The "scenic Route OF America" bet
ter known as the Denver 81 Rio Grande,
which connects the Burlington route with
Salt Lake City and the Central Pacific,
is in a demoralized condition at present.
Traffic beyond Denver is entirely sus'
pended and all the Utah business is trans.
ferred TO the Union Pacific. The melting
of the snow in the mountains formed
mighty torrents in the canyons, tearing
away miles of the road bed, destroying in
u few hours work which required the
labor of skilled hands for months to ac-
complain. The greatest damage has been

The Children.

A child however young. soon finds out
If YOU mean what you say, and whether
ANYTHING il to be got BY whining and wor-
ryfng. III it finds out that the latter is
the case, good-by to any comfort both for
it and you. Firmness is the truest kind
ness in the end. for child, denied some
wish. knows at once that you mean It, ana
runs of at once after some other whim-
and soon forgets its first want; whereas,
If it discovers it can whine and coax
you out of a refusal, your authority Is
gone: and when the time comes that even
you cannot grant the desire, the child will
fret itself and you sick trying to make
you change. Do not scold child for
high spirits; health, child is almost al
uays high spirited. and almost as certain
Iy mischievous. The little creature that
sits quietly in its corner, with toys or its
book, never making a noise ahd never
soiline or tearing its clothes. is seldom or
never healthy child. In fact. if healthy
and well. child is never quiet except
when asleep. If it is all well and strong.
and is 1uiet, you may be perfectly certain
this quiet is only the lull before the storm
and NAV prepare yourself tor some ex-
plosion with the greatest calmness you
can muster.
A child cannot have too much fresh air.
If it is anyway possible, he should be out
every day. Even if damp under foot, let
him out for q sharp run. being careful
that, the instant he comes in. his boots,
and, if damp. his socks are taken of and
changed for dry ones. Also. see that for
an hour at least the nursery windows are
open top and bottom. to air the room daily
Unless the rooms and the beds they use
are thoroughly aired. children cannot be
healthy.
Never allow a child to be frightened in
any way-especially never allow frightful
stories in the nursery. If by any chance
a child does get hold OF some hobgoblin
story. try by every means to counteract its
effects. Till one has watched them, one
cannot realize how children think over
things. and how intensely real their i'm
aginations are to them. For this reason
one ha. to be very careful. Never try to
laugh child out Of its fear; that will only
make it feel out Of sympathy with you,
and shut itself up. consequently brood
over the thing more and more.

Well Dressed.

There is good deal said against dress,
and about the vanity and extravaganza
and frivolity it engenders. Now. permit
me to say few words in its favor. In
the first place. thoroughly believe in
dress. think that the Unborn love Of
dress in most women is only struggling
to the surface of hidden artistic instincts,
and that they ought to be encouraged and
cultivated. not sneered at and oppressed.
DO not misunderstood me. Love OF dress
may be carried to excess. like anything
else. and II woman is certainly contempti-
BILE enough. the whole of whose thoughts.
night and day. or even the greater part OF
them are occupied with the adornmont of
her own person. But none the less does
it seem to me the duty of every woman to
always appear thorough well dressed.
That does not mean large expenditure,
either. A woman with little natural
taste and invention can look quite
as charming in cambria or cashmere. as if
she were robed in silks and velvets. 1t Is
no credit to woman of brains to appear
careless of her personal appearance, and
to offend the eve by wearing incOngruous
and ill-assorted colors, or badly fitted
gowns. Her larger intellect should help
her to grasp and carry out pleasing effects
in her dress. with all the greater saving OF
time. worry and expense. and teach her
how much more of charm and influence
over others is given her by always being
neatly. tremendously and well dressed
She is then something that is grateful to
rest the eye upon while conversing. g
pleasant memory to rest ones mind upon
in her absence.
Then by all means let our dress be the
eptome of cultivated minds and gracious
manners-an outer expression of inner re-
finement of feeling.

Amusements.

Smiths Original Double Mammoth
Uncle Toms Cabin Company whats
in name) gave performance at Bone:
brakes Opera House, last Friday even
ing, to the largest house ever seen in
Abilene. The troupe was a reasonably
good one, but the play was so merci-
lessly cut that some of the best parts
wefe left entirely out. The realistic
parts were only tolerably portrayed.
The tableauX were touching and well
given. The eight colored plantation
singers created some amusement and
were well received. Taken altogether,
the performance was not more than an
average one.
The melodrama, Loves Sacrifice
by Salina company was given in Bone
brakes Opera House last Tuesday even
ing. The night was the coolest of the
winter, the advertising Of the play was
not extensive, and there seemed to be
a disposition on the part of some to re-
member the treatment Salina gave to
the Abilene ''Belshazzer" troupe not so
very long ago. Hence the small audi
dience. But our reporter mentions the
company very favorably, and says that
the play, which contained great deal
of interest, was very creditably pro-
duced by our Salina friends. Especial
mention may be made of c. S. Martin,
p. @. Bond, Mrs. Daily, Belle Daily and
Mary Suydam, who viii rank well as
amateurs. 1t may be eyasiye, but it is
safe, to say that the Salina company is
not so good nor so bad as some Of the
troupes which preceded them.
