Model Motive Power.

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road Company has recently placed
in service on its fast trains between
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington, three new engine
which are doubtless the finest and
fastest ever built in this country.
These new flyers have driving
wheels six feet, six inches high and
cylinders 20 inches by 24. The
large cylinders give them tremen-
dous power and the high drivers
protect the machinery from the rack
and strain incident to driving small
er engine at great speed. There
is practically no limit to the speed
TO which these new marvels may be
driven and they skim over the rails
as smoothly as a swallow over a
lake.
Another recent addition to the
motive power of the company is a
consignment of eight powerful ten
wheel passenger engines, designed
for service on the mountain divisi-
ons. These are the heaviest ten
wheel engines ever constructed,
weighing sixty-seven and one-half
tons. They have driving wheels
six feet two inches high and cylin-
ders q inches by 90. One of these
machines performs the work hereto
fore requiring two of the ordinary
class and they take the heavy
through express trains upthe noun
tain grades quickly and with per-
feet ease.
The Mt, Clare shops-of the COM
pany have recently completed an
order for ten switch engines of the
highest type, and sufficiently pow
erful to make up a train equal to
the full drawing power of a consoli-
dation freight engine. Also three
new heavy eight wheel passenger
engines, having driving wheels
five feet eight inches, and cylin-
ders twenty inches by twenty four.
These engines are now doing excel
lent work; they are very powerful
and susceptible of great speed.
In addition to the foregoing the
Company has now under construct
ion at its Mt Clare Shops ten pow
erful ten wheel engines designed for
fast freight service and for heavy
passenger trains on occasion, also
twelve consolidation freight engine
of great power.
These additions to its motive
power are in line with the other
great improvements constantly be-
ing made in the general betterment
of the b. & o. property by its pres
ent management, which have been
noted by the press from time to time,
and the rapid augmentation of the
passenger traffic of the Company
indicates that the public is quick 10
recognize the presentand constantly
increasing efficiency of its train
service.

THE death of Sir John Macdonald may make great changes in Canadian politics. The party hostile to the United States has lost it's head and front. Sir John did not hate us for ourselves, but because he went in with all his soul for the independent grea : ness of Canada. It meant his own greatness. For this reason he wrought and schemed year by year to push the Dominion of Canada onward. He tried to keep Canada hostile to us because he feared annexation knowing in his heart that the real interests of tkat country lie with the United States. So he did all he could to belittle and annoy us. And after all they buried hin in a Yankee coffin, made at West Meriden He would not rest easy in hIs grave ii he knew it.

POINTS ON NEWS DRESS.
Something About the Styles in Shirts
 for Summer Wear.

for Summer Ntenrs
 It would seem that the shirt might be made to go on and fit like a coat. ln- deed, the experiment has been tried and successfully, as exemplified in the Prince Albert shirt that opens and buttons all the way down the front and may be put on after the hair is dressed. This certainly is the way a man should make his toilet: His coi1atre sh ould be arranged before his dress linen is assumed. The shirt might be made to button behind in the same way, and there is no reason why the but ton-holes should not be larger and hori- zontal as in coat, larger pearl buttons being sewed on in Q way to facilitate the buttoning.
 The speculation that is now going on in the realm of shirtdom may tend to an ef- fort towards the making of this dressy garment in 0 more eongenial form. The madras, cheviot, flannel, silk and wool, and other fabrics, might be tried upon the public in some new measure of improved construction. The puff shirt is a decided ly daring innovation, and there are other deviations from the recognized styles that have awakened the public pulse to the pos abilities of any innvation that may be of- fered.
 As for the flannel shirt and it's much mooted future this season, l do not ha0i- tate to predict it's continued dominance
 
 kindred textures with their heavy starched collars will be found very much warmer when any exercise is indulged in, and the soft, yielding collars of the soft fabric shirts will therefore give these goods the popular call.
 The colored shirt will not be worn in the 1 evening by men who own dress suits, and those men who have been accustomed to don the following day the white shirt worn at the evening reception will not, | with stock of colored shirts, do this | the result being that, in reality, while the | colored examples are extra bought, the | same number-or one each night of the l white dress shirts-will be required by the
 men who essay to keep within the bounds | of fashions dictates.
 see a new menace to the men of shirt l dom in the knee underbreeches of mascu- | Unity that have lately been introduced | If men will take to these moderated pant | alettes and long stockings, why will they | not tangent off to shirt-waists to button
 to and hold them up? The only practic- | able way to mako these latter, moreover,
 would be in jacket fashion, and would 1 they not be well-fitting and comfortable | wtthal?-Oothier and Furnisher.

Wallets for the Bachelors.

"Over in New York;" said young Phila- delphian yesterday, " a bachelor can live comfortably and not be considered on the same plane as a lone cat for example Richard Mansfield occupies a suite of apartments at the Crosie, on Twenty-sixth street near Fifth avenue. They consist of parlor, two bed rooms and bath, fitted up elegantly, possessing the most perfect sanitary arrangements. A elevator runs all the year and corps of competent ser- wants attend to everything. He can have his meals sent to him if he chooses, or he can eat wherever he happens to be when hungry. The apartments unfurnished probably rent for $1, GOO year.
 In some apartment houses for bach elors one or two valets are stationed in the building, and they attend to the young men as if they were private servants. No extra charge is made for any more than for the gas. The tenant can be walked up, have his bath placed ill readiness, his clothes laid out, his collar buttons and studs placed in the shirt, get shaved, in fact, be made perfectly comfortable by the valet; you may be sure this valet idea is a very attractive one, and it pays, too"- Philadelphia Inquirer.

Training the Memory.

Sidney Woollett, the New York elocu- tionist, says that the way memory can be trained is by constant exercise. II know thirteen of Shakspearehs plays and Tenny- sons Idyls' by heart, besides a volume of miscellaneous poetry. My process was simple. went hard to work and learned them by rote. Sometimes I would read ten lines over carefully several times, and then attempt to repeat them. If failed I would keep at them till I knew the lines perfectly; then I would try ten lines more. By memorizing ten lines at time thoroughly I had little trouble to repeat an entire poem of 1000 lines or more. My favorite way of memorfzing is while am walking. Often have walked fifteen or twenty miles, repeating long poems like Miles Standish,' 'Enoch Arden and Elaine. It somehow comes natural to me to memorize while walking. I seem to remember better what I have conned. Shakspeare's plays are difficult to memor- ize, because the author has so many strik- ing lines and so many original characters. Naturally it is more difficult to recite dramas than poems. If happen to make the slightest mistake in reading my lines hear from it, so I am careful to know what recite perfectly"

 NEW YORK, July 9.-Mrs. Jessie Judd, A years of age, was accidentally shot and perhaps fatally wounded by her hus- band, John R. Judd, dealer in sports mans goods at 1884 Broadway.
 MT. Judd was putting up a box of re- volvers for a customer at the Catskills, and as he packed each revolver in a box he snapped the trigger mechanically. Mrs. Judd was standing close by her hus- band while he was engaged in packing the revolvers in the box.
 MT. Judd had snapped the triggers of two of them and put them in the box and taken the third one from the shelf, and as he snapped it there was loud report, Mrs. Judd exclaiminy q anu shot" and fell to the floor.
 Physicians were summoned who said that Mrs. Judds condition was critical, and her ante-mortem statement was taken by coroner. She told the coro. ner that the shooting was accidental and exonerated her husband from all blame MT. Judd was arrested and admitted to bail in the sum of $1 ,000.
 MT. Judd cannot account for the bullet being in the pistol, excepting on the the ory that it was an old one which had been put in with the new ones by mistake

Divorce in Two Countries.

The people of England have often won- dered if it is as easy to get a divorce in this country (America) as reported through the news journals says M. l.. Stannard of London. The subject had been made the point of so many jests that was induced to doubt the accuracy of popular reports until I looked upon the matter. It is un- mistakably very easy to break asunder the ties of matrimony in the United States In England 0 divorce is not procured so easily. The laws on the subject are very ancient and might be modified little, but as whole they are much more preferable from social and moral standpoint than those in this country. A peculiar feature of English divorce laws is that they are par ticularly hard on the male sex, don't you know. The women have much the best of it. although they had nothing to do with framing them and are in no way re- sponsible for the injustice to be noted. Desertion is not sufficient case for grant ing divorce. I had 6 cause @ few years ago where man was refused a divorce although his wife mad deserted him eight years before through no fault of his. had another client, and a wealthy one who had been deserted on hiN wedding day ten years before. The woman had married him out of pique and then refused to live with him. Yet he couldn't get a divorce.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Pretty Designs That Must Correspond
 With the Costume Worn.
 The summer gown Is not complete with out 8 fan which blends with 1t, says the New York Times. A pretty fan, to be car- ried with black net dress, is one made of black gauge on which the fleur de lis Is pointed. The sticks are of black shell. An other pretty black gauge fan has silver sticks and embroidered all over the fan in silver threads are huge butterflies, silver tinsel being used for their wings.
 One fan is made of white silk, with black point lace butterflies upon it. The sticks are of mother pearl, and here and there upon them is tiny butterfly done in black enamel. A fan which blends well with a violet gown is of green gauge. Painted over the lower part are violets, peeping out from beneath green leaves. This fan is not very large, and does not close. The handle Is of gold, with 8 bunch of five purple enamel violets with 8 diamond center for its top.
 Many of the fans to be used this sum- mer are covered with jeweled bugs. Fans made of dark shades of silk will have upon them strange-looking beetles with jeweled wings. Avery dainty fan is half of shirred crepe lisse. Where the shiring ends is ih- dicated by 8 fine silver thread. The upper part of the fan Is white silk, with pink clover and its green leaves painted upon it. The stems can be seen through the shirrin9, and the clover looks as If 1t was just lifting up it's head to peep out at the world from the shirred crepe. The handle is silver. A fan made of yellow marabout feathers has sticks of shell. In one can be seen the face of tiny gold watch. White ostrich feather fans, with pearl handles and the owners initials formed of her favorite gem, somewhere on the handle, are in vogue.

JOHN w. MACKAY, one of the bonanza kings, is said to be interested in the lay ing of cable between Brazil and the United States, and he has employed Col Robert G. Ingersoll, who only works for big fees, to secure the support of the administration for a scheme by which it is hoped to secure a large subsidy from the United States for the proposed cable. MT Mackay seems to have forgotten that the democratic party, which controls the house of representatives, is opposed to government subsidies of any kind Mir Mackay is the reputed owner of many millions of dollars; if he thinks a cable to Brazil would be good invest ment why does he not go ahead and lay it with his own money?

That is the key to the social fairyland, without which we can never hope to enter We want it With our friends, with our enemies, in our ambi- tions, our amusements, in our public gath erings, in our intimate relations, in talk, or in silence, we want it badly"

Wash Your Face at Night.

There are many girls who retire at night thoroughly tired, and forgetting therefore to wash their faces just before seeking their pillows for the much-needed slumber. This is great mistake both on account of health and beauty. Not only does any particle of dust on the face have time to create havoc before morning, but If cosmetics have boon used, it is a disas- trous neglect, the poisons or chemicals eat into the skin and destroys It's smooth ness as well as whiteness and have a clear entrance through the pores into the sys- tern. By using plentiful supply of warm water on the face before resting, much damage to the skin Is saved and much good toward it's preservation Is accom- ulfshed
