STEAM AND ELECTRIC ROADS.
rFrom the Philadelphia Record


1t is a rather narrow view of the
proposition that electric railways
should be granted the privilege of car
rying freights as well as passengers to
insist that it should be opposed in the
interest of steam railways. The cleo
trio railways are destined in time to
become very important feeders for the
trunk line railways. Electric lines
will, no doubt, be built and owned by
the great railway companies with the
special view of bringing business to
their lines. In localities where electric
power may be economically generated,
short branch lines of railway already
constructed and in active operation
would save money by substituting cleo
trio motors for locomotives The long
headed-manage gers of railway corpora
lions will think twice before seriously
opposing the use of electric power for
freighting purposes.

THE BOAST OF HEALTH.

All doctors know that just before

the symptom which we call death; and
it is quite likely that the feeling which
induces men to boast Of health is of
the same kind-an effort of nature TO
protect us against the coming sickness
which the body has recognized, though
the mind has not. The phenomenon
occurs every day in the cases of con-
sumptive patients, who brighten up
and grow hopeful just when the dis
ease is about to strike its hardest
blows, and it is quite possible that it
is more frequent than has yet been

patient, who twenty-fOur hours after

The boast had nothing to do with
the illness, but it preceded it, and men,
attracted by the violent contrast, al
most instinctively link the two to-
gether as in some way and to some
extent cause and effect. Next time
those who heard it, if they feel that
rush of health in their veins, will avoid
Boosting of it; and the relation of the
two will escape attention. Moreover,
it must not be forgotten that boasting
is of itself a sign of weakness, either
temporary or permanent, and that
consequently, failure follows boosting
more frequently than it follows silence

makes our Gamers more hopeful for the fu-
ture.
