Dead Placed at Twelve

Houston, Tex. March 1o.-At South
ern Pacific headquarters Saturday it
was reported that the number of dead
by the Maxon wreck is 10. it being con-
coded four of the missing are dead.
The two still missing and not account
ed dead are Chris Kiel and w. Price.
Reports of the injured from Ell Paso
are to the effect that none have died.
but three may die during the day. The
cause of the wreck is still mystery.
The railroad officials believe it was an
obstruction on the track or broken
rail, while some survivors assert that
the train was running very fast and
hitting the curve hard. the wreck oc
curing on a curve. The fact mayneyer
be determined. as the engineer is dead
and most of the passengers were
asleep. Conductor stockwell is posi-
tive the train was running at ordinary
speed. which is not dangerous.

A Small Apartment.

1t is much more difficult to furnish a
small apartment than it is house.
The color scheme is infinitely more
difficult to manage. as the rooms often
open into one another and all rooms
are generally visible from the hall;
consequently colors should be selected
that viii harmonize. Either green or
yellow is a safe tone for hall, as
both shades are complementary to all
other colors. Bedrooms in small apart
ments can be made very attractive by
using green for a predominating color,
a setting, so to speak, the room bright
ened by the use of some betiowered
paper.

snowballs Brought Water.

Speaking of drinking water" said
one of group of men waiting for
a shower to pass over, 1.-The best ever
drank was on my uncle's farm.
eve lived on top of clay hill and
had well very deep, sixty feet,
reckon, but it never had any water in
it until ten years ago. A heavy snow
fell that winter, and uncle filled the
well with snow. He rolled up balls
until they were large enough to go into
the well cleverly and then dumped
them in until it was packed to the
top. They were packed so closely that
they did not melt until late the fol-
lowing summer, but when they did
they produced supply of water l
never saw surpassed for purity, soft
ness or GOODNESS. 1t was delicious.
Strange to say, this well, always
dry before, has produced plentiful
supply since. The water, while not as
good as that from the snowballs, Is
still excellent and celebrated through
out the rhood."-Chicago Inter

the Years Gone BY.
1t is about forty years since the pop
ularity of the apron began to wane At
that time no womans wardrobe was
complete without an assortment of
aprons for all sorts of occasions. A
black silk apron was the acme of ele-
gance and propriety, and any monde
script gown could by the addition of
the black silk apron, trimmed with
few rows of black velvet ribbon, be
dignified and adorned to the utter sat
isfaction of the wearer.
An apron had rather wide field of
usefulness when you consider that it
not only preserved and embellished a
new gown, but it also concealed the
defects and added dignity to an old
one An apron was always en- regle.
The best dress was kept clean by it's
use, and the daintiness of it represent
ed all the feminine traits. 1t was a

RAILROAD BELOW THE SEA.
Engineering Feat Now Under Way

Engineering Feat Now Under Way
by the City of Boston.
The first tunnel for railway traffic
under tidewater in an open harbor is
now being built by the city of Boston
to connect it's subway and elevated
system with Noodle island.
The tunnel is being constructed for
the use of the Boston elevated road,
which comprehCnds practically the
whole transportation system of the
city, and will provide a double track
for cars, which will be operated by
electricity. The section of the tunnel
under the free water of the harbor is
TO be something over half a mile in
length, and, including approaches, it is
estimated that the whole work will
cost about 100000. The upper sur
face of the tunnel will be sixty feet
below mean high water and will be not
less than twenty-five feet below the
bottom of the present channel, which
will allow a possible draft of over
fifty feet at mean low water, or enough
for the heaviest imaginable commerce.
The exterior diameter of the tunnel is
about two feet greater than that of the
Blackwell tunnel under the Thames at
London, and it's interior diameter is,
respectively, Is and 20 per cent greater
than the diameter of the st. Clair tun-
mel at Fort Huron, Mich, and the tun-
mel under the Hudson river.
The method of construction adopted
is entirely novel for submarine work.
Two parallel drifts are run ahead of
the tunnel, in which the side walls are
built. Resting on these side walls is
steel shield. semicircular in form to fit
the arch of the tunnel which is forced
into the blue clay of the heading by
sixteen hydraulic jacks, exerting a
combined force of over 1000 tons. The
tunnel receives its exact shape and
size by the cutting edge of the shield,
under which a monolithic concrete
arch is constructed. The hydraulic
jacks are an interesting feature of the
work, since each of them has a capac-
ity of seventy-ive tons, although as a
rule they are only called on to exert
a pressure of from twelve to fifteen
tons.-Leslie's Weekly.

The Chinese, says the Shanghai Mer-
curry, lay stress on the amount Of gall
man has and not on the amount of
heart. Thus we read of Hou King,
who was governor of Honan i'll the
sixth century, that he once captured a
rebel named Ii Cheh, brought him into
the market, chopped off his hands and
his feet, ripped up his heart and cut
out his vitals. The victim, however.
continued to jest, with his features I'M
distorted and his countenance I'M
changed. His gall bladder was then
seen to have the capacity of a pint
measure, which completely accounted
for his stocism. In 1915, when the ar
mics of the Mantchoos were gradually
Overrunning China, one WI Han Chao
made head against them in Anhui, but
he finally fell into their hands. The
historian records that his gall was
three inches long.

SOME GOVERNMENT RULES.
Carrying Bundles Into the Capitol
and Ont of the Treasury.

Carrying Bundles Into the Capitol
and Ont of the Treasury.
Among all the departments in Wash.
lngton the most strict is the treasury.
A citizen may carry anything that he
likes into the treasury building, but
when he undertakes to carry anything
bulky out of the building he is apt to
get into trouble if he does not explain
with readiness.
A visitor to Washington the other day
carried fairly large package into the
building. Nobody said word to him
about it when he was going in, but
when he started out with the package
he was held up, made to open it and to
explain all about himself and his bust
ness. The good sense of the rule is APP
parent.
At the capitol it is against the rules
to carry any sort of bundle into the
building. The fear is that somebody
will carry in a bomb. The rule was
never enforced vigorously until the SEN
ate took up the Sherman repeal bill.
At that time the public mind became
SO Influenced against the delay in the
senate that violence was feared, and
the rule was put into active operation
and continued for some years.
Then it dropped out of sight until the
it was again enforced, as it has been
more or less vigorously ever since

instrument, but she puts soul into her
playing and tries to express by touch
that subtle touch of the blind-the
things she feels so keenly because she
cannot see.
For the past four years she has been
pupil at the institute for the blind.
In another year Helen Masow will
complete her education in this school
and thereafter devote her time to
music
Helen was taught to read with the
embossed letters and write the "point"
writing for the blind.
This writing is done on little ma
chine similar to a typewriter, save in
the number of it's keys, there being
only six, yet by combination of dots
one may spell any word in the English
language, and some of the best pupils
can write as many as eighty words a
minute.
But this typewriter for the blind was
not sufficient for Helen Masow. She
wanted to learn on the regulation type
writer, and now she takes her fathers
correspondence from dictation and
does perfect work. She also wanted to
learn to ride the bicycle, and she did
and is now clever wheelwoman
But what seems one of her most
marvellous accomplishments is her
ability as card player, especially at
whist. She has her own deck of cards.
which she has marked in the corners
by pin pricks. She marks the num-
bers, ETC., and also has mark to des-
lgnate suit.
She deals the cards, then runs her
fingers rapidly over those she holds,
and her delicate touch enables her to
know every one Of the thirteen.
AS each card is played she touches it
In the corner, where she has marked it.
and she can by memory alone keep
track of every card that has been
played, and all this without delay or
marring the pleasure of the other play
ers.
She has added to her other accom-
plishments that of reading and writing
German, and yet this pretty blind girl
with the fluffy blond hair and the fresh
complexion does not look in the least
overworked, although she has proba-
bly, put more hard labor and study into
her young life than any other girl of
her age in California, for she is only
eighteen and despite her blindness will
graduate at the usual age for a high
school student.

1t is said that the chief reason why

that the women refuse entertainment.
