STOPPING Trains With Wind.

Railway managers nowadays have
a very great respect for air pressure,
and design their trains so as to elm
mate as far as possible the hostile eff
feet of the wind. No such respect
bothered Commodore Vanderbilt, now
ever, says Worlds Work. when Mr..
George Westinghouse first submitted
to him his plan for the use of air.
brakes on railway trains.
Mr.. Westinghouse had been for sew.
eral years hard at work to adapt air
pressure to the purpose he had in
mind-to make the handling of swift
trains safer. He had at last achieved
his object, and with his completed ap-
paratus set out to conquer railway
men. After much difficulty, he Sc
cured an interview with Commodore
Vanderbilt, then the greatest railway
man in the country. The old man
listened to his explanations with dim
inishing patience.
do you mean to tell me-" he broke
in at last, that you can stop a rail-
road train with wind?"
well, yes" replied Mr.. Westing-
house. "As air is wind, suppose you
could call it that"
"I've no time to waste on fools"
said the great man, and the interview
was ended.-Youth's Companion.

Times Have Changed.

In these days, when the health Que1-
tion Is the first thing considered In q
child's upbringing. 1t Is curious to
read the following letter written by
mother In the early tnirties OF the
last century, and quoted by Mrs.
Kirby in Years Of Experience" The
lady is in correspondence with . dear
friend.
why, my dear, Charles has great
friend, physician in the city, VINO
positively forbids his wife putting
stays on her little girl, or making her
sleeves so they interfere with any
movements of her arms. Now she is
fourteen, and it is entirely too late to
save her figure. It Is a perfect shame
to wrong girl so. One can hardly
imagine man sacrificing a daughters
interests to his own erratic notions
when the mischief can never be I'M
DONE"
S Short-sighted father! Perhaps he
was the same physician who gave the
unreasonable directions to two small
boys who were down with chills and
fever. The doctor was called. He
prescribed quinine, and gave strict or.
ders that the small patients should
have neither meat nor coffee while
the attack lasted.
"We only want just quail and one
cup OF coffee apiece" piped up the
younger of the twain, aged five. "And
we're going to have them, too"
1t is sad to say that they did have
them.-Youth's Companion.

A Short Lesson IN Pfatitudes.

We notice that fun is being poked
at Vice President Fairbanks for the
platitudes of his speeches, of which
We seem to be in for a long series.
But we must bear In mind the simple
distinction between the solemn and
the strenuous platituue. Mr.. Fair
banks is easily the master of the for
mer. When ne says, for example, that
political parties should stand for
those measures which are wholesome
he does it with kind of dying fall
which inspires general gloom But
how easy it would be for him to add
the little more and how much it is!
II he would but fiercely defy world
in arms to challenge his statement
that I'VE gladly acknowledge one
country" or threaten to thrash within
an inch of his life any scoundrel who
should question his affirmation that
"our laws must be inspired by a sense
Of justice" he might fairly hope to be
compared to Pericles, and to be listen
ed to by his awe-struck countrymen as
an avatar of eloquence and wisdom.
IF you wish to see me weep" says
Horace, in his famous advice to
American orators, make your plati.
tudes strenuous.

ADVANTAGES of lnfirmity.

Senator lDepew says that the most
interesting instance of true optimism
that ever came to his notice was that
afforded by an old man living near
Peekskill, New York.
This old chap, who could give Mark
Tapley points on how to be cheerful
under adverse conditions, was char
acter in his way, and nearly every
one in Peekskill enjoyed drawing him
out.
He suffered from a combination OF
palsy and st. Vitus dance; and when
he would painfully duck his head from
side to side in the manner peculiar to
his complaint the effect was most dis
tressing.
One. day sympathetic person said
to the old fellow: ut must be dread
fui to be afflicted in this way"
"Oh, don't know" blithely respond
ed the Peekskill man. ut has it's ad-
vantages. Now, it's just the thing

Of them to make a cake, what part

There was a puzzled silence on the

"Ah, l thought Jennie would know,

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement Of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia e. Pinkham's

than by any other medicine, beoause It
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
