If you hnrl yourself at a man you cannot
wonder that he dodges. It Is as much a
part of a man as his nose to think that
what comes too easy Is not worth having.
And here Is another manly trait that a
girl like you needs to remember. Men
never really outgrow the disposition to
struggle, even fight, for what they want.
They Just change the method. of pugilism.
LJttle boys use fists and feeL Men use
more seductive means and methods. But
they never lose the taste for the struggle.
And you deliberately robbed a man of
the fun of struggling for you. You anni
hilated his fighting chance. You even killed
his fighting spirit. No wonder he never
came again. ' It was too easy. He must
have been attracted or toe would never
have asked to call. But you lost your
charm by cheapening It. Possibly you gave
him the Impression of. a lack of faith In
your own fascinations. And be may have
concluded that you had tried the same
scheme on other men because you had not
the power to draw them.
Do you like to be taken for granted? Do
in Holland
per, also tend to offset these two bugbears
of the household. .
The Hollanders have very simple tastes
In their foods. The housewife does not
go to market. The market conies to her.
The vegetable dealer with his cart (often
drawn by dogs) comes to the door. He
sells, not according to measure or weight,
but according to the number of persons
to bo fed. Milk Is also brought In little
carts to the house and fish is sold alive
and killed and cleaned at the door.
The Dutch are a simple and homely
people. It is said the men are slow to
pursue outside Interests because they are
made so comfortable at home. Their
whole life centers there. Prosperity Is dis
played more in luxury of comfort than in
ostentation, and this Is witnessed in the
homes after dinner In. tha evening, when
the family alt drinking tea. The service
will be of very old and beautiful silver and
the tea ot exceedingly good quality. This
Is the wife's hour. She brews and passes
the tea while the others read, work or
talk, and In this delightful atmosphere
her word ot suggestion, criticism or ad
vice generally make her desires her hus

Pygmies Hide Women and Children
Walter -Goodfcllow, the leader of the
British expedition to the snow range of
Dutch New Guinea, has returned home
owing to ill health. . When he left for
home he was paralyzed . from the waist
downward as a result'' of herl-berl and

Having described the ' njiartrendljTg con
ditions under which the work of the ex
plorers la carried on, Uoodfellow referred
to the pygmies.
"We found the pygmies,' he said, "to the
west of the Mimlka, which was rather off
our track. Letters received since I left
show that further traces of their dwellings
have been found. Mr. Orant stayed In one
of their villages, but they all left, as they
did not like his staying there. Small
parties of these little people used to visit
our camp, but we have never seen a
woman or a child. They are all hidden
away, and even offers of presents were
useless to persuade them to produce one
of the women.
"They are a scattered and probably not
numerous people. The men average only
four feet six inches in height the tallest
was only four feet eight and one-half
Inches but they are beautifully developed.
All have bushy beards. Their weapons are
quite different from those of the lowland
tribes. They live by hunting, but they
also cultivate the ground, and we found

Goodfellow, gave an account of a mar
riage festivity of one of the tribes which
he witnessed at a village opposite the
camp. The ceremonies lasted two days,
but the bride only arrived on the second
day, when, she .was brought up the river
by her own village people in gayly deco
rated canoes,. and was landed alone except
for one little girl. The moment she was
disembarked the canoes and their occu
pants departed, leaving the bride, wtu

covering, to crawl on hands and knees to
her husband's house, some hundreds of
yards distance. No men except the hus
band, who was awaiting the bride in his
hut, were present, but all around were
groups of silent women who watched the
new arrival's painful progress on hands
and knees. Previously the husband's peo
ple had paid over stone clubs and other
articles as the purchase price of his wife.

Railroading for Employes.)
(Continued from Yesterday.)
As a result of the success of the "Rocket"
in the Rainhlll trial, rapid development of
locomotives began, and on October 4, 1K30,
Stephenson's locomotive, "Planet," wss
placed In operation on the Liverpool &
Manchester railroad. This locomotive took
the first load of merchandise from Liver
pool to Manchester, carrying eighteen
wagon loads of cotton, 200 barrels of flour,
sixty-three sacks of oatmeal, and thirty
four tacks of malt eighty-four tons in all
covering the distance In two hours and
thirty-nine minutes. -The "Planet" was the
prototype of the modern English locomo
tive; In It the locomotive engine assumed
a definite and permanent form.
The "Stourbridge Lion" opens the story
of steam engine use on Ameslcan railways.
Horatio Allen, tha chief engineer of the
Delaware & Hudson Canal company, was
sent to Englsnd tor such a machine. He
brought the "Lion" back as a trophy of
that trip. It made its first trip out of
Honesdale on August I, 185), with Indif
ferent results, but was remodeled later
on and made serviceable.
On August 28, 1830, the first steam loco
motive built In America left Baltimore on
its trial trip over the Baltimore Ohio
railroad. This engine, which was built by
Peter Cooper and named, the "Tom
Thumb." had a vertical boiler with flues
made of gun-barrels. The boiler was
mounted on a frame on four wheels; there
was one vertical cylinder connected te the
drivers by gearing. A fan was used to
produce the draught. The "Tom Thumb"
weight a little less than a ton and the
engine developed only one horse .power.
Nevertheless, it drew four and one-half
tons over the curves and grades of ths
road at a speed of over twelve miles an
hour, making the first trip from Balttmors
Oliver Evans, an American Inventor,
made the first high preiaure stvam en
gine and the first steam dredging machine
used in America. To move this dredge from
iiia shop to the Schuylkill river, one and
one-half miles distant, he mounted the
dredge on wheels, connected them to the
ileum machinery, and thus propelled the
dredge by steam to the launching place.
This was In 1MM, and was the first vehicle
propelled by steam on land In America;
and moreover, the flr.t practical propulsion
by steam In the world.

to Ellicott Mills without a break in an
hour and a quarter, and the return trip in
fifty-seven minutes.
At the same time another locomotive,
called the "Best Friend," was built at the
West Point foundry for the Charleston &
Hamburg railroad.
On AuguHt 9 of the following year the
"DeWilt Clinton" was put in service on
the Mohawk & Hudson railroad. This lo
comotive wan built by the West Point
foundry. The DeWItt Clinton weighed
less than 7,0o0 pounds and was said to
have been the first horixontal boiler ever
used in America.
In 1U1 the "John Bull," an English lo
comotive, was Imported for use on the
Camden & Amboy railroad. This wss the
first engine to draw a regular passenger
train In tha world.
A number ot different engines were
brought put' during 1M1 and 1832, the most
Important of which was "Old Irqnuldes,"
Matblas Baldwin's first locomotive. This
engine was built for the Philadelphia, Ger
mantown Morristown railroad.
From this time on, locomotive develop
ment was rapid, and a great number of
engines of different types were brought
out. In 1832, John B. Jarvls designed the
leading and guiding truck for better dis
tribution of weight, and extension of wheel
base. In 1S12, the first locomotive with
link motion appeared. James Brooks and
Henry Campbell of Philadelphia worked
out the plan of four connected drivers,
their first engine of this type appearing
in 1&36. In 1837, Joseph H. Harrison de
signed equalizers to overcoms the varying
elevations in track.
The "Sandusky" was the first Rogere'
locomotive and the first locomotive west
of the Ohio river. It was built In 183.
The first locomotive west of Chicago was
the "Pioneer," of the Chicago North
western line, built In 1848.
