This Car for Ladies Who Don't Smoke

One of the great luxuries of Paris and
London are the two-story omnibuses.
Europe has gotten beyond street caas
and paved streets. London, Paris, Brus-
sells, Berlin and other great cities have
given up the stone pavement. Asphal-
tum has taken its place. The asphaltum
streets are so smooth that rails are not
needed, and in place OF street cars i'm
mense omnlbuses, each drawn by three
big stations, run in all directions. The
aspaaltum streets are as smooth as
glass, they are noiselcss, cost less than
stone and lasts as we'll. New York is
wise in covering her stone pavements
with asphalt. 1t is only a question of
time when, with smooth pavements, the
noiseless omnibus will take the place Of
rattling street cars.
The fare on Paris omnibus is from 4
to cents, according to the distance
travelled, while on the London bus it
is from . to 6 cents. Omnibus fares are
higher in Europe than street car fares in
America. Hack hire is cheaper in Eu-
rope than in America. You can ride a
mile in London for SO cents and in Paris
for 80 cents. London cabs cost 60 cents
an hour, while French cabs cost 40
cents. .'' 'A tl
The French cab driver hires his cab
and horse of a company by the day. He
pays So. 80 for a cab and horse for twelve
hours, and can change his horse for a
fresh one when tired.
In st. Petersburg, Russia, you can ride
mile in a cab for cents, or ten kopecs.

FARM AND GARDEN.
DlTcHINo pLows.
An Easlcr and Cheaper Method Tha
Digging by Hand.

An Easior and Cheaper Method Than
digging by Hand.
In answer to inquiry OF the owner OF
= moderate farm for some easier and
cheaper way for digging bitches than
doing the work by hand, we may, says
the Country Gentleman, give the state
ment of our own experience with the
ditching plow, when the subsoil was so
hard as TO require the use Of the pick
for loosening 1t before shoveling out
the loosencd earth. Where the soil Is
SO soft that 1t may be freely spaded to
depth of three or four feet, the ditch
ing plow would be of no use; and
where the subsoil is entirely free from
stone and the land is quite extensive,
one of tho large and costly machines
used at the West would doubtleas be
moro profitable.
We give a figure and description Of a
ditching plow many years ago, with
which we cut several miles of ditch
through hard subsoil at less than half
the expense OF hiring all the work
done by hand. The line of the ditch
was first laid out, and furrow was run
with common plow and repeated two
or three times as a beginning, and to
reduce the whole labor. This was then
followed with the ditching pillow, which
was similar to common subsoil plow.

age for the plowman to hold 1t steadily
at the right depth. The plow was one
and three-quarters inches wide, and
. good team would draw it through a
hard subsoil full Of stones. BY length
ening the draft-chain, it could go three
feet deep. 1t was used with long
evener the same as Fig l, but it was a
m ore powerful and durable implement,
and Mr.. Du Bois thinks it will last q
hundred years. He never had it pat
ented, and sent us the description of it
at the time, to prevent any other per-
son obtaining q patent
Another ditching- -plow, working in
the same way, is represented in Fig. g.
1t was made many years ago at Geneva,
NJ Y, and was remarkable for it's dura-
by man who made ditching his busi-
ness, but whose name we do not know.
Its special value consisted in the two
side points, with the main one in the
center. These could be made to cut the
ditch smoothly and at precisely the
right width. 1t was made wholly of
iron and steel, and weighed seventy
five pounds The face OF the middle
point was three-fourths OF an inch wide,
and those of the side points an inch
and q half The handles and beam
were fixed, and not rising or falling,
the Araft-chain regulating the depth.
With good pair of horses, this plow
lossen& earth as fast as twelve men
could throw it out with shovels. 1t was
never patented, and tho man who made
1T, we are informed long since left the
country.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1890-10-04

except in the arrangement for allowing
the point to run to depth of three or
four feet while the beam and handles
Of the plow remained at the surface.
Fig. represents this plow, the dotted
lines showing the position Of the beam
as 1t gradually rises to allow the cut
ting point to run correspondingly
deeper, the handles similarly raised at
the same time. This plow was drawn
by two horses on opposite sides Of the
ditch, attached to the ends of whiffie-
tree six OF seven feet long. Passing
two or three times, three or four inches
of the hard-pan subsoil were loosened
ready to be shoveled out by hand. One
team would loosen as much earth as
seven or eight men would throw out by
hand, and where there were several
parallel bitches under way at the same
time, the team could prepare several
hours work for the shovelers in ad-
vance, If the subsoil was very hard,
the ditching-plow would work more
slowly, at the same time that it would
prove greater labor-saver If the cut
ting point was kept sharp. When the
cost of cutting bitches wholly by hand
was thirty cents rod, at depth of
three feet, the cost was only twelve
cents rod with the use of this pillow,
aided by the hand-shovelers.
Another ditching plow, which we
figured and described in the Country
Gentleman in 1852, was invented and
used by P. Du Bois, of Tompkins Coun-
ty, N. Y, of which this accompanying
figure Gig. p is copy. Its operation
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1890-10-04

was on the same principle as the one
above described, being used for loosen
ing the hard subsoil. The point was
of steel; the rest of the plow of bars of
wrought iron half an inch thick and
two and half inches wide. One end of
each was welded on the steel which
forms the point, with space of three
fourths of an inch between for the
beam. A bolt ten inches from the
point was the place from which the
beam drew, and serving as pivot for
allowing it to play up and down or to
rise or fall automatically, according to
the depth of the ditch. This is shown
by the dotted lines. One of these piows
may be made for ten dollars.
Mr.. Du Bois gave us some additional
particulars of its construction at the
time, eight years ago. The bar Of
steel, forming the point, and which
was nearly square, weighed about two
pounds, on which the side bars were
welded at slant They were about
four feet long, and the wooden handles
were bolted to them. making eight feet
from the steel point to the ends of the
handles. These gave sufficient lever

lower than below, but in America the
fare should be the same. The upper
story in these cars is reached from out

Criticism of Union Pacific Schemes.

OMAHA, Aug. ESPECIAL telegram to
THE HERALD. Among railway men here
who are prone to criticise the Union Pa
cific schemes it is current talk that the re-
cent taking away of the Republican Valley
roads running from Valley and Columbus
south from the Nebraska division and plac-
ing them in the st Joseph & Grand Island
division is TO swell the earnings of that
district and lessen those of the main line.
The st. Joseph & Grand Island is under
lease to the Union Pacific and the bonds are
guaranteed by that road. 1t has never been
a paying property, and now and then some
kicker has charged that freight was be-
ing diverted from the main line to help il
out. The deal by which the Union Pacific
and St. Paul & Omaha made joint road
from Sioux City to Lincoln via Columbus
has changed the course of much business.
When the Union Pacific, Cheyenne s.
Northern road is completed this year to
Douglas, Wyo.. there will be another joint
line with northwestern road, the Elk
horn and another road which draws bust
ness away from the main line.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch.1
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The Worlds dis
patch from Cape May announcing Presi-
dent Harrison's intention of sending to
Congress communication in favor of Mr..
Blaine's reciprocity plan is still the upper
most topic of conversation among politi-
clans here. One of the gentlemen who
participated in the conference at Cape Nav
Point and who has returned to Washing
ton, expressed his surprise to-day that the
WOrid could have got the information, but
at the same time he volunteered the assur-
ance that the news was correct and that
the Presidents message would soon be-
sent to Congress. The Star last evening
said:
''Tne adversaries of Mr.. Blaine have mob
succeeded in winning the President over
to opposition to his secretary of state.
The President and Mr. Blaine are in &C
cord on the reciprocity matter, and unless
something extraordinary happens to pre-
vent it, a message will be sert to Congress
by Mr.. Harrison strongly endorsing the
general proposition known as the Blaine
plan. He is now preparing such message.
The opposition will have to yield with the
best grace they can or suffer defeat''
NThe general understanding between the
President, Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Wanamaker
when they left Cape May was that the
President would send a message to Con-
gress recommending the adoption of an
amendment providing that after the expira-
ton of eighteen months from the repeal of
the sugar duty, that repeal shall apply to
only such countries as have by that time
agreed to admit certain products of our
farms and manufactures to their ports free
Mckinley, it is said, will not object to this
amendment
