IN. W correspondent.
In giving a brief resume of rail-
road progress, report tells Of the
advancement in carrying mails from d
speed Of seven miles per day, twenty
years before that date, up to nine
miles per hour at the date of the re-
port. Then comes this naive state
ment: Attempts are making to
force 1t up to ten miles an hour, but
at anything beyond this, to a GER
tainty, horsepower fails us. How,
then, shall we find terms adequate to
express the value of discovery which
carries US from ten to twenty or thirty
miles an hour?"
Speaking of the expenses Of rail.
road maintenance, the report men-
tons days cost Of train upon the
Manchester railroad. This was in
England. and. Of course. English
money. "The hire of the engine man.
four shillings; fireman. two shillings
and six pence; coal, three shillings
and four pence; oil, one shilling. To-
tai. ten shillings and ten pence ster.
ling" Y
At every point in this old report one
finds facts Of great interest to one liv-
ing in the present day. when air traffic
brings up similar comments.
At that time the Freeman and Mes
senger was published by G. N. Starr,
with weekly issue and subscription
price of $3.50 year. In clubs of
twelve, the cost was brought down to
$1.25 Advertising went by the square
inch, instead of by column inch as
now, and the rate was 81 per square,
with liberal discount to those who
advertise by the year"
Even so far along as 1851. when
the New York e Erie railroad went
through Dayton, four miles away,
newspaper methods were somewhat
different from now. In an obscure
place on the inside pages of a Co.
wanda paper was a short notice of
the passing through of President
Millard Fillmore, with Daniel Web
ster, secretary Of state, the remainder
of the cabinet, Governor Washington
Hunt of New York and railroad Off
cials. Over this was the head: "Hor-
rible Casualty" At the bottom of the
article it said that two young men,
Franklin Peacock and Ebenezer Hen
ry, were badly and perhaps fatally in
jured by the premature explosion or
bursting of cannon fired in salute to
the party. g.
The following week, in the editorial
notices, the death of young Peacock
was mentioned. So do times and
newspapers change.-Buffalo Express.

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
\ ITCHED so HE COULD
NOT SLEEP

P"On July 27, 1909, we left Boston for
trip to England and Ireland, taking
ably with us. After being in Ireland
few days a nasty rash came out all
yer his body. We took him to doc
who gave us medicine for him.
''The trouble started in the form OF
"a rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and We were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when We reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
itoh and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pleteiy covered with it at different
times. It was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars. or
other kind of Disagreement. and baby
Is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment We have had no

COLD WEATHER AND METALS
Scientists Assert Temperature Makes
No Difference, but Railroad
Men Disagree.

Broken rails and broken axles have
caused many accidents this winter,
with its unusually low temperature,
yet certain scientists who are report.
ed to be high authorities concerning
strength of material insist that cold
does not cause metal to become brit
tie, and that the idea that sucn is the
case is a popular fallacy. Among the
scientists holding these views are
Style, Fairbain, Kirkaldy. Webster
the United States government com
mission, and others; but they have
against them all the practical men
who have to handle tools or material
in zero weather. 1t is no superstition
that induced a wood chopper to warm
bis ak before beginning work on a
frosty morning: and it is the teachings
of experience thatinduces the trackman
to tighten his blows on his cold chisel

that temperature makes no difference
to the resisting power of metals, not
withstanding that the popular voice
has always maintained that metals
break more readily in cold than In

QUEEN MARY STARTS A CULT

Owing to the incentive of Queen
Mary, who is devotee of the needle,
the cult of stitchery prevails in So
ciety to an amazing extent. Every
other woman one meets is talking OF
needlework and the craft of the
needle; it is a sort of obsession. The
mysteries of satin stitch, padded and
otherwise, of crewel work, braid
work. COUGHING, herringbone, button
hole and French knots are discussed
by everybody. When Queen Mary
came back from India and the Dur
bar she found society as keen on
needlework as it used to be on bridge.
One of the cleverest needleworkers
is Lady Glenconner (sister-in-law of
Mrs. Asquith), who makes her own
designs and has original ideas for
decoration. She is fond of big. bold
patterns In vivid colors and has
worked many bedspreads and cover
lets in William Morris patterns.
There Is a splendid specimen of her
work at Wilsford Manor, Salisbury, on
a slender mahogany bed of very oil,

While she was in Syracuse, there
came the horror of the Messina

WOMAN WHO AIDS RUSS GIRLS

Anna Maria Krapidinski, special

Chicago the other day after gathering
statistics through the medium of the
Immigrants Protective league and

She was detailed to investigate the
conditions under which immigrant
girls are cared for by the United

at Ellis Island.
She has clear conception OF the
necessities of the situation. A yearly
