Electric Street Railways

One of the most successful examples of
an electric street railway is that at Scran-
ton, Pa, designed by Charles J. Van
Depoele, of Chicago, which has been in
daily operation since December, 1886.
1t is four and one-half miles in length, of
standard gauge, laid with steel rails, and
its passenger equipment consists of seven
handsomely finished Pullman cars, each
propelled by 10 horsepower electric
motor, which stands on the glass-enclosed
front platform and is geared to the for
ward axle by the familiar mechanical de
vice of sprocket- wheels and steel chains.
The motor stands about two feet high
and occupies space perhaps eighteen
inches square. The car can be run at q
speed of fifteen miles per hour, if re-
quired, and in its regular work ascends
grades of nearly $50 feet per mile with
great facility. The machinery is nearly
noiseless and quite unobjectionable in
every respect. 1t is stated that the cost
of running at Scranton, using for fuel
the waste coaldust or "culm" from the
anthracite mines, which can be had IN
almost inexhaustIble quantity at the
nominal price of 10 cents per ton, is
about one dollar per car per day, or a
tribe over one cent per car mile. The
economy over animal power, the cost of
which in New York and Boston is reck-
oned at something over ten cents per car
mile, is very apparent.
Similar electric railways are in opera
ton at Appleton, Wis, aud St. Catha-
rine, Ontario, which are driven by water
power at an almost nominal cost. In
many instances natural power may be
thus used with the utmost advantage, as
it is by no means necessary that the
power should be in the vicinity of the
line of the railway.

The Wor!d,u Need.

What the worlds need demands of us Is
not more eloquent preaching, more passion
ate appeal, more subtle philosophizing more
originality of thought, but the clear voiced
outspeeking of Gods Word as it has been up
pretended in the deepest experience of our
own heart and conscience. Only let men
come face to face with the facts Of Fedemp-
ton, and with the thoughts of God as they
are incaInated in Jesus Christ, with their
self-evidencing light and power, and we may
trust God for all the rest. This would bring
the weary and heavy-laden round us, like
thirsty travellers round a newly-discovered
we'll 1t would restore the church's ancient
power of prayer, Of rebuk;ng iniquity, of
touching consciences, Of winning hearts, and
would develop among us a nobler form of life
in the beauty of holiness And it would tell"
most powerfully on all the interests of hui
E1anity.
We must ourselves be the Bible to them,
and our daily lives must be the sermon;
preached all the week in our daily employ
ments and our social intercourse, We must
put our souls truth, our souls integrity, our
souls loyalty to God-in other words, our
Christianity-into all we do; the builder into
the wall he builds, the artisan into the work
be turns out, the manufacturer into his
cloth. the magistrate into his administration
Of Justice, the Member of Parliament into his
law-msking, and so on throughout. It. ought
% be no unsafe experiment for men to take
their idea of Christ from what they see in
the Christian church.-[Rev. DIR. James Cul-
ross.

Thus are the Garfield and Grant episodes
repeated, and public confidence in expert"
medical knowledge is again shaken.
The effects a revulsion.
Since the fatal days of 1883 many of the
doctrines of the schoolmen concerning ex-
tensive medication have been abandoned,
and all schools of practice are more and more
relying upon old-fashioned simple root and
herb preparations and careful nurslng-the
only reliances known to our ancestors.
These methods and reliances are illustrated
to-day in series of old-fashioned roots and
herbs preparations recently given to the

A jug of spring sarsaparilla was Just as
necessary in the winter supplies Of fifty
years ago as was a barrel Of pork, and a
famous medical authority says that the very
general prevalence of the use Of such prep
aration as Log Cabin Sarsaparilla explains
the rugged health of our ancestors.

an excellent remedy for all seasons of the

other preparation of similar name that can

technicalities of an advanced medical science
that cannot cure disease, such simple prepa-

Japanese Beggars.

In Japan, says Thomas Stevens, there
is nothing revolving about mendicancy.
Begging is here, as in several other
countries named, recognized as regular
profession. The Japanese beggar is a
model of politeness and honesty. It is
the custom of shop-keepers and Others
to save themselves the trouble of answer
ing the numerous calls of mendicants,
hanging number of small copper coins
in front of their shops, one coin on each
nail in the wall. When a mendicant
comes along, he sees the coins, knows
what they are there for, and steps up
and transfers one of them to his wallet.
He never abuses the confidence thus
placed in him by the charitable shop
keeper BY taking more than one.

In regard to the lawfulness of certain pur-
suits, pleasures, and amusements, it is i'm
possible to lay down any fixed and general
rule; but we may confidently say that what
ever is found to unfit you for relig ious duties,
or to interfere with the performance of them,
whatever dissipates your mind or cools the
fervor of your devotions, whatever indisposes
you to read your Bibles or to engage in
prayer, wherever the thought of bleeding
Saviour or of holy God, of the hour of
death or of the day of Judgment, falls like a
cold shadow on your enjoyment, the pleasures
which you cannot thank God for, on
which you cannot ask His blessing,
whose recollections will haunt dying bed,
and plant sharp thorns in its uneasy pillow
these are not for you. These eschew; in
these be not conforined to the world but
transformed by the renewing of your mind
-"Touch not, taste not, handle not" Never
go where you cannot ask God to go with you:
never be found where you would not like
death to find you; never indulge in any
pleasure which will not bear the mornings
reflections. Keep yourselves unspotted from
the world, not from its spots only, but even
from its suspicions.-[Dr. Guthrie.
