A railroad Seal that may man the Atchison, To peka. & Santa Fe's entry to St. Louis, L said to be under consideration. Since the promoters of the SL Louis, Kansas City & Colorado railway, now building west from St. l.ouis. announced that Clinton, Mo., is to be the line's destina tion, there have been rumors that the company will buy or has already ar ranged for rhe pureha.se of the old Blair line from Kansas City to Clinton. This road Is on of the two now owned by the 'Frisco system that parallel each other from Kansas City to Clinton. They are so close together that one company can hardly use Vo'.h. The St. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado used ta be a Santa Fe property out the con struction of the present extension west to Clinton is Pi tue hands of a conpany in which John Scullin and David It.

EOLD DEED REMEMBERED. Famous "Andrews Kaid" Locomotive to Be Put on Exhibition. The famous engine "General," which was used by Captain Jamea J. Andrews and his party of raiders in an attempt to burn the bridges on the Western & Atlantic railroad, on April 12, 1S62, has been sent by the Nashville, Chattanoo ga & St. Iouisj raliway to be set up in the union depot at Chattanooga aa a permanent monument to the heroes of that daring raid. The engine and sev eral boxcars were stolen from a passen ger train while the crew was eating breakfast at Big Shanty. The raiders were closely pursued by the conductor and a party of Confederate soldiers on a switching engine, and at a point be tween Ringgold and Crraysville the en gine was abandoned and the bridge burning scheme had to be given up as a failure. All of the party, numbering 2'i or 23, were captured and eight were ex ecuted as spies. The survivors have erected a monument in memory of th affair, in the national cemetery at Chat tanooga. The X.. C. & St. L. Ry. has erected a tablet marking the spot whera the engine was captured, another where it was abandoned and a third tablet has been erected in front of the engine in Chattanooga. RUNAWAY LOCOMOTIVE. Did $100,000 WortbTof Damage to a Canning Factory. Occasionally a good deal of damage is done to private property by a derailed locomotive. On August 24, a Chicago & Northwestern locomotive and boxcar, in the absence of the engineer and fireman got loose on a grade in Janesville, Wis., jumped the track and went through one end of a canning factory. The building was of brick, just finished at a cost of $130,000. The engine struck a large wa ter tank and it fell lengthwise of the building and crushed through. A large number of tin cans were smashed, and costly special machinery, engine and boilers were badly damaged. The loss i3 estimated at $100,000. NEW JOB CHEATED. Union and Southern Pacifies to Have Superintendent of Mail Contracts. Omaha. Sept. 4. The management of the Union and SouthernPacific roadshas created the office of superintendent of mail contractors and it is understood that Herbert Thra.il. now superintendent of the eighth division of the railway mail service, is to be appointed to the position, retaining also his present posi tion. The duties of the office will in clude the designing, building and fitting up of mail cars and superintending the weighing of mails. An expert in mail handling is required for the office who has an intimate knowledge with the de tails connected with the postal require ments on the various lines of railroads, as well as being able to conduct nego tiations with the government, and Mr. Thrall has been selected because of his varied experience in the mail service. RAILROAD CLIPPING& An offer of SaOOniTO bonus has been made by the Fourth Ward Improvement asso ciation of Kansas City if the l'nion Depot company will build a new union depot in or near the Fourth ward. Railway Ga zette. At Salt Lake the scalpers are endeavor ing to scalp each other. One man is ac cused of standing in with the railroad and bulletins to the road all tickets not bought by him but by rival scalpers. He tets the numbers of tickers, it is claimed, and if he cannot buy them at cheap rates he bulletins them. If he does buy them, the rf'ther scalpers declare, he is protected. Kansas City Journal. In two scalping offices in St. Louis which were raided by the police a few days asro. a large number of altered, counterfeited and otherwise irregular tickets were seized. Some of the tickets had been washed, some were plugged, destinations were changed, and one was a counterfeit altogether. This is the kind of business which legislatures are disin clined to interfere with by passing laws which would protect passengers and carriers alike. Railway Age. The Baltimore & Ohio on August 19 brought 4,'X'O excursionists to Chicago from Chicago Junction. O.. five trains of l'j coaches each being required. The ro nd trip rate was J3.n0. the distance being miles. This is the first of two excursions that this company will run into Chicago from points in Ohio and Indiana during the summer. The excursions are operated under an agreement among the roads east of Chicago, each line agreeing to run a certain number on specified dates, so there will be no competition among the lines. Railway Age. In regard to the report at the end of the present year the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe will abandon its trans-Pacific steamship line from San Diego, Cal.. now operated by the California & Oriental Steamship company, and will establish ati Orivntal service from the same port, with connections for Central and South Amer ica, it is announced that the contract between the Santa Fe and the California fc Oriental company does not expire until February 1 next. It may oa may not be renewed, and all reports on the subject are premature. Kansas City Journal. There has been considerable doing along the Hudson River railroad of late, in the way of changing names of stations. The most notable ciianee was the one from Sing Sing to Ossining: and it is esti mated that from 10 to 20 passengers are carried by the station now every day. The station so well known as Low Point is still remembered by scores of pass engers as Low Point. It was named Carthage landing, but the public simply would not have it, and now the company lias changed again, and the place is called Chelsea. The station on the West Shore road so long known as Cranstons. is now known as Highland Falls, and passengers are frequently carried by it on that ac count. ..." Some one has noted that when the company changes the name of a station it at once proceeds to make, im provements in the place. If this be the Invariable rule, what is the matter with changing the name of the Poughkeepsie station to anv name under the sun. pro vided it wiil "result in a new station? Poughkeepsie Press.

In every well ordered culinary department we find that the importance of having a lemon on hand is as great a considera tion in the -iStination of the cook as the presence of the historic horseshoe nail. Without a lemon when a lemon is needed, tiie cook considers that she has wrought in vain. Nearly everything in the sweet list of dishes is .lavored with lemon occa sionally, and not only in sweets is it used, but added to many other dishes that, but for its agreeable pungency and flavor, would be rather tasteless and insipid. THE JUICE OP LEMON. This is valued principally on account of its useful unti-scorbutic properties, and for this reason should be used in some form almost every day in winter as in summer, as the heavier meat diet usually consumed in cold weather cre ates the same need for blood-purifying elements. A wise use of nature's rem edies as food accessories will not only add to the pleasure of eating, but fur nish all the digests necessary, without resorting to artificial help The acid of lemon (citric) while too strong to use uless diluted with some other substance or neutralized with oils, is the most digestible and whole some of all acid?, and the most service able, as it can be used for all practical purposes when the introduction of an acid is necessary to fond. Another great virtue it possesses, which will re commend it to all cautious housewives, is that it is a natural and wholesome acid which they may obtain from na ture's laboratory without fear of adul teration, although be it known that if is cheaper to produce pure cider vine gar than an imitation of the same; the apple crop governs the supply, how ever, and when the supply is less than the demand, artificial methods may be resorted to. The acid of lemon Juice being very sharp, less is required to d:i the work, and, being almost colorless, it can be used in delicate sauces, jellies, etc., without spoiling their appearance. The several acids cf vegetable prod uct all probably act in the process of digestion and nutrition in much the same way; exerting a solvent action up on many of the food substances. Re garding them in the light of nutrients, they would be of little value, as they cannot be taken in sufficient quantity to perceptibly increase the vital powers. But all foods are not taken with the purpose of increasing force or power. After using the best materials for build ing the structure, there are many little provisions to be considered for keeping it in good repair. For this purpose we have what many regard aa the nones sentials among food materials. Too lit tle attention is paid to these so-called superfluous matters.whieh, after all, are the very factors that make the bodily structure a desirable possession. ESSENTIAL, OIL OF LEMON. This oil, that gives such a pungent and agreeable flavor, occurs in the rind of the fruit; the slightest scratch on the surface will liberate it, and for this reason and because tne white, pulpy part lying directly underneath the thin, yellow skin, is bitter and indigestible, we should grate the outer part very lightly and carefully. The best grade of the oil .-of lemon is. of necessity, ex pensive, and it must be caretuiiy ex tracted. Housekeepers should remem ber this when purchasing, and also bear in mind the fact that the best goods are the cheapest, as they will go much further than a weaker and perhaps adulterated quality. In all prepared food products we must remember that living prices, at least, must be divided between the producer, the man who prepares them for the market and the seller, to say nothing of those who are employed by these to do the actual la bor. The justice of high prices is some times questionable, but not when the goods are of the highest and purest duality. KEEPING LEMONS. It is a misfortune indeed to live beyond the immediate reach of a lemon. But generally a little forethought and man agement will provide against the "found wanting" in this case. There are several methods used to preserve the fresh lemon. That em ployed by the growers is wrapping each one separately in tisfsue paper and keeping them in a cool, dry place. An other way that is often, practical is to cover them with buttermilk in a covered vessel; changing the buttermilk every fortnight at least. It is claimed that they will keep fresh for six months or longer. When wanted for use, .rub them perfectly dry with a soft cloth. LEMON SOUP. This is a well-made chicken broth thickened with eggs and cream or milk to the consistency of thick cream, and flavored with lemon juice just before sering. LEMON SAfCE FOR FISH. Set a small saucepan over another containing hot water; place in the saucepan four ounces of butter, with the juice of a large lemon. Beat rap idly until thick and hot, add salt and pepper to taste, and just before remov ing from the fire beat in the yolks of two eggs, and when thoroughly heated remove at once from the fire, and serve. LEMON JELLY. Soak half a package of plain gelatine That's why tea and coffee make so many people nervous, dyspeptic and rheumatic. The poison is known as CAF FEIN. Tea contains 6 per cent, and coffee 2 per cent, of this poison, of which Thi erains will kill a cat. If you have sick headache or Indiges tion, stop tea and coffee at once. It's no trouble at all when you drink CARAMEL CEREAL, the Battle Creek Sanitarium scientific substitute for coffee. Has a fine aroma, a pleasant flavor. Made from pure cereals. No molasses or cheap sugar factory refuse which many so called cereal beverages contain. The genuine bears a picture of the world famous Battle Creek Sanitarium, Battle Creek, Mich.

This can be served with boiled custard or fresh fruit. The latter can be molded with the jelly. LEMON IN SALAD DRESSING. This acid is much to be preferred in making either the plain French dress ing of oil and acid or the mayonnaise, except when only the green salad leaves are used, then tarragon vinegar gives that peculiar and delicate soupcon that makes it so pleasing. This vine gar, as we have already stated, can be made at home if one desires to econo mize. Lemon juice Is more certain in its results, in mixing with the oil, than the vinegars, as the latter frequently contains considerable water. LEMON BUTTER SAUCE. Put a large tablespoonful of corn starch, two heaping tablespoonf ula of granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, the grated rind of a lemon and the juice, an ounce of butter and the yolks of two eggs in a saucepan and beat them to gether until smooth and light; then add quickly a pint of boiling water; and cook until it begins to thicken. LITTLE LEMON PUDDINGS. Put a cup of fine, dry bread crumbs In a bowl, cover with a "pint of milk and soak until crumbs are soft. Beat to gether until light the yolks of two egss, two level tablespoonfuls of butter and a half-cup of sugar; add the grated rind and iuice of a small lemon, mix and then add the soaked crumbs, turn this mixture into small buttered cups; set the cups in a shallow pan of water; place in a moderately hot oven and bake until the custards are set, no long er, about 20 minutes. These may be served hot or cold with fruit sauce. Inquries Answered. (No attention paid to inquiries not giving name and address of writer, plainly written.) Dr. W. H.
