For 47 Yrnrfl n Itallroud Conductor. Early this fall the management of the 13. & O. R. R. decided that the uni formed force should be provided with service stripes , and on the winter uni forms each man has one or more gold stripes on his right sleeve if he has been in the service for five or more years. The gold stripe stands for live years continuous employment by the company and a glance over the list develops an interesting and instructive condition of affairs. The ordinary man , In a peaceful and uneventful vocation , is seldom in con tinuous service for forty years , yet on the B. & 0. R. R. there is a hale and W. H. GREEN. He has been employed in the B. & O. for 50 years. hearty old man , with keen , undimmed eyes , and a springy step that has been in the continuous employ of the com pany for 50 years and is still better than many men half his age. W. H. Green is his name , but every body on the line calls him "Captain Harry" and he has a record that any man , in any station in life , would be more than proud of. Captain Green is probably tie old est passenger conductor in the world. If he is not he has the best record , for not once has he been suspended from duty for any cause whatever. And then , too , he has never been injured. Green was born on September 12 , 1827 , in Cockeysville , Baltimore county , Md. , and entered the B. & O. service March 3 , 1850 , as a freight brakeman. He was promoted in two years to freight con ductor and in 1857 was given a pas senger train and has served in that capacity ever since. He is now run ning through trains between Baltimore and Cumberland , Md. , and wears ten service stripes on his right arm. For many years B. & 0. train em ployes have had an enviable reputa tion for politeness to passengers and attention to duty , and the adoption of the service stripe system will give the traveling public an opportunity to rec ognize long and faithful service.

NO USE TO GARGLE THROATS. riiyIclai > ii Kay Tliut the Liquid Itenclic * Only to tlio Mldcllo of the Tongue. One of the most cherished tenets of the household school of medicine is that gargling with a mixture of vine gar and water is good for a sore throat. Now come physicians with their cold scjence to say not only that the vine gar and water is useless , but that the whole idea of gargling is Ineffective. In brief , they say that gargling is of no utility , because not a drop of the liquid used ever gets further than the middle of the tongue. They appear to be able to prove this statement. The whole therapeutic value of gargling depends on whether the fluid used reaches the mucous membrauce of the pharynx and tonsils or not. The scien tists who have been testing the matter declare that a liquid cannot reach the tonsils or back of the throat because the air Is expelled by the lungs in the effort of gargling as well as the shape assumed by the velum , throws the liq uid away from the very parts it is supposed to reach. The experiments which have demonstrated the inutility of gargling were made by Dr. Sanger of Munich , and have since been confirmed by other investigators. The tonsils of a patient were painted with methylene blue , a very soluble dye , which gives an intense color. The patient was then given a glass of plain distilled water and'was instructed to gargle with it. When the water which the patient ejected from his mouth was examined it was found to be absolutely colorless. A glance at the patient's tonsils showed that they were as blue as ever. Then another and more exact experiment was decided upon. When starch Is touched by iodine it imme diately turns a bright color. A portion tion of the tongue , velum and tonsils of the patient were therefore dusted over with wheat flour , which is rich in starch , and he was then given a weak solution of iodine to gargle. This proceeding meant that if any of the liquid which the patient was using as a gargle touched the wheat flour it would immediately color it blue. When the patient had used all the gargle his mouth was examined. It was found that the velum and tongue bore the blue reaction of the iodine , showing that the flour had been reached by the liquid , but on the tonsils the flour had neither been colored nor washed away. New York Journal. One Use for Clgnreltcg. At last the cigarette habit has been put to a useful purpose , and if the ex ample is followed , the evil may in time be , to some extent , palliated. The credit of the discovery belongs to a young married woman of Washington , who revealed her method to a reporter of the Star. "You see , " said she , "I would rather Ned didn't smoke at all , but so long as he does , I prefer cigar ettes , and stipulate that he shall roll them himself. It's the only way I can get my errands done for me down town or even make him remember to pay the gas bill on the last day before the discount Is off. Nov. ' , when Ned starts out in the morning I" take his package of cigarette paper and write memo randa on them in pencil. If it is stuff from the greengrocer's , I make a listen on the top paper of the pack , and he is sure to see it about the time he gets to the corner , and he goes in and leaves the order. If I want him to tel ephone Alice to come to luncheon , I note the fact about three papers down , and he is sure to get the mes sage soon after reaching the office. When I have anything I want him to run and attend to at noon , I put a memorandum on the sixth paper , and he is certain to read it just as he is coming back to the office from his luncheon. And if it is something I want brought home for dinner , I only need to write 'bread" or "beefsteak,1 or whatever it is , on the tenth paper , and it comes home promptly. I tell you there is nothing like executive ability when it comes to managing your hus band. " The inference is that the husband will in time relinquish the cigarette habit. They Don't Like Tin Sappers. Seeing a cart load of tin chippings being taken into one of London's larg est hotels , the writer inquired the rea son. "We use it for rats , " ths porter replied. "The hotel rat is bigger , bolder and wiser than any other. He laughs at traps , fattens on poison , and the killing or chasing of dogs , cats or ferrets i s his pet diversion. Even when energetic measures have rid us of the pests they are with us again in greater force within a day or two. They will tunnel through anything. Pilling the holes with broken glass was considered a good scheme until we found that with marvelous patience they removed the glass piece by piece. But we think we've beaten them now. With this tangled-i'p tin we cover all ) laces where the beasts are likely to enter our cellars. They can't chew it , and they can't carry it away as they do broken bottles , for when Mr. Rat takes hold of a single strip of the tin he finds it an inseparable part of a network weighing many pounds.
