EURNING TROLLEY CARS.
The Right and the Wrong Way for
Motormen to Act.
It is not an uncommon - experience
for a motorman to so retin hts ma-
chinery with an excess of: current as
to burn out a fuse.
or the purpose of protecting the mo-
tor from injury when the ioad is put
on it suddenly, for an overload de-
velops heat, and the heat is liable to
damage the armature of the motor.
To avert the necessity for costly re-
pairs, the trolley companies put in
fuses, which work on the principle of
a safety valve.
Ordinarily, the only effect of melting
a fuse is temporarily to disable a car,
but occasionally the electric flash
which occurs when the fuse is de-
stroyed has a chance to ignite com-
ustible material near at hand. Once
in a while, therefore, the car itself is
set on fire in consequence. For the
former class of accident the motor-
man is usually prepared. He has an
extra fuse in his pocket, and puts it
in the place of the one which has been
“blown out.” The other class of
trouble, however, will generally take
him by surprise.
before saw such a
gets into a panic, therefore. and loses
his head. Many motormen think that
the best thing to do in such an emer-
gency is to put on all speed and run
for the car barn. That. practice was
recently condemned by The. Electrical
Review, which said:
Very likely he never
thing happen. He
First, a fire is most easily extingu-
ished when it is just starting; second,
the motion of the car only fans the
fiames and makes matters worse;
third, the accident to the car alarms
the passengers, and all that is need-
ed to throw them into a panic is to
shut them up in the car ang to rush
through the streets at a high speed.
It would be an exceptional crowd in-
deed that did not lose its head in such
a case, with the smoke coming up
from the floor, the car running at full
speed, the motorman ringing his gong
to warn persons on the street, and the
conductor blocking the way out.
The simplest plan to adopt in case
of such an emergency would be to
stop the car, so that the passengers
might get off before they became ex-
cited. The car’s crew, in the mean-
time could be extinguishing the fire.
If the fire is taken in hand quickly,
and is not too inaccessible, a bucket
or two of sand would probably be all
that would be necessary. It is desir-
able to avoid water if possible, but
even should this be necessary it is not
likely to do any permanent damage to
the equipment. A breakdown which
causes a fire usually means that the
car must be pushed to the car shed
by the next one behind, anyhow, as
the motors are pretty sure to be put
out of service temporarily, for only
when the car happens to be near the
shed when the "accident occurs can
it hope to reach it before a complete
breakdown takes place. Every prac
tice which tends to produce a feeling
of insecurity on the part of the pas-
sengers should be avoided. This is
one.
Strengthening the Nerves.
The nerves are strengthened, first,
by being regular in all things, espe-
cially in a systematic change between
work and recreation.
Second, by providing enough rest
and sleep, which not alone strength-
ens the nervous system, but also re-
freshens the entire body.
Third, to eat and drink moderately,
also leave these so-called riends
whose only pleasure in life consists in
late hours, and who are themselves
physical wrecks.
Last of all and most important of
all is the will pow which is the
chief aid in restoring health.
Whoever wishes to lose his ma

Th- Point of the Proverb.
‘An old proverb advises the sho&
maker to stick te his last. It means
that a man always succeeds best at
the business he knows. To the farmer
it means, stick to your plow: to the
blacksmith, stick to your forge; to the
painter, stick to your brush. When we
make experiments out of our line they
are likely to-prove expensive failures.
It is amusing, liowever, to remark
how every one of us secretly thinks he
could do some other fellow’s work bet-
ter than the otiiter fellow himself. The
painter imagines he can make paint
better than the paint manufacturer;
the farmer thinks he can do a job of
painting Detter, or at least cheaper
than the painter, and so on.
A farm bard in ene of Octave
Thanet’s stories tells the Walking Del-
egate of the Painters’ Union, *‘‘Any-
body can slatber paint;” and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman,
“Nene of your ready made mixtures
for me; I reckon I cought to know how
to mix paint.”
The farm hand is wrong and the
painter is wrong: ‘Shoemaker, stick
to your last”. ‘The "fancy farmer”
can farm, of course, but it is an. ex-
pensive amusement. If it strikes him
as pleasant to grow strawberries at
fifty cents-apiece, or to produce eggs
that cost him five dollars a dozen, it
is a form of amusement, to be sure, if
he can afford it, but it's not farming.
If a farmer likes to slosh around with
a paint brush and can afford the time
and expense of having a practical
painter do the job right pretty soon
afterward, it's a harmless form of
amusement. 1f the painter's customers
can - afford to stand for paint that
comes off in half the time it should,
they have a perfect right to indulge
his harmless vanity about his skill in
paint making. But in pone of these
cases does the shoemaker stick to his
last.
There is just one class of men in
the world that knews how to make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing it right; and that is the paint
manufacturers—the makers of the
standard brands: of ready-prepared
paints. The painter mixes paints; the
paint manufacturer grinds them to-
gether. In a good ready-prepared paint
every particle of one kind of pigment
is forced to jein hands with a particle
of another kind and every bit of solid
matter is forced. as it were, to open its
mouth and drink in its share of linseed
oil. That is the only way good paint
can be made, and if the painter knew
how to do it lie lias nothing at hand to
do it with. A paint pot and a paddle
are a poor substitute for power-mixers,
buhr-mills and rolier-mills.
The man who owns a building and
neglects to paint it as often as it needs
paint is only a degree more short-
sighted than the one who tries to do
his own painting or allows the painter
to mix his paint for him. P.G. -
Richest Gold Field.
Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, is
one of the newest and richest gold
fields in the werld. The following
advertisement was prominently dis-
played in a recent issue of the Kal-
goorlie Miner: ‘Watch the progress
of the British elections. Balfour, the
coercionist, is defeated. Should his
mate, Chamberlain. be also defeated,
all comers can indulge in a little
‘light refreshment’ free of charge for
a period of six hours, from 10 a. m. to
4 p. m.,, at Paddy Whalen’s* Sham-
rock Hotel.”
ULCERS IN EYES.
Awful Discharge Fromm Eyes and Noses
Grateful Mother Stromgly Rec-
ommends Cuticura.
“I used the Cuticura Remedies eight
years ago for my little boy who had ulcers
in the eyes, which resulted from vacecina-
tion. His face and nose were in a bad
state also. At one time we thought he
would lose his sight forever, and at that
time he was in the hospital for seven or
eight: months and under specialists. The
discharges from the eves and nose were
bad and would have left scars, 1 féel sure,
had it not been for the free use of the
Cuticura Remedies. But through it all
we used tne Cuticura Soap, Ointment and
Resolvent, and lots of it, and I feel grate-
ful for the benefit he received from them.
The Cuticura Resolvent seemed to send
the trouble out, the Ointment healed it
outwardly, and the Soap cleansed and
healed both. He is entirely cured now,
. but since then I have bought the Cuticura
Resolvent to cleanse and purify the blood,
and the Soap I cannot speak too highly of
as a. cleansing and medicinal beautifier.

He made a gesture of amazement.
“How strange that . is,” he said.
‘We believe in the Bible, the Al-
gerians believe in the Koran, but
both of us believe in the same wash-
day.
“The Germans,
English, the Scuth Americans,
Arabs, the Japs, the Chinese, all
have Monday for wash-day. Go

on Monday clothes, white and wet

“I reiterate all I have
, said before in praise
of Doan’s Kidney
: Pills. I bad been
5% 4% having heavy back-
