"With 2,040 active employes who nave been In service forty years or longer, and with 1,572 men who served forty years or more and are now receiving pensions the Pennsylvania railroad has a payroll which is probably unique among those of the corporations of the country. No less remarkable is the fact that the "Pennsylvania's records show that today there are upon its payroll 489 men who have been in its service more than fifty years. One employe has been receiving pay from the Pennsylvania for sixty-six years. The following table gives the number of employes in the service of the Pennsylvania railroad for fifty years r longer.

In making public the above figures the Pennsylvania does not say its employes are blessed with longevity, but it indicates such by the following statistlcs which show that it has in active service 4.717 employes who are between the ages of sixty and sevienty years Pennsylvania employes retire at seventy." A striking comparison exists between the Pennsylvania jrecords and the Carlisle table of mortality used by insurance companies. IWhile the latter shows the expectanicy of a man twenty-one years of age Ito be 40.75 years, the Pennsylvania 'railroad has 4j015 employes who have exceeded this. The following figures show the number of Pennsylvania railroad emIployes between the ages of 60 and 70

There are living today eight Pennsylvania - railroad employes , who are tover ninety years of age. All of them, 'tof course, receiving their regular pension payments from the company. The oldest employe is Andrew 'Abels, who was born May 23, 1817, and is, therefore, ninety-five years of age. He lives in Philadelphia where, prior to retirement, he was employed by the railroad as a clerk. The following are the other nonagenarians on the payroll of the Penncylvanlan railroad: Michael Eckerline, of Altoona, Pa., born Jan. 15, 1820. He was employed as a laborer in the Altoona shops by the Pennsylvania railroad on February 1.' 1854. , James Kaylor, of Altoona, Pa., born October 25, 1820. Until his retirement he was employed as a blacksmith in the Altoona shops, where he bad worked since 1862. Ellas Griffith, of Altoona. Pa., born October 25, 1820. He served as watchman at the Altoona shops from February 8, 1866 to Jan. 1, 1900, when the railroad pension system became operBtlve. .... James I Shields, of Blairsvllle, Pa., born Jan. , 11, 1821.

"Three yeri ago this winter I had a breaking out that covered my whole body. It itched so it seemed as if I should ko crazy. it nrst came out in little pimples on my back and spread till it covered my whole body and Umbo down to my knees, also my arms down to my elbows. Where I scratched, it made sores, and the terrible itching and burning' kept me from sleeping. I tried several remedies all to no purpose. Then I concluded to try the Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuticura Boat and Cuticura Ointment, also the Resolvent, for about four months, and they , completely cured me of eczema. I have had no return of the disease since. I never had rood night's rest after the skin eruption first broke out till I commenced using the Cuticun Soap and Ointment. I had only " used them a few days before I could see 7 they were beginning to heal, and the terrible Itching was gone. "Those that lired In the house at the time know how I suffered, and how the Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured roe. 1 never take a bath without using the Cuticura Soap, and I do not believe there are better remedies for any skin disease than the Cuticura Soap and Ointment."

BODY

Hew Many Richmond Readers Have Had Those Sudden Twinge. Have you ever had a 'crick" in the back? Does your back ache with a dull, heavy, draggy throb? Is it hard to straighten up after stooping? Hard to arise from a chair or turn in bed? Is the urine dark colored? Passages irregular? When your kidneys need attention, use a tested kidney remedy. Use Doan's Kidney Pillsr-a remedy that has cured thousands. Convincing proof of merit in the following statement. Mrs. Lydia Huddleston, N. Front Sts., Cambridge City, Ind., says: "I had occasion to use Doan's Kidney Pills three years ago for kidney complaint and backache. My experience was so satisfactory that I gladly tell of it.

He served as a laborer on the Belvidere division from April 1, 1855 to the date of his retirement. Charles A. Jeffries, of Lancaster, Pa., enjoys the distinction of having been on the payroll of the Pennsylvania railroad longer than any other employe. He was born October 8. 1822, and in July, 1846, was employed by the Columbia and Philadelphia railroad as a fireman. He was made engineer in 1849, and in 1883 his occupation was changed to signal repairman. The Pennsylvania railroad trains its officers from the rank and file. Young men pust out of school or college begin their work for the company by learning the very rudiments of railroading; and there are many years of hard work before they even show their heads above their fellows, or their superiors learn whether they are fitted for promotion. A census recently made of Pennsylvania railroad officers gives striking evidence of the policy the company pursues in training men. Of 178 officers included in the railroad's official biographi&l list, 171, or 96 per cent., have been with the company all their business life. Of the 178, those who received a college education num- j ber 84, or approximately 50 per cent. , The seven cases where officers have not been In the service of the railroad the entire time since leaving school include such as required special train-' ing, which the railroad did not offer. The present day way of living has made it necessary for every family to use a thorough, laxative bowel medicine.

A COLOSSAL HARP. Varitan's Aeolian Giant Had Strings 320 Feet In Length. The largest harp ever made, so far as is known, was that Invented and constructed by M. Yeritan. provost of Burkli. near Basel. It was known as the gigantic meteorological aeollan harp. It was 320 feet in length and was erected in the garden- of its Inventor in 1787. This harp consisted of fifteen iron wires. 320 feet in length, stretched between two poles. The wires were from two to three inches apart, the largest being one-sixth of an inch in thickness and tbe smallest one-twelfth of an inch. They were placed in the direction of north and south and inclined In such a manner as to form an angle of from twenty to thirty degrees with the hori zon, being stretched by means of roll ers properly disposed for the purpose. Whenever the weather changed tbe wires sounded with such loudness that it was Impossible to go on with a con cert In the bouse. The sound sometimes represented the hissing noise of water in rapid ebullition, sometimes that of a harmonicon and sometimes that of distant chimes or an organ. Exchange. Paul Revere, Dentist. Was Paul Revere a dentist? The following advertisement published in the Boston Gazette and Country Journal of Revere's time is believed to prove that he was: "Whereas, many persons are so' unfortunate as to lose their Fore-teeth by Accident and otherways. to their great Detriment, not only in Looks, but speaking both in Public and Private: This is to inform all such that they may have them replaced with artificial ones, that looks as well as the Natural & answers the end of Speaking to all Intents, by Paul Revere, Goldsmith, near the head of Dr. Clarke's Wharf.

Honey Bread. In Europe, where the food value of honey seems to be much better understood than in the United States, enormous quantities are used. Of late years we seem to be waking to the realization of the value of honey as a wholesome and delicious article of food and also as to its preservative qualities. Cakes and sweetbreads made with sugar soon become dry and crumbly and to get the good of them must be eaten when fresh, but where they are made up with honey they seem to retain their moist fresh nesa indefinitely. In France honey bread a year or eighteen months old is preferred to that Jnat made. They say. "It baa ripened.

The Acrobatic Cyclists round at the Murry this week are worth seeing. One of them is a very pretty woman and they furnish, altogether, much amusement. There is a genuinely funny man in one of the acts but whether he is Adams, Hartleigh or Remy, cannot be told from the cryptogram. Anyway he's amusing, without working too hard at it as many of his vaudeville confreres give the ennuied impression of doing, and his two conspirators go him a good second. Their best ensemble effects are in their vocal numbers which are really done well. Two people introduce the bill with some interesting music music is al ways interesting if it isn't murdered on several instruments although the audience would like to hear more of the harp. Two down as "vaudeville's dainties" do o ne of those "cutey" affairs that now haunt the vaudeville boards. They might be worse and again they might be so much better you wouldn't recognize 'em. Then It may be that it is "awfully hard to be cute" as one of the attemptees said to the writer, not long since. The local performers Barlow, Snaveley and Turner will not appear until "Wednesday evening when they will go on and appear again Thursday and Friday nights. E. G. W.

SLEPT SIX WEEKS.

When the strange case of the Iowa woman who had slept constantly for 43 days was reported, many people who could not sleep at all wished that they might have a similar experience. You would be surprised to know how many people there are right around here who hardly ever get more than two or three hours sleep at night, owing to bad health, general weakness and worn-out condition. Miss Louisa Ludwig, Newark, N. J., who went through all this has written a letter saying: "Having felt weak, tired and badly rundown, with little appetite, and inability to sleep well, I began to take Vlnol which I had heard was the best remedy for that condition. It has done me great good by building. up my strength, improving my appetite and enabling me to sleep soundly." If you are worn out and weak and want new strength so you can eat well, sleep well, and be well, Vlnol. Jour delicious cod liver and Iron remedy is what you need, and we guarantee it to satisfy you.

COURT OF ST. JAMES. What Presentation te English Royal ty Mean Socially. There Is no need for jealousy and excitement about presentations at court. Any respectable American girl can be presented at the court of St. James If she have sufficient Influence with some lady who is even mildly persona grata at court. And when a girl or a matron has been presented then tbe matter ninety-nine cases out of a hundred comes to an abrupt end. The social cachet amounts to no more than this that the lord chamber lain has made an inquiry into your antecedents and found nothing In their history to cause comment. In tbe case of Americans the Inquiry cannot be anything but perfunctory. Some people imagine that a presentation at court is followed immediately by an Invitation to the next state dinner or the next state concert or the next state tea and muffins. Nothing ot the kind. You must attain or Inherit great social importance or be representative in some way before tbe kins and queeu ask you to dine with tbem.
