The Meaning of Trolley.

Most persons who use the word trolley
probably do not know the origin of this
term or why this name was given to that
apparatus by which the electricity is con
veyed from an aerial wire. Twenty years
ago the word was used to designate "a
form of truck which can be tilted, for. car
rying railroad materials or the like"
This is the only definition of the word
in Webster's dictionary of the edition Of
1S48 In the edition of 1899 of the same
work three other definitions are added.
l. ga narrow cart that is pushed by hand
or drawn by an animal" 1t is noted that
this meaning of the word Is in use in Eng
land, not in the United States. 2. "a
truck from which the load is suspended
on some kinds of cranes" This meaning
is technical, according to Webster, and
employed only in speaking Of machinery.
g. Electric railway "a truck which
travels along the fixed conductors and
forms means of connection between them
and railway car" 1t is easy to see how
the primitive form of the electric trolley,
which travels upon the wires, came to re-
ceive its name from its resemblance to 9th
er types of trolley, and the name having
been Immediately given to this primitive
form was naturally retained when the
method of connection was changed from a
little truck moving on wire to mast
having at its end wheel pressing on the
lower surface of the wire.-Detroit Free

Her Hopeless Ignorance.

The following conversation is an example
of my wife's hopeless ignorance Of salmon
fishing. One afternoon while l was out
several neighboring ladies CHANGED to call,
and as usual over their tea opened fire with
the usual query as to my sport on the river.
"Oh, yes" said her ladyship in an alb
stracted manner, my husband caught a
salmon yesterday"
"What size was it?" inquired one of the
fair visitors.
''Eleven feet long," was the reply.
There was of course much tittering at
this.
"Then it must have been IL inches long"
was the amended answer
Increased merrimeut cusued.
"Well," said my wife desperately, Il
know it was IL something. Perhaps it was
IL pounds. "-Blackwood's Magazine

after a few days-as soon as she had
worked out what l wanted to know-but
when / went there today found she had
moved, and none of the neighbors knew
where she had gone"
"Well, why don't you consult another
ciairvoyant and get track of herr" asked
the sergeant sympathetically.
"That's sol l never thought of that"

GROWING OLD.

The farcst lilies dr0op at cvontide,
The sweetest roses fall from OF the stem,
The rarest things ON earth can not abide,
And we are passing, too, away like them,
We're growing old
We had our dreams, those rosy dreams of youth;
They faded, and twas well. This after prime
Has brought us fuller hopes, and yet, forSooth,
We drop u tear now in this later time,
To think we're old.
We smile at these poor fancies of the past
A saddened smile almost akin to pain.
Those high desires, those purposes so vast,
All, our poor hearts, they cannot come again!
We're growing old.
Old? Well the heavens are old this earth is too;
Old wine is best, muturest fruit most sweet :;
Much have we lost, more gained, although It's
true
We tread lfe's way with more uncertain feet.
We're growing old.
We move along and scatter rs we pace
Soft graces, tender hopes on every hand.
At last, with gray-streaked hair and hollow
face,
We step across the boundary of the land

Young Mems Reform cub.

1t is reported that number of young
men met one evening last week and or
ganized what promises to be an impor-
tant factor in the coming campaign. A
club with a membership of over fifty
young men was formed who propose to
have hand in the election. The object,
so it is stated, is to vote for men whose
ability and integrity are unquestioned
and who will give the county and city
clean administrations. All party lines
are merged into the general good of the
community. Officers were elected who
will have the management during the
campaign and our informant states that
the members are seriously imbued with
the idea that they can exert good deal
of influence at the polls. Arrangements
have been made to hold a public meet
ing in the rear future and have addresses
by prominent speakers. 1t is rumored,
how true we cannot say, that red rib
bon will denote membership in the soci-
ety.
