. » It is uji to the police to make safe blowing unsafe. If New York can’t find a new sensation it stirs up an old one. Eggs are 3 cents per dozen in China, and no. china eggs at that. Why; not expand the anti-noise crusade so as to include the checkerboard 6uit? At the same time, don’t wait for your neighbor to swat the flies. Get busy yourself. A New York woman lost $440 which she carried in her stocking. How, is not explained. ' No sooner are we through with the coal man than the ice man becomes our daily horror. A new street dress for women has side pockets in the skirt which can be found by a man. Milwaukee paper headline says a horse was bitten on the north side by a bulldog. Figure It out. A Welsh rarebit was employed to put out a fire, being impressed into service as a flail, perhaps. Experts tell us how to achieve a ripe old age, when what one wants is to retain one’s verdant youth. Not from an artist’s brush, but woman’s hat, do we get the full force of spring’s“ variegated beauty. In Paris a hotel is to be opened without servants. One excellent way in which to get rid of tipping.

It is said that Cleopatra danced the tango and the turkey trot Now let’s see, what became of Cleopatra? Chances for the small boy to become president some day are far better in Mexico than in Uncle Sam’s domain. Some women have taken to wearing watches on their ankles while others are merely retaining their common sense. A Boston man writes: "If I had a million dollars, I would go home and fri«n my wife.” Mis wife’s kisses must come high. The season approaches when many will leave comfortable homes and hie away to some mosquito infested watering place. / Still, It seems like taking an unfair advantage of a hard working microbe when a human being saturates himself with onions. You may think when you buy lamb chops you get the butcher's goat, but when his bill comes in you realize that he gets yours. The owner of a stubborn auto chopped it up and sold the junk. The same amount of energy might have moved the car. A Chicago barber gives a fresh egg with every shave. Now if that action is in lieu of conversation our approbation is manifest. That business man who was arrested and jailed for being too full, was dealt with in a natural-way; Hi* friend bailed him out. Western man who thought he saw snakes while on a spree and ran into a train and was seriously injured. Must have been rattled. The New York Sun says the only place where a person can live cheaply is Utopia. And it is not on the map. Eastern police who arrested cheese dealers for selling over' ripe product, claim to have strong evidence against those arrested. Strange! The price of artificial ice, it is announced, will go up next summer. It must be the artificial ponds were not on the Job during the winter. One statistician estimates that there are 10.000,000 tunes in existence, but the composers of modern musical comedies do not seem to know of more than two or three. Somebody remarks that the guitar may be a musical instrument hut it was never known to pay any dividends. Still, its notes of hand are usually accepted at full value. A soiled greenback is restored to Its original pristine glory by washing ahd Ironing at the cost of 1-10 cent. But the average man worries not at all whether his greenbacks be dirty. Fashion book says that women of America like tight gowns. Well, a tight gown does seem to be a little full when it encloses a fat woman. According to an insurance statistician, it costs $15,000 to kill a man. Oh. well, the poor have no show in this ■country. W» can't afford it! A Los Angeles Judge just granted a wife a divorce because her husband spanked her. Probably he should "have used a club and have been given a fine for assault and battery.

WORTH THINKING OVER

SUGGESTIONS MAY INTEREST RAILROAD MEN, AND OTHERS. Success or Failure In Life Always Rests Largely With One’s Self— World Is Always Calling for the Efficient Man.

A big railroad company with headquarters in Chicago in a recent circu-

paid four per cent, interest on that sum. It is about the cost of a modern locomotive. ~ " 3== But a man is different from a locomotive. He can’t pull as much, but he can push a lot more. He can last longer and run farther than the best locomotive ever built Most important of all, he can constantly increase the capitalization he represents and require more interest to be paid on it, while the locomotive can never be worth a cent more than it was when 1t left the shop. The circular referred to continues:

“It rests with you. Make your $25,000 valuation climb to $50,000, to SIOO,OOO, to $500,000. Select your food with care. Treat decently the body on which your mind depends for its strength and sanity. Above all, feed your mind. Read, study and observe. Like the engine, you can’t do your work unless you stay on the rails and keep where the bosß can find you. Remember that no call boy ever found an engine in a saloon or other place of the sort.” There is food for thought in these words, not only for railroad employes but for all other young men—and young women, too —whp are trying to get on in the world, make a success of their lives, and get the things, the place and the power they desire. We hear a great deal now and then —from failures, idlers or busybodies —about young men not having now the “chance” they once had. At bottom the statement is a falsehood. The world was never so hungry for really efficient men—for* men who s can and will grow up to greater tasks — for men resolute to increase the capijtalization they represent —as it is today! Every discovery of science, every triumph of invention, demands more and more capable men to operate the machinery of civilization thus newly provided. It rests with the man—with each man —to show that he has the capacity. And real power always gets paid.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

SAND WILL DO IT.

I observed a locomotive In the railroad yards one day. It was waiting in the roundhouse where the locomotives stay; It was panting for the journey, It was coaled and fully* manned, And It' had a box the fireman was filling full of sand. It appears that locomotives can not always get a grip On their slender iron pavement, ’cause tils' wheels are apt to slip; And when they reach a slippery spot their tactics they command. And to get a grip upon the rail they sprinkle It with sand. It’s about the way with travel along life’s slippery track. If your load is rather heavy you’re always slipping back; So, if a common locomotive you corn's. pletely understand, Yohtfl provide yourself- in starting with a good supply of sand. If your track is steep and hilly and you have a heavy grade. If those who’ve gone before you the rails quite slippery made, If you ever reach the summit of the uppar tableland. _~-U—. You’ll find you’ll have to do with a liberal use of sand. If you strike some frigid weather and discover, to your cost. That you’re liable to slip up on a heavy coat of frost. Then some prompt, decided action will be called into demand. And you’ll slip ’way to the bottom if you haven’t any sand. You can get to any station that is on life’s schedule seen If there’s fire beneath the boiler of ambition’s strong machine. And you’ll reach a place called Flushtown at a rate of speed that’s grand, If for all the slippery places you’ve a good supply of sand. —Chicago Tribune.

What the Railroads Do.

It seems very simple to see the passenger trains run in and out of the station; to order the freight car and send the grain to market; to telegraph to the nearest large town for supplies, and in 24 to 48 hours have them delivered. But it is not so easy ansl simple as it seems, and there is danger today that the next great uplift in business in the United States will find the railroads, as a whole, sorely taxed to furnish the transportation needed for the commerce of the country. Why? Because a misdirected public opinion is demanding rates too low, taxes too high, wages too high, service too elaborate, and there was not cents enough to the dollar to meet all these obligations and still permit the business to be attractive enough so the man with the dollar will invest it. Our American railroads have done good work, and can do better, and it 1s to the farmers’ selfish Interest to see that they are so treated that they will be ready at all times v to handle business. To be ready requires constant expenditure.—Leslie’s.

WATCH THE WHEELS CLOSELY

Experts Declare Defective * Flanges to Be Frequent Cause of y: Railroad Accidents. The railroad commission has issued a circular to motive power foremen on the Canadian railroads urging the importance of a renewal of locomotive wheels before the flanges are badly worn. Inspectors in the service of the commission report that many locomotives on passenger trains have sharp flanges, in some cases the flanges being worn down below the master car builders’ standard allowance gauge. Some of these locomotives are running on fast passenger trains, thus inviting much unnecessary risk to the safety of hundreds of passengers. s The wearing down of flanges on locomotives is only one minor contributor to the long chapter’ of railway accidents. Derailments arise either from defective equipment, “bad track, or faulty switching. As a rule, when a locomotive jumps the track, the accident i 6 ascribed to some peculiar defect in the track, rather than to insufficient flanging on the locomotive. It is undeniable that many supposed rail defects are in reality the outcome of defective driving wheel tires. The Railway Age Gazette tells of 100 rails on an Illinois railroad being broken on one trip by a flattened driving wheel. The recently issued annual report of the interstate commerce commission shows that out of 8,216 derailments on American railroads during the year, 3,847 were due to defective equipment, an increase of 1,023. Bad ties, loose spikes, poor ballasting, insufficiently flanged wheels, rail breakages due to flattened wheels, all played a prominent part in causing these derailments. Fortunately derailments of locomotives caused by defects in their own mechanism or driving surfaces are comparatively rare. The warning of the railway commission is not uncalled for, however, for a worn locomotive flange might suddenly precipitate a great disaster.

ADDS TO STRENGTH OF RAILS

Invention of Frenchman Said to Over come Defect Which Has Long Been Recognized. Rails with exchangeable treads, consisting of a number of strips of very hard steel alloy sunk into their head, is a recent invention by a French engineer. The object, is , to make that part of the head which is

normally in contact with the wheels more wear-resisting, an end which cannot be attained by hardening the whole rail, for the shocks and stresses to which it is subjected make it imperative that it be of not too hard steel. The new rail is made in two forms; one, as shown by the sketch, for light traffic, having the hard-steel strips sunk into the head and held by setscrews; the other, for heavy traffic, consisting of three parts bolted together, the strips being “held between the two parts of the head. Another feature of this rail is that the hard strips may be so laid lit, that web plates, holding the ends of two lengths of rails together, become superfluous thus insuring. shockfree, smooth and noiseless running.—Popular Mechanics.

Campaign Against Strong Drink.

General managers of railroads throughout the United States are conducting a campaign against the use of intoxicating liquor in construction camps, and the results are said to have been satisfactory. A report disclosing the evil effects of liquor on men engaged in railway construction, prepared by Dr. C. Fisb- ( er, chief surgeon of MacArthur Brothers’ Construction company, recently has been given wide circulation among railroad officials. A statement issued by J. L. Campbell, engineer of maintenance of way of the El Paso & Southwestern railway, says: “The El Paso & Southwestern railroad can bear witness to the beneficial effect of the absence of liquor as a result of experience in extending its lines recently to Tucson, Ariz. The construction period lasted 12 months, and about 1,200 men were employed. Saloons were not found at any point along the line of work, a distance of 65 miles from Fairbank to Tucson. Not a man waß killled. “There were no serious injuries on account of the usq of explosives. The only fatality resulted from a fight at Fairbank, where a licensed saloon was conducted. It was a matter of frequent comment that the work progressed with an unusual degree( of orderliness. This result was obtained' through the co-operation ofr the county commissioners, who refused to grant licenses for the sale of liquor.”

BLAKAN WAR BEGAN IN 1663

Conflict of Races Started Long Ago, Seems Destined Now to Be Fought to a Fnish. ' Italian newspaper reminds us usefully that the Balkaff* war began centuries sago. In the state archives at Vienna is the declaration of war sent by Sultan Mehemet IV. to Emperor Leopold in 1682. “Be it known to you, the heir of the Caesars, to the king of Poland, and to your allies and omnipotent emperor of the east and west, . . . is on the point of invading your paltry territories. We shall bring 1,300,000 soldiers,.on horse and foot*, to crush you utterly and lay waste all your domains. We command you to await our coming in our residence In Vienna, where it is our intention to have jrou beheaded.” *. . But the war was even then an old story. The delightful writer who contributes “The Office Window” to the London Daily Chronicle tells us while searching through some of the earliest newspapers printed his eye was continually diverted, to news letters from the continent giving accounts of the unholy war which Turkey was waging on Hungary and Austria. Almost at random he copies the following from the Newes of Stetember 17, 1633, a grim reminder that the Turk has remained unchanged and unchangeable for these 250 years at least: “Vienna, Sept. 6. —ln Austria every Fifth Man is to bear Armes; and they hope to raise 20,000 Men upon that Levy to secure the *Frontiers. At this Inßtant comes fresh Intelligence of 10,000 Turks, and as many Tartars, passing the Waegh, and that they carry all before them with Fire and Sword.” And again: “We bear that upon the third instant the Enemy has beaten our Foot by the River Waegh, and Possess’d himself of the narrow Passages between the Hills, where he has burnt divers Towns and Villages, and Massacred many Thousands of People, striking off the heads of some, putting other in Chains . . . and cutting to pieces Young and Old without Distinction or Mercy."

Unsympathetic.

The following story is One of Johi) Drew’s favorites. A man lost his life in a great flood. He was dead, but in the spirit world he lived over and over again the appalling scenes , and incidents through which he had Just passed. It seemed to him that he must talk it over with some one ; He therefore approached an elderly man and told him the story of how he died, giving a vivid word picture and making a lurid tale. To his great surprise, the old man showed little interest; in fact, he appeared to be bored. At last, being rather annoyed at such indifference, he asked the reason. “Don’t you know who I am?” asked the other. i “Why, no, I don’t,” was the answer. “I’ve only just arrived.” “Well,” said the other, “I’m Noah.”

Generous Reformer.

Miss Augusta De Peyster is a charming young lady ,of Knickers bocker descent who does noble missionary work among New York's floating sailor population. Miss de Peyster's work is unique in that she believes in helping the sailor, no matter how prodigal or dissipated or nonconforming he may be. She also believes in a very generous, very liberal type of charity. Ofter her views are expressed in epigram, as: ”” “Don’t scold a reprobate, for men are like eggs—left in hot water they harden.” Or again: “As long as virtue is its own reward, it is apt to be spasmodic.”

HER “BEST FRIEND”

A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum. We "usually consider our best friends those who treat us best. Some persons think coffee a real friend, but watch it carefully awhile and observe that it is one of the meanest of all enemies, for it stabs one while professing friendship. Coffee contains a poisonous drug—• caffeine —which injures the delicate nervous system and frequently sets up disease in one or more organs of the body, if its use is persisted in. “I had heart palpitation and nervousness for four years and the doctor told me the trouble was caused by coffee. He advised me to leave it off, but I thought I could not,” writes a Wis. lady, . “On the advice of a friend I tried Postum and it so satisfied me I did not care for coffee after a few days’ trial of Postum. “As weeks went by and I continued to use Postum my weight increased from 98 to 118 pounds, and the heart trouble left me. I have ÜBed it a year now and am stronger than I ever was. I can hustle up stairs without any heart palpitation, and I am free from nervousness. “My children are very fond of Postr um and it agrees with them. My sister liked it when Bhe drank it at my house; now she has Postum at home and has become very fobd of it. You may use my name if you wish, as I am not ashamed of praising my best friend— Postum." Name given by Pustum Co, Battle Creek, Mich. Postum now comes in new concentrated form called Instant Postum. It Is regular Postum, jk> processed at the factory that only the soluble portions are retained. A spoonful of Instant Postum with hot water, and sugar and cream to taste, produce Instantly a delicious beverage.

With tense, eager faces, the great audience of women leaned forward in their seats, eagerly drinking In the noted speaker’s every word. “Mere man,” she was saying, "is wont to belittle woman’s ability to enter the fields already usurped by him. As a matter of fact, she is capable of filling any post of public or private office now held by him, and, if appointed to it, could even perform man’s tasks with greater faithfulness and greater daring. “Name, if you can, one post for which she cannot fit herself L Name one office to which she would not, could not, give the greatest measure of capability, the highest-degree of courage, the —” A mere man, who hadsllppedunnoticed into a back seat, rose at this point, and the light of sudden inspiration gleamed in his eye. “Rat catcher!” he shouted.
