burg Concern.

tory over foreign competition. "A deal
has just been closed which places an
enormous order for bottles with firm in
this city, the largest of the kind in the
history Of the firm. Were the bottles to

a string about 1900 miles long, from. New
York to Chicago, and then back to Pitts
burg.

Md, proprietors Of Hunter Baltimore Rye,

tract for furnishing $4,000 gross Of bottles

BURLINGTON BUYS IT
Line Between Sioux City and St. Louis
VIII Not Be Built.

Special to The Journal.
Sioux City, March 10.-John w. Gates
has fulfilled the predictions of the con-
sentative element by selling to the Bur-
lington system the railroad which he pro-
claimed would be built from st. Louis to
Sioux City. The line began building at
Centerville, Iowa. about year ago. Sew
enty miles are completed from Center
vile to Novinger, Mo. PRESIDENT Reddig
recently announced the line would be built
through to st. Louis and to Sioux Citl.
The Burlingto awaited long enough to be
satisfied the deal was not a bluff, and
bought the road and it's valuable coal
lands. The Burlington has a fairly good
route from Macon to st. Louis, so there is
no prospect of the line being built any
farther in either direction.

Minneapolis G. St. Louis.

"The decrease in Minneapolis & St.
Louis earnings for February is explained
by the management as due to the ina
bility of the road to furnish a sufficient
number of cars to move the traffic which
it could have obtained had the equip
ment been adequate. Measures are being
taken to remedy this trouble, and it Is
expected that the March showing will be
better.
Iowa Central earnings continue to
show decreases owing to conditions which
have prevailed for several months. The
principal factor in the decrease Is the alb
sence of corn tonnage. The crop in Iowa
Central territory was short owing to
weather conditions and is being fed in
stead Of shipped. 1t is hardly probable
that any marked increase in receipts can
be expected for some time -

Some OF the queerest soldiers in the
world are to be found In San Domin-
go. or Dominican Republic, as it is
officially called.
An Englishman who ran a steam
ship business in San Domingo City
says there were four or five generals
among the hundred coal carriers he
employed. They coaled the steamers
by carrying big baskets on their heads
at % cents a day. Now and then they
would take day Off to review their
armies, conduct manoeuvres or fight
revolutionists.
One of these generals had no uni
form. so he sole pair of gold-laced
pants from a shop. He was caught
with the goods and punished by be-
ing paraded around town on donkey.
face toward the tail, with the ''pants"
tied around his neck.
The soldiers are not volunteers.
When the government wants troops It
simply sends into the country districts
and seizes the laborers In the fields
and the travellers on the roads At
first they are naturally disconnected,
but when they find that soldiers have
no work to do they like their new
job.
They are furnished with a suit Of
clothes every year. but 1t doesn't last
them long. They are inveterate gamb-
lers. After they have lost all their
money they gamble away their uni
form, keeping nothing save their
rifles. an old pair OF trousers. and .
ragged shirt. Naturally, the army Is
more picturesque than splendid when

To Prevent Color Blindness.

Some time since we spoke of the sue
cess which may follow In educating
those supposedly blind to see. It has
been found that the remnants of func
ton in those supposed to be blind may
often be so improved as to take these
patients entirely out of the blind class
and make them enjoy useful vision. II
is but corollary of this that the de
ficiencies of vision called color blind
ness are also preventable. Function,
1t must ever be repeated. depends up
on education and exercise, and 1t Is a
necessary part Of the great physiologic
law that the perception Of colors will
be lost if the eye is not exercised IN
their perception. That the defect is
dependent upon non-exercise is indi'
Gated by the fact that 1t is far less
common In women than in men. In
10000 men 369 are affected, while only
nine are found in the same number Of
women. The proportion among savage
men Is less than among civilized men.
But. of course, the education and ex.
ercise must begin in early childhood.
And there is some proof that this exer-
else In childhood does stimulate color
perception and prevent color blindness.

A Wsirsd sunarstition.

Among the Greeks of Macedonia there is a belief that if a cat jumps over a corpse the dead man will be transformed into some strange animal unless kept quiet by long pins thrust into him. There is also a superstition that Turks who have led a particularly wicked life. when at the point of death, turn into wild boars and the ring worn by the man on his finger is retained on one of the boar's forefeet. The metamorphosis takes place as follows: The sinner first begins to Erunt like pig, he then fails on all fours and finally rushes out of the house grunt. ing wildly. and leaping over hedges, ditches and rivers until he has reached the open country. At first he visits the houses of Is friends, and more especially those of his foes. and knocks at their doors for admittance. He chases with evil in tent all those whom he meets on the way and generally makes himself disagreeabIe. This he continues doing for forty days, and at the end of that period he betakes himself to the mountains where he abides as wild beast.

When Boys Were Hanged.

Before 1899 it was not uncommon to hang boys of tender age for murder or other crimes. Blackstone cites a case in which a boy ten years of age was con victed on his own confession of murder ing his bedfellow, and the judges unani- mously agreed that he was a proper sub ject for capital punishment. Samuel Rogers mentions that Greville was pres ent when several boys were sentenced to be hanged for taking part in the Cor don riots of 17S0. Never" naively re- marked Greville. did l see boys cry SC" l" Tn 1872 a boy.
