Special Freight Cars on Electric
Railways.

The freight traffic on electric rail-
ways has led to the construction OF
many new forms Of freight cars. On
one line a large quantity Of whisky is
handled. A large box car, which also
carries general freight and supplies
for local service, has been made for
carrying to the station Of the steam
railway the barrels of whisky from
large distilleries in the district. The
car is % feet long and 10 feet 8 inches
high from rail TO top of roof. 1t is
also used as a locomotive and haulS
three loaded box cars between the
railway and the distilleries. The a
Is mounted on n pair of four-wheel
trucks, with a % horsepower motor
on each axle, and weighs about Is
tons empty. In Spokane the electric
cars which haul wheat and -four be-
tween the mills and the railway sta
ton have displaced the drays formerly
used. The grain cars, which have
been specially built for the service,
are 90 feet long, and the grain COM
partment is II feet long, g feet wide
and 5 feet g inches high, with a capac-
ity Of 10000 pounds, or 200 bushels Of
wheat. At the freight station the
floor, which Is hinged and carries a
steel hopper, is raised, and the car is
loaded with grain from the main line
cars. On reaching the mill the car is
run over a chute, the gate of the hop
per is opened, and the grain is
dumped. The floor is then let down to
cover the hopper and the car is loaded
with bags or barrels Of -four to go to
the railway station. Whenever the
streets along the line require macad-
amizing the car is used for carrying
and discharging the broken stone. 1t
has an Edison double reduction motor
on each axle.

In a work on the many phases Of
telegraph life, a sad scene is related.
A New Orleans operator was slowly
dying Of consumption at the home of
his boyhood in Franklin, Tenn. Sum
moning sufficient strength one day,
and against the wishes of his devoted
wife, he walked to the telegraph Of
flee there and requested Memphis to
place him in connection with New
Orleans. Calling Taylor Adams, an
old chum in the office, to the key, the
operator requested him to gather
around him all his old fellow laborers.
Adams complied, and Taylor Brown,
the operator, opened his key and sem
the following message: 81 am dying
by inches and my WORKOUT body will
soon be returned TO clay. / have come
from my sick bed to say goodbye"
There was a pause of three minutes
when the key was again used. The
sounder here licked: Taylor Brown
has died In the chair" The hand that
flashed this, however, was not
Browns but that Of the regular ope-
rator. A prominent telegraph operator
of many years experience was asked
what message of the many thousands
that had passed through his hands had
made the most lasting impression on
him. He replied that he should never
forget a message that was mailed
some eighteen years ago at Jackson,
Miss. The message was put in at
11:52 a. M, with the instructions:
This message must be delivered in
the hands of the sheriff of Wilkinson
county, Woodville, Miss, before
noon" The message was a respite
from the governor of the state on be-
half Of a poor wretch then standing
on the gallowS awaiting the blow of
the AK that would cut the rope. The
receiving operator, who tells the story,
was in an agony Of nervousness. es-
pecially as he knew the Jail was near-
ly a mile from the office. The man.
ager Of the office, however. was equal
to the emergency. Mounting a horse
standing in the front of the office, he
arrived at the Jail just as the last sig
nal was about to be given. and deliv-
cred the message in time to stay the
proceedings. The unfortunate, whose
life was thus spared. vas sen 10 the
p~enitentiary at Jackson, Miss, and af-
ter serving nine months secured his
liberty, on it being proven that he had
been unjustly imprisoned.

A pinerence In Milkerr.

Some three or four years ago I read.
In the Jersey Bulletin. a brief account
OF the results of certain experiments
made by Or. Babcock at the Wi>cTl-
sin station, 10 test the effects CT the
process of milking upon the quantity
and quality of the milk yield, which
were so closely in accord with my w
limited observation, that ! am now as
thoroughly convinced as / could be of
anything that there is a wide differ
ence In the value of different mixers,
in some cases amounting to as much
as 10 per cent Of the product. That is

rilklng alone, men and women are
worth 10 per cent more than others,
who are otherwise good hands. and
claim 10 be good milkers.-Michigan

The Result of Short working Hours

An English manufacturer has com
inundated to a daily paper an inter-
esting report ef the .>salt OF q frc-
years experience of the eight-hour
rule in his works. Ee says that at
first the wage-cost per ton went Up,
then dropped, and is aow as low as
1t was In 1889, when the twelve-hour
law was In force. In other words, the
men get as much work done In eight
hours as they used to get done In
twelve. This is not attributed to a
coincidental Improvement in machin-
cry or the methods Of manufacture.
The managers of the work, who have
considered the point, are convinced
that, although the men work less
hours, the aggregate efficiency OF their
work is not diminished. This view Is
supported by the showing of the fac
tory books, which record greater reg
ularity Of attendance, increased appli-
cation and improved health Of the
workmen. Many of them used to be
Irregular and drunken, but such cases
are now rare. In the long double
shift at the end Of each week the men
often used to be found asleep. Under
the new conditions this does not hap
pen. The men look fresher and
healthier, and the change in them Is
markedly shown i'm the comparatively
nimble and lively gait with which
they leave the works at the end Of the
shift.

To Keep Bread Fresh.

In Swiss and German farm housS,
where the baking takes place once n
fortnight. or certainly at fairly long
intervals, such a thing as anpieasantly
stale bread is almost unknown. Ii is
put away in a peculiar manner, which
tends to preserve its freshness.
Sprinkle -four freely into an empty
-four sack, and into this pack the
loaves, being careful to have the top
trusts of two loaves touching. Where
they have to lie bottom to bottom,
sprinkle -four between them. Tie up
the sack and hang 1t up in an airy
place, not against a wall, but SO that
1t can swing. The day before the loaf
is wanted take il out, brush off the
-four and stand it in the cellar W.
night, In this way bread remains edi-
bic three or four weeks.

Obedience Is Worth More Than Ge-
OEraphy to n Child.

This lesson of law and obedience,
then, is one that needs to combine
with love in the very first instruction
given to the child. When a boy hears

impression made upon him needs to be
like that made upon the old Hebrews
by a Thus saith the Lord" His
father is the only almighty, practical
ly, that the boy has during the first
years of his life. Obedience is worth
more than geography.-Rev. Charles

The Way to Draw Gold FromA

The accumulation of gold In tho
European banks is phenominaIiy
large, according to the treasury en-
perts at Washington. On the firws

had $1S3, 1878 in coin and bullion.

week carried S406, 347 1874 in goifs

carried $251,SO7, $40 in coin and bull
lion, the Austro-H Hungarian Bank $S6s-
594,5O1 in gold, and the Bank OF Rus
STA $310,427 400 in gold. 1t Is the opin~
