Trolley WI1hort Wires.

The electric trolley system to be intro
luced III Paris in time for the internal
tonal exposition of 1900 is vastly differ
ent from that commonly enjoyed in the
United States, inasmuch as the danger
Gus overhead wires are absolutely done
away with. The new system is the in
ventio,t Of the French engineer Bochet,
and while rather simple, it steers clear
Of the objection on account of unsightly
obstruction. which is usually raised
when overhead wires have to go up
Rochet establishes overhead contacts
from the electric lamp posts belonging
10 the city. the distance between posts
being somewhat smaller than the length
Of the electric train, consisting Of two
or three cars, so that contact is always
assured at one point at least. Through
flexible points of contact suspended from
each electric light post along the pro-
posed line the current will be taken
up by means of n copper rail fastened
along the edge Of the roof of the car, not
less than fourteen or fifteen feet from
the ground. The contact point will slide
along that copper rail, and there is not
the slightest difficulty in esta bishing a
continuous current if the points of con-
tact are made sufficiently elastic. The
current is allowed to return to the power
station through the track of the line, as
usual. This system offers all the bene-
hts of the overhead as well as of the
underground systems, without any Of
their shortcomings.-Phi Philadelphia Rec

Difference in Stalls.

Rere is an amusing story of John Hare
and his coachman. Wishing to hear a
particular performance at a certain the
alter, Mr.. Hare sent his trusty coachman
to secure stalls. In due time the plain
blunt man, who understood more about
stables than theaters, returned heavily
laden with what appeared to be diff
cult verbal message.
We'll, did you get the stalls?" in
quired the great actor.
mo, SIR replied the coachman; 'the
stalls We're all taken up; but they told
me to tell you they would be very pleased
toto"
Here the message seemed to evaporatc
leaving a dry, worried expression on thC
coachman's face. Then, as he scratched
his head, a sudden CLEAN of intelligence
struck in, and he concluded the message
to his own satisfact ito put you in 4

The general passenger agent of one of
the Chicago trunk lines received a letter
from a Kansas City man the other day
requesting a pass for himself to Chicago
and return. There was nothing about the
letter to indicate that the writer had any
claim whatsoever to the courtesy he re-
quested, but the railway man thought
that perhaps the Kansan had some con-
nection with the road in some way, posi-
bly, as a local freight agent. SO he wrote
back: please state explicitly on what
account you request transportation" By

What Do the Children Drink at the
Table /?

Coffee and tea are injurious; they get
tired of milk or water, and there is but
one other thing to give them, that is,
Grain-O, a new food drink that takes
the place Of coffee and tastes so much
like it that even the parents can't tell
the difference. 1t is the opposite TO
coffee, for instead of breaking down
the nervous system it builds it up. in
stead Of making one bilious it keeps
the whole system in a healthy condi-
ton. Grain-O is a delicious table bev-
erage made of pure grains. having the
rich seal brown color of Mocha or Java.
Grain-O is not a medicine. but a food
drink that every one likes and every
one of the family can drink without the
least injury. 1t costs only about one
quarter as much as coffee. Sold by ali
grocers, 15c. and 25c. per package.

between Iowa and California no state
has any special capacity for exceeding
Colorado either in the amount of milk
that can be turned into whey and cheese
or in facilities for reaching q big mas

AS a matter of fact. there are only
four brands of cheese in the world that
constitute Il regular adjunct to the table
Of all classes of consumers. These are
the Stilton cheese of England. the Edam
cheese of Holland, the Schweitzerkase
of Switzerland and the Herkimer of
New York. The Stilton cheese is said TO
derive its distinguishing qualities from
the pasturage of the stock: the Edam
gets it qualities from the manner of

used in the composition, and the Herki-
mer from both the pasturage and the
herbs
