REPORTED OF RAILWAYS.

Railroads in Argentina are making
favorable progress, 1t is reported, I'M
der the direction of English capital
lists.
For several years a record has been
kept Of the wear of locomotive wheels
on the Danish state railways. The
single drivers are found to run better
than four-coupled. the latter better
than six-coupled, and in all cases wear
is increased by flimsiness OF road.
The Prussian state railroads during
their fiscal year ending with March
last earned $24,O13,962 more than dur
ing the previous year, seven per cent.
increase. This is nearly s30.000,G00

year began, there having been mean
while a marked improvement in bust
ness in the country.
The German government railroad
exhibit at the st. Louis fair shows the
block system and switch signals now
in use in Germany. More than $500
feet of track. in the construction OF
which both iron and wooden ties were
used, have been laid. There are sta
ton house, two switch towers and one
intermediate block signal post.

while its manufactured products have
increased by 251 per cent. Railroad
mileage has increased 191 per cent,
and the production of pig iron 731 per
cent. In the coal industry alone the
output has jumped since 1880 from
$4,000 annually to $62,OOO,O00. The
development has been steady in all
lines.
The last railroad built in India has
American rails. Americans export
their iron and motors, their machinery,
and galvanic wires to South Africa,
Egypt, too has more than one Phila
delphia bridge. Three hundred rail-
road cars from Jersey City have found

raohs, and in the foundries Of Pitts
burg electrical tramways were forged

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

When a little human machine Tor
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food
which will always bring it around
again.
my little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says
Colorado mother.
Il decided a change might help, SO
took Elm to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
When I reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although
had never used the food, We got some
and for a few days gave him just the
Juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is strong, healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph I send you what strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to a more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con-
tains the elements nature demands.

Cattle Mango Il Decreasing.

Reports from all sections of the
country where cattle mango has ex-
listed would seem to indicate that the
disease Is decreasing. This Is, Of
course, partly due to treatment, but
much is due to the improved conditions
of the cattle, due to better feed. DIR
Parker, in charge Of the bureau of ami
NAL industry at San Antonio, Tex, says
he is much encouraged at the decrease
of scabies in both cattle and sheep in
his territory. He says that the i'm
provement is most noticeable in cattle,
but that the sheep are showing up
well.

"JIM CROW" LAW COMEDIES
Funny Remarks of Colored Humor-
lists About the Restrictions
of Travel.

The Jim Crow law that went into eff
feet down in Maryland this summer has
been more amusing than serious. While
some of the colored folks took exception
to the new law and denounced it vigor-
ously, there were others who found they
had more room and comfort in the Sec
lions Of the coach or steamer allotted to
their use exclusively. Indeed, says the
| New York Times, on some of the big ex-
cursion steamers of the Chesapeake bay
it is common sight to see one or two
colored men enjoying roomy section OF
the deck, while beyond the Jim Crow
boundary the white excursionists are
packed together like the proverbial sar-
dimes. "Ah blebes de white foxes
stepped on deh own toes when dey
passed dis heah Jim Crow BILL" chuck
led colored minister, as he rested his
feet on the steamers guard rail. 'We've
got mo- room den we want en- dey ain t

Der of his fold, "but All had powahful
queer dream last night. All dreampt All

What did de good saint say. brud-
dah?"
HE sed: 'Wah did yo' cum fum?' All
sed: Marylan'' He sed: Praise de
Jaspah walls! Did yo' cum on a Jim
Crow cah?"
The laughter that followed impressed
the hearer that the new law was a joke.
Not long ago an old colored NANNY"
approached Baltimore policeman after
midnight.
Officer" she said, looming out of the
shadows, what kind OBJ a cyah am dat
cummin' around de curve?" The officer
peered at the headlight approaching
through the darkness.

The old woman held up her hands.

An amusing incident occurred on the
water front in the Maryland metropolis.
A rather foppish young steamboat clerk
was in the habit of having his shoes
shined in one of the many Italian boot
black parlors. One evening the parlors
were closed, and the clerk decided to
patrenize colored bootblack for con-
venience. This humble knight of the
box and brush did not relish such pat
ronage, so he decided on a novel plan
to get even. The clerk walked up to the
rickety chair and was about to sit down
when the bootblack shouted:
Hold on, boss! OATS Jim Crow
chair"
Jim Crown" echoed the astonished
dude.
yeas, sar. Alive only got one chair,

But the prospective patron left with
out his shine. Then the sable bootblack
turned to the clam seller with grin.

'Sho," retorted the clam man. ode

Regarding the Age Of Eggs.

An eastern farm paper recently pub
lished a lengthy article on how to tell
the age of eggs. While the article is
very interesting and the information it
contains is no doubt accurate and relia-
BILE, we areof the opinion that the farm
er who makes the most money out Of
eggs 1t is not very material. The only
good egg ts the fresh one, and the way
to make the most money out Of the
sale Of eggs is to get them into the
hands Of the consumer as soon as 1t can
be done after they are laid. Guaran-
teed strictly fresh eggs always find
ready sale, and generally at premium
any time Of year.

Late Chicks and Cold Storage.


Late chicks are bought and put into
cold storage in the fall, being kept in
q frozen condition during the winter,
and sold in the spring as early broilers,
the supply Of this kind Of poultry be-
ing very large. There is one advantage
in 1t, however, which is that It creates
a demand for chicks late in the season.
There are SO many improved modes Of
keeping dressed poultry that the sup
ply is more evenly made to meet the
demand, the surplus being stored for
use as required. So far, however, the
annual demand for early broilers in
April and May has not been affected,
while it must be admitted that the
prices for large chicks. Matched later
than May and sold about October OF
later, are better than before cold stor-
age increased the demand.-Farm and

Where much corn fodder is to be
