RAILROAD WORLD.

II. B. Spencer, general manager, and C.. S. McManus. general superintendent Of the Southern, left yesterday afternoon at 6:45 o'clock over the Queen and Cres- cent route for Washington. R. A. Du- gan, assistant general manager. who ac- companied MT. Spencer to Birmingham, remains In the city. He will be here two or three days.
 MT. Spencer's party went over the lines of the Southern in this district yester- day. returning to Birmingham about S;3O o'clock. MT. Spencer expressed himself as well pleased with the condition of the Southern's properties in Birmingham and the western district. He is on general tour of inspection.
 Engineer Spencer, one of the oldest men in point of service on the Alabama Great Southern railroad says that the automo- bilist has taught him a valuable lesson in protecting his eyes. He has adopted the regular auto goggles and each after noon that he leaves Birmingham on his fast run to Chattanooga he can be seen at the station wearing a pair of these glasses.
 You sec" he said at the station yes- terday just before he pulled out. 'I am taking care of my eyes these days had a hot race with an automobile com ing down one morning on No. and l wondered how the fellow protected his eyes. He was moving along in regular cloud of dust It occurred to me that he and dpter- mined to try them.
 'I bought a pair and they are won derful protection. The more dust find on the goggles the more I have kept out of my eyes All the dust and dirt that hits the goggles would have gone into my eyes if I did not wear the glasses.
 q find that the modern man can teach us old fellows a new thing or two every now. and then, and I try to pick up anything that can be useful to me in my business. We have such fast runs to make that we need everything we can get to aid us in keeping in the very best of condition"
 Birmingham lodge No. 79, B. ?. o. E., has chosen the Queen and Crescent route as the official route to Buffalo, N. Y, in connection with the Big Four and the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern.

A New Gown

Bridge whist devOtees must begin all
over again If they want to be in it,
the coming summer.
The new game is slxat, which is be-
ing taken up with great furore by the
game-playing set. Skat is also spelled
scat. Its derivation Is wrapped I'm as
much mystery as that of whist or
bridge. It has been played for many
years in Germany, Austria and Swe-
den, but only recently in London has it
had the vogue it now possesses. In
Germany 1t is the game among the stu
dents and army officers. The Kaiser
lis said TO have a game every night of
his life.
The game is usually played by three.
The "gane." as II is termed, which cor
responds in a way to trump" is made
by bidding and the highest bidder has
then to play against the other two.
Sometimes another is allowed to play,
but the fourth is always on the side
of the adversary and is not allowed to
make the "gane."
In slSat all the cards below seven are
taken out; ten are dealt to each Of the
three players and the remaining two
are put in the "sSat."
The term "gane" does not exactly
correspond with the term trump" fol
in skat you sometimes make a trump
sometimes you do not. that being at ths
will of the highest bidder, who con.
trolls. The game as played without &
trump is called ''nello."

and rlnsed his mouth, sits upon the
ground. holds the larger pieces be-
tween his teeth while he cuts OFF a bite
with his knife. but does not use both
hands to hold food except in gnawing
bones. with the usual dishes he lays
his right arm over his knees and,
reaching into the pot, molds the thick
mess into Jumps about the size Of a
walnut, which he throws into his
mouth with a jerk without scattering
any Of the food. To take out vegeta-
bles or soup he presses hollow into

is shown to the host or housewife after

Health and Beauty

A couple Of teaspoonfuls Of olive oil
before dinner does wonders in nourish-
ing ailing ones.
Dull eyes may be made bright by
improving the general health and more
especially nervous vigor. One may also
immerse the eyes once or twice daily
in tepid water.
DO not cut the eyelashes. An eye
lash is a pointed hair. When it has
been cut it will never again become
pointed. All lashes fall out after a
time and their places are taken by
new ones.
Thin people should try to take life
easily. Worry wears away the flesh,
and the same remark applies to fits
Of temper, habitual jealously, envy
and all excitement Thin people should
avoid vinegar and pickles. Claret is
not good for them. The articles Of
diet that help in fat formation are
numerous. Among them are: Choco-
late, cocoa. sugar. fat meat. milk.
cream. stout, butter fish cooked in
oil salads dressed with OIL Cod liver
oil is fattening in itself and it helps
in the disposal of other foods. A per-
son taking. say. one tablespoonful Of
cod liver oil every day will often put
on a weight of flesh greater than that
of the oil.

"Church Leap" is something sleeper
than the roof OF a house. and to see
one OF the masters Of tobogganing nego-
tlatlng II Is. as the Bystander observes.
a vision for the gods. But the most
exciting place, without doubt, is at the
finish. After a longlsh strip Of straight
and a sudden dip the course rushes up
a steep hill and at the summit loses II
self In soft snow on the level. So ter
rife is the speed Of the tobogganer at
this point that, although he brakes
hard up the hill, he cannot prevent bis
machine from leaping skyward at the
top. To see rider after rider sweep
up that slope and dy into the air, land
ing twenty, thirty or forty feet on In a
shower Of snow, is TO experience an
indescribable thrill.
