Instructs Railway Trainmen.
Trainmaster T. M. Wallis, of the
Louisiana Division of the St. Louis,
Iron Mountain and Southern rail
way held what is known as the reg
ular monthly class meeting for the
employes of the Louisiana &, Pine
Bluff railway company in the gen
era! office Monday evening at which
fifteen trainmen were present. A
number of the rules of the company
were thoroughly discussed and ful
ly explained so that the employes
would be better fitted to see them
properly enforced and be bitter
able to avoid accidents. This is a
new feature of instruction on the
part of the railway company but a
good one as it keeps the employes
up-to-date on the rules and makes
them more careful in their work.

HIS PREFERENCE FOR HOr?
Oliver Wendell Pclrres Unable to C t
Any Real Pleasure in the
Vaunted “Tavern.”
Don't talk to me about tavern :!
There Is Just one genuine, ,-lean. de
cent, palatable thing occasionally to
lie bad in litem namely, a boiled ecu
The soups taste pretty good sot: e
times, but their source a are involv'd
In a darker mystery titan that of the
Nile. Omelettes taste ns if they h <1
been carried in the waiter's bat, or
fried in an old boot. 1 ordered scram
bled eggs ore day. It must be that
they had been scrambled for by some
body, but who- who In tlie possess! n
of a sound reason could have scram
bled for what I had set before ine un
der that name? Butter! I am wonder
ing why the taverns always keep it
until it is old. Fool lhat I am! \s
if tlie taverns did not know that If it
was good it would be eaten, which is
not what they want. Then tlie waiters,
with their napkins—what don’t !h -y
do with those napkins! Mention any
one thing of which yon think you c. n
say with truth, “That they do not do.”
Every six months a tavern should
burn to the ground, with all its traj s.
i s “properties,” its beds and pots and
kettles and start afresh from its ashes
like John Phoenix-Squibob.
No; give me heme, or a home like
mine, where all Is clean and swert,
where coffee has pre-existed in the b r
ry and tea bns still faint recollections
of the pigtails that dangled about the
plant from which it was picked, win re
butter has not the prevailing charac
ter which Pope assigned to Denham,
where soup could look you in the face
if it had “eyes” (which it has not),
and where tlie comely Anne or the
gracious Margaret takes (be place of
these napkin bearing animals.—Oliver
Wendell Holmes.
DISSOLVE BONE IN THROAT
Use of Lemon Juice at Critical Time
Is a Thing Worth Keeping
in Mind.
Sitting at a planked shad dinner in
Yonkers, a laughing guest drew a bone
into his throat and he began to
strangle. Some ono suggested that the
sufferer swallow a fragment of dry
bread.
"Oh, no," exclaimed an Ossining
man. "Don't give him bread. It might
catch tlte bone and it might not. tlhe
! him something that is sure to give re
lief." beckoning to a waiter, lie said:
I "Urlng mo a lemon, ent in two." And
! it was brought without delay. Taking
one section, he offered it to (tie chok
ing guest and told him to suek the
| juice and to swallow it slowly. Din o
| tions were faithfully fo lowed, and in
about a quarter of a minute the af
flicted ono placed the half lemon on
; his plate, looked into the anxious fa< es
I around the table and smiled,
"Well, Joe," said one. "how about
' it?"
"It's gone," was tlte reply, "the bone
has slipped down."
"Not exactly thatsaid the Ossin
ing man. "The bone slipped down, ail
right, but it was melted first by the
citric acid. 1 never knew it to fail
to dissolve a fishbone. You can test
the power of lemon juice by dropring
some on the fishbones you may have
lying on your plate.”
Several diners tried the experiment.
In each case the acid reduced the bone
to liquid gelatine.

It may be said that the Panama

world that a tropical pest1 h he can
by scientific methods be convert -d
in a half dozen years into a regular
health resort. Then again it h.iS
demonstrated that the government

concentrated in one good man

out that, the easy and effective way
in which the flood waters of tiie
