Startling figures appear in the bulle-

Der of casualties on railroads during
that quarterly period were 23,063, in
GLIDING 1889 killed and 21,724 injured.
This is an increase of 157 in the

More Collisions Also.
Collisions and derailments in the
quarter numbered 4,759, including 2,245
collisions and 2,034 derailments, of
which 800 collisions and 222 derail,
ments affected passenger trains. The

There are women who have a positive

Of their needs and who know just how

A woman Of this class keeps on eye upon

DYEING THE HAIR.

Not all Of us know that the practice
of dyeing the hair comes to US from the
harems Of the East, where they even
try experiments in hair coloring on babies
two or three years old.
II seems though, as If the more en-
ightened women Of the West should
know better than 10 tamper with the
hair, as ii not only can always be de-
tected. but is often positively injurious
TO the health.
Especially is the practice foolish when
the hair is beginning to turn gray, as it
accentuates the lines of the face and
frequently Injuries the hair folIicles that
decrease in strength with advancing
years, at any rate.

Banana pie is the latest for the pie
weary. This does not mean that the
fresh fruit is sliced up-it is a much
richer fruit than this and is made of
evaporated bananas. They are treated
like dried apples Of old before being
made up into pastry.
The evaporated bananas hold a dozen

A noted Boston cook has a trick of

milk in cus.ard pudding.
The recipe calls for a quart Of milk,
four tabiespoOnsfuls Of flour, three eggs
half teaspoonful of salt, a tablespoonful
of butter, a teaspoonful of vanilla, and
half a cup of granulated sugar. Reserve
half cup of the milk and put the rest
on the stove to boil. Mix the -four, after
sitting, with the cold milk and gradually
stir them into the boiling milk, taking
care that Jumps do not form. When

PREVALENCE OF COLORs.

Double-faced woolens are shown, one
side Of one color, the other OF a contrast

The prune shade is also much in evil
dence and seems unusually popular with
children's tailOTs.
A red faced with dark green, a blue
faced with golden brown, are among the
many combinations shown.
This dOuble-faced cloth is extremely
economical. as it supplies at once both
the dress and trimmings.
This IS essentially a color season. The
only adjective that can properly be ap-
piled to the assortment of new materials
is brilliant.
If it is thick a coat can be made of 1t

miringly. The greatest actresses never
sputter and rant. They reserve their emo
tons for important moments. I once
knew woman who said she never had
cried before her husband in her life; she
was saving her first tears for something
that she couldn't get by a smile"
"Well?' inquired the Bachelor Girl. as
the Mere Man paused.
"she never found it," he returned tri-

"What?" The tobacco with which he

stupid and tame life must be for him

are as simple as A B c, and no one de-
nies them. And yet. for some reason,
many persons, including some lawmak-
ers, seem to believe that while it Is highly
proper for the inventor of mechanical
device to make a million dollars, an
author or composer is being overpaid the
moment he can show a bank account.
Ask Congress- Protection.
The men who write books and plays
simply ask Congress the same protection
that Is afforded any other citizen who
invents something that uan be sold to
the public. II the authors and composers
get the protection they ask, If they are
guaranteed the right to collect royalties
on dramatic productions, on perforated
music rolls, on sheet music. and on discs
used In talking machines; If they get all
they ask for and all that they dare hope
for-not one in the whole lot will make
as much money during his natural life
time as an ordinary prosperous manufac-
turer will make out Of a patented car
stake or a catchy name for a family
soap. I never heard OF a millionaire
author in this country. Even the most
successful writer or composer has a
large percentage of failures. When ne
does score hit. he is entitled to his
reward. II the public is ready to buy
reproductions of his play or book, or
song, why should he not receive some
part Of the profits aecruing from the
sales, since he provides the essential in
gradients? 1t seems almost a waste of
time to argue such a self-evident propo-
5ltion. The trouble is that the com
posers and authors are not punched into
unions and cannot bring pressure to bear
on their representatives. But they are
all in favor Of the Kittredge and Barch-
field bills which seek 10 protect them"
