Early Railroad EIiera.

When the first passenger railroad
eyer built was opened in England in
1925 the train travelled from one end
Of the line to the other, a distance of
twelve miles, in two hours. And Wood,
one of the best known writers on the
subject of railroads at that day, wrote
as follows:
Nothing can do more harm to the
adoption of railways than the promul-
cation Of such nonsense as that we
shall see locomotives travelling at the
rate of twelve miles an hour"
Today, with locomotives travelling at
the rate of seventy-fye miles an hour,
one can look at Woods warning with
4 feeling of amusement. In 1929 a
locomotive was introduced in this coun-
try, and in the following year Peter
Cooper experimental with a locomotive
OF the B. and O.. railroad. The fues
Of the boiler were made from gun bar
rels. The boiler was about the size of
a -four barrel. Cooper related with
considerable satisfaction how on the
trial trip of this engine he passed a
gray horse attached to a wagon.-New

The Bark Wearers of Borneo.

There are no more singular people
known than the Punan tribe Of Bor'
neo. Most of what has been learned
about them IS from hearsay. Mr.. W
81. Beach says that they are represent
ed as dressing themselves in BARI
clothing, wandering about in the for
ests and sleeping in trees. They have
no houses and no property, except
mere personal possessions, which they
exchange by barter. They have the
habit Of leaping three OF four yards
at a time, and their speed is said to
be marvellous. They kill game with
a weapon resembling a blowpipe, not
by the usual method of blowing out
the arrows with the breath. but by
striking the end which contains the
dart with the palm of the hand.

Bio Dokar Stakes.

Many stories of big poker games
among the western cattlemen In the
early days have been told, but this
story Of the game with probably the
greatest stakes is really true. Two
well known cattlemen Of southwestern
Kansas, one of whom is now a promi-
nent business man in Kansas City,
started to move their herds to the
pastures of Wyoming. Each herd con-
tanned more than q thousand head of
cattle. When they came to the cross
ing of the Arkansas river near Coo
lidge they found a food on They
were unable to cross for two or three
days, To while away the time the
two men engaged In a poker game.

Most of our perfumes come from
flowers or are made IN imitation Of the
scent of flowers, so that altar Of roses,
by common consent, ranks at the head
of the list of perfumes. Other prepa'
rations from roses, too, hold a high
place and have long been esteemed.
Rosewater is historic. When Saladin
entered Jerusalem in the twelfth cen
fury he had the walls of the mosque
Of Omar washed with 1t. But altar

cious and the most priced OF all. An

Moving Troops by Rail.

"Let US suppose 1t became necessary
to send the entire national guard Of
New York out Of the state, how long
would 1t take the railroads to handle
themf" was asked a railroad official
In New York.
"Twenty-four hours, easy" was the
instant reply. This Is under war
conditions, remember, which means
that everything gives way to the
movement of troops and their equip
ment. The railroads of America can
handle men and war material of all
kinds, including everything from
horses and men to cannon and r%ations,
much faster than they can be assem-
bled and delivered to us. In fact, IN
der war conditions the railroads are
prepared to do their part quicker and
better, with more certainty and better
speed, than any other part Of the ma
ch1nery, commercial or military, in

Stsnk FRIDAYS.

In England the term Black Friday
was first applied to Dec. 6, 1745, the
day on which news reached London
that the pretender, Charles Edward,
had reached Derby. Again on May IL,
1866, when the failure of a large Eng
lish discounting institution brought on
q most disastrous panic, the day was
called Black Friday. On the day of
the suspension the Bank Of England
raised the rate of discount 8 per cent.
Wild speculation In gold in New York
and other cities eliminated in a none
tary crash on Sept. 16. 1875, that swept
thousands Of firms and individuals into
financial ruin and caused a commercial
depression that extended into the eight
les of the last century; hence the origin
Of the term Black Friday in the United
States.

The Shirt Waist Question.

Many girls and women make their
own shirt waists, a task comparatively
easy after one has a pattern that is
perfectly adapted to her individual
idf0syncrasies. One young woman
used to have a waist made by the
most famous shirt waist maker in the
city. She took 1t home, ripped it
apart, cut an exact pattern OF 1t ano
made her summer waists by the pat
tern. Her waists always fitted her
we'll, but there were some attendant
trouble and expense.
A contributor in Harper's Bazaar tells
her plan. She bought a plain pattern
and some cheap madras, cut and care
fully fitted a waist, ripped 1t apart
1t was only basted. Of ~course-and re
cut her pattern by 1t. Then she had a
pattern to which she could apply
tucks, embroidery or lace at her pleas
ure, doing this before cutting the
goods.
