were very young indeed you had yet
been called a man
At that time you had great respect
for your own opinions on most matters.
You began to shave forthwith, and you
fell into the habit Of calling your
chum, who was OF about your own
age, "old man" If any one called you
my boy" you felt resentful. Il SEEM
ed so utterly out of place. But you
had not yet learned that manhood
brings with it certain definite and
sometimes heavy responsibilities. 1t
is possible you discovered this signifi-
cant truth very soon afterwarG, though
perhaps it was not till two or three
more new years had passed. At all
events the knowledge came to you with
somewhat of a shock-possibly pleas
ant, possibly otherwise At all events.
it was not long after that that YOU
found out that your knowledge was
not universal and your wisdom was
not infallible.
And ever since the new years have
flown by faster and faster. After
awhile your girth grew greater. Then
there were lines in parts of your face
that had once been smooth. The top
Of your Uranium, that was once thick
matched, grew bare and smooth and
shining. Glasses came next and your
hands wrinkled up. Then there were
occasional twinges in your joints, and
what hair was left grew gray, then
white. Only yesterday you began to
carry a cane-once you carried it for
ornament-because it helped you when
walking. Yesterday? you ask. On.
yes, [ remember. 1t was a good ten
years ago, but you see the new years
fly Sc fast now.
What! Are you going to leave the
coach? Is your life journey done?
You amaze me. 1 thought you were
good for several more new years.
Well, goodby, my boy; goodby.
So he is gone. But, bless me, he
was only rs. He was a young man
yet. Now, those of you who are yet
on the coach with me-Iet us give the
new year 1896 a rousing welcome!
And may the road between here and
1897 be a smoother one for all of us
than was that of 1895!

RING OUT YE RELLS.

Ring out, We joyous New Year bells,
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Each brazen throat triumphant swelle,
AS if, old bells, 'twere much to you
This happy, merry, gladstone time,
You're ringing in with joyful chime
Perhaps it's so; so long you've hung
So long in that Old steeple gray,
'MethinlIs each iron, changing tongue
Is glad to tell it's tale today.
Each ringing, swinging. tuneful bell
It's twelve months tale would gladly
tell.
A happy twelvemonth twas to some;
Alas, that twas not so to all.
But joy and grief alike must come,
Into each life some rain must fall.
Oh, tolling, rolling, heavy bells,
How solemn sound your deep-toned
knells!
You've rung for life, you've rung log
death,
The gladstone lay, and last sad rite.
You've sped TIE old years PARTING
breath,
And welcome oft the New Year
bright:
You changing, twanging, noisy bells,
That each a different story tellsI
But. oh, your maddeat, blithest tune,
Your gayesr, brightest, sweetest lay,
You chime from June to sequent June,
On ey'ry happy Wedding day.
Then trillin@. thrilling, blithely swells
Your paean glad, oh, marriage bells,
But, dear old bells, whate'er your song,
Though sad or merry be your lay,
I've loved you well MY whole lie long.
III love you till my dying day,
You ripping, rhythmic, dulcet bells,
Wherein a world of music dwells!

PASSING OF THE NEW YEAR.
These Mile Posts on the Journey Of
Life Fly by Faster One by One.
To Be Continued.

1t has no doubt often occurred to
you, fellow traveller on times coach,
that the milestones of the new years
fly past much faster now than they
did in the early stages Of your journey.
What an Unfortunately long wait it
seemed to be between tn first new
years day Of your memory and the
second. Perhaps you were or years
old then and in school for the first
term. If so, new years had its sorrow
as we'll as its joy, for it was the last
day Of the midwinter holidays and
next day you had to begin your wrest-
ling with the intellectual arithmetic
and the geography and maybe with the
elements of the English grammar.
Look back now and pity yourself. Do
not make the mistake Of most of our
acquaintance and declare that particu-
lar new years to have been the hap
riest Of your existence. Pshaw! 1t
was perhaps the most miserable. The
fact that you have forgotten your
childhoods miseries does not make it
true that you had none.
1t was several years after that be-
fore the new year began to move ap
probably faster. Perhaps it was not
till your sister and your pretty dark
eyed cousin began to chaff you about
the silky down upon your upper lip,
and your pOrtly, comfortable father,
in speaking of some doings of yours
of which he did not approve OF, re-
ferred to you as foolish young man"
Then you noticed the fight of time,
I'll be bound. No one had called you
young man" before. You were ready
to forgive the governors chidings for
that You rejoiced that although you

or feuilletons, and the latter, when writ ten by some such favorite author as Maur- us Jokai or Victor Rakosy, are frequent ly spoken into the telephone by the au- thOrs themselves, either from the editorial office or from their own desk telephone at home, placed for the purpose in communi- cation with the office. This novel kind of lecture is heartily appreciated by the feminine public.
 All this, remember, for a penny day! No wonder the telephone newspaper is already taking rank in Budapest with the necessaries of life, and is to be found not only in private houses but in offices and shops of all sorts, doctors waiting-rooms, coffee rooms, hairdressing rooms, etc. Think of what it means for invalids and for old people whose eyes are no longer equal to reading the news.
 At first, we are told, the Budapest journals that print the news instead of talking it looked askance at the new conner, and there was more or less of boy cotting on the part of the city news-agen- cies. But all that is a thing of the past |;
  press and the telephone, as time has shown that both can thrive we'll side by side." Indeed, the other Budapest jour- nals nowadays advertise freely in the ''IEirmondo," and find it profitable to do so.
 The newspaper that talks is the crea- tiOn and monument of Theodore Albert Puskas, Transylvanian, linguist, engineer, silver miner, railway builder scientific @ronaut, millionaire Temporarily, and friend of our Tom Edison. The idea of it was in his head for years. When he had speculated away nearly all his great for tune in this country-he was one of the petroleum victims-Puskas went back to his idea, after an interval of chequered experiences as Edisons agent in Europe and worked it out. The first number ot the "Hirmondo" was uttered February 15, 1893. A month later Puskas was ir his coffin.

Which Are You?

There are two kinds of people on earth
 to-day, Just two kinds of people, no more I say. Not the sinner and saint, for 'tis well un-
 stood The good are half bad, and the bad are
 half good. Not the rich and the poor, for to count
 mans wealth You must first know the state of con-
 science and health. Not the humble and proud, for in life's
 little span, Who puts on vain airs is not counted
 man. Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying

THE PETROLEUM WAGON.

As regards methods of transit the won- der Of the last five years is the trolly. The wonder for the next five years bids fair to be either the electric locomotive or the automatic petroleum vehicle, with chances in favor of petroleum. By the recent trial of the 'horseless wagon" in Washington square, New York city, it is demonstrated that the wagon can easily eli mb grade of 30 degrees, or one foot in three. If the claims of it's inventor, M. Emile Roger, are correct, that there is no peril of fire or explosion and that the in- ventiOn can be run for under cent mile, it seems reasonable to predict that this kind of wagon will come into wide use in cities and their suburbs by the time the 18th century is laid away with it's forbears.
 The petroleum wagon was winner in the recent curious race or competition in which forty makes of vehicles were tested in the 750 mile stretch between Paris and Bordeaux. Its practical utility on good roads is accordingly beyond question. It remains to be seen how it will work on inferior highways. On cobblestones it would be useless. On granite block pav- ing, particularly if the paving be old, or the blocks poorly laid, the life of the wag- | on is liable to be short. On stoned streets the situation is about the same. On mac adam it operates almost to perfection, the only drawback being occasional clog ging of parts of the mechanism by mud or infrequently by dust. On block asphalt it's operation is highly successful while on l sheet asphalt it is better still.
 The proprietor of a retail business house in New York city is contemplating the replacing of all of his 500 delivery wagons, now drawn by horses, with the horseless vehicles. If the trial of the new wagon is satisfactory on the poorly paved streets he will save the large expense of buying and keeping horses. It is this study of pavements and roads which is one of the most promising results of the invention. Road reform will be strengthened by the petroleum wagon. The new vehicle is a l 6uCC0So Ill LduC0, WHICH udS IIOL0 LOduS of the first class than has any other cOun- try on the globe. In cities and districts in this country where streets are favora- ble, the vehicle seems certain to come in by the close of the century. In Paris 4,OOO of the new type are in use. Wash, ington is the American city which is most similar to the French capital. No city ir the western world has so many miles ot asphalt. Few American cities have such easy grades. It seems likely that the na tional capital will be among the earliest cities to welcome the French invention It will probably be long spell ere con servative Hartford will reach out it's arms to the suspicious newfangled contrivance
 With speedy trolleys, pneumatic tiret bicycles and buggies and petroleum wag ons, the sheet asphalt streets of the Hart ford of 1900 will present scenes far differ ent from those of decade earlier. TC how large degree the new wagon will in jure the trolley it is hard to say. Proba bly,, however, it will affect it scarcel. more than the bicycle. Post.
