THE AABI Of HASTE
AND THE SERIOUS RESULTS 70
WHICH TT OFTEN LEADS
Hastily Swallowed Food and Irregular
Meals Are Sources OF Much Suffer-
Ing In This Country.

One popularity Of Americans upon
which visitors from other countries com
ment is the habit Of haste. This ex-
tends even to eating. 1s Meals are eaten
hurriedly and irregularly; food is swal-
lowed half masticated and the stomach
is unthinkingly neglected and abused to
such an extent that nine-tenths of our
people are dyspeptics. Take the case of
Mrs. Ida M. Turro, the wife of a pros
porous farmer at Brainerd, Crow Wing
county, MINI. She says:

ing ruined my digestion and / was mis-

A Scientific Kitchen.

The moderen home too frequently lacks
a scientific Kitchen. The model kitchen is
well lighted and ventilated, and so ar
ranged that the sWork can be done with
ease and comfort. The cooking is done on
a gas range with a5hood to carry off the
odors. There are also two yentilators on
opposite sidesi1 Of the room which free
the Kitchen of all odors. Hot water is
procured by pipes from small stove in
the laundry in the basement, making it
possible to always have hot water with
out overheating the. kitchen. It is not
necessary to add that the model home
keeps golden grain belt beef always on
hand # lightens the work Of the cook
and adds greatly to the healthfulness and
pleasure Of the home.

THE OLDEST RAILROAD

TIME traveller who leaves Plymouth
for London by the Great Western
Railway. says the Railroad Ga
zette," Will notice when he has proceed
ed two and three-quarter miles and is
passing the gath mile post from Pad
dington that the train crosses a single
line of railroad almost at right angle
on the level To it Immediately succeeds
an overbridge. and then. on the left-hand
or of side, may be seen the single
line in question, laid upon rough stone
blocks, but presenting a decidedly out
of-date appearance. Perchance a train
of four or five little trucks, loaded with
square Jumps of china clay and drawn
by a couple of horses, may be seen. but
in half a mile the old line trends away
northward and is lost sight of. 1t be-
longs to the oldest railroad company IN
the world.
was incorporated on July 2. 1919. for
making and maintaining a tramroad Of
iron railway for carriages or wagons and
other carriages" from Crabtree to near
the prisons OF war on Dartmoor. These
prisons had been erected about ten years
before on the loneliest and widest tract
OF land that could be found. to accom-
modate the French prisoners of war who
inconveniently crowded Plymouth sounl
in hulks. The protector of the line, how
ever. Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, had a great
idea that DaTtmOor was capable OF cuI-
tivation.
The Plymouth and Dartmoor Railway
Company was dissolved, and reincorpor-
ated by an act of 1865, for the purpose
of bringing IL under the provisions OF
modern acts as to steam power, etc.
The old rates were revised, and power
was taken to carry passengers. II then
owed e75.000 to the mortgages, Messrs.
Johnson, who released IL on being paid
in shares. The company has since con-
structed some local lines near Plymouth
which are worked by the Great Western
and the London and Southwestern; in
fact, IL is virtually a joint line now.
Still though it owns no rolling stock II
has nominally an independent existence
receives it's rents, maintains a London
office, and may undoubtedly be consid-
cred the oldest railway company in the
| world.

Strangely enough. deaf mutes take
great pleasure in dancing. Stranger
still, they prefer to dance to the &C
compartment of good music. They can
not hear the sounds of the orchestra, but
they feel the rhythm of the music, and
their sensitive nerves respond especially
to such instruments as the bass viol,
the tuba horn and trombone. The vibra-
ton of the music acts upon party Of
mutes as the melody does upon those
who hear, and their feet and bodies fall
into the rhythm of the dance.
Edwin A Hodgson. one of the instruc-
tors in the New York Institution for the
instruction of the Deaf and Dumb is one
of the chief promoters of entertainment
for mutes in the United States. He be-
Iieves the life of the deaf should be as
full of activity and of social cheer as
that of other people. Prof. HOdgson is
an ardent advocate of dancing. and he
has been instrumental in holding sew
eral large balls in New York, which
only mutes attended.
Prof. Hodgson is himself a mute, and
never heard the sound of the human
voice or a note of music in his life. He
can, however. talk freely and hold q
conversation by watching the lips of the

in the building. That means the saw
ing of many of his brave firemen at
least. He is satisfied with trying to
keep the fire in the central power sta
ton, and he is successful in the effort.
The crowd stands quietly watching the
fire and no policeman is needed to keep
them back From across the street
there is sudden sharp "craaaaack"
and a tinkling OF glass. One OF the big
windows of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany has broken under the heat
All night long and far into the day
the firemen watched beside the burning
building, and when the danger was over
grimy, worn and staggering from IA
tigue. they clambered on their engines
and went slowly back TO stations The
big building was a ruin, and the smol-
dering pile smoked for a month after
ward
The site, you will remember, has
been bought for the new District Build
ing. When that is up no one but the
older inhabitants will recall the great
est fire Washington ever saw.

Before the music started the only

ceremony that prevails in less silent

TINE other day a man, walking
across the waste space between
Thirteenth and Fourte h
Streets, just south of Pennsylvania Ave-
nue., where once stood the massive CEN
trail powerhouse of the Capital Traction
Railway, kicked his foot against bit
of rusted iron sticking an inch or two
above the ground. Digging the earth
and debris from around II he found it
to be a fire-scarred and rusted carpen-

might have been seen walking leisuIly
down the Avenue. He wore his Prince

and swung a smart bamboo cane. The
first glance showed that he was an &C
tor; no one could read to any other pur-
pose the erect bearing and the stage
walk assumed even at this late hour
the air of being constantly applauded.
He carried his very cane as If it were

playing no less a role than the hind
legs of the giant polar bear. He was
soon to play a role greater than he
had ever before attempted.
Suddenly, as he looks W at the great
bulk OF the Central Powerhouse, he
sees a tongue of fire lick out one of the
windows. He loses not a moment. but
rushes TO the nearest box. in front of
Wizards Hotel, and turns in an alarm
In n few moments the noise of a heavy
engine and the clatter of horses hoofs
come swiftly down the Avenue, and
Pomeroy. does not have 10 show them
where to drive. The great building is
now afire within and without, and a
crowd has already gathered on the side

is sent in. and a dozen engines appear
on the scene. But they are too late.
