REFLECTIONS OF THE GoAT.-How
doth The busy lnlle girl improve
each passing hour. By chewing
slabs of tolu gum, with all her
lawful power.
How cunningly she wals il up:
how quickly she turns II DER;
shifts it from port 10 starbOard,
then chews it more and more.
Who taught the little girl the
way to work her busy chin ? Who
showed her low to twist her jaws,
such weird gimaces lns
Who taught her deft prehensile
tongue the lasso's work TO dos To
corrall the elusive gum, and chew
and chew and threw. a.+l
All me, she learned The art at
school, matriculatloa day, and
hadn't learned a great deal more,
what time she came away.
Then let US all with heart and
will keep gum on hand to chew,
and find some occupation still, for
idle jaws to do.

THE NEJV YEAR.

Could we but glance the new year o'el
Its hidden depths unveil,
Look on the blessings safe in store,
Whose mercies never fail;
Could we but see the happiness
The new year seeks to give,
Our daily lives to cheer and bless,
How gladly would we live
Could we behold the grief and care,
The weary, painful strife
Allotted as our rightful share
In each new year of life
Could we anticipate the thcrns -
That in our pathway lie,
Before the smiling new year dawns
How gladly would we die
Yet, ignorant of all, we grope
With blind persistence, on;
Upheld by patient faith and hope,
Each daily task is won;
A new years burden unconccaled,
Our inmost hearts benumb,
But sorrows one by Que revealed
Are conquered as they come.

Some Facts About the Proposed Railroad
Of the Future.

Of the Future.
Chicago and ST. Louis are 10 be
connected by an electric railroad,
the first to be operated for pracii'
cal business purposes ever con-
siructed. A bill Is pending in the
U. s. States to gran, government
aid to the new enterprise, but
whether this Is obtained or not,
the line will be constructed. In
fact, il is already under way, and
is amply backed.
The line between the two cities
will be divided into twenty-five
sections of ten miles each, and will
be operated from power stations
located at coal mines belonging to
The company along the route.
The electric coach or car to be
run is a long, low compactly and
strongly built car of very light
weish,-i,s weight beng an i'm.
porlant feature III the economy OF
operation. The car has two pairs
Of driving wheels, each of which is
driven by separate and distinct
electric motor.
The entire weight OF the car,
with its passengers and of the two
motors, comes upon these two
pairs of driving wheels, and cOnse-
quently is all serviceable for adhe.
sion between The rails and the
wheels, through the agency OF
which The car is propelled. The
driving wheels are six feet in d.
ameter, and are estimated as ca
pable OF making a minimum OF 500
revolutions a minute, which would
give the car speed of more than
100 miles an hour. ''''
The-top of the electric car will
be only nine feet from the rail
which is three feet lower than the
ordinary street car. The center Of
gravity is thus brought very low
| and quite near to The track. prac
,ically eliminating the possibility
of the car jumping the track. The
front of the car is wedge shaped
and will cut the ar in a way tc

Manufacturers are not particularly wor-
ried because of the impending idleness.
Many Of them, and in fact nearly all OF
them, have surplus earnings that can be
used in paying current expenses and will
also be drawn on to pay quarterly divi-
dends.
There are many of the mills that need re /
pairing, and after the long season Of pros
perity that has closed so abruptly the re 4
pairs will be made more willingly and ex-
tensively.
The shutdown will not be as hard on the
operatives as at first thought. according to
See. Howard, who in an interview on tho
sit uation says:
The shutdown will be welcome to most
of the operatives if it doesn't extend over
four weeks. They have been working very1
steady and tremendously of late years,
and a great many of them tell me they
would like to have rest during the warm
weather. Quite few of them have been
putting money in the bank in anticipation
of this kind of times.
Il believe it is good move to shut down
once in a while, for reason that seems
clear to me. The mill people here are not
like the mill people in small country towns.
They 20 out on the streets and off on ex-
cursions, and they want to dress as well as
the people they see If their wages are
not cut down and they know they are going
to have work in a short time. they spend
their money freely for clothes and good
living. If they were in country towns the
men could 60 around in overalls, and the
" omen would wear the simplest kind OF
calico dresses.
81 never dread shutdown in the sum
mer time for my people, and it has been
shown me by long experience that shut
down of two weeks is better for trade than
| cutdown of 10 per cent for year. A
treasurer of big concern met me few
days ago and said to me:
| '''Howard, these things look bad for you
| suppose you wouldn't stand cutd0wny
ave talked little while, and he con
tinued It's fact that the people hert
have worked better in the mills for the last
two years than they ever did before
| Now, say the reason they've worked
better is because their wages have beer
| good, and because the talk Of cutting dOwI
has not been heard"
| See. Howard ventured the prediction tina
business would be great deal better mex
October than the present outlook woult
lead people to believe.

We had our ears, noses and fingers friz,

it was no use. That was the blizzard of
