Weapon with Which France VIII Trust
Not Even Her Own Soldiers.
The French value the secret of their
new magazine rife-the Lebel-so
much that the troops have been or
dered not to use it when mounting
guard or taking part in maneuvers.
For these purposes their old breech-
leaders Of the 1874 type are to be en-
ployed. This plan may or may not
prove effectual in preventing the Ger
mans from learning the mystery of the
Lebel powder, which explodes noise
lessly and without producing any
smoke, but it must have perilous ten
dency to bring about a repetition of the
state of things which hindered the
French from realizing the full superb
ority of the Chase pot during their
last war with Germany. At the com
mencement of that war thousands Of
the French troops did not even know
how to fire their new rifles. and had
to ask for instructions on
that subject. In the present case the
danger is accentuated by the issue of a
new regulation forbidding men to take
into account either the smoke or the
noise in battle. This is, of course,
on account of the new smokeless rifle.
The position of party on the defen-
sive, hitherto betrayed by cloud OF
smoke, will henceforth remain undis-
closed to the assailants, and the prac-
tice of forcing the enemy to deploy by
| fire from great distance will have
to be abandoned. The more the at
tacking party marches in serried ranks
and the quicker it advances upon the
enemy the more fearful will be the
| losses inflicted upon it by the invisible
| foe These are very momentous
| changes, amounting, in fact, to revo-
| luton in the modern art of war. But
the plan of making French soldiers
| carry their old rifles while they go
through movements appropriate only
| to The new arm can only lead to con-
| fusion. .-London C0urt JonrnGa

HUSBAND AND WIFE
Tho Reason why Marriage Is Very Fro
quently Failure.

quently Failure.
Many letters we have read with sad
ness lately, prove that the majority of
unhappy homes have resulted from too
slight acquaintance previous to mar
riage. A handsome face, pretty fig
ure, the step that suits in a waltz, the
chatter that amuses for an hour. are in
too many cases all that is deemed
necessary for lifelong companion
ship. Others have failed because each
started with the idea that marriage
means getting, not giving; the man in
tent only on the comfort he can obtain
from an unpaid housekeeper. the
woman on the attention and adulation
of an ever-present lover. No altera-
tions in marriage laws or civil con-
tracts can make such unions happy or
successful.
Let men learn to be patient and SYM
pathetic. to pause sometimes in their
fuller, more varied lives to brighten
with little thought and love the dull
er, more monotOnous ones Of their
women-folk; and let woman re-
alize that the lives of true
men and citizens can not always
be cramped within their narrower
home circle, and strive to take an un-
selfish pleasure in and to show ready
sympathy with those wider outside in
forests and ambitions. just imagine the
kind of thing which a Frenchman who
in theory held the legality of marriage
to be unimportant to morals, would
have written, and contrast it with that
letter, and its note of intense, though
conventional, domestic piety. There
are scores of letters breathing that
spirit, though usually expressed with
much more clumsiness, and, to use the
word which best expresses the fact,
"humdruminess." 1t is that quality
which is to us the satisfactory feature
of the letters.
The humdrums are in England the
immense majority, and to judge from
these letters, they have no more in
tention of attacking the marriage laws
as far as their main principle is con,
cerned, than they have Of agitating
against the principle of caveat emptor,
or the rule that a jury should
consist of twelve. They have, in
fact, never considered marriage as an
institution like any other, but as hu.
man condition, the very healthiest
state OF mind a community could en-
JOY. 1t is only when a community
feels that marriage needs to be sus-
tanned by argument. that it begins to
be in danger. Even the few who
would abolish marriage have never
really considered their proposal, for
they neither suggest substitute, nor,
apparently, have thought for an in
stant what the social consequences
would be, to what utter slavery il
would reduce women-tO whom, after
forty, a threat of divorce would be like
a sentence Of slow death-or what the
ruin it would work on the next genera
ton. They propose the change to get
rid of discomfort, just as they propose
federation to be rid of the Irish diff
Guilty, or socialism to be rid of occa-
sional cases of suffering from want.
Their lightness Of thought is bad; but,
like the density of their opponents
thought, it proves that there is no real
question in the public mind. .--Lond0n

A New England housewife pronounces Mrs.
Cleveland's brown bread recipe to be UNI
doubtedly very nice, but not the article
Yankees demand, and sho proceeds to give
the following genuine New England recipes:
In the first place, brown bread, like cake,
is much more tender and exceedingly lighter
when stirred with knife instead of spoon.
A broad bladed knife is the better. And to
be thoroughly enjoyed, brown bread must be
accompanied with brown baked beans.
Brown Bread-One quart of corn meal, one
pint of rye meal, one quart of sweet milk
one teaspoonful of soda, one teaspoonful OF
salt, one coffee cup full of molasses. Mix the
corn and rye meal thoroughly together, add
the milk and salt, stir the soda into the mo
lasses until it foams, then stir all together
with knife. Put the mixture into n regular
brown bread dish, being careful to grease
the dish well. Steam at least nine hours
then bake in a moderately heated oven one
hour.
Baked Beans-Soak ono quart of me
dunn sized white beans in lukewarn
water over night In the morning boil them
until the outer skin cracks, then drain them
and rinse thoroughly in cold water Put
them in n regular bean pot; wash and scrapc
one pound of salt pork cut the rind into
squares and place on top of the beans. Add
one teaspoonful of salt, half Il teaSpoOntu
of soda, and cover tho whole with colo
watcr. Bake nine hours in a moderately

the following is very good way to display

full outline with the shelf set low enough so
that the back of the bracket will project

fine plush But before covering put the diff
ferent parts of the bracket together with
screws Then take them apart and cover
each with plush, after which they can easily
be put together again.

PROPOSED ARCADE RAILWAY.
Revived scheme for Rapid Transit in
New York.


The western visitor to New York city
who approaches lower Broadway-say
about the Aston house or Trinity church
is appalled, by the uproar and apparent
danger of the crossing. All that section
OF the city appears Congested, if such word
be allOwablc all the streets are close set
with vehicles, and if one team balks or
gives OUT there is n jam for many
blocks. The other day the writer saw n
horse attached to an overloaded truck
balk at the crossing of Fulton and Broad
way; in three minutes there was Jam Of
wagons, carts and trucks extending west
ward on Fulton four squares, and rs far
up and down Broadway as one could see.
1t was forty minutes before the jam was
broken, and the two great currents in
motion up and down the opposite sides Of
each street Then it became plain, as
never before, how very awkwardly lower
New York was laid out. Each successive
strip was designed to be only the outskirts,
first. of u fort and camp; second, of
trading town; then of n Dutch burg, and
then of a small city. When the border of
the growing town got up to the present
Park row, the city dads concluded it was
big enough, and abandoned for q while
what little system they had, allowing the
side streets to take the fanCiful course and
names of Park and Bowery. And on top
of this irregular Dutch burg has grown
the mighty city of New York-a giant in
the trundle bed of boy So all the cry
for twenty-five years has been for Gin
proved transit" rapid transit"
The first proposition was that the pave
ments on each side of Broadway should
be moved back into the adjoining build
ingsl In other words, an arChed way was
to be cut out of the first story of each
building; part of the wall between it and
the street would remain to support the
upper stories; the pavement would be
sheltered, and all the street could be given
to traffic. But before this system could
be perfected the city grew so large that it
was plainly insufficient. Then came the
elevated roads, and all New York joined
in II song of triumph that the problem
was solved. But traffic grew md pas
sengers multiplied; and the sharpest eye
cannot discern that the hundreds of
thousands who daily use the elevated
have lessened the street travel by so much
as one. Indeed, the strong argument for
granting Il franchise for a horse railroad
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1888-01-13

on Broadway was that the travel had out
grown the conveniences. The Brooklyn
bridge was looked to for some relief but the
approaches to the bridge cars are jammed
with humanity for three hours late every
afternoon, and still the street travel in
creases. So New York has taken up the
last alternative, an underground railway.
The proposed road is to run from City
Hall park near the postoflice, through
Elm street, to the Grand Central depot
on Forty-second street-a distance Of
three miles They call it the Arcade
Road, it sounds better; and the inten-
ton is to make all the approaches to its
stations very attractive above ground.
The road proper, with stations, will
cost but 81 800, 900 n mile; but the
terminal facilities and rolling stock
are expected to cost at least half as much
more, and the city authorities insist that
tunnels must be provided under the tracks,
for all the gas pipes, water pipes and
other connecting works. The motive
power is to be electricity or the newly
adopted fireless steam engine with stored
and supcrheated steam. Two years are
t, allowed for the completion of the three
mile section, and thereafter the line is to
be extended gradually up to Kingsbridge,
at the extreme northern limit of the city.
So the reader who does not visit New York
till 1S9l9j may expect to go down into II
beautifully rallied basin near the postotlice,
take his seat in a pleasant car and be nine
miles away in half an hour; for there will
be two tracks for express trains and two
for way trains.
1t should be added that there are those
who hold that this project will never be
! carried out-and of course the influence
Of the elevated roads will be against it,.
The scheme was supposed to be near fru-
| itiOn some three or four years ago but it
| fell through.
