Stopping Trains With Wind. Railway managers nowadays have a very great respect for air pressure, and design their trains so as to eliminate as far as possible the hostile effect of the wind. No such respect bothered Commodore Vanderbilt, however, sa)^ World's Work, when Mr. George Westinghouse first submitted to him his plan for the use of airbrakes on railway trains. Mr. Westinghouse had been for several years hard at work to adapt air pressure to the purpose he had in mind?^to make the handling of swift trains safer. He had at last achieved his object, and with his completed apparatus set out to conquer railway men. After much difficulty, he secured an interview with Commodore Vanderbilt, then the greatest railway man in the country. Tha old man *' 1 * a? t-l- -.1 ?UU listened to nis expiuuauuus wuu iuminishlng patience. "Do you mean to tell me," he broke in at last, "that you can stop a railroad train with wind?" "Well, yes," replied Mr. Westinghouse. "As air is wind, I suppose you could call it that." "I've no time to waste on fools," said the great man, and the interview was ended.?Youth s Companion. Women's Clirbs. On the whole, the woman's club has been built .upon the masculine model, usually with somewhat flimsier and cheaper furniture than is quite satisfactory to a man. But no one any longer wonders at the presense of a smoking-room, for whether it h called by the name or simply labelled "Tea Room," the evidence of cigarettes is abundant. Lately, too, the billiardroom has gained a footing. For a time the Sandringham was the pioneer in this matter. It was soon imitated by the Ladies' Army and Navy, the Grosvenor Crescent, the New County and the Lyceum, the last of which has engaged a fully qualified "lady billiard marker," who will give lessons in the mornings to ambitious wives, sisters, cousins aunts and daughters who want to give their male fo^ks a decent hundred up after dinner. For In this respect the women's clubs have gone beyond their masculine exemplars, from which women are'excluded as rigorously as men are forbidden entry to the harem of a Turkish Sultan. I do not know of a single woman's club to which male guests are denied at least occasional admittances Rembrandt and Murillo. Through the eighteenth century Dutch painters, like these of other countries, turned to Italy for inspiration; Rembrandt's marvels of light were forgotten or condemned by ignorant critics; his portraits, that search into the souls of his subjects, despised for their "laborious, ignorant diligence." He was neglected, while Murillo continued to be abundantly admired. ' Now, however, Murillo is esteemed less highly, and Rembrandt has been restored to his place among the giants.?St. Nicholas.

GREAT CHANGE From Change in FooJ. * The brain depends much more on the stomach than wc are apt to suppose until we take thought in the matter. Feed the stomach on proper food easy I to digest and containing the proper amount of phosphates and the healthy brain -will respond to all demands. A notable housewife in .Buffalo writes: "The doctor, diagnosed my trouble as a 'nervous affection of the stomach.* I was actually so nervous that I could not sit still for five minutes to read the newspaper, and to attend to my household duties was simply impossible. I doctored all the time with remedies, biit medicine did no good. "My physician put me on all sorts of /diet, and I tried many kinds of cereal foods, but none of them agreed with me. I was almost discouraged, and when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with many misgivings?I had no faith that it would succeed where everything else had failed. "But it did succeed, and you don't know how glad I am that I tried it. I feel like a new person, I have gained in weight and I don'c have that terrible burning sensation .n iny stomach any more. I feel so strong again that I am surprised at myself. The street noUes that used to irritate me so, I never notice now, and my mind is so clear that my household duties are a real pleasure." Name given by Postura Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Now why was this great change made in this woman? The stomach and the brain had not ?uu *v>* + L-!n/l nf I Deen suppneu vuu lue food to rebuild and strergthen the nerve centres in these organs. It is absolute folly to try to do this with medicine. There is but one sure way, and that is to quit the old food that has failed and take on Grape-Nuts food, which is more than half digested in the process of manufacture and is rich in the phosphate of potash contained in the natural grain, which unites with albumen and water?the only three substances that will make up the soft gray filling in the thousands of delicate nerve centres in the brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is a ure road back to health in all such cases.# ANOTHER LIFE SAVED. Mrs. G. W. Fooks, of Salisbury, Md.t vrife of G. W. Fooks, Sheriff of Wieolimbs were badly swollen.

" That the welfs^e of millions should hang upon the w*I, whim and "wprd of a single individual?and this individual walled away from all real knowledge of the people's condition and natural wishes?is an anachronism of tragic proportions?an anachronism which leads to deplorable assassination on the one side, and on the other to such hideous massacres of the confiding innocent as took piace in St Petersburg on Sunday the 22d of January, 1905. In all the history of man no more pregnant opportunity was ever offer ed Jd a sovereign than that offered to the Czar Nicholas when his people came to him, not with swords and guns, but bearing a .jetition .carrying the scared icons, and pictures of the Czar, and following a cross The humblest Turk is protected in presenting a petition to his Sultan; but the White Czar, the beloved Little Father, allows his petitioning subjects to be slaughtered like mad dogs! The psychologist and the philosopher can find a score of explanations of the conduct of the troubled, perplexed and wrongly advised Czar on that day of judgment for him and for the exploded system of government which he represents. Yet is remains true that, strive as he may to unao the awful effects of his action on that 22d of January, the doom of the Russian oligarchy was sealed. Through whatever slow or rapid processes, by means of whatever wise concessions or hysterical convulsions, Russia from now on will advance painfully, perhaps with pitiful reactions, toward some modern and rational form of government. The new government may or may not retain imperial forms, as in Japan. The danger is that the blind, brutal, stupid measures of repression, the grinding system of Imperial uniformity, may so Inflame the people that fearful reprisals and chimerical schemes of reform will take the place of wise and orderly measures, and that the "man on horseback" may, for a time, stand in the path of progress.?From an Editorial in the Century. STRIKERS STAND PAT. Peace in Chicago Seems to Be Farther Away Than Ever?Trouble Expected to Spread. Sunday brought no change in the attitude of either side to the labor controversy now in progress in Chicago, and everything points to an ex- j tension of the teamsters' strike to j many other business houses. Officials J of the seven express companies whose refusal to reinstate any of their striking employees, caused the collapse of the settlement of the trouble, still adhere to their determination not to j give employment to any of their for- j mer emDloyees and the other firms | involved in the difficulty declared that they would stand by the express companies in the fight The teamsters' union has just taken as firm a stand as the employers, and it was stated by President Shea that the union would never call off the strike until the express companies came to terms. The first spread of the strike is expected to come when the Lumbermen's Association, an organization ^employing 2,400 teamsters, issues an order to their men to make deliveries to all business houses, regardless of whether they are involved in the strike or not In anticipation of such an order the teamsters met Sunday afternoon and voted to go on strike should any teamster be discharged for refusing to obey the order of the association. With non-union drivers making deliveries for the lumbermen, the trouble will undoubtedly spread to affiliated industries, as the union men employed on buildings will refuse to handle material delivered to nonunion labor. Should this strike be called, tnere seems to be nothing that can prevent a general industrial upheaval in Chicago. Levy Meyer, chief counsel for the Employers' Association, gu?w out a statement Sunday night, in which hb said: "The employers propose to do business and will continue to invoke every legal avenue for the protection of their men and property. That the employers are right in the attitudv they have assumed in the controversy was demonstrated by the fact that every term and condition they insisted on was agreed to by Shea and his committee. Notwithstanding this, however, Shea now insists that the express companies be boycotted by us in order to bring about a settlement of the strike. "This we will never do, and even if we were willing to comply with the demands of Shea to take such action would be a crime which no law-abiding person would countenance. The teamsters struck against the express companies in violation of the letter of their agreement, despite the fact that the men were told that if they struck they would not be re-employed. The employers' association to a man believe that the seven express companies ^ire justified in the stand they have taken and our organization will use every endeavor to assist the express companies in maintaining the decision they have reached. Of course, this decision means that there will be no settlement of the strike unless the union withdraws its demand, but it is the only thing left for us to do." Alonzo Wygant, general agent of the United States Express company, said that so far as a settlement of the strike was concerned, the only way it could be ended would be for the teamsters to surrender.

Wallace, chief engineer of the Isthmian Canal Commission, said recently that there are now practically five thousand men engaged under his direction on the engineering and construction work of the canaL The work of installing an American plant at Culebra is going forward as fast as the machinery and supplies can be* obtained on the isthmus. When Mr.-Wallace left there were six American steam shovels at work in the Culebra excavation, and arrangements had been made to install additional machines at the rate of two a month. The health of the young Americans on the isthmus is particularly good, and the employes from the United States have been remarkably free from fever. The Sanitary Department is beginning to show very positive results. The water supply for the city of Panama will ho nvailnhlci hir _Tii1t7 1 Wo. ter supply systems also are being installed at various points along the line of the canal work. Several large hotels for the accommodation of the Americans are nearly completed, and Mr. Wallace states that it will be only a matter of a few months now before life on the isthmus will have practically all the comforts and conveniences that are obtainable here on a large work of this character. In answer to a question as to the necessity of an immediate decision by the commission on a plan of construction, Mr. Wallace said that it would require about two years to manufacture and install the necessary machinery to complete the excavation for a canal at a sixty-foot level?work which would be necessary in any event During this period ample time will be afforded for investigation and thorough analysis of all the elements or factors that arn tn moto nn thn niwhlam no a whole. In the meantime the excavationv of the central Culebca cut, which is the controlling element, both as to time ONE OF and cost, will be pushed vigorously with the aid of modern American excavating machinery. The investigations being conducted include diamond drill work along the entire line of the canal, the character of the formation being revealed in this manner to *a depth of forty feet below the surface. These borings will give absolute information as to the character of the material to be encountered in the canal work. In addition, shafts are being sunk at certain points to reveal more fully the character of the formation. Tim noHvAhor't Krnwn.

SEAL FOR TELEPHONE TRANSMITTER The invention shown in the accompanying cut relates to certain new and useful improvements in telephone at- 4 tachments, the primary object of which is to provide mean9 adapted to be attached to a telephone receiver for engagements with the telephone transmitter , whereby the latter may be closed or sealed against sound until the device is detached from the transmitter. It is frequently desired by those using the telephone to converse with others in the office relative to certain t ^ jff SEAL FOB TELEPHONE TBAH8MITTEB. | matters, and oftentimes it Is not de sired to have the person at the other _' end of the line overhear the conversa- tion carried on in the office. Under , these conditions the person speaking $ does not desire to return the receiver jf; to its hook, for the reason that the rag line would then be cut off. Neither is It desirable to allow the receiver to . v hang dependent from its wires, and in :V case it is desired to close the transmitter it must be done by holding the v ^ hand over the same or by .some like inconvenient means. It is the purpose of this invention HE PANAMA CANAL ROUTE. to overcome thps? defects and provide J means for closing the transmitter ana also supporting the receiver while it is detached from the hook.
