But no brakes are safe ln the hands of an In experienced man, and logging compa nies cannot get first-class engineers to race tne danger and rough living on unskilled wages, as the most of tnem ao. as on the day or this wreck (that at Scappoose), it rained. Before this the weather was dry, and the brakes, adjusted for a good rail, but on a rainr day. which caused a sIId nery rail, his brakes were too tight, and an experienced man would have known better than to have climbed this steen e-ra.de without adlustlna bis brakes to suit the weather and rail and then his emrine would not sIId back down the hill, or, ln other words. when tne Draices were applied they would not iock tne wneeis ana mane a sled out of the engine,) for when the wheels are locked and .eliding It not only ruins the wheels, but the engine runs away.

Madame Helena Modjeaka, the cele brated actress who has been living In retirement for several years, was born ln Cracow, Poland, October 12, 1144. Though Polish by birth It mav be said that her entire hlstrlonlo career has been Identified with America. In 1876, when she was tl years old. she abandoned tha amoition or malting a great reputation for herself ln her native land and, with her eecond husband.

Her tour with Booth In im-9 Is, memorable. The remarkable testimonial given her ln New Tork two years ago marked her retirement from tne Now it was not a particularly bril liant thing to say, and It certainly cannot be thought to be strikingly original, not witty, nor wise. It has been generally eonoeded that the women of the exclusive social cir cles either In America or elsewhero lead the most Idle and vapid of llvs. Their whole duty ie compassed In eclipsing their acquaintances, ln dis playing their husbands' wealth and in adding to his prestige. When that is accomplished, their duty ceases. Many authors ln many lands have taken this well-known fact for a theme and bave written books about It Ber nard shaw seee It and writes of it In the United Kingdom: Maarten Maarten takes a slam at the contentedly snob bish set of The Hague and Berlin; and our American authors are never so happy as when exhibiting the follies of the Idle rich to the rest of us. Pat terson and Sinclair and London have all recently taken a hand at the game. But the surprising thing is that hav ing said a perfect)- trite and self-evident thing, Miss Barrymore should be so eager to assure us that she didn't and should "feel terribly" about 1C fe.ie can fortunately choose her friends where she pleases, and as s woman with brains and ambitions, she should not mind if some idly rich person wishes to apply the sarcastlo utter ance. And then think how sorry a plight It puts the poor newspaper woman in who obtained the interview. When shu seen her "notable and had succeeded ln getting her to say something print able, and something moreover whloh had good news value, and when she was feeling pretty well satisfied with herself, to be called the unlimited and conscience-less prevaricator that Miss Barrymore'a contradiction of the In terview makes her, is mighty hard on the poor little newspaper woman. And the moral Is that lf Miss Barry- and since It bad gone It might as well have stood. K It R A New Egg Recipe.
