Carrying Molten Metal Five Miles.

Great pots Of molten metal go daily
skimming along the Erie railroad from
the Cleveland Rolling Mills company's
central blast furnace to the Newburp
mills as sedately as if this traffic was of
long standing, says Cleveland letter.
The plan is perfect success 1t takes
just fifteen minutes for the metal, after
it is poured into the big ladle cars, to
reach the mixer in the mills, some five
miles away. Eight trips are made a
day, as follows; At 6:2O, s:2O and 11:eO
In the morning, at 2:10 and 4:1O o'clock
in the afternoon, and three trains at
night. These trips are made at time
when the tracks are practically cleared.
Thus delays are avoided, which would
be expensive, for if long continued the
metal would cool and the purpose of the
special delivery thus be defeated. At
the rolling mills the car is raised on n
hoist to the mixer, the ladle is tipped
by machinery, and the liquid metal
poured into the mixer. Relieved of
their load, the cars amble back to the
furnace at their leisure, in time for the
next trip. About 500 tons of the hot
metal is thus carried every day over
this long railroad route The Cleveland
Rolling Mills company has to pay a
pretty figure for the freightage, 1T is said,
but there is economy in the operation,

was written your name, "Elinor Smith"

writes Ruth Ashmore in Ladies'
Home Journal. Fortunately for YOU,
your hostess saw this and kept you
from making a faux pas. In the place
of these rose-tinted ones, happily con-
signed to their proper resting place, the
wastebasket, you now have rather thin
white cards, almost square, with, as you
the oldest daughter, and as your mid
die name Is your mothers maiden one,

upon them. Your visiting card repre-
scnts you, and consequently it must be
in good taste. This form is desirable
because, seeing it, old friends who knew
your mother as pretty Elinor Chol.
mondeley" will recognize you as her
daughter and make an effort to show
you some special courtesies.
When you make your visits you leave
your card with the lady of the house
and for each daughter who is in society
When you cannot go to a reception
or n tea your cards represent you.
When you do go you leave your card
either with IA servant who holds out a
silver salvcr for it or you put 1t on the
table prepared for cards. This is done
because, seeing many people, your
friend may not remember all who were
there, and the little bits of thin paste
board tell of her visitors and warn her
of those to whom she owes either a
personal visit or a return card. You
called one day on friend who lives
very quietly, and who opened the door
for you. For her card must be left
also, and as you are bright girl you
can either do it before her, reminding
her that you do not. intend to let her
forget you came to see her, or you can
leave it in the hall when you are
alone, for your hostess does not accom-
pany you further than the drawing
room door.

than a moment to demolish the entire
structure, but it's fad-and there you
are!
Have you noticed that the end
of-the-century girl lives, moves and has
her being with her arms akimbo? II
you haven't, it will be impressed
upon you this summer. Whether she
sleeps in that attitude Is a question
none can answer but that especial
cherub who watches over the slumber
of summer girls.
She keeps at least one arm akimbo
at all times during her waking hours
She dimes with her left hand planted
firmly against her belt, and she enters
the surf in the same manner. 1t has
become quite as popular as the dudes
habitual hand in his trousers pocket.
When she sits on the piazza with
the summer man, and listens to the
soft nothings he whispers in her ear,
her eyes may look pensively off to the
sea or to some sun-kissed mountain
peak In the distance, but her arm will
retain It's angular attitude, and if it
is pretty arm it will impress its
ever.
Perhaps the wickedest fad of this
season is the little silver brandy flask
which has place in the end-of-the cell
tury girls outfit 1t holds about two
gills, and costs somewhere in the neigh
borhood of twenty dollars. Sometimes
there is monogram in gems upon the
stopper, and some have merry little
sentiments inscribed upon them. Very
swagger girls have them In gold, and
these cost RS much apiece as Worth
dress, If there are any diamonds on
them. Old-fashioned people may ele-
vate their eyebrows when the girl in
the next chair in the drawing-room
car takes one of these from her trav-
cling bag and tips 1t to her cherry lips,
but that is the correct caper this year
This seasons girl buys her collars
and cuffs by the dozen. They are
made to button to her shirt waists and
wristbands in exactly the same fash
ion as her brothers, and she knows
just how 1t feels to have her collar
button slip down her spine and her
collar flap up against the back of her
ears. But it's "faddy," so it's all right
These are just few of the fetching
little belongings and ways with which
95's summer girl will captivate crea-
ton. She has lot more that she will
spring upon unsuspecting masculine
humanity later on in the season; but
these mentioned are already in work

Dainty Table Appointments.

However simple the bill of fare, the
table appointment should always be
clean and inviting. With little care
directed toward removing spot when
1t appears, tablecloth may be used to
serve for several occasions, and remain
spotlessly clean; while rumpled nap
kin or a coffee stail upon the table
cloth is accountable for many an un-
eaten breakfast and many a sick head
ache. The center of the table should
always be occupied with some refresh
ing plant or flower 1t may be fern
or slender rose in its swaying vase,
but whatever it is it will act as an ap-
pctizcr and tonic. A crisp bowl of let
tuce or dish of fresh radishes helps
out the effect of the floral decoration.

We carry at all times a large

STARVING ON BEEF TEA.

Likely to Disturb Many Old-Time Cher

1t is generally believed that beef tea
and animal broths of all kinds are
nourishing. The most recent medical
authorities assure us that this is a mis-
take. In order to combat what it calls
1.-THE BeefTea Delusion," Modern Med
icine publishes an article consisting
largely of quotations from a high mod
ern authority. We reproduce several
paragraphs below:
1.-THE late DR.. Austin Flint remarked
on one occasion that thousands of pa
tients have been starved to death while
being fed on animal broths, beef tea
etc. No error could be greater than
the notion very commonly held by the
laity, and still quite too largely enter
tanned by the members of the medical
profession, that beef extracts, beef tea
bouillon, animal broths, etc, are pecul-
iarly nourishing in character. We can
adduce no better evidence to the con-
trary than is afforded by the following
paragraphs from 'Bunge's Physiological
and Pathological Chemistry, one of the
latest and most reliable authorities:
1--WE must guard against supposing
that meat bouillon possesses strength
ening and nourishing influence. In re-
gard to this, the most delusive notions
are entertained not only by the general
public, but also by medical men.
"'Until quite recently the opinion
was held that bouillon contained the
most nutritve part of meat. There
was confused idea that minute auan-
tity of material-a plateful of bouillon
can be made from teaspoonful of meat
extract-could yield an effectual source
of nourishment, that the extractives of
meat were synonymous with concen.
trated food.
"'Let us inquire what substances
could render bouillon nutritious. The
only article of food which meat Yields
to boiling water is gelatine. 1t Is well
known that albumen is coapulated in
boiling, the giycogen of meat is RAPIDLY
converted into sugar, and this again
into Tactic acid. The quantity of gela-
