rHE IRON HORSE.
Railroad Extensions, ana business
OutloOks.

The Union Pacific is now able to sup
ply the coal market from its Wyoming
mines, and it has partially shut down on
the Utah Central.
The Union Pacific seems to be in ear
nest in its project for the new line to Elk
horn valley and Northwestern Nebraska.
Manager Galloway states that the branch
will be pushed north from Schuyler or
some point west of Omaha early in the
spring for the purpose OF competing with
the Northwestern for the trade of that
section. Eventually the road will be
pushed into the Black Hills.
Messrs X. VI. Galbraith, the general
manager, and Charles Carson, the super
%intendeut, Of the Rawlins Dimension
Sandstone company, of Rawlins. are in
Omaha introducing their new material to
the notice Of builders and architects.
Specimens Of their fine stone have been
on exhibition in Traffic Manager Kimball' :
office for some time, and have been favor
ably commented upon by all who saw
them Messrs Galbraith and Carson say
it is a fine building stone which squared
from endless lodges near Rawlins. It is
a grayish-white stone and dresses very
easily. 1t is claimed that on exposure to
the ar il hardens with each succeeding
year, and thus becomes a perfect building
material.
The Union Pacific extension Of its line,
the Utah Northern, from Butte to Helena,
in anticipation of the Northern Pacific =
completion to that point, creates much
talk in railroad circles.

Dentistry of tho Primltivs SORT.
IBoston Globe

Some Of the more primitive methods
of extracting teeth are worthy of men
ton. One was to attach one end of a
stout string to the offending tooth, the
other end to tho handle of a half-opened
door, and then suddenly close the door.
The Same OBJ ect was sometimes at
tanned by fastening the string to a win
dow-sill, and then jumping out of tho
window. How high a window should
be from the ground to perform this
operation satisfactorily is not stated,
though this is a questioned but little
momen to a man suffering with a
raging ~toothache.
Early in the present century dentists
travelled from town to town, provided
with a turnkey, n scraper, and some
kind of dentifrice. The latter COM
monty contained acids. which not only
removed the tartar from teeth, but de-
stroyed their enamel. As one of Bos-
ton 5 most prominent dentists expressed
it,: TO use such a preparation is like
setting a barn aire to kill the rats" In
destroying exposed nerves a hot iron
was useu in place of steptics. A small
nerve in the ear, connected with a Il
work of nerves. extending to the median
hot iron to prevent toothachs. In
other words, the burning Of that little
nerve precluded the possibility Of tooth
ache on one side of the face. This was
not a general custom, though the oper-
alton is known to have been quite fire.

The fact is that a telephone does not
disguise a voice az all; II simply accents
its prevailing quality, making it rather
more recognizable, If possible. A person
who has a sharp ring in the voice will
speak more sharply, a gruif voice will
be more gruff; and, by the same rule,
an insincere voice ought to be more in
sincere. The telephone, indeed, if a
little more leisure could be given to the
people who talk through it, instead of
the feeling that the central Office is

prise yesterday. 1t was worth fifty of
Coughs lectures, and volumes of medi-
cal advice to hard drinkers. One of the
old timers declined to take II drink when
invited in the most pressing manner. His
name is-let it be Jim. for obvious rea-
sons. He had been u confirmed inebriate,
warranted not to draw a sober breath
from sun to sun, and his pre-emptory re-
fusal to smile, excited the wonder of those
who knew him, and they asked the reason
for his unusual conduct. He said: Two
weeks ago on the ranch | saw a small snake
in the path and on kicking it found it was
a stick. On reaching the sheds | saw a
snake cooled around the pommel of my
saddle. | grasp it and found it was my
whip lash. Sudden dread filled my soul,
and dropped on the ground and clasped
my hands on my eyes to shut out the
horrible sight"

That means trouble ahead. Time is
