Five Cents Average Fare.

Five cents is the almost universal rate
of fare for the urban lines in the United
States. although more than one-third OF
the companies offer lower rates under
certain conditions. Frequently six tick
cts are sold for twenty-five cents. but
occasionally larger number is re-
quired to be purchased in order to secure
4 low rate. Some companies give re-
duced fares to workingmen during GER
tain hours OF the day and TO school

Hat Problem Is Solved.

Even in the hats kind Dame Fash
ion has considered her well, and i'll
provided children, for after long years
OF partiality to the fair maid or the
slender maid she has decreed TO so
shape her orders this year that every
body will be happy. Surely the girl who
cannot be 50 in the spring of 1905 is
hard to please and not worth bothering
about.
In the matter of headwear it can no
longer be problem. for so varied is
the collection of shapes. sizes, and
styles that one cannot Fail to find some
thing becoming, and, at the same time,
so suggestive of spring that even If it
does not conform to some other persons s
idea of style, it is consonant with the
mandates of this years schedule.
Another noticeable feature OF the
spring display in various Washington
stores is that the costumes and hats are
designed especially for spring and do
not cover, to any great degree, the sum-
mer fashions. This is another case of
living for the present, even in fashions.
and seems to predict that the next few
weeks will be genuinely springlike in
all accessories of feminine wear.
Rarely in local fashion annals has the
silk suit been so predominant and SO
fetching as this year. 1t seems almost
impossible to exhaust the resourceful-
ness of this material. 1t is made up In
almost every conceivable style Street
gowns, office gowns and dainty little
connections for afternoon wear utilize
this material.

~ AEON Y. TANJMOTO, a japanese
* student at the Normal College of
Marion, Ind, says that the ques-
ton is constantly asked How is
il that the japanese do not fear death?'
Answering this. he says: In the West
ern countries many even of the learned
and the great have not been able TO face
death with resolution. In Japau no edu-
cation is needed to enable a man 10 meet
death with n quiet mind and resolute
spirit The Japanese needs no religion
with its promise of future life to en-
able him to meet death calmly and with
resignation. Death is regarded by him
as a return to former condition. He
believes in the Buddhistic doctrine Of
the transmigration Of soul.
THE spirit Of the Samurai. the ancient
today possesses the Japa-
'nese people and gives them enthusiasm
and patriotism. Unlike the American,
the japanese does not kill himself by
poison, rarely by shooting. The govern
rnent does not permit the common peo-
pie TO carry revolvers in their pockets.

TT HE first passenger car ever con-

used in New York city in the
third decade of the last century.
From that time to this the street car

world. Today it is not only regarded as
one of the most necessary public con-
yariences, but as one OF the most
profitable branches of business. Great

EFFORT CURES INSOMNIA
Physician Demonstrates Method OF
Inducing Sleep by Tlrlns Use

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 1s.-At the
Mississippi Valley Medical convention
recently, DR.. ]. B. Learned of North
ampton, Mass, gave an interesting
demonstration of his muscular
method of inducing sleep, as opposed
to the use of drugs. He said that as
the result Of an accident twenty-five
years ago he became victim of insom-
MIA. To treat insomnia without drugs,
with himself as the patient, became his
special study.
With two couches on the platform
and two physicians as subjects, he d.
rected one of them to lie upon his
back and to extend his legs so that If
possible he might add to his length.
The other subject was to lie upon his
side, with his arms extended beyond
the couch and also to lie at full length.
IF the person lying in this position
keeps up this exertion," DIR. Learned
said, "he will certainly soon feel a
sense of fatigue and desire to abandon
that position. He will turn over on
his side and curl up in the usual way.
assume that by this exertion thou
sands of muscular cells have been
broken down and that repairs must
go on"
He then gave examples of slow and
rapid breathing and said that the mind
in counting such efforts induced sleep.
Another method, he said, was to draw
UP leg with the respiratory act.

CREOSOTE FOR RAILWAYS
Big Shipment for Treating Ties USED
on the Santa Fe Rail-
road

From the New York Tribune
The tie treating plant of the santa
Fe railroad at Somerville, Tex, Is SAID
to be the largest in the world. The
largest shipment of creosote ever maze
is on it's way to Galveston on the
Steen1sbi,, Pecton from London. It
carries 100000 gallons of creosote, OF
which 100000 gallons are for the
Santa Fe's tie treating plant at SOM
erville. e. o. Faulkner, superintend-
ent of the tie and timber department
of the Santa Fe, with headquarters at
Topeka, Kas., is at Somerville to ar
range for receiving the large shipment
He said
some idea of the magnitude of the
present shipment can be obtained when
it is stated that in the United states
last year there were produced but 49,
OGO 900 gallons of creosote. The Somer-
Vile plant consumes a little more than
400 900 gallons of the stuff month, or
something like 100000 gallons year:
Creosote Is a distillation from coal
gas. The cause of the necessity for It's
shipment from Europe is that In Amer
lea the use of creosote a. year or Two
ago had not reached such proportions
as to warrant the change in the ovens
used in producing coal gas. The use
of the old ovens allowed the creosote
to go up in smoke. In Europe every
thing is saved, creosote being among
them With a change in the ovens
used In gas making creosote could be
produced in sufficient quantities in this
country, and probably will be.
1t is no easy job to ship the product
in bulk. Until quite recently 1t has
been shipped in barrels. Now the hull
of the ship is filled with the stuff, and
it is brought over in that way. One
of the troubles encountered in hand
ling 1t in bulk is the danger of solidify-
ing. To prevent this the ship has to
be filled with heated coils to keep the
stuff at a certain temperature. In 1885
there were treated in the United States
only 211, 900 ties. In 1894, practically
ten years later, there was an increase
to 100000. In 1904 the figure was 49,
III 900. The necessity of making tim
Der of all sorts last as long as posi-
BILE has begun to be realized.
The Santa Fe has ceased the use Of
the tannin and the zinc treatment at
it's timber treating plant and now uses
nothing but creosote, which is the best
wood preserving material on earth. 1t
has been in use more than fifty years,
and it's worth had been proved. 1 be-
lieve that 1t will not be long before
nothing but creosote will be used for
preserving timber.

but night or two later Mr.. Terries no
ticed that he was not wearing the muf-
