the quality of the mans blood, that he was
doubtful whether he really was feeding him
self to the best advantage a man can feed
himself but it was perfectly plausible that
a man could live forever on this bill Of fare.
When / asked DR.. Judson Daland ii ne

that it was possible that the system would
find out what Temperature the mans system
required, the amount of work he was able
to do and the occupation of his life, which
his food had probably Influenced These

such bill of fare was the best possible

Railway Age.
That the management of the Northern Pa
cihc Railway appreciates the fact that if
you want a man to work well you must
feed him well and give him good bed to
sleep on is evidenced by the system of
boarding trains'' The outfit consists of
commissary store, kitchen, dining room
and refrigerator cars and sleeping cars
The force necessary for the train averages
about one man for every twelve workmen,
the distribution of occupants being about as
follows for each 100 workmen: One head
cook one second cook, four walters, one
watchman and one commissary clerk, eight
in all. The company has buyer who pur-
chases supplies in bulk for distribution to
all camps controlled by it. The regular Dill
of fare includes two kinds of meat and
three vegetables, with pie or pudding for
dinner and sauce or preserves for supper.
The kitchen requisition blank upon which
the chief cook obtains his supplies, covers
a complete assortment of materials under
the heads of fresh meats, dry meats, bread
stuffs, eggs, butter, coffee and tea, vege-
tables (fresh and canned), milk fresh and
canned), green and dry fruits, etc. The
commissary department carries a stock of
ali the various articles of clothing for which
d demand is likely to arise, and tobacco,
cigars, pipes, matches, knives, postage
All Of the cars are fitted up from ordi-
nary box cars, the arrangements of the
sleeping car being perhaps of the greatest
interest. Each car accommodates twenty
men. One full side of the car is taken up
by two-story berths, each intended for the
occupancy of two men. These furnish
opposite side of the car are four single
berths only, and the remaining space to-
ward the other end of the car is occupied
by stove wash basins and other simple
toilet arrangements Ventilation is pro-
vided for by four windows. The beds are
furnished with excelsior cottOn-tOp mat
tresses and blankets of a weight accord
ing to the climate in which the train is sta
toned
These outfits are reported as working to
the greatest satisfaction of the railroad
company, for the men do better work and
more of it from having a good supply of
wholesome food we'll cooked and good
sleeping place. 1t is also stated that the
completeness of the equipment is a material
benefit to the railroad company itself, which
is felt by the transportation department,
especially in the decrease of calls for car
rying new men to replace dissatisfied ones
and in furnishing passes to local supply
points for commissary goods.
The same company now has twelve trains
of this kind stationed on the Northern Pa
ciffc eand thirteen on the Santa Fe, Pacific
and Southern California roads.

1t is no more sickly sentimentaity that

historic past to know that harshness begets

reflects the spirit in which we meet II; and
this is nowhere more evident than in the

severity and corporal punishment make inn
possible a spirit of harmony and interest
and the feeling of mutual cooperation,

relations Of pupil and teacher. On the con-
trary, a firm. consistent. generous treatment
of a young child, as of an older person. has

The attention of Senator Morgan is called

eminent under the direction of Joseph, the
brother of Benjamin, who was the son of
Rachel and Jacob, who was the son Of Isaac,
who was the son of Abraham who was
the chosen of the Lord. 1t is known as the
Bahr Joussuf. and not only waters the entire
province of Fayoum, endoWing it with fer

these centuries, but it has been an impor-
tant aid to commerce. 1t leaves the Nile at

May Howard at the park.

Though among the latest aspirants to
public favor the May Howard Extravangaza
Company, which will open at the Park
Theater tomorrow for three days scarcely
needs the heavy Endorsements with which
most newcomers are compelled to herald
their advent. The show will be judged be-
fore it makes its initial appearance, not
harshly, but kindly. by its own handsome
and fair manageress. In word it will be
measured, weighed in advance by the en-
viable reputation which May Howard has
heretofore established. She has a footing
on the American stage that only grows
firmer with every appearance. Handsome,
gifted and ambitious and one of the many
queens of burlesque, her admirers will wei.

formance of the organization of which she

THE RAYS HOT OLD TIME"
The Rays, Johnny and Emma, in their
furiously funny farce comedy production
"a Hot Old Time" will play their annual
engagement at the Park Theater beginning
next Thursday matinee. The success of
this farce is known the country over. As
laugh creators the Rays are at the top of
the heap. Mr.. Ray is surrounded by a
clever company, including such well-knOwn
and entertaining people as Dolph and Susie
Levino, Frank Lalor Dave Genaro and
Ray Bailey, Harry Dull, Hayes and Healey
William Finley, Fanny Mora, Yerrie Laler,
which was concocted for laughing purposes,
has been frightened TO a great extent by
George NJ. Cohan, the clever young writer.
New ideas and original songs are intro
duced. AS a farce comedy production "A
Hot Old Time" is a distinct success, and
last season the Rays made a tremendous
hit here. In all the principal cities of the
United States the Rays are among the
best drawing cards. They have repeated
their engagements in the larger cities to
increased business.

of seats has been more eagerly looked for
ward to since Henry Irving's last memoir

event towards which an admiring public has
beer looking ever since the first echoes Of
his overwhelming success in New York. Or
ders for seats from Indiana towns in all di-
rections have been coming in to the hotels
and to the theater for two weeks and it will
be no surprise If Mansfeld's single perform
ance of "Cyrano," at English's should
break all records in this city. Richard
Mansfield has forged so far ahead of all
other American actors that he is in class
by himself. This year he has a play ranked
by the critics in France, England and Amer
lea as the greatest of the day, both as to
literary merit and as to its wonderful oppor-
tunity for stage pictures. Most critics place
Rostand's "Cyrano' as the nearest APP
proach to Shakespeare of anything produced
in modern times.
Mr.. Mansfield comes almost directly from
New York and Chicago, where, for fourteen
weeks, his performances have been given to
an uninterrupted succession of the largest
audiences these cities have known TO Cy
rano it seems Mr. Mansfield has brought the
ripe fruition of his great genius as a creator
has provided a background of sunptuous
beauty. He brings his company intact from
New York, numbering 80, and the organi-
zation and the paraphernaia occupying, to-
gether with Mr.. Mansfield's private car, a
special train of twelve coaches
Mr. AIansfield's creation of "Cyrano"
has made M. Rostand's heroic comedy an
extraordinarily widely read book, The story
is familiar to nearly every one. Already the
brainy knight of the ugly nose, who loved
fair maiden, and had to contend against a
handsome dolt how his love made the great
sacrifice and his wit won his sweetheart
from his rival, how, for years after the
rivals death. he kept his secret and his
memory inyiolate, and how Cyrano's part in
life's stroke of irony was divulged, only ac-
eidentally at his hour of sublime death
these are phases and features of a story
which is not yet year old, yet is familiar
as classic.
