FOUND OUT JUST IN TIME.
Or Finger Bowl Would Have Been Pus
to Novel Use.

The late William Cassidy, one-t1me
editor of the Albany Argus, possessed
the traditional Irish wit. On one oc-
casion, a number of years ago, he was
a guest at a political banquet in Al
bany. At that time finger bowls were
seldom used, and their correct usage
"a passing fad) meant to dip a corner
of the napkin in the water and there
with daintily cleanse the finger tips
Most of the men present eyed the In
novation, when introduced at dessert,
narrowly and uncertainty. One after
another ended by plunging the hand
into the crystal dish. But Mr.. Robert
Pruyn, a well-known Albany gentle
man, correctly moistened a bit OF his
napkin and laved his fingers. Mr.
Cassidy watched him admiringly, not
having as yet touched his W glass
"That's good" he whispered to a neigh
Dor. That's good. II Pruyn hadn'
done that | should have put my foo1
in it."-Harper's Weekly.

ARE USING HEAVIER RAILS.
Changes Being Made on All Belgian
State Railroads.

Consul H. A. Johnson u Liege
writes that experiments arU being a r
ried on with a view to replacing the
rails now in use on the railway lines
owned and operated by the Belgian
government by rails of heavier weight
"a change made necessary by the in
creased weight of the rolling stock.
He writes:
while formerly the maximum
weight of locomotives used on the Bel
gian lines was from 40 to As tons, the
weight of locomotives now IN use
has doubled, being from so to 80
tons, with cars of from 20 to % tons
in weight. So far the heaviest used
are what are known as the Vignole
rails, having a maximum weight OF
40.65 kilos, or about 125 pounds a
meter 1897 inches). A limited num-
Der of the heavyweight rails, it Is true,
have already been placed on these
lines, but their use. is confined to
crossings, branchings and switchings
only, their weight being So kilos, OF
ia pounds a meter.
"The weight of the new rail with
which experiments are being made is
81 kilos, about 125 pounds a meter.
The line selected for experimental
purposes is that from Liege to Ger
many, the immediate locality Of the
experiment being on that part of the
line between Liege and Welkenraedt
a distance of some 80 kilometers
(kilometer 0.62 of a mile), bringing
the total length of double track to
about 60 kilometers, making neces
sary the use of something like 5000
tons of rails. 1t is obvious that the
use of these heavier rails will com
pei corresponding notifications in
other appliances on the lines affected
by the change"

Side Doors on Railway Cars.

Coaches with doors at the side In
stead of on the end are to be introduced
on the Southern Pacific railroad, &C.
cording to the Scientific American. This
paper states that President Hartman
a short time ago gave orders to have
a number of new fine passenger
coaches built on this plan at the com
pany's car shops at Sacramento. Says
the paper just named:
Hartman believes that cars thnu
constructed will be much stronger and
more durable than the style 10Y used;
and also that in case of wreck, there
will be little danger of the coaches
t~elescoping each other. These new
cars will have a small ~passageway by
which passengers may go from one
coach to another, but this will be sc
arranged that it will not weaken the
end walls of the cars. Another fea'
ture of these coaches is the use OF
round instead of square windows. New
patent ventilators, now being used by
the Union Pacific on it's motor cars
will be placed on the new coaches, and
the cars will present an appearance
so little in common with the ordinary
coach that they will at first hardly be
recognized as a passenger vehicle
Some of these cars will Don be com
pleted and placed in commission or
the Southern Pacific western roads"

ton Is retained by the department "fo1
keeps" and it Is a copy that is sent
by special messenger to the govern
ment printing office, to be put n tt
type. Printed copies are given to the
newspapers, or to anybody who want
them; but there must be typewriter
copies for the governor of each state
and territory Of the union, and these
are made at the White House and
mailed from there.
1t will thus be seen that the issuing
of the annual Thanksgiving proclama-
ton is, from beginning to end. quite
an elaborate piece of business. There
is no law to compel the president to
make it, and Mr.. Roosevelt, If he had
so chosen, might have omitted it this
year or during his administration. Or,
if it should eem proper to him next
year, he might choose another day
say, the 1st of January-instead of the
last Thursday in November. But it is
reasonably certain that he will do
neither Of these things, for custom
holds fast in the bonds of usage the
chief magistrate of the nation equally
with the plainest citizen.
AS everybody knows, the celebration
of Thanksgiving day dates back to the
Puritans. At irregular intervals, after
their arrival in this country, they set
dates by public announcement fol
prayer and feasting, in recognition Of
blessings vouchsafed from on high
Following this example, in the early
history of the republic, days of thanks
giving were appointed by the president
for special reasons.
But somehow the pious custom fell
into allegiance, and for many years
there was no national Thanksgiving
until, during the civil war. a woman
Sarah Josepha Hale, who edited
woman's paper, and who had beer
chiefly instrumental In raising $5O,OOt
to complete the Bunker Hill monument
took up the matter, and persuaded
Abraham Lincoln to take an Interest
in it. Thus it came about that Mr.
Lincoln issued a proclamation in 1864
appointing the last day of November
of that year as a day of prayer and re
joicing. Since then the custom ha:
held, and there has been an annua
Thanksgiving celebration for the en-
tire nation, at the instance of the pres
ident.
At the White House, Thanksgiving
day is always very quietly spent. with
out any special celebration-barrin

COULD USE THE ROAD.
lrIch Soldiers Great Idea When Cover
Was Badly Needed.

The following colloquy is said to
have actually occurred during one OF
the earlier battles in the Philippines:
A detachment Of American infantry,
under orders to support g section Oh
Capt. Reilly's battery, were halted for
quite a while on a perfectly fiat mill
tary road in full view and fine range
of the Filipino trenches. OF course, to
lie fiat on the road was the only avail
able "use Of cover"
In this detachment was an Irishman
who had served his time with the col
ors in the British army before he en-
listed with Uncle Sam. AS a recruit
he had been very prone to tell how the
British soldiers did everything. AS a
result he was necessarily piled with
questions as to his experiences. While
the bullets were "plopping" down the
road and kicking up the gravel, q
young Yankee suddenly asked:
"Say, Mike, what do the British sol
diers do with their heads in a place
like this?"
Quick as a fash came the retort:
"a British soldier has no head,
SORT"
After a full two-minute pause, Mike
continued:
However, be that as it may, l wish
I could pick up this d road and
stan it on edge feminist me-"

But GOODNESS had come between

back east where girls were plenty"
Since then she had been learning to
live without him and it was bitter
lesson. True she did not speak of
it, not even to her best friends, but
the ache was always there.
Her work was done at last. She
had time to look at little Lille slum-
bering in her low trundle-bed with
her stocking spread out trustingly on
the pillow beside her. Now was the
time for Santa Claus to come. But
the sick mother was too i'll and broken
with anxiety to be bothered. There
was nobody to fill that stocking but
Hattie, and nothing to fill it with ex-
cept what her girls wit might devise.
She was very tired. All day she
had been battling against storm and
sickness, doing a woman's work and
a mans too. Now she must do Santa
Claus work. Was ever Santa
Claus so sleepy? Oh, what would she
not give to throw herself on the bed,
dressed as she was, and sleep? But
there was. no time for that. Santa
Claus must come to the waiting child.
She knew that in a little while the
sick woman would rouse again and
need her. Softly and YEARLY she lift
