Another very interesting exhibit Is the old
locomotive Samson. " enc Of the first engines
ever introduced into America. This engine
was built in 1898. at New Sheldon. Durham
England, and brought TO this country about
the same time. IL was used In the Albion
coal mine, near Stelarton, Nova Scotia. until
n few years ago. Accompanying the loco
motive is tho passenger eur, IL Is "a clumsy
affair, containing two seats, with room for
about four or five passengers. Tho doors
open on the sidcs, the same as many English
coaches OF to-day. The engine aud coach
are IN pretty fair state OF preservation.
The tender In those days went ahead OF the
locomotive, while the engineer stood on tho
rear. The engine Is u standard gauge in
verted diroct-acting. with four-ioot drivers.
Two other ancient locomotives are also
among the exhibits, the albion" and "Old
lronsides. Both otthese are more primitive
IN their construction than the samson, -
and are not quite so large.

wide. The supports are each composed Of
two parts, the lower ones weighing seventy
one tons each. and the upper ones forty

Apricot Whip.

The Epicure gives the following:
Stew half can of apricots soft with a
teacupful of sugar, and while hot rub
through sieve. When cold, beat the
whites of three eggs to stiff frOtn and
add slowly to the apricot. This should
not be done till within an hour or two
of using. but the whites can be sep
arated and set OF the ice. as this will
make them beat better.
With the three yOlks make custard
as follows: BRING one pint of milk to
boiling point, and add to 1t saltspoon-
full of salt, two tablespo0nfuls of sugar
and half teaspoonful of vanilla. Beat
the yolks smooth. Dissolve teaspoon
full of cornstarch in little cold water
and add, letting it boil for a moment till
smooth; then add the yolks and set
away TO get icy cold.
Pile the apricot measure in pretty
dish or platter and pour the custard
around it. Simple as this sounds it is a
delicious dessert.

GIRL OF THE FUTURE.
Will She Bring Back the Pensive
STYLES of Years Ago?

There seems to be mode in maladies
as we'll as in nantes, styles in suffering
as novelties in dress, says the New York
Sun. Just at the present time it isn't
fashionable to have any physical all
ment, unless it Is something vague and
peculiar under the general name of
'nerves," and the odd thing about it is
that it is only the more robust and
vigorous women, so far as looks are an
indication OF virility, that have this
nervous prOstrations perpetually on
hand.
If a woman looks pale and delicate
she never will admit that she is not
strong. The fin-de-Siecle girl glorieS IN
bearing physical pain without COM
plant. She will seat herself in the
dentists or oculist's chair as unconcern-
edly as if posing for the photographer,
and submit to the most painful opera
tons without groan; in fact, assuring
the operator that it really was less
painful than she expected"
A car driver would cry like baby if
subjected to half as much suffering.
But we are returning to the days of
sloping shoulders, of parted pensive
treSses, of fullness and frivolity in Dress
The up-to-date girl is sweetly submiS-
sive, not smart and self-reiant. She
wears flowers Ill her hair, and occasion
ally even ventures i'll what the girl in
the old novels is always doing, putting
a rose in her bosom, your rose that you
have given her. And she does it with
such a shy and modest little blush
Now the question Is. will the ''vaporS"
and ''SwoonS" and ''sobbings" of that
period come in again? The Amelias
and DeliaS and CaroIines of that day
were always i'll dead faint over some
thing.
They tainted for joy and tainted for
sorrow. A girl of that time swooned off
when her lover proposed, and when she
came to she was always lying in his
arms, and, of course, it was all over,

Wedding Presents Must Be Coca
ofTheir Kind.

Pictures as wedding presents are very
fashionable; but there is one unwritten
law of artistic taste in these gifts which
should be observed, viX.: That the
picture should be good of its kind. 1t
must not be a copy of painting. The
advance of modern inventions for the
copying of pictures has reached almost
most a fac-simile stage; therefore copy
of an oil painting by some one not pro-
ticient in the art cannot be "a thing OF
beauty and a JOY forever" as a wedding
present ought to be, for it is supposed
it will be lifelong possession. Modern
masters do not encourage students to
copy; and q really good artist does not
do so himself. Pinchbeck art is as much
out of fashion as pinchbeck jewelry.. Ii,
for pocketbook reasons, an original
painting cannot be bought, then select
an etching with wide margin for q

light wood or oak. For steel engray-
ing moro brilliant frame will be suit
