Cruelty to Women.

We wonder what death the man will
die or what tortured life he will be
caused to lead who discovered the lit
tie trick" by which a woman's age
can be ascertained beyond doubt
that Is to say, while her health Is
normal. The only instrument required
Is an ordinary watch. The wrist of
the lady whose age Is in question is
the telltale. for when you count her
pulse and it registers sixty-nine beats
per minute you know that she is be-
tween twenty and twenty-five years
old. During the next five years seven
ty-one beats go to the minute, and the
femme de trente ans" and over is en-
titled to seventy throbs. 1t is a pity
the man of science who established
these facts is not more exact when
dealing with the women Of ripper age.

A Train
Of Sugar
How One Railroad Shows
Quality Of It's Service
Maudie Says "It's just Too
Sweet for Anything"

Chicago Dec. 10, 19l0.-A striking and
novel exhibit was made by the Northern
Pacific Railway at the National Apple
Show in this city this week. Mounted
upon platform, as life-like as you
please, was miniature North Coast
Limited" train ten feet long and eight
inches high--the tower on the station is
thirty inches tall This model was made
entirely of confectioner's sugar, down to
the diminutivo engineer who peered from
the cab window as true to reality as
could be. A bevy of young ladies found
much to admire in the ''toothsome train"
and one of them voiced the sentiments
of all when she exclaimed MY, it's just
too sweet for anything" The Northern
Pacific Commissary Department took
great pride in turning out this exhibit
of its handiwork and as an earnest of
the good things in store for the patrons
of Northern Pacific dining cars it GER
tainly is convincing. The road main
tains its own bake-shops in st. Paul and
Seattle and the chef at the latter place
was the master-craftsman who built"
the train.

RAILROAD SHOW CAR
Travelling Exhibit of
Northwest Products

ST. Paul, Dee. 10, l9l0.-Starting out
on tour of every state in the Middle
West and East is carload of products of
the soil collected by the Northern Pacific
Railway to bring the Northwest to the
doors of those who cannot 90 out and
see it. This ia literally bringing home
the evidences of the fertility of that vast
territory in a way that will leave
lasting impression. This exhibit car is
making one and two day stops at points
along route which has been mapped
out to cover as wide sweep of country
as possible during the winter months
Grains, grasses, fruits, vegetables and
pictures vie with each other in com
handing the attention and admiration of
beholders. The car is the very latest
style of passenger coach remodelled to
adapt the space to the exhibits. Every
inch is utilized and the variety of mate
rial shown is a source of wonder. No
room for doubt is left as to the produc-
tivity of the states represented in the
car, which include all through or into
which the Northern Pacific runs, namely:
Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota,
Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon.

TRYING TO Save
THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN
Movement on Foot by the League
of American Sportsmen

New York, Dec. 10, l9l0-The prairie
chicken, one of the most interesting.
beautiful and valuable of all our Ameri-
can game birds. is on the verge of exter-
mination. 1t is following the wild pigeon
into oblivion as rapidly as that bird
went in the 70's. The prairie chicken
is now practically extinct in several
western states where formerly it was
abundant, as for instance. in Illinois
Iowa and Wisconsin. There are not more
than ten per cent of the number of these
birds in any western state that existed
there twenty years ago.
The League of American Sportsmen.
with headquarters in New York, has
started movement to save the prairie
chicken, or grouse, as it is sometimes
called. A bill has been drafted which
the League hopes to induce the egisla-
lures of the prairie states to pass in
the near future. This contemplates set
ting aside a strip of territory six miles
wide across the north side of each county
in each state, to be designated and set
apart as Bird Refugees" The bill fur
Their provides that it shall be unlawful
to kill, trap. snare, or in any manner
iniure such prairie chickens or other use
full wild birds as may take refuge in
the territory SO designated. A fine not
to exceed $50 for each offense is named
for any person who shall violate the
provisions of the act.
The Importance of this is brought home
to the countryman when it is stated that
the prairie chicken has been proven to
be natural enemy of the potato bug,
and it is said that if the birds were
carefully preserved and were allowed to
e. list in the great numbers of some years
ago, there would be no potato bugs, grass
hoppers or other pests in any state in
which the birds live.

Dropping Coaches on the Run.

The ingenious means by which one
OF the great railroad systems of Eng
land drops passenger coaches off at
intermediate stations without slowing
up the locomotive. even for fraction
OF second. in its speed Of sixty or
more miles an hour is called the slip
COACH system and is described in
Popular Mechanics. 1t is a system
never tried in America and consists in
cropping, or slipping" one or more
OF the rear coaches just before the
station is reached. Undoubtedly many
american tourists in England after
a1ghting at their destination have
peen amazed to discover that the
coach which they occupied was still
beside them, while the locomotive and
the remainder of the train were no
where to be seen.
