covered upon reaching the carhouse
and seeing the miniature train back
out, ready for service.
The engineer ON the front platform

were off at lively pace. Gripping a

of the car, two powerful little coolies.

furnished the motive power which
sent us buzzing over this remarka BILE
little route, through most engaging
scenery.
When under good Roadway, or going
down grade, the motive power"
would jump on to the rear platform
and enjoy period of rest, as the car
sped on of it's own volition. The en-.
gineer's duty, on the front platform,
was to apply the brake and blow a
warning horn upon rounding curves,
or in case anything crossed the track,
it requiring considerable agility on his
part to keep his station, and as we
whizzed around the curves it kept him
busy trying to hang on.
The tirst-class cars have doors at
the end, while the second-class cars
open on the side. The trains, however,
are frequently made up of first-class,
second-class and freight cars.
This miniature monopoly runs its
distance through tiers of rice paddy
fields and fine groves, skirting the Sea

In America a trip of this character,
which occupies about five hours, with
the services of a private car and three
men, would cost several dollars, while

COOKING VEGETABLES.
How to Avoid Mistakes Which Very
Frequently Render Them AbsO-
lutely Tasteless.

A great many cook-books order all
fresh vegetables to be placed in an
abundance of boiling water and
cooked slowly for a considerable
time. Many vegetables are ruined
by being cooked in this way. Po-
tatoes, asparagus, peas and cauli-
flower should be boiled in a small
amount of water and cooked steadily
but slowly. Overlooking will make
all of these vegetables tasteless. Do
not salt any of them until they are
half done.
Young summer cabbage should be
cooked in an abundance of boiling
water. When it has cooked for Is
minutes take it up and cool it in
cold water. 1t may then be chopped
and dressed, allowing cup of
cream, a tablespoonful of -four mixed
with two tablespoonfuls of flour,
salt and pepper. Let the chopped
cabbage simmer in this cream sauce
for three-quarters of an hour. An
other way to cook cabbage is to
blanch, as described. Take out the
heart with scoop, stuff the cab
bage with sausage meat, lay it in
saucepan with a buttered paper over
it, and let it cook one hour, bast-
ing it often with it's own juices.
The best way to cook beets is in
cold water. Wash them well, being
careful hot to puncture them or
break off the tips. Put in sauce
pan, cover with water, add a hand
full of salt and two tablespoonful
of vinegar. Let them boil rapidly
for an hour and ten minutes. If cid
beets, cook an hour longer. Lift one
by one into cold water. peel and re-
turn to -.he water in which they were
boiled, if they are to be cooled.
Carrots should be scraped and
washed, cut in slices half an inch
thick and cook in sailed water for
80 minutes. Serve in cream sauce.
String beans should be boiled slow
ly tor two hours.-N. Y. Tribune.

FUN IN THE CORNFIELD.
How Country Boys Enjoy Themselves
In the Happy Harvest Days of
Indian Summer,

Indian corn forms by far the larg-
est cereal crop OF the western hemis-
phere. In the United States the
amount raised is greater than the sum
Of all our other grain crops, and doubt
less considerably exceeds the total
maize crop of the rest of the world.
The place of maize in the western
hemisphere is similar to that of rice
in the far east. In further token
of the Importance of maize to our
country, it has been proposed to have
this plant adopted for our national
flower"
And l am positive that our country
boys and girls will agree with me in
adding that, of all crops on the farm,
it is first in Importance in the happ.
days connected with it.
No other occupation blends SO har-
moniously with the bright days of
spring as dropping the corn, while the
perch in the nearby shrubbery be-
witching mocking bird song that has
been almost literally translated by
Thoreau: Drop it, drop it-cover it
up, cover it up-pull it up, pull it up,
pull it up"
Then there is the riding horseback
astride old strong-bitted Charles
drawing the cultivator. whoa, now,
l tell you-keep off that hill! Don't
you know this is the end of the row."
Did ever general lead an army with
more dignity and Importance than
Julius on that horse? You country

FUNNY LITTLE RAILROAD.
les Furnished the Motive Power
ON Up-GrAdes.

Probably one of the smallest and
most interesting bits of railroad to be
seen in any country runs between the
pretty little seacoast town of Atami
and Yoshihama, in the province of
LEU, Japan, it's length being about 20
miles.
On our recent tour through the
Land of the Cherry Blossoms" we ar
rived at Atami late in the day, after
most interesting 12-mile tramp over
the ''Ten Province Pass" Our time be.
ing rather limited, we decided to start
sightseeing early on the following
morning by visiting the 1,500-y ear-old
temple of Izusan, three miles distant,
which is regarded as one of the prin-
cipal points of interest to the trav.
eler in the kingdom of Japan.
Mine host, in flowing kimono, with
repeated bows and continuous smiles,
informed US that Atami was quite a
railroad center and that train would
convey us to the temple in quick time.
We accepted his offer, though with re.
greet that after two days hard walk
ing in search of primitive Japan, with
its native customs and scenes remote
from the influences of civilization, we
had found ourselves on the tourist
beaten track, where the civilizing in.

WOMAN'S CHIEF CHARM.
To Keep the Hair in Good Condition
Demands Exquisite Attention
and Care.

Woman's chief charm is her hair,
demanding the most exquisite atten-
ton. It is well to lay the founda-
ton of good head of hair in in
fancy, keeping the ends clipped. hair
thoroughly brushed every day and
the roots carefully washed with tepid
water. One of the best recipes to
prevent the hair from turning gray
is moderation in living and fire.
ouent washings in cold water. Con-
slant worry and prolonged grief
hasten gray hairs. The use of curl
ing-irons, long kept up, also hastens
the ravages of time. Many persons
make the sad mistake of using prep
arations for softening the hair con
tanning oils or greasy substances.
This is great error, as they only
obstruct the pores, preventing it's
growth, the oils gathering every par.
ticle of dust, thereby clogging the
pores of the scalp. Too frequent
shampooing the hair or washing it
with soap and water is very destruc-
tive. Soap, if often used, changes the
color and tends to fade it, although
ordinary yellow kitchen soap keeps
blonde hair from having the usual
dingy appearance. A fine way to
remove dust or oil from the hair is
to dissolve small quantity of white
soap in spirits of wine, rinsing well
with tepid water. The hair should
always be perfectly dried and well
brushed. Tanning thoro 5hly sep
arates the hair, renderingsit soft and
pliable.-Pilgrim.

Spiders Travel ON Wind.

cit is we'll known" says the Revue
Scientifique, that certain spiders can
be transported by the wind, owing to
very light silken thread that they
emit from the spinneret which is
blown along by an ascending current
of air. A thread a yard long, accord
ing to the experiments of NJ. Favier,
can sustain the weight of young
spider. For many years NJ. Favier
has witnessed every spring the disper-
sion of young SPIDERS from a large
number of nests. In few hours, in
favorable weather, 1000 young ones
will set out from the same nest to be-
pin their travels. The spider is not
passive, but can regulate
it's ascent, both at its departure and
Turing the journey. It is sufficient to
increase the length Of the string to
mount more quickly and to shorten it
when wishing to alight- Possibly GER
tain alternating species may accom-
plish a sort Of periodic emigration
by this means"

er, Orme Wilson, married Caroline AS
tor, daughter of the Mrs. Astor who
has long held the scepter over New
York society.
When Grace Wilson married Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, Jr., two continents
became interested in the alliance. 1t
was full of romance and millions, and a
girl with quick wit and pretty face
outwitted the oldest and strongest
branch of the oldest and strongest fam
lily in New York society.
Mrs. Leila Wilson Herbert possesses
that beauty and magnetic charm that
have lifted the Wilson family to their
present prominent position-and the
end is not yet! In London, Paris, Wen
ma, Berlin and New York she has con-
quered, till the best houses in those
cities include the Herberts on their
lists.
The return of Mrs. Herbert to Wash

she formerly appeared as the wife of
it's secretary accurately measures the
distance these two have Travelled up

in very short space of time. And the
appointment is even more significant

Next winter three reigning families
in American society will be attracted
to the capitalize Astors, the Wander
bilts, the Ogden Goelets. Which means
not only an addition of three great
lights, but of all the lesser lights that
follow in their wake.
It means the transferring of the
most exclusive sets of New York to
the national capital, and it means the
entering of the presidents family into
society on scale which has been I'M
known to the white house for some
time past.
It means, too, long step in the so

and it cannot help meaning place for
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., as one
of the foremost leaders of society next
winter.

luck is usually the result of having
closely followed up these three attri-
butes, which must eventually yield
golden results to the faithful"
Miss O'Bryan came to Cripple Creek
with her father. who was also interest
ed in mining in the early SOS, when
Cripple Creek was yet mere tented
village. The trip was then made by
stage coach. Miss O'Brtan, who was
then an expert stenographer, did not
abandon her work on coming to Grip
pie Creek, but at once set up an Of
flee, and with the advent Of the gold
excitement came such a food OF work
as to overwhelm a less industrious
woman.
"The very air of Cripple Creek sug-
gested mining" said Miss O'Bryan, in
describing her initia ton into the camp,
''the atmosphere breathed it, every
body talked mining, the air was con-
tagious with it. When the excitement
first started l invested my meager saw
ings i'll a small way. The excitement
grew with the hours, and l soon saw
to my great establishment my poor lit.
tie investments rolling up into thou
sands of dollars. l shall never aban-
don mining. Assoon as dispose of one
of my claims at good price immed1-
ately invest in other mining proper
ties''
Miss O'Bryan has an Office in one
of the prominent downtown business
buildings, but spends most of her time
cover the hills looking after pros
pective and operative claims. She is
regarded as one of the best judges of
gold ore in the district, and on ac-
count of her accurate and honest judg-
ment in quickly Analysing newly dis
covered ore or still newer mining
projects she is usually confronted By
a flood of appeals from all sources,
asking for her opinion,
Miss O'Bryan has charming person
atty, which is in quite refreshing con-
trast to the prosaic surroundings OF
a grim mining camp. She is one of the
leading spirits in matters concerning
the welfare and development of the
town, and has always been one of the
first to suggest and carry out merited
improvements, which have made Grip
pie Greek something little better than
a mere western mining camp.
