SHOULD COOL OFF GRADUALLY

Mistake to Turn the Hose on Perspiring Teem, to the Assertion of Veterinarian. "In this hot weather there are always a number of fools who think they are kind to their horses when they turn a hose on themand drench them with cold water to thoroughly Cool them off,” said a veterinarian as he stopped a driver from throwing water over his perspiring team. “If the horse is overheated,” he continued, “the shock of such a bath on the region where the kidneys are situated to enough to kill It, and even if it does no apparent harm the horse will succumb much more readily to the heat afterward. After a horse has been working In the broiling sun it should be cooled off as gradually as possible. The first thing to do to to take a sponge and wash out its mouth. This removes the saliva, which is poisonous, and refreshes the animal greatly, before it can be allowed to have a drink. After this the horse should have Its four legs bathed —the hind ones as far as its haunches, the front ones up to the chest Then it Is safe to wet its head, neck and the part of its back. Immediately behind the neck. Care should be taken, however, to keep the region of the kidneys perfectly dry. This habit of driving a team up before a fire engine house and playing a hose indiscriminately over their bodies is accountable for the death of many good horses every summer.”

Sad Part of the Allegation.

"Every darn’ fool in this town thinks he could run a newspaper better than I can!” grumbled the editor of the Torpidvllle Tocsin and Guardian of the Hearthstone, the price whereof was a dollar a year and the time to subscribe now. “Ey-yah!" replied Mortimer Morose. "And the worst of it is, a good many of ’em could!” —Kansas City Star.

From a Sinner’s Diary.

A sinner can’t lose. Some of his ships are always coming in. I know a man who would spare no pains or expense doctoring an enlarged or otherwise out-of-tune liver. Yet he treats aching, aspiring, longing, loving hearts with scowls and sneers and sharp discouragements. I know a woman who is for letting you have what you want when you want it, who favors vacatiohs before you have to go on a stretcher. Love —something that makes you want to surround and be surrounded by. There’s never a time when ’tto safe for a doctor to eat onions. So take your pick—die off and be mourned, or live on and be cursed. — Lynette Fremlre in Judge.

ARCHITECTURAL SKILL SHOWN HERE

One of the greatest pieces of engineering of modern times is slowly nearing completion in New York city. It is a giant steel arch bridge, with approaches and several miles of connecting raised track which will make possible the running of through trains from Boston and New England through New York city to the South and West without the necessity of ferrying as is now the case. The giant span is being erected over Hell Gate, and when completed will be the heaviest and longest single-span steel arch bridge in the world. Only five bridges will be longer, and they are not arch bridges. Eighty thousand tons of steel will go into the arch, which will be I,o'oo feet long between abutments. Four tracks will run over it, and each foot will be capable of supporting 8,000 pounds more than either the Manhattan or Queensboro

PRESERVATION OF TIES

INDUSTRY 18 CONSTANTLY ADVANCING IN IMPORTANCE. Railroads W e . Recognized the Importance of the Work, and Every Kind of Encouragement Is to Be Given to It. Statistics show that wood preserving is one of the most rapidly advancing industries in the country. In 1895 there were 15 plants in the United States; in 1914 there were 122 plants of all kinds, 100 being of the pressure-cylinder type. Ninety-four of these plants last year used more than 79,000,000 gallons of creosote oil, more than 27,000,000 pounds of dry zinc chloride and nearly 2,500,000 gallons of other preservatives, such as coal tar and crude oil, treating a total of nearly 160,000,000 cubic feet of timber, an increase of about 7,000,000 cubic feet over 1913 and of 35,000,000 cubic feet over 1912. The most important consumers are the large plants in which railroad ties are treated. The preservatives materially lengthen the ties’ period of service, lessen the labor cost involved by renewal and decrease the drain upon the forests due to tie-cutting. To some extent the treatment of fence posts and other forms of farm timber is being taken up, an inexpensive apparatus and method having been devised by the department of agriculture; but as yet the use of wood preservatives by farmers is on too small a scale to have any importance, in the total, while the practice of treating telephone poles Is in its incipiency in* this country.. “With the rapid advance of this industry as a whole,” says the report, “the choice of preservatives has been fairly well established, but the kinds and classes of materials to be treated need development along certain lines. In Germany and other European countries practically all cross-ties laid by the railroads are treated with chemicals or preserving oils. In this country but 30 per cent of the ties purchased by the railroads are subjected to such treatment. The number of poles treated in this country is a very •mall per cent of the total in use.”

Quaker Japanese Minister.

A unique feature of the meeting of Quakers was the approbation given to the “recording” as a minister of the Gospel of Bunji Kida, a well-known Japanese mission worker in the Church. This action is analogous to "ordination” in other denominations. Bunji Kida to the first Japanese in America to be permitted to use “Rev.” before hto name in the Quaker church, and he to the only Quaker Japanese minister in America. He has been prominent in Friends, mission work among his own people under the auspices of California Friends for some years.— Exchange. ♦

bridges, and 21,000 more than the famous Firth of Forth bridge in Scotland. Some of the pieces 6f steel weigh 200 tons apiece, as much as the ordinary 200-foot railway bridge weighs when complete. When completed, the bridge with its approaches will cost close to $30,000,000. It was designed and is being constructed under the supervision of Gustav Llndenthal, former bridge commissioner of New York city under Mayor Low. The drawing also shows part of huge arch under construction. There are 30,000 tons of steel in the portion beyond the abutment. From the ground to the superstructure above the abutment is a distance of 275 feet It will have to be built 15 feet higher before the work is completed.

ROSE FROM LOW POSITIONS

Heads of Great Railroads Who Have Made Their Way From Comparative Obscurity. Only three of the twenty men who are at the head of the great railroad systems of America today held those positions ten years ago. There was a time when ■ the list of railroad chiefs was a catalogue of "Goulds, Huntingtons, Harrimans, Vanderbilts and millionaires generally. Now, with the exception of Stotesbury of the Reading, who is a banker, and L. W. Hill of the Great Northern, who is a son of J. J. Hill, nearly every man has worked his way up from a lowly position. Ripley, the giant who pilots the Atchison, began obscurely as a clerk. Underwood, who is evolving the Erie from a joke to a railroad, was a brakeman. Willard of the Baltimore & Ohio, chosen representative of the eastern group of railroads when difficult missions have to be undertaken, a firemans Elliott, savior of the New Haven, was a rodman. Majkham of the Illinois Central began as a section laborer. Bush, who is slaving night and day to put Missouri Pacific on its feet, did not have to work quite so hard/When he received his railroad baptism as a rodman. . Rea oPthe Pennsylvania is a product of the engineering department. Earling, president of the St. Paul, was a telegraph operator. Smith of the New. York Central, Hannaford of the Northern Pacific, Mohler of the Union Pacific, Sproule of the Southern Pacific, Gardner of the Northwestern, Thomas of the Lehigh Valley, Mudge of the Rock Island, etc., have forged their way up from the low* est rungs to the ladder.

Increasing Safety on Railroads.

On the railroads in the United States the number of passengers killed in 1914 was 223, of whom only 71 were killed in train accidents—a smaller number than in any years since 1998. The number of railroad employees killed, 2,892, in the year, showed a similar decrease, it having been more than 3,00 b for each of the four preceding years. The number of trespassers killed —that is, of persons walking on the railroad tracks and bridges or stealing rides —was 5,471, as compared with 5,558 for 1913. Of this class the number of fatalities has increased at a pretty constant rate for the last 25 years. In other words, the railroad companies having control of their trains endeavor to reduce deaths from accidents by improving the roads and the train equipment and by the observance of caution. They are succeeding in reducing the number of accidents to persons traveling on their trains. The railroad companies cannot prevent trespassing on their rights of way. The habit of trespassing does not decrease, and so the deaths of trespassers do not decrease. —Columbia (S. C.) State. \

Globe Trotting.

The best time made so far by ths “globe trotter” goes to the credit of John Henry Mears, who, in 1913, went around the world in 35 days 21 hours and 4 seconds. The next best time was made by Jaeger-Schmidt in 1911— 39, 19, 42.

His Excuse.

In his Savannah camp Bill Donovan, baseball manager, had a dusky hued waiter at the hotel by the name of Sutton. Bill had to reproach Sutton more than once for a lack of agility in arriving with the food. Sutton promised to improve. One morning ho brought in a consignment of griddlecakes that had gone cold. “What do you mean,” said Bill, "by bringing me in cold cakes?" "Well, I tell you, boss.” said Sutton, "I brung them cakes in so fast for you that I guess they hit a draft.”

WAVES HIGH UP IN RANK

Sufferer From Effects of High Seal Was Designating Them as Ho Watched Their Approach. A New York man was crossing the Atlantic with an army officer who suffered greatly from seasickness. On entering the stateroom one particularly rough day he found the officer tossing in his berth, muttering i* what at first appeared to be a sort of delirium. Stooping over to catch his words* the friend heard him say: : “Sergeant . . . major . . . sergeant . . . major . . . brigadier general, . ugh, lieutenant general . . . a-a-a-h!” “What are you saying?" asked tho friend In some alarm, as the sufferer looked piteously up at him after hl* last gasping “a-a-ah!” "Assigning the waves their rank," said the military man, rolling toward the wall again. “There have been eight lieutenant generals within tho last twenty minutes.” > ' , < ■ IJt
