The particulars in which the average
American boy of to-day is inferior to
the average boy of a quarter of Gems
tury ago are mainly these /: The lad
of the present has morbid dislike
for authority unless it is to be exer-
cised by himself ; he heartily despises
discipline unless it is to enforce 1t
upon his superiors he is living
illustration of the fact that self-help

tive industry can safely be left to his

faith in the sufficiency of fine clothing

teaches the one doctrine that the earth
and the fatness thereof were made for

DROPS OF WISDOM.

Troubles come in a cluster.
True courage Is cool and calm.
Conquer unreasonable prejudice.
Be not judge between true friends.
Good nature oyercomes many
things.
True courage lies most in being
honest.
The greatest severity lies in gentle.
ness.
In times of adversely virtue will
show itself.
We ask advice but we mean appro
baton.
Creditors have better memories than
debtors.
Smiles are smiles only and the heart
pulls the wire.
Our sweetest songs are those which
tell the saddest thought.
Never morning wore to evening but
some heart did break.
Adversely borrows It's sharpest sting
from our impatience.
Love is a canvas furnished by
nature and embroidered by imagina-
ton.
None but the faint-hearted cease to
hope. Hope is one of our guardian
angels, given to lead US higher up,
ahd brighten every step as we climb
the journey of life. Burdens lose their
weight, sorrows their sting, and the
way is plain when we allow hope to
be our guiding star.
Many an opportunity is lost, and
golden ones, because the spirit lacked
the "dare" to certain point. Few
honors, purposes or fortunes are gain
ed unless risk is run and ones dares
to make the venture. 1t needs the
spirit OF daring in young and old, to
always keep in the straight and mar
row path.

A NEW ELEVATED ROAD.
EXHIBITIONS OF WORKING MODELS n

EXHIBITIONS OF WORKING MODELS OF
AsINaLE RAILWAY,
A remarkably interesting exhibition
OF novel and ingenious elevated
railroad was given last night by work.
ing models and drawings, in parlor a
OF the Continental Hotel, The inven,
tor was J. V. Meigs, of Massachusetts,
VINO was present in person to explain
the workings of his plans. He ap-
pears to have practically overcome the
principal objections to elevated rail.
roads in complete safety for freight
ana passengers, while travelling at a
nigh rate of speed, the imposslbiiity OF
the cars leaving the track, the non
obstruction of light to d Tellings OF
business houses on the line of the road,
and the non-obstruction of street
travel. To this can be added the
simple method by which oil or cinders
are prevented from dropping into the
street.
The system consists briefly, of a
single track, with engine and cars SO
arranged that the pressure exerted is
directly upon the centre of the rail,
and there is no possibility of lateral
sway, and consequently no chance,
whatever the speed of the train leaving
the track. This is accomplished by
two methods. The trucks of the en-
gine and the cars straddle the rail and
set of two hanged wheels on each side
run on an angle of forty five degrees
against the edge of lower track or
way. On each side of the main rail is
a wheel at right angles with the rail,
which act. as rolling braces, and make
an equal pressure on the wheels run
ming on the inclined axis.
This In itself is an absolute guarantee
against detailment, as the cars and
track are SO much part and parcel of
each other that ii is impossible to lift the
trucks from the track, unless all the
wheels are removed. In the engine the
principle is similar. The vertical wheels
are the drivers and are geared close to
the rail as in the cars, and are kept In
their position by hydraulic pressure, the
force OF which can be increased or di-
minished at the will of the engineer.
This is something Of revolution In me-
chanlcs, as the adhesive power is not de-
pendent upon the weight of the rolling
stock at all, and TO climb heavy grade
ii is only necessary to increase the ad-
heslve power by squeezing the wheels
closer TO the rail.
There are no end platforms, as in o.
dinary cars. AT the side of every seat,
on each side of the cars, are doors, which
are opened by an ingenious automatic
arrangement by the brakesman, and the
cars are emptied almost instsntaneously
Every axle, both In locomotive and
cars, is provided with closed oil boxes,
and under all is platform, which pre-.
vents any kind of dnppings from reach.
ing the street.
The roadway is supported by iron
girders, set in beds Of concrete, Street
travel is not bampered, and the cost OF
construction is trlfle less than one-hall
Of double track railway. Ninety
thousand dollars per mile is placed as
the maximum cost of construction,
against $350,000 for double track, with

Bitter Milk.

Bitter milk is matter of frequent
occurrence every fall and winter, OF
soon after the cows are off from graz.
ing. 1t is caused, first, by bitter herbs
in the hay-such as May weed, rag
weed, Johns wort, etc,-and also by
the use of too much overripe food,
such as straw, corn stover or late cut
hay. 1t never occurs when cows are
fed on good food, and are thriving, or
even holding their own, and are Kept
comfortably warm. 1t can be avoided,
first, by correcting the error in feed
ing and exposure and secondly, by
soalding the milk when it is first
drawn, by setting it in pans over a
kettle of boiling water till the skin
which forms on its top is well wrin-
killed., and then setting it away to cool
for the cream to rise. This treatment
will drive out the cause of the bitter
flavor, and improve the butter and
make it easy to churn.
