Enormous Enterprises.

The advancing years seem to produce an
increase rather than diminution in the
number of gigantic schemes. We have all
heard of the scheme for expendiDg SAC. .OOO,-
600 in the construction of monster dam
in the vicinity of Newfoundland that
would turn the Gulf Stream back on it
self and give New England tropical eli
mate, so that the Granite State boys could
climb palm trees to shake off the sueculent
cocoanut on their own bleak hillsides,
while the Rhode Islanders would offer
scant encouragement TO the peripathetic
Italian banana vender, as each and all of
them would have banana tree in close
proximity to his own back porch.
A.mOre recent scheme is the brldging of
the English Channel between Dover and
Calais 1t is said that this scheme has
gone so far that a company has been form
ed to secure the necessary concessions
from the British and French governments.
The cost of this bridge is something like
$240, 900 600.
The latest scheme is for roofing London
and other large cities, and thus doing
away with the umbrella trust. The pro-
jector has not yet considered any such
vulgar and insignificant detail as the mat
ter of cost, and hence has not enlightened
the public on this point.
Such schemes are, adds the 4merican
artisan. of course, largely visionary; but
they indicate tendency to grapple with
the most stupendous undertakings that is
in manner characteristic of the nervous
and progressive age in which we live.

THE CITIZEN
How Mail Clerks Assist the NOR

The railway postal clerks have a unique
says contemporary, for learning
the routes on whicn post offices are located.
Take, for example, the State of Pennsyl-
vania. in which there are over 5000 offices.
The prospective mail distributor buys a
quantity of blank cards-about the size o.
the ordinary visiting card-aHd on each OF
these he writes the name of an office. On
the back of the card he writes the name of
the route by which the office is served with
its mail, Taking in hand package OF
these cards-say from 90 to 1Q0-he goes
over them one after another studiousiy,
looking at the back each time and getting
the name of the route clearly as sooiated in
his mind. The second time he goes through
the pack he finds that be knows the half OF
the route by reading the name OF the office.
1t is a dull student who upon going over
a pack of cards a dozen times does not
know them thoroughly. The method is so
simple and such an aid to memorizing that
it is adopted by all railway mail clerks
By it clerks have been known to memorize
State like Pennsylvania inside of two
months.
On all large rou,es clerks work bat half
time the other half being devoted to rest
and study. The mail clerk at home, con
tinually reminded of coming examinations,
carries his cards wherever he goes, coming
over them at every opportunity. One de-
monstratiye clerk on the New York and
Pittsburg r. P. o. is famed for having
learned the State of Ohio in four days. As
he shuffied over his cards he walked from
garret to cellar, and visa versa, from dawn
until the shades of twilight fell. On the
fourth day he went to the examiners office
and separated Ohio without an error.
1t is related that the wife of a postal
clerk adopted the card method for increas-
ing her vocabulary in French. On one side
OF the cards she wrote the French word and
OH Il le other the English equivalent to be
learned. Another lady, hearing of this
used the same system successfully for learn
ing mythology, placing the word MARS, J"
for instance, on pne side Of the card and
"war" on tbs ulner. The method has so
many advantages over The old and tedious
way Of learning from the pages of book
that it might be utiiizsd with advantage by
teachers in search # imparting instruction.

Pennsylvania the rramp's Paradise.

Josiah Flint has an interesting paper on
tramp life in The Century for this month.
he joined the tramp fraternity and travel
ed, begged, smoked, and went to jail with
them, all for the purpose of studying the
tramp problem. After showing that most
of the tramps follow their vagrant and
vagabond life from choice, Mr.. Flynt says
Of that Canaan of vagrants which a false
benevolent sense has made of certain parts
of this State.
II is in Pennsylvania, however, the
tramp is best fed. | do not know of
town or village in the Keystone State where
a decently clad roadster cannot get all
that he cares to eat, without doing stroke
of work in payment. He can travel, too,
more freely than elsewhere, for the rail-
roads intersecting the State are the most
friendly in the country. There IS not one
that does not harbor dead beats at least al
night. The jails are also great bond t
the fraternity. In the majority of then
there is no work to do. while some furnish
the daily papers. Consequently, in winte
one can see tramps sitting comfortably OF
on benches drawn close to the fire, anC
reading their morning paper, and smoking
their after breakfast pipe, as compiaeentil
and calmly as the merchant in his count
ing room. Here they find refuge from tn
storms of winter and make themselves en-
| tirely at home"

How TO Keap CIDER Sweet.

Pure, sweet cider, that is arrested in the
process of fermentation before it becomes
acetic acid, or even alcohol, and with car
bonic acid gas worb,d out, is one of the
most delightful beverages. The following
scientific method Of treating cider will pre-
serve its sweetness: When the saccharine
matters b fermentation are being converted
into alcohol, if bent tuUe DC inserted air
tight into the bung, with the other end in
pail of water, to allow the carbonic acid
gas evolved to pass off without admitting
any air into the barrel, beverage will be
obtained that is TIT nectar for the gods.
A handy way is to fill your eask nearly up
to the wooden faucet, when the cask is
rolled so the bung is down. Get common
rubber tube and slip it over the end of
the plug in the faucet, with the other end
in the pail. Then turn the plug SO the
cider can have communication with the
pail. After the water ceases to bubble,
bottle or store away.

examined it and thought it was the best
invention ever made. He was told that

was making 80 barrels of flour a day If
this be true it will not be long before the
