Railway journal in the second week
of July, 1907, made the claim that the
highest speed ever attained had just
been made on several trips during
that week between Munich and Augs-

The train weight was $50 tons and .
speed of S6h miles an hour was re-

MAKE MONEY ron STATE.
Saxon Railroads Well Run and Fay
Good Dividends.

The report for 1906 Of the admins.
tration Of the Saxon state railroads
shows them to be as financially sue.
cessful as the Prussian and Bavarian
lines.
saxony has about a5o,000.000 in.
vested in her railways. In. 1906 the
gross revenue was s7.600,000, an in.
crease Of nearly 100000 for the
year. The total, outgoings were
e5.000,000. an increase of s240.000
over 1905. Thus the net profits to
the Saxon government on the working
of its railways for 1906 amounted to
the substantial sum of s2,600, 900, or
over five per cent. ON the capital. So
that all interest and sinking fund
charges are easily met and a balance
left over in relief of taxation. The
Saxon chancellor of the exchequer
counts the Saxon state railways, and,
1t may be added, the Saxon state for.
ests, most valuable assets.
Az in Prussia, four classes of trains
are run, and the workmen's fares are
as low as six miles a penny. Railway
rates are moderate. and equipment
generally good and improving. In
particular the station restaurants are
feature. The waiting rooms are
restaurants where the ubiquitous Ger
man glass Of light beer is nearly al
ways INDUCED in by the waiting pas
senser. German trains keep good
time here as in other parts of the
empire, but travel is not SO fast as in
either England or America. That, of
course, is characteristic. The Ger.
man rarely hurries, but he agets
there" without fail, whether in science
Or in business.
Saxony has almost precisely the
same proportion Of train mileage in
proportion to population as we have.
But while 1000 miles of Saxon rail-
ways are capitalized at $50,000,000,
10000 miles Of British railways are
capitalized at s1,300,O00,OOO. That
point, as in the case Of Prussia, is the
most important which emerges from a
study of the Saxon railway figures

APRONS FOR LITTLE GIRLS.
Many Ways In Which Useful Garment
May BE Made.

Aprons are great economy for
three reasons: First, because they
require SO little material to make; Sec
ond. because they save the dress from
spots and dirt that the most careful
child will get on her clothes, and third,
because they brighten dress which is
already soiled.
There is no end to the different
ways that aprons can be made, for
half-worn summer dresses, as there
are few dresses made in, such man.
ner that they cannot be made over.
One exceedingly smart little apron is
made on the princess lines, a style
which Is becoming to some children.
On each side of the back and front
there are five tucks about quarter of
an inch wide, which extend to the
waist line. There is hem two inches
deep and the neck: is cut round and
finished with band of narrow en-
broidery. The tie ends are attached
to the apron under the last tuck in
front and tie in chick little bow in
back.
The only trimming there is on the
apron is little bretelles made of en-
brofdery. Nearly every one of us has
piece of embroidery left over from
worn petticoats or dresses and this
may be used. The bretelles may also
be made Of the same material as the
apron.
One end is Joined to the apron under
the last tuck at each side of the front
and back and made to fall in a little
cap over the arm.

found practically impossible to make
