Brakeman's Narrow Escape.

Charles e. Austin, a brakeman on the
east end, had a narrow escape from Sc
rious injury and possible death at Luz
Gin Thursday. He was engaged In switch
ing cars at Lucin and In some manner
got his foot caught in the frog or the
rails. The cars were being backed down
on him and he seemed In Imminent IAN
ger OF losing his life. With rare pres
ence of mind he seized the rail of the
car and held on to 1t and by main
strength succeeded in freeing his foot.
This was not done, however, until his
foot was crushed to some extent by the
wheels of the car.

RAILS EROM GERMANY.
Southern Pacific Company Preparing to Re.
ceive a Big Order.

The Southern Pacific Company is pre-
pairing to receive 40, 600 tons of steel rails
from Germany. The rails are expected
to arrive within the next few days.
The reason of the order being placed
In Germany is that the foundries of
America are too busy to accommodate
the enormous demand for material.
The company has many improvements
in contemplation and wishes to lay new
rails Immediately. The foundries
throughout the East are burdened with
orders which will keep them busy for
two years. When the Southern Pacific
Company asked for steel rails to be de-
livered to them within a limited time
the Eastern steel corporations replied
that it would be impossible to comply
with the demand. The foundries are
overwhelmed with orders, and If the
Southern Pacific Company depended upon
the American product IN building it's
new track and relaying old ones, the
contemplated improvements would have
to be deferred for a considerable period.
The delay would eventually cause the
company a material loss. To avoid the
loss of time 1t was decided to place an
order with Germany for steel rails.
The American export of rails is par
ticularly heavy, and the entire output
has been contracted for.
The German rails are principally sew
enty-pound ones. A portion of them ex-
coed this figure by fifteen pounds. The
rails will probably be used In this State
and California. The improvements or
dered by President Hartman are based
IN a 50, 000,0 900 estimate. All the tracks In
California will be relaid, the object being
to put heavy rails in place of the com
paratively light ones now in use. 1t is
the intention of the compan to relay
the Dunsmuir division at once with sew
enty-five pound rails.
The German shipment will probably be
forwarded to that point upon it's arrival.
The company has numerous orders for
rails with the Eastern foundries, but the
rails will not be ready for delivery for
some time to come.

Soap, Soft Water and washing.


1t is commonly supposed that the use of
soft waterman water, for eXample-for
washing purposes economies soap. But
while it is perfectly true and the lime salts
in hard water nUllify to some extent the
soap by forming insolubIe lime. soaps yet
the expenditure of soap. at least in toilet
purposes. will be found to be considerably
less than when rain water is used, while
the cleansing effect is just as good The
explanation of this is that soap is so very
readily soluble in soft water that consider
ably more soap is used than is necessary.
Everybody knows the slippery feeling of
rain water in which the hands have been
washed with soap, and no amount of rims
ing would appear to remove the soapiness
from the skin. In this case it is doubtful
when soap is used whether, after all, rain
water or soft water is better for the COM
pleXion or skin than hard tap water. 1t
is certainly not SO refreshing. In manu-
featuring processes or in the washtub it Is
true the use of soap in soft water is an
economy. 1t is in this way, of course, that
the addition Of soda, throwing out the lime
salt, saves soap. 1t has been estimated
that if London were supplied with soft
water the saving of soap would amount
to tens of thousands of pounds per an
mum, and Glasgow is estimated to save
t36,ooO annually in the matter of soap since
using Loeb katrine water. That may be
so, but in the matter of personal washing
there is waste of soap produced rather
than an economy by using soft water The
fact that a tablet of soap disappears much
more quickly when rain water is used in
stead of hard tap water is proof of this
assertion.

rum tne lHteFnatlolal Monthly.
In all the European collections of coins
they were for a long time classed as Mo-
hammedan coins. 1t was formerly one of
the great problems in numismatics to 'ex-
plain the non-eXistence Of any coins Of the
Latin kingdom of Jerusalem. Many coins
struck by Christians in the Holy Land are
still enormously supposed to be Arab coins
In the thirteenth century some Christians
were wounded in their consciences by the
minting of such coins with the Moslem re-
ligious texts. Pope Innocent w forbade 1t
under penalty of accommodation. Saint
Louis forced a modification, SO that
Christian legend replaced the Moslem text
and minute cross was inserted In an in
conspicuous place. But the Arab letters
We're still retained for the legend, in order
with whom they wished to carry on COM
merce. 1t is also very interesting to note
that some of the Mohammedan rulers
adopted similar device in order to further
trade with the Christians. "On coins of the
Urtukis, for example, a petty dynasty of
some crusading fame that ruled few fort
reSses In Mesopotamia, we meet with not
only the figures Of Byzantine emperors,
but those of Christ and the Virgin with
mangled Inscriptions of Christian import
Figures of similar character also appear
on the coinage of the Ayyubis (Saladin's
Kurdish house,, and that of the Beny Zengy
of MoSul and Syria together with the earliest
known representation of the two-headad
eagle, which has since obtained high favor
In Europe.

HOW PHILIPPINE WOMEN DRESS.
Feminine Attire Which il Noted for
It's Gaudiness.

From the Philadelphia Record.
A native Philippine woman. dressed for
a gala day, presents a strange contrast to
her newly-found sisters of the far-ofr
American cities. The taIlor-made girl
would scarcely admire her, but she appeals
to an artists love of picturesqueness and
color. Her flowing skirt is OF gay colors-
bright red, green and white being the COM
mon choice. The length of train and
whether the garment be of cotton, silk or
satin, depends on her means. Corsets are
just covers her breast, is I'm common use.
To this chemisette are added Immensely
wide short sleeves. Her hair is brushed
back from her forehead, without a parting
and coiled into tight fiat clignon. In
aer hand she cares a fan, without which
he would feel lost. Her head is covered
with a white mantle of very thin material.
lnally the toes of her. naked feet are part
covered by kind Of slipper fiat like r.
Shoe sole, with no heel, and Just enough
upper to enable her to thrust two or three
toes inside.
So much for the Philippine women who
live In Quality Street" On the other
hahd, a peasant woman going to market
presents very different appear rance. She
mas no flowing gown, but wears a short
skirt OF cotton. This is covered by q rec
tangular piece Of stuff: as a rule Of blue
red or black. This outer garment is tucked
IN at the waist drawn in very tightly round
the lolns and hangs over the skirt a little
below the knees. The figure of a peasaut
woman is erect and stately due To her
habit from early girlhood of CARRYING fars
head.

The EVIL of Ignorance.

From the Fekin Sin Wan Tao.
We should not mourn over the fortified

tanned our soil. Our greatest cause for
anxiety Is our own ignorant populace.
Most Of our patriots groan over Outside
woes" but they are off the track. Our
chief woes are internal. The outside woes
are the result Of internal disorders In
ternal disorders are fomented by the I'M
employed and ignorant. So we come back
to the point we began with, viz, the i'm
portance of education and support Of the
people. Hence we welcome the establish
ment of industrial schools, agricultural and
commercial schools in various places This
Is attacking the evil in the right way: not
by the eXecutioner's axe. nor by weak and
aimless pity. but by removing the root.
