THE WOMEN OF CEYLON,
they Are Graceful, Have Musical
Voices and Are Adopts I'm the
Arts of the Household,

The dominant characteristics Of
feminine beauty in Ceylon are, as
will be seen from our illustration,
softness of contour and delicacy of
feature. In both of these respects
the Cingalese belle has advantage
over the womenfolks of the more
northerly races. All the lines of her
figure are more rounded. and there
is nothing of the stilted gait in her
walk which mars the pedestrian
gracefulness of Punjabi and Pathan
beauties. Her voice, too, is swecter
and more musical; it is pretty to
hear a Tamil mother singing lula bies
to her baby. AS regards natural in
tclligence, there Is not much differ.

TALK ABOUT HORSES.
Largely on Climate and s:coloE-
ical Conditions

Those states which have rolling
lands, with large amounts of lime
stone in their soils, with short, sweet
grasses and pure water, are the ones
which have led in the production of
high class horses. The Morgan FAM
lily was a natural product of YER
mont, and the sound feet, clean bone,
and excellent lungs were the sure
result of the natural conditions I'M
der which this family of the horse
were raised. 1t required good feet
to. travel over the hard stony soil,
and good lungs to travel all day up
and down these steep hills. These
conditions eliminated all animals of
too great weight, with soft bone, or
poor feet, and oy the law of natural
selection they became extinct in that
state through discrimination against
them in breeding and expectation.
It is the same with the American
trotter and the thoroughbred. New
York and Kentucky have been rec
ognized as the natural home of the
trotter, and Kentucky and Tennessee
as that of the thoroughbred. Nat
ural conditions had more to do with
this than the enterprise of breeders,
for as much enterprise can be found
among breeds in other states. We
should never select horses raised on
fat lowlands, even if they had great
er growth and weight than those
raised under the conditions referred
to above. Horses raised on corn land
in the prairie states, and fed largely
on corn, may show we'll in the ring.
but they will never have the stam-
ina and usefulness, either for work
or in the stud, as those on lime
stone soils, with blue grass pastures
and oats as their usual food.-Mich-
ipau Farmer.

Using the Hand Separator,

Prof. n. II. Dean: A great many
who use hand separators take the
warm cream from the separator and
put it in with the cream that has been
skinned in the morning or the pre-
vious day. That practice will result
in a poor quality of butter every time.
Cream from the separator should al
ways be cooled at once to tempera-
ture of 60 degrees or lower, otherwise
it will be worse for buttermaking than
that obtained in the old way without
separators. Neglecting to wash the
machine properly, and neg,ecting to
cool the cream properly, are the two
great evils to guard against in the
use of the hand separator. If these
two points are carefully observed, we
shall have better quality of cream.

Good Horses for Farmers

that is lacking is an eye for beauty

raise horse or team of horses let him
first select good sound brood mare
of the type he wants to breed. Let
her be sound and suitable or she is
not fit to breed from. Then sire
should be selected. 1t should be one
of the same type as the brood mare,

Trying to Corral Nitrogen.
The scientists, for the nourishment
of plant life, have tried to get nitro
gen in form easily assimilable as
plant food from the atmosphere at a
very cheap rate, and employ it for
making the soil more fertile. Now, it
is reported from Paris that Prof. LIE
Bon, the well-known scientist; has
made a discovery, which is expected to
revolutionize the chemical science of
the world. BY a new method of rcsolv-
ing water into its component parts, he
claims to be able to procure indefinite
quantities of hydrogen and oxygen at
an insignificant expense, while the
very process itself creates IN energy,
which can be substituted for oxidation
of zinc in making electricity.

SUGGESTS PENSIONS FOR
AGED RAILROAD EMPLOYEES

To the Editor of The Journal:
Would il not be a good time now for the
railroad authorities of the south to take
up for SERIOUS consideration the idea of
pensiOnine their old employees? Those who
have grown old and gray in the service,
and who are still found. daily, among their
workers Some of these old employees
have passed their three score years and
ten. and for terms of 80 and 40 and so years
have rendered faithful service to the rail-
roads Would it not be a fitting recogni-
ton of faithful service? Would it not
be a humane thing for the managers Of
southern roads to say to these old fellows,
well done, faithful old servants; go home
and spend the few remaining years Of
your life in quiet rest; we will take care
Of you!"
What a stimulus to the remaining
thousands of their toilers, and what a
kindly chord it would strike in the hearts
of all good men. Such deeds on the part
of managers would lessen the too frequent
use of the expression, "soulless corpora
tions."
This idea of pensions has long been pop
ular with some Of the railroads of the
north, among them the Pennsylvania road,
perhaps the most magnificent railroad
property in the world and which has
regular system of pensions for old and
faithful employees.
A THESE
welfare of their employees than our south
ern roads? 1t would seem that way; and
yet, doubtless. many of our southern man
ayers have given serious thought to the
subject and would be glad, perhaps, to see
1t in practical operation. There is ten
der and generous side to the railroad man.
VIII not some of them take this matter
up and push it to a practical conclusion,
or advocate it before those who are able
to do so?
1 am not in the pension line myself,
either as a soldier or railroad employe,
but 1 honestly believe that the worthy old
railroad employee, as we'll as the worthy
old soldier. should be taken care of and
made comfortable in old age by those who
receive benefit of the best years of their
lives and labor.
This is a good principle, generally. These
lines have been prompted by sincere SYM
pathy for an old railroad friend, well
known to many of our citizens, and whose
STOPPING form, with its crown of white
hair and the weight of over 20 years upon
him, may be seen almost daily going from
his home near Decatur, to his work In
one of our railroad shops. / never see this
old knight of the hammer, who has rem
dered more than fifty years of service to
the railroads of Atlanta, without think
ing what a nice thing it would be for the
great railroad company for which he now
works to say to him: Here, put down your
hammer and your rivets, take this small
pension, enough for your simple wants,
go home and with your aged wife spend
the short balance Of your life in well
earned rest" Would the company lose
ANYTHING by it? Without hesitation I an
swer, No, but on the contrary, would be
helped by it. Respectfully,

CRUMPACKER ACCEPTS
INVITATION TO SOUTH

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May Interest
in the trip of Representative Thompson's
party of northern Republicans to the
south to see the negro in his native ele-
ment was renewed today, when Mr..
Thompson formally invited Mr. Crum-
packer, of Indiana, to be a member of the
party, and Mr.. Crumpacker accepted on
the spot.
The two had never met before and they
held a friendly conversation of over an
hour, during which time Mr.. Thompson
explained the peculiar situation of south
ern politics in regard to the negro. The
Indiana gentleman, who is the author of
the Crumpacker resolution to investigate
the election laws Of the south, expressed
the greatest surprise at the revelations
unfoIded to him by the Alabama congress-
man, and declared he was most anxious to
go south and see the conditions for him
self.
There were tears in his eyes as Mr..
Thompson told him of the numerous let
tiers he had received from the best peo-
pie Of the state who wanted to meet the
northern gentlemen and show them the
hospitality of the south.

a number of ladies' They will leave here

public. If the Georgia and State roads
cannot come in. let them stay where they
are. A depot built farther out would make
the city grow to it very soon. There is 50
much transient business of the city which
crosses from the north side to the south
side, and vice versa, at this point 1t could
not be interrupted. Neither could a depot
be properly run on an elevator or under
ground passage plan. I believe with the
large cost and cramped conditions and
changing streets It would prove unsatis-
factory to give us such depot there as
Atlanta needs. The railroads should be
consulted and a depot could be located
that would suit all and be a credit to our
city, which can only be done when the
idea of building on the present site is enc
tirely abandoned, as it should be.
