Death Of a Veteran,

At the age OF 90 has died in England
a veteran of the Peninsula and Waterloo
! campaigns, who had virtue not COM
mon to Waterloo vaterans--he was not
garrulous. Col. James o. Liudam. got
his first commission 72 yeas ago, Gin
1900 ana at once joined the allies uu-
der Wellington IN Portugal, arriving
just III time TO take part in the battle OF
Ableura-an interesting part, for he was
one of the 1900 who, after that fight,
"stood triumphant on the fatal hill.
His brigade before the engagement had
numbered 1900 men; after tt only 600
of them remained unhurt. At Waterloo
he was wounded early in the day-prob-
ably during the storm on Hugomont-
and had to be taken from the field. For
a long time his recovery was despaired
of, and in the belief that he would surely
die he sold his commission, thus closing
in 1917, his military career, and yet liv-
ing for IS more years. He was half a
Dane, and in his late years used often to
visit the land of his Danish parent.
Last summer he went over as usual,
and it was said of him that he was then
seen swimming in the sound at Elsnore,
and the same evening he took part in
ball

How He Earned His Promotion,

The chief clerk of a French merchant
recently received an invitation to mask
ed ball at his employers, and was the
envy Of his comrades. 1t was considered
mark of great favor, and was looked
upon as sign that he would soon be Of
fered place in the firm itself. Resoly-
ed to make the occasion a success, he
spent good deal of time and consider
able money in devising and making his
masquerade costume which, after long
deliberation was to be that of monkey.
Then he spent a week in learning a
number of -grinning, clambering
on the chimney, springlng over the bed,
balancing himself on the back of chair.
The evening came. He rang the bell,
flung his overcoat into the servants
arms and with grin and chatter turned
somersault under the chandelier. The
gentlemen stood stupefed, and the ladies
screamed His mask prevented him
seeing much, but the noise encouraged
him to bound over the sofa and throw
down cabinet of old china. At this
moment hand seized him, tore off his
mask, and the voice of his employer ask
ed him what he meant by his Internal
conduct. Before he could explain he
was hustled out Of the house, learning
by one glimpse that the rest of the COM
pany was in evening dress. The next
day he was sent for, and entered the Of

How Steel Rails are Made.

The process of making steel rails un-
der the new system is as follows: The
material is received at the shops in the
shape of Bessemer steel blooms about 7
inches square and long enough to tally
with the required weight of the rails. In
the manufacture of rail, its form and
proportion is ascertained to be of more
consequence than the weight, as accord
ing to practical experience an 80-pound
iron rail wears out much faster than a
properly proportional 60-pound rail, and
the proper weight for steel rail is
about 55 to 81 pounds to the yard. On
some roads in this country, as the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, they run as
high as 81 pounds, and in Europe to SO
pounds to the yard. The first process
in their manufacture consists in placing
the blooms in furnace, where they are
left until they obtain q fine mellow red
heat. They are passed Immediately
through double set of rough and finish
ing rolls, when the acquire nearly their
necessary shape and consistency, when
they are transferred to buggy or move
able wise where they are held until they
are sawed off at the required length.
The next process consists in placing the
rails on the hot beds or straighteners,
previous care having been taken to put a
sweep into them of about II inches to al
low for contraction. From the beds
they are removed to the cold straightener
and undergo final smoothing process,
after which they are drilled for fish bolts
and also slotted for spikes. The rails
are then conveyed to the cars for ship
ment
