Dear Miss Doom:
l am deeply distressed. my little
girl went to the country for a few
weeks and when she returned

Will you please tell me how / can

The simplest and surest way of
DISCRIMINATING the filthy creatures
is to soak the hair at night in tine

kerchief over. the head to prevent
evaporation during the night. In
the morning loosen the hair. brush

ODD FITTINGS FOR TRAINS
Car on Mountain Road Near Salzbure
Carries BaIIoon-One Rooted With
Water Tanks in India.

On a mountain railroad near SalZ-
burg a railroad carriage is actually
fitted with balloon. At the mountain
top a tank below the car is filled with
water, sufficient to counteract the up
ward pull of the gas bag, which the We
hicle thus drags down with it upon
the return journey.
Trains are frequently being put to
odd uses. The window of a railroad
saloon in Denmark forms royal auto
graph album. Royal visitors scratch
their names on one of the panes, which
now show, among other royal auto
graphs, those of King Edward and
Queen Alexandra.
The vestibule to the train belonging
to the German emperor holds several
fine statues, the car built for President
Diaz of Mexico contains a complete
veranda, and that belonging to the
viceroy of India is rooted with water
tanks, which contribute towards cool.
ness, and furnish water for domestic
purposes on the train.
Russias important trains carry a
car, above which rises little belfry
containing a chime of bells.

Safety of Railroad Travel.

1t may soon be said, if it is not al
ready true, that travelling on stand
ard American railway is the safest
thing in the world The Pennsylvania,
for instance, last year handled Ill ,000,-
900 passengers without killing one in
a train accident. This road handled
nearly six hundred million passengers,
or more than one-third of the popula-
ton of the globe, in the past six years,
during which only 16 passengers lost
their lives. In this time. out of 5,000,-
900 trains run, only five met with
wrecks resulting in the death of pas
sengers. 1t takes very high business
morale to get such a result. Yet al
most no consideration is given by the
lawmaking critics to such magnifi-
cent showing on the part of the mas
tiers of the country's transportation

CAR FOUND DROWNED'
IN FIFTEEN FEET OF WATER AND
HAD NOT BEEN MISSED.
Not the Only Queer Disappearance
That Has Place on Railroad
Records-Load Of silver Ore
Dumped in Swamp.

Some years ago, at Nelson, British
Columbia, freight car was discovered
quite by accident in ten or fifteen feet
of water off the dock.
II the railroad company had ever
missed the car there was no record of
1t at Nelson, and the only explanation
that the local agents could make was
that some careless switching engineer
had bumped the car off the dock and
had failed to report its loss, possibly
through fear of being reprimanded or
losing his position.
The contents of freight cars fire.
quently disappear equally mysterious
ly. Some years ago a valuable con-
signment of ore from a Canadian mine
was sent to New York for delivery to
a local smelter. The ore did not ar
rive, and the usual "tracers" sent out
from both ends failed to find the miss
ing shipment. Months afterward this
was discovered. Through some over
sight the papers were missing when
the freight train drew into the New
York terminal, and the car was shunt-
ed 10 a side-track to await information.
1t happened that this track was one
where carloads of cinders from the
rouhdhouse were accumulated.
When these cars were ready, a
switch engine coupled them all and
took them to fill in a swamp. They
took along also the car of ore, which
was dumped with the cinders into the
mud. The discovery of few pieces Of
rich silver ore among the ashes ae-
tracted the attention of track-walkers
or others, and led to inquiry. OF
course it was impossible to rescue the
ore, and the railway company had to
pay the shippers for it's estimated
value.
We are accustomed to hear from
time to time of ships reported miss
Ing, no trace of them being found aft
erwards, but it is doubtful if many of
us had thought of the possibility of
losing engines or railway cars on land,
though it is fact that the experience
of the English is not without parallel
in Canada. Anyone who is watching
a freight train pass, if not familiar
with the checking system at all juno
ton points, might wonder how cars
ever got back home again" for the
average freight train is made up of
units from United States railroads,
often thousands of miles away and, ex-
cepting in the case of coal trains, it
frequently happens that there are
more cars belonging to other systems
than to the one on which the train
may be travelling.

The embroidery for this gown in the

There is an overdrapery of scant

Borrowers in Old Japan.

In the course of a lecture on Gov
eminent Finances and Social Life in
Japan" before the Japan society, In
London, recently, Kengo Mort, finan-
cial commissioner and attache for the
imperial japanese government, said
that in the olden days gentlemen tried
to keep aloof from all money transac-
tons. OF course, there were borrow
ers and lenders then, as there are to-
day and even among the samurai
class.
But their agreements, if written at
all, were always worded in manner
characteristic Of the spirit Of the
times. One such agreement ran:
Dear Sir-I hereby confirm that Dor
rowed from you the aforementioned
sum of money. Should | not repay
the sum you are entitled to laugh at

MADE AN EXCELLENT RECORD
Work Of Grade Elimination Done In
Record Time and Without seri-
Gus Accident.

The Nickel Plate railroad is complet-
ing two and a quarter million dollar
grade elimination improvement in the
city of Cleveland. A summary of the
work indicates that the efforts to safe
guard employees, at one time about
seven hundred. and to carry on the
undertaking economically and efficient
ly have accomplished the hoped-for re-
suits.
The most serious personal injury
which occurred during the three and
half years Of construction was the
mangling of hand in the gearing Of
Lidgerwood unloader.
A 70-ton steam shovel excavated in
2912 months actual working time
some seven hundred thousand cubic
yards. Lost time due to breakdown of
the shovel was 80 hours. or about one
hour a month. 1t is obvious that no
machine could show such efficiency
under trying conditions without a
capable crew. Records of delays in the
work show no time lost by the shovel
due to the absence or failure of her
crew.
In these days, when the critics of
railroad management are ready to en-
phasize railroad deficiencies through
every medium, the public is entitled to
know facts like the above in the New
York Central grade elimination work
