Proud Achievement of a Heroic Woman
of Nicaragua

Proud Achievement of a Heroic Woman
of SicaraguA-
September IA is a great anniversary
day in Nicaragua, and is legally recog-
nized as holy day. it being one of the
two days in the history of the repub-
lie when Nicaragua soldiers defeated
an important force of armed troops.
The first occasion was when a woman.
one OF the ancestors OF the wife Of DR..
Cardinas. formerly president of Nj
caragua. rallied some fleeing soldiers
and men; her husband, the commander,
being absent at Fort Castrillo on the
San Juan river. She held the front
until night against the cannonade of
the then Lieutenant Nelson, afterward
Lord Nelson of the British navy, who
had come up the river in the small
boats OF a British warship for the pur-
pose OF capturing the fort. When dark
ness fell the brave woman had RATS
constructed and these were loaded
with dry leaves and clothing and satu-
rated with rum The RATS were sent
down the river to where Nelson's boats
were moored and were fired when they
reached their Estimation Nelson hur-
riedly retreated down the river to
where his ship lay. losing four men
and one OF his boats

RAILWAY DEVELOPMENT
English View of What Has Been Done

Owing to a variety of causes, the

! The permanent way OF the chief lines
is at least as good as any to be found
elsewhere; the working of signals and

nection with electric traction, by

The high rates Of wages paid

things being equal, the larger a steam

be worked. Applying the same princi-
pie on land. the American lines in
creased very greatly the power OF
their engines and the weight of trains
hauled, and both in passenger and
freight service the results have been
highly satisfactory.
The present excellence of American
rolling stock has been attained unde,
conditions curiously different from
those prevailing in England, where the
object of every railway is to make it's
coaches and locomotives as different
as possible from those of every other.
This practice, so well illustrated by
the English exhibits at Paris last
year, gives the companies no doubt an
advertisement of some value, the
white carriages of the Northwestern,
the Brighton line being instantly
recognizable everywhere; but whether
1t is wise In every case. to allow each
newly appointed engineer to introduce
a style of mis- own may be open to
question. In America, on the other
hand. the work of building passenger
vehicles Of the best description is
largely concentrated in the hands Of
the great Pullman company, whose
cars run over nearly all lines indis-
criminately, while in the matter Of
locomotive power the railways are
generally content to resort to few
large firms who have evolved certain
standard types and are able to
guarantee economic production.
The era of unrestricted competition
seems to be passing away, and the
consolidation long ago foretold by
Prof Hadley is rapidly taking place

TALKING DOLLS.
Girls Are Paid for Filling the Pho
nographs With Jingles.

Girls with pleasing voices find
remunerative employment In factorie.
where talking dolls" are manu-
featured. These dolls contain a
miniature photograph, and the girls
are kept busy talking into the tiny
machines that are afterward fitted
into the dolls. They recite the
familiar nursery jingles, Mother
Goose" rhymes and other literature
for small folk. A tube connects with
the mouth of the doll. and through
this the phonograp Is heard when the
doll is wound up.
Since dolls equipped with these an
other ingenious inventions have been
put on the market. the business %
doll making has assumed vast proper.
tions, and in many of the factories
women form a large part of the EN-.
ployes.
There Is constant demand for at.
tractive new features, and the little
people of today would never o.
satisfied with the dolls of few years
ago.
The children are so exacting nova
days" said woman who understands
this business, that II you show then
a doll which does not close its eyer
when 1t is laid down they'll invariably
say: No. don't want that. / want
my doll to go to sleep They must
have real hair on the dolls, and they
are quick to notice whether the tin,
toes and fingers are perfect"
The work done by women consists
largely of the finishing touches neces
sary in completing the dolls and
dressing them. Certain forms Of
work are assigned to each employe
and in a factory which turns out
dressed dolls one girl makes all the
rufiies required, another the under.
wear, another the hoods, and still m.
other fashions the dress or puts Il on
the doll.
Doll repairing is an exceedingly
profitable branch OF the work. Chill
dren are proverbially tenacious IN
their attachments to old dolls, and the
repairer Is kept busy supplying miss
ing arms, legs, heads, wings, toes
fingers or other parts. The jointed
dolls, which may be placed in any
position, require great strength to re
pair them, since all but the smallest
are jointed by means OF powerful
elestic bands passing through the
body. These must be exceedingly
taut or the limbs will hang limp.
In the largest dolls there are heavy
hooks on the ends Of the elestics, 20
be fastened inside the body, and since
a sudden unlookedfor spring OF this
elestic band has been known to injure
seriously a mans hand, II is not con-
sidered safe for women to engage IN
that branch OF industry.
Many ~ the most expert OF the
women dolls repairers are Germans
who have been taught the trade by
their husbands and brothers, and find
II easy and profitable. Women en-.
gagged in this occupation have the

advantage of being able to carry Il on
In their homes, or in connection with
other work.
Inc various parts to be supplied
can be obtained from the mama
facturers, and the repairer makes her
own scale of prices. according 10 the

gagged in this industry frequently
