UNIVERSAL DEMURRAGE
RULES READY NOV. l6

Commissioner Franklin K. Lane of
the interstate commerce commission
returned to his Washington Office No
Nember ), after an extended tri ip with
the other commissioners through the
West. Commissioner Lane is now pre-
pairing to formulate the report that he
is TO make to the National Associa-
ton of Railway Commissioners on the
10th of this month, when that associa-
tion meets TO finally ratIfy the uni,
versal car demurrage rules that have
been prepared by subcommittee of
which Mr.. Lane is chairman,
In this connection Commissioner
Lane said that he believes all the
shippers will acknowledge, when the
rules arc made public, that they are
as fair as the committee could make
them. On the other hand, Mr.. Lane
dismissed the criticism TO the effect
that the railroad men had too large
d hand in formulating the rules for the
subcommittee and that the shippers
were not permitted TO have a hand III
it also.
1t is admitted that some railroad men
were present at Chicago at the last
session of the subcommittee, but when
that committee went into executive ses-
sion only the committeeman themselves
were present After the rules had
been finally decided upon, copies of
them were sent the various state rail
road commissioners with the request
that nothing concerning them he di-
vulged until the meeting In Washing
ton on The 18th
If any railroad men know the nature
of the rules, it follows that they must
have gained their knowledge from some
Of the state commissioners. Commits
sionor Lane apparently does not be-
heve that the shippers generally have
accepted these rumors. The rules Will
likely bc made public on the 10th of
this month, or upon the day follow
ing.

Your Sewing Machine.

Women who do not thoroughly un- derstand the sewing machine often blame the machine when the fault of stiff running can be traced to not keep ing the machine clean. Most persons think that liberal doses of oil are all that is necessary. Too much oiling is injurious, and oil where there has not been careful dusting is worse thau none at all. It is not enough to give a surface dusting; the cracks and crevices must be kept clean. This can not be done with a cloth. Instead use a coarse silk thread, to draw back and forth through cracks to get out fine dirt that can not otherwise be removed. Care should also be taken that pins and needles do not slip into the shuttle part of the machine, as often they clog it and the cause can not be discovered for some time. It is a mistake to use d cheap oil, as it cakes and makes the parts sticky. Never let the machine stand uncovered when not in use; and guard carefully from dampness. Rub, hing the running strap occasionally with a little vaseline or oil will make the leather wear longer.

The Humnn Heart.

The heart of a man is a book-no. It Is an encyclopedia of everything that has ever come within the range of its personal experience. It preserves an eternal record of all the stories in which 1t has played a part. It Is strange what sad things may be hid den in it's depth without giving any token of their existence. The heart may be gay and may send the smile mantling to the face. but all the while you see only the topmost stratum. If the graves beneath were to give up their dead the smiles would seem strangely out of place, It Is just like this great earth of ours that renews it self year after year and has not ol its surface any token to tell what is the simple truth-t,lat it has given graves to aC0 generations of human beings Farrell

Cracks in Floors.

There are three methods of filling cracks in floors. First, dissolve one pound of glue in two gallons of water. Stir into this enough fine sawdust to make thick paste and fill the cracks with 1t. The paste may be colored to match the wood. Second. fill the cracks with putty. One can make the putty by mixing whiting and linseed oil together and kneeding 1t until the paste is smooth. The putty may also be colored to match the wood Third, soak finely shredded paper in water and boil it until 1t Is soft pulp, and to every two gallons add one pound of glue. The cracks must be filled solid and even with the boards.

Perfuminr the Hair.

There is a difference of opinion as to perfumed hair; some women, nice ones, too. think faint, elusive, in- dividual fragrance to the hair correct. while other women are strong in their condemnation of scented tresses.
 If you are not one of the women who think perfumed hair vulgar. you may like to know how to impart an odor to 1t instead of paying to have 1t done by the hairdresser.
 The best time Is immediately after the hair is shampooed. while 1t Is still slightly damp. Pour five or six drops of oil of lavender, oil of jasmine or oil of violet In the palm of your hand and rub 1t over the bristles of a clean, rather stiff hair brush.
 Brush the hair thoroughly for five or ten minutes, and you will carry around for a week a faint, delicate fragrance

Early Method. of Curing skins.

The original process of curing skins was probably the simple one of clean ing and drying them. Removal of the hair by maceration in water seems to have been common among the very early tribes, and one writer has sug- gested that the idea was obtained from the natural process of depilation. They must certainly have been famil far with it in the case of drowned ami mals, where maceration can be plain ly observed. Following this smoke. sour milk, oil and the brains of the animals themselves were found effica- cious. Many of these primitive meth ods are employed in remote places at the present time.

A paste made of fine starch and a very little water spread on a bruised spot immediately after the blow will often prevent discoloration.
 When the brows are thin and scant they should be rubbed with a drop of warmed almond oil or a very small quantity of poma tum of vaseline. This should be put on before brushing and shaping.
 To keep the hands smooth and white soak them in sweet almond oil every night. Pour the oil in a bowl and i'm merse the hands for several minutes. Wipe gently with soft towel and draw on loose white gloves for sleep ing.
 The habit of biting thread with the teeth, of using the teeth as wise for removing corks, for cracking nuts or 10 supply a deficiency in tools Is most un- wise, and will surely cost the unwlse person dear. It cannot be condemned too strongly.
 A good treatment for white spots on the nails is a nightly application of d paste made of equal quantities of tur- pentine and myrrh. In the morning the nails should be wiped over with olive oil. If you are manicuring your nails yourself. you may be digging them ton hard. thus causing spots.

Waiting for Some Man.

Woman has been handicapped through the ages by being brought up to think that there Is not much worth while in life outside of marriage, writes Orison Swett Warden in Success Maga- zine
 How many precious years and op- portunities for growth, for life en- largement she has missed while wait ing for marriagel
 Even to-day. in this splendid age, we see young women everywhere with splendid possibilities who seem to be just waiting, waiting. waiting for what they have been brought up to believe is the supreme event of their lives. Many of them might broaden their edu- cation and improve themselves wonder fully while they are waiting for the right man to come along. Did they but know it, they are not half as likely to find the right man while waiting hactively as when they are vigorously preparing themselves for a large and useful life.
 It is most unfortunate that any girl should be brought up to-day with the antiquated idea that marriage is every thing. and that other things do not count much.
 The traditions of the past, however. are rapidly falling away from the emancipated woman of the twentieth century. In this new era tens of thous- ands of girls have found glorious open lngs in all departments of life. Vast fields of usefulness are awaiting wom- an on every side. She Is realizing that achievement is sexless; that she can be just as independent as man, and that there are just as many oppor- tunities and fields of usefulness for her
 Who can estimate what this new era means to the plain girl, the girl with splendid mental powers, but who may be physically unattractive, or who may prefer a single life1

A Woman. Question.

 Before trust my fate to thee. Or place my hand in thine; Before you get your overcoat
 Or help me on with mine; Before I peril all for thee,
 Question thy soul tonight for me. Before we stir single step,
 Stand back and let me know; Does my black skirt touch on the sides, And does the white skirt show? Speak now, lest at some future day My whole life wither and decay. Look deeper still within thy soul, And let me learn my fate; Am I all buttoned down the back And is my hat on straight? Let no false pity spare the blow But in true mercy tell me so. Gaze on my face and answer true, Before we start to go. Can'st thou detect the rosaline And does the talcun show? If so at any pain or cost.
 Oh. tell me now ere all is lostl Nay. answer not; thou could'st not tell, The words would come too late; Get on thy hat and hurry up. We haven't time to wait. Whatever in my heart may fall. Remember, must risk it all Puck.

up in the air. Don't shuttle. A little thoughtfulness and practice in high stepping will soon break you of this ugly habit. Don't bend your back at the waist. under the impression tsat you are thereby walking erectly. It throws the stomach forward, and is all most as inimical to grace as round shoulders. Finally. don't allow your self to walk 'pigeon-toed" - that is. with the toes turned in or straight. You can never be graceful in movement while you do.
