she do but bang right into train at a
station, and that with all steam shut off
and the bar thrown over! Some folks
laugh at us and call it superstition, but
they never lived in an engine cab. Ask
any barber if his razor doesn't get off ;
now and then and refuse to shave until
laid aside for a rest. Ask any horse
trainer if his horse will make the same
time two mornings alike, even if the
care and feed and track are the same.
Running in and out of Detroit are hun
dreds of locomotives, all built on the
same plan, and yet no two are handled
just alike. Out of twenty built in the
same shop, by the same gang of men,
no two will work the same. One can
be bulldozed, another must be petted,
third will be faithful, fourth treach-
erous, and each one will have her pecu-
liar traits and tricks. I'd no more take
out one of these engines without know
ing her peculiarities than you'd try TO
jump across that pit. I'd be all in q
tremble for fear she'd ditch the whole
train. No, sir. They are as near
human as machinery can be made,
and the more human you treat 'em the
better it is for both. Some can be
coaxed, some must be punished, some
need watching, and once in while you
find one which will dodge danger, keep
her time and run herself while you
dream of the curly-heads tucked up in
bed at home.-Detroit Free Press.

French COurtship.

1t is the women who marry the men
here, not the men who marry the
women. A bachelor is a possession of
value, and he will not let himself go
for centime under his worth. He
need not have fortune, but he ought to
have name or position. Names are
very plentiful in France, and positions
too. for a place under the Government,
however poorly paid, is held to give a
man a certain consideration. At thirty,
Jules, who has run his little career of
follies, begins seriously to think it time
to settle. He first comes to terms with
himself and lays down the conditions
on which he will barter away his liber-
ty, with great precision. His wife
must have so much fortune. There is
no sense of shame about it, and no con-
cealment; in fact the widest publicity
of certain kind is the very essence of
the business. AS soon as he has made
up his mind as to the dot, or marriage
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-04-03
How Big is Man

Somehow, when q mans mind be-
comes really enlarged-say, like that of
Baron Humboldt, and he is able to
place in focus more and more of the
cosmos of which he forms a part, the
things he at the outset of his life re-
CARDS as the largest get smaller and
smaller, till at last that first immense
and overwhelmingly important thing,
himself, becomes so insignificant that
1t is only through a process of mental
microscopy he can discern his little
identity among the animalcuim that
float, swim, or wriggle across the field
OF view. How big is a man, anyway?
Well, he is smaller than an elephant,
and an elephant is smaller than
mountain, and a mountain is smaller
than the world, and the world is a
mustard seed compared with the sun,
and the sun itself is a mere mote in the
dust cloud of spheres that stretches out
through the universe beyond the reach
of thought. Suppose we could make
an exact model of the earth eighty feet
in diameter. Eighty feet in diameter
would be pretty large ball as balls go
on the face of this planet. Assume,
for the sake of easy calculation, the
diameter of the earth to be exactly g.
600 miles, and let us proceed to build
our model to scale. A mountain five
miles high should represent on our
model $50, 000th of 80 feet or Cloths of

height, and an average man 1852, SO0th

such men standing shoulder to shoulder
in single straight rank would require
their general to gallop over the space
of one inch to pass them all under re-
view. With smart horse of proper

he could accomplish this distance in
about an hour. Scientific keg1s

man never gets an idea of how fast
the world moves until he gets out of his
own sphere into some other. In order
to see how great progress has been
made in teaching he must get into a
modern school-room where the teacher
has kept progress with the age of i'm
provements in the methods of impart-
ing instruction. In the Gold Hill schools
every faculty of the pupil is awakened
and sharpened. Even tables of weights
and measures in the primary classes
are taught as object lessons. They have
the scales and the weights and the
measures right there, and the scholors
see that it takes sixteen ounces to make
one pound, and four gills to make a
pint, ETC., up to the gallon. The result
Is that little children from seven to nine
years old will foot up pounds and
ounces, and even fractions of ounces.

which is surprising. The same is true
of measures, including quarts, pints.

are taught to form correct estimates of
the weights of objects. They are handed

One of the scholars then weighs the

Importance of this kind of practice in
estimating the properties of things will
become apparent one of these DAYS
when success in life may depend On
accuracies of judgment. The above is
cited only as one of many WAYS of

cy it is blown out into the great brick
well by the air-pressure in the shaft
through pipes that lie at the bottom of
the excavation, and that are built out
to follow the workmen as they extend
the shaft. Whenever it is necessary,
this mud is bailed out of the bottom of
the well to make way for more. AS the
tunnel is now it has the shape of a gi-
gantic bottle, the air-lock taking the
place of cork in the bottles neck.
The neck of the bottle is formed by the
narrow bore that was gradually wild
ened until the permanent diameter of
twenty-one feet was reached. AS the
excavators work they are closely fol-
lowed by men who line the shaft with
plates of riveted iron, and these in turn
are followed by masons who construct
the arched brickwork that forms the
tunnel. Nearly 100 feet of the perma-
nent tunnel has been completed. No
date is set for the beginning of the work
on the New York side of the river.-.N.
