of cold is very trying, especially to s

sensitive to any slight change of atH

choose a straight chair and place Is
at a convenient angle for the patient
to see without strain. Choose pleas.
ant, friendly subjects for talk. Some
times the sick one will suggest what
she wants to hear about after her long
separation from the world. 1t is ala
ways safe to wait for such a lead, that
is, if converse ton is permitted. If the
case is still of such character as to
forbid this, it will be wise to restrict
topics to impersonal subjects. Do not

The last and most important reserva
is never to ask aboutthe appetite ana
things to eat unless the nurse has first

childish and feeble, and it is merciless
to excite a mind already drained by

ART IN ENTERTAINING.
The secret of Success Lies In ones
Ability to Put Guests at
Their Ease.

Do not make company of your
guests. Do not plan too much for
guests amusement. A chance to
choose ones diversion is often more
appreciated than constant round of
gayeties. Especially, if your visitor
be busy housewife, will she enjoy a
day in which there is no must do"
She is weary of engag ements that
must be punctually kept and is long
ing for an aimless walk; or for an
afternoon among the shops in pursuit
of her hobby; or for the luxury ''just
once to finish magazine article with
out interruption; or, perhaps, for a
long, lazy siesta in your favorite coy
corner. Something of her own choice
will rest her, while an afternoon at
the club that interests you might only
bore her. Tell her how you are going
to spend the day, assure her you would
be glad of her company, but let her
understand she is free to follow her
own inclinations.
Make no attempt to vary your usual
bill of fare. Your guest will infinite
~ prefer the newness of your dishes
to an imitation of her own. If you
live in the country, the homemade
bacon and ham will be a real treat;
and bass, fresh from the river, will
be revelation to one who has only
: eaten fish after it has been packed in
ice. If you live in the city do not at
tempt to serve spring chicken to your
country guest. 1t is impossible for
town chicken ever to become the ten
der, toothsome morsel she is used to
at home. But the juicy steaks and
roasts you are so tired of are a treat
she can seldom enjoy at her distance
from markets.
Endeavor to learn something from
your guest. She will bring with her
new point of view. Peculiarities in
dress and manners have always basis
in environment and the habits you at
first think queer" when studied in
the light of climate. architecture and
occupation, will be seen o be for that
individual the only rational habit. In
the study you will have broadened
your horizon and will have prepared
yourself better to enjoy the return
visit.-What to Eat.

HoosIER HYMN WRITER.
Some Pleasant Chat About Jennie
Wilson Whose Work Is Known
to Many Readers.

In little town in southern Indiana
lives a young woman who has done
much to add to the collection of sacred
music. The hymns which she has
composed have been sung by thou
sands in various churches, who little
thought that the author was so af-
ficted as to be almost helpless. Yet
such is the case with Jennie Wilson,
the "hymn-writcr," as the people of
South Whitley call her. She has never
walked step, being paralyzed from
the waist down, but kind Providence
has bestowed upon her rare gift
which she has utilized in making 9TH
ers better and happier for it, while
it has constituted her sole means of
support. AS child she was extremely
fond of music, but not until a few
years ago did it occur to her that she
could compose sacred songs. Her

A PARCHED MOUTH.
an Anxious or Worried
Condition.

Tt is not alone the hot weather or
hard work that makes your mouth
dry; anxiety, serious trouble gener-
ally, will parch your mouth and
throat more quickly and effectively
than anything else.
There are persons who will not be-
tray in the least degree, by their
looks and general demeanor, that
they are worried. Many criminals,
for instance, appear as cool as GU
cumEers, although they are inward
ly much perturbed; but to an at
tentive observer the state of their
minds is made clear by the parched
mouth.
You may take it for granted that
a person who is prey to deep ankle

spea king; that is because his mouth
and throat are dried; and you will
see that he rolls his tongue about
in order to moisten it. He must be
a very cool individual who can pro-
vent that sign of anxiety.

BIG RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT.

A unique excursion was recently arranged
by the Union Pacific Railroad company.
ABOUT sixty newspaper Me7, representing
the leading journals of the country, were
invited to take a trip on the Wyoming di-
vision, line Overland Route" for the pur-
pose of viewing the stupendous engineering
achievements recently made on that line
The train was made up of two. private
cars, three Pullman palace sleepers, dining
E?r, drawn by one of the new compound en-
glnes, with an observation car-constructed
on the same plan trolley car-ahead of
the engine.
One hundred and ffty-eight and four
tenths miles of new track laid, reducing the
mileage between Omaha and Ogden by 3d. At
miles, and reducing gradients which varied
from 40 to 97.6S feet to the mile to a maxi
mum OF 1873 feet, and curves from to de-
grees, while a great deal of bad curvature
has been eliminated entirely.
A mountain removed and lost into
chasm; huge holes bored hundreds of feet
through solid granite, an underground river
encountered and overcome; an army of men,
with all sorts of mechanical aids, engaged
In the work foT nearly a year; the great
Union Pacific track between Omaha and
Ogden made shorter, heavy grades elimi-
mated, and the business of the great Over
land route flowing through a new channel,
without the slightest interruption.
Millions of money have been spent to re-
duce the grades and shorten the distance.
This reduction is the result of straighten-
ing unnecessary curves, and the construc-
IlOn OF several cutOnS between Butord and
Bear river, Utah.
The curvature saved is about one-half,
the grading about the same, while the angles
are reduced nearly two-thirds. The SUI
periority of these changes is apparent to the
practical railroad engineer. 1t is also ap-
parent to the operating department in the
reduction in operating expenses, and to the
traveller in the increased speed the trains
can make.
The new line runs due west from Buford,
avoiding the high hills and eighty-foot grade
from Cheyenne, and piercing through cuts
and the big tunnel, crosses the Black Hills
at a grade of less than one-half ABB feet)
over mountain attitudes.
From a constructive standpoint the line,
Is remarkable for the amount of material
required in the construction of immense
entertainments and the building of large
tunnels through solid rock. The construc-
ton of the new line between Buford and
Laramie alone has involved the excavation
of 100000 cubic yards of material, one-third
of which Exclusive of the tunnel excava-
tion) has been solid rock, of something over
100000 cubic yards per mile
Too much credit for this work cannot be
given to Horace G. Burt, president of the
Union Pacific railroad, and his assistants.
The excursion was replete with many in
teresting incidents, and the splendid hos
pitality of the Union Pacific officials was
revelation. The newspaper men evinced
their appreciation in many ways, particu-
larly in a resolution of thanks to the Union
Pacific officials, General Passenger Agent
1.omax, and Messrs. Darlow, Park and
Griffin.

fooling away precious time with other
remedies, no man can tell. But 1t Is al

Australian Mai1,s Record Trip.

The most important mail that has left
Australia in years for London recently made
a record breaking trip. The mail consisted
of 347 sacks and contained many documents
for the British parliament. At Sidney it
was put on board the steamer Ventura, a
steamship sailing under the American flag
and built only last year for the Oceanic
Steamship company at the Cramps ship
yard in Philadelphia. The trip across the
Pacific occupied just 81 days, the former
time having been 26 days. From San Fran
cisco the mail was hurried east on special
fast trains on the Southern Pacific Ogden
ine), Union Pacific, and Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy railroads, but arrived in
Chicago too late to connect with the fast
mail train Of the Lake Shore and New York
Central, which is a 24-hour train from Chi
cago to New York. A special train was made
up and attached to one of the fastest en-
gines on the Lake Shore line. The regular
train was overtaken at Toledo, and the hour
and half lost time was made up. At Buff
falo the regular train was made into two
sections by the New York Central with the
mail cars, including the Australian mail, in
the first section. New York was reached
three minutes ahead of schedule time. AT
New York the mail was delivered to the
Campania and that vessel left on regular
time. Barring accidents or unusual delays
it will be delivered in England in several
days shorter time than ever before
