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 dc
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 a
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
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 inexhaustlble quantity at the
nominal price of 10 cents per ton, is
about one dollar per car per day, or a
triie over one cent per car mile, The
economy over animal power, the cost of
which in New ork and Boston is reck-
oned at something over ten cents per car
mile, is very apparent.
Similar electric railways are in opera
tion at Appleton, Wis, and 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 DYING HOUSE,.

She is dead; her house is dying;
Round its long deserted door,
From the hillside and the moor,
Swell the autumn breezes, sighing.
Closer to its windows press
Pine-tree boughs in mute caress;
Wind-sown seeds in silence come,
Root, and grow, and bud, and bloom;
Year by year, kind Natures grace,
Wraps and shields her dwelling place
She who loved all things that grew,
Talked with every bird that flew,
Brought each creature TO her feet
With persuasive accents sweet;
Now her voice is hushed and gone,
Yet the birds and bees keep on.
0, the joy, the love, the glee,
Sheltered once by that roof-treel
Song and dance and serenade,
Joyous jests by maskers played;
Passionate whispers on the stairs,
Hopes unspoken, voiceless prayers;
Greetings that repressed loves theme,
Partings that renewed its dream;
All the blisses all the woes,
Youths brief hour of springtime knows
All have died into the past.
Perish too the house at lastl
Vagrant children come and go
Meath the windows, murmuring low;
Peering with impatient eye
For ghostly mystery.
Some a fabled secret tell,
Others touch the soundless bell,
Then with hurrying steps retreat
From the echo Of their feet.
Or perchance there wander near
Guests who once held revel here.
Some live DER again the days
Or their loves first stolen gaze;
Or some sad SOUL looking in,
Calls back hours of blight or sin,
Glad II her mute life may share
In the sheltering silence there.
0 what cheeks might blanch with fears
Had walls tongues, as they have earsl
Silent house with close locked doors,
Ghosts and memories haunt thy foorsl
Not web of circumstance
Woven here into romance
Fer can perish; many a thread
Must survive when thou art dead.
Children's children shall not know
How their doom of joy or woe
Was determined ere their birth,
Meath this roof that drops to earth,
By some love.tie here create,
Or hereditary hate,
Or some glance whose bliss or strife
Was tie climax OF life,
Though its last dumb witness falls
With the crumbling of these walls

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

A Recipe for Corn Bread.
One cup sour milk, one cup sweet;
One good egg, that you will beat;
Half cup molasses, too,
Half cup sugar add thereto;
With one spoon of butter new,
Salt and soda each a spoon,
Mix up quickly and bake it soon,
Then you have corn bread complete,
Best of all corn bread you meet.
1t will make your boys face shine,
If he is like that boy Of mine.
If you have dozen boys,
To increase your household joys,
Double then this rule / should,
And you'll have too corn cakes good
When you've nothing nice for tea,
This the very thing will be.
All the men that have seen,
Say it is of all cakes queen;
Good enough for any king,
That a husband home can bring:
Warming up the human stove,
Cheering up the hearts you love;
And only Tyndall can explain
The links between corn bread and brain
Get a husband what he likes,
And save hundred household strikes.

BOnght a Husband.

The lady in Washington who bought
a husband FOR 500, 900 in consideration
of his deyoting the whole of every even
ing to the game of whist, will probably
not have many imitators. But if she
does nave any, the husbands viii proba-
bly, ~ forthcoming, especially if the
other brides, like this one, are seventy
years old. Even supposing she should
live to play whist ten years more, that
would only be 3, $50 evenings, including
sundays, and the rate of pay would be
about S21.40 per night-not bad wages,
even for a good whist player. Epoch,
