Unconscious Absurdity.
We owe a great debt to the uncon-
scious humorists of everyday life. It
was one of these humorists who delight-
ed a New York woman, the guest of on
out-of-town relative. on a recent night.
The small boy of the family, protesting,
had been despatched to his room on an
upper floor, and was supposed to have
gone to bed.
Mother (half an hour later, calling
at foot of stairs)—Aren't you undressed
yet?
Small boy—Nope.

dressed enough for me to come up and

FEWER T.I•IAN NEEDED,
Airbrakes, Block System, and Return to
Normal Traffic.
Extraordinary .retrenchment on railroads
commenced a few months ago, and contin-
ues.
Annual reports for the fiscal year ending
June 30th show no material reduction in
gross earnings, but net earnings are not pro-
portionately satisfactory.
Traffic officials Insist that prospects are
bright for business during the coming fall
and winter.
Why does retrenchment on railways con-
tinue?" was asked one of the division super-
intendents here. Ile replied:
"You must go back thirty years for one
cause. At that time a certain element that
loves to have a mission clamored for bet-
ter for brakemen. Some of the
clergy preaoed about it from their pulpits,
Tho result is compulsory use of ai•brakes
and a rapidly lessening need for brakemen.
Another cause for retrenchment is the
rapid extension of the block system. With
the main line completely equipped with
blocks any road can operate trains with
smaller crews, for the danger of collisions is
reduced to a minimum.
"Another cause for retrenchment is the de-
velopment of system in the clerical depart-
ment. Work is simplified and lessened and
fewer employees are required.
"Another cause for retrenchment is the
change from abnormal to normal conditions
in traffic. Each division superintendent is
instructed to make expenses proportionate to
earningee When he has to reduce expenses
he lessens the number of employees wher-
ever they can be got along without. It is no
longer good policy to attempt to reduce pay
rather than dismiss employees. Such re-
trenchment effects shopmen, yardmen, etc.
"About six months ago was the beginning
of abnormal traffic. All the business of the
country was pushed to the greatest possible
extent. That extraordinary business could
not be kept up. There is necesarily a limit
to business energy in any country. Condi-
tions are back to normal. There is less traf-
fic and consequently fewer employees are
required on the, railroads."

Railway Travel in 1830.
In 1830, when the railway was opened
between Liverpool and Manchester, the
Liverpool terminus was at Wapping.
Lime street tunnel was not completed
until about six years later.
At first the service consisted of three
trains each way on week days and two
on Sundays, but this .was soon found to
be insufficient. After Lime street sta-
tion was opened there were six first-
class trains and six second-class trains
each way on week days and two of each
description on Sundays. The journey of
thirty-one miles occupied nearly two
hours, which led to complaints that the
speed was too great to be pleasant and
caused dizziness. On the other hand,
sanguine expectations were indulged in
that in course of time the average rate
of traveling would be at least double the
ordinary speed of the swiftest convey-
ances drawn liy horses. It was antici-
pated that the general adoption of rail-
ways *would lead to "a vast decrease in
the consumption of oats and hay by the
substitution of steam engines in Iieu of
horses, and that portion of the soil which
has hitherto been allotted to the growth
of such produce may be appropriated to
the raising of food suitable for human
species"—an important consideration in
the time of the Corn laws. It could not
have been foreseen that the railway sys-
tem, so far from superseding horses,
would lead to an immense increase in the
demand for them.—Liverpool Post.

CREATING A DEMAND,
An unknown breakfast food was in
troduced to the public through the
newspapers. The first effort was a page
advertisement in each of the leading
Sunday newspapers for four successive
Sundays, at a cost of $25,000. After
that nearly 1,000 daily newspapers were
used regularly. A demand had to be
created, and the newspaper advertising
did it.

Remedy For Burns,
For a dry burn, Barron oil. Shake the
bottle, saturate a soft cloth with the
mixture and lay over the burn. Then cov-
er closely with cotton batting or flan-
nel to keep out every bit of air and se-
cure the whole with a light bandage.
Burns may also be treated by a thick
application of any bland oil, vaseline,
sweet oil, castor oil, butter, cold cream
or any fat not rancid, excepting glycer-
ine, which is too iritating. Soft powders
may also be dusted on, flour, laundry or
corn starch. For a burn by scald or
steam apply a dressing of saturated soda.

Mr. Carnegie's Religion.
It is a fact now generally known that
Andrew Carnegie has the organ played
every morning in his fifth avenue man-
sion when he is in town. This practice
of the ironmaster has given his servants
the impression that their master is a
churchgoing Christian; more especially as
he insists on his help,—who, by the way,
are all Scotch, —going to church every
Sunday.
This belief of the Carnegie servants
gave a newspaper man a great deal of
work and led to his being rebuked by Mr.
Carl Schurz, neighbor of Mr. Carnegie,
recently. The library giver had been re-
ported as saying that he had ceased to
pray twenty years ago, and the scribe
was sent out to ascertain Mr. Carnegie's
religious proclivities if possible. Mr. Car-
negie himself was away.
"Sure he goes to church," said the man
who answered the reporter's ring. "He's
a brow releegious man, he is, and will
have nae one aroond him who isn't a
guid Chreestian."
First Direction Impossible.
The old man sat alone in his cabin, where
the hand of woman had never been known
and dirt reigned triumphant. The conver-
sation turned upon cooking. "Yeas," drawled
the old man, "I got me one o' them there
cookbooks wunst, but I never could do
nothin' with it." "What was the trouble?"
asked his visitor persuasively. "Why, every
one o' them blamed receipts starts off with
'take a clean dish.' "

Stopping Bleeding by Music.
Perhaps the strangest use to which
music can be put is to stop the flow of
blood from a. wound. An army doctor
noticed that when a :wounded soldier was
taken ;:to within an easy hearing distance
of music hemorrhage was greatly reduc-
ed or stoped. Neither he nor others who
confirmed his observations could under-
stand how this phenomenon was brought
about, but it is now believed that the vi-
bration of the air produced by music
causes the patient to become faint, in
which case the action of the heart is so
oonarderably lessened that the flow of
blood is reduced.
