drinking of milk causes the bad results
which many people complain OF as re-
sulting from it's use. Do not drink much
milk with a substantial meal. Drink 1t
between meals and alone, or with
4 cracker or boiled rice. The latter,
taken at bed time, will induce sleep. So
also will boiled onions with the heated
milk poured over them.
Drink milk very slowly, absorbing a
few swallows at time. II you know
that you must go bouncing around"
Immediately after lunch, then hugh
solid mass of cold porridge in bowl of
milk is not the dish for you. If a per-
son may remain in state OF perfect
quieScence after drinking milk, its
beneficial effects only will be felt. As
an antidOte to nervous Stimulant like
tea. milk is excellent. When the
stimulating effects of tea or coffee has
left one weak or nervous a half glass OF
sweet milk with cracker will frequent
" diSSipate such feeling. Cold milk
will leave person much cooler than
cold water will. Too much lemonade
has very weakening effect upon the

a Serious Runaway Accident.

About eleven o'clock yesterday morn
ing a horse belonging to Mr.. Giesey
was standing near the corner OF Six
teenth and Jacob streets, when the
animal took fright at some cattle
which were passing and ran east on
Sixteenth street. Little Edna Rogers,
aged three years. was crossing the
street near Goetze'S, and was struck
and knocked down, one wheel of the
buggy striking her head. She was
picked up unconscious and carried to
DR.. Kelley's, where DR.. Beebout was
also called in. The child was uncon-
scious for quite while, and it was re-
ported throughout the centre of the
city that she had been killed, but later
the little one revived, and last night
was reported better. The horse was
caught and taken to Beltz, Flading &
Co.'S, where it fell dead little later,
being supposed to have been overcome
by heat.

A GIGANTIC BRIDGE.
What the Bridge and Terminal People
Are Doing.


The new railroad bridge TO be erected
by the Bridge and Terminal Railroad
Company, across the creek at the
Whitaker mill will be the second heavi-
est bridge of It's size in the United
States, and will be well worth an in
Spection when completed. The steel
SuperStructure has about all arrived,
and the work of hosting it in place will
soon commence. The girderS for the
bridge are nine feet deep, and one of
them, in a single piece, is Seventy-six
feet long, and weighs thirty-Six tons,
being the heaviest single piece Of metal
the Terminal Company has yet han
died. Another girder, which came in
three pieces, and will have TO be bolted
and riveted together, Is one hundred
and two feet long.
The railroad tracks through the tun-
mel under Chapline hill have been bal
lasted up, and a connection has been
made with the Riverside switch at
Twenty-ninth street, and thence with
the b. & O. system, and some of the
cars of bridge iron are on the tracks
around by the Whitaker mill. In fact,
the b. Il o. Company could now run
trains through the tunnel and over the
Terminal Company'S system TO the Pitts
burg division, if it desired to do so. The
Terminal Company's track has also been
extended across Twenty ninth and Chap
line streets, and out considerable dis
lance toward the river.

1t is estimated that if the crackers
baked at the big Marvin establishment
every day were placed in a line they
would form u chain that would reach
from here to San Francisco. And they
do reach that far, for people all over
the country realize the superiority OF
Marvin'S crackers, and order them so
rapidly that the big ovens can scarcely
supply the demand. Remember that
Marvin'S crackers are the best and don't
buy any others.

Rubber and Rubber Goods.

How much pure rubber is contained
in the manufactured article? About 20
per cent. The best Para gum costs
ninety-6ve cents a pound. so you see
rubber boots and shoes cannot be made
for nothing. In the smallest rubber
shoe made there are about four ounces
of pure rubber, and from that to prob
ably four pounds in pair of rubber
boots.
Old rubbers are ground up, lining and
all, into what we call rag carpet. and it
is used for insoles.
The work is nearly all done by hand
and in the factories are employed young
children, men and women. A bootmak-
er gets twenty cents pair for making
them, and a good man can turn out
from ten to twelve pairs day
There are between fifteen and twenty
rubber boot and shoe factories in the

$4,000 pairs of boots and shoes d1y

dreadful and heartrending plays were in

Conversational Eauality.

For conversation society must not be
very unequal. By inequality do not
refer to the doubtful distinction of bank
ing accounts or family trees. So far as
these are concerned there is nothing 30
democratic as conversation. But it does
demand some approach to similarity
not in opinions; with good temper these
may widely differ-but in manners and
taste, and, above all, in intellectual
capacity. When people are brought to-
gether without care for these similarities
we know what happens If their num-
Der be large enough they invariably split
up, not by cold exclusiveness, but by
natural selection, into mutually appre-
ciative groups, of which each member
has some affinity for the rest.
Where this instructive distribution Is.
through smallness of numbers or the
fussiness of host, impossible we may
expect dull time. All know Bret
Harte's tale of man who had never
heard of Adam before and asked "What
was his other name?'' But there have
been takers in real life also who had to
endure much at the hands of the igno-
