He Was Alive.

The grenadiers of the famous "Old
Guard" will never be forgotten in
France as long as the memory of brave
men shall live in the national heart.
But some of them, at least, were as
bright as they were brave, as the fol-
lowing trustworthy Rnecdote bears wit
ness: One fine morning, after peace
had been concluded between France
and Russia, the two emperors, Napol-
con and Alexander, were taking a short
walk, arm in arm, around the palace
park at Erfurt. AS they approached
the sentinel. who stood at the foot OF
the grand staircase, the man, who was
a grenadier of the guard, presented
arms. The emperor of France turned,
and pointing with pride to the great
scar that divided the grenadier's face.
said:
What do you think, my brother, of
soldiers who can survive such wounds
as that?"
"And you," answered Alexander,
what do you think Of soldiers that
can infiict them?"
Without stirring an inch from his
position, or changing the expression of
his face in the least, the stern old gren-
adler himself replied gravely:
1.-The man who did it Is dead"

Study of questions pertaining to the
tariff leads to the conclusion that there
is no east and west, no north and no
south, in the sense of half century
ago. In the period preceding the war
the east was the manufacturing sec
ton, the west was the producer of ag-
ricultural products, and the south
yielded little but the crops peculiar to
that section. But conditions have
changed. Some of the greatest manu-
featuring concerns are in the west and
in the south. The varied industries Of
a great nation are more evenly dis
tributed than they were. The ideal
tariff OF the future Will be made in
recognition of the fact that sectional
interests are of much less account
than in the past. Beside being OF i'm
portance to makers of tariff schedules,
this fact should be a matter OF salts
faction to all citizens of the republic

Banks are so well able to protect
themselves that most readers will en-
10y the following account of how an
unsophisticated customer secured a
slight advantage over one of them. We
borrow the story from an English pa
per. A poor Irishman went to the Of
fee of an Irish bank and asked for
change in gold for fourteen one pound
bank of Ireland notes. The cashier at
once replied that the Cavan bank only
cashed its own notes.
Then you'd We gle me Cavan notes
for these?" asked the countryman In
his simple way.
Certainly" said the cashier, hand
ing out the fourteen notes as desired.
The Irishman took the Cavan notes,
but Immediately returned them to the
official, saying, Would vie gle me gold
for these. sir?"
And the cashier, caught in his own.

An important experiment has been
made on the New York & New England
railroad. which seems to establish the
fact that trains propelled by electricity
can be run on the tracks used for steam
trains. without interference with the
regular traffic. An electrical train was
run between Berlin and Hartford.
distance of thirteen miles. on a regular
schedule, between two trains drawn by
steam locomotives in the ordinary way.
The power was conveyed by the use of
a third rail in the center of the track.
and no intermediate feeders were used.
The distance was covered in eighteen
minutes.

One of the most interesting features
of the present cotton situation, viewed
from a commercial standpoint, is the
growing Importance of Egypt as an ex-
porting country. In 1879, the first
year for which there arc official stats"
tics as to the quantity of cotton ship
ped from Egypt, the total exports
were returned at BIOLOGISTS pounds,
whereas in 1895. the latest year for
which we have figures, the exporta-
lions amounted to 521, 427 1853 pounds,
or nearly double the quantity shipped
in 1879.

In discussion of the social changes
in England during victorias reign, one
who had lived long is quoted as max
ing this distinction: When he was
young, every young man. even II busy,
pretended to be idle; now every young
man. IL idle. pretends to be busy. This
seemed to be progress to the clear-eysd
observer. Accepting the ANALYSIS, II
needs 10 be said. that II public senti-
ment drives men into pretense OF
working, 1t does not make the shame
OF idleness less; It merely makes the
disgrace less repulsiye to superficial OBJ
servers.

That electricity is rapidly supplant-
ing steam is evidenced by report from
Hartford, Connecticut, under date of
May 25. 1t says: The new third rail
electric line between New Britain and
Hartford was opened for public traffic
yesterday. Two trains were put on by
way OF a beginning, one starting from
Hartford and the other from New Bril-
tain simultaneously. There were no
formal ceremonies, and but few people
were on hand to see the beginning of
what many think is the end of the
steam locomotive. Public interest be-
gan TO manifest itself later, however,
and the trains were full both ways.
The distance Is ten miles, and the time
twenty minutes. This will be reduced
shortly, 1t is said. to fifteen minutes.
The western track of the New England
road, between New Britain and Hart
ford, is still devoted to the ordinary
trains, the eastern track alone being
used for the electric system. The cleo
trio trains are run at half hour inter-
walls, and midway in the line there is
a turnout where the north-bound train
waits for the south-bound to pass. An
A-shaped rail, which carries the electric
current, lies In the center of the track
raised free of the ties by blocks of
wood. Through this passes the whole
of the 500-volt current which propels
the ears. President Clark said today
that the New England Railroad COM
pany Is entirely satisfied with the test.
and that the motor-car must soon
supersede the steam locomotive every
where.

not knowingly admitted into her pres
