All Railways to BE Trolless.

All railroads will be eventually operated
electrically. Tho first changes from steam
will probably be made and have, in fact,
already begun, on short suburban roads
where the traffic is heavy and tho trains
are run at frequent intervals, and thus ap-
proximatc more closely to the ideal condi-
tions of the economical electric railway.
These electric spurs will then be gradual
~ extended until In the course of time the
entire line will be adapted to the new order
of affairs, and u new generation of railroad
officers, less welded TO the other methods,
will have come into existence. So far as
new, light railways are concerned, such as
those contemplated In England at the
present time, and which are rapidly In
crcasing in the United States, electricity
presents advantages which cannot be dis
putcd. 1t has even been suggested that
such agricultural roads might largely in
crease their income by supplying electric
power for farming operations in the dis
tricts through which they pass. Some
trolley roads do this now.-Scribner's

FURs IN RUSSIA.
They Are Used For Innings, and Sealskin
Is Not q Eavorite.


Tho foreigner visiting Russin finds that
he must reconstruct his ideas about furs.
If he DO an American, his first discovery Is
that his favoritc sealskin Is out of the racc
entirely. No Russian would pay the price
which Is given for scalskin In return for
such a "cold fur" nor would he wear 1t
on the outside for display, while it would
be too tender to use as n lining. Scaskin
is good only for short jackct between
seasons for walking, and if one sets out on
foot in that garb she must return on foot :;
she would be running u serious risk If she
took carriage or Il sledge.
All furs arc used for linings-in short

the fur next his skin, us tho original own
or of the pelt did. Squirrel Is 'cold, -

skin obtained by piccing together sable
paws. The cheapest of the downy furs,
which are proper for tho climate, Is the
brown goat. Next come the various
grades of red fox fur-those abundantly
furnished with hair, where the red is pale
and small in area, and the gray patches
are large and dark, being the best.
The kuni, which was the unit of curren-
cy In olden days and was used by royalty,
is the next in value, and is costly If dark
and with tough lightweight skin which
Is an essential item of consideration for the
necessary large cloaks. Stables, rich and
dark, are worn by any ono who can afford
them, while the climax of luxury Is at

silky curly white Tibetan goat and the
thick straight white fur of the psetz make
beautiful evening wraps for women under
velvet, and arc used by day also, though
they are attended by tho Inconvenience Of
requiring frequent cleaning
Cloth or velvet is the proper covering
for all furs, and the colors worn for driv-
ing are often gay or light. A layer Of
wadding between the fur and the covering
adds warmth and makes the circular
