A BRAVE MOTHER.

She was a careful mother. The fam
lily of children had been well brought
up, but they We're rather fastidious in
some things, and hard times had made
it difficult to please everybody. How
ever, the good soul always insisted
upon the plate of porridge and milk ev-
cry morning for breakfast as a good
commencement for the day. Other food
might fail, but she managed to provide
the jug of fresh milk out of her limited
resources, and the boys and girls of
that household thrived, though conn
mons We're often short. But one morn
ing the mother happened to look into
her jug after she divided the precious
quart among her offspring. Her own
thimbleful lay at the bottom, and in the
milk destined for the plateful of por-
ridge in front of her was a great ugly
! cockroach-an exaggeration Of the or
binary roach, it seemed to her disgust
ed vision.
Here was a dilemma. How on earth
was she to find another jugful of milk?
Meanwhile the children We're enjoying
their porridge. They tasted nothing
amiss in the morning mess; and, in
deed. when asked, the eldest boy
thought that his porridge tasted better
| than he had known it for long time.
Could she sacrifice a good breakfast
under the circumstances? For not a
child would eat another spoonful if the
| horror We're revealed. 1t was a puzzle,
Yet to keep silence, meant that the dis
tressed mother would have curious
eyes upon her, and that would never
do. So at last, in desperation, rather
than send the children away hungry,
| she poured out the remainder of the
| precious fluid as if nothing were the
matter, taking care to keep the disgust
| ing insect at the bottom of the jug, and
| then with an inward prayer for
strength she proceeded to eat. The
meal ended in due course but the Sc
cret remained undiscovered. Every
body enjoyed the morning porridge ex-
cept the mother. There is heroism and
heroism-we are in doubt how to clas-
sify this bit of Brisbane experience

eighty more are soon to be added. The
batteries are charged from the trolley
lines outside the city limits. In Dres-
den similar double system is employ

till they reach the city limits. and then

ties Of storage batteries, for it Will

STORAGE BATTERIES.
Improving, But Long Way Yet From
a Commercial Success

Improving, But Long Way Yet From
a Commercial Success.
1t was supposed that when the long
battery patents had come to an end
the company controlling all the
essential patents would at once develop
a battery for use on street cars ofwhose
commercial value there would be no
doubt New York and Washington
offered favorable fields for the in
PRODUCTION of storage battery cars, for
trolley lines have been prohibited in.
both cities In New York horse cars
are generally employed, but there
are also cable lines. Unsuccessful ex-
periments have been made with COM
pressed air motors, and the under
ground electric system is about to be
introduced, though the system has made
no Roadway in Europe. AS a matter
of fact, no system of street car pro-
pulsion in use in America is without its
drawbacks. Horses are of course out
of the question; the trolley is objection
able because of the overhead wire con-
struction; the underground trolley is
not reliable in bad weather, and the slot
can be said of the cable road. The
electrical roads operated by means of
contact plates have not been put to
practical tests. 1t may be added that
in all of the systems named the cars
are not independent motors, but have
to have power transmitted to them, so
that a break in the system stops all
the cars Compressed air motors and
storage batteries give promise of more
satisfactory service than cables or
electric lines. whether overhead or
underground, for in both systems the
power to operate car is stored upon
it, and each is independent of the
others. A car provided with storage
batteries or with reservoir of COM
pressed air suitable motors can even
be taken off the tracks, whereas troll
lev or cable car is helpless except when
in connection with the source of power.
Under these circumstances a fine OPEN
ing is presented of compressed air or
storage battery cars. if they can be run
in commercial competition with trolley
or cable cars.
As before remarked compressed air
has been tried in New York and aband-
oned. doubtless because of the expense
of operating. Storage batteries have
| never been tried in this country on
what could properly be called large
| enough scale to test their economy. In
| Europe they are extensively used, and
with apparent success for the number
| OF storage battery cars and Of lines
! using them is being steadily increased.
| 1t is not clear. however. that they can
| complete in cheapness with the over
! head trolley system. They are APP
| parently used in cities which prohibit
the erection of a trolley lines outside Of
| the city limits. In Hanover sixty cars
have been equipped with batteries, and

In southern California is found the

Here are the Golden Apples of the
Hesperides," ripening beneath sky
more beautiful than that of Rome, and
in a climate more perfect than that of
Athens. Never in the widest flights of

Hesoid ever conceive of a garden rich
er in verdant beauty, more productive
of luscious fruit, or set amid more pic
turesaue and lovely surroundings. Here
the rose entwines the orange, and the
snow-mantled peaks of the Sierras re-
fleet the golden glow OF the evening
twilight.

NEW YORK'S GREAT PARK.

An Englishman was showing his
his friend, an American, through the
houses of Parliament, in London the
meanwhile commenting in a somewhat
arrogant manner upon what he was
pleased to term the superiority of the
English public buildings and parks.
There he exclaimed ''is our magni-
ffcent Thames Embankment a delight
full spot! Why, you have nothing in
your country to compare with it es-
pecially in that great New York city:
then again, every gentleman here owns
an estate, and let me assure you, sir,
such estates are no small bits of pro-
perty."
This went on for a considerable time,
until the American, growing tired, said,
But, Lord de T., you have Travelled in
our country, have you not?"
ooh, yes my dear sir; right across
it,
well, then, you should have a fair
idea of it's size.
Very big place, sir, very big"
and you know New York city quite
well, eh?'
ooh, yes--indeed."
well, then, you see, we didn't want
anything in the line Of parks in New
York, with, of course, the exception of
a few squares; but outside of the city
we wanted park, and so we decided to
use the United States as a park for

Dangerous Use Of
Strong Purgatives.

Most pills, purgatives and Bit
ter Waters, which act quickly
upon the bowels, irritate and often
destroy the mucous coats of the
stomach and bowels. Indeed thei1
cathartic action is directly caused
by the irritation of the bowels,
which they produce. Their action
should be soothing and stimula-
ting instead of irritating. A con-
tinued use of such remedies pro-
duces chronic inflammation Of
the stomach and bowels. This
often ends in dangerous disease.
The use of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, is highly
recommended as an aperient, lax
ative and diuretic, because its ac-
ton is due solely to its solvent
and stimulating properties. 1t
soothes and allays Inflammation,
and is therefore much preferable
to all strong purgatives and Bitter
Waters.

Pawtucket and Fall River Reporters Will
Play Saturday Evening.
Manager Scott Of the Bona Eide Press
Polo Club was the most excited individual
in town last night. Some time ago arrange
ments were partially perfected for game
between the newspaper men OF Pawtucket
and Fall River, and with every probability
of game the local scribes went into train
ing for the encounter. Then rumors began
to ooze out that the Fall Riverites were
weakening and would not play. Nothing
was heard relative to the matter until last
night, when Manager Scott received let
ter from the captain OF the Fall River Press
Club as follows: "As captain of the Fall
River Press Club wish to inform you that
the Fall River press representatives will
arrive in Pawtucket Saturday afternoon
at 4 o'clock, and expect to be in fairly good.
condition to do battle with the Pawtucket
men i'm the evening"
We have three fairly good players and
the rest are leaners and polo is something
new to them. Therefore we do not expect
to win by more goals than the law allows.

LIKE A FABIED PALACE.
6Gew Congressional Library Illuminated
For the First Time.

New Congressional Library IuumAnotoo
For the First Time.
A few invited senator's and others
witnessed brilliant and beautiful sight
the other night at tho new Congressional
library, in Washington. Itwas arranged
to test tho electric lighting plant and il.
Illuminate the vast building for the first
time. Senator and Mrs. Morrill,, Senator
and Mrs. Cullom, Senator and Mrs.
Sherman, Secretary and Mrs. Lamont,
Congressman Cannon, Grosvenor, Cooke,
Van Voorhh and q few Others were ask
ed to witness the illumination.
The lights were first turned on in one
after another Of the beautiful rooms,
and finally, when the whole magnificent
interior was ablaze, the effect was said
to be beyond description. The fact that
all the vast rooms were empty and un-
obstructed by any books or furniture
made their illumination doubly effect
i've. The frescoes and paintings, the art
glass ceilings, the beautiful marble cary
irgs and the gliding which everywhere
predominated made the interior like O
tabled palace.
Congressman Cooke, who saw the
illumination, said afterward: II wit
messed tonight one ofSthe grandest sights
of my life. All the architectural fables
were instantly realized when the library
was fully lighted. II is impossible to
imagine anything more beautiful, and
IL is equally impossible to describe the
effect produced by the appearance OF one
room after another in blaze OF splen-
dor. The tabled palaces described III
the Arabian Nights are all realized

by vote OF II to 72. declined to consider

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Feb. 4.-The race of
the sleighing season took place on the
Reservoir avenue boulevard yesterday af-
ternoon, when Charley A, owned by
Stephen H. Briggs, defeated Riverside,
owned by Grafton A. Wiley. Three heats
were trotted, and Charley A won all and
the 800 purse. A large amount of outside
money changed hands.
Gagged From the Spot.
The New Bedford team have lost but
four games on their own rink 30 far this
year.
The Grays will try conclusions tonight
with what Is left of the New Bedford polo
team, and the Tigers go to Salem.
1t is very probable that the Fall Rivers
will cut more of figure in the wind-up
of the League race than the New Bedfords.
Fall River is the only other team in the
league beside the Pawtuckets in which no
changes have been made in the makeup
of the teams.
1t looks as though Dick Furbush would
be tried in all the teams in the Maine
League. Tonight he will play with Lewis
ton at Portland.
Although Manning, the new referee, was
assigned 10 what was supposed to be the
Gghtest game of the two last evening, 1t is
doubtful il there was much choice as far
as easy work was concerned.
AS an additional feature in Infantry
Hall, Providence, during the remainder of
the season the management will introduce
various features, the first of which will be
an exhibition by Prof. William E. Livesey
on Monday evening of fancy skating. The
professor will be remembered as appearing
at the Tim Sullivan benefit in this city
and that given for the Dunning family in
