WASTE COAL ON RAILROADS.
It 1s a Big Problem for the Tran.

It lie a Big Problem for the Trans.
p%ortation Companies.
Excepting wages paid to locomotive
men. the largest single expense in the
operation of the Wisconsin Central
railway Is for locomotive fuel, which
costs the company half a million dol
lars yearly. In other words, the COM
pany pays 100000 q year for the heat
to make the steam to run it's locolno-
tives. This fact, among others. has
led the company to issue a set OF spe-
cial instructions to engineers and fire.
men on economy in fuel. The, action
Is a forerunner of similar proceedings
by other Chicago roads,.
The question of fuel-Quantity, char.
acter and use-is becoming a most Sc.
rious one with all railroads. 1t never
was a trivial question. Even in the
days Of w%astefulness when wood was
consumed. the master mechanics had
much to trouble them. But the sub
ject has become in more than a joking
sense a "burning" question and radical
reforms are now in progress on West

One Consumer,

1t is shrewdly suspected that when
Mr.. Havemeyer states that Il removal
of the duty on raw sugar would result
in a saving to the consumer of $S5.GO0,-
600 a year, the trust magnate has refer
ence to one consumer only, the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company. Tie
Sugar Trust is practically the only con-
sumer Of raw sugar imported into the
United States, and there is the best of
reason for believing that this one con-
sumer would get the lions share, If not
the entire amount, of the saving of $751;
100000. Confirmation Of this belief is
at least suggested by the fact that no
body has heard Havemeyer urge the re-
moval or the reduction of the duty on
refined sugar. That's different!-Ex-

CURIOUS KOREAN CUSTOM.
The Battle of stones Which Marks

The Battle of stones which Marks
BeEinninE of New Year.
One of the most curious customs In
Korea marks the advent Of the new
year. This Is the battle with stones,
participated in by lnhabitantsof Seoul.
AT spot about mile andsa half out
side the city walls, on the main road to
the Han river. the people assemble by
thousands either as witnesses of or par
ticipants in this truly remarkable exhi-
bition of warlike good will By previ-
Gus arrangement piles of stones are in
readiness, all carefully selected and of
a convenient size.
Without previous selection OF COM
batants the participants form them
selves into opposing armies, about the
only qualification for service being ap-
parently the ability to hurl a stone at
the advancing forces of the enemy. At
first the stone throwing Is at long range
and uninteresting. but as the throwing
continues the forces draw nearer, and
the fight wakes fast and furious. men
being detailed to collect the stones into
heaps again or fetch fresh ammunition
for the firing line. Then the clash
comes. the two bodies meet, fierce rush
es are made, stones are discarded. and
knives and clubs are freely used. The
clash of weapons, the screams of the
combatants, the surging mass Of men.
some being trampled to death, now
falling. now struggling to their feet, the
blood flowing from numerous cuts-the
whole goes to make picture that de-
picts anything but the JOY we attribute
to the coming of a new year. The fight
is kept up until the clang of the great
city bell tells the combatants that 1t Is
time to return home

But, towards or no towards, the

have for years, III this annual wariike

moon or month OF the year. The GUS

LUNGS THAT ARE LAZY.

Their Owners Digest Poorly ana
Catch Cold Easily.
Fresh air is free gift, but it Is like
most of the gifts of heaven In that we
must do our share Of work to benefit
by it. No one would expect to have q
good fire just because pair of bellows
hung on a nail by the chimney, but this
is exactly what many people expect OF
their lungs, which are really only the
bellows given US by which 10 keep the
fire Of life burning bright aud clear
within us.
1t is not too much to assert that lungs
properly used in compare lively close
room will do more good than lazy lungs
in an open field. This trick of lazy
lungs Is a habit, like any other, and
may be overcome by persistent effort.
Many persons, for example, are atfiict-
cd with a nervous habit Of holding the
breath unconsciously. These are the
people who. in spite of plenty of time
spent out of doors, yet catch cold easi-
iv, digest poorly and are always more
or less under the weather" physically.
Many other persons-and they consu-
tute the great majority Of mankind
breathe only with the upper part OF the
lungs and although they may breathe
regularly do not draw in sufficient air
mt a breath to fill all the lung cells.
When once the perniclous habit of
poor, shallow breathing has been bro
ken up. the health undergoes such mark
ed improvement, there is such brighten
ing of the spirits and Improvement of
the looks, that the luxury Of deep
breathing is not likely TO be readily
forcgone.
A good way to start the new habit is
to take deliberately a few minutes at
stated intervals and devote them to
proper breathing If this is done sys-
tematicalIy. the reformer will find him
self unconsciously breathing more and
more. until very soon he is obeying ma /
ture and really breathing to live.
Resides the gain to the general health /
which comes from the habit of deep
breathing there is created a reserve

often OF great service in warding of /

TOOK A DEADLY DOSE.
w. A. Blankenship Swallowed
437 Grains of ChIoral With
out Suicidal Intent.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., September r.
Special AFTER taking 4s37 grains of chlo-
raj, or about twenty doses, w. A. Blank
enship, a well-known young man Of this
city, died this morning after lingering in
an unconscious condition since Monday,
when he took the drug. as is believed, to
obtain rest after having nearly broken
himself down by over-work.
Physicians here are surprised at the
length of time the man lived after TAX
ing such a fatal dose. From the time he
took the dose until the hour of his death,
Mr.. BIankenship never once regained con-
seriousness, and the attending physicians
entertained no hope of his recovery.
Those who knew the dead man best
state that they are satisfied that his in
tention was not to end his life, but to
seek rest from the soothing effects Of the
drug. In seeking this end he was igno-
rant of the quantity Of the drug required
for dose, and his death is due to this
ignorance. Mr.. Blankenship was very
popular young man. During his residence
here he made many friends.
All that mortal hands could accomplish
was done for his relief, but from the be-
ginning it was known that his condition
was extremely critical. Heroic means
were resorted to- but to no avail. Blank
enship was private secretary to Superin-
tendent o. NJ Sadler, of the Southern Ex-

would now be 81, which makes Mrs.
Thomas 1O5 years old.

told the writer he had frequently heard
his sister say that Mrs. Thomas was
several years older than herself, and she
was born in 1901, which tallies we'll with
the result from the other data.

he places her age over hundred.
