L ROADS IN ENGLAND.
The sytem Upon Which the Liver
pool Road is Constructed.

No such misgivings need apply to
the case of the new railway at Liver
pool. In size and power, as we'll as
in the ingenuity of its details, it sur
passes the best American models.
1t extends along the quays of the
great line of docks of the Mersey for
nearly seven miles, It's carriages
are of full size, not arranged like a
tramcar, but like the ordinary pas
senger car of the United States, each
being in two compartments and
capable of seating fifty-seven per-
sons. Beneath each car is an cleo
trio motor of from one hundred to
seventy horsepower, and the speed
will be as high as thirty miles an
hour. The power to work the trains,
and with them the accessories of sig
nails and light, is the same and gen
Grated from single point on the
system. The whole runs upon an
overhead railroad" or continuous
bridge of iron. That is not, how
ever, the essence of ali electric rail-
way, though the lightness of cleo
trio rolling-gea makes such an ar
rangement cheap and suitable for
the purpose.
The two electric lines now con-
templated are short and confined to
the west of London, one being de-
signed to run from Shepherds Bush
to the city and the other across
Hyde Park to Paddington. But if
the suburban lines could be made to
center at some common point, such
as Earl's Court in the west, meeting
city traffic conducted solely by
electricity, the gain in comfort and
convenience to the travelling London
public could hardly be over-rated.
Instead of hundreds of steam loco
motives, exhaling gases which do
not support life, and are so far in
furious to life and adding to the
din, which is an almost greater
agent in London wear and tear than
foul air itself, the traffic would be
inodorous and inaudible. The ease
of stoppage and lightness of the
trains are both guarantees of safety
either in preventing or mitigating
accidents, and with greater safety
secured, the number of trains run
would be increased. With such adj
vantages in its favor, it cannot be
long before the electrical motor
supersedes the steam engine fol
urban traffic, and the success of the
Liverpool railroads will in every
sense be London's gain.--Loudon

A Curious Will.

The will of Andrew Clark, which
was yesterday filed for probate, is a
rather curious document. The four
sheets on which it is written are pin
ned together with burnt matches.
His estate, valued at 5000, is left to
his widow, with the exception of a
$1,000 bequest to his niece and
nephew One clause of the will is
as follows:
81 would request the Probate
Court to let the will stand as it is. |

The following choice bit of word painting
nrrnr. in law thnrnG,s Marhle Eaun:

The following choice bit of word painting
occurs in Hawthornc's Marble Fam:
"Women be they OF what earthly rank
they may, however gifted with intellect or
genius, or endowed with awful beauty, have
always some little handiwurk ready TO fill
the tiny gap of every vacant moment. a
needle is familiar to the fingers OF them all.
A queen, no doubt, plies it on occasion; the
woman poet can use it as adrotly as her
pen; the woman's eye, that has discovered
Il new star, turns from its glory to send the
polished little instrument cleaning along
the hem of her kerchief, or to darn casual
fray in her dress. And they have greatly
the advantage Of us in this respect. The
slender thread of silk or cotton keeps them
united with the small, familiar, gentle in
terests of life, the continually operating in
tluences Of which do so much for the health
of the character, and carry OIL what would
otherwise be dangerous accumulation OF
morbid sensibilty A vast deal of human
sympathy runs along this electric line,
stretching from the throne to the wicker
chair of the humbleSt seamstress, and
keeping high and low in ii species of com
munion with their kindred beings"
Housewives, while you ply the needle,
have you ever reflected on the vicissitudes
of life? See to it that your husbands pro-
vide for the future welfare of their families
by at once applying for Policy in the
EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE So
GETTY of the United States. No more
suitable gift could be offered to you.

virile country at large put up with
this without a protest New York

In one Of our fashionable boarding
schools for young ladies, the principal,
who inherits some Puritan blood, has
interdicted all current literature ex-
cept ''The Iron Age" She says that
everything else has gone over to
skirts. Even the daily papers have q
skirt department of literature. in
which men and women artists devote
their souls day and night to portraying
and describing petticoats, chemisettes
and hosiery. This stalwart New Eng
land principal says that she doesn't
know what the effect OF all this is up
| on the men, but she contends that the
influence is ruinous upon young girls,
and so she tries to correct it by making
them read the only paper that at this
moment hasn't booming skirt depart
ment. She says that if her young
women found out that the whole
American public was ravening after
| drapery they would get an utterly fatal
| idea of the supreme Importance OF hair
cloth and garters and lace.
| 1 don't pretend to know how true
this is, but do pretend to know what
the effect of the voluptuous cyclone is
upon some of the virile followers who
are left. The effect is one of intoler-
able ennui. They are bored to death
with silken fiutter. They feel that
they are lost in fog of tulle and they
take up the "Iron Age" or Practical

lief that comes to man when he
