u,altbfu,ness of Powder worke

Apart from the dangers of explosion
which, by the way, are less frequen'
than is generally supposed, gunpowdei
mills are exceedingly healthful places.
Such thing as n workman dying from
consumption is unheard of, the expla-
nation being that the constant breath
ing into the lungs Of dust containing
charcoal. sulphur and saltpetre is ben
pfcial to them. Even horses employed
in gunpowder mills are found to be fat
ter and sleeker than those from the
same stable worked elsewhere.

HOW TWO GIRLS MADE MONEY.

GA country girl who is determined
to go to Paris tc study art is laying
aside for this purpose each dollar she
has earned" writes Ruth Ashmore in
an article on "The Girl IN the Coun-
try" in the Ladies' Home Journal.
"She found that there was no one else
in the village who could make as good
bread and biscuit as she; that those
who had to buy complained of the
bakers bread. She made no effort at
sending her bread to woman's ex-
change, as she knew that such places
were always overstocked, but she went
through her own town-a very small
one-and asked for orders. She is
making money because there has never
been sad loaf of bread or heavy
biscuit sent ont from her kitchen. She
will supply a neighbor with hot bis
cults at tea time. and she has learned
to make dainty rusk, especially for in
valids, who enjoy these light, sweet
dainties. Her prices are reasonable.
another girl, ambitious to gain
something, got her father to let her
have q bit of ground, and to give her
the money that he would otherwise
have bestowed upon her for wedding
dress. With this she was able to buy
plants and to hire boy to help her,
and during the summer, while the
boarding houses around demanded
them, she served the freshest of rad
ishes, the crispest of lettuce, the ear
Hest corn and the largest tomatoes,
and she says now that she will double
the size OF her garden next summer.

VIOLET A FASHIONABLE COLOR.

Violet remains one of the fashiona,
BILE colors Of the season. Every mag
Unable tint and tone of the deep, rich
shade is worn, and it is wonderfully
becoming to clear, fair, rosy com
plexions, and the soft brown and
golden hair one is always ready to
admire. II is said to be the young
Czarina' S favorite flower, and during
her recent visit to London and Paris
she wore them on almost every occa-
sion. The fragrant blossoms are as
fashionable as the color, and the reign
of violets is one of the loveliest Dame
Fashion has ever given.

rubbed while writing or moving

Sunday going to church, four months
of the time, three miles in the coun-

you would rub your solled hands.

have darned and put in one or two
new fingers at the very close OF the

tabl1sh certain number of designated
streets. The extra fare of 5 cents will
apply only to the through cars, the 10

Wild Time on Payne Avenue Sat.
urGay Night

The residents in the vicinity Of Payne
avenue and York street were treated
to a shooting affray Sunday evening,
but no one was hurt. The parties to
the affair We're Poundmasters WEIGH
and Hammergreen, who laid aside their
chase after cows for the time being
and devoted themselves to chasing
"schooners" and "snitts" in the saloons
along Payne avenue. That they were
successful those who witnessed their
actions are certain. Both men were
in full uniform and made a show Of
themselves, winding up by discharging
their revolvers just to make things
lively. The regular police hustled to
the scene and after dispensing the
crowd, had the twain taken to their
homes. Several of the citizens who
watched the antics of the officers made
ali kinds of talks yesterday about the
necessity of the police officials taking
some action, and threatened to lay the
matter before the mayor Mayor
Doran seen last evening, said no report
of the affair had reached him as yet,
but if the facts were as stated he would
see that an investigation was made.

SEBASTIAN TICKET
1t Will Probably BE Adopted by the
Western Roads.

CHICAGO, Aug. 16-Commercial
travellers in the territory west of Chi
cago are likely to soon secure a long
fought for concession from the Western
roads in the form of a 1000 mile inter-
changeable ticket, good over twenty
eight different railroad systems. A
subcommittee Of the Western Passen-
ger association will meet in Chicago
tomorrow and recommend the adoption
of such a ticket. The Sebastian form
will probably be adopted. 1t consists
of five coupons. The first of these is
returned by the station agent, the sec
ond goes to the passenger, the third
contains the purchasers signature to
the contract, which provides that a
rebate of 1 cent a mile is to be paid
as soon as the 1000 miles have been
travelled, the fourth coupon goes to the
auditing department Of the railroad
making the sale, and the fifth is in a.
convenient form for the traveller to
record his purchases. The ticket pro-
vides for immediate refund, does away
with Identification of holders on trains
precludes the use of the tickets by
scalpers and protects employers against
dishonesty inclined employees. It Is
proposed to have a Chicago bank issue
a coupon book for $25, containing rs
cent coupons. Those coupons will be
accepted by the railroads as pay in
the purchase of mileage strips.
