The country is full of fanatics who hate
foreigners, and the number is growing every
day. They are mostly young men, grad
yates of the Toxic schools. This hatred is
not new thing, but it is not suppressed by
the Government as it was formerly, and the
newspapers do all they can to fan it into
flame"

THE VOLUNTEER FIREMAN.

out. When l got to fire was all het
up and could not do anything for quite
awhile. Once was fined S. for not go
ing up into burning loft in the night to
rescue large heavy girl whom had
never even met and who was in her bare
feet.
A volunteer fireman has too many So
cial strains to stand for the salary he
gets. Another time was fined for not
attending fire because was asleep at
the time 1t occurred. I was very angry
when / learned that was fined again,
and for such trivial offence, too. I
then offered my resignation. What YOU
want, i said with scathing and searching
scorn, lis somnambulist. am not one
of those. Search elsewhere for your
firemep. l am not lacking in courage,
but l am not constructed according TO
your plans and specifications.
Once I was fined also for seeing a
Young lady home after the alarm Of fire
had been given. Isqpealed, but loet my
case, and had 70 pay for simply an act Of
common ganantry. Others, presume,
would leave bright young lady stand
ing in the street, where the cars might
run over her, and rush wildly of TO a fire,
but could not do that / never could.
Socially l was a great triumph as 8
volunteer fireman, and no one in the his
tory of conhagrations and hsirbreadth
escapes could 'scall off, better at FIRE
mems bail than I. but when would get
smoke in my lungs and retire TO the
orchard to cough, the foreman would
curse me bitterly and say that "he
wouldn't be likely to take but little
more of me-" Then he would report me
and fine me. l was found s. that way
three times.

The Locomotive to Go.

The enormous mass 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 I'm
guestionably the future electro-locomotion
will show a motor On every axle, or at any
rate upon two axles of each car and every
car running as a unit, in which case they
can be run coupled together in a train or
not, as may be convenient. Oberlin Smith
has entered strong protest against carry
ing this enormous dead weight of loco
motive for absolutely no purpose. We
have the weight of the cars, plus the pas
sengers or freight, fds purposes of traction,
even if we make our cars in future of hight
er material.
In speaking Of the lightness 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
substances, which will give US remarkably
light cars, far beyond anything we now
speak of practically. Just as wheelbar-
row is TO a 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
steam locomotion; in all probability the
necessary adhesion will soon be gained by
electricity.-New York Commercial Adver-
tlser.

A Cruel Trick

The desire Of young married people to
prevent the travelling public from ascer-
tanning that they are on their bridal tour
was sadly thwarted in the case of young
couple who recently came to this city to
spend their honeymoon. They were mar
ned in a small town in Connecticut and
started on their honeymoon on . special
train that Also carried large number of
the wedding guests to the nearest city No
sooner had the tram lefs the station than
huge piacards were noticed on the win
dows near which the happy couple sat.
They read, Jus. Married" Jus. Mar
ned" The travellers had a good laugh, in
which even the bride and groom felt
obliged to join. TEey did not laugh, how
ever, when they reached their hotel in this
city, as their franks were brought to their
rooms with printed placsrds just Mar

New York, the general went on to say, Is
now the happy hunting ground Of any
number of distinguished warriors who
are engaged in ordinary pursuits. You
meet them in or about the hotels or in
business places. Some live in New York
and some in the suburbs, but all have bust
ness in New York, and all are doing quite
well.
Gen. Slocum is familiar figure in Wall

years he managed a railro I'D through
Brooklyn. Within the past year he has
branched out. He secured control of an
old line running through populous part
Of the same city. Connected with it as
its continuation was a horse railroad
to Coney Island. Gen. Slocum bought
new rolling stock. He improved the facili-
ties in every manner possible. Then on
the road to Coney Island he substituted
electricity for horses. Lis cars run past
the Brighton Beach race track and to
Coney Island. They pass the parade

WIS Trying TO get the stigma that was laid

which is one that Gen. Grant is deserving
