"And the musicf" asked Bessie, mis-

"Safe in . corner Of my trunk" was
Mollie's ready answer. "Waiting to be

heard a word, and am just longing TO

Consequently Helen launched into one
of those lengthy and comprehensive de-
scriptions so delightful to girlish hearts.
And as she felt quite in her native ele-
ment, and no interesting detail had es-
capped her observant eyes, it bid fair to
rival 'sthe story without an end" and
was only concluded by the ringing Of the
tea bell, which was followed by general
leave taking, when, after repeated kisses
and caresses and many earnest entreaties
to "write real often and tell US every
thing" the girls departed.
1t is needless to relate the varied pleas
ures of the next three months; suffice it
that Mollie considered it the loveliest
summer she had ever spent, and the few
minutes practice had become such mat

to neglect it.
The months glided rapidly by, and, al
most before she knew it, Mollie found

Operate wi-i them In enforcing this regula-
ton, as it will be the means Of removing q
cause Of delay and viii greatly diminish the
chance Of accident
The engines in use on the Stockton and
Darlington line in 1887 weighed about twelve
tons, and had Az inch cylinders and piston
stroke of 16 inches. The three pairs of wheels
were each feet in diameter, and the pressure
of steam varied from So pounds to 60 pounds
Many of the engines had only four wheels,
and it was considered a great step in advance
when six wheel engines were placed on the
railways, the argument in their favor being
that, if by any accident one Of the six wheels
broke, the engine would still remain erect,
while if one of the four collapsed the result
would be the downfall Of the locomotive On
the Birmingham and Derby junction line the
engines weighed ten tons ten hundredweight,
and the two driving wheels were feet 6
inches. and the four carrying wheels 3 feet 6
inches each.
In contrast to the above. We subjoin an il
lustration Of the famous "Marchioness of
Stafford" engine, exhibited by the London
and Northwestern company at the Inven-
tiohs exhibition in 1855, and adopted as the
type of the conpany's express locomotives
With tender, this type Of ei.yine weighs fifty
four tons eleven hundredweight, and the
cargo OF coal is five tons. The driving wheels
are feet inches in diameter, and the en-
CINE is worked at pressure of 175 pounds to
the square inch. The greatest novelty in
these engines is, however, the adoption of the
compound" system, by which tho expansive
power of the steam is fully utilized.-London
