The year of jubilee for the horse is
surely approaching. The western cities
have long used the cable traction sys-
tenn for street cars. Now eastern towns
are taking it up Baltimore will have
her street cars pulled by cable by next
July. A few months more will also see
them in operation on Broadway, New
York. Now, if somebody will invent a
motor to haul the huge wagons and
trucks that convey freight through
city streets, long step towards the per-
feet civilization will be accomplished.
There is not room enough in city streets
for mankind and horses too.

THE RAIN HARP.

When out Of doors Is full Of rain
I look out through the window pane
And see the branches of the trees
Like people dancing to the breeze.
They bow politely, cross and meet.
Salute their partners and retreat
And never stop to rest until
They reach the end of the quadrille.
listen and hear the sound
OF music floating all around,
And fancy it's the Breeze who plays
Upon his harp on stormy days
The strings are made of rain, and when
The branches wish to dance again.
They whisper to the Breeze and he
Begins another melody
I've heard him play the pretty things
Upon those slender. shining strings;
And when he's done he's very sharp
He always hides away the harp

The smoke nuisance in Chicago has
gradually made life burden almost in
tolerable to be borne. The same is true
of Cincinnati. But Chicago now turns
with joyful hope of relief to the natural
gas wells of Indiana. In half year, If
all goes well, the people in the great
town by the lake will be warming their
houses with natural gas, brought in
pipes from a field 1870 miles, away. Then
Chicago will be a beautiful and splendid
city. It will give her better chance
for the Worlds fair.
