A New Street.Car Motor.

The value of an invention that will
enable street-cars in cities to carry their
own motive power can hardly be over
estimated. Horses are expensive. 1t
requires as many horses to supply a
iirst-elass street railroad as to supply
regiment of cavalry; and beside, horses
need driver. The underground cable
arrangement is said to work satisfactory
ly in San Francisco, but for some rea-
son or other doubts are expressed of its
successful application in Chicago and
other cities. Dummy engines have been
tried but do not give satisfaction. They
have an ammonia motor in New Or
leans, but it has not succeeded i'm intro
ducing itself in other cities. But we are
promised solution of the difficulty at
last in the principle of the watch-spring,
experiments with which in Philadelphia
are said to have been attended with
signal success. A steel spring coiled
up tight and well secured is one of the
most striking examples of conserved
force that can be imagined. 1t may be
borne safely and easily from one place
to another, and made to yield its power
by an equaliZed process ut the point
where it is wanted. OF course, the
spring for running street car must be
large, strong and well made of the best
tempered steel. The one experimental
with at Philadelphia is band 300 feet
long, six inches wide and one-quarter
inch thick, wound up by machinery to
a coil only forty inches in diameter, and
then secured. This coiled spring con-
tains all the force impaired by the steam
engine during the process of winding,
and this is said to be sufficient to drive
a car loaded with persons Il distance of
five miles. The uncoilng is graduated
by an ingenious arrangement of brakes
under control of the conductor, which
enables him to stop and start the car at
pleasure, and check prevents the car
from going at q greater rate of speed
than nine miles an hour. If the new
motor can really do all that is promised
of it we shall soon have street cars car
aging their own motive agent and thous-
ands of horses released from the most
harassing task that horse flesh is now
required to perform.-!St. Louis Repu5-

Reformed Too Much.

Caricature deals with extreme cases,
and overdoes the features of Il picture to
heighten its blemishes. A reporter of
the New York .NcWs tries his pencil in
this linc-describing the effect of trying
to abolish the pleasant little compli-
mentS, and "thank yous," and "happy-
and not-at-alls," OF So
cial intercourse and courtesy
"Last Sunday, Parson Bangle be-
came Disguised with the untruthfulncss
of mankind and preached II vigorous
sermon in dcnunciation of society false
hood. He declared that lies told Just
out of politeness were just rs wicked rs
those told with the deliberate intention
of deceiving as to the value of Il horse.
In fact, these society lies get folks into
the habit of lying, and they readily pick
up the other kind. The sermon made a
great impression. Most of the congre-
CATION resolved to reform. Coming out
Of church, Deacon Jones said to Judge
Badger, who sits in front of him
"Judge, | hope you didn't mind my
putting my feet under your pew The
Judge was about to reply
$50, certainly not but he thought
Of the sermon and answered., Il did,
though; your old boots took up all the
room, and were fearful nuisance
"Well,' said the deacon, 'the hair
oil you use smells so it nearly forced
us to leave our pew
"They glared at each other, and just
then Mrs. Badger and Miss jenkins
came along. Miss jenkins asked

$50, l thought it just love- replied
Mrs. b.. and then she thought of the
sermon, and continued, No, l didn't,
either. It's horrid thing. wouldn't
be seen with it.. And Miss jenkins got
mad and replied
j." well, if l were you, I'd not wear
dirty stockings in church, and, if l did,
I'd keep 'em out of sight
"While these honest conversations
were going on, Mrs. Ragbas had said to
her next-door neighbor, Mr.. Gallagher,
4. hope the crying of our baby last night
didn't disturb you;' and Gallagher re-
piled, No-that is-yes.' Then Mrs.
Ragbag called him wretch, and wept.
"And then the clergyman came out
and asked young Symonds how he liked
the sermon. Symonds said, 1t was u
grand ef-er-no, parson, it was nom
sense
Sir!' said the parson; as he drew
himself up Indignantly.
"The parson went home and meditat-
ed in gloomy frame OF mind for three
hours, and finally concluded that society
lying was wicked, but he wouldn't
preach against it again"
Divesting the subject of all the fun the
NeWs reporter works into it, the reader
can use his common-sense, as we'll as
conscience, to reconcile theory and prac-
tice here. When the truth all told would
represent bad feeling, or an unkind or
discourteous one, what is called (by
"Parson Bangle'O the "polite lie'' is
simply an effort of ones better nature to
contradict the feeling and is really no
more a "lie" than refusing to groan
when one has midnight toothache,
or to yawn in company when one is
tired, or to laugh in a very ridiculous
old persons face.
Regard for the feelings and comfort
of others never justifies falsehood, but it
does justify denials that are real selt-de-
malls and professions that are at least
honest efforts to be sincere Youth s

Capital Punishment i'm France.

An execution in France has become
so rare since Nj. Grevy's ascension to the
Presidency that Il recent event of this
sort, which was the second only within
three years, has created something of u
sensation. The number of executions
since the beginning of the century has
been steadily decreasing both in Paris
and in the provinces. In the first quar-
ter of the century the average of the
whole of France was about l20 a year;
and in the second half, during which
the forging OF bank-checks ceased to be
a capital offense, only 800 persons were
executed out of 1,,j63 sentenced to
death, this being equivalent to IN aver
age of rather less than 80 a year. Dur
ing the ten Years from 1870 to 1860 there
was further decrease of 2S3 executions
out of j02 capital sentences, or % per
annum; while between 1860 and 1870
only ll9 persons were executed, or only
10 each year. In the nine years from
1871 to 1879 inclusive there were 90 exc
