The "Lokal Anzeiger" states that
the 'watchman" at crossing on the
Russian Southern railway, who goes
under the name of Alexander Rod

high railway official. She sought
and found work as a navy on the
line some time ago, and proved so in
;elligent and Industrious as to soon
become foreman. When the position
IS Waterman became vacant, it was
given to her, and she discharged the
duties with unfailing regularity and
zeal.
Chance led to the discovery that
the ''watchman' was a lady, a blue
stocking who had taken a university
degree, ana distinguished classical
scholar. She disappeared from home
is months ago, and her relatives had
given up all hope of seeing her again,
when they heard of the curious en-
ployment she had accepted As soon
as new Waterman can be appointed
she will be sent back to her parents.
1t is not known why she gave up her
studies to become manual laborer.

NEW METHOD OF OPERATION.
Powerful Magnet Used to Extract q
Piece of Steel from Cheek of
W0rkingman.

John Getegg, an apprentice at the
navy yard at Vallejo, Cal, was
severely injured by piece of
steel which flew from tool, i'm
bedding itself in his face. 1t was
thought that the metal had been en-
tirely removed from the wound, but
recently it showed indications of the
presence Of foreign substance. Mas
ter Electrician Petrie became inter-
ested in the case, and rugged up a mag
net of design Of his own, capable of
lifting 500 pounds. The magnet was
held directly over the orifice, and the
current turned on. In an instant the
offending piece of metal few from
the wound and attached itself to the
magnet, demonstrating a new method
of applying electricity in surgical OPP
erations.

Hascall's report was cooked.
The corporation bosses recognized Zim-
man as an outspoken foe, making him the
object of their unremitting attacks. Dur
ing a fight for trackage privileges between
rival railways Zimman had plainly drawn
his conclusions, but the lobbyists of the
line he favored were not SURE OF him and
they sent emissaries who sought to bind
him solid. He received them coolly several

The illustration furnishes an idea Of
the Cotswold sheep, which are becom-
ing very popular, as breeders under
stand that they require good care. AS
lamb producers they rank very high,
while the fleece Is heavy and Of first
grade. Considerable trouble has been
experienced in raising the breed in
some sections, for seemingly they were
not suited to the climate.
No trouble will be experienced in
this respect il the animals are given
suitable quarters, where they may be
free from wet and sufficiently warm
so that there is no danger OF chilling.
