PAGERS GROWING IN FAVOR.
Fast superseding Trotters In the Drivers
Fancies.

(Western Breeder)
The increasing popularity OF the PAGER
is shown by the fact that out Of thirty
nine newcomers In the list this year
fifteen are OF the lateral-galted variety.
This Is a very great change from the con,

Then the taste OF the people did not run

and discourage them. Now most drivers
want at least one PAGER. and many OF
them prefer PAGERS to trotters. 1t Is said
that the preference to trotters which so
largely prevailed was due to a consid cradle
measure to the influence OF Robert Bon
ner This may be true. but we believe the
preference for the trotter is one OF much
more antiquity than this fact would,
taken by itself. indicate. 1t would
scarcely have been possible for any one
man IN this country 10 have formed the
national taste. We believe that the more
probable cause OF this preference was the
fact that when the present system or har-
ness-racing was inaugurated in the East
trotting-horses were found in greater
abundance, and were. therefore. used in
great numbers on the track.
The preference for one gait rather than
the other is largely a matter OF individual

would not stay in these races. This has
been discovered TO De mistake. DouDt-

Awards for Electrical Papers in
1898.

Another opportunity is given TO
American inventors and engineers
to compete for foreign prizes in
the programme of the Societe In
dustrielle de Mulhouse of awards
to be made in 1895 for papers and
designs. Communications are to
be addressed to the President Of
the society by February 10, 1895.
One paper is TO deal with the COM
parative expenditure of an electri-
cal installation and Of gas works,
having to serve in each case a
population Of 10000 The points
specially covered will be: CD Costs
of installation Of the central sta
ton and of the gas works,
of the electrical distribution, and
the mains from the generators to
the house; % cost of coal required
for producing power in the gener-
ating station and gas in the gas
works, and l3) the working eXpen-
ses and maintenance in each case.
A special chapter is to be devoted
to a detailed estimate of the eX-
penses and receipts resulting in
the case of the gas works and Of
the value of the by-products of
distillation. Another chapter will
treat of the photometric value of
gas jets for given consumption,
and the number of electric lamps
which would be substituted for
them. A prize will be given for
any application OF electricity in the
printing industry, and one for
a registering pyrometer which
will determine the temper
ature of gaseous products
in the flue of the steam boiler
between the limits of 300 degrees
and 500 degrees. An award will tie
made for an electric motor capable
of developing power and a variab @
speed at will. The power of the
motor is to be ten horse power or
less. One of the prizes offered is
for a simple and practical method
of connecting armature coils to the
commutator segments Of dynamOs {;
the system must allow Of the easy
and rapid change of the commuta-
tors of dynamos, and other points
of improved practice, and the paper
must enumerate the advantages
and inconvenience of the systems
already in use, and compare them
with the new method.

Young Woman Banker of Missouri

Miss Comstock, who is president
of the Comstock Banking company,
OF Green City, Mo-, and cashier of
the Comstock Castle bank, Of Green
Castle, Mo-, is probably one of the
youngest bank officers in the coun-
try. She entered the bank at
Green City in March, 1889, as as
sistant cashier and bookkeeper,
which position she filed in all its
various duties. In September, 1892,
the owners of that bank organized
one in Green Castle, when they
made Miss Comstock president of
the old bank and cashier of the
new one. AS the president and
directors of the latter bank live at
some distance from it, Miss Com
stock has the real work Of the bank
to do, and despite the heavy re-
sponsibility she is interested and
successful in her work.

longer tacks iniure the spring.
Always fasten the round hold

the window.
Always place roller in brackets,
with shade rolled up.
To strengthen the spring draw
the shades down few revolutions
remove roller from brackets, roll
up shade and replace.
If the spring is too strong, re-
move roller from bracks with shade
rolled up, unroll a few turns and
replace.
If the shade is tackled on proper

To sh orten a roller for window
with inside shutters, measure
from tip or spring side and allow

then roll freely in the bracket.
Always see that roller is cut

Eggs were never more plentiful nor
cheaper during the Easter season than
they are at the present time.
They sold for Ia cents dozen to.
day. The reason assigned for the
superabundance of eggs at this time
OF year is the extraordinary mlldness
of tho weather, particularly during
the present month OF March, when
the weather has been unprecedented.
Eggs have been plentiful since the
ilrst OF january. and the supply has
steadily increased since that date.
Most OF the eggs used this Easter
come from points in the interior of
Pennsylvania. Because they are SO
plentiful there las been no necessity
for getting the boxed eggs from the
western sta 'cs.
This time last year eggs sold whole
sale Mt 10 cents per dozen and retail at
about 20 cents per dozen.-Phiiadul.
