Better to suspect that thou art proud than bo

Better to walk the real unseen than watch the

An electrical journal asks whether
some one cannot discover way to
prevent the slipping of street car
wheels, and thus remove a factor of
danger In the operation of street cars,
especially In winter. The cold and
snowy rails are responsible for many
of the collisions and other casualties
which occur during the winter sea-
son. The motormen claim that the
custom of sprinkling salt ON the rails
to melt the snow and ice thereon Is e
good one to that extent, but bad
one In that when the salt becomes
crushed and pnlxerized it makes the
rails slippery as before In fhemean-
time there is the chance of fortune
for the inventor who has the luck to
hit on the right remedy.

Two boats rocked on the river
In the. shadow of leaf and tree.
One was in love with the harbor;
One was in love with the sea.
The one that loved the harbor
The winds OF fate outbore,
But held the other. longing,
Forever against the shore.
The one that rests on the river.
In the shadow of leaf and tree,
With wistful eyes looks ever
To the one far out at sea.
The one that rides the billow,
Though sailinsffa fair and feet,
Looks b,O TO the peaceful river.
To the harbor safe and sweet.
One frets against the quiet
OF the moss grown, shaded shore:
One sighs that II may enter
That harbor nevermore.
One wearies of the dangers
OF tha tempcst's rage and wall:
One dreams amid the lilies
OF faroH snowy sail.

Heredities.

Heredities.
We polish over many things
And try to get them out Of view.
We seek to curb their innate springs
And change them in their native hue.
We educate the intellect
And cultivate a perfect taste
That we may hold our heads erect,
With souls subdued. refined and chaste,
But edicts from a social throne,
However iordly. great and stout,
Must leave the breeding in the bone
They cannot force the marrow out,
For breeding and environment
Form cultures measure and extent.
