street Railroads DO Pay.

Few people have any idea of the
tremendous possibilities of the street
railroad business over which there is so
much contest at present. It is cash
business. The little five cent contributions,
which no man feels swell in the ag-
gregate to millions The money is in the
till every night, ready to be converted into
a bank account after the expenses are
paid. That is where the public franchises
are especially valuable. Ill 1884 the rail-
roads Of New-York carried 284,115, S62
passengers. II the fares had been uniform
at five cents on the elevated roads these
passengers would have paid their servants,
the common carriers, the sum OF 81 ,205,,
793 for their annual car fare. The in
crease of travel, which is now calculated
at 20,Oo0,000 annually, gives ratio for
the estimate Of the future Of street lines.
1t means that in 1890 there will be 42O,
o0O, 600 passengers and in 1900 not less
than 620.0O0,oOO. Think of the snug
little sum OF s31, 100000 which will be
poured into the treasury OF the street
railways in 1900 if these figures are sns-
tanned, and you will not think it any
wonder that men sre fighting like HAD
creatures over franchises or that men are
willing even to risk going to the peniten-
tiary for the sake of getting valuable
franchise.

THEY FOUND THE WILL.
An English Woman Who Left Her
Heir Penny Day.


Heir a Penny a Day.
In the year 1903 there died at Bath, III
England, q lady who had amassed consid-
erable money. On the inside of her pillow
slip was pinned note, which ran thus:
III have made a will. II you would be
rich find it.'' There was something charm
ing in this idea. The old lady must have
been of humorous turn Of mind. No
doubt she often pictured to herself her
young and aged relations, male and female
alike in pursuit. Of this phantom fortune.
Carpets would be ripped up, the contents
of cushions and beds scattered about the
floor, the wall paper torn down, the garden
dug up and, in fact, everything turned
topsy-turYy. The story goes that the
search went on night and day for a week,
each party being anxious, naturally
enough, to find the WILL when
lust as the search was about to be given
up in disgust the document was found
tightly sewn inside the skin of the lady's
wig. Then the family gathered together
to hear It read. 1t consisted Of one clause
and that w,as to the effect "that the find er
of this in consideration OF his labor and
good luck in finding it, shall have the sum
of one penny day for his natural life,
the rest OF my property to go to charities
named below." Here the story ends.
Nothing is said about the feelings of the
wiil-seekers, which is disappointing, for
there is as grand scope here for the pen
of the novelist as there is for the brush Of
the painter.

The intersection of mind and body in

of Leipsic, who states that tickling, which
he styles : variable, intermitten excite

irritation OF the sympathetic nerves, with
the result of an expansion Of the pulpil

that the consequent dininution of pressure
Oh the brain, permeated with blood vessels,
is so considerable as not to be without
danger; that powerful expiration operates
against such diminution Of pressure, and
therefore laughter, which is simply inter-

He Beat the Meter.

A smart story is told concerning the
wisdom of certain Irish member Of Par
lament, who is also lawyer. When the
M. P. was settling down in his new house
he asked to have the methods of the gas
meter explained to him. This was &C.
cordingly done, the usual explanation be-
ing given that at the end of the quarter
the hands on the clock working forward
indicated the amount of gas that had been
consumed At the close of one quarter,
when the Inspector called, the gas meter
clock had gone back instead Of forward,
and, as the occupier of the house remarked,
showed that the gas company was in his
debt exactly six and eight pence.

THE OLDEST PIANO.
A Musical Relic to be Seen In the
ancient Town OF Lynn.

d
The .inventor'' OF the first American
piano, which was brought ont in Salem
according to more than one chronicler,
would not have cared to have the fact
generally known that he spent hour after
hour at different times studying the
Rogers piano, and that he copied all Of its
essential points. This venerable instru-
ment is surprising revelation to those
who ponder on the s.strides" made in the
manufacture of pianofortes in this country.
This musical relic of s!ye olden time" is
pretty convincing bit of testimony to the
fact that there have been no astonishing
improvements in pianos for q hundred
wears. The essentials of the modern
splendid pianos are all in that old instru-
1nent, and it's notes are still surprisingly
excellent while the faction" is almost a
marvel of mechanical achievement, when
the remoteness Of the production is taken
into account. The case is q costly one,
fillets of rare inlaid work profusely diver
styling the beautiful rosewood and mahog-
any, while the keys, though varying
slightly from the present pattern, are
about as good as those now standard.
In size this instrument is in no wise to be
compared with the modern piano. tits SO di-
minntiye that it's real excellence Is
obscured. 1t is is inches long, % IL
inches wide and 33 inches high. It's legs,
six in number, are as slim and of the
shape as those of 3 stand or small table
The legs are square, tapering to the bot
tom, slightly beaded. -Four OF the legs
are on the front Of the piano. AT each
end, underneath the piano proper, are
small music closets with door opening to
the front, while still nearer the player
and underneath are shelves with grace
fully rounded corners just above the
legs handsome brass rosettes are set upon
the body of the instrument. There are
two pedals, one being used to prolong the
notes and the other serving a double pur-
pose One OF it's uses is TO increase the
volume Of sound somewhat by lifting q
section of the top Of the piano or lid
near the front. The other use OF this
pedal is to produce an imitation of the
firing Of cannon, in this case a clam bang
operation, as the player suddenly lifts the
section Of the top referred to and as sud-
denly lets it fall Boston Herald.

Just Like Ordinary Men.

/ was amused yesterday by the story OF
policeman who was sent to the opera
one night last week, and who stood for q
time in the corridor near two famous
millionaires.
"When seen them two faces" he said,
with rather an awe-stricken face, (which
the same havin' been made familiar to me
by the illustrated papers for years back.
my knees nearly shook themselves out OF

some men not bein' greater than other
men. Like my cousin, who suddenly found
himself within three feet of the Prince of
Wales, durin' his visit to Dublin about
year ago. The Prince looked at him care
less-Eke, and me cousin turned pale.
Then tho Prince smiled very quiet and
pleasant, and I'm blessed if me cousin
didn't fall down seven stone steps and
bust his right kneepan. There must be
something wrong with the kneepans Of
my family anyhow. When them two
millionaires stopped in front Of me at the
operay the other night I looked at their

policeman, with impressive earnestness,
as he waved his hand gently, s'as though
they were ordinary men. Everybody w:ot

and one of them turned and half looked
at me in the most friendly way you kin
imagine just as much as to say, though

I was just as welcome to their little joke
as though had two hundred and fifty

Progress. In Education.

The students of Yale have new game.
They get Intoxicated and go to dancing
parties to which they are not invited.
There they shout, oblige ladies to dance
with them against their will, and knock
down such of the gentlemen as oppose
their barbarity. In the first experiment
of this kind which was made the other
evening, the exercises were not entirely
healthtul, however. The students were
finally kicked into the street and some of
them were badly hurt. Still, there are
drawbacks to every educational amuse-
ment, and we have no doubt the exercises
will be continued by such OF the young
men as remain out of Jail.

Electric Lights.

Some interesting facts were developed
at the electrical convention in Baltimore
Among these was the information that
there are about 5000 arc lights in New
fifty towns in the United States have each
over 100 lamps. Tower lighting meets
west, as at Detroit, Michigan, and Elgin,
Illinois. Domestic lighting by electricity
has not advanced much, so far, ON ac-
count of expense, and meets with more
favor in Europe than in America. There
are now in use in the United States $4,000
are lights and 100000 incandescent lights,
and the money invested in the electric
light industry amounts to $70,000,000.

A little Sermon.

It is the food which we most lack that
the best charity bestows. 1t is in giving
of our most valued possessions and most
difficult exertions that true charity to-
ward others consists. Whole armies of
Christians go through life dispensing
gifts to the poor-and grinding the ser
wants of their own household. The great
majority OF teachers, from the nursery to
the pulpit, render such all exact measure
of goods TO those around them that they
chill the heart and even religion, grim
and cheerless thing. TO unbend, to be
genial, to condescend, to offer the simple
cup of cold water the tri1ing charity Of
good cheer to the world, this is not in
their list of good wooks, but would it not
be better than all?--(Queries.
