The question to what extent the pneu- matic tire, so familiar on bicycles, will be adopted on the wheels of other vehicles is one of considerable Inter est. According to London scientific journal for cabs and broughams in English cities, the rubber tire, with an iron hoop outside, is steadily grow ing in favor, and thousands of them are seen. Since, even on the smooth wood and asphalt pavements of London, the rider knows at once whether his han som has elastic or rigid tires, the con- trast must be still more marked on macademized roads or streets paved with granite or cobble stones.

The centenary of George Peabody
 who was born at Danvers,. Massachu- setts, February IS, 1795, will be celebrat- ed at various places in this country and in England. The public gifts he be- slowed with such generous hand and wise discrimination amounted in all to $S 400, 900, including large sums to libra- ries, colleges, education in the southern States and model lodging-houses in London. He was his own executor and not one of his benefactions miscarried.

The movement to unite Newfound- land with the Dominion of Canada gains strength in the province, but is not regarded with so much favor in Canada. The question is raised whether Canada would not pay too dearly for the new acquisition, and good many Canadians seem to be answering that question in the affirmative. In taking Newfound- land, Canada must take the debt of that colony, which is about $1S,000,000, and would more than offset the income which Canada would receive from the colony for many years to come.

Railroad Wonders.

One never knows what to expect in rail-
way possibilities. Imagine the transporta-
ton of 500 tons of hot molten iron every
day on the Erie railway or on any other
line. Yet every day great pots of it are
transported from the Cleveland Rolling
Mills company's central blast furnace five
miles away, to the Newburg mills, where
it is utilized in manufacturing purposes.
Only Is minutes from the instant of
pouring to the instant of delivery, and eight
trips are made daily with this dangerous
freight. The hours chosen, however, for its
transportation, we are assured, are when
the tracks are clear and danger reduced to
the minimum. What next?-Albany jour
nal.

IN the shape of your back. Instead of
padding the top of the backs of your
dresses because the curves are low down
even with the bust line your dress
maker will be compelled to omit it and
fit the backs of your dresses to give
YOU more breathing space.
You will be on the road to acquiring
that fine shapely back which is the re-
ward of women who spend dollars in
gymnasiumS and swimming baths to
acquire it. Insist, moreover, that your
dresSmaker shall give you room across
the top of the backs of your dresses If
you do this your waist will seem more
slender by contrast.
When you acquire a back then you
may find yourself in the possession of
the stylish appearance you have long
wanted. -Philadelphia Times.

quite as many failures resulting
from the mating of grey hair
with middle age as from the nuptials
of eighteen with two and-twenty.

of their common youth that is a
fountain sealed at which they alone

youth hard knocks are born so
easily together; laughter is so apt

HUNTED DOWN.
BibuIous Persons In New Zealand Have =

BibulOus Persons 10 New Zealand Have =
Hard Time of 1t.
A New Zealand paper says that the
prohibition movement is assuming
awful proportions in New Zealand. 1t
is no longer a campaign against drink,
but against the individual drinker. In
the smaller towns the movement has
an eye on everybody, and if it considers
that any persons nose il too wildly
illustrated, or his breath is not up to
sample, some prohibition advocate
calls upon him. Then, having leaned
his black umbrella against the door
post, he extracts with his black-gloved
hand a notebook from the tail pocket
of his black coat and asks him what he
drinks. While he is waiting for an
answer he fishes out a pencil from his
black waistcOat and stands ready to
enter the name of the drink in his book.
II the information is not satisfactory
he most likely calls ON the woman
next door and asks if the suspected per-
son is ever seen intoxicated, if anyone
has noticed his breath, if he looks wild
on Saturday nights, if he comes home
late nights and has difficulty with his
keyhole, if he swears or makes a dis
turbance, if he is ever seen bringing
home drink, and various other ques-
TONS He notes down all the answers,
and demands whether the Intercepted
woman's husband is strictly sober, and
whether she has any suspicious con-
corning anyone else in the neighbor.
hood. Then he goes round to the back
and'looks over the fence to see if there
are any bottles lying about.

The Aim OF CnIisl's Work

Peace on earth" was the aim Of
Christ's work in this world. writes
Edward Bellamy in the January
Ladies' Home Journal. The whole
gist of His doctrine and the burden
of His teaching consisted in coun-
sells to men how to put an end to
strife with their fellow. men and
live together with them in mutual
helpfulness. All this teaching,
which was the whole content of
His gospel, was grouped about and
crystallized in the Golden Rule,
whereon our modern world is
founded as on an everlasting foun-
dation. To believe in Christ and
not to believe in the Golden Rule
as the only plan for social organiza
ton, seems to us a moral and ra-
tional impossibility-an unthink-
able proposition. Just this, how
ever, our ancestors undertook to do,
and it is fair to admit that they
were very frank about it; they made
no pretenSeS.

Revival OF the Curfsw Bell.

There is to be a revival Of the
curfew in Canada, and if 1t prove
successful in the cities and towns
of that dominion it is not unlikely
that it may be used in some parts
of the United States, writes John
Gilmer Speed in a short history
of that historic bell in the February
Ladies' Home Journal. The law
which has been enacted by the
legislatures of Quebec and Ontario
was drafted by the Society for the
Protection of Women and Children,
and provides that the municipal
councils in cities, towns and in
corporated villages shall have
power to pass bylaws for the regu-
lation of the time after which
children shall not be in the streets
at nightfall without proper guard
ianship. The law also provides
that these councils shall cause a
bell to be rung at or near the time
appointed, as a warning, to be
called the curfew bell, after which
the children so required to be at
their homes or off the streets shall
be liable to be warned by any con-
stable or police officer to go home.
