Railways without Rails.

1t is suggested that the automo-
bile will give us, after awhile, lines
of railway without rails, If such an
expression may be allowed. On Long
Island, for example, an automobile
road Of so miles in length is to be
constructed, to cross other roads
either above or below grade, so that
the owners may speed their machines
as they please. When this has been
done, Ihe next step will be, perhaps,
to attach trailers, and then passen-
gers and freight will be taken, and a
regular traffic established. At least
it may reasonably be expected that
the building of such roads will result
in the running of automobile coaches
as feeders to steam or electric lines,
where it would not pay to lay rail-
road track.

GIVE BABIES SOLID FOOD.
One Cause of the Enormous Death
Rate Among Children of New
YOrL's Poor,

The average mother in easy circum-
stances will smile rather derisively on
hearing that France has law making
it a crime to give solid food to any
child under one year old. Yet every
tenement house worker, visiting nurse.
health department officer or settle
ment resident can testify that the GUS
tom of feeding solid food to toothless
infants is wellnigh universal in the
slum tenements, says writer in the
New York Tribune. France, with her
low birth rate, has found that she can
not spare the 10000 babies that were
dying every year before the state took
them under it's care. The American
waste of child life amounts to 100000
annually under five years, the proper
ton of deaths being greatest among
the foreign population, where the high
birth rate is balanced by a heavy death
rate. Beer, tea, coffee, condensed
milk, watermelon, green corn and
pork rind are among the "dainties"
handed out to the unfortunate tene.
ment house infant.

everything all same as grown up, now,"

ly, displaying her saffron colored one
year-old to the plying eyes of the
superintendent of day nursery.

VANITY OF WOMEN.
The BesettinG Weakness of the Sex
as Instanced by an Attendant in
Railway Waiting Room.

at is no wonder that women are
susceptible to mems tattery," said
an attendant who has been employed
for years in the ladies' waiting room
of large railroad station, according
to the New York Herald. Women
are certainly the vainest creatures in
the world They do not begin to be
outdone by peacock. Every day l
see evidences of insatiate vanity that
almost make me shudder, for | real
ize what that vanity might lead to if
nourished by some master in the art
of tiattery.
"Of course, my position brings me
in contact with all sorts of women.
In some of them this germ has not
been developers; in others it has
grown to abnormal proportions, but
in all IL is innate in some degree. No
matter who the woman may be, how
plain II how handsome, she will gaze
upon herself in some way before she
leaves this room. The woman of toll,
who has nothing in face or figure to
promote vanity, will cast a furtive
glance into the mirror as she passes.
But another type of the sex will
come rushing in here simply to see
how she looks. She never thinks of
snatching few moments rest in the
wicker rockers or on the couches.
She will pose herself before the
largest mirror and the one which has
the best light, and then she begins
to scrutinize herself from her head to
her toes. She will twist about to
glance at her back, and walk out to
see how her skirt hangs. Then, with
a frown upon her face, she jerks off
her jacket, hat, veil and gloves and
goes to work.
First she dabbles little water on
her face with a handkerchief which
she has hidden about her somewhere
for that purpose. Then she opens
her chatelaine bag and brings out a
small silver-mo lnted comb. After
her hair is arranged to her liking she
brings out tiny powder box and
puff and an eyebrow pencil. With a
large and assorted variety of grim
aces she proceeds with her wonder
full complexion.
you would be surprised at the
number of ways women have of car
rying cosmetics, etc. They conceal a
powder rag in glove, in the lining
of hat, in a pocketbook, bag and
chatelaine, but more often in stock

often sees wonderful transforma-

to such places their knowledge of
feminine vanity is necessarily limited
and it is a good thing. They flatter
the silly things enough as it is"

A Young Drummer hoy.

Floyd Stewart LOOMS, of Grand Rap
ids, Mich, nine years old last May,
is perhaps the youngest drummer boy
in the country. His instructor in
drumming is his father, j. T. Loomis,
who is called the champion drummer
Of Michigan. Floyd has been accus-
toned TO drumsticks since he was two
years old, and now he can play the bass
drum and the snare drum at one and
the same time, beating the bass drum
with his foot and the snare drum with
his hands. He has played before large
audiences and always has given de-

TRAVEL IN THE SOUTH.
Veracious Account of a Trip by q
Government Official IN the
Capital City.

/ A special examiner of the pension
Office who occasionally makes business
trips down south, says the Washing
ton Times, was recently giving some
of his experiences while in the Palmet-
to state. He had business down the
coast near Port Royal, and after
week of hard work made for a small
station on n lumber road tapping the
main line to Charleston, some luiles
beyond. Reaching the depot, a small
shanty perched upon piles above the
surrounding swamp, he proceeded
to the ticket office to purchase the
necessary transportation out Of the
wilderness. The sliding panel in the
window of the ticket and telegraph
Office was down, and on it was the an
nouncement that the easygoing agent
had gone off fishing, and might be
expected back in the course of day
or two.
Going out on the platform to recon
hotter, he found an aged darby seated
in the shade back of the building smok-
ing a corncob pipe. He evidently be-
longed to the old school, for upon the
appearance of the visitor he arose,
made a courtly bow and remained
standing while being addressed.
Upon being asked as TO the arrival of
the train, he said: "Yo' might as well
take a seat an set down, boss, an make
yoSef at home. Dat train is pinted ter
be here at one er clock, but eff it gifts
here at shutdown yo'll he mighty lucky"
He then procC eded to entertain the
traveller with stories of the dim past
when he was a coachman in the house
hold of "Marse Gen. Wade Hampton"
He was a real good talker with his
quaint "reminiscences of the halcyon
days "befo' de wah," and the special
examiner was somewhat disappointed
when the old mans flow of ante-bellum
history was interrupted by the shrek
of n locomotive close at hand. As the
train pulled up at the platform he
glanced at his watch and found the
hands pointing exactly at the hour
of one.
Turning to The old man, he said:
"Look here, uncle. what do you mean
by telling your lies about this rail.
road? You said | would have to wait
hours for the train, and here it comes
rolling in on the dot of time"
The panied expression on the face
Of the old man gave way TO a very
broad grin as he answered.: Laws a

ADHERENTS CT COLOR LINE.
Comment Created in Hawaii by the
Association of the Caucasian
and japanese.

"Oh, goodness, did you see that?"
"No, what was it?"
Two ladies we're standing on Hotel
street, near the Hawaiian hotel, and
both looked keenly at cab that was
passing slowly along, relates the Pa
citic Commercial Advertiser.
In the cab were seated n small Jap,
in his shirt sleeves, and beside him was
white woman--a perfect vision Of
loveliness. She had dream of dress
on and her eyes-such big brown
lashes there, too-were downcast as
If the first blush Of love were upon
them. Her hair was done up in the
latest mode, and such a color, too
but. perhaps it had been died. But
beside her was stole. Although he
had both his arms clasped tightly
around her, the Jap seemed as serious
as an immigrant lined up before n
commissioner without the required fee
to land. But what's up with the lady?
She sits there stiT as a poker. She
looks now as if she had a board nailed
to her spine to keep her straight.
As the carriage drove along Hotel
street toward Fort street dozens Of
people stopped and stared. A look at
the Jap and "A glance at his white and
lovely companion convinced each in
turn that fresh scandal was ca tap.
SHAME" said n man on the street,
land she's a pretty woman, too"
THAT'S what you get for letting all
colors into country"
"Is 1t an elopement or an abduc-
tion?"
"Must be some fellows wife, as n
lot of money has been spent on that
dress pity the man she's left"
These and other things were heard
by the Kanaka driver of the cab as he
drove along and smiled blandly. Two
Elks at the corner Of Fort and Hotel
winked wisely at the driver and he
smiled sickly in return.
But the Jap kept the same sober
face, and as the rig was stopped in
front Of Fort street store many idle
people gathered about to look at the
pair. Did the lady intend to buy a
bridal dress or
But in moment the climax had
come. Two clerks carried the lady
out Of the cab and set her down in the
store, 1t was only dress model and
n wax face! "She," was part of an
exhibit at the merchants fair, and was
just being returned to the store.

CANNIBALISM IN PARIS.
Parts of Abe Human which Rank as
Delicate Tit-Bits in the Vari-
Gus Quarters.

Cannibalism is still rife among the
Paris hooligans. The last case we re-
corded was one Of ear-eating; the
other day it was a nose, says the
Paris Messenger. Tastes differ with
different localities and whereas at La
Villette policeman's ear is looked upon
as delicate tit-bit at Bercy consta-
ble's nose is not despised. Bercy is
where the wine comes from, and it
may be that rudy nasal organ is
preferred to pale one by the local
man-eater. At one a. m. an "agent"
of the name of PedamonS was on duty
on the Boulevard de Bercy when his
assistance was sought by a publican
who requested him to act as "chucker
out" one of his customers being
drunk and refusing to quit. The Gus
toner in question, a man named Bail
ly, took no heed Of the constable and
the latter clasped him round the waist
in order to evict him. Bailly there
upon started biting and tore the con-
stables nose right off. He was suisse
quently arrested and Pedamons was
taken to the hospital. II an operation
is performed it would only be right to
take flesh from Bailly's arm to pro-
vide the policeman with a new nose.

CHINESE FGIE OF GAMING.
They Are Ynveterate Gard Players
and Have Games of Their
own Invention.

The "heathen Chinee" portrayed by
Bret Harte, with his sleeves full of
aces and bowers" is not creation of
fiction. In fact, almost every native
of the celestial empire is born gam
bier and will hazard all he possesses
on the turn of card. If there is one
thing the Chinese in America cannot
understand regarding our customs it
is why the police and courts should
take cognizance of gambling. 1t is a
recognized amusement in China and
the Chinaman is a reckless gambler.
They have several kinds of playing
cards, but the general name for them
is chepae, or paper tickets. The cards
are two inches and a half in length and
half an inch wide and the kind most
commonly used are called tseen-wan-
che-pae, "a thousand times 10000
cards" This pack has 30 cards-three
suits of nine each and three indepen-
dent suits which are superior TO the
rest. The suits are named respective
ly mine myriads of strings of beads, "
mine units of cakes" and nine units
of chains"
There are several queer names for
other varieties of playing cards. One
is called "the hundred boys cards."
another "chariots, horses and guns"
and a third, curiously devised on the
principle of some of our historical
games, is called "a thousand times 10,-
900 mems names cards"
