LIVES THE SIMPLE LIFE.

It is interesting to know that a wo-
man of such great intellectual achieve
ments as Mrs Leslie Carter is very
simple in her food requirements. Prac-
tically she eats only two meals a
day, as she takes only a cup of coffee
on rising. During her vacations this
is at 80 or 10 O'clock Her next
meal is substantial one at 1880,
while dinner is at 6 or Z. She travels
in her own car, and when she is on
the road all her meals are served
in her private apartments at the hotels
Then she rises at 10, lunches at and
does not dine until 1880, or after the
play is over
She eats meat but sparingly pre-
ferring beef or mutton and eating no
veal or pork. Although a Kentuckian,
her friends say she has never tasted
a mint julep or a cocktail She does
not care for wines, and except for an
occasional glass of champagne is said
never to touch them, The advocate Of
the apple diet would receive little en-
couragement from her, for she literally
cannot bear the scent of the fruit She
will not have a fresh apple in the
house, although she has been known to
partake of apples cooked

gan to develop the old wagon brake
on larger scale, but in time he real
lied that it wouldn't do-that a motor
cylinder under each car would be
necessary. He had heard a good deal
about the use Of compressed air in the
Mont Cents tunnel, and he determined
to make use of it in his model.
1t Is small wonder that railroad men
were skeptiCal when young Westing-
house called their attention to his new
invention and asked them to give 1t a
trial. 1t was so novel, and it's pro-
moter was so young and untred. They
looked askanCe at the enthusiastic
young man and shook their heads
sagely with the confidently expressed
opinion that stopping trains with wind
was not exactly feasible.
His Air Brake Tested.
Westinghouse had very little ready
cash of his own but he was not long
in finding a capitalist who had and
who was willing to put some of it into
the new venture. Finally it was the
Panhandle railroad that was per-
suaded to give the air brake a trial on
it's line. The brakes were fitted to an
engine and four cars running between
Pittsburg and Steubenville, o., and the
first trip was made under this novel
equipment AS 1t happened, the air
brakes We're the means of preventing
collision at this first trial.
At this time Westinghouse had Just
passed his majority. 1t became evil
dent at the first test that the air brake
was all that it professed to be, and
now there were plenty Of capitalists
who were anxious to share in it's ex-
plOitation. 1t was realized that the in
vention had made high speed railroad =
ing possible, and a company was or
ganized at once to manufacture the
brake, and the following year Mr..
Westinghouse went abroad to intro
duce his invention. He also went to
work to improve his appliance, and in
time produced the triple valve, which
permits the brakes to be used stimuli

in his fathers agricultural works at

an early age TO take an active part In
everything that was going on I'm that
establishment. when he was fifteen
he produced a rotary engine after his
own design Not long afterward he
was able to pass an examination for
the position OF assistant engineer In
the navy and he went to Annapolis to
complete his studies in that line.
Before he had finished his course the
civil war broke out. Although a mere
boy, he enlisted in the cavalry service

charge he received an appointment as
third assistant engineer in the navy
and was assigned to the Muscota,

became a student In the classical de-
partmont Of Union college. He made
up his mind long before graduation
that active participation in the me-
chanlcal field was best IN accordance
with his tastes. About That time he per-
fected a railroad frog which proved to
be a success and gave him considerable
reputation Shortly afterward he con-
ceived the idea of what was destined
TO become one of the most useful in
ventions of the age, the air brake.

ROaStS the Teddy Bears. "

Rev. FIR. Esper: Race suicide,
the gravest danger which confronts
this section today, is being fostered
and encouraged by the fad for sup
planting the good old dolls of our
childhood with the horrible mon
strosity known = as the "Teddy
bear.' The very instincts of
motherhood in a growing girl are
blunted and oftentimes destroyed
if the child is allowed to lavish up
on an unnatural toy of this kind
the loving care which is so beauti-
full when bestowed upon doll rep
resenting a helpless infant. No
more disgusting sight has ever come
to my eyes than is presented by this
spectacle of a little girl fondling,
caressing, and even kissing these
seudo-animals. It is shame upon
the American people that it will
suffer the development of the in
stinct of motherhood in its future
women to be arrested for fad fol
these bundles of horridness, the
most harmful and repulsive nature
fakirs ever perpetrated.-Litch'
