OIL ON TRACKS.
Successfully Used for Laying Dust on
Jersey Railroad.

Oil for laying dust on track ballasted
with gravel and cinders is being used
on the West Jersey and Seashore rail
road. j. II. Nichols, assistant en-
gineer, says this plan has passed the
experimental stage, and that they are
only awaiting the completion of car
for distributing the oil mechanically
to cover all dusty places on the road.
At the present time there are about
four miles of track so treated. The
rails are kept clean by means of n
shield The result obtained is a COM
plete( freedom from dust at points
which were formerly the most dusty
on the division. The spraying will be
required but once q season after the
renewal of ties.
When it becomes necessary to dis
turb the track for repairs it will prob
ably be necessary to spray again, but
it Is thought that after not more than
three applications the ballast will be
impregnated with oil to n sufficient
depth to render subsequent treatment
unnecessary. The oil is of n special
kind, having two properties fitting it
for this use. First, it is penetrating
and tenacious, and, second, it is not
combustible as used, but can only be
burned by converting it into a spray
almost resembling gas in fineness. 1t
is almost without volatile ingredients
and has therefore but little odor, and
that not of an unpleasant character,
even when first applied, and this odor
decreases on exposure. The oil can be
distributed in place at a total cost of
less than $50 per mile of single track.

THE NAUGHTY DAME.
How n Young Man Got Even with HeI
for Rudeness.

How n Young Man Got Even with Her
for Rudeness.
She was tall woman and somewhat
angular, Her clothes were in the ex-
treme of fashion and her big summer
hat was alive with nodding flowers.
There were traces about her of former
beauty, but most of them were only
dimly reminiscent. She walked the
streets as if she held the deeds of them
in her white-gloyed hand, and people
looked after her in profound wonder.
When she reached Pittsburgh station
at Euclid avenue she failed to notice
the ting-ting-ting of the bell which
warningly heralds the closing of the
safety gates, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. She stalSed steadily forward
and the bar which falls across the
sidewalk was descending directly above
her devoted head. A half dozen people
called to her. A policeman shouted.
She never turned her nodding head
gear. Then, just as the descending tim
Der touched her hat man sprang for
ward, caught her by the arm and pulled
her aside, the heavy bar grazing her as
IL descended.
Sir" she cried, "what do you mean
by this rudeness?"
IL beg your pardon, ma'am," said the
stranger, II simply endeavored to save

The policeman bowed deferentially.
"You will excuse me, too, ma am" he
said, "but the young man used no more
roughness than was necessary to save
you from bad thump on the head"
II will report you for impudence,"
said the tall dame. with whitening
look at the policeman. Then she turned
again to the young man. LET this be
n lesson to you," she said, "and never re-
peat the offense"
The young man lifted his hat.
MADAM" he said, 81 trust that moth
ing will make me forgetful Of the duty

FUN AT A RAT" PARTY.
The Latest Social Fad Over in Pres.

TON COunJy.
The latest diversion in back woods
society in Preston county, says the
kingswOod Argus, il "Rat" party.
a minister who travels through the
mountains says that they had q par
ty on this line recently at Billy
HartselPs. He lives out ON Huckle-
berry Ridge, near Hard Scrabble,
and had lively time at their ''Rat"
party. The mOdus operandi is as
follows:
They catch rat in trap and
then invite the young folks of both
sex to move everything out of the
room, leaving nOthing whatever for
the rat to hide under and no place
for it to escape. Then the girls are
all invited into the room, pTesum.
ably for a dance. The boys are
there also, Of course, and while some
one locks and bars the door the rat
is let out IN the midst of the crowd
and the fun begins. The girls can
scream and jump and kick, but they
cannot escape. No one il allowed
TO kill the rat and they simply run
1t down, unless the shrieks of the
affrighted females scare the rat to
death before that.
Parties who have witnessed this
late fad in red-brush social circles
are a unit in declaring that it beats
the high kicking of the ''Black
Crook" or any ballet dancing ever
seen on the vaudeville stage. II il
hard to tell which is scared the more,
the rat or the girls. Both make
frantic attempts to climb up the
sides of the room, and the pair will
