CONVENTIONS TO MEET HERE.

When the Executive Board of the
B. Y. P. U. and Sunday-School Con-
vention adjourned at Jackson. Tenn.
recently, it was the close of cne Of
the most harmonious and prosperous
sessions ever held by the bodies. The
meetings were presided over by Mr..
:. G. Moore and Rev. E. NJ. Seymour,
Jointly, President of the B. Y. P. u.
md Sunday-School Conventions re-
spectively.
Many Important things were de-
cided upon at this gathering one of
which was a plan to raise $1,000 to be
divided equally with the rel gious
mission and educational work of the
state. The particular institutions
that will receive help from this effort
will be Roger WiESPms University,
Ncshv.l lie; Howe Institute, Memphis,
Tenn; Nelson Merry College, Jeffer-
son City, and the Mission work of the
State.
The plan to raise this money, as
suggested by President Moore, is to
appeal to every Sunday-School and B.
Y. P. U organization in the state of
Tennessee to send at least $500
to aid the work. Mr.. Moore, who is
IN ultiring worker, declares that
there r owe EIGHT hundred organized
Baptis55 Sunday schools in Tennessee,
md that III fifty per cent of this num-
her, with the B. Y. P. u. Society or
ganized and at work, will respond to
this appeal, more than $4,000 will be
realized.
Every, possible arrangement was
perfected by the Board to make the
meeting this year at Nashville a sue
cesS. The fact that the meeting
comes to the capital of Tennessee
! from June % 70 July 2, is an encour.

caboose With q Record.

The caboose with the farthest north record" said H. H. Spaulding of Pittsburg, lis now resting in digni- fled retirement at Shohola, Pa. It Is one of the show places of that com. munity.
 When Peary was preparing his ex- petition of about twelve years ago he obtained from the Erie railroad one of those dumpy little cabooses that manage to shelter in some marvellous manner a crew of five or six men. This was put on board the Windward, his vessel, as a temporary deckhouse. The people of Shohola know more about this expedition that they do about the one on which Peary found the pole They will tell you that the dismantled car was used as a shelter by Peary and his companions during the winter night which they spent at Etah So the car evidently holds the record for a journey to the northern attitudes"

VALUABLE IN THE HOUSEHOLD
lanumerabIe Uses to Which 6awdust May Be Put to Good
 Advantage.

Sawdust may be put to serve 8 num- Der of purposes for the housewife It is good for removing sediment In glass and earthenware. A handful thrown on dying fire will help to revive 1t. Well dried and heated and sprinkled over grease spots in carpets, 1t Is use ful in removing these objectionable marks. It should be well rubbed In, left for few hours, then treated again If necessary. Heat some saw dust on a piece of paper in the oven, and it Is an excellent remedy for mil dew and damp spots on metal or other polished goods. Rub some dry saw dust on articles that have been pol ished. and the polish will last longer. Slightly moisten sawdust sprinkled on outhouse floors, verandas or larder, etc, and brushed off with a hard broom will cleanse the floor without much trouble.

Cuban RaiIroad Enterprise.

President Gomez of Cuba has con tracted with the Ferrocarril de Fer nandez & Placetas del Sur, a corpora ton organized for constructing a 40 vile railroad, connecting the two places indicated in the company s title, and has leased 1t to the old Trin idad railroad, which runs from Casil da, on the south coast, through Trini dad to Fernandez The railroad com. pany is to begin work on the new line and the reconstruction of the old by December 24, and 1t Is expected that the whole line will be in working order about 1s months later. Trini dad will thus be placed in direct rail. road communication with the rest of the island, being the last urban cen ter of any importance to be so connect ed. The new corporation will enjoy the benefits of the law of July 5, 1896 in regard to subvention.
 Another proposition which has been made by the Cuban railroad (Sir Will liam Van Horne) to take over the old line and carry it on to Sancti Spiritus, on the main line, prejudicial to the interests of the other terminal cities The Ferrocarril de Fernandez Place tas del Sur Is said to be backed by French capital to the extent oi q, 900, 900.

this way.
 Inquiries which have been made seem very completely to verify the complaints on the subject. My wife, my children and I spent our holiday in Devon," one informant states, and in my innocence I sent our luggage in advance, thinking that l should save money in cab fare and in porterage, and that l should have no worry.
 Instead I am s1O out of pocket and there is no redress
 My luggage, when it left my house, was packed in good trunks and stout bags. When it arrived in Devon it was enclosed in battered boxes and crumpled bags.
 There was one new tin trunk. It was neatly japanned in black, for in- stance, and it had cost me S5.
 When I retrieved 1t it was dented, scratched, battered and it's enamel was gone. There were the marks Of boots on it and it looked old and worn. The Gladstone bags seemed to have suffered at the feet of horses in a cavalry charge, so battered and bruised were they.
 Last year I took my luggage with me, and, on the whole, it travelled without much mutilation. So l asked friend who is an official of great railway company if he could explain why my unfortunate possessions had received such treatment when they were sent in advance
 It is the country porters who have done this to your luggage he said. They have to handle luggage sent in advance, and they get no tips for do- ing so.
 Consequently they wage war on it, and the more they can damage it the better they are pleased. We are at our wits ends to know how to prevent them.
 They slam 1t down from heights with malice aforethought; they bump t across platforms with wilful intent to damage it, and they spill it from trucks in the confident hope of re- ducing it's value by more than they would have received in tips from the owners had they accompanied it. |"
 Another correspondent gives an eye witness account of the style of treat ment to which advance luggage is subjected.
 q would very much like to warn people, he writes, mot to forward their trunks in advance.
 q have seen two instances of the way it is treated. In one case I saw porter spilling trunks, bags and boxes in a sort of avalanche down the stairs from a bridge as the easiest and most drastic method of conveying 1 1t to the platform of the junction.
 "In the A,cond case I saw another porter laboriously raising boxes and trunks in the air, and dropping them one by one on stone pavement, punctuating his performance with the remark: There goes another tup- pence'"

Splendid Cookies.

One sitter of flour, one teaspoonful soda, and pinch of salt; sift and then take lard and mix in, as for pie dough. Two cupfuls of brown sugar; flavor with mapleine and vanilla; roll out and sprinkle granulated sugar thickly on top; cut out with a large cookie cutter and press a raisin or nut in the center of each; just before putting in the oven take the tip of the finger and wet the top, and the cookies will be crinkly and crisp. If sweet milk or water is used two teaspoonfuls of baking powder in place of soda.

now in use on the Illinois divisions of the Wabash, is no fancy affair; sim ply handcar with a derrick of the lever type mounted upon it. It Is op- erated by four men, who affix the rail tongs to the rail, then swing the lever and up the 700-pound strip of steel comes. It is primitive, but saves so much time that railroads are contem- plating it's general use.
 The saving to be effected through the general use of a track-lay ing ma chine cannot be accurately estimated at present" said an official. Tt is cer- tain, though, that it's scope will not be limited to any local division of the Wabash. Gradually. as improvements are made, 1t will be supplied to all sec tion foremen, and. of course, one or more will be part of the regular ma chinery of the track-laying gang
 "The Greeks say they like to work with it. They do not realize, perhaps, that 1t may mean work for only a few. It will be difficult to divide them into smaller gangs. The Greek is clannish. He likes to be with his fellows. To scatter them in small crews of three and four generally means trouble"
 If the track-laying machinery comes into general use it will mean no work for one railway official who Is but lit tie known to the travelling public which rides over the rails which he really caused to be laid. The scout, |" or employment agent, who works night and day attempting to fill the ranks of the section gangs and railroad build CTS, will be out of a job If the ma chimes cut down the number employed to one-fourth of their present numeri- cal strength.

China, Railroad School.

An indication of the interest taken by the central government in the fu- ture of railways in China is afforded by the establishment last year, in connection with the ministry of com munications at Pekin, of a school for training railway officials.
 The school Is built for 500 students, but the number is at present limited . to $50, who come from all parts of the empire and vary in age from eighteen to twenty-five. There are about 30 teachers, including one British, one American Ca drill sergeant), two French and two German. Most of the teachers are Chinese students re- turned from abroad and they are well paid.
 The curriculum includes the Chi nese language, drill, geography, his tory of Chinese railways, mathemat. ics, drawing, chemistry, physics, traf ic management. railway bookkeeping clements of engineering, steam and electrical, workshop administration and railway company law.-Pall Mall Gazette.
