GIVES ASSURANCE
 AS 10 DRAINAGE

In response to a telegram from Mayor w. H. Duncan, calling his at tention to the fact that the drainage ditch was being filled up under the site of the new passenger station, Supt. c. B. Wildman has written that this drainage will be properly cared for before the improvements are com pleted. The letter says;
 Il think you will find that when we complete our drainage proposition at that point the water will be properly taken care of and you will have no trouble, such as you speak of; how ever, l am taking the matter up with the management and will give them your views in the matter. In the mean time do not let anything come up that will delay the work at that point If we find it is necessary to put drain age under the platform, it will be done. l can assure you that the drainage will be properly taken care of one way or another.

BULLET PHOTOGRAPHY.
Curious Effect of Shooting Through G
Thin Stick of Wood.


Thin Stick of Wood.
Moving pictures have been made at
the rate of 100000 a second in contrast
with the rate of fifteen or twenty a
second, which is enough when repro
duced on screen to give the eye the
impression of a continuous picture
The only thing that moves fast enough
to make such tremendous speed worth
using is bullet, and some extraordi-
nary pictures of bullets have been ia
ken at this rate, seventy-two pictures
being taken of a revolver bullet as it
moved ten inches from the muzzle.
Pictures Of bullet passing through
a stick Of wood showed a queer condi-
ton. The bullet passed completely
through the thin stick and was we'll on
its way beyond before the wood gave
any sign of distress. Then some tiny
splinters started out, following the bull
let; the stick began to split, and after
the bullet had proceeded some distance
the stick suddenly fell to pieces. No
camera shutters are fast enough to
take pictures at anything like this
speed, so no shutter was used.
Instead, a series of electric sparks
was flashed, the sparks following one
another at the rate Of 100000 a second,
each spark making a picture. The
film was mounted on a wheel about
three feet in circumference, and the
wheel was revolved at the rate of 5000
revolutions a minute. When all was
ready the bullet was shot, the spark
flashed and the wheel revolved, the
actual exposure being limited to frac-
ton Of a second so as not to pile up
pictures one over the other.-Saturday

Care Of the Nails.

Form the habit of caring for
your nails. Select a certain time
each day for the treatment and
let nothing intrude to prevent
you from carrying out your duty.
A slipshod manner of treating
the nails will do no good.
File the nails into the shape
you like the best and then soak
the finger tips in warm soap suds
to which a little benzine has
been added. While the nails are
wet rub some vaseline around
the roots. Take an orange wood
stick and gently push the flesh
back all around the nails, each
one in turn, not only about the
half-moons, but the entire length
of the nails.
For cleansing under the nails,
an old handkerchief dipped in a
bit of lemon juice and passed I'M
der the nails by means of the
orange stick is all that is requir-
ed.

FOUND ITS GOLDEN HEAD.
Riddle of a Marble Column In Italy
Read by Beggar.


Read by Besgar.
Near the monastery of San Vito, in
Naples, stood a marble column that
had been erected by an eccentric
Frenchman about the beginning of the
last century. On it were written in
French the following enigmatic words:
"On May 1 every year have a golden
head"
The inscription sorely puzzled the
inhabitants of Naples. On May 1 the
year after the erection of the column
a great crowd came to it in the hope
Of finding the top covered with gold
pieces. Needless to say, they went
home with their pockets as empty as
they were when they came.
For several years people came to see
the promised wonder and went away
disappointed. At last the authorities
had the column taken down in the be-
lief that treasure would be found be-
meath it. Nothing but earth was
found, and so the column was set up
again. Obviously the words had a
mystic meaning, but no one was clever
enough to guess it, and for years the
riddle remained unsolved.
Finally in 1871 a ragged beggar
named Annibale Tosci noticed the in.
scription. He stood looking at it for a
long time while he pondered its mean
ing. Then suddenly the solution OF
the puzzle flashed into his mind. He
waited patiently until May before he
tested the accuracy Of his interpreta'
ton Of the mystic words.
On the day mentioned in the inscrip
ton Tosci, bearing a pick and shovel
set out at daybreak for the column
He arrived before any chance visitors
and as soon as the monastery's bells
tolled 6 he started digging in the
ground covered by the shadow of the
top of the column. He had not dug
long before he came on a satchel thai
contained $4,000 francs. The inscrip
ton was a true one-the head of the
column covered the golden treasure
every year on May 1.
Annibale Tosci, the beggar whose
sharp guess had given him compare
tive wealth, became a landowner neal
Mantua. He died at the age Of nine
ty-four.-Youth's Companion.

HISTORIC RAILROAD TRIP.
Fillmore and Webster on the Erie's
First THROUGH Train.

First Through Train.
The completion of the Erie was the
most important event in the history of
railroad building down to that time-a
matter of national consequence Rec
ignition Of this fact was made when
in May, 1851, a special train carried
on two days trip through the noun
tains and valleys of southern New
York, sweet with the leaves and bios
SONS of early summer, President Fill
more, four members of his cabinet and
other guests of national distinction.
Daniel Webster, majestic even un-
der his heavy burden Of age and ILL
health, was secretary Of state in Fill
more's cabinet and rode on that first
through train. He made the journey
in rocking chair dashed to a fiat car,
that he might lose nothing of the seen
cry and the sweetness Of the fresh YER
dure. Nor was he too feeble to enjoy
the great barbecue at Dunkirk, where
oxen and sheep were roasted whole,
pork and beans were cooked in YES
sells holding fifty gallons each, bread
was baked in loaves ten feet long and
two feet thick, so heavy that two men
staggered under their burden, and the
whole was served at a table 300 feet
long, spread under a specially built
shed along Railroad street from Deer
to Lion street.
1t was a great day for Dunkirk; it
was great day for New York state
and the nation, and it was a great day
also for President Fillmore, who found
the pork and beans especially to his
taste.-Wells Fargo Messenger.
