Honor to Whom Honor In Dun.
The railroads have been greatly
abused as soulless corporations that
were grinding the life blood out of tho
people. The great Galveston disaster
has, however, revealed the fact that
the managers of these corporations
have hearts which are susceptible of
being touched by the cries of distress.
Their trains were placed at the dis
posal of all those engaged in relief
work on the coast. Provisions and
supplies were carried forward free of
charge, committees from every sec
tion of the state were furnished trans
portation, and when the refugees from
Galveston began to pour Into Houston
and it became a r.crious question what
was to be done with them the railroads
solved the problem by furnishing
transportation without charge to all
who wished to leave and to any point
they wished to go. Grand Master An
derson informs us that but for this
fact Houston would have been overrun
with people who had to bo cared for,
and that suffering and distress would
have been largely increased as well as
the cost of meeting conditions which
would have prevailed. Bro. Anderson
desires us, through these columns, to
thank the different roads for the great
service rendered his committee at
Houston. If it were possible we would
be glad to see parallel columns, In one
of which should appear the acts of
these railroad corporations in a time
of great calamity ami distress, and In
the other the amount contributed by
the little two-by-four demagogues who
are always trying to array the preju
dices of the masses against any and
every kind of enterprise.—From the
Texas Odd Fellow.
APPENDICITIS
that dreadful fiend that threatens the
life of rich and poor, can attack and
lull only those whose bowels are not
kept thoroughly cleaned out, purified
and disinfected the year round. One
whose liver is dead, whose bowels
and stomach are full of half decayed
food, whose whole body is unclean
inside, is a quick and ready victim
of appendicitis.
If you want to be safe against the
scourge, keep in good health all the
time, KEEP CLEAN INSIDE! Use
the only tonic laxative, that will
make your bowels strong and healthy,
and keep them pure and clean, pro
tected against appendicitis and ALL

A GREAT RAILWAY.
"he Four-Thousntiil-MIle Road That Run*
Through Siberia.
The most interesting portion ol
fitfsia's great 4,000-mlle railway It
he steam ferry across Lake Baikal in
entral Siberia. The lake, says th.
.ondon Sphere, has an extent of over
hirteen thousand square: miles, and
s more than twice as wid? as the Eng
ish channel at Dover. In places it is
is deep as 4,500 feet, and parts of it
lave never been plumbed. It is sur
ounded by some of the hardest moun
-ains which a railway engineer could
Jncounter. The official plan of the
Transsiberian railway includes a rail
way round the southern end of the
lake, to connect the two lake Hhore
termini, but the enormous difficulty
and expense, which is an important
matter to Russia at the present time,
of constructing such a line conspire to
indefinitely postpone its completion.
At present, therefore, the railway is
broken in two by this huge Lake Bai
kal, the western shore terminus be
ing at Baranshiki, and the eastern at
Misovaya. To link the two ends with
a steam ferry which would be able to
break through the ice which covers the
lake from the middle of December to
May was doubtless suggested by the
excellent work of the Yermak ice
breaker In the Baltic. Sir William
Armstrong, Whitworth & Co., of New
castle, were the constructors of the
Yermak, and to the order of the Rus
sian government, they constructed a
second and larger ice-breaker, which
was christened the Baikal. The parts
of the vessel were put together on the
shores of the lake by the firm’s en
gineers. It is curious that a railway
first suggested to the Russian govern
ment by an Englishman should owe
its most vital part to an English firm.
The Baikal has three lines of rails
laid upon her main deck to carry one
passenger and two goods trains across
the lake. The trains enter the ice
breaker at the bow, which is run up
against a pier. The rails are connect
ed and the trains run into the vessel.
With tliis load she will crush her way
through three feet of ice at a speed of
thirteen knots an hour. A screw at n
how with a separate engine sucks away
the water from underneath the ice at
the bow, which tints splits from its
own weight; the two stubby bladed
propellers at the stern at the same
time force (he vessel through the bro
ken ice sheet. The actual track of the
Baikal measures thirty-nine miles.
There is a harbor and lighthouse at
tlie southwestern end of the lake, but
there is no dock where the Baikal
could he repaired in case of need. At
present, therefore, Russia’s 4.000-mile
railway Is absolutely dependent for a
through journey on the reliability of
a Britiah-build railway ferry.
Preferred I.usli to Prtion.
Two young negroes who had stolen
some clothing from a local merchant
were convicted in Fulton, Mo., recent
ly, and sentenced to four and six
months respectively, in the county
jail. Shortly the county attorney ask
ed the boys in a jocular way which
they preferred, their jail sentences or
twenty-five lashes on the bare back.
Each promptly answered that he
would take the whipping. No more
was thought of It by the officials, how
ever, until several days later, when
a note from the prisoners reached the
prosecuting attorney, telling him that
they were ready and anxious to take
the whipping and get their release, and
would promise to leave Fulton and
never return. They were taken at their
word. Constable Earner, who weighs
218 pounds, was hunted up, and the
negroes w»re taken to the sheriff’s
office, where the big constable laid the
lash on their bare backs in the old
fashioned way. Every blow from the
rawhide made the darkies groan with
pain, but they gamely took the pun
ishment they had chosen and were
given their release.—Kansas City Jour
nal.

About the Chinese Kiuperor.
Tea used by the emperor of China
is prepared with the utmost care. It
is grown in a walled garden, so that
neither man or beast may be able to
touch the plants. When the time for
gathering it comes those to whom
the task is intrusted have to abstain
from fish, lest their breath should
spoil the flavor of the tea. They must
wear gloves and three times a day they
are obliged to bathe.
When an emperor of China reaches
a suitable age to marry he has the
choice of ail the high-bred young wo
men of his dominion, their parents be
ing commanded to prepare them for
presentation at the court. This com
mand is given to families of officials
of the first to the third rank, none
others being deemed worthy of such a
distinction. In anticipation of the im
perial command, the daughters of the
highest officials are kept unmarried till
the emper#r arrives at marriageable
age. When the time comes for the
emperor to Belect a bride certain days
and hours are set apart for the daugh
ters to enter the imperial city and to
he presented to the emperor. When
at last the emperor's choice has been
made the other women are free to wed,
but in each case they must obtain per
mission from the sovereign.

THE NERVES OF WOMEN I
1“ I am so nervous and wretched.” “I feel as if I should 8
fly.” How familiar these expressions are! Little tilings
annoy you and make you irritable. You can’t sleep, you are
unlit for ordinary duties, and are subject to dizziness.
That bearing-down sensation helps to make you feel
miserable.
You liavo backache and pains low down in the side, pain
in top of head, later on at the base of the brain.
Such a condition points unerringly to serious uterine I
trouble.
If you had written to Mrs. Pinkham when you first ex- fl
perienced impaired vitality, you would have been spared y
these hours of awful suffering.
Happiness will be gone out of your life forever, my sister, I
unless you act promptly. Procure Lydia K. Pinkliom’s |
Vegetable Compound at once. It is absolutely sure to
help you. Then write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., if
there is anything about your case you do not understand.
You need not be afraid to tell her the things you could
not explain to the doctor—your letter is seen only by women
and is absolutely confidential. Mrs. Pinkham’s vast experi
ence with such troubles enables her to tell you just what is
best for you, and she will charge you nothing for her advice.

others to avail themselves of the benefit of your val
uable remedy. Before taking Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound, I felt very bad,
was terribly nervous and tired, had sick headaches,
no appetite, gnawing pain in stomach, pain in my
back and right side uni so weak I could scarcely
stand. I was not able to do anything. Had sharp
pains all through my body. Before 1 had taken half
a bottle of your medicine, I found myself improv
ing. I continued its use until 1 had taken four
bottles, and felt so well that I did not need to
take any more. I am like a new person, and your
medicine shall always have my praise.”—Mbs. W.
