tors Who Look Over and
Adjust TimepieCeS

Great Importance is attached to the
inspection of watches of trainmen by
railroads throughout the country at
the present time. Whilo the big sys-
TENS have for years cndeavored TO
have employees keep their timepieces in
good condition. il is only during the
last year or two that standard rules
for the inspection of watches have been
adopted.
The tmeDieces are examined by
agents Of the company at regular in
tervals TO see that they are up to the
standard.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
about a year ago practically reorgan-
lied its watch-insDection service,
adopting rules similar TO those in nse
on many of the big systems and order
ing that the watches Of certain classes
of employees be examined every two
weeks. The company has one general
time inspector, and this official ap-
points inspectors in the various cities
touched by the road.
These local INSPECTORS. Charles NJ.
Banks being the company's official In
spector in Wilmington, are charged
with the examination of the watches
on certain divisions and the employees
are given cards. which are turned IN to
the company every six months. on
these cards the inspector makes entries
showing the condition of the watch.
Railroad men are required to bring
/ their timepieces to him and they are
compared with the standard time as
received from Washington. In all there
are about $50 men employed by the
company in various capacities, and
who are required to keep the correct
time that bring their watches to him
| for comparison.
Regarding this inspection an official
Of the company says:
THE aim of the railroads to-day is
TO have the watches of the men con-
nected with the movement of trans
keep the best time possible. The inn
portance of this can be easily under
stood by anyone who takes the trouble
TO study the matter for a moment. The
engineer relies on his watch for the
starting of his train. Suppose It were
fast by several minutes and the trair
running on a single track road. Ar
accident might result, especially If tn,
operators in the single towers were no.
on the alert. Tho trainmen are sup
posed to get the time from the in
spectors. who receive It daily from the
Government Observatory in Washing
ton. The whole idea Of watch inspec
tion is to secure uniformly good time
pieces among the tranmcn, and the i'm
portance Of this IS becoming greate
and greater every day. especially OF
roads where hundreds Of trains us
the same piece of track daily"
In the matter Of watches there ar
Al grades to select from given in m
circular issued by the company, and
is stated that repairs may be mad
by any matchmaker that the employe
may select. but the work must be u
to the standard.

HINDoo CASTE MARKS.
The Women of India Wear Them on
tho Forehesd.

tho Forehead.
The caste marks worn by women IN
India are confined to the forehead and
are more uniform than those affected
by the men.
The orthodox mark invariably worn
on religious and ceremonial occasions
Is a small saffron spot in the center Of
the forehead. But the more popular
and fashionable mark is a tiny one
made with a gluelike substance, usual
iy let black IN color, which is obtained
by frying sago till It gets charred and
then boiling It in water.
Women who have not reached their
twenties are sometimes partial to the
use Of small tinsel disks, purchasable
in the bazaar at the rate Of about
half a dozen for a pie. To attach
these to the skin the commonest ma
terial used is the gum Of the jack fruit
quantities OF which will be found stick
ing to a wall or pillar in the house
ready for immediate use.
In the more orthodox families It is
considered Objectionable that the fore
head of a woman should remain blank
even for a moment, and accordingly II
is permanently marked with tattooed
vertical line. The blister takes some
times a fortnight to heal, but the Hin
doc woman, who is nothing If not
martyr by temperament and training
suffers the pain uncomplainingly.-

m. Msi.,tv Of Tho PyramIds

AS the wonder Of the sphinx takes
possession Of you gradually, so grad
ually do you learn to feel the majesty
Of the pyramids of Gizeh, unlike the
step pyramid of Sakkara, which even
when one is near It looks like small
mountain, part of the land on which 1t
rests. The pyramids Of Gizeh look
what they are-artificial excrescences,
invented and carried out by man, ex-
pressions Of mans greatness. Exqui-
site as they are as features of the
drowsy golden landscape at the setting
Of the sun, think they look most won
derful at night when they are black
beneath the stars. On many nights
l have sat in the sand at a distance
and looked at them, and always and In
creasingly they have stirred my imag-
nation. Their profound calm, their
classical simplicity, are greatly empha-
sized when no detail can be seen, when
they are but black shapes towering to
the stars They seem to inspire then

said, "God does not need my prayers,

THE GHOST OF THE FUTURE.
Fear Of Coming to Want and the Ter
ror Of Failure.

Fear Of Coming TO Want and the Ter
ror Of Failure.
The terror Of failure and the fear Of
coming to want keep multitudes Of
people from obtaining the very things
they desire by sapplng their vitality,
by incapacitating them through worry,
anxiety and fear from the effective,
creative work necessary to give them
success.
Wherever we go this fear ghost, this
terror specter, stands between men and
their goal. No person is in position to
do good work while haunted by 1t.
There can be no great courage where
there is no confidence or assurance,
and half the battle Is in the conviction
that we can do what we undertake.
The mind. always full Of doubts,
fears. forebodings, is not IN a position
to do effective, creative work, but is
perpetually handicapped by this unfor-
tunate attitude.
Nothing will so completely paralyze
the creative power OF the mind and
body as a dark, gloomy, discouraged
mental attitude. No great creative
work can be done by a man who is moi
an optimist.
The human mind cannot accomplish
great work unless the banner Of hope
goes in advance. A man VIII follow
this banner when money, friends, repu'
tatlon. everything else has gone.-suc

LUDWIG's FINE SHOWING.

Manager w. C. Orem of the Ne
vada Douglass Mining company is in
receipt of communication from the
mine superintendent at Yerington,
which gives a most fattering ac-
count of the development work that
is being done in the Ludwig end of
the group owned by the company.
In the south drift off the $50 level
of the Ludwig there is a full face of
copper ore, which has been xeplor-
ed for distance of twenty-five feet
The average values obtained through
this ore show from 40 to per cent
in the red metal and the manage
ment feels very confident of CON
tinuation of this rich deposit for a
considerable distance in the drec-
tom the drift is now running.
AS yet it is impossible to get any
acurate idea of the dimensions OF
the ore in this particular working,
but as all of the exploratory work
is giving the most satisfactory re-
suits the company is willing to take
the results as they come. Thus far
the management has opened up one
of the largest high-grade deposits
of copper that has ever been shown
in one mine, and those who have
seen the properties of this company
in Yerington claim 1t has no equal
In the country for the tonnage of
high-grade ores blocked out.
No ore is being take out and
shipped except that broken down in
doing development work. but this
tonnage since last July has brought
the company $4,000. The aver
age values OF the copper ores that
have been forwarded during this
period have been from 10 to iG per
cent In the red metal
