The Humorous Side.

There never was an event so solemn
or an occasion so doleful that it did
not have a funny side to it. After
due regard has been paid to the
proprieties, look always for the fun
in a thing, even if your best girl runs
away with another man and marries
him on the eve of your wedding day.
In the most miserable time of your
life keep this humorous side before
you. 1t will make life lighter and
more prosperous. 1t will help you
throw off the blues sooner, and as
soon as you can throw off the blues
courage and hope will come back to
you. With courageand hope you will
be ready to face the tiends of i'll luck
and try again. A sense of humOr has
made many mans fortune, and kept
both men and women from madness
and suicide.
A sense Of humor is conducive to
good digestion, and we are told now
by the doctors that it is the chronic
dyspeptics who are most apt to
"catch" cholera. A sense of humOr
will therefore keep off the cholera.
Fate has not done her worst for a
man as long as he is gifted with a
funny bump. There is fun in the
world, and he will always see it, no
matter what happens, and will always
gather friends about him because Of
this merry, sunny disposition. If
you have not the sense of humOr,
cultivate it. If you will not Go that,
go and shut yourself away from your
fellow men and live in a coffin, for
nobody wants you around.

A Great Locomotive.

With each successive year it seems
as though the limit had been reached
in the construction of locomotive
giants, and yet each year brings forth
some bigger monster, capable Of
still higher speed. Engine 9o3, of
the New York Central road, which
runs the Empire State express. is
simply wonder. So big is it that
the engine of two decades ago looks
almost like a toy alongside of it.
Talk about rapid transit, why, this
big fellow can and does 60, if neces-
sary, at the rate of seventy-siX miles
an hour. There is American rapidity
for you, No. 903 can get there"
with alacrity. Some details Of the
dimensions of this huge machine will
be interesting, especially to those
travellers who have occasion to cross
the state of New York in hurry.
For that matter, we are all travellers
nowadays and railroad experts.
The engine is built on the style of
the American eight-wheel passenger
engine, with cylinders 10 by q inches
and driving wheels with diameters
OF a tritle over seven feet. The
boiler has ,s2l square feet of heating
surface and carries a steam pressure
of $50 pounds to the square inch.
The total weight of the engine and
tender when loaded is POI 900 pounds.
This enormous weight is distributed
as follows: On the driving wheels,
81 600 pounds: on the trucks, 10000
pounds, and the remaining $4,000
pounds IN the weight of the tender.
The tender is, of course fitted with
water scoop, for the Empire State
Express has no time to fool around
water tanks. The water capacity is
1887 gallons. The tender can also
carry nearly seven tons of coal. In
hauling the train the schedule calls
for an average speed of tifty-two
miles an hour. The train usually
consists OF four cars, which together
with the engine and tender, weighs
nearly 100000 pounds.
1t takes lots of power to pull 5OO,-
ooo pounds along at the rate Of fifty
two miles an hour. On one occasion
the Indicator cards taken from test
running showed development Of
l,l2o horsepower. The engine was
then making seventy-six miles an
hour. For twenty miles that rate.
was kept up.

opposition to the trust. Samuel
Woolner, president of the new
company, says that within four
months they will be turning out 25,-
900 gallons of spirits daily, one-sixth
of the entire output of the trust.
The capital stock of the new company
is s1,O00,OO0 and Woolner has dis
covered a superior process by which
they can distil much cheaper than
the old trust. The new company is
meeting with much favor among
dealers who have been in the grasp
of the trust as if it can overcome
discrimination allowed the trust in
the matter of freight rebates, it will
prove formidable rival.
