Novel Railway Device.

Successful use appears to be made of
the novel automatic device lately in
troduced on some of the German rail-
ways for ascertaining and definitely in
dicating defects existing in the track.
The principle Of the apparatus, as ex-
planned, is based on the fact that every
low point or other similar defect on
the line of the track causes a shock of
greater or less intensity in a car passing
over it. The arrangement of the appa-
ratus in the inspection car is such that,
if the shock exceeds a certain degree Of
intensity, a squirting device is brought
into operation, and from which either
a red or a blue liquid IS sprayed over the
roadbed, making stripes from 1 foot to
Z feet long and about 2 inches wide
the track sections requiring any atten-
ton being thus very plainly marked.
Such an apparatus, it is said, locates
defects not ordinarily detected by a
track walker and affords early and time
ly evidence of imperfections in the road
bed.-New York Sun.

the determination Of some gentlemen
of all three parties-Delnocrats. ReDub-
licans and Populists-to find politics
somewhere in some part of the silver
discussion. They had Il wonderful nose
for the political cat in every bag of meal
presented to them. 1t reminded HIM
of what happened in a certain poor re-
ligious congregation in England. The
congregation wanted to procure new
h~ymnbooks, but they were very pool
and could not afford to pay for them at
the ordinary prices. They understood,
however, that a certain great advertis-
ing house, a business house that made
patent medicines. was willing to fur
nish them hymnbooks at a penny each
if they would allow some advertisements
to be inserted in the books. They
thought that would be no special harm,
that they might nave a few e of
advertisements bound up with Watts
and Doddridge. They agreed to the
proposition. The books came, duly
printed, and they got down to the
church on Dec. "a.
On Christmas morning the model
Christians, who had no thought of any
thing but religion, got up to sing.
Their pastor gave out by the first line
a very familiar hymn. Immediately
the congregation arose to their feet and
in a few seconds were aghast to find
themselves singing:
Hark! the herald angels sing:
Cure ems pills are just the thing.

Two for man and one for child.
