Into a batllo royul comes the shrewd est sides of the railroad, the legal and claim departments and a class of the lonal fraternity as clover nnd as able ns it frequently is unscrupulous and dishonest. Not that all damage claims made against the transporta tion companies nre fraudulent, by any means. But It has been shown re peatedly and beyond doubt that a large class of these claims are dis honest from the outset, that a good many persons throughout the coun try have made a profession of this sort of business, a form of crime that until a short time ago offered the richest pecunlnry results, with the least chance of detection, of any "big work." Within a very few years nble detective work by some of tho big Kastern street railroad companies has placed- a quietus on some of theso folks, and stone cells at the disposal of a number of others of them. Two trolley cars collide In tho mid dle of a downtown street In a busy city. As the first sequence to the collision come tho police nnd the hos pital calls.. Upon the heels of (ho pa trol wagons and the ambulances the reporters for tho dally papers arrive. Shrewd folk, who are understudies for thos9 who have made "fake" claims for their profession and car ried It to fine lengths, and who havo been fortunate In being passengers in the wrecked cars, and more for tunate In escaping real Injury, are de veloping wondrous aches and pains and giving their names to the re porters or the police as proofs for the future issue. The small fry law yers "ambulance chasers," they are called are early on the scene. They cultivate the friendship of the police reporters and use that friendship to the best advantage at such times as these. In case, though, they do not get to the scene of the smash In time there are the telephone and other devices that can be brought quickly Into play. Little tlmo is lost in advising the "victim" of the oppor tunity of large returns that wait him If he places a Blzable claim against the transportation company without delay. The railroad company has not been asleep all this time. Motorman or conductor or inspector has rushed to the nearest drug store telephone, and the superintendent of the road does not know of the accident before Its chief claim agent. While the first of these men is busy getting tower wag ons and wrecking crews to the scene, the second has routed out his cos sacks, like firemen for a four alarm blaze. They are on the scene as soon ns the "ambulance chasers," ready and willing to settlo all valid claims on the spot without further edo. A clever lot of young men these, nnd capablo of being worth much more than their salaries to the companies that employ them. But they need every bit of ability that they can summon to their aid, for they are pitted against many and many an un scrupulous man or woman who stoops to this-meanest form of graft. It is not alone the dishonest claimant who stands facing him, but the attorney who is that claimant's colleague also has a club in hand for him. Some of the sharpest lawyers find that they make their best living from this very class of cases. Sometimes they take their first training In the law offices of the railroads, so as to observe tho methods of their future antagonists. Once they have a working knowledge of this sort as a good part(of their Btock in trade they turn in cold blood upon their corporation employer, and set out to harass and annoy him un til the end of his days.

Dr. Fraenkel, of Berlin, In a paper recently read before the Society of Medicine of that city, gave striking figures concerning the wgr waged by medicine against consumption.

This satisfac tory state of things Dr. Fraenkel at tributes party to the discoveries of Koch, and he divides the honors equally between prophylactic meth ods and the system of isolation new widely practiced In Germany. STRAW FOR HATS. Hon- the Wheat is Planted and Gai ncred Bleaching the Stalks. Few people know where the straw for making summer hats comes from. A great part of It is grown in Italy. To make suitable Btraw the wheat is sown as thickly as possible, in order that the growth of the plant may be Impoverished, as well as to produce a thin stalk having toward the end from the last knot the lightest and longest btraw. The wheat blooms at the beginning of June, and is pulled up by the roots by hand when the grain is half de veloped. If allowed to remain in the ground a longer time the straw would become brittle. About five dozen uprooted branches, the size of the compass of two hands, are firmly tied together into little sheaves and stowed away in barns. Then the Btraw is again spread out to catch the heavy summer dews and to .bleach in the sun. After additional bleaching the straw Is put into small bundles and classified. Finally it is cut close above the first Joint from the top and again tied up in small bundles containing about sixty stalks each. Golden Halfpenny. Prehistoric Drawings.

Two fcreens one green and ono orange red are found to give correct color effects, and the film Is first exposed In alternate strips under the screens, the dors being restored In reproducing the picture by a rotating disc, so synchronized that the proper color will always be oppo site the point originally exposed un der that color. The defects nre cor rected by the eye defect known as per sistence of vision. Cause of Headaches. Too late going to bed, too early ris ing or anything that promotes want of sleop are fertile causes of headaches, Long walks before breakfast are very bad for delicate people, and often bring on headache. Brain repair goes on during sleep. People often don't know, or forget, this. If you are worrying or work ing hard all day, then go to bed late and get up early, you are very likely to be a "martyr to headache." More sleep Is what you .need to cure you. For all nervous headaches hot fo mentations are most comforting and curative. They are far better than cold applications. Want of exercise, living In badly ventilated rooms, Indigestion or any thing thnt lowers the health, predis poses to headache. When headaches are not cured by simple means, a doctor should be con sulted. They mean something. When hot fomentations are UBed, the application of them to the nape of the neck, as well as t the forehead, will give more relief than If used to the forehend only. The heat to the sign al cord soothes the brain. New York, Times. Alcohol from Peat.

Adipose Uhhuo is chiefly composed of fat. Fat I derived from tho oily constit uents of food. The fat-mnking foods are called by the phyniologlHt, hydrocarbons. This class of foods are not digested in tho stomach at all. They are digested In the duodenum, tho division of tlia ali mentary canal Just below tho stomach. Thedigoation of fat Is mainly, if not wholly, the work of tho pancreatla Juice. This Jul co Is of alkaline reac tion, and Is rendorod Inert by the addi tion of arid. A hyperacidity of the digestive fluids of tho stomach passing dowu into tho duodenum, diwtroyii tho pancreatic fluid for digestive pur poses. Therefore, the fats are not di gested or emulsified, and tho systnm ia deprived of its due proportion of oily constituents. II unco, tho patlont grow thin. The beginning of tho trouble- Is a ca tarrhal condition of tho stomach which causes, hyperacidity of tho gastrio Juices. Tills hyporacldity Is caused by fermentation of food in tho stomach.

By ' hurrying digestion, Peruna prevent fermentation of the contents of th stomach, and tho pancroatia Juice is thn preserved in its normal state. It then only remains for the patient to eat ufnaieut amount of fat-forming foods, and the thinness disappears and plump ness takes its place.
