These figures represent the taxes paid
on all the terminal facilities, including
the main lines. side tracks, rights-of-
way, depot grounds, freight and passen-
ger depot buildings, headquarters build
ings, machine shops, roundhouses, ware
houses and other property outside of the
right-of-way. furniture, fixtures and all
personal property of every description
owned by the railroads, and In addition
thereto it also represents the west half
of the Union Pacific bridge and the Ne
braska half of the East Omaha bridge.
These properties at the very lowest
estimate are capitalized at $40, 900,
and had they been taxed in proportion
to all other property in Omaha should
have paid $1SO.OO0 in city taxes into the
city treasury to defray the expenses of
maintaining municipal government,
Crediting the discrepancy in the inser-
ton of the Terminal Bridge company
into the aggregate, the total amount Of
taxes which the railroads centering in
Omaha have unloaded for the year 1902
upon all other taxpayers is, therefore,
reduced from $154,55O.30 to S153, S03.41.
These figures are significant and in
.structive. They still show that for
every So in taxes paid by Omaha tax
payers 81 represents a donation to the
railroads.

aration of sulphur and lanoline has
been known to put off the evil day con-
siderably.
Green soap is an indispensable prep
aration to the woman who would pre-
serve the lustre and richness of her
hair. 1t is prepared and prescribed by
all persons who make speciality of
scalp trea t1nent. The following recipe
was obtained from the wife of prom
inent physician, who prepares the
liquid soap for her husband. Take
equal parts of the very best green
CASTLE soap, water, alcohol and glycer-
inc. Heat the water and shave the
soap into it. Then stir it over the fire
until it is perfectly smooth. Add the
glycerine and stir again very thor
oughly. The alcohol is added last of
all, mixed with two ounces of essential
oil of any preferred scent. A small
quantity of oil of orris gives sugges-
ton or violet, while oil of verbena or
oil of sweet geranium gives an old
fashioned, wholesome scent. OF course
the alcohol is volatile and infamma BILE

uted over hot fire; otherwise, green
soap making is extremely simple

1T WAS IN THE PAINT.
Lady Admirer Compliments Artist on
His Flowers, But the Effort
In Wasted.

It was in one of Boston's art gal
leries, where there was an exhibition
of the late J. Appleton Browns pic
lures, relates the Herald. There was
fine array of beautiful landscapes,
with that mellow and radiant atmos-
phere that characterized all of Mr..
Browns work on canvas. The mead
ows were green, the foliage was rich
and full, and the blossoms were true
to nature at her best. A lady came
into the gallery to enjoy the pictures,
and as she stood gazing at the wealth
of beauty on the walls she exclaimed
rapturously: "How perfectly en-
chanting. I declare can almost
smell the sweet perfume of those ap-
pie blossoms" "What you smell, mad
am" said the matter-of-fact attend
ant, with no poetry in his soul, sis
something of an odiferous character
which the artists mix with their paints
nowadays. It wears off in time after
the varnishing." This was art dealing

said she supposed everyone read them.
but that in truth she did not think
there was any mortal who could tell
exactly what Buddhism was. Her own

power of thought transference, of re-

clairvoyance.
Mrs. Lane will not devote her life

Mrs. Lane goes to her strange destina-

wealth and earthly power and yielded
all to search for truth.

WOMEN HAIR DOCTORS.
Treating the Scalp Has Become q
Popular Profession with Clever
City Girls.

A microbe for everything and for
every microbe specialist is the order
of the day. The specialization which
has resulted would appall the old-time
general practitioner who gave you a
pill for your stomach's sake, applied
torceps to your teeth or scissors to
hair, according to the weakness which
beset your members.
A woman's browning glory is the
last thing to have it's properly assigned
microbe, with the result that new
profession has sprung up for refined
and intelligent young women. She
makes diagnosis of each case and
prepares salves and lotions according
to the individual necessity. At regular
intervals, from twice week to once a
month, as the Pocketbooks of her pa
irons allow, she visits the house to
give the prescribed scalp treatment.
Failing hair, by the way, like cavities
in the teeth, and most other disagree
able things, is the work of the numcr-
GUS and ubiquitous microbe, and the
hair expert will tell you that thor
ough brushing every night is a means
of deliverance from the germ, which
lives by chewing up the roots of your
hair, if the brush be absolutely clean.
If not, the brush is a source of con-
tagion rather than a benefit. Every
time a hair brush is used it should be
Immediately cleaned, just as a wash
cloth or tooth brush is cleaned. Put
pint of water with a spoonful of
ammonia into shallow basin. Take
brush by the handle, dip it in the am
monia and water, and shake it out
briskly, repeat once or twice, giving it
final dip in clean water and rub with
a dry towel. About three minutes is
required for the entire process, and
the result is a scrupulously clean
brush.

has come to stay, judging by the num-
Der of smart young women who make
comfortable and independent living

A GREAT STRIKE.
Teamsters md Freight Handlers
Stop Work in Extraordinarily
Thousand Men Involved.

Boston, March 11.--After nearly six
weeks of skirmishing the dreaded la
Dor war between the organized team
sters, freight and express handlers of
Boston, and the two great railroad
corporations, the New York, New
Haven g. Hartford and the New York
Central & Hudson River, the latter To-
cally known as the Boston &, Albany,
broke out Monday. The outlook is that
unless powerful agencies are speed
lily invoked to compel peace, the strug
gle will have far-reaching effect.
The strike, which is a sympathetic one,
already involves 5000 men in and
about Boston. Stopping work be-
cause of the discharge of union men
who refused to handle nonunion
moved freight, the various organiza-
tions now on strike made every effort
Monday to extend their sphere of in
fuence of affiliated bodies, while the
corporations energetically tried to fill
the strikers places and to receive and
dispatch goods offered them. Both
met with some measure of success.
Boston, March 13.-Mayor Collins re-
ceived the following reply Wednesday
to his telegram asking Senator NJ. A.
Hanna to aid him in putting an end
to the strike:
washington, March II, 19O2.-Hon. P. A.
Collins. Boston: Telegram received. If
you will point out way will be glad to
be of service. We should have indica tons
from both sides that our good offices would
be acceptable.
(Signed) M. A. HANNA"
The strike has been extended until
now there are 10000 men involved.

THE MODEL HOSTESS.
Sne Makes Her Guests Feel That
Their Presence Has Been a Pleas
ure to Everybody

The model hostess is quite independ-
ent of either the methods or the criti-
cisms of her neighbors. She enter
tains because she wants to, not be-
cause she has social debts to pay, and
she invites those whom she likes, and
who enjoy the companionship of one
another. She does not go beyond her
means, nor does she make slave of
herself in order to arouse the envy
of her friends. She does not insult
her guests by acting as if she believed
they would not come unless she made
an extravagant display of wealth, or
provided a drawing-card in the form
of some celebrity. She believes that
her friends come to see her because
they like her and are sure of a good
time, and she, as the ideal hostess.
will be the center Of that good time,
because she is truly glad to entertain
her friends. There are wealthy peo-
pie, moving in the most aristocratic
circles, who find their "really good
times" in what is known as social
Bohemia" and it is simply because
while there they are free from the
sickening formalities, the mawkish
pretense, and the glittering sham
of so large portion of the So
called entertainments which they feel
bound to attend. The ideal hostess
can serve cornbread and milk, and her
guests would enjoy themselves more
than they ever could as guests of Mrs.
Parvenue, even though her dinners
cost SIS per plate. The well enter
tanned guestfeels one of the family
circle, and is comfortable in the be-
lief that he has caused no extra labor
or worry, but that his presence has
been a source of satisfaction to the
family.-The Household.
