UNIQUE ENGINEERING.
Tfco “Loop” Tfhn;lu ni 1’mw on fhc Soulh-
orn Pnciflc.
The engineenu" difficulties on the
Bouthorn Pacific railroad were all en
countered in California, but tlieso made
up in difficulty and in costliness what
they lacked in number. The two great
exploits of engineering are furnished by
the “loop” in the Telmchcpi pass, in
Kem county, and the San Fernando
tunnel, in Los Angeles county. The
former is regarded by experts as an engi
neering feat second to none accomplished
by the Central Pacific in the Sierras.
Caliente, in Kem county, is tho nearest
station to the pass. The first mile and a
half out of Caliente is accomplished by
laying down eight miles of track. Tho
road runs for twenty miles through one
of the wildest bits of mountain country
in tho West. Tho face of the country is
broken up by buttes or mountain knolls,
through which flows the sinuous Telia-
chepi creek. So sudden is the rise in ele
vation that the plan was to secure extra
distance in order to overcome tho steep
grado. This was accomplished by a
most singular method of detour, and by
tho looi) which forces tho railroad to de
scribe a circle, return to tho place where
it started, and pass directly over
the tunnel which it entered when
it began to detour. The olo-
vation to be overcome was 205 feet. By
circling among tho buttes a distance of
18,000 feet was consumed, which repre
sented an ndvanee in n direct lino of
only 4,000 foot. The actual “ loop ”
contains only 3,705 feet. One is twisted
about to a circle, winding around tho
base of one of the buttes, and when ho
returns to tho start ing point ho may look
down a distance of seventy-seven and a
half feet upon the track below, which
enters tho tunnel. Tho curvature and
grades here are equal to 11(5 foot per
mile.
Tho passage to tho summit of the
pass, a whole distanco of twenty miles,
is mado through a series of thirteen
tunnels carved in the solid granite. Tho
first tunnel, as has been mentioned, is
tho pathway to tho loop. They range
in length from n few yards to 1,100 feet,
and represent an enormous amount of
work. Looking down tho valloy from
tho second tunnel tho line of vision is
crossed live timos by tho track, which
seems in somo places to movo backward,
and if trains are moving on tho track
tho illusion is perfect. Once tho track
crossed tho valloy, and this involved the
building of a long and very high bridge.
Ths loop is justly regarded as ono of the
greatest curiosities on tho road, second
to none of the natural wonders. It is
believed to bo uniquo in tho history of
railroad building throughout tho world
—at least such is tho testimony of many
famous foreign engineers who have in
spected tho work. Homo idea of the
time and labor and expense involved in
the work may be gathered from tho fact
that not less than 5,000 Chiueso wove
employod at ono time in tho pass, and
tho forco was frequently increased be
yond this number.—California Letter.
Phraiei Used in Wall Street.
Boar market—When tho market is
heavy and fulling, and lower prices are
expected in oonsoquence of tho ofibrin
of the “boars.”
Bear tho market—i. o., oporato for a
decline. A boar is naturally “ short” of
stocks, and expecting to profit by a de
cline.
Borrowing and loaning stocks—When
a party has sold stock short and has not
bought it in by the time delivery must
bo made, he “borrows” tho stock for
the purposo of making a delivery, pay
ing tho owner tho market price at tho
time, and agreeing to return it at the
same price on demand or at a fixed time,
tho lender of tho stock paying the bor
rower an agreed rate of interest on the
money,or tho borrower paying tho lender
an agreed premium for tho use of the
stock, as tho caso may be.
Cover, to “cover olio’s shorts"—Where
Btock has been sold short and the seller
buys it in to realize his profit, or to pro
tect liimsolf from loss, or to make his
delivery. This is “covering short
sales.”
A call—The privilege obtained for a
consideration of calling for a certain
number of shares of stock, at a given
price, within a time named.
Carrying stock—Holding stock by a
broker for his customers on a margin.
Clique—A combination of operators
formed for the purposo of artificially in
fluonoing the market by their combined
operations.
Comers—When the market is over
Bold the shorts, if compelled to deliver
sometimes find themselves in a “ cor
ner.”
Curbstone brokers—Men who are not
members of any regular organization
and do business on the sidewalk.
Flyer—Is a small side operation not
employing one’s whole capital or not in
the line of his ordinary operations,
Lamb—A very green “ outsider” who
essays stock speculation.
Limited—order—An order to buy and
Bell within a certain fixed price, above or
below which the party giving the ordor
does not wish to go.
Margins—Where one buyer sells for
speculation, and deposits with his brokor
a percentage of value to enable the latter
to “carry” the stock and protect him
against loss from fluctuations in value.
Milking the street—The act of cliques
or great operators who hold certain
stocks so well in hand that they cause
any fluctuations they please. By al
ternately lifting and depressing prices
thty “ milk ” the small operators and
the outside public.
Put—To buy a “put” is to obtain the
tight for a consideration to deliver a
stock at a certain agreed price within a
given number of days.
Stop order—An order to sell out a
Btock in case it should decline to a cer
tain price, or to buy in short stock in
caso it should advance to a certain price.
A means adopted by a party “long” or
“short” of n stock to limit his loss to a
certain figure.
Turning stocks consists in buying for
cash or regular way, soiling a like
amount of the same stock at the same
time “ on option,” thereby making six
per cent, interest and any difference that
may exist at tho time between the mar
ket price of the stock for cash and on
option, or selling for cash and buying on
option, when the stock is hard to carry
and the holder, hoping for a rise, does
not want to “got out” of it.
Twist on the shorts—A clique phmso
used where tho shorts havo oversold
heavily and tho market has been sud
denly advanced, compelling them to set
tle at ruinous rates, or when stocks aro
withdrawn from tho loan market, and
made difficult to borrow except, at a largo
premium for their uso.
Washing is where one broker arranges
with another to buy a certain stock when
he offers it for sale. Tho bargain is fic
titious and the effect, when not detected,
is to keep it quoted and afford a basis
for bona fide sales. It is not counte
nanced by the rules of the exchange,
and if discovered renders members on.

A Funny Wedding Incident.
Dr. .Tool Hawos was for a very long
poriod the able, popular and successful
pastor of tho First Congregational
church in Hartford, Conn. For many
years boforo ho resigned his pastorato,
he was obliged, on account of his feo-
blonoss, to have a helper. During this
period a very protty young lady from a
country villago became a member of his
family while she wns attending school
in tho city. But whon she was about
leaving for her home, tho doctor said to
her in a playful mood: “ Now, Miss
0., whon you got married, I want you
to send for mo to perform tho oore-
mony.” "1 certainly will," she re
plied. Only a very few years had passed
before that happiost of all lifo’s ovonts
to tho young Indy was approaching, and
tho promise sho had made to the good
dootor was remomberod, and ho was
duly notified and urgontly requested to
respond to her wislios to bo present and
do tho splicing.
But tlieso fow years that had passed
had wrought quite a change in the
physical and moutal condition of lior
dear old clerical friend. He had become
quite dull, somnolent and oblivious.
Nevertheless ho gladly responded to
tho call, and was on hand to a<d in con
summating tho happiness of his fair
friend. The nuptials wore celobrated
in the large village ehuroh, which was
packed to its utmost capacity to wit
ness tho bridal cortoge and tho dopnr-
turo from tho villago of its quoon of
beauty and the light of ovory social
gathering.
Tho ceremonies proceeded with a
groat deal of propriety and gravity until
tho timo came for tho closing prayer,
when tho old doctor had become some
what woariod and sloopy and oblivious.
And before ho had proccodod far in his
invocation, ho bogan to pray for the
mourners—saying: “Oh, Lord, wo
boseoch Thee to comfort this stricken
family, these bereaved parents, those
deeply alllictod brothors and sisters,
and all who are rnoro or loss remotely
connected with the deceased.” While
proceeding in this strain a friendly
hand touched his shoulder, whon he
oponod his eyes and becamo conscious
that he was officiating at a weddiug
and not at a funeral, lie very ab ruptly
switohod oil' on to anothor mo re appro
priate lino of dovotional uttorauces.
Take Care ot tho Matches.
In nothing about the household does
the injunction to have “ a place for
everything ” require more strict enforce
ment than in tho care of matches. What
are known as “parlor matches” light
more readily, and aro as much more dan
gerous than the common matches as they
are more convenient. The general stock
should be kept in a tin box, which is not
to bo opened or taken from, except by the
master or mistress of tho house. For each
room where matchos are used thcro should
bo a metal match-safe of some kind,
and tho matches are to be kept in that
and nowhere else. It should be regarded
as a serious ofl'onso for a match to bo
anywhere or for over so short a time
found “lying around loose.” In tho
kitchen and tho bedroom, or wherever
else matches are in frequent uso, it is
better to havo tho match-safe fixed and
always in the same place, so that it can
be foundj if need bo in tho dark. In
taking matchos from tho larger box to re
plenish tho safes, let that always be done
by ono person, and it will pay for that per
son to look over the matches at the time,
throwing away all broken ones, and
where, as is often the case, two or more
are stuck together by the explosive mix
ture these should be earofull y broken
apart, and unless two good matches are
the result, rather than to put into the
safe one with too little and the other
with a ragged excess of the mixture,
throw both away. Also throw into the
fire those matches that have two or
three times as much of the mixture on
tho ends as they should have. These
in lighting often oxplodo and scat
ter burning particles in a dan
gerous manner. If in lighting a
match, day or night, it breaks or the ex
plosive end comes off without lighting,
do nothing else until that end is found,
and put into the fire _ or where it can do
no harm. In fact, treat matches, every
match—as if it were—as it really is, a
firearm, capable of dangerous mischief
to person and property. Teach tho chil
dren to carefully observe the same cau
tion. —A gricult urist.
A.
WOMAN’S COLUMN.
(Simplicity in Drcsa.
Our young girls in America do not
seem to havo tho sense of the beauty of
simplicity in dross. No young girl looks
as young or as lovely in heavy velvets
and loaded trimmings as in simple mus
lins and soft, clinging materials. They
detract from their own fresh channs by
calling attention to their adornment. I
should bo inclined to say that no jewels,
unless a single row of pearls nbout the
throat, no lneo but simple Valenciennes,
should be worn by any girl younger than
twenty-one. A dress perfectly fresh,
light in color (where the complexion
permits), beautifully cut and almost en
tirely untrimmed, ennnot be improved-
upon for a young girl. It is the sweet
rounded forms, tho dewy bloom of the
cheek, the clear young eyes, the soft, ten
der lips that we want to sec. Where
silks nro worn they should not bo of
heavy quality, but soft. Our young girls
wear dresses li kc dowagers. It is a futile
waste of money; no beauty is attained.
The short skirt deserves to bo com
mended for the street, but in tho house
it has neither beauty nor elegance. Even
to shorten a long skirt in front for the
better display of a pretty foot is a great
mistake. It is neither becoming to the
foot nor tho figure. It gives an inten
tional look of display, which is unre
fined ; and surely tho dress that leaves
something to the imagination is more
coquettish and more dignified.
Tho scarf for n married woman is a
fashion that should nover die. To wear
it well is a proof of grace, and it im
parts an clogance, especially to a tall
woman, that is very desirable. In tho
old portraits by Sir Joshua lloynoldsand
Gainsborough, by Stewart and Copley,
tho scarf has been very elegautly used
—tho long straight scarf drawn tightly
across the small of tho back, pnssed over
tho elbows, and dropping down in front
as low as tho knee or lower. Nowadays
ono sees them occasionally worn by
Indies who have relatives in tho East,
who send them scarfs of crape or cam-
el’s-hair; and occasionally tho French
approach tho scarf in tho stylo of their
light outer wraps for spring or autumn.
I think that it would require only half a
dozen ladies, whoso roimtntion for good
dress is high, to persistently adopt tho
scarf, for othors to recognize its graco
and elegance.
Tho wearing of jewels is not often well
understood. Ono does not boo many
handsome jewels worn^in America, with
tho exception of diamonds. It is said
that tho value of tho diamond fluctuates
less than that of any other precious
stone, and that they therefore recom
mend themselves to tho practical moscu-
lino mind as an investment, and that
this is tho reason our women wear dia- -
monds so exclusively. This is to bo re-
grettod, as tho dinmond, from its exces
sive brilliancy and hardness of light, is
not becoming to many womon. To tho
bluo-oyed tho sapphire, or even tho in
expensive turquoise, is ofton far more
harmonious and decorative. A little
palo woman in flashing diamonds
is absurd; tho silont pearl, the
dull, soft turquoise, tho evasive,
mysterious opal, oven tho little moon
stone, a green chalcedony, the topaz, an
amethyst with a velvet surface for finish,
oven amber, or jmlo tea-colorod coral—
all these ns ornnmonts aro becoming to
niuoty-niuo womon whore tho diamond
is becoming to tho ono-hundredth. Let
us emancipate ourselves from imagining
a thing beautiful because it is costly, or
beautiful as an ornament because it is
bonutiful in itself, or ornamental in tho
dross of ono person becauso it is so in
the dress of another.
Wo know onco a charming little lady
who, being in very moderate circum
stances, dressed in such simple mate
rials ns sho could easily procure—in
winter often in soft gray w’oolens, in
summer in light-colored muslins, with
a white scarf, a straw bonnet, with the
plainest palo ribbon neatly tying it
down. Her complexion was like a wild
rose, and with her soft fair liair and bluo
oyos, her figuro delicate even to the
point of fragility, no dress could havo
been more coquettish and exquisitely
appropriate. Later lior husband came
into a fortune. Sho eagerly adopted
heavy velvets, beneath whoso weight sho
seemed to totter, diamonds of great size
and brilliancy. They mado her at onco
a plain woman; and as her freshness be
gan to fade we wondored how wo could
ever have thought her exquisitely pretty;
and it seemed to us that with soft lace
and the tender dullness of pearls, with
crapes of gray or white as material ,for
her gowns, oven faded she would havo
b.een charming.—Miss M. It. Oakey, in
Harper's Magazine.
Fashion Fancies.
The Montpensier hat is a favorite shape
this spring.
Watered silks are not as popular in
America as in Paris.
Neapolitan braids will be imported in
small numbers this year.
A decided change in grenadines will
be mado the coming season.
Cat’s-eye brooches set with diamonds
being rare continue in high favor.
Openwork straw bonnets, with
linings, will bo worn this summer.
New batistes are exceedingly soft
and adorned with Japanese figures.
Figured and plain goods arc to be
combined in the thin summer gowms of
this year.
Insect jewolry is just at tho momenta
little in advance of the quadruped style
in popularity.
The summer satteens have dark
grounds, and, rather largo figures in two
or tlireo colors.
Kerchiefs of silk muslin are preferred
to the large batiste collar's by all women
except tho very young.
Little soft loose rings of hair falling

The Steel Horse.
Persons who ride or drive above
Fifty-ninth street cannot fail to note
that within a,(year there has been a
sudden and marked increase in tho
number of bicycles oti tho road, and
residents on any well-paved road in the
same part of tho city can testify that
“ the steel horse,” as tho bicycle has
come to bo called in England, is ofton
on tho road as early in tho morning ns
horses less tough of fiber. The popu
larity which bicycling has suddenly
reached in New York is as gratifying to
many who never bostrodo tho ever-sad
dled couisor as to the most earnest
devotees of the new sport, for anything
that will ofFor tho young men of our
city n new inducement to spend part of
their timo at vigorous exorcise out of
doors is of general benefit to the com
munity. Tho steol horso has its limita
tions; not by these, but by its possibil
ities, it should be judged. It is shapely,
swift and safe. It never throws its
rider, although tho rider sometimes
throws the horso. It never stumbles
bnlks, bucks or kick-; never takes tho
bit in its teeth and attempts to run
away; it has not tho vice, so dear to all
other horses, of casting a shoe at ex
actly tho wrong time, and it can make
its best timo and distanco without being
blown or running the risk of founder
ing. It can bo turned loose anywhere
immediately after uso. No special
stalls nor any disagreeable and expen
sive retinue of stable-boys are neces
sary to its safe-keeping, and tho owner
is nover likely to bo greeted in the
morning with tho information that his
courser lias died during tho night,
Such nn array of special merits should
be enough to commend anything to the
favorublo notice of spirited young men.
Even mon who aro not young could
make their days cheerier and gain
a promise of additional days in which
to be cheory, by making frequent use of
the steel horse.—New York Herald.
“ Diamond Cut Diamond.”
Crossing tho Rocky mountains once,
says a correspondent, I saw an amusing
illustration of the hardness of corundum.
A traveling peddler undertook in tho cars
to sell a largo "diamond” ring to a
miner who had made his pile. “ Humph,”
said tho miner, after critically examining
tho ring, "they’ve got common stone up
in tho diggings where I’vo been that’ll
cut that diamond all to pieces 1” “If
you’ll find a piece of stone that will cut
that dinmond I’ll give it to you,” re
plied tho peddler. “All right,” said tho
miner, “if I can’t cut that ‘diamond’
with a stone I’ll buy it of you.” There
upon the minor took the ring in his
hand and pulled from his vest pocket a
small piece of brown-looking stone,
similar to a bit of dark free-stone, except
that the grain was very fine, and with
this ho proceeded coolly to cut and
scratch that "diamond” with several
ugLy-looking gashes. A group of pas
sengers that had gathered about the
miner were amazed, but while they
snickered the peddler with his “diamond”
withdrew discomfited, “That little
piece of brown stone,” explained the
miner, “is a piece of corundum that I
got in the Rocky mountains, and it’s the
best diamond tester in tho world. It
won't scar a gonuino diamond, but it
will everlastingly cut up a pieco of glass
or quartz.”
A Wonderful Discovery.
An Artiolo llull Will Make tlio llnld anil
Uray Rejoice.
Many of tho hair dressings of tho day
arc excellent, but the great mass of the
stull's sold for promoting tho growth and
bringing back the original color, arc
more hnnibugs, while not a few aro per
nicious in their effects upon tho scalp
and hair. The falling out of tho hair,
tho accumulations of dandruff, and the
premature change in color aro all evi
dences of a diseased condition of the
scalp and tho glands which nourish tho
lmir. To arrest these causes the article
used must possess medical as well as
chemical virtues, and tho cliango must
begin under the scalp to be of permanent
and lasting benefit. Petroleum oil is
tho article which is mado to work such
extraordinary results; but it is after the
best refined article has been chemically
treated, and completely deodorized, that
it is in proper condition for the toilet
and receives the name of Carboline. It
was in far-off Russia that the effects of
petroleum upon tho hair were first ob
served; a government officer having
noticed that a partially bald-headed ser
vant of bis, when trimming the lamps,
had a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared
hands in his scanty locks, and the result
was, in a few months, a much finer head
of black, glossy hair than ho ever had
before. The oil was tried on horses and
cattle that had lost their hair from the
cattle plague, and the results were mar
velous. The manes and tails of horses,
which had fallen out, were completely
restored in a fow weeks. These experi
ments were heralded to tlie world,
but no one in civilized society could
tolerate the use of refined petroleum
as a dressing for the hair. But the
skill of one of our chemists has
overcome the difficulty, and he has
succeeded _ in perfecting Carholine,
rendering it ns dainty as the famous eau
do cologne. Experiments on the human
hair and skin wero attended with the
most astonishing results. A few appli
cations, where the hair was thin and fall
ing, gavo remarkable tone and vigor to
the scalp and tho hair. Every particle
of dandruff disappears on the fii'st or sec
ond dressing, all cutaneous disease of the
skin an| scalp are rapidly and perman
ently healed, and the liquid seems to
penetrate to the roots of tho hair at once.
It is well known that the most beauti
ful colors are made from petroleum, and
by some mysterious operation of nature
the use of this article gradually imparts
a beautiful light brown color to the hair,
which by continued use deepens to black.
The color remains permanent, and the
change is so gradual that tho most in
timate friends can scarcely detect its pro
gress. In a word, it is tho most wonder
ful discovery of the age, and well
calculated to make the prematurely bald
and gray rejoice. Carboline is put up
in a neat and attractive manner and sold
by all dealers in drugs and medicines.
