A smoking table made'of lacquered brass stands on a high standard which brings the table just about the level of the arm of a chair.

Button- hole a diagonal row of green scallop- ping from the neck to the bottom of the skirt and place from six to twelve white crochet buttons, the number de­ pending upon the size, along the row of scalloping on the waist and con­ tinuing on down below the waist line for some distance on the skirt. Each white crochet button should have in its center a large green French knot. The lay-down collar and turn-back cuffs of the dress 'are scalloped in green, and in the curve of each of the collar and cuff scallops is nestled a group of three green French knots. One large knot may be used if pre­ ferred. A spray of green leaves worked solidly on the front of Ihe waist, or a soft green Bilk tie slipped under the collar and knotted in front, carries out the color scheme. Wear with the dress a crush green silk girdle with the popular ends at the side back or a green suede leather belt.

French women have abandoned their purple powder which was spe­ cially manufactured for electric light make-up. Nor are they as keen about tne saffron powder that made them look as if they had just returned from long holidays and were nicely tanned.

Wash ties should be basted a short distance from the edge, then washed carefully and ironed* under a cloth. The basting prevents the lining from wrinkling. Fine silk ties should be cleaned with gasoline. Place in the air to dry, and then on a warm radiator to entirely get rid of the odor.

'ts&rtttilr in PfttsKli!^, l&ltSSS,. crawled under a string of cars to fix the draw-gear of a number of them. It is a rule of every comoany--dic­ tated by common sense--that the car repairer must put out a blue flag on the car on which he Is working. If he does not he is apt to be Killed under the wheels of his car when a switch engine bumps into tt, as It Is likely to do any moment The "car- tink" at Pittsburg failed to put up a blue flag and had both legs cut off in less than ten minutes after he went under the car. A Frisco conductor gave bis head brakeman a switch list. One car was kicked onto a passenger track and the brakeman In question threw the switch for the adjoining track and turned the "derail." The car was cut off and the "go ahead" signal was given, The next car was to he kick­ ed back down the main line to the caboose. The brakeman walked along opposite the space between the last two cars as the engine and eleven cars moved out of the siding. While the train was moving at the rate of about four miles an he stei^ ped in between the last two cars and gave the "go ahead" signal with MB left hand to the fireman. As the fire­ man looked back he saw the brake- man fall out from between the car|. An emergency stop was made and the crew ran back to find that both Ills legs had been cut off above the knee. He died within an hour. He had gone between the cars to close an angle cock, so that when the cars were kicked down the main line they would not stop when the air hose connec­ tion was broken. As he stepped be­ tween the moving cars he tumbled over the "derailer" that he himself had turned only a moment before. Being given the switch list shows that he was considered a capable man, but he was probably In a hurry and took a chance, and practically committed suicide. , At Newbux& Mo., a brakeman was killed in much the same way. He thoughtlessly walked between two cars to adjust the couplers at the ex­ act moment the engineer decided to back up half a car length.

The Isle of Man, although a small and somewhat out-of-the-way Island in the Irish sea, posseses a very well equipped and interesting electric rail­ way. The railway connects the cap­ ital, Douglas, with the several small cities on the island and In doing this crosses over the rugged interior. A trip over this electric railway line furnishes the traveler with some of the most spectacular scenery in the world; while the mountains are not high, the cliffs and gorges are In places almost appalling; many diffi­ cult engineering problems had to be solved in building this railroad. The illustration shows a bridge with a car on it, the photograph be­ ing taken from a point on the east coast of the island.--Popular Electri­ city. 56,000,000 Tons of Ralls. According to a writer In the Engi­ neering and Mining Journal there is a total of 56,000,000 tons of steel rails at present in use in this country. Of this between 500,000 and 600,000 tons are taken up every year and re-rolled into lighter rails. The capacity of the re-rolling mills of the country is about 150,000 tons per year. About 2,000.000 tons of steel scrap are used every year in steel manufacture, this scrap taking the place of about 4.000,- 000 tons of iron ore, which would be consumed were scrap not used in steel-making. Scrap 1b selling at pres­ ent for |12 per ton. compared with $27 per ton for steel billets. The price of steel scrap and that of pig iron follow each other closely. Supplies Needed by Railroad.

SAFETY DEVICES IN DEMAND As a Matter of Business, Railroads of the Country 8eek Perfection In Equipment. At Altoona, Pa., is a plant installed at the shops of the Pennsylvania rail­ road for the purpose of heat-treating stent for use in locomotives so that tt may be of the highest quality. The ateel is put through a slow perfecting process to give it a more enduring quality and make it capable of stand­ ing a greater strain. "It is a costly process, but worth all it coBts," says the Pittsburgh Oaxette-Times. "More and more it is coming to be the pol­ icy of all transportation lines to work and strive for safety. Partly by strengthening and perfecting equip­ ment and partly by strengthening and perfecting the human element in operation and management down to the smallest detail is safety gained partly also by giving attention to im­ provement of safety devices. " 'Safety first' is the motto of tho times with the railroads. In the first intention it is a humane policy, and in addition to that it 1B good business policy. The railroad that has the few­ est accidents will make the most money, other things being equal, for accidents, wholly aside from their cost in human lives, are ecpensfve. De­ struction of life in railroad accidents is usually accompanied by destruction of property, for it is In the destruction of costly equipment that lives are sac­ rificed. Avoidance of destruction of equipment avoids the killing and maiming of passengers and employes. The modern care for excellence and the striving toward perfection in all the working parts of a great transpor­ tation utility are good for the general public and for the shareholders." United States Handicapped. Railroad development in the older countries of Europe has been along lines decidedly different from those in the United States, and distinct types of rolling stock have conse­ quently been evolved. American loco­ motives have been tried in a few of these countries, but it is claimed that they have not proved satisfactory. In countries where railroads are a more recent development the capital has to a large extent been furnished by a few of the more important European coun­ tries, with the natural result that or­ ders for equipment are given to the countries furnishing the capital. Where the roads are owned by the government, the home manufacturers ore invariably favored in buying equip­ ment. Railroad Earnings. During May. the railways of the United States received for their serv­ ices to the public an average of $8.- 230,000 a day; It cost to run their trains and for other expenses of opera­ tion $5,920,000 a day; their taxes were $341,500 a day ; their operating Income $1,972,322 a day for the 220,897 miles of line reporting, or at the rate of $8.93 for each mile of line for each day. Thus for every six dollars of their earnings which remained avail­ able for rentals, Interest on bonds, ap­ propriations for betterments, improve­ ments and new construction, and for dividends, the railways had to pay more than one dollar in taxes. Does Away With Fire Dinger. A novel use of compressed air is made by railway companies In the southern states of America, reports London Tit-Bits. When the loads of cotton are being taken to the coast there is always danger of their be­ coming damaged through spanks from the locomotives. To prevent this, the locomotive boilers are filled with com­ pressed air. A trainload of several thousand bales of cotton can be haul­ ed by these locomotives at a rate of 12 miles an hour, although no fire i* used in working thus.. Physicians Recommend Castoria V^V&STOBIA has met with pronounoed feyor on the port of physicians, phannir ̂centical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. Ihe extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the •result of three facts: ffof--The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second--That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi­ lates the foods las*--It la an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor OiL' It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other na^ootio and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how­ ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system--not by stupefying it--and our readers are entitled to the iiiformatlon/ -'i7a^ 's Journal of Health, Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas.

Familarity with danger sometimes breeds contempt for it It Is a curi­ ous fact that employes who are en­ gaged in work that involves peril of Are or explosion have to be restrained by strict regulations for their own, good. But fire and explosion are not the only hazard. 8ome of the insti­ tutions that seem farthest removed from danger are really places of con­ siderable hazard.

GROWING 8TRONGER Apparently, with Advancing' Age. "At the age of 60 years I collapsed from excessive coffee drinking," writes a man in Mo. "For four years I sham­ bled about with the aid of crutches or cane, most of the time unable to dress myself without help. "My feet were greatly swollen, my right arm was shrunken and twisted Inward, the fingers of my right hand were clenched and could not be ex­ tended except with great effort and pain. Nothing seemed to give me more than temporary relief. "Now, during all this time and for about 30 years previously, I drank dally an average of 6 cups of strong coffee--rarely missing a meal. "My wife at last took jny case into her own hands and bought some Postum. She made it according to di­ rections and I liked it fully as well as the best high-grade coffee. "Improvement set in at once. In about 6 months I began to work a lit­ tle, and in less than a year I was very much better, improving rapidly from day to day. I am now in far better health than most men of my years and apparently growing stronger with advancing age.

On retiring, comb the hair out straight all around, then begin at the side and make a parting, gently rubbing Cutlcura Oint­ ment into the parting with a bit of soft flannel held over the end of the finger. Anoint additional partings about half an inch apart until the whole scalp has been treated, the pur­ pose being to get the Cutlcura Ointp ment on the scalp skin rather than on the hair. It is well to place a light covering over the hair to protect the pillow from possible stain. The next morning, shampoo with Cutlcura Soap and hot water. Shampoos alone may be used as often as agreeable, but once or twice a month is generally sufficient for this special treatment for women's hair. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.
