The experiments of the Pennsylvania
company with the three cylinder English
locomotive were not satisfactory. it being
shown that the American construction was
far better adapted to our roadways. Be
sides it is a question whether the third
cylinder is of any special advantage SINCE
the difficulty of condensation cannot be
wholly overcome. The same trouble has
been encountered in the case of the United
States cruiser yorktown" which has
triple expansion engines. She has al
ready demonstrated greater speed and
more economical results from the working
OF two of her engines under a high pres
sure. 1t would appear that the most eff
icient machine our railroads can build is
the two-cylinder locomotive, with a good
valve motion, capable of relieving the cyl
inder so that no back pressure retards it.
In respect to valve pressure, hat in use
by the Strong Locomotive company ap-
pears to cover the case most excelIently,
having a vertical movement and opening
the exhaust instantaneously to its full
limit, if so required.

The women of the family seemed to do

turned with two big buckets of milk and he
came lodging about her with couple Of
rabbits.
At last started out with Sammy as escort
and arrived at the place after climbing over
the worst trail ever saw. But Phebe ar
rived fresh and frisky. She tackled every
hardship, every obstacle, with the same fine
dauntless air and carried me along where
Sammie's heavier horse struggled and
groaned. And she's such dainty creature,
so marvelously light and sure Of foot and SO
iron to endure. When we came to hor-
ribly steep place-a regular jump-of-she
would extend tentative forefoot over the
edge, then, after moments pause, drop it
lightly down, then the other, drawing her
bent hind legs far under her, thus carrying
ME on a nearly level saddle down the worst
and steepest places.

A rapidly advancing age is liable to pro-
duce incongruities. When the season is
moist and warm rank weeds grow easily, and
it is extremely difficult for the farmer to
keep them down. Every reform in the
worlds history, has been productive Of abb
normally developed and excessively pro-
gressive ideas, many of which happily reach
no fruition. The modern cry of woman's
rights and feminine equality has given us
the masculine woman, creature feared by
many and loved by few. Between the in
sipid nonentity. whose ignorance is her chief
attraction, and the know-all woman, who
parts her hair like a man and strides along
the street with Amazonian gusto, there is a
very wide gulf. In the center of the chasm
is broad and beautiful platform, all decked
with flowers and beauty, upon which 1 think
woman ought to walk.

A VERY SENSIBLE RACE.

Colored People X II Whit s and Blacks,
bur Never Kill Themselves.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
There are plenty of cases on record in the
South in which colored people have been
killed by members of their own race, but a
negro seldom, if ever, commits suicide. I
know of no nationality or race in which
self-murder is so rare, and the reason is, OF
course, the extreme philosophy which char
terizes the colored man or woman's every
thought.
There may be a good deal Of grumbling,
but so long as the next meal ahead is pro-
vided for, there is nothing so much as sOlic-
itude, let alone anxiety, and just where de-
spair can be found in a colored man is hard
to say. The negro may labor under good
many disadvantages, but he certainly is
ahead of his white brother in the matter Of
enjoying himself heartily on the least pos
sible provocatioD, and of never thinking OF
such thing as meeting trouble hallway.

A DISAPPOINTING HOME.
Phebe and stopped for our dinner at
house which, in any of the Northern States.
or in any more enlightened part of the coun-
try, one would have expected to contain
plenty of the com forts of life, if not luxurl-
GUS refinements-a good-sized frame house,
surrounded by a large and quite prosperous
looking farm. But it is not means alone
(not, indeed, means so much) these people
lack, as the science of living, and when they
become able to buv or build a good comfort
able house they live in it. not like owners
and proprletors, who know and value the
comforts and conveniences they have pro-
yided themselves with, and use them accord
inglv, but like robbers-base usurpers-who,
having stolen or wrongfully seized line
thing, know not how to enjoy it, but use it
ignorantly and dlsrespecttully and have
small gain of their theft.
The big rooms were bare and uninviting;
three frowsy beds stood in the room where
ate my dinner; drying apples were spread
out over the porch floors and most of the
rooms; there was not such thing as CON-
Portable chair or book in sight in the

thing about the place dingy and unappetiz-

THE LATEST LIFE BOAT.

Il Consists of Two shells, the Inner One
Fixed to Stay Right Side Up.
Illustrated News OF the World.1
Boots to put on the feet for the purpose of
walking upon the water, water tricycles and
bicycles are already known. A surprising
sort of life boat is made Of two cylindrical
shells, one inside of the other, and, no mat
ter how often the outer shell may roll over,
the passengers in the inner shell, which IS
hung like pendulum. must always remain
right side up. The great trouble about life
boats at sea is that they are apt to turn
bottom upward or get swamped in being
launched; but this trouble is obyiated by
craft of the sort that has two air-tight
cylinders for sides. and is right side mp no
matter how it falls into the water, which
automatically sets the boat into shape to
receive its passengers and crew, the oars
being ready fastened in their places for

VOMITING IN CONSUMPTION.

Way to Cure the Trouble That Drags
Down the Vitality.
New York Herald.1
1t is well known how obstinate vomiting
sometime is in cousumptive persons and how
difficult it is to stop it; and consumptive
person who vomits can no longer keep ur
strength, aud loses from that very fact the
greater part of his ability to struggle against
the action of the bacilli.
For the treatment of this vomiting Mr..
Tison recommends pills containing one cen.
tigramme of the hydrochlorate Of cocaine,
and one centigramme of extract Of opium.
The pills should be given ten minutes before
food is taken, and five or six pills can be
taken in the "a hours. This treatment also
succeeds in other chronic diseases that are
accompanied by vomiting.
This is a very simple treatment and one
that can be easily tried, but 1 should not
like to vouch for the fact that it will succeed
every time, as the frequent failures of the
numerous drugs that are recommended for
the same purpose have made me extremely
skeptical.
