The Locomotive to Go.

The enormous mss Of extra dead
weight due to the carrying Of the boiler,
fuel and water in the old locomotive will
be entirely unnecessary in the railways
of the future, which will be propelled
electrically. UnQuestionably tie future
lcctro.locomotion will show a motor on
every axle, or at any rate upon two axle5
of each car, and every car running as q
unit, in which case they can run coupled
together in n train or not, as may be con-
yenient. Oberlin Smith has entered a
strong protest against carrying this
enormous dead weight of loco
motive for absolutely no purpose. We
have the weight of the cars, plus the
passengers or freight, for purposes OF
traction, even if we make our cars In
future of lighter material. In speaking
of the lightncss of the future conveyance
by rail, Mr.. Smith says that we shall not
only use steel and aluminium, but paper,
india rubber and other fibrous sub
stances, which will give us remarkably
light cars, far beyond anything we now
speak of practically. Just as wheel
barrow is to BICYCLE so will our present
clumsy cars be to the future ones. To
have big motor car loaded with tons OF
ballast to give it traction, is following
the path of locomotion; in all probability
the necessary adhesion will soon be
gained by electric,ty.-Nen York Com

DRESSING BABY BOYS.

In the way OF headgear, white felt
hats, having a rucha of lace dotted with
ribbon rosettes, are worl by boys OF one
to two years. Later on they wear tar
bans of cloth or velvet, having full
crown; Tam O'Shanters, sailor shapes,
Scotch caps, pork pie hats, etc. Their
first coats are of white tufted cloth,
nstrakhan or eiderdown. Then they
have pea jackets of blue cloth, or box
plated skirts, single breasted waists,
coat sleeves and single cape overcoats.
Beaver and astrakhan, trimmings take
we'll. When a year old boy may wear
cambria, nainsook or gingnam dresses,
having a gathered skirt. shirt sleeves,
rolled collar and round waist fastened
with pearl buttons in the back. The
waist may be box plated or tucked, and
the bingham dresses may have the col
lar and wristbands of embroidery. After
dressing in this style for year and a
half, these small men arrive at the dig
nifty of yoke dresses, made with kilt
plated skirts, having fiat apron in
front, or, if small for their age, they
still wear gathered skirts of two breadths
of double.width goods. The waist may
have jacket fronts, box-plaits, or yoke
and belt Of velvet or contrasting wooden
material. A lovely best suit for boy
of three years is China silk blouse. 4

USE AND ABUSE OF PERFUMES.

Use AND ABUSE OF PERFUMES.
Let fair woman beware of using per-
fumes of pronounced and aggressive
odors. lest she offend and ALLEVIATE the
regard of he. friends. One of the chief
causes of the separation of the King OF
Holland from his first wife was the pen
chant of Queen Sophia for the scent OF
musk, which odor was intensely disagree
able to her royal consort. So generously
did she indulge her passion for this per-
fume that not only were her own apart
ments pcrmeatad with it, her clothes,
hair and belongings offensive whit, but
any room through which she passed
would smell for days after of Eerfayorite
pcrfumc. The secret of the fascinating
fragrance which seems to surround and
enanate from dainty women lies ever in
the constant use of most delicate and
faint perfumes whose odor is intangible
and suggestive rather than in the liberal
use of permeating and intense odorS,
which are sure to offend some sensitive
olfactory organism. Chicago Post.

last Friday evening at the Grand
Army Hall by the Capital City
Band, recently organized with Mr..
VIM. IL. Lee as president and Mr..
L. A. Dixon manager. The band
is composed of some of the best
musical talent in this city and there
is no reason why the band cannot
rank with the best bands in this
country. President Lee, is doing
all be can to bring it up to perfec-
ton and there is no doubt but
that he will. The concert was from
7:30 to $50 after which the floor
was cleared for dancing which
lasted until a late hour.
The audience that greeted the
first concert given by the band
consisted of some OF Washington's
best citizens who seemed to be

as YOU all know, is one of the
most enterprising men in this city
and anything that he takes hold of

Business but reflects the will of

that Vicksburg's resolutions have
