 The lives of young women are often wrecked because of mistaken sense of modesty, which leads them to neglect the earlier symptoms of feminine weakness. These troubles unless corrected, develop into serious chronic difficulties which be come dragging burden. running 1ife's best opportunities and blighting all possibility of happy wifehood and motherhood.

BIGGEST OF LOCOMOTIVES.

The American Manufacturer says Of
this engine: "The enormous business
which this locomotive is designed to
handle can be appreciated to the best
advantage only by one who is familiar
with the conditions at Pittsburg. The
railway traffic last year was 36.679, ,415
tons, exclusive of freight in transit,
and of this amount 22,543,340 tons were
OF iron, steel, ore and merchandise.
1O.500,O00 tons were of coal, and 1885,
075 tons were Of coke. The total num-
ber of cars engaged in this business
was 1,547,167, the largest cars up to
1893 holding twenty-five tons. Now
that the 50-ton steel cars are to be
used, it became necessity to have a
very heavy and powerful locomotive.
and the one illustrated is the largest,
heaviest and most powerful ever con-
structed"

by Their Owners.
The lady who cares as much for her
dog as for her saIins and laces takes
as much care in the ornamentation of
the one as she does with the other.
While she buys yards of lace and passe-
menteries and ribbons for her gowns,
varying them according to the changes
of fashion, she procures the latest
novelties in collars, blankets, chains,
baskets. and cushions for her dog. Not
long ago fashions in blankets for small
dogs were made OF smooth material
with hemmed edges and were tied with
small knots OF ribbon to hold them
on. The house blanket and the street
blanket was made in the same way.
But now all that has changed. The
house blanket is made of light material
of gay color. mostly pink, blue or
white. and tied with huge knots of a
different shade and with ribbon edge.
These are made very loose and easy
for "lounging" in the cold winter days
to come. The blanket for street is
tight and of black or scarlet, accord

HEAT FRQM ELECTRIC LloHr.
Lamp Can set lnnanmable
Fabrics Ahlase Quickly.

Incandescsnt Lamp Can set Innanmabie
Fabrics Ablase Quickly.
Perhaps 1t is not generally known
that the incandescent electric lamp Is
essentially device which transforms
electricity into light, but mostly into
heat, says the New York Press. AS
is well known, the carbon filament of
the lamp Is a substance Offering great
resistance to. the passage Of the cur
rent, and the product of this resistance
Is light and heat. 1t Is nm instance of
the translation of one form Of energy
into another The light thus produced
is, after all, only a small percentage of
the energy manifested-some or G
per cent. at the most.
The fact is important, bearing In
mind a common notion that the electric
incandescent lamp is free from the
heat rays. 1t is true that the lamp
when working, is not comparable with
a flame of naked light, but at the same
time the heat evolved is such as may
lead to ignition. This point is deserv-
ing of emphasis, because the incandes-
cent electric lamp is used for purposes
Of illumination in shops without re-
gard to the possibility-even probabil-
ity-of fancy goods which happen to
be contiguous being fired
Indeed, SO firm is the idea that the
incandescent electric lamp is free from
heat that 1t is frequently to be found
buried In mass of easily ignited and
highly infiammable material. This Is
mistake, and care should be exercised
with the electric lamp in its applica-
tion in this connection. But, of course,
/ the risk is not so great as where naked
lights are employed. 1t has been found
by experiment that, on immersing
sixteen-candle-power lamp 600 volts
pressure) in half u pint Of water, the
water boils within an hour and in pro-
pOrtionately less time when n thirty
candle-power lamp is substituted.
If, again, the lamp is buried in cotton
wool, the wool soon begins to scorch,
and ultimately bursts into flame. In
one experiment which was tried this
bursting into flame was accompanied
by loud report, due to the explosion
of the lamp. 1t clearly appears from
this that the incandescent electric
lamps cannot be regarded as IN I'M
likely means of starting n serious fire,
and shopkeepers, especially those who
exhibit highly infiammable fabrics,
should know that there is risk in plac-
ing such goods too close to a lamp.

rings Come In Again.
Earrings form a more interesting
atuhy than the average man or woman
suspects. They have been worn from
time immemorial. Probably this is the
FIRST occasion in the history of the
world that they have been generally
out of fashion. But earrings are still
worn in regions that are happily be-
yond the sphere OF fashions jurisdic-
tion. Indeed. many of these ladies go
one better than their civilized sisters
they wear nose rings as we'll. For
decorative purposes. however, the ear
has always first place in the estima-
tion of ladies', who have never been
content to leave the lily unpainted.
The wearing Of the earring is really
a legacy of barbaric days. Even at
the present time in several semi-civ-
ilized tribes, the custom prevails Of
subjecting an infant. when only a few
days old, to species of torture in Or
der that the child may wear GER
tain peculiarly shaped earring. The
lobes of the baby's ears are slit and
q small weight attached. This causes
the lobe to droop. and round the form
alton is fastened long. hollow rim
of whatever metal the parents can at
ford to buy. Happily this cruel system
is confined to races that as yet have
but seen the dawn of civilization. One
OF the greatest authorities In London
on earrings is Mr.. II. Stapleton. For
years he has made this a study and
business. Moreover he has applied an
inventive faculty to designing new
ways for ornamenting the ear, the OBJ
ject being to avoid the pain Of piercing
the lobe, but his great aim is to make
the embellished ear thing OF beauty.
Mr.. Stapleton believes that he has now
accomplished that end. He has patent
ed an ornament which covers the
whole Of the bottom part OF the ear,
and curves some distance around the
Nange, SO to speak. Then. again. the
ornament has no pin. consequently the
ear needs no piercing. This new de-
parture In jewelry is provided with
gem studded screw. which causes a
clasp to grip the ear. and when proper
