CUTTING AwaY A BIG LEDGE.
Work of Five Years Nearly Completed
by the Reading Railroad.

After over five years of constant
work the Reading railroad has recent
ly finished a really gigantic job, the
completion of which will remove one
of the most dangerous spots on the
company's entire system, says the Phil
adelphia Record. This work is the cut
ting away of the lofty ledge of rocks
which jut out from Ashland heights,
West Manayunk, necessitating two
very dangerous curves in the railroad,
which have been the scene of accidents
innumerable to the Readings long and
heavy coal and freight trains. BY the
removal of the ledge straight track
of over two miles will be secured from
Cleggs lane to Flat Rock tunnel, and
the risk of accidents will be reduced to
a minimum The work was begun on
June Is. 1889, during the presidency OF
Austin Corbin. and from that time to
this there has been no cessation in the
labor of cutting away the rock. James
j, Ryan got the contract, and has had
a force of aen constantly at work.
Some idea of the magnitude of the job
may be gathered from the statement
that the offending ledge was, when
the work began, over six hundred
I and fifty feet in length, one hundred
and fifty feet high on the average and
fifty feet deep. During the progress OF
the work two hundred and ten thou
sand perches of stone have been quar-
! ried out by the explosion of seventy
eight thousand pounds of dynamite
and several car loads of powder. One
man lost his life during the prosecu-
ton of the Improvement, two were
blown up and permanently injured and
one lost a leg. The job is now nearing
its end under the direction of Jane
Walls, and the last of the ledge is ex'
pected to disappear within two months
The Readings tracks will then be
moved SO as to take out. the two dan
gerous curves, and the company vii
have a fine straight piece of road from
the mouth of the Flat Rock tunnel
down to the curve just above the Pen
coyd iron works. The expense to the
company has been light, as the ledgt
has furnished a large amount OF gooe
building stone, which has formed {
portion of the contractors compensa
ton.

QUEER THINGS IN JAVA.
Millions of q Pigmy Race Who Work for
Ten Cents a Day.

A rich coffee and sugar grower of
Java, who recently arrived in San
Francisco, told, says the Examiner an
interesting story the other day about
this queer country, for SO many years
under the control of the Dutch. and
said that few persons understood the
strange conditions of life there.
"You never saw such happy people
anywhere as these little Javanese.
They are always talking, laughing and
dancing, and seem never to have any
sort of care. They work in the tea,
coffee and sugar plantations for eight
or nine cents day, and the best of
them never get over ten or twelve
cents. Yet they are entirely contentcd.
The women. who are the best for tea
picking, do not get more than four or
five cents day. The tea is cut every
forty days, so there is always work to
do There is big yield this year, and
it is good tea, but it isn't worth much.
We got word from Amsterdam, where
much of our tea goes, that it was
/ worth only from nine to ten cents per
/ pound.
| with coffee and sugar the price is
] different There never was as much
/ money in sugar as at the present time.
/ 1t is worth from three dollars and
! twenty cents to thee dollars and sixty
cents for each piekel, or one hundred
! and thirty-four pounds. The growers
are getting rich. Both the coffee and
sugar crops are very large, and, like
the tea, they are very fine Coffee has
veered around so much that there is nc
longer much money in it. All that is
grown must be sold to the government
That is requirement. 1t is cheap. In
Holland it is worth but six dollars fol
each one hundred and thirty-foui
pounds.
"All the labor used is Javanese. i
would not pay to employ any other
and though the wages are small th'
people are probably the hanpiest OF
the globe. Their wants are few, The
climate is so mild that little is worn
and they are as jolly as the day Their
are twenty-four millions of them, ant
the Dutch government has never hat
the slightest trouble with any of them.

KISSING AMONG WOMEN.
The Tasteless Salute Being Abandoned by
Tnshionables In Eastern Cities.

The Tasteiess Salute Being Abandoned by
Fashionablcs in Eastern Cities.
Not few society women of New
York and other eastern centers of pop
ulation have revolted against the
they meet. kissing began to go out Of
fashion when physical culture came in.
1t was the athletic girls who helped to
bring about the change in salutation,
says the New York World DR. Sargent,
DR.. Savage and other eminent but less
prominent professors of physical de-
velopment have unconsciously done
more to solve the woman question than
any other profession. Kissing, not be-
| ing wholesome, is not good form, and
/ that is why the fashionables have de-
| termined not to kiss. The last impor-
tant case of kissing that society can re-
member occurred at the Marlborough
Hamerslcy wedding. 1t was e civil serv-
ice for obvious reasons. Mayor Hew-
/ tit oiIieiated. He was a personal
] friend of the late duke. and an ardent
admirer and intimate friend of the
beautiful Mrs. Hanersley. 1t was the
bridegroom's intention to present him
/ with purse 1Or une purchase VI u
souvenir, but his honor wouldn't have
it. His fee was a kiss from the bride,
and she paid it. In describing it after
ward the duchess of Marlborough said
that she offered her check, but he chose
her lips; and everybody accused his
honor of having taken mean advan-
tage of his position.
The decline of the society kiss began
some time ago. 1t dates from the rise
of the college women's gymnasium
Trainers from Yale and Harvard were
inveigled into lecture courses; Smith
Vassar, Wellesley, Pennington ant
. Ognontz girls went to hear them
and out of these athletic matt
nees grew the physical culture fac
: which has eliminated kissing, head
aches, nerves, fainting spells and hant
shaking to degree. The society gir
: is calm. She has repose. She ha:
powder on her face-lots of ito keel
her cool, and even if she did not con
slider kissing bad form it would ammo,
her to have her complexion mottled.

persecution and Bedouin marauders.
'.The monks within, some twenty or
thirty in number, are uncouth and un-

can be seen in their faces, many of
them repulsive enough. But no visitor
can fail to remember with gratitude
their kindly and unaffected welcome.
Their feelings toward the English
church are most friendly, and if an
English priest is among the travellers
he is taken within the screen and al
lowed to llnecl before the altar, and to
take part in the celebration of the
liturgy. The church is fine basilica,

New Orleans Picayune about Lieut..
John w. Heard, of the Third cavalry,
who is one of the best shots in the
army and has a reputation for personal
bravery which is second to none: Some
time ago he was detailed as quarter

for a good while there had been an
enormous lot of swindling going on
and several ouartermasters had made
a wreck of their regulations. The con-

An Unpopular Woman.

Ex-Empress Eugene has never been
popular in England. She is generally
disliked, partly because she is thought
to be a fanatical Roman Catholic and
partly because she is believed to have
driven her son, the prince imperial, to
self-banishment and death by her harsh
treatment OF him. This charge against
her is distinctly made in Comte d'Her-
rison's book, "The Prince Imperial.
Napoleon w." just published in Paris
He says: after his fathers death all
persons that had been devoted to the
emperor and the young prince were
dismissed; Empress Eugene re-
fused to notice that her son was no
longer child and treated him accord
ingly. The stipend allowed him was
ridiculously small, SO he was forced to
borrow constantly from his compan-
ions. His letters had to pass through
the mothers and the governors hands
before they were delivered with sneer-
ing remarks; in short, the young man
was humiliated by his mother and her
servants constantly and in every way
pOSsible.'

FREEZING BY MACHINES.
An Idea That IL Yet In Its Infancy, Bu
Is of Great Value.

An Idea That IL Yet In Its Infancy, But
Is of Great Value.
The superiority of refrigeration OBJ
tanned by mechanical processes, as
compared with that obtained by melt
ing ice, appears in the facts that by it
more intense cold may be secured,
that any desired degree Of cold may be
maintained with perfect uniformity,
that dryer atmosphere is secured in
the rcfrigerating box or room, that the
inconvenience of frequently replenish-
ing ice bunkers and the slop and dirt
attendant upon this work are avoided,
that the annoying uncertainty OF ice
supply and variability in its price are
avoided, that space in the rooms or
boxes to be cooled is economical by
substitution of coil Of pipe on walls
or ceiling for the bulky ice bunker,
and that this refrigeration can be en-
ployed for many purposes and places
where ice cannot be used at all. Add
ed to all this is the fact, of paramount
Importance, that where much refriger-
alton is required the cost of a machine
and its operation is far less than the
cost Of ice sufficient to do an equal
amount of work.
These advantages have proved so
great in practice that every brewery,
packing house, cold storage warehouse,
or other establishment requiring a
large amount of refrigeration contains
it's individual refrigerating plant.
Where consumption amounts to ten tons
or more of ice daily the question of econ
omy will almost be invariably decided
in favor of the machine; if less than
ten tons be required, the cost of ma
chine and its operation may exceed the
cost of ice sufficient to do a similar
amount of work. In many cases the
| superior quality of the refrigeration
| obtained its cleanliness, reliability and
! convenience, or the requirement o.
more intense cold than ice will pro
duce, secures the adoption of the ma
chine. Therefore, small machines arr
frequently found on shipboard, in no
tells and apartment houses, and il
many manufactures. But most of TIL
ice gathered from rivers and lakes O
made in factories is not consumed b,
the few who require large quantities
but by the many, who severally re
quire less than ten tons day.
The effort to bring this superior re
frigeration within the reach of small
consumers has taken two directions
the production of small and ineXpensiv
automatic machines and a system o
supply of the refrigerant from centra
stations. The first has failed hitherto
because the balance of constantly vary
ing prcsSures, temperatures, strength
