A Tribute to Whitman.

It was pretty sight to see the contin-
ual cluster of people in front of a Broad
way window opposite Union square, for
the window contained the portrait of
the "good gray poet" the late Walt
Whitman, and at the time all that was
mortal of him was being borne to the
little tomb of his own selection. This
was the tribute of the passing throng to
his Immortality. All day long the peo-
pie paused and looked and silently
passed on, nodding approvingly.
It was the walt of fifteen years ago
the hale, robust, leonine man, who
then sought the daily conpanionship OF
certain Washington street car driver,
and could be seen standing beside the
latter on the front platform discoursing
upon the philosophy Of life. The world
might reasonably envy that car driver,
who was not only permitted to love and
have the companionship of the poet. but
was himself highly esteemed for what
he was. They were often seen walking
in the fields and woods together.
The world has greatly changed toward
the poet since then, thanks to foreign
appreciation, and the dear old man went
to his simple grave known to all the cul
tured nations of the earth Nobody is
likely to contest his will, for he left be.
hind him only the record of an undying
love for all created things.-New York
Herald.

The Use az the Thumb. !

Our humOristss seem to fade early.
Mark Twain Has abandoned fun
making in the pfosaic effort to be-
come a millionaire. A dozen years.
ago one OF the brightest OF the good
humored satirisb was Bob Burdette
but ever since the death OF the cit
tie princess ehas been almost en-
tirely silent; gone to preaching, it is
said. Still, he bubbles over OCCASION
ally, and his lastsis the discovery of
mans thumb as n preventive OF
profanity. When a fellow pounds
his thumb with a taca hammer or
jams it bet ween two joints of stove
pipe, says Bob, he incontinently stuffs
the injured member in his mouth,
thereby stopping the flow of cuss
words. This is neutrality-suspicious., but
so far from having any use for his
thumb as a profanity--stopper, the
man who selects the Burlington as
his line for Il railroad ride could be
without thumbs. The road bed is SO
smooth, and the equipments and
accommodations so superb that the
passenger is always OF tranquil mind.

An Automatic CutOut,


An new design in automatic cutouts
for electric lighting instruments has re-
Gently been brought out. The instru-
ment is so arranged that the current
passing through the solenoid attracts
core which is attached to an arm about
which it swings. When the current ex-
ceeds certain limit the core is drawn
into the solenoid and raises a lever,
which in turn releases the switch and
opens the circuit. If, as in the case of
stationary motors supplied from central
stations, the current is sudd emily cut off
when changing from one machine to
another, the circuit is automatically
opened by the tension spring which en-
/ cages the small lever by withdrawing
the core from the solenoid and thereby
raising the lever. which releases the
switch the same as when overloaded.
The tension spring is so arranged that
it can be made to open the circuit for
any predetermined amount Of current
One of the main features of the cutout
is that it does away with all fuses,
which is usually:a large item of expense
in central stations. 1t can readily be ap-
piled to railroad circuits by using mag
netic blowouts at the switch contact.
The cutout has been given practical
tests and found to work very satisfac-
torily.-New York Telegram.
