Tho Joy OF Helpfulness,

1t Is pleasant to be loved, to receive

than any receiving of gifts can yield.
NO praise is so sweet as when one can

another. Here lies the secret of happi

SINGLE RAIL RAILWAY.
The Force Of Traction Is Directed ty a
Balloon.

A mountain railway built on quite
a novel plan was tested last year on
snail scale, and it is shortly to be
opened IN different locality for reg
.ular service The principal feature
of the new system is that the force
of traction is directed vertically up
ward, and is derived from balloon.
A single rail is used for the only pur-
pose Of directing The course Of the
train and Keeping the balloon with
its load captive. To this end the rail
is made T-shapcd, and the car runs on
it. gripping it from the .ides and
from below The rail is anchored
TO the ground at distances Of about
Is feet. In the descent the propclling
force is gravity, and the balloon acts
as check to prevent accelerated mo-
ton. A ballast oEwater, taken up at
the top of the mountain, provides the
additional downward force required.
Thetruck carries the water receptacle,
which can be opened by theaeronauts
during the journey. The truck and
the receptacle together weigh about
600 pounds. and when there is no
wind the receptacle carries about
100 pounds of water, making a total
weight of l,760 pounds. When it is
windy the strain between the balloon
and the truck is diminished by let
ting the water out of the receptacle,
thus compromising for the difference
in power The difference in weight
caused by the passengers entering or
leaving the car is regulated by the use
of separate weights, a sufficient num-
Der of which will be kept at each sta
ton.
The tests made of this system we're
very favorable, and the inventors,
Messrs. Volderauer and Bracke-
busch, are preparing to build a sim
liar line to run up the IIochstauffen,
near Bad Reichenhall, Bavaria. The
inventors purpose making a balloon
with a diameter of 65 feet Z inches
and lifting power of 10,G50 pounds.
The balloon car, net, rope, ETC., weigh
1920 pounds, and an allowance of
$500 pounds is made for passengers
and aeronauts, leaving margin OF
2,640 pounds.
There is storage house, where the
balloon may be left in case of storm,
and all possible measures are observed
to insure the absolute safety of the
passengers The whole device seems
very appropriate for the purpose it is
to fulfill, and there seems no reason
why the enterprise should not prove
entirely Observation-Disclosures Zei'

THE FIRST WoMAN's CLUB.
Is Now One Hundred and Two Years Old
and Still Fiourishing

and Stlll b4ouflshlng.
The first woman's club founded in
America, or at least the first about
which we have authentic informa-
ton, was held in the city Of Penn
1O2 years ago, under the name of
''The Female Society for the Re-
lief and Improvement Of the Poor"
Accordingtothe Philadelphia Ledger,
it was begun and organized by a
Quaker spinster, Anne Parrish, who
was born in 1850, and died just be-
fore the nineteenth century began,
at the end of the year 1900. The So
ciety consisted first CT 20 young, ac-
complished women Of the best fam
lies, who met every week to go about
among the poor and the needy When
the city was visited by the yellow
fever, shortly after the formation of
the club, the metal Of its members
was tried and found to ring true;
while most who had the means fled
from the town, these % Quaker wom-
en- stayed with Anne Parrish and
fought the plague, raising money,
visiting the dying, clothing the well,
and comforting the bereaved. From
that time to the present the society
has endured and continued in the
work thus early initiated; the grand
daughters and great=granddaughters
Of the first founders have inherited
the club membership along with their
Quaker traditions, and their fine old
family names that still count in Phil
adelphia society. The membership
is passed down through the oldest
daughter, and the methods are not
altered from those first chosen; there
is no president or vice president, the
only officers being two clerks, treas
urer, and a committee of 10; the
prominent work Of the club is the
maintenance Of "house of indus
try" where nearly hundred old
Quaker women of INDECENT circnm-
stances go daily to sew, knit and mend
in comfortable quarters, in the house
on North Seventh street which the
club has lodged in since the middle
of this century. The women are paid
good wages for their work, and are
given a good meal in The middle of
the day, besides being provided with
easy, chairs while they work, The
society women provide them with sew
ing, and bachelors send thither for
their mending.

COOL COURAGE.
How an Englishman Worked Gun at
Great Hazard.

How an Englishman Worked Gun at
Great Hazard
A fine example of cool courage in
presence Of the enemy is contained in
a dispatch in the Gazette of India. In
the official report Of the operations in
the Tochi valley the name of Lieut. de
Brett, of the Royal artillery, was spe-
cially mentioned and attention was
drawn to the rapidity with which he
had brought reinforcements and am
munition to the front at Maizar.
When the young officer fell in with
the force the enemy were pressing
forward There was a gun at hand,
but was without the usual appurten-
ances, This gun Lieut.. de Brett load
ed himself, and rammed the charge
home with a rifle, without sponging
out between the rounds He recog-
nized the extreme danger of what he
was doing, and for that reason re-
fused to be helped by the Sepoys near
him, preferring to take all the risks
himself. Afterward he improvised a
sponge by wrapping a puggaree round
a lance. Maj Gen. Corrie Bird does
not hesitate to say that the fact of the
gun coming into action when it did
materially assisted in dispensing the
enemy and extricating the escort

Punch and Judy.

The world known Punch and Judy
show owes its title to one of the old
mystery plays called "Pontius cum
Judaeis" (Pontius PLATE and the
Jews). In Italy the chief character
in this performance was styled Poll
cinella, from the Latin police, a
thumb, because, like his companion,
he is a Tom Thumb, or puppet. Our
Punch is an abbreviation of the An
gelicisad Punchinello. The Mystery
plays were all founded on Bible in
cidents, and preceded the Miracle
plays which were based upon the lives
Of the saints The Moralities were
still another form of early drama in
which the dramatis personae were ale
gorical-Vice, Virtue, Honesty, De
pravity, Good Doctrine, Charity, Pru-
dence, etc.-Detrois Free Press,

EARLY ENGLISH sEApoRTs.
Towers That Were Important in Latter
Part of the Fourteenth Century.

AOWetS 1idI WeIe important III bdlleI
Part of the Fourteenth Century.
Among seaports the high place be-
longing to Bristol is very noticeable.
1t is the port of a region which has
always been one of the richest, agri-
culturally, in England, and one to
which population had been also at
tracted at a very early date by the
working Of the lead mines Of the
Mendips. But its great importance is
probably to be referred to its foreign
commerce-above all, its commerce
with Iceland and the north generally,
which dates from the century to
which The list bclongs--that in which
lived the first William Canynges, who
began the rebuilding of the Church
of ST. Mary Radcliffe. 1t was not a
Roman town. In Roman times, no
doubt, Bath served all the purposes of
a seaport for this region; and from
this list it would appear that as Bris-
toll rose Bath declined. But if we ac-
count in this way for the importance
of Bristol, it is surprising to find
Southampton and Boston both so low
in the list. Both Of these we're like
wise important for their foreign COM
merce at this date, and another assess
ment list 20 years later gives very
different relative position to these sea-
ports among English towns, although
it does not afford the means of estimat-
ing the population
In this later list Of 1897 we only get
the amounts forwhich different towns
we're assessed, but in it we find that
Boston and Southampton ranked re-
spectively as fourth and tenth, in
stead Of thirty-eighth and thirty
fourth, as in the list Of 1877. Boston
in this list is assessed at $500, South
ampton G113 1-3 against $500 for
Bristol. About a century later, in the
reign of Henry VII, Southampton,
if we may Judge by the amount Of
customs dues levied, had about the
same relative Importance as it now
has among the ports of the southeast
of England ranking next after Lon
don, and separated by a long interval
from the third in this respect, which
was then Boston. Bristol them had
the fourth place, coming next after
Newcastle.
Plymouth, Notwithstanding the ex-
eellence of its natural harbor, was
place of comparatively recent growth
in 1877, 1t is described by Leland as
having been in Henry HIS time
about 200 years before-a mean thing
inhabited by fshers.-Geographical

A Curious Town,

The most curious town in England
is Northwich. There is not a straight
street, nor, in fact straight house,
in the place; every part of it has the
appearance Of having recently suf-
fered from the visitation Of an earth
quake. Northwich, as everyone
knows, is the center of the salt indus
try, On nearly all sides of the town
are big salt works, with their engines
pumping hundreds of Thousands of
gallons Of brine every week, AT a
depth Of some 200 or 800 feet are
immense subterranean lakes of brine,
and as the contents Of these are
pumped and pumped away, the upper
crust Of earth is correspondingly
weakened, and the result is an occa-
sional spbsidence. These subsi-
dences have pulling" effect on the
nearest buildings, which are drawn
ell ways, giving the town an apsisls-
dsFn appearance. Leader AhSn.

ONE MORE BIG SHIP.
Cymric of the White Star Line
Launched at Belfast.

Belfast, Oct. 16.-The new White Star
line steamer Cymric was launched heAe
today at the yards of Harland & Wolff.
The CyInric is a freight and passenger
steamer of 1900 tons, considerably
longer than the Georgia, which is the
largest of the White Star line freight
steamers now in the New York serv-
ice.
The White Star line is understood to
have contracted for more than than
100000 tons of new steamer property
The Oceanic was to have been launched
in January next, but owing to the strike
in the engineering trade it is probable
that she will not be launched until May
or June next.
She will outrank all other transat-
lantic steamships in size, as she will be
7O4 feet long, or 26 feet longer than the
Great Eastern, the largest passenger
steamer ever fiOated. The Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse is 649.62 feet long, the
St. Louis and the St. Paul are 554. So
