MAMMOTH G. N. Engines

The G. N. Ry. Co. recently pur-
chased q number Of large engines.
from the Brooks Works at Dun
kirk, N. Y. Five OF these great
engines arrived here this week.
and will probably remain on
the terminal OF the Dakota and
Montana Division. They are
made by the American Locomo
tive Co., and have allthe modern
improvements, and are much
heavier and larger than any OF
the other engines at this point.
As freighters the 1900 class are
the most powerful in the G. N.
use today, weighing $50 tons
and capable OF drawing 1000
tons. This will do away with
the much disputed double head
ers.

How to Cure black Heads.

Scrub the face every night with re-
sorcin and salicylic acid soap and hot
water. using a fine face brush. Dry
the face with a soft damask towel.
Then rub some of this ointment gently
over the face and go TO bed: White pre-
cipitate. 3 d%ecigrams: boric acid,
grams; %lanolin, up to 80 grams. Squeeze
out large black heads with a clean
watch key dipped in alcohol. A safe
rule to follow is never to squeeze OF
handle a black head which cannot be
plainly seen in a mirror held three feet
distant from the face.

CARE OF E CLOTHING.


How to Renovate 1t When IL shows
Signs Of shabblness.
When partly worn suits are properly
mended and renovated, 1t greatly i'm
proves their appearance and makes
them last much longer than II this
work is neglected. When the back Of
the coat becomes shiny, sponge 1t
well. lay a cloth over 1t and iron 1t dry.
Place q piece of thin, firm goods under
three cornered tears and tiny breaks
when they occur and darn the edges
down to 1t. When the edges Of the
coat or vest become worn, remove the
braid. II there is any. and replace II
with new. The back of the vest often
wears out before the rest of the gar
ment. and when such Is the case re-
move the old back. press 1t carefully
and use 1t as a pattern to cut the new
one by. You a see how to put 1t in
by examining a new vest. The corners
of the pockets should be sewed back In
place as soon as they begin to tear
down.
A thorough brushing and cleaning ars
often necessary, but many cleaning
fluids contain strong drugs which are
neither necessary nor advisable for
this purpose. as they often fade the
cloth. The following Is a very simple
and effective method of cleaning coat
collars and removing soiled spots from
wooden clothing: Prepare a strong,
foamy suds by dissolving pearline in
hot water. dip a clean. stiff brush In 1t
and scrub the soiled portion with 1t.
An old toothbrush that has been dis
carded for toilet purposes is good for
this work. Dip 1t in frequently, chang
ing the suds for n clean n whenever
It gets dirty. When the spots are re-
moved. scrub with clean water and
hang 1t up until dry enough to iron.
Press IL on the wrong side or If that Is
not convenient cover the right side
with a cloth and iron until perfectly
dry.

Washington Letter in New York Post.
Among the many proposals which have
been submitted to the Carnegie Institution
for the use of its funds in new lines of
scientific research, few are more interest
ing than that for a Desert Laboratory
which has just been acted upon favorably
and for which plans are now making. Mr.
+. V. Coville, the botanst of the depart
ment of agriculture. proposed the scheme.
the arid regions were comparatively little
understood. but that investigation of
their peculiar functions by his bureau was
not sufficiently unitarian for the present
purposes of the department of agriculture
Perhaps after scientists have found out
how these desert plants assimiate so many
of the elements of the soil without water
except I'm the most minute quantities, the
practical side will come into play, and man

where there is no water. Irrigation. even
when fully developed, will bring TO fer

THE TWO ARCOLAS.

Kansas City Star.
At Arcola, Ill, trainloads of coal were
seized on Saturday night by the people as
an extreme measure of protection against
the bitter cold. The thermometer had fallen

famine. The coal was carefully weighed
and will be as carefully paid for, but ii was
confiscated on the strong and proper plea
of necessity.
1t is not to be supposed by the most
strenuous advocate of property rights that
any community in America would think of
suffering for the lack of food or fuel If
those commodities could be obtained under
any circumstances. The law of the land
cannot take precedence over the law of
necessity. That is supreme and il will not
be denied in any case where the means ex-
list for supplying it.
No action will be taken in regard to this
Arcola matter, either by the municipality
or the railway company. This decision is
in itself an acknowledgment of the right of
the Arcola people to satisfy their pressing
wants. The appropriation of the fuel was
not attended by the least manifestation of
disorder, though coal riots have been feared
in the large cities where the exigencies of
the poor are extreme and where the distress
is crucial.

A CRUEL MEASURE.


Cleveland Leader.
A brief but disgraceful little bill was
slipped through the House of Representa-
tives during the first week of the present
session, and il is now pending in the
United States Senate. All humane men
and women ought to make their influence
felt against its passage by that body.
The substance of the bill is change
from twenty-eight hours. as the extreme
limit during which live stock may be kept
without food, water, rest, while being
transported on interstate railways, to for
ty hours For many years the present
time limit has stood, and the railroads
have arranged their feeding stations and
the schedules of their stock trains to suit
the requirements of the law But certain
shippers and some railway officials prefer
to the risk of losing more animals In
transit to. the great markets of the coun-
try, and so save little expense and trou-
BILE demanded by the existing law. Accord
ingly they want the privilege of causing
more suffering TO domestic animals carried
on railway trains.
1t is a request which Congress ought
never to grant. Improved stock cars.
which afford proper facilities for feeding
and watering and resting the animals car
ried in them, are now exempt from the
provisions of the law requiring rest and
feeding stations not more than twenty
eight hours apart. To subject live stock
to any harsher treatment than is now en-
dured would be disgraceful to this enlight-
| ened age
One of the best features of modern prog
| ress has been the greater care taken of
animals dependent upon man, and no step
| backward will be possible if the humane
men and women of the United States will
make their influence felt in the Senate.
