GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT.

Building a Railroad Over the Great
Stretch of Florida Keys.
One Of the most interesting pieces
Of railway construction now under way
in the South is the Key West extension
of the Florida East Coast Railway.
This new line will follow the outlying
Florida Keys for nearly their whole
length, and about 30 miles Of it will
be over what is now open water. Two
types of construction are required; one
is embanl1ment construction on land
and in shallow water and the other
is REINFORCED concrete arch viaduct
construction over deeper water. Alto
gether there will be over six miles Of
the viaduct work In four stretches
varying from one mile to two miles in
length.
The new line starts from the old
road at Homestead Station, Is miles
south Of Miami, and for q miles fur
Their continues on the main land It
then crosses to Key Largo, where 1t
turns sharply and follows the line Of
outlying Keys southwesterly to Key
West The Florida Keys are separated
by openings or channels varying in
width from a few rods to several
miles, and in depth Of water from a
bare wash to a score or more feet. It
is the extent of these water crossings,
some 30 miles, that is the distinctive
feature Of the construction work.
The deep-water crossings requiring
viaducts are four in number, and the
viaduct structures will be, respectively,
10000 feet, $500 feet 1900 feet and
| $500 feet long. A standard arch con-
struction in REINFORCED concrete will be
employed.

Wisconsin Farmer Charged with
Using Offspring as Horses.
Complaint has been made against a
farmer living about five miles southwest
OF Neenah on the line of the Oshkosh and
Neenah Interurban that he has been
hitching four of his seven children to a
corn pillow or cultivator and compelling
them to drag the implement through a
ten-acre truck garden, while he guided it
and drove as he would drive horses. The
attention of the authorities has been call
ed to the matter and after securing sub
sanitation of the facts of the case Dr.
Wilkie of Oshkosh, agent of the Fox River
Valley Humane Society, went to the farm
er and compelled him to send five of the
children to school. OF the seven children
five are of school age. None of them, it
is reported, is able to read or write The
majority are girls. The oldest one who
was hitched to the pillow is not over Il
years Of age. DR.. Wilkie states that the
pillow has harnesses attached to it which
were put about the shoulders of the chill
dren. The farmer says the corn pillow or
Cultivator is very light and was used
merely to stir up the top soil.

Health and Beauty Hints.

Melted CASTLE soap and common oat-
meal mixed together with a little water
and slightly perfumed is an excellent
remedy for removing dirt from the
hands and bleaching the skin.
4 soap manufacturer says that fine
toilet soaps need drying and ripening
just as much as cOarser soaps, there
fore it will be found advantageous by
some to purchase toilet soaps in large
quantities.
Colds and serious diseases resulting
from them can be prevented by care
fulness. Keep a wooden robe and wool
lined slippers near the bedside to be
slipped on when called up suddenly
during the night.
A complete relaxation of the body
for ten minutes just before meals
should be INDUCED in. The physical
organs used in the process of digestion
need to be rested and refreshed before
beginning thir work.

Women End Worrv.

How bright and charming she is"
visitor remarked of neighbor who
had run I'M for a chat with her hos
tess. "She is as refreshing as 4 west
wind"
She's always that way" the hostess
returned. You wouldn't imagine,
would you, that she had a sister who
is a hopeless invalid, and that now her
father has gone to the hospital for a
very serious operation? 1 don't know
how they'll get along if anything
should happen to him. l should be
wild with anxiety but you saw how
she took it. Ellen never was a wor-
rier."
Il should think she'd be a joy in a
sick-room," he friend said.
II suppose she isl know she does
everything for poor Susie-only-
Of course it does no good to worry, but
you feel as if one who doesn't must be
lacking in sympathy. I suppose it's a
FOOLISH idea, but you can't help feel
ing so.''
The attitude is a common one; every
woman will recognize it. We all agree
without hesitation to those perennial
and most excellent treatises which de
clare that worry is a stealthy foe Of
all health, mental, moral and physical,
barrier to all success, whether mate
rial or spiritual, chain, a clog, a poi
son.
WoI9y, we know, is all this and
more. Nobody has ever discovered any
good IN it, yet few of us are brave
enough to resist it, because-it seems
heartIess not to worry! In some curl
Gus fashion worry and love are SO mex
tricably entwined in the feminine CON
sciousness that the average woman
feels it impossible to uproot the one
without injuring the other.-Youth's

Simple Ailments of Children.


The value Of warm baths and their
effect upon nervous OF fretful children,
whether in sickness or health. cannot
be overesimated. Every infant, unless
there is some good reason to the con
trary, such as a skin affection or i'll:
ness, should have two baths a day-0ne
a tub bath in the morning, the other
warm sponge bath when put to bed
The morning bath is conducive to
healthfulness and cleanliness, the
sponge bath at night is most useful on
account Of its Quieting and soothing
effect. Neither bath should be above
or below 50 degrees temperature; at
this temperature there can be no dan
ger from cold. The morning bath re
moves such deposits as have been ex-
GREETED by the skin during the night,
leaving the pores open and not, as
many people suppose, making the child
more sensitive to cold. 1t cleanses the
millions Of little pores, allowing them
to eXude certain oils, which lubricate
the snln and keep it soft and fine at
the same time throwing off refuse
which accumulates in the circulation.

When Miss Bangs visited the neigh
boring city and brought back an at
tractlVe young woman teacher who
was, TO say the least, very hard of
nearing, there was much wonder In
Miss Bangs select school for girls.
But as there was no denying that Miss
Newcomb was delightful in spite Of
ner deafness, and as her door was al
ways open, her study fireplace always
pungent with birch logs, and her time
at the disposal Of whatever girls would
come In, they soon voted her "a treas
ure."
A knot Of them gathered about her
one afternoon to shout into her ear
trumpet.
L hope you've had happy after
noon, girls" she said.
I sh'd say" affirmed one Of her Wis
itors.
What my dear?" inquired Miss
NeWcomb, smiling sweetly and fitting
the ear-trumpet toward her.

Yes, dear2 What were you going to

"Oh, yes. Well, now, let's make some

"Elegantw agreed another girl.
Instantly the ear-trumpet came her

Miss NeWcOmb laughed heartily

claimed II am afraid we shall appear
anything but elegant when we get our
hands and dresses smeared with choc-
olate."
"Ain't birch just CREATE" sighed an
envious girl from across the hall,
shifting the odor from the fireplace.
'What?" inquired Miss Newcomb.
Il said birch is great"
"Oh, do you think so? A CRATE? Why,
I like a fireplace ever so much better.
And with birch logs in it it is so COM
Portable, and suggestive Of home!"
II said it was great!" shouted the
girl.
"Oh, well, have it your own way"

If it had been for any one but Miss
Newcomb the girls would have given
up, but she was so pleasant, so ready
with sympathy and so free with her
entertainment that they could not
keep away. But when the young
women went home for the holidays
numbers Of parents commented on their
improved vocabularies.
How did you learn to talk so well?"

realized how few things 1 said that

them out four or five times to make

After the holidays Miss Bangs sat In

lay upon her desk, and smiling a very
satisfied smile. Having read them all
through, she fled them in q box

In concluding his comment ON the

third of the twelfth biennial report Of the

dent that the liquor traffic is about as
deeply rooted and important a business
in Wisconsin as it is elsewhere in the
United States. Out of 11S cities in Wis
consin 113 have licenses, of 204 villages
1873 have licenses, and of the 1,099 towns
800 have licenses. Five cities, 16 villages
and 376 towns voted no license The
remaining towns and villages have no IL
sense because no application for license
was made. 1t would appear from the re-
port that a majority of about IL per cent
Of the population of the State are against
