Quit coddIinr Their Locomotives.

B. S. Gillette. of Detroit, who was here
in attendance on the meeting of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
said to Inc: a great change has taken
place in the feeling Of engineers with
reference to the engines they run. In
the old days a man became attached to
his locomotive. He made it a part Of
his daily life. He got into the habit Of
looking upon the machine as human
being. He was tender with it. He was
careful not to push it to its utmost ten
sion, no matter what the occasion. Grad
ually the feeling has spread that an en-
CINE il constructed to do a certain
amount of work and that it must be
made to do that work regardless of the
wear and tear of the machinery. Rail-
road superintendents prefer men for en-
gineers who understand that machinery
is made for use, and who will push it for
all there is in it, if necessary. OF course,
they want men to be careful and prudent.
But they do not want the engines coddled
like sick babies. New York Tribune.

The millionaire. of New York.

Millionaires are as thick as hops.
There are hundreds of them in New
York of whom the general public has
never heard. There are half hundred,
worth from two to five millions each,
of whom the general public know moth.
ing, and at least score whose individ-
ual wealth may be reasonably esti-
mated anywhere from $25, 600, 600 to $5O,-
900, 900. concerning whom the ordinary
citizen is absolutely ignorant. Yet they
are men of affairs, men whose trans
actions affect commercial relations that
belt the globe; whose business conduct
has something to do with every known
industry in which mechanics, oil, light
and fuel are factors. 1t used TO be said
throughout New England, "the young
men go to New York to seek fortune" {"
Now it is said "the men of the country,
from the golden shores of California
and the snow-clad hills in the Sierra Ma
vada range, from the cattle kings Of the
great middle lands to the coal barons
and the petroleum princes Of the middle
states, go to New York to spend their
fortunes. Joe Howard in New York

The Fayorite Number Ton.

The reason why ten is a favorite-
perhaps the most favorite-number is
obvious enough. namely, that we have
ten fingers. When we begin to count
we almost of necessity do so with our
fingers; il we have a large number Of
things to count, say flock OF sheep, we
instinctively divide them into tens, or
perhaps into scores; il the number Of
things be very large the collection Of
tens are naturally grouped again by
tens, and SO we have hundreds. A
further grouping Of hundreds leads to
thousands, and so forth. Thus we get
the ordinary system of numeration, and
there can be no manner of doubt that
mans ten fingers are the root of it.
We are told in treatises on arithmetic
that it would have been much more con-
venient If we had agreed to count by
twelves instead of by tens; and possibly
this may be true. But, if it be, we have
so much the more evidence, il evidence
be needed, that the basis of the system
of counting was not determined by the.
oretical considerations. but by the SIM
pie elementary fact of the number of
human digits being ten and not twelve.
Nevertheless twelve has its turn as ia.
vorite number; we often count by doz-
ems, and the reason probably is that
twelve admits Of being quartered as
well as halved, which in many cases is an
advantage.-Bishop of Carlisle in Con-
temporary Review.

Good Farming.

Notwithstanding the fact that
the cotton crop in Terrell is short
this year, there are some who
have made good crops. When
making arrangements for crop
in the spring Mr.. Doc Melton
laid off one mule farm to test
the intensive system, and he is
more than satisfied with the re-
suit. On the land he used $40
worth Of fertilizers and made II
bales Of cotton, 200 bushels of
corn, $50 bushels of potatoes,
1000 stalks of cane and 100 bush
els of ground peas. Mr.. Melton
ran too other plows on which he
did not expend so much for fer
tiiizers and made about II bales
Of cotton to the mule and other
things i'll proportion. lie says
the one mule farm conducted
on the intensive system netted
him at least so per cent more
than any Other one plow.
