EUROPE'S ELECTRIC CARS.
Mileage of $50 In 1898 Is Increasing-
Chance for Americans.

Money and material for street rail-
10000 people, at the foot Of Mount
Ftna. Catania has no street railways,
using hacks instead. The suburban
town of Ognina, where, in spring, sum-
mer and fall, many of Catania's inhab-
itants spend a few months in cottages,
going to the city daily to attend to bust
ness, would be a source of revenue to a
street railway. Two projects are form
ing One is 10 interest Belgian CAPT
talists-which would mean Belgian ma
terial. The other is proposed by a
milling firm, which would use the $50
waste horse power of their mill to gem
crate electricity. This firm would buy
dynamos, wires, poles, rails and ten
cars to start with. American bids would
be received upon equal footing with the
rest.
Electric railways are gaining ground
in Europe, though not as fast as in the
United States. Yet these figures APP
pear absurdly small. In all Europe the
total electric railway mileage in 1896
the latest obtainable statistics-was
only 500 miles, an increase OF 125 miles
over 1894, and an increase in the num-
Der of lines from 20 to III. Germany
has 252 miles, France So, Great Britain
and Ireland &C, Austria Hungary A,
Switzerland AZ, Italy "a, and other coun-
tries from six miles down.
OF the Ill lines, 81 are worked on the
overhead surface system, 12 on the I'M
derground system, and eight by means
of accumuiators. Hamburg and Leip-
sic have their electric railway systems
nearly completed, and Berlin is about
TO give up the horse tramway and omni-
bus service for electric cars.-N. Y.

JONESBY'S JOKE.
His Two Mice In II Candy Box and
What They Did.

Mr.. Giddy invited two friends to dine
with him the other evening, and when
the first of them arrived he found the
host in very merry mood.
Glad you got here first" he said.
Eve got joke on Jonesby that the boys
will tell around the Office for a year,
and want to tell you about il before he
comes in"
"Jonesby is something of a joker
himself, isn't hep" returned the guest
He thinks so now, but he won't
after he finds out. You see he's played
a lot of fool tricks on me that he thinks
funny, and I've been waiting to get
even. or late he's taken to buying lots
of neckties and keeping a comb in his
desk, and the boys think he's in love
with the typewriter"
well, that's no joke, I'm sure
Il wasn't sure about it myself until
to-day, when l saw him sneak in and
lay on her desk a big candy box, done
up in white paper and tied with blue
ribbons. If he hadn't run away as fast
as he could he'd have heard me laugh

second"
"Well?" said the guest, who was won.

served.

Told my wife to put it on the dinner

after it's all eaten. Won't he be mad
though? Sh-that's him. Don't sa,
anything. Hello, Jonesby, old man
you're late. / thought you weren't
coming"

conner. THE fact is stayed later thar

To Look Young.

The most essential point, perhaps, in
attaining every woman's object of
docking young is to dress always in
the latest mode. The French under
stand this to perfection, the English do
not even pretend to. A dowager wears
gowns of from five to % years old in
style. A grande dame Parisienne looks
always as though she had just stepped
from the atelier of n smart couturiere.
A woman of 40. IN an old-fashioned
gown, and thin and badly-dressed hair,
looks passe entirely, while her friend
Of 55, in sInartest array, is young in
every movement. Her stylish gown
swings about her with an air of distine-
ton, and her Fashionable hat shades her
smooth forehead. Her face is framed
in ruches and boas and Medici collars,
and with softly padoured hair mod
ishly undule. She stands and walks
with the erect carriage aud the little
jerky trip Of a young woman; she sits
with her skirts sweeping the floor be-
side her. her feet together or easily
crossed, instead of founcing down on
her back breadths and folding her hands
over a wide lap. Altogether she is a
replica Of her daughter.-Boston Herald.
