~ -: Present System. >s:s S= y.

The Quincy railroad. or. a. it was
known in the beginning. the Expert
'ment Railroad" which was construct
ed to. carry granite blocks for the
Bunker Hill monument, at Boston, was
the first railway in America. The first
cars on this primitive line were drawn
by horses. -
was put In operation out Of Bangor,
Me-, in 1886. the Quincy road antedat-
ing this several years. The Bangor
road began with two locomotives Of
Stephenson's make in England They
had no cabs for the driver or fireman
on their arrival in this country, but
rude affairs were soon attached. Wood
was used for fuel.
The first cars also were made in
England. a carriage much like a big
stagecoach being placed on a rude
platform and trucks. The capacity of
each car was eight passengers. In tho
beginning the one train on the line
made about twelve miles in forty min
utes. and the people of the country
round about marveled at the speed It
made.
The rails on these pioneer railways
were made Of strap iron. spiked down
to scantlings.
The Boston & Lowell, Boston 4
Providence, and Boston & Worcester
railroads were all opened for traffic
in 1885.

EXPERIENCE A TRYING ONE
Survivor Of Railroad Wreck In Which
Forty Lost Their Lives, Tells
Of Scene.

Among the survivors of the railway
disaster at Bellay-le!Thouet, in which
forty persons lost their lives, is a man
who, from hospital cot, related his
experiences as follows to a reporter
Of LIE Matin of Paris:
Il thought at the time of the catas-
trophe that l was hopelessly lost.
Looking out, saw the parapet of the
bridge suddenly swing and give way.
and then there was the horrible, sud.
den sensation of falling. A cold shud-
der came over us as We felt the water
pouring round our feet. There were
several passengers in the same COM
partment in a frantic state of mind.
but tnstinctively a sort of discipline
was obligatory on US. I was near the
door. and 1 saw that the window
above me was over the water. 1 seized
strap, and how did it l scarcely
remember, but I smashed through the
window with my head, climbed out,
and was safe. A hand was stretched
out toward me from inside. l seized
it, and pulled out man. Next there
was lady, and we dragged her out,
and finally all that had been In tho
compartment were safe. But worse
time came. For hours We were perched
on the roof OF the car in the middle
of the stream, and every moment the
submerged wreck was threatened with
being swept away. However. am
safe at last"

New Mesh BAGS.

Attractive as we'll as convenient is
the new mesh bag upon the outside of
which is hung purse made Of gold
or silver to match the mesh. The
purse is not mesh one but is made of
slabs of the precious metal, with a Sc
cret snap, so that it's owner, if she can
keep the secret of the fastening, can
also feel assured that her money is
safe.
Since large bags became fashionable
the small purse that can be found
easily has been a necessity, and, in
some cases. is slung inside the bag.
The point Of having it fixed, either
outside or in, is obvious, for it Is trou-
blesome to search in the vastness of
large bag when money is required
all in hurry, without disturbing the
rest Of the contents.

HOW TO WASH EIDERD0WN
Must Be RInsed Thoroughly and Dried
Out Of Doors on Sunny,
Breezy Day.

Silk or sateen covered eiderdown
quilts can without difficulty be washed
at home.
Two things, however, are necessary
to perfect success. First, the quilt
must be dried out Of doors on sunny,
breezy day. and second, it must be
rinsed through several clear, clean wa
tiers.
Make strong suds of good white
soap shaved into boiling water. Add
teaspOonful of household ammonia
to every gallon Of water, and let the
quilt soak for half an hour in a tut
half full of water.
Squeeze (don't ruby the dirt out;
then change the water, using tepid
water for the first rinsing and cold
water to which handful of salt has
been added for at least two other rims
tngs. Squeeze the water out, hang
between two lines in the bright sun,
stretching the quilt as nearly fiat as
possible Shake it occasionally during
the drying process, and turn over once
or twice, SO that every bit of down
Will be dry and fluffy.
