QUARRYINC BY BORING.
The New System of Cutting Out Stone Which Is Quicker and Cheaper
 Than Old Method.

The centuries-old system of quarry ing stone by wedges and by explosives is giving way to new process of saving the stone in great circular columns by saws which reyolve around them and cut out the rock to depth of 50 feet sometimes. The usual depth is from 25 to 35 feet. This system has been so per fected that drill will cut 13-foot shaft in ten hours. There are various types of cutters employed, one being heli- coidal cable and another on irQn-plate cylinder, 40 inches in height and 36b inches in diameter, on which is mounted cylindrical knife 12 inches in height. On the lower part of the knife the teeth are fared alternately. which makes two rows of teeth, permitting the knife to attack the stone better and to widen the space in which the cylinder re- wolves. This knife reyolyes at the rate of from 50 to 60 revolutions per minute.

SHALLOW WATER BOAT.
Placing of Screw Propeller in Such 2 Way as to Make Its Use
 Possible.

A new method of using screw pro peiler, with all it's advantages. for the propulsion of large boats in extremely shallow water, appears to be an entire success. Boats have been run under tbis method in as shallow water as six inches. The system Is being applied n boats now under construction for Jse in canals, rivers, lakes and the ocean.
 The new idea is extremely simple. It consists of bottomless arched wheel chamber. which may be carried as far aboye the water line as necessary. This wheel chamber Is connected at the top t9 a secondary or vacuum chamber where a partial vacuum is constantly maintained when the boat is running. hy means of a comparatively small vacuum pump. The American Ship builder says: This, is will be seen,

Fine Iron Dust in Tunnel

Tt has been claimed for some time. " says the Railway and Engineering Re- view, that the health of employees en- gagged in the New York subway was being seriously impaired by inhaline fine particles of steel dust. resulting ill consumption. The dust results. prin- cipally, from the action of brake shoes on the wheels; the speed being high and stops frequent The confined na- tnre of the atmosphere in the tunnel of course intensifes the dangerous con dition The lungs of a brakeman re. gently killed while working have been examined by the coroner's physician, who reports that the results substan- tiate in part the theory as above. which was broaehed some time ago by the coroner"

CLEVER DOCTOR.
Cured 20 Years Trouble Without
 Any Medicine.

A wise Indiana physician cured % years stomach disease without any medicine as his patient tells:
 Il had stomach trouble for 20 years, tried alIopathic medicines, patent medicines and all the simple remedies suggested by my friends. but grew yorse all the time.
 Finally a doctor who is the most prominent physician in this part of the state told me medicine would do me no good. only irritating my stom- ach and making it worse that I must look to diet and quit drinking coffee.
 Il cried out in alarm. Quit drink ing eoffee!' why, What will I drink?,
 Try Postum,' said the doctor T drink it and you will like it when it is made according to directions. with cream. for 1t is delicious and has none of the bad effects coffee has,
 Well. that was two years ago, and ] am still drinking Postum My stom- zeh is right again and I know doctor hit the nail on the head when he de- cided coffee was the cause of all my trouble. l only wish I had quit 1t years ago and drank Postum in its place" Name given by Postum Co.

At times great weak ness would come over me and on one oc- casion my limbs gave way under me and I fell to the sidewalk.
 "Of course I was treated by our local physicians and also consulted noted doctor at Albany, but nothing they gave me seemed to benefit me. One day l read in a newspaper about Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and 1 imme- diately gave them trial. l soon felt much better and my color had begun to return.

HINTS TO EoUSEKEFPERS

Instead of cleaning the windows with soap and water try rubbing them with a cloth dipped in a mixture of ammonia and whiting and then pol ish with clean chamois. This makes them much brighter than if soap and water are used.
 An unusually thrifty mother sug- gests that when holes in the heels or toes of the children's stockings are toe big to darn. a good plan is to cut out the worn parts entirely. then with a crochet needle and some SaXony wool or darning cotton to go round and round the hole. gradually diminishing the number of stitches until the hole is completely filled up. This. no doubt. takes less than ii an attempt were made to darn the hole, to say nothing of it's being more lasting
 When using stale bread for buildings always soak il in cold liquid. Bread that has been soaked in cold milk or water is light and crumbly. whereas that soaked in hot liquids is heavy.
 IL always seems a pity to have to string pictures up on wires or cords The question is whether it is not more of pity than to drive small nails into the wall paper The latter procedure defaces the walls, to be sure. but so do tse picture wires defaee the walls Small pictures can be hung on very slender nails, which. when withdrawn leave scarcely visible hole. Ii wires must be used. let them be as fine as possible, and the pictures should be so hung as to rest perfectly flat against the wall. Anything more hideous than picture tilted al an angle Of 45 de- srees is unimaginable.
 Remove the scratches from vanished furniture by going over them carefully with camefs hair brush that has been dipped in shellac varnish until they disappear. Nothing should touch the places until they are quite dry.
 Have your refrigerator sweet and clean and ready for use by burning in it a small disinfeeting sulphur candle. then leave the doors wide open. al lowing it to air thoroughly.
 If mothers, when buying new shoes for the children, would adopt the fol- lowing hint they would find that they would last twice as long and also resist the damp Procure some boiled Hn- seed oil, pour il into a large fiat dish or in and allow the shoes 10 stand in il for about r hours, or until the soles are well soaked. This does not, how ever, apply 10 brown shoes.

OMElET AND CARNlSE. }
Successful omelet Must Be Cooked in Smooth Pan-Smal One Best
 Eggs Not Beaten Too Much.

Omelets ere helpful in solving the problem Of getting a sufficient num- per of dishes for the light breakfast, as there Is almost an unlimited varie- ty. To be successful the pan should be clean and smooth, they must be eaten immediately. the omelet must be small. four eggs being better than six, and the eggs must not be beaten too much.
 Plain 0melet.-Beat the yolks ot four eggs. add four tablespoonfuls or water. first mixing one-half teaspoon ful of four in a tablespoonful of the water; put in one-half teaspoonful or salt and a dash of pepper. then gen. tly fold in the beaten whites. Drop one-half poonful of butter into hot frying pan, tipping the pan so that the sides and bottom will be thoroughly covered. Turn in the ome- let quickly, and when the center looks dry run knife around the edge. then under the half nearest the han dle and fold over. Slide carefully on to a warm platter and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
 Ham Omelet-To the yolRs of four eggs add four tablespoonfuls of water. small teaeupful of finely chopped ham, and a few sprigs of parsley, and beat vigorously. Beat whites stiff and gently stir them into the mixture. Have tablespoonful of butter treat ed in a spider, pour in the omelet, and stir with a fork till it becomes quite thick. Cook five minutes over brisk fire. foid, and serve garnished with parsley.
 The Esthetic Side - Garnishing should never interfere with carving or serving, and should at least have an appearance of being simple if not SO in fact
 Parsley and watercress are the most practical garnishes for they look well with almost any dish. If parsley is not obtainable fine celery tips may be used.
 Fried Parsley-Use fresh. eurled. dry parsley; have dish of fat hot enough to brown a piece of bread in Ut tllt pdASltS IHtO q frying basket. then drop the basket into hot fat; let it remain half a min ute, then lay on coarse brown paper till wanted for garnishing.
 Eggs are used either hard boiled and sliced, CT tie hard boiled yolks may be grated and sprinkied over or around dish; the grated yolks are effective on spinach.
 Lemons are used more for fish than meats, such as fried oysters and lob ster outlets. They are cut in quar- ters and portion served on the plate of each person.
 Paper ffilIs for decorating broiled chops are made by folding and firing ing thin letter paper then wrapping around the end of the chop to keep the grease from coming through.
 Boiled carrots and beets, sliced with vegetable cutters into fancy shapes. are nice for cold meats and have pretty effect around a white entrce. Chicago Tribune.
