A Brave Engine3I

CONCORD, N. H., July 10.-Yester-
day afternoon as freight train was
going west from Pittsfeld on the Sum
cook Valley road Charles j. Hutchins,
the engineer, saw short distance a.
head little child on the track. Real
izing that it was impossible to stop
the train before reaching the child, he
quickly went forward to the pilot in
the hope of grasping and rescuing the
little one. A sudden lurch of the To-
connective caused him to fall on the
track, but the pilot foltunately threw
him from the roadbed. The engine
knocked down and passed over the
child, who, when discovered by the
engineer under the moving train, was
attempting to crawl out between the
wheels. Hutchins, hanging to the
side of car, reached through the
truck frame, caught the child, and
holding it safely was dragged by the
train until it was stopped. The en-
gineer was somewhat bruised, but the
child was unhurt.

Frankfort's System of Banks.

OF all the schemes designed for small
savings aud to encourage the poor to lay
by small sums the penny savings stamp
system, established in 1882 at Frankfort
on-the Main is the most unique. Frank
fort is distinguished among European
cities by the large average wealth of its
citizens, and by its exceptional promi-
hence in all that pertains to banking
and finance. Many great banking fami-
lies had their origin in Frankfort, from
which branches have been established
at Paris, London, Vienna and New York.
There are today not less than 200 bank
ing houses. public and private, in the
city. 1t might naturally be expected,
then, in view of these facts, that some
original features in the line of savings
banks should be found there
The Frankfort Savings bank is pri-
vate corporation established in 1923,
nearly seventy years ago, when Frank
fort was free city and independent Of
all state allegiance and control. 1t be-
gan with 294 depositors, with 1894
marks to their credit In 1889 there
were 56,697 depositors, with an aggre-
gate capital of 3s,215, 697 marks, the re-
ceipts and Withdrawals that year being
6,S19,276 ana 5,151, 500 marks respec-
lively.
There are three departments connected
with this institution. The Savings De-
post bank, which comprises a central
office and two branches in different parts
of the city; the Weekly Savings bank,
a separate bureau, under the same man
agement, but differing from it in that it
collects from each depositor a stated
weekly deposit. and the Penny Savings
institution. which is adapted to the
methods of the humblest class of depos-
itors, whose savings are limited to few
pennies per day or week.-New York
Recorder.

TO CROSS THE OCEAN IN TINE SKY.

A Balloon without Passengers Soon to
BE Started ON Transatlantic Trip.
To cross the Atlantic is the enterpris-
ing mission upon which balloon will
start from Germantown. The balloon
will not carry any passengers, but 1t Is
intended to pilot the way for monster
airship that will carry at least two voy-
ayers The inventor Of this new airship
is Charles P. Fest, of 1855 Lena street,
Germantown.
Mr. Fest has been working on the
problem of aerial navigation for the
past fifty years, and is now convinced
that he has solved it. He is an emf
nently practical business man and works
at his invention at odd hours. He has
tried every scheme eff aerial navigation
that has been suggested in the past dec
AIDE and half, and has reached the
conclusion that all schemes of propul-
sion by machinery are impacticable.
The air currents, in his opinion, form
the only motive power that can be re-
lied on The balloon which Mr. Fest
has now projected is on the old princi-
Pile of the hot air ship.
The experimental machine that will
be started across the Atlantic is com
pleted, and is an exact model of the
larger one that is expected 10 later carry
over the inventor. ThA hot gas that
will initiate the bag will be q ee /

The gasoline is ignited at the tube that
passes into the pipe near the bottom
and the flame shoots up the pipe to the
top, where it is arrested by cap.
The bag is made of a preparation o
paper and is rugged so that it canno
sway and come in contact with tn,

and experience shows that the ten gal

hours longer, according to Mr.. Fest
calculations, than will be necessary t.

WHY THE SEA IS SALT.
An Arabian Legend Which Dates from
Adam and Eve.

An Arabian Legend Which Dates from
Adam and Eve.
There are hundreds Of queer myths and
traditions given to account for the fact that
the sea is salt, says the st. Louis Republic.
The Arabs say that when the first pair
sinned they we're living in beautiful gar
den on a tract Of land Joined to a mainland
by a narrow neck or isrhmus.
When it became known TO the Holy One
that his people had sinned he went to the
garden for the purpose of driving them out
and across the narrow neck Of land into the
patch Of thorns and brambles on the other
side.
Anticipating what would be the conse-
queDce Of their heinous crime, they had pre-
pared to leave their beautiful garden, and
had actually gone so far as to send the chill
dren and goats across into the thicket.
When the Holy One appeared on the scene
the first pair started to run, but the woman
looked back. For this the man cursed her,
and for such q crime was almost immedi-
ately turned into block Of salt. Compare
with Genesis xix, 26.)
The woman, more forgiving than her hus-
band, stopped to pick up the shspeless mass
Of salt, when Immediately the narrow peck

The plsinest features become pretty when
clothed with fresh, velvety skin. Il is in the
power OF every woman TO have a soft, fine

will devote little time and care to her toilet
It should be a duty as well as a pleasure to
every woman to enhance her powers Of attract

So says the highest authority in London. But
nothing can be more absurd than for any lady
TO try and be beautiful simply bY powdering
the face, or applying cream or ointment. These
things are necessary, il is true: but something
else is more important. Good refreshing sleep.
Narm circulating blood which never permits
cold feet or blue noses. These things make
beauty quicker than any powders or lotions
can. But, my lady reader says how can this be
donei Keep the blood moving by some gentle
stimulant, and for this purpose nothing is equal
to pure whIskey Not the whisky one commonly
hears Of; not the questionable kind that is drunk
by gross men in grosSer places, but something
pure, palatable and pleasing. This is precisely
what Duffy's Pure Malt WhiSkey is and what has
made it so UNNECESSARILY popular. The best
doctors in the land prescribe it, The finest
scientists indorse it. In it all those Qualities ere

LANTIC RAILROAD.

In the matter Of the petition Of the Western

commission, after careful consideration OF the
facts and figures presented, have concluded
that, as the present special rates for passenger
fares over the Western and Atlantic railroad
were fixed at the request OF the management
of said road, the refusal to grant the petition
under consideration would be making an un.
just discrimination against the Western and AT
lantic railroad in favor Of all other first class
roads in the state. and that granting the petit
ton. would be simply placing the local patrons
of the Western aud Atlantic railroad on au
equal footing with those Of all other hrst-class
roads in the state,
IL il, therefore,
ordered that the Western and Atlantic railroad
be placed in Class a q cents per mile) of the
Standard Passenger Tariff, subject to Rule No.
