MAY TOUCH HERE New Steam Railway to Indianapolis. Toledo Capitalists Backing the New Line Sav They Will Cut Fort Wayne Out. For several weeks there has been considerable talk concerning a now station railway from Toledo to Indianapolis. Fort Wayne and Huntington papers have announced that the line would pass through those cities but this from the To 'ledo Blade says otherwise: Had the Hoosier correspondent consulted a railroad map of this state he would have discovered however, that the route suggested is about as far from being an air line as several explorers have been from discovering the north pole. When shown a copy of the dispatch this morning, T. H. Tracy, one of the incorporators of the line through Ohio, said it would propably go via Muncie, which would make it as near an air line as could possibly be planned. “The line will not Ibe built via Fort Wayne, as that ; would he much longer than the Muncie route.” said Mr. Tracy. "The company will be incorporated iin Indiana this week. ” It is quite I probable that the road will touch this city now as this is the most ; direct route from Van Wert and would give us a direct line to the i capita] city. A party of surveyors I from Toledo under the direction of Chief Enigneer S. D. Williams, Jr., i will start out the later part of tlje week, and the right of way agents will follow the surveyors as fast as the route is agreed u]>on. Construction will liegin as soon as the frost is out of the ground in the spring. " A BIG TIME.

. THE JUNGLE BEAUTY SHE PLUCKS HER WARDROBE FROM THE TREES AND VINES. lace Itnrk Is the Fucorlte Hull lino Fabric of the Senileivillr.e<l Belle of | the Wegt IndlcH — l.ivinK J.-tu-h That Outshine the Dinmontl, Down in the tropical jungles of Central America and the West Indies the head of the family is not worried by milliners' ami dressmakers' bills, 'file semicivilized beta- of these lands knows how to get nearly the whole of her costume Hom the jungle. She manufaeI Hires it herself from the materials she gathers from nature. Though she may be able in rare eases to get from the one shop ten or fifteen miles away a few yards of cloth with which to make her dress, any trimming she nmy wish to put upon it must be searched for in the woods. Lace bark is her favorite material for making anything light and dainty. This lace bark is tile film which covers 1 the heart of the lace bark tree. The natives carefully remove it and soak , it in running water for three or four . days in order to get off the gum and unnecessary fiber. After that it is bleached on the sands by the river and . sprinkled now and then to whiten it. When it has become a creamy white It is pressed with a hot iron or a heated stone and is ready for use. D lias a fine lacy appearance and into ‘ more artistic patterns than any manti factured article. When made into a dress it is wonderfully beautiful. The jungle girl uses it sparingly on her ordinary clothes, but for her bull dress flounce after flounce is used to give a Huffy look io the skirts. She . knows that it liecomes her as nothing else would. Her jewelry consists of beautifully colored seeds strung together iu the form of necklaces, bracelets and tiaras. In addition to these, on the night of the ball she eateries the brilliant tireflies which swarm in the jungle and artistically arranges them in her dusky locks. The jungle girl would not exchange her "peenie wallahs, - ’ as she calls the fireflies, for the diamonds of the northern belle. The jungle girl's hats are a marvel to behold. She weaves them herself from tiie jippi jappa grass, and can get any shape or style she fancies. She trims them with the nettj liber of the cocoa nut palm and tho gorgeous wings of the mountain parrak<*et, wliieb is shot and brought home by h< r father and brother. Even her parasol and umbrella are supplied by kindly nature. When the -un is t< > hot or the rain too heavy a big plaintain or banana leaf does as well rs anything bought in tiie largest stores of an American city. A creole belle is a- fond of perfume as the daintiest 'Nun-ricau woman and is just ns particular that it shall lie of lhe best kind. She goes to much more trouble to procure it, but then she ki. . s that it is always pure and fresh. She first picks her fresh flowers. and then, by some process handed down from one generation to another, site distills it. t The secret method is often known to only a few families, and they would not give it away for any sum of money.

I’lie lucky holders of the secret are of course envied by all who know them. Although others may receive presents of the much valued scent from those in the secret, they cannot make it themselves and therefore cannot afford to be as lavish witli it as they wish. The tropical girl’s soap is procured on the way to the bath. As she walks down to the river to bathe she stops here and there to gather soap lierries mid cuts a piece of stick called ’'chewstick," which she uses as a toothbrush. She chews the end of it until it becomes quite soft aud froth gather* at the end. She then rubs her teeth Well with it. Thin is the best toothbrush on earth, as it not only prevents the teeth from decaying, but keeps them tieautlfully white and clean. People in other <-onntries. knowing ttic value of this chewstick alswe all others as a dentifrice, have it povden d and ex|«irt<'d to them. In many parts of South America the ' natives cannot buy cloth to make their I clothes, So they have to spin it them- | solves out of coeoanut fiber, river j weeds mid Inunboo fllicr. The cloth i woven from the bamboo tilier is very soft and silky. I alike the West Indians, the South American liclle wears shoes of a kind These are made of a coarse woven material like sailcloth, which is attached to soles of rawhide. They are the most comfortable shoes itmiglnable and are used by Hie soldiers of South America when on the mareh. Tiny are tailed "nlpngattas." and Americans who have traveled in South America invariably bring them home to their wives and daughters for bath slippers Those Who are lucky enough to have a pair would not exchange them for nuy other slipiH’t'M, however costly. No other footgear equals the “nlpngiitta" for comfort and durability. -Washington Slur. or Course. "All the defendants they've brought before its ao fur." said the first jury nitin in Hie criminal court, "uppear to be so thin and miserable." “Yes," replied the other, "miturnlly they hate a pim lied look."
