Hugo Russian Looomotlre.

The most remarkable Russian engine
in the Paris exposition was the gigantic
twelye-wheeled double six-coupled du-
pick compound on modification of the
Mallet system, and bearing the number
HI. $40. This was by far the biggest and
heaviest engine in the whole exposition,
weighing as it does eighty-six tons, and
having a vast forty -six-ton tender APP
pended; the total weight of tender and
engine being therefore no less than 132
tons, while the top of the chimney
stands sixteen feet nine inches above
the rail-level. This mighty locomotive
is constructed on the articulated plan,
the four-foot driving wheels being
practically a steam bogie, while each
group is driven by one high-pressur@
and one low-pressure cylinder, the re-
spective diameters being 1874 inches
and 2S inches. In the case of this par
ticular engine, more may be said on
behalf Of the complex system Of artic-'
ulation employed than in the case OF
the smaller but similar locomotive.
The Russian twelve-wheeler is in
tended for the haulage of immense
loads and the ascent of steep grades.
1t is essential to the development of its
full usefulness that it should be able to
utilize its entire adhesive weight for
traction and that this weight should be
distributed as widely as possible upon
the rails without such distribution in
volying an undue length of rigid wheel

Could Not BE Photographed.

When Miss Helen Gould visited the
tenth annual convention of the rail-
road department Of the Young Mems
Christian Association at Philadelphia
the newspaper artists were bound to
sketch her as she appeared at the re-
ception. TO this Miss Gould objected
sfrenuously, but the artists were not
routed until the railroad men threat
ened to demolish the photographers
expensive cameras and tear up the art
lists cardboards. A score of newspa-
per photographers and artists appeared
at the Y. NJ. G. a. building early and
were informed that they could not en-
ter with their machines.
A dozen burly railroad men were APP
pointed to smash all cameras found in
side the building and tear up all art
lists materials. The picture men then
waited outside When Miss Gould ar
rived with Mrs Sage a flank move
ment was made and their carriage was
driven around to a side entrance.
The men of pictures rushed to the side
door. but upon arriving there found the
women surrounded by over fifty tall
men. who formed q bodyguard Iear
into the building, shutting the cameras
out completely.
In the crush to close out the picture
men Miss Gould and Mrs. Sage were
almost crushed themselves. They
seemed amazed at the excitement at
first. but soon learned the cause and
helped 10 deprive the picture men Of
snan shots.

Mr.. Rush, however, made a grand

local druggist guided by the numerous
inquiries being made at his store for
Dodd's Kidney Pills. advised Mr.. Rush
to buy and try some. This he did, and
to his delight he was restored to health
and strength.

the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills he felt

This gem was found on June 80, 1898,
at Jagersfontein. in the Orange Free
State. The stone was picked up by
native while he was loading a truck,
and although a White oYerseer was
standing near him he managed to Sc

some time. In this case, however, it
did not appear that he proposed stealing
the gem, but only wished to deliver it
personally to the manager This he did,
and as bonus he received f150 and
horse, saddle and bride. The diamond
weighed in the rough exactly 971%
carats, or about { 40 ounces avoIrdu-

about the middle, but it was so placed
as to allow the stone being cut into two
with the spot falling out.

Founded by a Founding.

Very curious and romantic are the cir
cumstances under which certain -four
ishing city enterprises have been found
ed. For instance, there stands in the
heart of Cheapside a noble pile of build
ings, occupied by firm whose name
is a household word throughout the
kingdom. The founder of that business
was mysterlously dropped on the door
step of a city church and sent by the
authorities to the Founding Hospital,
where he was named after the church
in question. He was afterward intrust-
ed to a respectable woman, who under
took to bring him up with her own
family.
Soon after this inquiries were made
at the Founding Hospital about the
boy by a young and beautiful lady,
whose name and rank-she was evil
IDENTIFY of aristocratic origin-remained
shrouded in mystery. A solicitor was
ultimately instructed to pay the boys
oster-mother a certain sum monthly.
This continued until he arrived at the

GOOD LOOKS A HINDRANcg.

Best in Business Pursuits.
As a class, women regard good looks
as their most valuable asset in life, vet
If they are to engage in business they
find that beauty is a handicap they can
not easily overcome A few years ago
when woman began to enter business
life in considerable numbers, a hand-
some face was esteemed a great adj
vantage. To-day the reverse is true.
Those still youthful can remember dis
iinctly when it was next to impossible
Tor a homely girl to get a situation.
Good looks were insisted upon in type
writer's and stenographers, and mer-
chants were then under the impression
that pretty clerks brought trade. 1t
took some time to explode that idea.
The pretty clerks certainly attracted
crowds to their counters, but they We're
crowds of dudes and loafers, who would
buy 5-cent paper of pins and then
ilirt away three or four dollars worth
of time, while the women, who consti-
tute four-fifths of the patrons of all
retail houses. had a strong aversion to
being waited upon by a professional
beauty. Moreover, no dependence was
to be placed in the clerks themselves.
The handsomest girls were pretty sure
to be vain and "touchy," and when one
proved really valuable she was morally
certain to get married at the very time
her services were most needed. SO prac-
teal men began to see that pretty clerks
did not pay, as a cold business PROPOSE
ton and the same discovery was pres
emily made at the offices. Typewriting
bellies made more trouble than they
were worth. They demoralized their
fellow-employes and created no end Of
jealousy and bitterness and friction. In
many cases. perhaps in most, the poor
girl wasn't in the least to blame. She
couldn't help being good to look at, and
was probably trying her best to attend
to her own affairs, but the idiotic men
wouldn't let her. However, results are
the only things that count in business
nowadays, and a few years ago big
reaction against beauty set in, and now
pretty faces are at discount.
