There is an old saying that one new

till he sees her i'll n moment of danger
and seldom then. might well be ad-
ded, says the San Francisco Post.
A couple Of 70 ing ladies' were ON top
of the Mills building yesterday. One
walked boldly to the very edge of the
roof and gazed steadily into the street
below without the thrill of q nerve or
the culver of muscle.
Brave girl, that" observed the sig
nal officer. "Stout-heartcd and fear
less. She'll make some man a good
wife. Huh! Look Mt that other ono"
he exclaimed in disgust, as the stout
hearted girls companion shrank back
and cried Historically:
"Oh, hold ON. want to jump off,"
"What a little fool" said the signal
officer. "a baby to be pettcd. Wants
to jump off! You couldn't pull her Off
there with yoke Of oxen"
They were just starting down the
narrow stairway when some one
shouted:
"There's mouse"
The brave girl who had stood un-
fiinchfng at the edge Of the high roof
let out q wild scream and rolled to the
bottom of the stairs, while her COM
panion laughed till she was almost
hysterical.
"Girls are oil foolsw declared the

Electricitx 4. Japan.

American electrical engineers will
do well to open their eyes to the I'D
rantages now offered by japan as q
field for electrical work. The CORE
spondcnt Of IN electrical journal, who
has recently returned from q visit to
the East, emphasizes the need of cleo.
trical railways in Japan. He is Ger.
tan, to begin with, that an electrical
railroad on the fourteen miles be.
tween Yokohama and Toxic, passing
through q thickly-populated district,
would pay. At present Toxic, which
has over 100000 Inhabitants, has no
electric road, and there is not single
street car line in Yokohama. The
town Of Osaka, in the central part Of
the empire, presents another admira.

way and is sixteen miles from the
coast. It is now connected by rail-
way with Kobe, which in 1890 had
10000 inhabitants. An electric rail.
way between these towns would prove
remunerative undertaking. A line
from Osaka to Kioto, q great city,
which was formerly the capital Of
Japan, via Kobe. would touch villages
at almost every mile of its course,
and would accommodate population
Of fully 100000 people. The Japan
ese are great travellers. They make
long excursions over the country to
visit the most sacred Buddhist tenn.
pies and Shinto shrines, and the roads
pre- often tlronged with families 60
Ing from one sacred place to another.
The electric lines would pick up
many parties out on these trips of
combined religion and pleasure. The
chances for electric lighting in Japan
IRE quite as good "a those Of electric
railroading.

for this purpose has proved exceeding.
~ satisfactory. The State Of New
York has tried 1t, and so far as It has
gone, is pleased with the experiment.
We have been urging for years the
employment of c0nvicts ON the roads;
and II the proposition had not every.
thing to recommend 1t, and IL 1t were
not plainly practical, 1t is probable
that the legislatures of different states
would have acted favorably upon II

appears to hate to do anything that Ia
recommended by common sense. In
every state there is an army Of con.
victs, and their employment Is usually
q bone of contention. But every state
has thousands Of miles Of road that
need improving. The labor agitator,

not do 1t, and even the common libor

Electric soldering irons are rapidly

In IN instant by inserting the termi.

current in the handle of the iron, and
bill the trouble of making and main.
tanning fire Is saved. The iron IL
provided with interchangeable copper
tips, so TINT when one becomes worn
mother can be substituted ut slight
cost. The case and rapidity with
which electric heating can be effected
are bringing this class of apparatus
forward not only In the Industries,
but In the domain Of domestic econ
pny. One Of its most popular forms
ls the electric curling iron heater.
The heater Is suspended from IN or
binary electric light socket, thus
avoiding damage to furniture which
might possibly be caused by I'M ap-
paratus mounted on a stand and set
Oh table or stand. This appliance is
now very much used by ladies' in
travelling. The connection is made in
q moment, and there is no necessity
for strlnging a long, flexible cord to
the table. In order to obtain the high.
est economy tho heating resistnce is
inserted in the curling tongs; this in
sures the application Of the heat ut
exactly the right place, and when the
tongs are ready for use, which takes
about half minute, the current is
gradually reduced by means of
conpensating resistance. The regu-
lation Of the heat Is thus entirely
within the control Of the person using
the iron. The electric curling iron ia
the only appliance yet devised that
will effect its purpose without rum
ming the risk Of burning the hair.

Healthy English Women

When an American girl first goes
to London she is little disappointed
In the appearance of her British sisters
They seem heavier, slower and less
graceful than her own sex at home.
Before long however, she notices some
other things which largely change her
opinion. These seemingly slow wom-
en- think nothing of walking their
eight or ten miles day, and then
manifest no exhaustion, or even fatig-
ue. An Englisllwoman Of wealth will
work, and work hard, in her garden,
among her fruits and flowers. or in
her greenhouse, where an American
woman leaves it entirely to her gar-
dcnar: The hard physical labor may
injure the skin Of the forearm and rem
der its less alabaster-like than what
most bellies desire, but it developes the
muscles Of the arm, chest and back,
and produces physical beauty, and
magnificance, which, common in Eng.
land, Is very uncommon ut home. The
so-called Langtry back, over which
American girls rave, may be secured
by any healthy woman who will work
two hours day among the flower.
beds.
Still another point which I noticed
and enjoyed on my recent visit to
England was the simple practice of eat

when you are dry. Whenever called

seems to be the most prominent.
Many experiments have been made
