PRACTICAL. MEN WANTED
NEPoTIsM CUTS NO FIGURE NOW IN
OFFICERING RAILWAYS.
Ford Wood, of the Big Four, Says
tained-The Panhandle Report.

A well-informed railway official holding
en- important position on one of the In
dianapols lines. in conversation yesterday
remarked that a spirit of common sense
was beginning to prevail in railway mat
tiers; the time had come when practical
railway men were wanted to handle rail-
way properties, and relationship is not an
important factor. Old friendships do not
influence directors presidents and general
managers in the selection of subordinates
to operate road 1t is the well-informed
railroad man who can manage men, avoid
friction, move business promptly and at
the same time economically that is seldom
out OF position 1.-THE time was" said
the speaker when superintendent first
saw that his own relatives were provided
with positions before any one else could
get d job; no matter how incompetent the
relative might be, he was appointed; but
such methods of operating railroads are
past, and now it is the man best fitted for
the position who is in demand. One reason
OF this is that a majority of the roads are
under different ownerships than twenty
five years ago, and the owners desire that
the lines be operated economically and earn
fixed charges and pay dividends. Another
good feature of the present day is the prac-
tice, which now predominates with all first
ever opportunity offers when they are ca
pable of the higher duties. This acts as a
stimulus to an employe. He feels that he
is in the line of promotion

are again being cut in the West, an official
of the Joint Traffic Association said at New
York yesterday that, to the best of his

the general conditions are better than for
more than a year past. At the same time
it is admitted that the conditions west of
Chicago are not so favorable. Grain rates
from ST Louis to Minneapolis and Chicago
have been reduced to 8 cents, and report
has it that provision rates have been cut
to 10 cents. These points are not in Joint

 What will Russia be when it attains it's full growth? A French publication calls attention to the remarkable in- crease in its population during recent years. The number of inhabitants in 1857 was estimated at 67,000,000; it is now fully 130,00O,000. It is calculated that in 1910 it will have reached 150,- 000,000; between 1880 and 1940, 200,000,- 900; and at the end of the twentieth century, SOOOOO,OOO. The difference in density between the populations of western Europe and of Russia is de- creasing every day. It is true that the last census gives to Russia in Europe only 51 inhabitants per square mile, while in France there are 1S3, in Ger many 235 in England S16, in Belgium 51S. But to find this average immense deserts in the north and south are in cluded. In the habitable districts a much higher average is attained-9 to IA in Muscovy, 1S1 to 194 in Poland, 194 to 207 in the greater part of the basin of the Dnieper. The urban population in creases even faster. St. Petersburg has already 1,267,0OO souls, Moscow 5000, Warsaw 614,000. After these three cap itals appear two cities which have grown with wonderful rapidity-Odessa with 404 ,000 and Lodz with 314,000. Next come Riga with 2S2,OOO, Kieff with 2SO,- 900. and twelve other cities with more than 100000 inhabitants, that is, six more than in France. In twenty years the urban population has doubled. Ger tain cities like Ekaterinoslav have dou- bled in much less time. St. Petersburg, probably, will soon be surpassed by Moscow. which has the advantages of a central situation and an immense railroad system, Outside the district of Moscow, which has special condi- tions, the neighboring provinces, Volog- da, Kostroma, Orel and others, have gained in eleven years only 10000 to 100000. On the other hand, the prov inces of the former kingdom of Poland have gained 100000 inhabitants. An almost equal gain is noticeable in the Cossack regions of the Don. Further south the districts of the Caucasus have advanced from 7,284,O0 to 9,723,- GOO; those of the steppe, between the southern Ural and the Altai, from D. 567,0O0 to 3,415oO0; and Turkestan and the Transcaspian district from 2,759,O00 to 4,175, ,OOO

HOW A LOOKING GLASS IS MADE

HOW A LOOKING GLASS IS MADE
 Flow is a looking glass made?' was the question recently put by a writer for "The Star to a large manufacturer of mirrors in New York.
 Well" replied the manufacturer. most of the glass used in this trade is prepared for us at moulding factory, and we merely cut, bevel and silver it in our works. All the bowels are cut in the same way, first with sand and water, then on an emery wheel and af- terward put through several processes to bring back the polish.
 Great improvements have been made in this line of business in the last sixteen years. Formally it took two or three days from the time work was begun on a mirror before 1t could be finished Nowadays we can get the glass in the morning and make 1t into a looking-glass perfectly finished and ready for sale before night. We make all sizes, from the smallest hand glass of 2 by 4 inches to a mirror 10 by20 feet, or even larger, and we have q capacity of turning out three thousand feet day.
 Not many years age the backs of mirrors were stained with mercury, now sheets of pure silver are used in stead Tn old looking glass reflected 60 or65 percent of the light that fell upon it, the modern mirror reflects nearly 95 percent. The mercury look ing-g glass was very liable to rub off, heat and cold also affected it; the quicksilver would crack or melt and thus the beauty of the glass would be spoiled. None of these dangers threat en the silvered mirror. Beside mirrors, those engaged in this line of business cut great deal of bevelled glass for this is largely taking the place Of stained glass.''-The Washington Star.

The czar's peace plan doesn't seem to be making much progress. It is re- membered that at the opening of the Crystal Palace exhibition, nearly half century ago. Prince Albert told the world that this exhibition heralded the dawn of peace; that thereafter the dogs of war would never be let loose. This was in 1851. Yet in 1854 England waged war against Russia; in 1856 she waged war against China; in 1856 she waged war against Persia; in 1857 she made blood run like water in India, crushing the mutiny there; in 1859 France, Italy and Austria became engaged in war; in 1861 the United States entered upon the bloodiest civil war ever known to the world; in 1866 Prussia vanquished Austria; in 1867 England began her war against Abyssinia; in 1870 France and Germany engaged In their bloody struggle; in 1874 England waged war against the Ashantees; in 1877 Russia and Turkey went to war; in 1879 Eng land began her Zulu war; in 1882 Eng land bombarded Alexandria and in vaded Egypt; in 1883 Chile and Peru were at war; in 1883 the French were at war in Tonking; in 1894, China and Japan went to war; in 1896 Greece and Turkey were at war; in 1898 the Unit ed States went to war with Spain.

 A LOST ART UNDISCOVERED.
Secret of Egyptian Embalming Found

Secret of Egyptian Embalming Found
 by West Virginian.
 To%n Ho mricl O. Barbour County W. Va, has discovered the lost art of !lsypo4o4i emba ming. Hamrick is a plain, unpretentious mountaineer far- mer, who lives ten miles from Prunty- town. He is peculiar man. but always receives visitors with cordial politeness and takes pains to make their calls both pleasant and profit able. His visitors number among the hundreds each year, many of whom come from the large cities to see his queer museum of human curiosities and make him tempting offers for his secret. But he will not give it up, and fortable way, with his wife as his sole companion. He devotes the whole of his winters to his embalming experi- ments.
 Some of the facts about this man S discovery have been published at ran dom in the country press, but the stories have been disbelieved because of their vagueness. No writer can do justice to the facts in any description of this queer mans home or Of his fas- cinating and instructive conversation
 His home is carpeted with the wild- cat fox, coon and bear,all embalmed. From the time you enter the house you step noiselesly about from room to room upon the skins of these beasts which have been preserved by Ham, rick with his compound. The furs re- tain their natural appearance, being very smooth and glossy. The skin remains soft and pliable. He says that his treatment of an animal lasts only twenty hours, when it is then in state of perpetual preserva- ton.
 The first thing that greets the eye upon entering the house is a magnifi- cent peacock, with his brilliant plum

 Hats are set away back from the forehead in a manner quite as pro- nounced as that of the recent down. tipped models. Yet she who desires that her hair shall show in front of her hat brim need not feel that her hat must not begin urtil the crown of her head is reached. Her headgear will an- swer the demand if it sets no further back than does this pictured one. Ruby velvet was arranged over wire frame for this hat, and for trimming there were a large ostrich feather in natural colors and bow of ruby satin ribbon Harmony with the gown the hat &C., companied was secured, as will be seen from it's details. Of beige cloth, it's skirt ruffles, double basque and vest fronts were edged with ruby velvet ribbon, rich white lace facing the re- vers.
 Handkerchiefs in regular gingham plaids and checks bordered with hem of solid color to match the plaid's dark shade are shown. If a well dressed woman never wears anything but per fectly simple white handkerchief, these must seem vulgar, but they are at tractive for tucking in the belt, dress front or little flat pocket of a tailor jacket. Having purchased some, you will realize that only very few and very well dressed women display this point of check and border in the jacket pock- ct. Then you'll guess it was a good idea to buy them and demand to know who said they were vulgar.
