Eight Engines Ordered.

The Santa company has placed an
order for eight ten-wheel passenger en-
gines with the Dickson locomotive
works of Oswego, N. Y, to be built es-
pecially for haullpg heavy trains at
greater rate of speed than the ordinary
ten-wheel engine.
The first of the new engines will be
sent west early in August and the re-
naming seven will be completed inside
of two months from that time.
The new engines will be placed in
service on the western and New Mex
lean divisions of the Santa E'e, where
heavy engines are needed on account
OF the mountain grades. In their con-
struction it is hoped to put together
locomotives which although OF ponder
Gus weight and adapted to mountain
elm bing, can yet attain a remarkably
fast rate of speed. The engines will
probably be used exclusively IN hand
ling the through California traics.
With one of the new engines General
Superintendent Nudge will probably
next fall attempt to break the world s
record for fast running on the STR TIC
of track from La Juuta to Dodge City.

Great Waste of Good Food.

seThe most conspicuous thing in al
of nv travels?n remarked the globe
trotter to N. Y. Herald interviewer.
.'Well, I've been pretty much over the
world in my time, and L We seen gu tie
a bit: but [ know | shall astopish you
when | say that the thing which has
IMPRESSED me most is the economy of
food abroad and the waste of food at
home.
Understand all this statement i'm
plies. Absolutely nothing is thrown
away or wasted in continental Europe.
And the economy OF food is more
marked in China, Japan and the Asia
tic countries. There is no doubt in my
mind but that we in the United States
waste more food in year than is con-
sumed in France in the same time.
What a single New York servant slams
into the garbage barrel every week
would support dozen Chinese famil-
les And yet our own Leop.e are al
WAYS compla ming of hard times. and
| are always making wry faces about
getting along in the world.
This waste begins at the very foun-
dations of our society and business,
and runs all the way up The Ameri-
can farmer is q man who has burned OF
great tracts of valuable timber worth
| five mes the land on which it grew,
TO raise grain to burn for frewOod
| That land today Is but half titled, TAX
ing the fields of Germany and other
European countries into the COMPARE
son. Until very recently all the re-
fuse about m lis and manufactures
was destroyed: now many of them turn
their slabs into furniture and their
sawduet into fuel. Again as to food.
ANYBODY who has travelled much anC
knows what sort Of food one gets in the
south and west-anywhere outside O.
the big eastern cities-will appreciate
it when 1 say that at least one-half the
food is wasted. This is partly through
bad cookery and partly through mere
wasteful management. All food no
assimilated is wasted, worse than vast
ed, for it wears the system out to M
purpose. The common hotel and fam
, lily cookery make assimilation practi
, cally impossible. So much for what il
eaten. That which is actually thrown
awsy would feed millions, IS It coul'

Mileage Changes.

A Southern Pacific circular just out
says: Commencing July l. 1897, the
charge for 3O00-mile tickets will be $50
INSTEAD of $50. The increase in the
charge THAT is, S15) will be returned
to the original purct aser Of each
such ticket after IL has been properly
used for 5000 miles of train passage
covered thereby, upon the return to
this office Of the cover and contract OF
each such book.
There will also be charge of $40 for
1O0O-mile tickets as sold Subject to ter
ritorial limit. The increase in the
charge $50 to be returned to the pur-
chaser under conditions similar to
those provided for in rebates on the
3OOO-mile tickets.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1897-06-16

The ticket Will be on sale June 18Th,
10th and 2Ist, and will be good for re-
turn within ten days from date OF sale.
And additional limit of ten days Tor
return, making twenty days in all, will
be afforded by the purchaser OF the
ticket depositing it with the agent In
Nashville of the L. 81 N. r. r, which
agent will give receipt, which is to
be surrendered by the passenger with
in the required limit for the ticket to
be returned with the necessary extern
sion made on IL.
The Southern Pacific route affords
the unusual advantage of two trains
daily, making connection with tne
l.. & N. r r. at New Orleans directly,
without the necessity OF a bus transfer,
the L. & n. train passing through the
Southern Pacific depot grounds, and
having representatives, ticket and pas
senger, on hand to serve the wants and
necessities of passengers.
Ample accOmmOdat atoms in sleepers
and in day coaches will be furnished,
so that there will be no crOwding or
discomforts.
If it develops that the business will
warrant our making the arrangements,
solid special train will be started out
from Houston, running through to
Nashville without change.
The sponsor for the state with her
maids of honor will use the Southern
Pacific route, leaving Houston on the
