LOVE CAME BACK.
sweethearts in Youth, But Not Welded
Till Old Age.


Till Old Age.
From the New York Journal.
They were child sweethearts in Eng
land half a century ago. and they are
only now enjoying their honeymoon.
In the interval they have been divided
by oceans and battles and sieges and
II understanding and--most impor-
tant of all-the ties of marriage. Yet
they are as happy and as bound up in
each other to-day as If they had never
parted.
1t was a silly quarrel that parted
them-that hackneyed device of the old
fashioned novelist BENJAMIN Milen
Was 10; Margaret Terrell year young
Ell. From infancy they had been low
ers in the quaint Kentish village of
Birchington, where their ancestors had
lived before them.
Pride prevented the healing of the
breach between them, and both mar
RED. Margaret became Mrs. James
Flynn. and emigrated with her hus-
hand to America. During the war
Flynn fought with an Irish regiment
and retired when peace was declared
with score of wounds and a pension.
He and his wife went to live at 65 Mad
ison street, Hoboken, and year ago he
uIed there.
In the meantime Milen and his wife
also came to America, and, as fate
would have it, settled in Hoboken
where they prospered. 1t happened
strangely enough that soon after the
death of Flynn Mrs. Milen also died.
Not until after that. when both were
free again, did the old lovers meet
Benjamin came face to face with his
Margaret in the house of mutual
friend. Both were gray and faded, but
the light of youth leaped into their
eyes when they locked upon each 9TH
er. In the first five seconds of CONVEX
sation he learned that she was a widow
and she that he was a widower. The
wichery Of old associations and the re-
birth of a love that had never really
died did the rest
They were married on Thanksgiving
day by Justice Jaerecki of Jersey City,
and they are now as happy as a pair
of young turtle doves in their pretty
home at 122 Garden street, Hoboken.

MOtor Cars in Eucnne

The motor car has long been a famil-
lar sight in the streets Of Paris, and
the French have shown great ingenui-
ty in the invention and improvement
of the different types of this conven-
lent vehicle. 1t seems not unlikely
that before long it will be as great a
favorite in England as it is in France.
A scheme is on foot to supersede a
large number of the London omnibus
es by electric vehicles. 1t is said that
the electric omnibus is to surpass in
comfort and spaciCusness anything of
the kind hitherto constructed. More
over the service will be quicker, and
the banishment of the horse will make
the roads cleaner and less unhealthy,
more particularly as nearly all the
main thoroughfares in London are
paved with wood. The motor car is to
be 4 leading factor in another great
enterprise. The grip Of Liverpool on
the shipping trade has been so loos-
encd by the competition of Manchest-
er that the ship-Owners and merchants
OF the city have become alive to the
necessity for taking measures to re-
tain their trade. They propose to in
trcduce motor cars, each of which
shall be capable Of drawing three
wagons carrying ten tons Of produce
The wagons are to be loaded at the
ships side, and the special advantage
OF their use will be that goods can in
this way be conveyed without trans
fer to other vehicles direct to the ware
houses. wherever they may be situat-
ed The ordinary highways will be
utilized for this purpose, and no rails
need be laid. 1t is expected that, by
this means, the cost of conveying mer-
chandise to and from Manchester and
other towns will be reduced to a point
with which the ship canal cannot COM
pete, and the further expecta ton is
that the railway companies will be
compelled, in self-defeHse, to lower
their rates, which. again will tell
against the ship canal The night
hours will be utilized as far as possi-
BILE. 1t is believed that fully-loaded
train of three wagons can be drawn
at Il uniform speed of six miles an
hour. Another proposed application of
motcr car is that now under discussion
by the town council Of Dover. Kent.

CeIIulose Filters.

Prof. Tyndall's idea, expressed many
years ago, that filtration through a
plug Of cotton wool was the most effi7
cient method Of freeing air from mil
cl'obe gerl's, led to attempts made toy

tie success has hitherto been attainedj
but quite recently Ne. Henry Potevin
claims that he has evolved a method
of so constructing such filters that hd
can completely steriliZe water in large
quantities. The fbers Of the cotton
are finely-powdered and sifted. and
then suspended in water and allowed
to settle. This they do in compact
mass, forming & paste, which, allowed
to dry slowly, gives filter plates quite.
impervious to germs. The best results
are attained by placing the plates be-
tween two pieces of sandstone or Eer--
forated metal, and if they are az
ranged in a battery like the filter press
es SO commonly used in Eurpe for sew
age sludge, etc. very large quantities:
of water can be rapidly sterilized., Pc
riodica1 cleanings are necessary, as,
no matter what care is taken, the rule
which holds good in all other filters
serving the same end-that the mi
crobes are able to get through the
%filtering material eventually by Il pro-
cess of growth-obtains. There is. :
however, no great difficulty in this, as
the cells of the material are easily pu-
rifed by a fresh pulping in boiling
water.

How Much Ought a Motorman to

How Much Ought a Motorman to
Know:
Street railway. companies are trying
to. determine just how much it is ad
visable for a motorman to know and
under what conditions he can be re-
garded as minding his own business
superintendent differ on what consti.
tutes in the motorman the ability td
properly handle his car. One man
wants his employees taught the theory
of electricity and the working of the
motor and gives each man a kit OF
tools, expecting him to be familiar
with their use and 20 make small re-
pairs. Another man forbids them to
open motor and expects a more mar.
row but rigid adherence to rules OF
operation. This man holds that more
harm arises from tinkering with mo-
tors than is recouped by any good that
may be effected, and he is right. He
says the motorman is hired to run the
car, and the repairs should be done in
the shops. Another official prescribes
a middle course, and would be dis
posed to allow that the motorman
should be competent to the extent OF
remedying such troubles as arise from
blowing of fuses, or breaking Of ground
circuit by the cars running into dirty
track; and even loose brushes might
be included in the category of remedial
faults. Beyond these points he would
merely ask an honest attention to work
and care of the rolling stock. 1t is
suggested that proper records should
be kept of the efficiency of motormen,
as is done with locomotive drivers Oh
the steam roads. The most useful man
is not he who can turn his hand to all
kinds of little repairs on the road, so
much as the careful operator, whose
handling Of the car renders such little
repairs unnecessary. Some men are
forever tinkering with machinery and
varying things to suit some fancy no
ion of their own, when they have not
intelligence enough to perceive the OBJ
ject Of certain details Of construction.
For example, a whole machine was re-
Gently wrecked in consequence of a
workman having omitted a single
screw because he did not think it was
necessary. Many accidents are due to
subordinates acting on similar lines.
The shop alters things to show its con-
tempt for the drawing office, but the
drawing office has to shoulder the
blame when an accident happens. In
regard to the motorman situation, the
general feeling seems to be that an Or
ganized business is best conducted on
fairly right lines as to separate duties,
and that the car shop is the best place
for repairs.

A Cheap Rapid Transit Service.

A Cheap Rapid Transit Service.
A scheme has just been adopted in
London which presents many cogent
suggestions in regard to the subject OF
rapid transit in American cities. A
great deal Of the passenger traffic of
London has for many years been car
ried on by the Metropolitan District
railway, which passed through a sue
cession of gloomy and foul-smelling
tunnels. 1t has even been said that
the ill-health of a large section of Ger
tain business communities in London
was caused mainly by the fact that
they had to pass a certain number OF
hours daily in the cars Of the railway
in going to and from business. The
possessors of ''District' stock have al
ways been looked upon as the most
long suffering of mortals, but now
change has come over the scene, and
''Districts'' are in active request. The
cause Of the transformation is the
adoption Of plan under which new
line is to be constructed underneath
the present District railway between
the Mansion house station and Earfs,
court, which is to be chiefly available
for an express service between the city
and the West End. Charing Cross will
be reached from the city in two min
utes, and Eall's court in about eight
minutes 1t is calculated that if the
new express service is used by only
one-fifth Of the passengers it can ac-.
commodate the increased gain in the
traffic to the railway would be $4,000
per week. The line will be completed,
in two and one-half years. The slgnlti--
canoe of the scheme, however, from
the American point Of view, lies in the
fact that the new road is to be OPP.
Grated electrically, and by a system:
which can easily be applied to an un-.
derground line running underneath any
elevated or surface road in the cor1n--
try No houses or land need be appro-
priated and the cost of construction is
almost ridiculously low. For instance,
the total cost Of constructing the new
London line is put at 100000.
