seeded everything heretofore used, or
known to science in the laundry art.

wife has adorned the walls of the home

Motto of the Siamese Nation.

Have you heard the motto Of The govern
ment of Siam? And having heard it, have
you repeated it? And having repeated it,
have you caught its purely personal appli-
cation? And having caught it, have you
tried it on your friends? This is the motto:
"Ah Wa Ia Mas SIAM" 1t sounds unintel.
ligible nonsense, but keep saying it over as
you will discover at last that the eastern
patois has western sense that aptly CLASH
fies many remorseful subject of Uncle Sam.
For "Ah Wa Ia Mas Siam" is easily evolved
into "Ah, what an ass | am.".-Chicago

Danger In Nitrate of Soda.

1t should be remembered that nitrate
of soda is not SO beneficial for stock as
1t is foy soil. Every little while some
farmer, either through ignorance or
carelessness, leaves nitrate of soda
around, or sacks which have contained
it. accessible to cattle or other stock.
These, not recognizing the difference
from common salt, lick or eat it, and as
a result either die or get very sick. In
case of poisoning from this chemical
the administration of infusions of cof-
fee and alcohol and irritant oysters" is
recommended by government veter-
erinar:ans.

Safety Appliances.

A Washington dispatch says: The
Interstate commerce commission has
issued its semi-annual report, showing
the progress made by the railroads OF
the United States in the matter of
equipping their freight cars and loco
motives with safety appliances in &C
cordsnce with the act of congress ap-
proved March 2, 1883. The statement
shows the advancement made between
December 81, 1899, and June /, 1899.
of the 294 railroad companies that have
been granted two years additional
time in which to perfect their equip
ment, thirty-one roads were merged in
other companies and one road failed to
make return to the commission. This
leaves 262 roads that reported an aR-
gregate of ,251 ,615 freight cars and
"a, 1877 locomotives owned June
l, 113, 1892 were reported and
having been equipped With automatic
couplers and 79, 554 with train brakes,
which brings the total SO equipped up
to ,030.147 or SO per cent of the freight
cars equipped with automatic couplers,
and 500, 719, or Sc per cent. equipped
with trains brakes. OF these "a. 1877
locomotives owned on June ], 80, 426 or
80 per cent. are equipped with driving
wheel brakes. There are 21I, 268 freight
cars out of q total of 1851, AIS, or II
per cent, tn at are not equipped with
automatic couplers; 552, 696, or A per
cent, that are unequipped with train
brakes, and 1851, or per cent, of the
locomit1ves not equipped with driving
wheel brakes to June l last.

Santa Fe'S New Move.

SIT is predicted with consider able
condolences In Santa Fe circles that the
duties now in charge of Mr.. G. R..
Hudson will be divided after be leaves
the service of the road, and two as
sistant general freight agents appoint
ed to succeed him instead OF one. It is
known at least that such q move is
under consideration by the Santa Fe
traffic officials.
II the duties are divided one man
will be placed In charge of the COM
mercial business west of the Missouri
river, and another in charge of the
rates. Both branches have been
handled together for the last five years
by Mr.. Hudson, but as they are to q
certain extent sntsgonistic, it is be-
lieved by at least ssme of the officials
that it would be advantageous to separ
ate them now that q change in the
office will have to be made. In this
event the assistant general freight
agent in charge of rates would have to
make his Office in Topeka, but the COM
mercial man would probably have an
office in Kansas City or Denver.
1t is believed that II this change. is
made, an assistant general freight
agent to succeed Mr.. J. E. German in
Chicago will not be appointed.
No men have been settled upon for
appoin tments as yet by the executive
officials. Mr.. r. B. Montgomery. gen.
eral agent at Kansas City. and Mr.. B.
F. Williams, chief clerk in the Office
here, are looked upon as possibilities

A Mean Mans Finish.

A Sioux city man gave q note
recently without revenue stamp on 1t.
he said it was unnecessary, as he
would pay it in few days. When the
note became due he refused to paw it,
and pleaded as defense that there
was no stamp on it. He won that case.
but now he is under arrest charged
with violating the revenue law, and
the costs have already amounted to
several times more than the note. A
mean man always gets "caught up
with" in the long run.-Minneapolis
