It may interest young New Workers
whose careers have been pretty much
coterminous with the period Of elevated
railways and cable roads to learn that
a correspondent Of a daily newspaper
recalls tho time, some thirty-fye years
ago, when mules or asses were used to
draw street cars on the Sixth avenue
road. The experiment was soon
abandoned, however, as the hoofs Of
the animals aforementioned could not
bear pounding on the stones, nor were
the mules capable of making squirt Of
speed when car was behind time.
Truly, the world moves, if the mules
did not.

William Johnson, who has just re-
turned from Binghamton, N. Y, from
o trout fishing trip to Delaware County,
made successful experiment with a
number of small incandescent light
bulbs, which he used as bait. He at
tached a bulb about the size Of those
used by physicians, to his line near
the hook Then he made a trip up
the stream at night, throwing the
lighted bait into the water, the current
being furnished by a pocket battery.
His success was phenomenal.
The fish attracted by the light would
flock around the strange object and
snap at the baited hook. Mr.. Johnson
says he mas consulted counsel, and
finds that this manner Of fishing is not
prohibited by the game laws, and ex-
perience satisfies him that it is most

Some time ago he had a severe lines
which was cured almost miraculously. a
reporter hearing Of this, interviewed him
regarding his experience. Prof. Bowman
was I'm the midst Of his work whom tho re-
porter called, but he cheeriully gave him g
hearing.
"a year ago last fall, 4" said the professor.
II broke down with nervous exhaustion,
and was unable to properly attend 10 ny
duties. I tried different physicians but with
no relief, and also used many different pro
prletary medicines, spending almost nfty
dollars for these medicines alone. then
yuccumbed to seige OF tho grip In The
middle Of winter, and was left in a much
worse condition. My kidneys we're feartuliy
dlsordered, and my digestion became very
poor. was indeed IN a bad condition.
"a minister in conference learning Of my
condition advised me to tried DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. I had heard
much about the wonderful curative powers
Of this medicine, but it was with reluctance
that was finally persuaded TO try it, as it
seemed that nothing could do me any good.
However, procured three boxes Of pills
and took them strictly according to direc-
tions By the time the last dose was taken

than had been for years. continued using
the pills awhile longer and was entirely
cured. can cheerfully recommend Dr..

story, which was fully endorsed by the fol-

A correspondent of Cycling Life
writes from St. Louis: Every house
called on recently, not only in bicycle
but in other lines as well, emphasizes
the fact Of an immense improvement
the last few years in general conditions
in the South. Nowhere else in the
country have the years of business de-
preston proved such blessing in dis
guise. The iniquitous credit system
which has been such hindrauce to
business in that section has received its
death blow. Bankers aud brokers have
been forced to discontinue loaning large
amounts on growing or prospective
crops. The planters have been forced
to a cash basis or something near it.
Merchants are better able to discount
their bills and are doing it." This is
true, says the Louisville Courier
Journal in Confederation. Except for
the foods there is no reason why the
South cannot expect to prosper.

DR.. Walter Nyman, SUrgeon-General
Of the United States Marine Hospital
Service, advocates the annexation of
Cuba as a sanitary measure necessary
to the welfare Of this country, because
it is the worst plague spot upon the
map and the source Of nearly all our
epidemics. From the beginning of
the century until now there have been
only nine years in which this country
has been free from yellow fever. It
has been proved that in twenty-three
of the eighty-fve years the disease
came from Havana direct, and in
twelve cases from elsewhere in Cuba.
The source of its infection in many
other years is believed to have been
the same, but there is no positive evil
dence. Since 1862 there have been
twenty-six inYasions Of yellow fever.
The sources Of nineteen are absolutely
known-sixteen from Havana, two
from elsewhere in Cuba and one from
Honduras. Since 1893 there has been
no yellow fever in the United States,
which, the Chicago Record declares, is
due to the extraordinary precautions
taken by DR., Burgess, the United
States inspector at Havana, who will
not give certificate Of health unless
he is sure that it is correct, and with
cut his certificate no passenger can
leave Hayana for this country.

Fniluro of Aluminium.

After various Investigations and
tests of aluminium for mechanical pur-
poses, says the Engineering Magazine,
aluminium bronze is found useless for
bearings, valves, etc, on account of
the rapid wearing away, but has proved
useful for various parts of machines
where friction is not an important fac
tor, and also Of course, where light
weight is an object. Furniture made Of
this material shows decidedly too lit
tie resistance, requiring also frequent
repainting. Aluminium exhibits, fur
termore, but slight resistance to sea
water, thus making it useless for the
walls Of vessels. 1t is believed, how
ever, that a ten per cent. aluminium
bronze stands fair chance of being
employed somewhat freely as soon as
the price of the article can be reduced
sufficiently to approach the value Of
cast steel.

There was no need, as It turned out,
for the banker 10 have been in such q
hurry For days aud weeks went by,
and still Jan Vereker remained absent
and silent. OF this Roster was glad,
because now, when the old fellow came
back, ho could scarcely complain Of
his security having been dealt with;
whereas, If he had turned up within a
day or two Of the limit, he might
reasonably have been incensed at find-
ing his Van Dyck already sold.
But it was not long before the true
explanation came. Roster & Sons one
day received a rather startling letter
from n well-known banking firm in
Manchester. They the Manchester
bankers) had learned a few days since,
from something seen by one Of the
partners in the newspapers, that Mr..
james Roster had, in the course Of a
business transaction, acquired possess
sion Of the Vereker Van Dyck. This
news was heard by them with aston
ishment, for they themselves las they
belioved) held the picture in question
as security for an oyerdraft allowed TO
their customer, Mr.. Jan Noreker.
Their suspicious being thus aroused,
they called in On expert, and he had at
once declared that their present
security was merely q cleverly forged
substitute. They had, therefore, placed
the matter in the hands Of the police,
and had thought it their duty to com
municate with Messrs. Roster & Sons,
in case they might have been similarly
imposed upon.
James Roster was in a fine state of
mind after he had read this letter. He
lost no time in dispatching a messenger
to Messrs. , the art publishers
above mentioned, asking them to send
up their Mr.. - lwho had previously
valued the Van Dyck) to his private
residence, at the earliest possible mo-
ment. When he arrived, the painting
was submitted to him. He unhesita-
tingly pronounced it a forgery.

pired that ten other banks in various
large provincial towns had been SINH
larly duped. In each case precisely
the same method had been adopted.
The first step was the depositing of the
real Van Dyck at the bank for safe
custody. The second, the advance
made upon the genuine work, and duly
repaid. The third, the depositing Of q
skillful forgery, so artfully executed as
easily to pass for the original, The
fourth, the advance obtained on the
