away back in 1869 friend of mine,
Homer Balderstone, a fine, manly young
fellow drumming for New York sus-
pender house, was riding along just out
side of Dallas when he was captured by
band of outlaws, who, not content with
robbing him, bound him to a tree and
evidently meant to take his life.
1T was dreadful situation. Homer
was only twenty-nine, engaged to lie
married to Newark girl and in fair
way to make a fortune. He felt pretty
blue, as you may imagine, and when he
saw that the rascals were in earnest he
began to pray, at which the outlaws
simply laughed.
Then Homer began to sing. 1t was
Home, Sweet Home and although
Homer was no vocalist he sang it with
all his heart. The outlaws seemed
strangely moved at first, and then they
gathered slowly around him.
"Then at the end of the second verse. ~

Manuel Banana, or something like that,
who was captured shortly afterward,

The Use of Fat as a Food Threefold.

The Use of Fat as Food Threefold.
Liebig taught that fat split up in the
body, and that the free carbon combined
with the oxygen taken in in respiration
to produce carbonic acid, and that it
was by the act of respiratory combus-
ton that the body heat was maintained
Fatty foods were hence considered nee
essary as heat producers. Recent in
vestigations, however, show that though
fat is split up and combined with oxy-
gen in the production of heat, especially
'during muscular exercise, the process is
effected in the tissues by the action of
the cells, and not in the lungs as for
merly taught.
The use of the fat is now regarded as
threefold: To maintain the body heat.
In cold ATTITUDES, where the body is sub
ject to rapid cooling, fatty foods become
necessity, so that the carbon may be
easily supplied for combination with
oxygen in consumption. Hence the
Greenlander consumes large quantities
Of blubber and oil; To produce force.
A muscular tissue is only produced at
the cost of oxidation in the tissues; fat is
rapidly burned off during exercise. If
absent the tissues themselves would be
wanted. To prevent the use of albumen.
A purely albuminous diet is wasteful. 1t
has been proved experimentally that a
small amount Of meat food taken in com
bination with bread and fat sufices to
maintain the albuminous structures of
the body better than an exclusively lean
meat diet.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A GREAT CALL FOR CARS.

1t Comes from Cable and Electric Roads
and in View of the Worlds Fair.
There is a remarkable boom in car
building throughout the country just at
present. ''All the railroad companies
are making great preparations for the
Worlds fair at Chicago" said General
Horace Porter, vice president of the
Pullman Car company. "They antici-
pate an immense volume of travel to
Chicago next AGAR from every part of
the country a1le also a very large influx
of visitors from abroad. In anticipation
Of this largely increased passenger travel
the railroad companies have been placing
large orders for cars for some time past,
and the result is that all the carbuilders
are filed up with orders, and have at
least all they can do until late in the
spring to catch up with these orders.
1T is not only the railroads running to
Chicago from New York and the east
generally that are thus increasing their
car equipment in anticipation of Worlds
fair travel, but railroads in every part
of the country are doing so. It would
seem that they anticipate carrying not
only the people Of the United States
to Chicago, but carrying foreign visitors
all over and around the land.
"Then, too, a highly important factor
in creating the present boom is the fact
of so many street car companies all over
the country changing their motive power
from horses to electricity or cable, but l
believe very largely to electricity. It is
tho IN x1y1,sok IL;
change is being made, as Indicated by
the orders for new cars. Of course such
q change necessitates re-equipping the
road with cars, and you will readily see
that this means vast amount of car
building and rebuilding"
This view was amply corroborated by
the agents and officers of several other
big carbuilding concerns. They all
agree that this is great year for car
building, and that practically all COM
panies have enough orders on hand to
keep them busy for some months.
1T is really remarkable" said the
agent Of one prominent company, "the
extent to which electricity seems to be
coming into use as a street car motive
power. It was predicted that this year
would be the biggest yet known in cleo
trio carbuilding. It has proved so, but
the indications are that next years out
put will largely exceed it. We have had
to build another plant, almost doubling
the size of our works, exclusively for
building cars for electric street railroads.
And know this has been the case with
several companies. Not only is electric
ity coming largely into use on old roads.
but the growth of street car systems in
towns, and short railroads connecting
towns and villages, has increased at a
surprising rate since electricity began to
take its place as a practical means of
railroad traction, and there is of course
a corresponding increase in the carbuild-
ing business. Electricity seems to be in
creasing travelling facilities and con-
veniences at a greater ratio even than it
is superseding old methods of traction ~
