The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1897-07-30

Our neighbors generally are the peo-
pie who have houses near to our own,
that nearness varying according to the
size of the district and the number of
householders of the same social rank as
ourselves. In town they live in the
same street; in apartments they are on
the same corridor; in the country they
are separated by field only or garden
wall; in sparsely tenantpd places they
are at distance Of mile or two miles,
L it may be six. And the neighbor par
excellence is the one who lives close
alongside of MISUNDERSTANDING in the
other half of the semidetached house
where we have our home or just across
the road and opposite, not to the side.
This is the general idea of neighbor,
and when we use the term we rarely
mean aught else
But in point Of fact we have neigh
bors wherever we turn-men and wom-
en- to whom we are bound to render
the possibilities of the time and place
1t is not only domicile and the rates
and taxes which make US neighbors. II
is not only when we live divided by
party wall enc from the other at the
foot OF the hill, or standing face to face
across the road, when we can signal our
goings out and our comings in and be
helpful and neighborly in the matter of
the garden roller and the preserving
pan. 1t is not only when we know all
the family history, and how our friends
and neighbors are improbable as to their
grandfather and without the crooked
lines of a scandal across their family
1t is not necessary to be
intimate, nor even to have been intro
duced, for the obligations of neighbor-
illness to be strict and strong. For
wherever we can render a service, show
a courtesy or do a kindness we have our
work cut out for US in the way of duty
to our neighbor, and he is our neighbor
who stands in need, great or small, Of
such help as we can offer.-Philadel-

RACING IN MOSCOW.
The Horses Run Not Side by Side, but H
Opposite Directions.

OppOblbe DlrecUlOnss
1t is a racing day in Moscow. The
course is swept free from snow and fol-
lows the wooded shores with red paint
cd ratings Oh each side. On one side
is stand, with seating room for sew
erNl thousand people, and special box,
with tent hangings, for the governor
general, surmounted by the imperial
tagle in gold In front of this box, low
er down, you see the prizes consisting
OF gold and silver cups, vases and orna-
mental pieces, all in Russian style and
taste.
A bell rings, the course is cleared by
mounted gendarmes and the competitors
in due order take their places in front
Of the stand, but not side by side, 40
they always start from opposite sides or
the course, with heads also turned in
opposite directions. The usual race
course hum and noise of the betting
men are heard and increase in volume
as the bell rings the second time. They
are off And the fascination of rapid
motion, open air and strenuous exertion
throws its spell over the assembly, high
and low, for trotting is certainly the
most fashionable and beloved sport in
Russia You cannot recognize people
just yet-the great fur collars are raised
and reach over the fur caps, leaving
only red tipped noses, beneath which
appear never missing cigarettes. The
ladies heads are almost entirely COW
cred by wooen wraps, so here again
you can only guess who is who. To
stranger not investing his money in
backing his opinion as to winners, the
game might seem monotonous enough,
as the horses do not finish side by side,
but in the way they started. Yet the
Russians think differently, and, besides,
are there not plenty of vodka and caviare
to be had between the races?
Single horses are pitted against each
other, drawing light little sleighs, in
which the driver is seated very low
down and far away from the horse, ow-
ing to the long shafts intended to give
the horse perfect freedom of action. A
whip is not used, but on the reins are
metal buckles over the quarters, which
are employed instead, and almost all
horses run without blinkers.
Sometimes a horse is attached to the
sleigh on one side of the trotter, who Is
between the shafts He is the pacemak-
er and gallops the whole course,
whereas, it need not be said, the trotter
must not break. Then follow pair
horses, harnessed, and lastly troikas
with three horses, sometimes four
abreast Troikas are very barbarously
gaudy and clumsy things to look at, but
exceedingly comfortable all the same

STREET RAILWAY DEVICES.


Among Them a scheme to Keep Con-
ductors Honest.
1t in many years since Mark Twain's
lines iwmortalizing the enforced
punching # Ivariously colored slips by
street IA ay conductors to prevent
their "ho..lng up the company" ran
riot through the land, and the bluff
trip slips" the pink trip slips" and the
"blue trip slips" have long been aban-
doned by most street railways in favor
of the clock faced indicator. This is
fairly good device, but still it may be
worked by a clever man not unwilling
to divert few nickels to his own
pocket. In Toronto the company has a
scheme which, so far as any one knows,
has never yet been circumvented by
conductor. Indeed, it is difficult to see
how it could be got around without the
connivance of passenger. By this plan
the conductor does not touch money or
tickets at all When collecting, he car
ries around a specially made receptacle
into which the passenger must put his
own ticket or cent piece. The con-
duCtor who violates the company s rules
by taking the fare from the passenger
and putting it into the fare holder is
liable to discharge. At the end of each
collection the receptacle is hung upon a
special hook and must there remain IN
til more passengers board the car.
The cars of the trolley line between
Minneapolis and st. Paul are fitted with
admirable appliances to prevent acct
dents to passengers careless in stepping
on and off At the rear end Of each Car
are folding gates which are under the
control of the motorman, who does not
open them until the car has reached a
full stop and closes them before it
starts again. Controlled by the same
lever as that which opens and closes the
gates are folding steps, which let down
when the gates open and close up when
they shut.
The managers Of this same line have
carried the street Car advertising notion
to greater length than the managers
of most other trolley lines in the United
States. In addition to the ordinary space
for advertisements over the windows,
the backs of the seats are provided with
panels for the display of advertising
matter. This does not, however, seem
to attract the advertisers Of the twin
cities very much, for the panels are very
rarely utilized except for amusement

makes the following curious remarks:
II have had occasion to observe some
infants Immediately ON their births and
have found an astonishing resemblance
between their profile and those of their
father. A few days after this resem-
blance almost entirely disappeared. The
influence of the air and food and prob
ably the change of posture had so al
tered the design of the face that You
could have believed it different in
dividual. afterward saw two of these
children die, one at 6 weeks and the
other at 4 years of age, and about
IL hours after their death they imme-
diately recovered the profile which had
struck me so much at their birth, only
the profile of the dead child was, as
might be expected, more strongly
marked and more terse than that of the
