Bearded Ladies.

Quite an interesting operation was
performed by DIR. +. w. Koehler in the
Homeopathic Dispensary yesterday
morning. BY the nlerest of accidents a
reporter of the Commercial was present.
While passing the dispensary on Walnut
street. near Third, he observed
heavily dressed lady enter the dis
pensary. The reporter managed by
strategy to gain admission. The young
lady was seated on chair facing the
audience. When the veil was removed
face was revealed that for the softness
of the deep-blue eye and the general
tineness of the well-rounded features
would be taken for a man. A heavy,
soft and straggling-looking beard, like
that of q young man where razors are
scarce, covered her face 1t was very
down-like and long, and was quite per-
ceptible, giving her hideous appear
ance. She seemed down-hearted and
much oppressed over the thought of be-
ing made show. Her face was scarlet
with bushes, but she was willing to
suffer any torture to get rid of these
masculine appendages. After an in
troductory lecture upon hairy women in
general, and the only method OF remov-
ing hirsuteness, the doctor proceeded
with the operation. He said that there
was only one method by which hair can
be permanently removed Pulling them
out only. removes them temporarily,
while shaving, as it iswell known, culti-
Yates their growth. The only method
as yet found to be successful is that Of
electrolysis. by which the hair bulb is
de opposed and permanently de-
stroyed. The bearded woman was then
turned around and large battery of the
type generally used BY physicians put
into operation, a small thin needle,

The Cost Of stopping Train Of Cars.

The cost of stopping train of cars,
is being guessed at by experts just now
in very interesting way. And it is
something worth the inquiry OF railroad
men, especially in Come ticut, where,
besides the stations, there are so many
draw-bridges at which the safe'y OF the
travelling public demands full stops.
Estimates OF the cost have ranged from
one-quarter of a cent up to two dollars
for stopping an ordinary passenger
train. The small figure represented
only the est mated loss of metal by ap-
plying the brake to the wheel Some
of the real conslderat ons that go to
make up the cost of a stop are the coal
burned while the train is standing still
and in order to resume the former
speed This the Pennsylvania Railroad
people put at twelve to fifteen cents;
then there are the wages of all the per-
sons on the train, who, while the train
slows down and stops, are paid as il
they were running. This is insignificant
in the case of one person, but it amounts
10 something when the whole train
force is considered; besides these there
is the wear of rails. A rail lasts only a
third as long where trains come TO a
stop on it as when merely run over.
This is the result of the act on of the
brakes. Then, too, more accidents
occur to engines, to wheels, and to
axIes, in com ng 10 stop or in starting
again, than when running right along.
The Rdiir0Gd Gazette reports discus
sion on this subject, in which the con-
clusion is reached that the actual cost
of stopping an ordinary train is about
thirty to sixty cents. An an using story
is told of trial where experts testified
that il cost two dollars TO stop train.
They established the fact. Then the
counsel on the other side produced the
company's timetable, with full list Of
iaIl the stops. including station, took the
total number OF its trains, calculated
the total stoppages OF the trains for
one year, multiple the result by two
dollars-the experts estimate of cost
and demonstrated that the stoppages
halone had, if the estimate was righi !,
cost the company three times as much
as the entire amount of its operating ex-
penses for the year. This reduction to
"a solid basis of fact upset the two dollar
