A Novelty In Trolleys.

In recent electric road construct
ed in England a radical departure
from American methods has been
made. A trolley wire is suspended
from arms projecting from steel
columns. No guy wires are EN-
ployed, as the steel wires are especial
ly designed to Withstand severe
strains. At the corners the trolley
wire, instead of following a curve Of
the same radius as the track, as IN
the American systems, il turned on
an angle, the whole system depend
ing on the fiexibility of the trolley
arm, or side collector, as it called
which automatically engages the
trolley wire in any position from zto
IL feet from the side of the car. An.
other change from American prac,.
tice is the adoption of pressure o.
only $50 volts. The cars are only q
feet long and are equipped with two
motors of 15-brake horsepower run
ming at 400 revolutions. New YORK

A Deflnition For the Art Of poc.oring.

1t is the individuality of cases, the
fact that to one patient we must give
a teaspoonfrl of medicine, while the
next will take two, that is at the basis
of the ultimate failure of all cure
alls." And, oddly enough, it is this
very individuality of cases, bringing
with it to the physician SO many
hours of anxious thought, that makes
him reach out and welcome the new
treatment.
He is so terribly anxious to relieve
his patients, to do them good, that in
the blind maze of uncertainty in
which he finds himself he halls with
delight anything that promises hope
fully. The practice of medicine
might be defined not unfairly as
succession of conundrums presented
for solution, with death to the pa
tent as the penalty for failure. Who,
then, may blame the physician for
welcoming that which calls itself the
key9 1t is the fashion to blame physi-
clans for their ready adherence to
the new, but it is an unjust fashion
when the facts are considered. -Cy-
rus Edison, M. D., in North American
Review.

Falcons as Messengers,

The experiments of Colonel Smoi.
Ion of the Russian army with fall
cons as carriers of dispatches have
proved successful, and the Russian
army hereafter will employ them in
preference to ordinary "homing"
birds. The colonel has found that
the falcon can carry 1,640 grams
without diminishing its rate of speed
which is considerably greater than
that of the pigeon. The falcons, he
says, are less likely to fall prey to
other birds as they are better fighters
than the pigeons. 1t is on record
according to the officer, that falcon

The chlnaman In the Househo,d.

As servants the Chinese are very
capable in many respects and very
undesirable in others. They never
gossip about the affairs of family
that employs them. They learn
whatever it is desired they should
know, acquiring skill with apparent
ease by means of their wonderful
power of imitation. They are per-
fectly willing to do every sort Of
hol1sework, and the average servant
will act as cook, chambermaid, laun-
derer and waiter all for one salary.
They cannot bear to be ordered
about by women. They will takeany
amount of scolding or fault finding
from a man and none from woman.
In two cases of which ! heard the
Chinese servants chased their mis-
tresses out of their houses with axes
A very vexatious thing is that they
never give warning when they are
going to leave a place. They sud.
denly announce, me want to go,
and the utmost questioning is not
likely to elicit any more than Me
want to go; me tired. Julian Ralph
in Harper's Weekly.

The Blue Glass Fad.

Perhaps the queerest fad of modern
times was that which placed the elixir
of life in blue glass. That the color
of light has certain influences on life,
especially life of the lower sort as in
plants, is a fact. Plant life is IN
doubtedly affected by the color Of
light, and animal life needs light. If
an animal be deprived of light, it will
become what is called an8mic, but
exactly why no one knows. Reason.
ing from the observed effects of blue
light upon some plants, the inventor
of the fad prescribed baths under
blue glass for all.
You were to strip yourself, l re
member, and lie down under the blue
glass for many hours each day. And
the queerest thing about the whole
business was the fact that some of
the devotees not only declared them
selves benefited by the treatment so
long as they believed in it, but were
unquestionably so benefited. say
so long as they believed in it, for
do not think there are many-if in
fact there be one-who bathes in blue
light now.-Cyrus Edison, NJ D., in

Count To,stoi,s Views of Poetry.

Count Leo Tolstoi has received in
Moscow visit from an aspiring
young Russian poet, who had pre-
viously sent a copy of his productions
to the great romancist and phlloso
pher. At this interview the count
said; II have read your book, or at
least the greater part of it. But !
must tell you at once, and frankly,
that entertain a general dislike to
all poetry, and for this reason-that
it prevents one from giving clear,
intelligent and comprehensive expires
sion to ones thoughts and ideas, Why
should we laboriously strain to con
form our expression to the rhyth
mical and metrical rules of versitica-
ton when we can the better and
more clearly convey our thoughts in
simple and lucid prose2 1t is as if, in
stead of permitting me the free use
of my limbs, you tether my legs and
make me hobble around the object of
observation.
I'm order to be succlnct, concise and
comprehensively expressive always
strive so to construct my language
that every reader, even he of the
scantiest intelligence, can, without
the slightest trouble or reflection,
at once grasp my meaning. If ]
wrote in verse, my primary and dis
tracing labor would be to conform
to the laws and rules of versiication,
and my readers would be left to sift
out for themselves the thoughts and
ideas l wished to convey. If may
be perfectly frank with you, said the
count, with peculiarly bitter ex-
preston on his face, Il would say
that verses are generally the produc,
ton of literary wantonness, literary
frivolity and literary insolence. y

Giving Edo nm Airing.

A new and rather emil arrassing oc-
cupation has been found for domes-
tic servants. 1t seems that young
woman who is engaged as maid at
tendant" at a salary of f2 a month
is sometimes called upon to take her
mistress dog out for walk in the
streets at 12:45 in the morning.
Such at least was the story told by
an aggrieved plaintiff at the city of
London court, and it is hardly sur
prising that she declined the duty of
personally conducting the pet at
such an hour. Thereupon she was
discharged, but her mistress said
that the reason of her dismissal was
her excessive insolence."
The learned commissioner in the
result held that the servant could
claim a months wages, but the deli
cate question of dog law which had
been raised in the course of the case
was unfortunately not decided. It
therefore still remains moot point
whether it is permissible to ask
Mary Jane to take Fido for walk
before bedtime, and, if so, whether
what is reasonable at 10 or IL o'clock
becomes unreasonable couple of
hours later. Perhaps the best solu
ton would be to let Fido take walk
by himself and defy the dog stealers.

The PrlmevaI Atmosphers.

An article by DR.. Phipson in The
Chemical News contains a bold sug-
gestion that at remote periods the at
mosphere contained a very large
amount of carbonic acid, and, in fact,
consisted principally of that gas, nj
trogen and vapor of water. The crust
of the earth may thus have possibly
cooled and solidified in an atmosphere
containing large proportion of car
bonic acid In volcanic regions enor-
nous quantities of this gas are still
given off, and the hypothesisis large
ly supported by the important part
which carbonic acid is known to play
in the formation of many crystals.

For wearers Of Diamond stud..

When the last race had been run
and the result announced at Latonia,
there was big rush for the train
standing opposite the grand stand.
In trice the cars were filed and the
platforms crowded.
The train had just started when a
man on one of the forward cars con-
vulsively clutched at his shirt bosom,
and then the air was rent with that
old squeal, my studs have been
pinchedl" and a well dressed man
slid off the train, which passed rap
idly on, leaving him standing on the
end OF the platform. His name was
not learned by the reporter.
Detectives Rohan of Chicago and
Crawford and Schnucks were stand
ing on the platform of another car
and soon heard of the little episode.
They went through the train, but
could recognize no dips and SO could
do nothing.

tective Rohan, that if any one has
got good stone, which is the same
as money, he should take care of it.

The Matter of Faith In Being Cured.

If you could persuade people to be-
lieve that the application of cats
tail to a rheumatic limb would cure
them, it is beyond a question that
such an application would do them
good. On this, then, rests many of
the stranger fads of practice, such as
the faith cure, directly and indirect
ly, the grape cure. the milk cure, the
water cure, the rest cure, and in fact
nearly all of the cure alls. As in the
water cure, some of these have dis
tinctly hygienic conditions which en-
