FORTUNES IN. LOST REMEDIES.

Morocco is the only known perfect antidote to .nicotine. Some of phe. f-joqDi tribes are the heaviest smokers in the world. They smoke roughly made black cigars that would kill an ordinary' man. They. would hurt these savages, too, U they d'd not chew the leaves of the korocco plant. Of course, you know that a drop of nicotine put on the tongue of a cat will instantly take every one of its nine lives. If the nicotine is mixed with korocco it is harmless., „ ' _ “Fifteen or twenty years ago a company was formed to exploit korocco as an aati-rnioQtlne. For some reason the ppoject was not g success, aJ.7 though the tablet was as efficacious as the' ffieagro advertisements 'claimed it was. But that was before the day of big advertising.

What wouldn’t the confirmed smoker give tp, be able to putt away at a good stout weed' to hip heart’s content and then take a korocco tablet and obliterate every evu effect? Korocco will do all of this and, some day some enterprising man is going to climb Into the multl-mli-llonaire class by Its aid. “Speaking abofit lost remedies,” continued the dtuggist, “reminds me at a cure for rheumatism compounded by a bright young pharmacist named Zimmer about twenty years ago.

Curiosities or Railroading.

The... driving wheel pf an. engine traveling sixty mi as an hour 280, revolutions a and' often has behind it a train weighing 5i(H) tons.-* Yet the axle of the wheel upon which, this gigami.-c strain is placed cannot bp m»jde straight, true, like the axle of a carriage wheel. If must be, In the nature A things, a crank axle; and it may be Imagined by any cyclist how greatly the massive cranks add to the strain. The didculty of keeping an express up' to time is enormous. Given a perfect engine and a good driver, he must also b<> provided with the best of coal and a fireman who knows how to use it. On a run of, say, 500 miles, he will use at least 3,000 gallons of water. If he carelessly usee more he will exhaust his supply. Wind has to be allowed for, and wet lines always mean delay. There are two or three hundred signal men to be p~esed; each of them has his share in the punctuality .of the traip- Ope, careless platelayer among nearly 1,100 who look after th line between Eng.-nd’s and Scot land’s capital may delay the train by bis failu.-'e to sci vw up a fish boltThe wbo.e train msy be brought to { g standstill by a greaser having allowed a pinch rs dirt to ;et into one of the many gr ase boxe». As may be imagined, o lly the most rigid discipline can run a fifty pal l 6 .an hour train on time. Hie taunt is often hurled at British railways that they are expensive.
