Julius Kruttschmltt of San Francis co, the general manager of the South ern Pacific Railroad, recently gave out the largest single order for steel rails that the business world has ever known. A reporter, in discussing this order with Mr. Kruttschmltt, called It a "daring one." "No," said the railroad magnate, smiling, "there was nothing daring about it. Daring things are those that have In them something risky, something Insecure. For instance, you might term 'daring' the well-known tctlon of Hanks, the milkman, In the millionaire's house." "Hanks, the milkman?' 'said the re porter, puzzled. "Yes, Hanks, the milkman. He, one morning, forgot to water his milk. In the hall of his best customer be re membered this omission. A huge tub of fine, clear water stood on the floor by his side. There was no one to spy on him, and thrice, before the maid brought up the jugs, Hanks diluted his milk with a large measure filled from the tub. Then he served the young woman calmly and went on. "As he was bellowing down the next area the first customer's footman beck oned to him.. He returned, and was ushered Into the presence of the cus tomer himself, a millionaire. Hanks.' said the B-pntlnmnn 'I nra. fer hereafter to water my own milk.' "Weil, sir." said Hanks. "It's useless to deny the thing, for I suppose you were watching me while ' No.' said the nillllnnnlrn 'Nn nnn was watching you. But the fact is. Hanks, the children are taking medi cinal baths, and the tub In the hall was full of sea water.' " Cricketer Lives 98 Years. England's oldest cricketer.

Taffeta Still In Favor. Black taffotu costumes, it was said In the early spring, and it was thought by the best authorities, would not be fashionable during the summer, as they were to be bought ready-mado at so many of the large department shops. Vet there has been a succession of the most charming designs furnished for black taffeta gowns, and these have been made up in large numbers for women who know how to dress well. The skirts are trimmed with tucks or folds of the taffeta, with bands of em broidery or lace ruchlngs. The waists are tucked or pleated, and have white lace yokes and bands overlaid, with embroidery or lace. Shlrrlngs and cordings, such as were the delight of olden times, are most fashionable. Harper's Bazar. Children's Wnar. Common sense is visible in most of the modern fashions for children's wear. Small boys, in particular, profit greatly by the present styles that, are so practical and at the same time so smart and attractive in appearance. The one-piece suit .worn over knicker bockers Is made both in wash materials and In serges, in colors and iu white. The white blouse, wheu made with a sailor collar open at the front, can bo worn with nn inside piece like a yoke, and can. be worn with opeji throat, if desired. Thj leather belt, pulled well town to give the fashionable long walsted appearance, must never be forgotten; no trimming is necessary, although lace collars and cuffs or bands of bright scarlet or blue linen on the white linen or pUpio frocks are nest effective. Harper's Buzar. Individuality In Dress. It is Just this, after serving as a cov ering, that clothes are supposed to do enhance feminine charms, suys the New York Sun. There was a timo when fashion's decrees were more arbi trary than they are now. Then one general style clothed the multitude, big and little, fat and lean, long and short. Since womankind tasted of a b loud ened independence there has been a marked growth in the individuality of dress, and the end is not yet. The day has passed when n sensible woman will make a guy f herself because, for sooth, she Is expected to wear this or that. Would that womankind bad' at tained a height where sbo separately and severally dared to face the world In toilets suited to her station and pocketbook! Every temptation is of fered, in these days, for the expendi ture of money, and the sex that is notably the lover of fine raiment Is an easy and a willing victim. . , Alcretles and Ornaments. Aigrette is also in much request not only in white and black, but In alt colors and glace toues. It is used prin cipally combined with , other trim mings, such as ostrich tips, roses and rosettes of ribbon. There are also small birds to which artificial crests are adapted, sometimes of long curved feathers on' barbed at their extrem ities. For the more simple order of bats couteaux provide the trimming. Of these there Is a very large provision. Some stiff and wide, others narrow aud draping. Eagle plumes or quills artificially tinted to resemble those of the imperial bird are in much lavor; also bright colored corteaux with fancy spots and markings. Buckles and similar ornaments are to be given a rest for a while, but very handsome pins will be used to fasten the hat to the head. They, Indeed, fur nish the principal decoration of some of the sailor and tailor hats worn with morning costumes. A good deal is done with beads, particularly strings of large cut Jet beads and gray pearls, while black hats are sometimes em broidered with Jot or ornamented w ith nppllqucs.

The woman with a longing to be thought picturesque and with an eyo for color lias a hard time In these days steering her way through the many pitfalls that surround her, and In truth requires nn Immense amount of con centration of purpose not to be led astray by the picturesque fashions that In the illustrations look so much more attractive than they do on the Indi vidual. One rule should always be followed, that no style should be chosen that is markedly unbecoming. It is far bet ter to dress according to the stylo of last year, provided that style was be coming, than to run the risk of being made a perfect fright by following too closely the exaggerated fashions of tliis season. .Materials, however, furnish so much that Is attractive and desirable as to be some compensation for the mamier in which they are made up. And it is perfectly possible V modify the exag gerated cfToct of many of the more pro nounced designs.

At that time securities had fallen an average of $.14 a share from the top point of a year prcvioirs, and there was a general disposition to curtail manufacturing and com mercial opcralions because of the heavy losses.
