TRACK WAS TOO NARROW.
But the New Conductor Was Going
Over 1t Anyway.

"An amusing error was made one
day while / was with the Colorado &
Southern" said G. E. Carson, superin-
tendent of the Missouri Pacific.
business was brisk and we had a
good many extra conductors at work.
Arrangements were made to run an
engine and crew out of Denver one
morning to go to Greeley for a train
Of potatoes. The conductor, a COM
p~aratively new man. misunderstood
his instructions and called for running
orders to Georgetown instead of Gree
ley. The dispatcher, himself unfamil-
lar with the different classes of power,
issued the orders as requested.
The conductor then went to the en-
CINE. The engineer, an old head,
glanced over the documents and said:
"sThat's narrow gauge track up
there, Bill
"sAll right ole man. responded the
conductor cheerily; let's go
asGo? The devil" exclaimed the n
gineer, this is a broad gauge engine

Custom Strict In japan.

Society is very strict in Japan about
the little matters of hairdressing, and
woe betide the woman who would
neglect to abide by the prevailing
custom. Not alone in the better
classes, but among the poorer people
as well, the eligible young woman,
the widow who wishes to MARY
again, and the widow who doesn't,
may always be distinguished by the
way In which they dress their hair

The Present and the Future.

gathered from the actual experience
in the running of elevated, subway
and interurban lines to establish some
thing like a comparison between the
electric motor and the steam locomo-
tive, from which a definite idea may
be gained of what is likely to take
place on the railroads of this country
in the near future.
According to an estimate, if all the
railways of the United States were to-
day run by electricity, using the sys-
tenn adopted for the equipment of the
New Haven railroad, the energy re-
CURED being developed by power
plants such as are now in extensive
use, the aggregate cost of railroad op-
Grafton, which in 1905 amounted, in
round numbers, to $1,400, 900. 900,
would be reduced by about $3.50, 000,-
600. In other words, it appears that
the entire railroad system of the Unit
ed States could be operated at a less
cost by the electric motor than by the
steam locomotive, and this with an
earning power much greater than it
has to-day.
That the change from steam to elec-
tricity will come at once is not re-
garded as either possible or advisa-
BILE. The art of electric traction as
applied upon a large scale to heavy
trains is still young, and the wisdom
of making haste with elaboration in a
matter involving interests of such
magnitude as those which are tied up
with the transportation systems of the
United States is obvious. But in view
of the present-day experience of the
railroad companies the era of the
steam locomotive appears to be rap
idly nearing it's close.

New Explosive of Great Value.

Potasimite is a new explosive, per
fected in Monterey, Mexico. and first
used with success upon the construc'
ton of a Mexican Central railroad
branch with wonderful results, for II
is pronounced safer, cheaper and more
powerful than dynamite. Those explo'
sives based upon nitrogen produce a
gas that necessitates abandoning
closed works, such as a mine or tun'
mel, during the explosion, and the la
borers can not return to work for a
long time thereafter. depending upon
the facility for carrying off the gas
Potasimite is said to produce no nox'
iops gas, the only precaution neces
cary in its use being that the work.

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand az
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this period
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation Of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this great
change may be expected.
