According to the New York papers, it ap-
pears that electricity may soon replace steam
as motive power on the elevated railways OF
that city. The millions Of people who have
been annoyed by the noises and smells OF the
present rapid.transit system will undoubtedly
gladly welcome the change. The develop
mont of electricity as a motive power is ad-
vaucing with rapid strides London has re-
Gently developed wonderful energy in adapt
ing itself to every improvement in that di-
rection. The Charing Gross 6 Waterloo cleo
trio railway is the latest of these undertakings
The Pail Mall Gazette gives some account Of
the proposed iron subway along which pas.
sengers will be carried by lightning under the
bed of the Thames. Tho tunnel will be two.
thirds of mile in length. There will be a
double line of railways, along which the con
stant stream of electricity-driven cars will
pass at the rate of / miles an hour making
the trip from the Grand Hotel to the loop line
station at Waterloo in % minutes. Each car
will run separately, like an omnibus. and be
driven by an electrical current generated by
steam driven dynamos at Waterloo station
and conveyed by means Of central rail to a
dynamo in the centre Of the carriage. The
tunnel will be composed of iron caissons lin
ed with white bricks, and lighted, it is to be
hoped, with incaudescent lamps. The steel
rails will be laid upon continuous longitudinal
sleepers of timber imbeddcd in the concrete
floor, so that there will be no ballast or other
moist substance to produce any smell or feel
ing of dampness or moldiness. The carriages
will be constructed entirely Of steel or wood,
without any cloth or leather lining The
wheels will be under the centre OF the car
riage, with wheol.base of FIVE feet. The
floor Of the carriages will be only nine inches
above the rails, the floors of the terminal
platform being on the same level as the car
riage floor. The centre of the carriage being
occupied by the dynamo machine, each end
will be devoted to passengers, one compart-
ment being for first and the other for second
class passengers, and being distinguished by
different-colored lamps The contract for
building the electrical tunnel has been let for
$500 600, and it is to be completed in Is
months. The cost of working the proposed
new railway is also provided for by contract
at what are claimed to be moderate terms.
The advantages Of electricity as a motor in
tunnels are obvious. Whether it can be made
equally profitable is another matter but the
company which is to operate the Thames tun-
mel electrical railway calculates that after pay
ing working expenses 1t ill be able to declare
a dividend Of Is per cent. Its success will
afford conclusive proof Of the economy OF
electric motors.

One of the greatest monopolies in this
country is the Diamond match company. 1t
has driven all the small manufacturers out of
the business, by combining all the large
match factories in this country and Canada
1t operates immense factories at Akron, Ohio
Wilmington, Del, Chicago and other points
in the United States and Canada. At the
Akron factory alone the company turned out
in the month of March 81 900 gross of
matches, gross being IA boxes which re-
tail at eight cents each. The profits hereto
fore at the Akron factory have been about
$500, 000 a year. When the stamp tax ID
abolished the company will pocket clear
profit of Sl.44 on each gross, which hereto
fore went for stamps. This will make an
extra profit of $50, 0S0 a month or the
enormous sum of 81 200, 900 extra profits in
one year. This is for the Akron factory
alone, the six other factories having the same
or nearly the same capacity. According tC
these figures, the men who compose the Dia.
mond match company will all be millionairei
at the end of the next twelve months.

STONY IN VERSE.
"The light waves kiss the shifting sands,
The deep seas kiss the sky;
Oh, kiss me once, my only love,
And then, goodbye goodbye"
He kissed her upon check and chin,
Aud on her brow no mild;
But when be kissed her on the mouth,
Each wept like wounded child.
"Oh, IN go east and I'll 90 west,
Far over land aud sea,
But never will my heart fud rest
Until It rests with thee.'
"Aud I'll cit here from year to year,
TIL my ife's stream runs dry;
But never face shall thine replace
My only love, good-byeW
He wandered east, he wandered west,
lie won gold, lands and fame,
A gray head aud a weary heart
Then back to the old world came.
The light waves kissed the shifting sands
Aud sang the self-same song;
81 wonder where's the silly lass
liked when was youug?'
He found her at her cottage door,
She smiled the same soft smile;
But when he spoke Of years TO come
She shut her eyes the while.
He kissed her upon check and chin
(They lie, saying Love grows oldO;
But when he kissed her on the mouth
IL Hhivered at the cold.
He clasped her to his lonely breast,
Beside the sunny sea;
He spake a hundred passionate words,
Bat never a word said she.
He loosed her from his longing arms,
That empty aye must be;
''I'll never in this world find rest
Till rest Ia earth with thee

AN EXPERT NJ ENT
THAT PROVED a sUCCEsE-FACTs
OF INTEREST TO MANY PEOPLE.

"Oh! how fearfully my head aches My stomach
must be completely upset. No doubt it is. Your
yellow skin and that nausea aud repugnance to food
tell the story. That sort of trouble almost as com
mon as Hamlet said lying easy. Mrs. Bruce whose
husband is connected with Uncle Sans Armory at
Springfield, Mass said not long ago to a friend Of Dr.
Renuedy's:
"Mr. Bruce has suffered everything but death from
those bilious sick headaches Of his It has been so
for years, and what It has cost him in time pain and
useless medicine dare not try to reckon up There
were periods during which these attacks would come
upon him almost every week. Just in the way Of
what he called an experiment be took DR.. David Ken
neys FayOrite Remedy. To his surprise aud delight
the Remedy purified his system, and gave it tone aud
power
as he all right now ?" asked the practical visitor
looking from the window upon the bright New Eng
land landscape.
"In this way he is said Mrs Bruce. "He has
learned to ward Of these terrible seizures when he
feels the approach Of an attack-or even before he
feels it-he uses the remedy which never fails to cheat
the disease of its victory"
Among the certain victims Of sick headache result
ing from a dsordered stomach editors, reporters
and other literary men whose habits of eating ir-
regular and who are confined to desk work. These
should have Favorite Remedy always at hand. Ask
your druggist for 1t. One dollar. DIR. DAVID

Continued from last weok.l

A prayer meeting had boen "called' for
the day following the quilting party, and at
the hour of noon Ally sat on the door step of
her cabin mending Nineys pink calico. 1t
was one Of those hot, breathless afternoons
in August when the air, charged With cleo
trioity, seems every moment ready to burst
into forked lightning. Ally, however, un.
disturbed by any sense of danger, piled her
coarse steel needle busily, and lifted up her
voice in monotonous quayering nasal hymn.
Viney in the room back of her was busy mix.
ing the corn-bread for supper As she did
so she joined in the singing in sweet high
treble, intonated with the plaintive wall char
acteristic of the music Of q captive race. The
words went round in a circle like the rolling

Three months have gone by and another
and a different Viney sits in Uncle Pills
forlorn cabin clothed in decent black, aud
sewing with downoast eyes She pores daily
over the little Testament that Preacher Sing
kns has given her, spelling out the long
words and marking such as she did not IN
derstand, for Brother Phil to explain when
he came home in the evening
For three long months Yiney bad devoted
herself entirely to religion, and for while
something like peace had stolen into her
poor storm tossed heart, but to-day Viney
sighed at her sewing. Something like un-
rest had taken possession of her, sober and
demure as she looked.
She thought as redeemed sheep of the
house Of Israel she ought to feel happy, but
she did not she was very lonely
OF late Brother Phil had not seemed to
care so much for the Bible-readings and
hymns that had been his only comfort just
after Ally's death. Viney had begun to find
that there were serpents within the church as
well as without. Envy, hatred and malice
often confronted her, and the hall. frightened
thought came to her mind that the line was
not so broad nor the gulf so deep as she had
been told between those chosen ones and the
sinner folks outside and naturally she re
membered Jack Chaney. Regarding him az
a temptation and a snare, she had kept very
carefully out of his way, and Mr. Ohaney

regularity, for the double purpose of looking
