Record Locomotive BUILDING.

The Stratford works of the Grea,
Eastern Railway, in England. have the
record of a locomotive engine buut in
ten hours-a large freighter with a
tender. Before the actual construc-
tion was begun the various parts were
laid close at hand. ready for fitting to-
gether. The workmen began early in
the morning and continued until TIE
breakfast bell rang. Then the par
ly-built engine was photographed.
After q half hours rest the workmen
returned to the task and continued
till the dinner hour. when another
photograph was taken. Thus the
work proceeded till the engine WAS
completed. with the exception of \
coat Of paint. This was quickly laid
on by u spraying machine. and in less
than half an hour was perfectly dry.
The locomotive was then sent on q
trial journey a few miles up the line
and all proved satisfactory. SO it was
sent with a baggage train. 1t has
been in active service ever since.

TABLE MANNERS.
Little Bits of Information as 10
Correct Thing in
Etiquette.


II the function-luncheon or oihnei
lis one of ceremony, and gloves d
worn at the table, they should De &c
moved as soon as one is seated, anu
laid in the lap, says the American
Queen. The napkin is unfolded TO ha'i
its amplitude, and also laid across 'ue
lap. Gentlemen do not tuck their nap
kins in their waistcoats. no matter no"
convenient they may find such an ar
rangement.
J The napkins which at dinner are
placed upon the plates hold the dinner
rolls or the slices of bread Remove
the bread as soon as seated, and place
it at the left of the plate. The nap
kin. at the end of the meal. is left IN
folded at the left side.
Bread is always broken in small
pieces. never cut, and never crumpled
into soup or sauce.
Soup is taken from the side of the
spoon. which is filled by drawing II up
from the opposite edge of the soup
plate. Soup. of course, must be taken
noiselessly. No one takes a second
helping. or tips the plate to secure the
last mouthful.
Fish. in days past, was taken with
fork. supplemented by bit of bread;
nowadays, a silver knife is allowable,
forks and knives for fish being made
of a special pattern. All vegetables are
eaten with a fork; asparagus with a
knife and fork, although it may be
eaten with the fingers If one prefers
TO do so. A very safe rule. however.
is never TO touch any bit of food with
the fingers if possible Peaches and
pears are peeled. cut in half. and then
broken by the fork and thus eaten. An
orange may be cut in half, and then
eaten with an orange spoon. or it may
be peeled entirely. then divided into
sections and eaten with fork.
All pies are eaten with a fork only.
and most buildings. except custards.
which require a spoon Soft cakes are
eaten with fork. while jellies, no mat
ter how hard, are eaten with a spoon
There are dozens of people who
would be MORALLY offended by the sug-
gestion that they ate with a knife. But
they must be careful how they thrust
knife into a dish of sweets or Of
any sauce. and convey a portion Of
these to pieces of bread or cake. This
is most unfortunate breach of table
manners
In using the knife and fork a move
ment OF the wrist, and not of the elbow,
is the proper thing; we occasionally
see people using their elbows vigorous
ly. The handle of the knife should re-
pose In the center OF the hand. and no
part of the hand should touch the knife
above the handle. In using the fork.
only the half of the handle is covered
by the hand.

coLORS THAT WILL RULE.
Some Dress Hints for Feminine Fol-
lowers of the Latest in
Vogue.

What will be the four most popular
colors of the winter?" asked woman
of her modiste, according to the Brook
Ign Eagle.
Heather brown, hunters green, old
tree bark brown and ecru," replied the
modiste unhesitatingly. with dashes
of red and blue and green trimmings"
And what will be the most fash
ionable materials?'
THE rough effects. until II is time
TO wear furs; then the smooth satiny
cloths TO better set off the furs. Ii
will be an expensive winter for the
well dressed portion OF femininity. for
a woman must wear the heavy cloths
now and the rough surfaces; while. la
ter she must make an entire change TO
broadcloths and satin faces. That is,
IL she would be in the mode"
And. indeed, it seems as If woman
must be perpetually making changes in
her wardrobe. for no sooner does she
get settled in style and fitted out in
gowns. than something new comes
along which absolutely demands atten-
ton and a change
The fiounce which was trying TO go
out of style is now trying to get back
in. And II is succeeding, for every
other gown has fiounce set upon the
skirt But II is done in a new way
The fiounce. instead of being added to
the skirt. is so arranged that it seems
to be part of the skirt. lengthening
it. instead of merely acting as the trim
ming.
When the very rough goods are worn
the fiounce is sometimes cut different
way of the goods, and. so. it looks
quite another material and very pretty
it is with its contrast OF color and
grain. The camel's hair goods and the
beaver surface sometimes have a bias
flounce. And one gown, slatey. suede
colored zibeline. had a fiounce of deep,
dark slate colored velvet.

PUBLICSCHOOL TRAINING,

Edwin q. Cooley, superinten-
dent of the public schools in Chi
cago proposes to organize the pu-
pills into a miniature republic
and teach them by actual exper-
fence their duties as citizens.
The national representatives Will
be elected from the grammar
schools, and the national senators
from the high schools. State and
city governments will be formed
In the same way. The Austria
Han ballot system will be used in
elections and the machinery of
the national government copied
IN every detail.
Young men not only will be
allowed to vote but will be eli
glble to election as senators, con-
gressmen and aldermen. In fact
the little government will be
founded upon the principles of
oc-education and equal suffrage.
If this plan is carried out it
will supply the missing element
IN our public school work. Edu
cation given by the state should
hit the child to take his place in
the state as citizen and To per.
form the duties of citizenship.
The growing corruption of poll
tics shows that so far our public
schools have failed in all these
important particulars.
Think what it would be to have
Prof. Cooley's ideas carried out
IN all our public schools. Think
of the uplift politics would re-
ceive if every graduate of the
grammar and high school under
sfoo the sacredness of the bal
lot, and the necessity of using It
for the public good. The boys
accustomed to seeinl girls voting
and holding office in the mimic
state would not be likely to de-
velop into men opposed to equal
rights. The girl accustomed to
think of herself as a citizen would
never develop into a remonstrant
nor would she placidly accept the
legal conditions that class her
with idiots, lunatics, criminals
and minors.
One can hardly over-estimate
the good that would result from
such training in citizenship and
Prof. Cooley's experiment will
be watched with interest, espe-
cially by those who believe that
women are citizens and that they
should have the same political
, rights that men citizens have.
