others are shaped like catboats, with a

A NEW RAILWAY.

The improvements that have
been made during the past few
years in its track, roadbed, bridges,
trestles, tunnels, etc., have vir-
tually made new road of the
NORTHERN PACIFIC. The roadbed
has been widened, trestles filled
in, new and heavier steel rails laid,
grades cut down, wooden bridges
replaced by steel ones, curves TAX
en- out, tunnels lined with brick
and concrete, and improvements
made wherever possible. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars were
spent in this way during 1898 be-
sides large sums in previous years.
New and mammoth locomotives
capable of drawing the heavy
ns-continental passenger trains
at seventy-fve miles per hour
when necessary, have been bought

THE ART OF RETOUCHING
Some Of the Wrinkles of PhOtog-
Raphy Brought to Light in .
London Court.

Some wrinkles" of photography
were brought to light in the South
wark county court where profession
ii and an amateur fought out their dis
puted accounts, says the London Tele-
graph. According to the former. the
charge for retouching photo depended
upon the subjects face. His honor sug-
gested that II the physiognomy was a
long one 1t would cost more to retouch
the photograph than that Of person
with short, small one, and an expret
agreed. adding that some people have
30 many freckles or wrinkles that they
give lot Of extra work. Judge Add
son said he supposed that In some cases
they had to take out such defects and
everything else person didn't like in
order to make a portrait acceptable, and
the professional concurred. Counsel
went even further and suggested THAT
not only had imperfections to be taken
out but nonexistent beauty to be
added.
From this It may be gathered that,
while photography is witness OF truth.
the artist is often fatterer, and az
such expects to be paid. His honor
took tho photograph in question and
gazed at 1t, and then had good look
at the person present in court whom II

The farmers of Oklahoma have de-
cided to do away with horses to pull
their binders and reapers, says the
New York Tribune. At this day the

work of this kind was done on the big
'1o1" ranch, in the northern part OF
the Cherokee strip. "Joe" Miller, the
man who owns the ranch, says that he
has hired teams from the neighbors
to help in his harvest for many years
and that this year he hired 20 tramps
and the work was done at just half the
cost In Oklahoma the ranches are 30

RARE INDIAN SOUVENIRS
Typical War Dances Recorded by the
PhSnograph for Government
Exhtbits,

The government chronological bureau
has gone to extraordinary pains to pre-
serve q complete record OF the vanish
ing Indian races" says an employe Of
the interior department at Washing
ton recently.
Take the Apaches, for instance. In
addition to an enormous collection OF
costumes, weapons, implements, dec
orations and all the articles used In
their daily life, the bureau has lately
added two souvenirs Of unique interest.
About year ago several agents were
sent to one Of the western reserva-
tions and took Photographic record
Of q number Of typical war dances. The
instrument was operated by q chemical
battery weighing over 100 pounds, and
recorded not only the chants, but the
ordinations Of the spectators, and
even the thudding of feet.
LAST spring the same dances were
repeated in front of vitascope photo
graphing machine, and years after the
last Apache had gone to the happy
hunting grounds the ancient ceremony
may be seen and heard exactly as it
was The general public knows very
little about the chronological museum,
but It is one Of the most interesting in
