WAsHlNGToN, Sept. 13.-Sccrctary
Carlisle is preparing to carry into effect
section . of the new tariff law Tor the
manufacture in bonded warehouses OF
materials imported and manufactured
for export. The new law cnlargcs the

600 people will be given employment in
different large American cities.

Origin of tho Term Trolley

Most persons who use the word ''trOl.
#. ley'' do not know tho origin Of this term
! or why this name was given to the appa.
ratus by which the electricity is conveyed
from an overhead wire. 1t is traced as fol.
lows by Golden Days:
Twenty years ago the word was used to
designate "a form of truck which can DO
tilted for carrying railroad materials or
tho like" This is the only definition OF
the word in Wcbsters dictionary Of the
edition of iS4S In the edition of 1899 Of
the same work three other definitions are
added: /. "A narrow cart that is pushed
by hand or drawn by an animal" j" 1t is
noted that this meaning of the word is in
use in England, not in the United States
2. "A truck from which the load Is sus'
pended on some kinds Of cranes. " This
meaning is technical, according to Web,
ster, and employed only in speaking Of
machinery. 3. '(Electric railway A
truck which travels along the fixed con-
ductors and forms means Of connection
between them and a railway car
1t Is easy to sccj how tho primitive form
of the electric trolley, which travels upon
the wires, came to receive its name from
its resemblance to other types OF trolley
and the name, having been Immediately
given to this primitive form, was natural
ly retained when the method OF connection
was changed from little truck moving
on wire to mast having ut Its emu
wheel pressing on the lower surface oi tho
wire. -.

The Mule and the Turtle.

"To the traditional antipathies Of the
animals" gossiped the planter from North
Carolina, must be added the mutual dis
likes Of the mule and the turtle. Whether
1t is the uncanny appearance or the subtle,
fishlike odor of the turtle I am unable to
say. But if he pops up his head from the
water in the same field where mule is at
work there will be no more plowing corn
that day. .--.--,---.- --.--,-, .-..-
II have known mules which would not
go near the brook for days because q turtle
had trailed off under the bushes when they
wers taken down to drink. And l have
seen them take the bit between their teeth
and break out of field on o dead run
when the scent of turtle was in the air.
There are some who believe that the
mules mistake terrapins for muskrats.
Nearly every plantation mule which has
worked by the waterside has been annoyed
by putting its hoof through the soil down
into the muskrat's winter home. And his
antipathy for the muskrat thus becomes n
question of experience if not of instinct. "

day bathing his hands and arms in ba-
sin full of cool water placed on top OF q
sea chest. Suddenly large rat jumped on
the chest beside him and looked up in his
face; then, placing its fore feet on the edge
of the basin, drank long and deep. AL
though usually trough on rats" the
writer says "he had not the heart to hurt
that one, for--to make use of nautical
term-"his coppers were hot" An &C.

me in Melbourne some years ago that one
evening, while sitting on his veranda,
with his old tom cat (nearly blind) close
beside him, largo rat came from under
the veranda, and going straight up to the
cat, first with one paw and then the other.
