Il nooel NJ ethod for taking up and
putting off passengers without the
stopping of trains, is proposed by M .
lIarenz, Of Paris, and railway of that
section Is preparing to put the proposi.
tion to practical test. a waiting car
is provided at every station into which
passengers gather before the arrival of
the train. AS the train passes the
station the rear car. which contains
only passengers for such station, is cut
loose and side-tracked, while the wait
ing car at the depot is gathered up by
a simple deyice and is coupled on, to
act as rear coach of the train to the
next station, where the same cutting
off and grabbing up process takes
place-the motion of the train being
but slightly checked at each point.

One ofthe recent German Inventions
consists of new kind of cloth, which
fs composed principally or entirely of
sponge. In its manufacture the spongcs
are first thoroughly beaten with a
heavy hammer, in order to crush all
the mineral and vegetable Impurities,
so that they can be easily washed ont !;
they are then dried and pared with a
sharp knife. the pairing being sewed
together. The fabric which is thus
obtained is described as being free
from all the danger which sometimes
arises from the absorption of poisonous
dyos into the system; it absorbs with
out checking the perspiration, so as to
diminish the danger of getting cold it
is conductor, and therefore helps to
maintain uniform surface temDera-
ture; 1t can be more readily cieansed
than ordinary WOODEN garments; It's
1ieXibillty decreases the liability of
chatting; and the ease with which it
can be employed In shoes, stockings,
drawers, undershlrts and other articles
of clothing, will, 1t thought, render
the new material especially useful rs a
protection against rheumatic and pull
monary attacks.

How TO Drop Money at Church.

we arc frequently asked regarding

and after carefully considering the

rules: First If you feel particularly

stow, you must with Il quick, ncrvou.
motion, let your mite fall so that it
81 all escape observation; second, #
you have quarter Or any othor silver
coin of considerable size to give, you
may hold 1t In PLAIN sight between
your thumb and foreilngcr, and when
you deposit 1t ycu ust let it drop from
comparatively lofty elevation so that
1t may mako musical glngle when it
reaches It's destin alton; thirdly, if you
contemplate Offering bill, you must
not take your money out of your vest
pocket until the happy time comes
when your neighbors can best SEQ your
unparalleled generosity. The moment
the collector appears at the pew-door
Is the one when you must tumble for
your money, and when having meth
odically un1olded the bill, and put on
your eyeglasses toascertain It's denom-
nation, you may slowly place it in the
top of the box. These three rules, VIC
believe, Will be sufficient for all ordin-

CORN AND CORN BREAD.-it the in
habltants of North America were each
TO save three cents u day in their house
Keeping the total saying would amount
10 the vast sum of over 700 millions of
dollars In the year. This enormous
sum may be saved by very moderate
economy In Household affairs. In the
single item of food it may be saved
over and over again in cooking or in
using cheaper food. The cheapest
food In the world is Indian corn; and
this valuable grain Is too much neg
lected in the household, because few
housekeepers know how to prepare it
acccptably. But it may be used whole,
partly broken, or ground, in great
variety Of shapes and manners, and If
one were to be reduced to q single ar
ticle Of food by any chance, the III )st
useful one would doubtless be Indian
corn. providing eggs and. milk and
sugar and a little spice could be thrown
In for trimmings. AS matter OF cost
1t might be mentioned that the usual
difference in cost is greatly in favor of
corn as compared with other kinds Of
food. Wheat Is usually 21% times as
dear as corn; potatoes four times as
dear, considering that three fourths of
them are water; and corn is a better
food for the winter than either
wheat or potatoes because it is much
richer in oil or fat. Why then don't
people eat more corn Simply be-
cause of ignorance OF its value or o.
tho best methods of cooking it.

ways to make cranberry pie; some
make 1t open like custard or pumpkin
pie. This is good, but not so good as
to cover like an apple pic. Do not
stew the berries, as some do before

equal quantity of white sugar will
like sweet pie should have more
sugar, also moro berries If desired.

water.
