A New Weed Burner.

A new invention for burning weeds
along railroad tracks is described as
being in operation on the Northern
Pacific lines. 1t will do the work of
300 men a day, it is claimed, and will
cover % miles of road in II hours,
while heretofore it required a gang of
l6 men working a full day to cut the
weeds on a single mile of track.
The weed burner is built entirely of
steel, with regulation trucks. AT one
end is a gasoline engine, Used for
propelling the car and pumping the
air which forces gasoline to the burn.
ers, spreading out GEAR the ground.
When at work the weed burner runs
three or four miles an hour, but can
make a speed of from IL to Is miles,
and is handled on the road under reg.
ular train orders.
Tanks carried on the car platform
contain enough gasoline for a days
run Through rows of burners spread
ing we'll beyond the rails the flaming
gasoline is forced downward into the
weeds, killing root and branch, while
the old process did n o stop future
growth.

Waterways Boomers Meet.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA Thousand
delegates are attending the National
Rivers and Harbors congress, which
opened here today. Among the dis
tinguished guests are a number of
railroad presidents, several governors
and two foreign diplomats. Over
halt the state, are represented.
The congress will not consider any
specia! project, bat will devote its en-.
tire attention to the Importance of
securing increased appropri atoms for
river and harbor improvements. 1t
demands that a more liberal proper
ton of the revenue of the government
derived from commerce be expanded
in its interest ia improving the
channels of trade and transportation.
The percentage of .such revenue here
tofore used for waterway improvements
has been only about 3 per cent, and
the rivers and harbors boomers de-
clare that This is totally Inadequate,
in view OF the vast amount of work
yet TO be accomplished.

Sales to Mail Order Houses.

Proprietors who sell mail order
houses directly should, by every law
full means, be induced to discontinue
marketing their goods through these
avenues. If desired results can be &C.
complished in no other way. the pro-
prietors should be given the alterna-
tive of choosing between the retail
druggists, the logical distributors of
their goods, and the demoralizers
named. It is the opinion of your COM
mittee that druggists would receive
far better treatment from all the pro-
prietors if aggressive efforts were
made by each druggist individually
to discourage the sale of products that
are overpriced, those that are not
protected in any way against price de-
moralization, and those that are sup
piled by proprietors to mail order
houses with full knowledge that they
are to be sold to the consumer at
wholesale prices.
AS for the denials that are promptly
forthcoming whenever this subject is
broached to the proprietors that they
are supplying mail order houses, the
free use of electrotypes illustrating
certain lines of goods) as are con-
stantly appearing in the catalogues of
these houses, electrotypes that are
identical with those the proprietors
themselves are constantly using, GER
tainly demands explanation.-Det

Deal in Shoddy Clothing.

Many Of the old-timers these days
wonder why the clothing they used
to wear years ago was so much better
than is :-ow securable unless extreme
ly high prices be paid. A little thought
makes an explanation easy. This is
an age of advancement in every way,
and frauds increase along with i'm
proved machinery, scientific methods,
etc. In fact the whole system of i'm
provelnent seems to involve means Of
lessening cost Of production
Thirty years ago such a thing as
shoddy was not known. When one
purchased a suit of clothes, it was
"all WOOL" but at present it s-an ex-
ceptional thing in cheaper garments
to find this the case. The reports Of
the government show that each year
hundreds Of tons of shoddy, or wooden
goods ground up, are imported into
the United States, and heavy duty
paid on the same. This shoddy is
manufactured into cloth by various
processes. It is most often woven
around a cotton thread, and some
times is forced into the texture after
the cloth is woven. In samples sent
out by the cheap clothing concerns,
this shoddy can be picked out. Often
1t is so loosely woven that if bit of
the cloth be crumbled between the
fingers, it will fall out in the form of
dust. Great quantities of this
cloth are utilized by the makers of
cheap clothing who do business
through the mails direct with the
wearers. A suit of this kind can be
purchased from eight to $2O-and
dear at that. The goods generally
look we'll, but lose shape, and in a. few
weeks show all their defects. Seldom
are such goods sold by regular cloth
ing merchants, who lave a reputation
to maintain, and if they are, they are
sold without Misrepresentation.

Mexico's Indian Women.

The beauty of Indian women is one
of the charms of Mexico. In the cap
ital, where the Indian has degen-
Grated through poverty and menial
service it is less to be remarked than
in the smaller towns and in the coun-
try. But the beautiful faces one takes
in memory away from Mexico are
those of Indian women. Fine eyes
are universal, and, what one hardly ex-
poets, the features, according to Cau-
casfan standards - broad brows,
straight noses, well-formed mouths
and chins full but not gross or heavy.
The expression is very generally intel.
ligent, and often one is struck, both in
Indian men and women, with the no.
bility and refinement of the coun-
tenance. One frequently sees types
among the poems that seem to belong
to some highly civilized ancient caste
an Egyptian priest Of royal blood,
Roman centurian, an Aztec emperor.
The women are gently lovely where
they are beautiful, and the men at
their best in carriage, in manners and
IN countenance are strikingly like the
very advanced product Of civilization.

in use it is firm enough to stand up
right upon table. This adds greatly
to it's general convenience.
To make the bag, fold nine inches
of the ribbon over at each end towards

with silk to match the edge color and
sew the sides of the ribbons together

way, the heading of the bag being
considered as if there were nothing
at all uncommon about it. The rib

ends into crisp bow, which can be

THAT was enough to set in motion
the friendly entertaining spirit of
Heart Throbs, and the music was for
gotten as we took turns reading the
humorous and pathetic bits of prose

in this wonderful volume. Some books
have great literary value, some have
