Time and a half will !- ij.id by the Burlington for all over time put in by the men employed in the Havelock shops. It is hard to fully realize how great is tho demand j it at present for ail sorts of railroad m tterial.i and equip ment, and the statement of a man long connected wilh ono of the larg est locomotive works in this country is especially interesting, says the Railroad Gazette. He pays tbat par ticular company now Das orders that will keep its plant running to the full capacity until next April, and it is safe to assume tbat ether builders are similarly fixed. Railroads placing or ders now cannot get deliveries much under seven or eight months.

Beeba of 73 Dunlap street, Memphis. Tenn.. a wonderful madstone, which tor 75 years has enjoyed the reputa tion of performing wonderful cures of hydrophobia. Mrs. John Shelton. the sister of Mru. Beebe. is the owner of the stone. It was willed to her by her father, a minister in the Chris tian church, to whom it was presented by a poor German woman In his par ish. The pastor made good use of it for more than half a century. In all those years only two persons treated with the stone failed to recover. One of these had let the wound go un attended for over nine days; the other was a farmer, too busy with his crop 10 permit of the applications which were considered necessary. Mrs. Shel ton lost her father twenty years ago. She ha3 used the madstone constantly since and has never either lost a case or made a charge for treating. People come from far and near to be treated. In many instances dumb brutes that have been bitten by rabid dogs have died, while people bitten by the same dogs have recovered, showing con clusively that the animals were mad. The stone is broken in several pieces and has something the appearance of a piece of coral. It Is porous and absorbs the poison when applied to the wound. It was broken by being gnawed by a valuable dog. The dog was beiAg treated for hydrophobia. He had been bitten and the stone was bound to his wound. He not only gnawed the stone off, but tried to chew it Into bits. The stone Is applied by being first put In hot water for a few minutes. Then it is taken out and placed, as hot as can be borne, upon the wound. This Is repeated hourly for twelve hours. If there Is more than one wound the treatment Is extended to twenty-four hours. An fnnecessary Explanation. He was describing a hold-up in which he had played the star oart. "Yes." he said, "the biggest ruffian held me so tightly against the brick wall that I could feel the mortar scratching my backbone. 'Gimme your watch.' he growled. I gave It to him Immediately." There was a pause. uave it ngnt up, eh?" said the breathless listener. "Yes," said the victim, "I did." Then he dreamily. added: "You see. I wa9 pressed for time!" Cleveland Plain Dealer.
