! ELECTRICITY as d Motor.


That electricity is the motor of the
future cannot now be doubted, and it
is developing with a degree of rapidity
that is startling. 1t is now only the
accepted motor for street cars in cit
les and inland towns, but it is swiftly
advancing in rural sections by connect
ing important points in the country by
the rapid transit the trolley now furn-
ishes.
1t is evident from the progress of the
past year that our State will soon have
a complete network of electric rail-
ways for local accommodation, and they
will eventually be so interviewer as to
make continuous lines connecting all
the great centres of population and
business in the State. They need re-
strictions as to the use of public roads.
method of transit, and these should be
generously aided rather than hindered
by the laws
1t may now be accepted as assured
that the electric railways will soon
parallel the steam lines from every
city to suburban communities, but they
will not be serious encroachment upon
the patronage of the steam lines.
They will very largely multiply travel,
and the electric lines will have an
immense patronage chiefly created by
the increased facilities for rapid and
convient transit.
The electric railway is now the
method of transit that is in the closet
touch with the people. 1t is the
cheapest of all motors: it requires no
grading of road-beds: it can climb the
highest hills with ease and decend
them with complete control of speed,
and it goes into by-ways where the
steam line can never penetrate. 1t is.
in fact. the railway of the people, and
as much it should De literally eucour-
community into close relations with
the city, and thus open the most heart
some of rural lands into use for subur-
ban homes.
Beyond the proper protection of the
public highways, there is little need
for laws restraining the construction,
extension or connection Of electricity
railways lines. They are not to be
feared as monopolists, as rural lines
can be cheaply constructed anywhere.
and any effort to establish monopoly or
oppression must be perilous to those
who are foolish enough to attempt it.
The electric railway is the peoples
line; let it be as progressive as posi-
Philadelphia Times.

The Ever Ready Hairpin.

Not long since q Long Island girl
while driving friend to the station up
set the village cart and broke one of the
traces, which she deftly mended with a
hairpin and got her guest to the station
in time for the train. But as the smoke.
of the approaching locomotive showed
its white feather in the distance it was
discovered that during the accident the
friends dress had been torn quite off the
band.
Il cannot possibly go to town like
this!' she cried in dismay. holding up
several breadths with the gathers COM
pletely unripped. Ever equal to the
emergency, the fair Long Islander drew
out several hairpins from her braids,
shook back her flying tresses, ran one
hsirpin through half of the loosened
folds, made hook at the end so that it
could not slip, gathered up the rest on
another, fastened it in the same way,
secured the whole to the band with a
third, and finished just as the train came
steaming up, so that her visitor went on
her way rejoicing, none the worse for
her exciting experienee.-New York

The BABY Liked IT.

The hopelessness of combating indi-
vidual stupidity with the most enlight-
ened sanitary measures which the au-
thorities can provide was evidenced the
other day on a Grand street ferryboat.
A woman came into the cabin carrying a
baby of perhaps months and leading a
little toddler of about 2t years. Both chill
dren, as well as the mother. were COM
fortably clad, but the children's faces
were pasty and unhealthy looking, as if
unwholesome food and Ill ventilated
sleeping quarters were their portion.
The former undoubtedly was, for each
child was munching large slice of not
too ripenor too clean watermelon, bought
from one of the peddling fruit stands
which abound in that locality. The baby
in arms kept at his piece with his tooth
less gums until he had secured several
bits, which he swallowed with gusto.
Alarmed for the effect upon his tender
or at least youthful stomach, passen-
ger, another woman, approached the
mother.
aren't you afraid to let your baby
eat that? she asked, pointing to the fruit.
The woman looked upmystifed. "Oh,
he likes it," she said
''But it may make him sick, he is such
a young baby" persisted the other.
''Oh, no." answered the mother good
naturedly. 'tHe's used to it and
peaches" she added, with an air of pride
at his digestive prowess.
And the other woman could only re-
turn to her seat vanquished, while the
watermelon pursued its colicky way

The Author of "GulIiyer."

Between 1714 and 1925, for a dozen
years, Swift remained in Ireland, with
out intermission, altogether apart from
public life. At the latter date he went
to London, probably needing a change
of scene after the shock of Miss Van
homrigh's death and the grievous sense
he must have had that it was he who
had killed her, and it was then that
"Gulliver" was published. The latter
portions of it, which the children have
rejected, we are glad to have no space to
dwell upon. The bitterness, passion and
misery of them are beyond parallel. One
would like to have any ground for be-
lieving that the Houyhnhms and the rest
came into being after Stella's death, but
this was not the case. She was only a
woman and was not, after all, of such
vital Importance in the mans existence.
Withdrawal from the life he loved,
confinement in narrow sphere, the dis
appointment of a soul which felt itself
born for greatness and had tasted the
high excitements of power, but now had
nothing to do but fight over the choir
with his archbishop and give occasion
for hundred anecdotes in the Dublin
coteries, had matured the angry passion
in him and soured the sweetness of ma
ture. Few people now, when they take
up their 'Gulliver," go beyond Brob-
dingnag. The rest is like succession of
bad dreams, the confused miseries of
fever. To think that in deanery, that
calm seat of ecclesiastical luxury, with
in sound of the cathedral bells and the
choristers' chants, a brain so dark and
distracted and dreams so terrible should
have found shelterLMrs. Oliphant in

women's Influence Over Men.

1 do not believe a man was ever re-
formed by scolding or sarcasm. Tears
and repinings and complaints soon grow
to be an old story to him. He can find
more pleasure among his convivial COM
panions than he finds in such home.
Alas, that it should be SO.
Good women ought to study the art of
pleasing more than they do. No woman
can afford to fall back on her goodness
to reform man. 1t is dangerous ex-
pertinent and one that rarely succeeds.
The average man must be entertained.
A man who has been II hard drinker or
opium victim cannot suddenly give up
his vices without some stimulant to take
their place for time. A man accus-
toned to the excitement of gay company
cannot suddenly become satisfied with the
dullness and stupidity which many good
people allow to creep into their homes

He Was Not an Execution.

temper had some business attended to,
or pretended to be attended to, by a Cleve-
land firm, and do what he could by let
ter he could not get settlement. Final
ly he went there in person and settled
the matter.
"It's the worst ever saw" he said in
parting.

firm.
"But not as you have mine"
"Yes, quite the same"
"Oh, come off," exclaimed the dis
gusted Detroiter. "You can't stuff that
down my throat. If you had treated
very many people as you have treated
me, you would have been killed long
before ever heard Of you," and with
that burst of anger he walked out per

Boy choirs, trained as such singers are

many, were almost unknown in this
country 10 years ago and are not COM

choir boys voice to change. the consci-

GRAINS OF GOLD.

To hate is the same thing as to kill.
Worry is the friction in mans engine.
An evil thought is the mother of an
evil act.
Better bend the neck than bruise the
forehead.
Youth looks at the possible, age at the
probable.
Condemning other people will not
justify us.
Discomfort is the peg in your shoe
that hurts.
There are no eyes so sharp as the eyes
of hatred.
Don't 60 to sleep until you can forgive
everybody.
Peace of mind is the foundation of
real happiness.
People who borrow trouble never have
to go far to find it.
Don't neglect an opportunity to per-
form kind action.
When you try TO be good try to be
good for something.
No one is ever fatigued after the ex
ercise of forbearance.
Don't 60 where you would not have
your children follow you.
Many secretly seek themselves in what
they do, and know it Lot.
Frowns blight young children as frosty
nights blight young plants.
There is no bigger coward than the
man who is afraid to do right.
Don't step over one duty to perform
take them as they come.
Conscience is the voice of the soul;
the passions are the voice of the body.
Whatever sin has caused in the human
race, it will cause in you if not given up.
The man who deprives his brother of
a right is no better than the one who
robs his house.
Adversely is the trial of principle;
without it, man hardly knows whether

Education That Is Not Practical.

The folly of mechanical juggling with
figures is shown by the following recent
experience of school official In school
of 81 pupils of mixed grades the follow
ing question was asked: sit is now 10
minutes after 10. What time was it five
minutes ago." Nineteen out of the 3-
pupils failed to give correct answer. A
similar line of humiliating failures oc-
CURED when questions equally simple
were asked.
The trouble was not that the children
could not substract, but that they could
make no practical use of wat they had
learned. They could use figures with more
or less facility when told exactly how
to arrange them. When certain ''sums"
were set, a fair showing was made. But
the fact that the end of doing such me-
chanical work should be to master The
application of a principle to the practical
everyday affairs of life was far beyond
their rcomprehensions.- -BostonTraveller.

Farm horses almost invariably eat too
much hay Many farmers have no regu-

down forkful of hay almost every time
they enter the barn. AS result many
of these horses are eating from morning
till night, to the manifest disadvantage
of the haymow and the manifest disad-
vantage also of the horses, whose bodies
become distended, skins dry and coats
rough, while the digestive organs are
thrown out of gear, SO that the animals
