THE RAILROADS.
In France 1,550 miles. of light rail-
ways have been already'built, though
many of the lines last year were
werked at a loss.
Figures show that the railway fore-
closure sales for 1895 far eclipsed those
of any other year in respect to mileage
and capital involved.
An engineer on the Midland railway
in England was blown ofii his engine
by the wind recently while going at
full speed without his fireman missing
him. He picked himself up and walked
to the next stat-ion to report.
A distinguished Russian engineer, C.
A. Monkovsky, chief government en-
gineer of the department of eastern Si-
beria, arrived in San Francisco a few
days ago with the object of studying
certain features of American railroad-
ing.
There was a considerable increase in
the output of railway locomotives and
freight ears in the United States (lur—
ing 180:3 over 1804. Last year 1,10910co-
motives were built, as against 695 in
1894, and 31,803 freightcars were built,
as against 17,020 in 1804. ;
SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.
The butterfly collection belonging to
Prof. Neumoegen, of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
is worth $60,000.
Two statuettes in brass of Hecate
and Demeter have been found in exca—
vating southwest of the Acropolis at
Athens by Prof. Dorpfeld, president of
the German Archaeological institute:
A German engineer, Dr. Gottig, has
invented and patented a method of mak-
ing aluminium chemically unalterabde
by a process which gives it the appear-
ance of Japanese bronze.
A company has been organized to
promote the a pplieation of wood pulp to
textile uses, or for making an artificial
cotton known aspulp cloth. This new
fabric is said to resemble white duck
very closely.
In the British museum are bricks
taken from the buildings in Nineveh
and Babylon, which show no sign of de-
cay or disintegration, although the
ancients did not burn or bake them,
but dried them in the sun.
SUGGESTIONS FOR MOTHERS.
The children whose mothers have no
time to pet them are to be pitied.
To amuse children and to romp with
them is sometimes quite as much a. re-
ligious duty as to pray for them.
A nervous, worn-out, fretful woman
is not a fit associate for a sensitive, im-
pressionable child who reflects the pass-
ing moods of those about him as in a
looking-glass.
It is cruelty to a child to neglect its
teeth. From the time of the first appear-
ance of the teeth through the gums, they
should be rubbed twice a day with a soft
rag and lime water, until one year old,
when a soft brush should be substituted.

LIKE AN OCTUPUSJ
And Just as Bad. You Can Find
Them in Norwalk as Well
as Florida.
Ever see an octopus? All arms, you
know. '
Hue eight of them—and all bad.
Do you know howit catches its vic-
tims?
Throws out an arm, then another, and
another. as. 1..., no.
‘And you’re in the toils.
Then it drags you down to death.
Just like Kidney diaease.
Seizes you with backache first.
Then acute pains.
'i‘hen urinary disorders.
Then sediment of gravel.
Then Diabetes, or Bright’s Disease.
Then, the cemetery.
Not pleasant reading, is it?
Well, the disease isn’t pleasant either.
We know what will kill this octopus.
Dean’s Kidney Pills do it every time.
Norwalk people knew it too, now.
a You read about it every day—and it’s
so. ‘
Here is Norwalk testimony. Miss
Hanna Cline resides at No. 58 Belden
avenue. Her mother says: My daugh-
ter has had a weak back. Has been
troubled with backache. Went to
Hale’s drug store. Got a box of Doan’s
Kidney Pills. The Pills cured her.
What better proof than this of merit,
home testimony, the statement of :1
Norwalk citizen. “ ’Tis easy to endorse
it, and there are many more just like
this, which render doubt out of the
question. Ask your neighbor's if they
0
‘ have used Doan’s Kidney Pills, and if
they have you are not forced to take
our recommendation; take theirs and
we are satisfied.
Dean’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents, mailed by
Foster-Milburn 00., Buffalo, ‘N. Y.,
sole agents for the United States.
All those creeping, crawling, stinging
sensations that combine to make up the
tortures of any itching disease of the
skin are instantly relieved and perma-
nently cured by Doan’s Ointment.
Take no substitute. Dean’s never fails.
