The rehabilitation OF the Baltimore
and Ohio South Western Railway will
begin as Boon as the frost is out of
the ground in the spring. Just before
the line went into the hands OF Re-
ceivers Harmon and Robinson a large
quantity Of material was purchased.
This will be Immediately delivered
and used to the best advantage. Forty
thousand tons Of 85-pound steel rails
have been purchased, and enough will
be on hand on March LIST to enable
the Receivers to begin laying It at
FIVE different points on the line. Each
mile Of track will be carefully rebal-
lasted and placed in first-class condi-
tion. It will take 101, 900 pairs of con
tinuous rail joints for the forty thou
sand tons of rail. The two thousand
standard box cars and five hundred
steel coal cars recently ordered will be
delivered in March. Additional motive
power, in the shape of forty compound
freight engines, weighing 156, 900
pounds, and five ten-wheel compound
passenger engines, Weighing 1876, 900
pounds. is now being built by the Bald
win Locomotive Works. It is expected
that by the time the property is re-
organized and becomes the southwest
ern division Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad that 1t will be in a
physical condition fully equal to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

In looking into the future we find our
selves staring at a blank wall; for, with
typewriter, no recent advance has been
made in lessening literary work. The
ideal method of composition would be the
orator could talk and have his spoken
word reproduced at onceio on paper as the
written word; but. unfortunately, like
printing photographs in colors, each sue
ceeding advance and discovery in the
world OF invention seems to make this
hope more and more improbable. The in
~surmountable difficulty lies in the fact
that there is no connection between the
sound of a word and its appearance on
papen We will never reach this ideal
state.-From 'Labor-Saving Devices in
Literary Work" by j. Howe Adams in
North American Review.

% years old and was born in Milwau-
kee. She came to Chicago with her
father. Robert Lindblom, twenty years
ago.
The house of Robert Lindblom &
Co., grew until it became one of the
most prominent commission houses in
the country. A year or so ago Robert
Lindblom's failure was a passing SEN
sation. He is now the president of
the civil service commission Of the
city Of Chicago, a position which re-
quires the greater portion of his time,
and which, in the words Of his daugh-
ter, docs not pay as well as the COM

The monthly expenses of the firm Of
Robert Lindblom & Co. used to run to
$4,000 a month. 1t occupied the larg-
est Offices on the ground floor of the
Board of Trade building and employed
a small army Of clerks. Last Septem-
Der Miss Lenor Lindblom returned
from Europe where she had passed a
year and a half in travel, from Stock

knowledge OF the brokerage business
she had not acquired in that service
was not worth having, She was her
fathers ~conhdante. She knew all about
puts and calls and futures and options.
She began at the bottom, She served
in every capacity save hat of messen-
ger boy. There is not a book used in
her fathers vast trade that she had
no kept at some time or other in her
career. And outside of her actual ex-
perience in the whirl Of the Board OF
Trade she had breathed the atmosphere
Of the pits all her life. Almost as a
babe her father had carried her to the
exchange when it was at Washington
and La Sale streets, and with his pet
poised on his shoulder he had shouted
out bids or offered lots to the bowling
bulls and bears in the pits.
When Miss Lindblom came back
from her protracted European tour she
concluded that her experience in and
knowledge Of business were too val
liable to be wasted. So she organized
the firm OF Lindblom & Co.

conclusions: The offspring OF parents
between the ages Of 20 and rs are like

25 and 45 will probably be strong and

bust children between her tw%enty-fith

The village bells of Potzbach. Ger
many, have not been ringing since New
Years day. and the people have awak-
ened to the fact that the mana teacher
who has lone the work hitherto has
been paid only S2.64 a year and has struck
for higher wages. The people of the town
are troubled, for they have discovered
that the bell rope hangs in the teachers
bed chamber and that he will not allow
anybody to disturb his early snooze by
entering and pulling the rope. 1t is said
that the man for the last year has been
in the habit of ringing the bell while
lying in bed in the mo1ling.
