PROGRESS Of Electric RAILWAYS.

Tho flrst steam railway for passenger
travel is said TO have been built and
opened for travel in 1925, but the Liver.
pool and Manchester road, opened in
1880, is generally accepted rs the road
from which to date the history of rail-
road enterprises. 1t took at least five
years after the first road wes built to get
notable increase of mileage, but to-day
there are over 100, miles of railroad
in the United States. II we could Judge
anything of the prospects of electric
railways by comparison of their history
with that of the now well-established
steam railroads, their success would be
well assured. 1t is only about two years
since Edison's experimental electric rail-
way was built at Menlo Park, about the
same time that Slemens was experiment.
ing with similar line in Berlin, and the
first electric railway commercially used
was built by Slemens, near the same city,
only about one year ago, and yet there
are now about 100 miles of such roads
in working order, authorized or in
course of construction. There are short
roads in use in Germany, Holland and
Ireland, and roads are projected or in
course of construction in Austria, En-
gland, Italy, TIE United States and
Wales. The line in Wales is the largest
enterprise of the kind, and one of the
most interesting because it is proposed
to run the dynamo-electric machines by
water power. The road is to be nearly
forty miles in length. 1t appears, there
fore. that electric railways are getting
along rather faster than steam roads
did during their infancy, and it is not
impossible that, at the end of another
fifty years, electric roads may be count
ing up their mileage by tens of thousands
Of miles. s.-Philddelphia Ledger.

Traits Of the People Of Newfoundland,

The people of Newfoundland may be
separated into three divisions--the we'll
:o-do residents of st. Johns, the fishing
,ar northwest coast. Many OF the peo-
lated from the seal and cod trade. They
are cultivated people, of good manners,
and hospitaole to point almost oner-
ous to the recipient OF their kindly cour-
tesies. Their leading social amusement
is card-playing, in which the seductive
draw-poker takes the lead of other
games. Even the best ladies play
oker, with stakes adapted to the femi-
nine standard. The prevailing type of
nationality is English or Irish, modified
by insular surroundings. Three-quar-
ters, at least, of the population of 1S0,-
900 in the whole island is made up of
the poor fishermen. They are hardy,
rough race, familiar with every phase
of ocean life, ignorant, narrow and in
sular, but kindly disposed. Some of
their linguistic oddities. at the remoter
fishing stations particularly, are worth
noting. Like the Southern negro, who
so often uses him for ''it," so these
islanders twist the word "he" into alb
surd combinations. "Will the trout be
cooked soenp" was asked the waiter
grl at one of the coast inns day or
two ago. "May be he will be-" was
he reply. "Thc wagon has lost he's
Wheels" or al don't know where the
spade he is" illustrate further these
peculiarities. The name of the island
is almost universally pronounced
newfoundland, with strong accent
on the final syllable. The ma
rine temperament of the people
crops out in the term "skipper," +"
always employed by subordinate in
addressing a superior, or by a street
boy accosting a gentleman. North.
ward is here "down" in direction, the
phrase "Down North" corresponding
pretty closely to the down East u Of
our Middle and Western States. Fol-
the Newfoundlanders phrase "UI
South" we have no equivalent, except
ing the "up to South End" of Boston.
There is also strange broadening o.
vowels in colloquial speech. Thus
ridge becomes in Newfoundlandest
"rudge." and fire fur" Many o
them would say, "The forest has beer

Sugar Authorizations.

The subject of the adulteration Of
sugar has recently been discussed by the
daily papers, by clubs, commissions,
etc., etc. The "make-weights" in sugar
are readily detected in the household.
The sample has only to be stirred up
with water, when the clay, chalk, terra
alba, gypsum, ETC., will remain undis-
solved, rendering us able, perhaps, to
return the sugar to the grocer with the
statement that ait contains not quite
enough sand for building purposes, but
too much for household use" The only
coloring matters which are used in
sugars are employed to produce blue
white. For this purpose indigo, Prus-
sian blue and ultramarine are used.
They are of necessity employed in such
small quantities that they are practically
uninjupious. Thisis done by the refiner.
just at this time the so-called "new pro-
cess sugars" are exciting considerable
attention. They are usually low grades
of cane sugar which are raised to higher
grades, judged by their color, by the
admixture of glucose, sometimes called
grape or starch sugar. When properly
prepared, it is still debatable question
whether this admixture of glucose is in
furious. 1t is claimed by some that il
induces certain diseases, while others oi
equal repute say that it is harmless
When improperly and carelessly made il
may contain acids and other poisons
There are no means of detecting the ad
mixture of grape sugar in samples O
brown, yellow or crushed white sugar
with which it is usually mixed-withou

Keeping stlll in Church.

the mother of seven small children, all
OF whom are exceptionally bright. One
of these, a four year old boy, showed
great reluctance to attend church and
was constantly in disgrace when there.
His mother tried every means to induce
him to sit still in vain, until at last the
little fellow said:
Mamma, there's just one way you
can keep me still in church"
What is that" asked his mamma,
eagerly.
