▼ 102 MILES AN HOUR MILWAUKEE ENGINE ESTABLISHES A RECORD FOR FAST TRAVELING. Dlitinc* from Chlrago to tha Wlirontin City Covered In 87 Minute*—Beat Time Uitherto Made IVu One liuur and Tblrtjr-Two Minute*. If One of the Milwaukee's new mam moth engines has broken the record be tween Milwaukee and Chicago. On New Year’s eve the new compound Atlantic type engine, No. 921, made the eighty flve and two-tenths miles from Chicago to Milwaukee in eighty-seven minutes, or one hour and twenty-seven minutes. The previous record is said to have been one hour and thirty-two minutes and the fastest schedule of the Milwau kee calls for the run in one hour and forty-five minutes. During three and four-tenths miles of the distance be tween Caledonia and Lakewt>od the train maintained a speed of a trifle over 102 miles per hour. The distance between these two stations, three and four-tenths miles, was made in exact ly two minutes. Considering the fact that no prepara tion was made for the run, and con sidering Ihe conditions, the run is re markable. The train left Chicago at 10:15 p. m., twenty minutes late, the engine hauling six sixty-foot mail and express cars, and arrived at Milwaukee at 11:42, just two minutes late. The two terminals required slow time and there were slow downs for five railway crossings, one full stop at Western ave nue, but no stops for water. Edgebrook to Stowell, seventy-two miles, was covered in sixty-five min utes, or at the rate of sixty-six and one-half miles per hour. The distance from Wadsworth to Western Union Junction, nineteen miles, was made in sixteen minutes, or at the rate of sev enty-one and one-quarter miles per hour. Engine No. 921 has a loaded weight of 290,000 pounds; drivers, 84V4 inches in diameter; a tender capacity of 19,000 pounds of coal and 7,000 gal lons of water. The run by detail was as follows: Miles from Chicago.

Id a letter written from Prince Al bert, Saskatchewan, one of the dis tricts of western Canada, by Henry Laugblin to Dr. C. T. Field of Chase, Michigan, and which appeared In the Reed City (Michigan) Clarion, ap peared the following: “If any one should ask you how I like it up here, tell them I am perfect ly well satisfied; for me It is just the place. I have as good a piece of land ^ as ever laid outdoors. Wouldn't ex change it for the whole of Lake Coun ty, or at least the township of Chase. "Of course, I have not been here very long, but as much of the country as I have seen it cannot be beat any where. We had as good crops here last fall as I ever saw, and everything gets ripe in good shape. We had as good ripe potatoes as I ever ate in my life. There is no better place for stock on the continent than here. Horses and cattle will do as good run ning out all winter here as they do where they are fed all winter there. Have built me a residence and now all I want is a wife to keep house for me. I have some breaking already done on my place, but next summer I intend to have more done and then I will be ready for business. "We have had a very fine winter so far. It has not been much below zero, if any, excepting about a week in the middle of November. It has been quite cold the past day or two. We are in log shanties, and they are just muddled up on the outside, and noth ing has frozen on the inside as yet. There is no wind or rain. Just nice steady weather all the time.” Apply to any agent of the Canadian government. Women are in the moral world what flowers are in tne physical. THE CLASSES OF FREIGHT. No one has ever attempted to enu merate the various kinds of persons carried In passenger cars on a trans continental railway—such as how many men, women and children; how many Whites, Negroes, Indians and Chinese; how many natives and for eigners; or how many Democrats and Republicans. In the matter of freight, though, the various Items carried are frequently tabulated, throwing side lights of the products. Industries and wants of widely separated communities. The Santa Fe, for example, during the last flscal year carried 3,430,000 tons of agricultural products, 1,115,000 tons of animal products, 3,435,000 tons of min eral products, 885,000 tons of lumber, 1.225.000 tons of manufactured arti cles, 600,000 tons of merchandise and 425.000 tons of miscellaneous stuff. The most important Items are In order named: Bituminous coal, wheat, live stock, lumber, stone and sand, mer chandise, c(jrn, ores, fruits and vegeta bles, cement and brick, flour and cot ton. What la dug out of the ground equals what Is raised on top of it An imal products are nearly as Important as manufactured articles. The least Important item is tobacco. The ship ments of household goods exceed those of liquors. Agricultural implements are on a par with wagons and car riages. When you ship anything on the Santa Fe it finally gets Into this an nual round-up. EXPERT AS CABINET-MAKEh. T<md| WoiMn of Mtunrnpoll* Bundle* the I'lnne anil Sew. Minneapolis has a successful cabinet maker in the person of Miss Helen Heisser, whose work is equal In point of excellence to that of any of her masculine competitors. She has set up her bench in her own apartments and there she may be found any day fashioning some artistic piece of work out of the rough boards which she pro cures from a neighboring lumber yard. Miss Heisser is her own designer and her work not only shows excellent workmanship, but originality along lines that are soundly artistic. Her work has ranged from an ordinary kitchen shelf to the finest kind of del icately wrought little mahogany boxes and chests of drawers. The young cabinet-maker has had no assistance, and the transformation from rough boards to the polished and carved work is accomplished wholly by hand tools. Woods are bought in rough boards and Miss Heisser even does her own veneering. The finest piece of work turned out last fall is a tiny ma hogany chest of drawers four inches in height and five and a half inches in width. This miniature piece of fur niture is for a man's writing table and intended for small articles of dress— pins, stud3, cuff links and collar but tons. Quite in contrast to this is a heavy, solid dark walnut reading table with a sloping top on which to rest heavy hooks. A substantial bench be longs with this table. A large and handsome piece of work is a screen six feet in height in three panels. This was carved and stained green. Some of the finest carving has been done on boxes and jewel cases, but book racks also afford an opportunity for carving and work in color. Until this fall she lias been occupied chiefly in teaching. She took the manual training course at the central high school and followed this by a course in kindergartening. While in school she executed several good pieces of construction work and wood-carving, following designs made by her sister, Miss Margarethe E. Heis ser. art teacher at the Moorhead nor mal school and formerly a leader of the Minneapolis art colony. For near ly two years Miss Helen Heisser taught manual training at the school for the feeble-minded at Faribault, giving tip that work last summer.—Chicago Chronicle. AN INCOMPARABLE SYSTEM. Is That of Transportation In the I’nlted States. One of the important factors in the strength of our industrial position is the unquestioned superiority of our transportation system, says Frank A. Vanderllp in Scribner's Magazine. If one has fresh in mind the picture of our luxurious trains, mammoth en gines, and. more important still, our standard fifty-ton freight cars, it makes the Europeans seem like ama teurs in the science of transportation when we see their toy cars, small lo comotives, and generally slow-going administration. If one looked into the matter with the eye of an expert, studying the unit of cost, the freight charges per ton per mile, or the mil eage rate for passenger service, and made comparative statistics of the ton nage of freight trains and the cost of moving them, he would discover a startling lack of efficiency, both in Great Britain and an the continent. Perhaps it is not quite fair to make comparisons of the average cost of freight traffic per ton per mile in America and in Europe, because the average haul is much shorter there, and terminal expenses of a haul are prac tically the same whatever its length. The average charge per ton per mile on all American railroads for all class es of freight is now less than % of a cent. If we take the statistics of the eastern trunk lines alone, that figure would be cut to about Vt cent per ton per mile. It compares with 2.4 in Great Britain, 2.2 in France, 1.6 in Germany, and 2.4 in Russia. One of the most remarkable illustrations of the failure of European managers of industries to keep pace with the times is found in a comparison of the ef ficiency of their railroads with ours. English railroads charge three times as much to move a ton of freight as it can be moved for in America. Eng lish railroad managers have failed to grasp the economies that are made possible by heavy traffic, by the use of engines of enormous capacity and freight cars that will carry fifty tons. But if the English railroads have failed to keep pace with ours, what can be said of the continental roads? Short trains, with pigmy freight cars, each car holding only about eight tons, make clear to any layman the handi cap which high transportation charges have laid on industry all over Europe. Eur Enough for Anyone. On a wager a man at Iola Is at tempting to eat one quail a day for thirty days. It Is inexplicable how the old delusion that a man cannot eat one quail a day for thirty days holds its own. Any man can eat one quail i day for thirty days. At Lawrence some years ago Will Upton ate two quails a day for more than thirty days. For the first week or two he starved himself with the idea that hs most keep up an appetite. After that he sometimes ate three or four of the birds in a day. Another old fraud on 'he public is the belief that a horse cannot pull a sack of sand at the end of a 200-foot rope. Any cow pony jn Kansas will go off on a lope with such a sack.—Kansas City Journal. Too many labor organisations are 0f the mQuth-organ variety. A* to Our < oflr*««*. “An old friend asked the other day what kind of coffee I used,” gossips Victor Smitfi in the New York Press, “and on being informed that it was the usual mixture of Arabian Mocha and Mandeling Java, half and half, at 40 cents a pound, offered this amazing information: ‘I am obliged to have a strong crip of good cofTce in the morn ing., Without it I am unable to at tend to business. I try to buy the best in the market, and for years have paid from 40 to 45 cents a pound for Mocha and Java. Not long ago I learned a secret. A great deal of the alleged Java we buy at big prices is Maracaibo, which under its real name only costs 15 cents a pound.' ” Hoot tut*kern One of the most expensive corners in Broadway is occupied by a firm of bootmakers. Immense gold letters on show window' and door bell spell “Bootmakers.” This, Victor Smith in sists, is rabidly oritish. In England only horses and clodhoppers wear shoes. In America our original idea of a “bootmaker” was a person who made boots high up on the leg; what are now generally called “topboots." We have not yet learned to character ize ordinary laced shoes as “boots.’' I* Diabetes rnrable? Halo, Ind„ Jan. 27th.—In answer, Mrs. L. C. Bowers of this place haa this to say: “I had Kidney Trouble which, neg lected, finally ran Into Diabetes; my teeth all got loose and part of them came out; i passed from one and a half to two gallons of water in twenty four hours, and such a burning sensa tion attended It that I could hardly bear It. 1 lost forty pounds in flesh and was very much discouraged. “Two doctors treated me and I took every Kidney Medicine I could hear of, but got no relief whatever from any thing till I began to use Dodd's Kid ney Pills. "Seven boxes of this remedy drove aw’ay every symptom I have men tioned.” Hypocrisy in a young man and af fectation in an old man ode synony mous. The satisfied bachelor believes that single blessedness includes numerous blessings. SOZODONT 4 PERFECT LIQUID DENTIFRICE FOR TH| TEETH — BREATH 256 EACH SOZODONT TOOTH POWDER HALLd. RUCKEL.
