m.bosanv Railroad Cars.

A new train for the Queen Of six
carriages is now in course of construc-
ton at Swindon, England, and its
elaborate internal and external deco
ration is engrossing the attention of
the most expert artists employed by
the Great Western Railway. The only
wood used is mahogany, and the doors
of the Queens carriage are so con-
trived as to allow the entrance of two
attendants, one at either side of her
majesty. 1t is also arranged that the
approach to the royal saloon is to be
on level with the platform, so as to
dispense with any necessity for steps.

HOW MEAT is SLICED:
The People of the World Can Be Classified
by the Way They Do II

A member Of the Professional Wc-
mans League, who has travelled eI-
tensively in foreign lands, said the
other evening that you can classify
the peoples Of the world BY the way
they cut their meat. The powerful
physical nature of the Angle-Sa is
well illustrated by the huge rib roasts
and the immense shoulders OF mutton.
The more artistic nature OF the
Frenchman is shown by his cutting
his meat into thin slices of fillet, into
epigram and into the fillny affairs ne
calls ''rosbif."
The Arab cuts his meat into d thin
ribbon; wraps it around an iron skew
er, broils it over a charcoal fire, and;
10 and behold there is the famous ka.
bob. Strange to say, it is yeryrare for
the Anglo-Saxon to cut his meat thtH,
just as 1t is rare for the eastern races
to serve it in massive portions. Yet
we could improve our daily bill OF
fare, especially in the summer sea-
son, by adopting many. of the dishes
and methods of these other races.
Thus the kabob system may be ap-
Piled to any kind of flesh or fowl, and
produces crisp, palatable and nour-
ishing culinary creation. Another
series of very pleasant dishes are made
by cutting meat into long strips about
the size of q lead pencil and frying
them, after they have been salted
and peppered, in either their own fat
br in olive oil. The liquid should be
very hot before the meat is put in, SO
as to close up all the pores and keep
the juice within the fiber. These PEN
ellis, when cooked properly, are clean,
delicious; brittle and very appetizing.
Still another system comes from Italy
and Spain in that very attractive pre-
paration known as fritas. These con.
, sist of little pieces of meat about the
size of hickory nut. One will bS
made of beef, another of lamb, third
of chicken, fourth of duck, fifth OF
corned beef, sixth of cold beefsteak.
The greater the variety the more sue
cessflT the dish. These pieces are
very we'll seasoned, they being rubbed
with Glove of garlic, salted, peppered,
and usually touched with drop or
two of onion juice. They are then
dipped In batter and fried over very
hot fire. When they come out all
look alike, so that the guest has the,
additional attraction of novelty,
variety and surprise.-New Orleans

Phenomenal Runner.

Maine is proud of a citizen who has
greater speed and more endurance than
q blooded horse. He is Edgar B.
Weleh. He lives in the village of
Webb's Mills, in Casco County, says
the Boston Herald.
Mr.. Welch has lived at Webb Mills
all his life. He is tall, we'll proper
toned and weighs about ITO pounds.
He does most Of his running for the
enjoyment of it. He is eccentric in his
habits, and when the notion to take
trip strikes him he starts, be the time
day or night. On trip to the White
Mountains his favorite dog started to
accompany him, but died OF exhaustion
on the way. =,
Some time ago Welch won race OF
twenty miles against span OF horses
driven by g. G.. Jepson. The race
started at Raymond Village and ended
at the principal street corner in Port
land. Welch was an easy winner, al
though Mr.. Jepson urged his horses
to the greatest speed, and they were
covered with foam when they reached
Portland. Welch was apparently as
fresh as when he started, and seemed
TO be able to make run of twice the
distance.
Though he has phenomenal speed
and endurance, Welch is not a success
in race. Some years ago he entered
twelve-hour race in a rink and took
fourth money, with 611 miles to his
credit. The shouts of the spectators
annoyed him, and he could not bear to
be crowded. When other contestants
came near him he would leave the track
and run along outside, which made the
distance he had to cover considerably
,rreater.

sn,nnnsr Cara Of Blankets.

Blankets after the winter use are lever
clean, and should not be put away without
being washed. Many housekeepers in view
Of the shrinking and discoloring caused
by washing, satisfy themselves with airing
aud shaking their blankets, but this Is
a great mistake, for If the work is prop
erly done the soft appearance and white,
ness may be retained for years.
The most important consideration In
washing blankets is to have plenty Of
soft water and good soap. An inferior cheap
sodp Is really the cause Of the injury done
wooden goods In washing, as 1t hardens and
yelloRs the fibre. When ready to begin the
work, shake the blankets free Of dust, dll
tub nearly full Of soft hot water, and dis
solve third Of cake Of Ivory soap in 1t:
Put one blanket in at time and dip up and
down, gently washing with the hands.
Never rub soap on blankets, or wash
on the washboard. After the blankets
are clean, rinse them in warm water until
free Of suds. Add little bluing to the last
water. Shake and squeeze rather than
wiring, and hang on the line until dry. Then
fold and pack away in d box securely to
exclude the moth. Blankets washed in this
way will keep their original freshness and
wear very much longer than II put away
soiled year after year. ELIZA R. PARKER.

gers in West Virginia have been broken
Four thousand miners along the Norfolk
and Western Railway quit, to- light.
The victory thus achieved by the union

strike. The miners who quit work to-
night dig probably n third of the coal
mined in West Virginia. and the mine.
they closed are at Thatchers, Shamokin,
Maritime. Logan and other small points
along the Kanawha Valley.
Tonight, after the men had completed
their days work, they held a mum ber of
well-attended meetings at various points.
The meetings were addressed by strike
emissaries sent out from Columbus and
P ttsburg. Their success is told in the
large mum ber that willingly voted to throw
down tneir tools and aid the cause of the
strikers. After each meeting vote was
taken and large majority of the men as
sented to the strike proposition.
The developments tonight put a new
phase on the situation in West Virginia.
From being the battlefield of moral suas-
ion the State may become the field o.
strife, for it is announced on sem!-official
authority that the operators will make an
effort to reopen the mines with new men.
In that case che West Virginia militia is

'We had gone on together from Vic
toria," said MIR. Orr. He was young
fellow and 1 was an old man. He didn't
know anything about mining and knew
good deal. There was never a word of
partnership between US, but we were to-
gether and his money was my money and
my money was his money until the day
left But you need not put in anything
about all that"
The partners were grubbing away on
Glacier Creek clearing up the summers
work in Septem Der, when the news OF the
Klondyke discovery spread to them. The
wise old miner had no faith in the report,
but the young fellow obeyed the tingling
in his veins and went while Mr.. Orr went
on to Forty Mile to buy p!ovisions.
The young man located two claims and
bought a half interest in a third, and
journeyed to Forty Mile after his partner.
The old man went and his loyal friend
recognized his half interest in it all.
When spring cams the old man had
chance to sell out his interest in one
claim for $4,000, or whatever it was. and
fortune had come at last. Why should
he toll and grub longer in that wild waste
when comfort was his for the rest of his
evening? He had two other claims to stay
for, but he said, 81 am through now," and
he said good by and good luck TO his
young partner and came down the river
on his way to peaceful anchorage.
He wanted me to stay" said the old
man, 'and he was true blue, but just
told him that was through. He'll come
out with pile of money, and I'll be glad
OF it. It's many a load and days work
he's taken off my back. I've got enough,
and the rest is all his"
