chased some locomotives which are OF
a new type. Instead Of being like the
ordinary locomotive they are built
more like the modern steamboat, be-
Tug supplied with compound engines.
One Of the locomotives was stopped
on the Ration mountain this week to
see what it could do, and there have
been master mechanics from all over
the west there to see the trial, among
whom were Master Mechanic Grey of
this division and Master Mechanic
Small Of Sacramento, who has the
charge Of the locomotives of the en-
tire Southern Pacific system. Reports
of the trial have not as yet been made,
but If they are a success it will mean a

The Latest London Dance.

From the San Francisco News Letter.
A new and favorite dance just now
in London is called the "barn dance, "
and it has music of it's own. Hand
in hand, held as if for minuet, the
couple advance, making two steps
forward, and then wheel round as Tor
q waltz; the steps are repeated, the
waltz-like twirl also, and so on.
Then, even IN quiet, respectable
private houses, the pas quatre is
danced, but, as it seems to be almost
q muscular effort, led on by brilliant
music, to kick the chandelier, but few
ladies are reckless enough to attempt
it, and they leave it to swell the tri-
umphs of q premiere danseuse on the
stage. Nevertheless there is an evil
dent reastion in ball rooms against
the crawling, lazy sort of movements
into which dancers Oflate years have
been allowed to degenerate.

From Good Housekeeping.
In Ireland belt made of women's
hair is placed about a. child to keep
harm away.
Garlic, salt, bread and steak are
into the cradle of a newborn babe in
Holland.
Roumanian mothers tie red ribbons
around the ankles of their children to
preserve them from harm, while Es-
thonian mothers attach bits OF assafe.
tida to the necks of their ofsprings.
WEIGH mothers put a pair of tongs
or a knife in the cradle to insure the
safety of their children; the knife is
also used for the same purpose in
some parts of England.
At the birth of a child in lower
Brittany the neighboring women take
it in charge, wash it, crack it's joints,
and rub it's head with oil to solder the
Uranium bones. 1t is then wrapped
in tight bundle, and its lips are an
nointed with brandy to make it full
Breton.
The Grecian mother, before putting
her child in it's cradle, turns three
times around before the fire, while
singing her favorite song, to ward off
evil spirits.
In Scotland, it is said that to rock
the empty cradle will insure the COM
ing of occupants for it.
The London mother places q book
under the head of the newborn in
FAINT, that it may be quick at reading,
and puts money into its first bath 10
guarante its future wealth.
The Turkish mother loads her child
with amulets as soon as it is born,
and small bit of mud, well stepped
in hot water, prepared by previous
charms, is stuck on its forehead.
In Spain the infants face is swept
with pine-tree bough, to bring good
luck.
In America the child is handed over
to nurse, with instructions, to
"raise it on the bottle"
