Railways in England.

John Macaulay,e traffic manager OF
the Mersey railway, has announced
that he is In favor of the nationalist
ton of the railways of the United King
dom, and declares that the question is
rapidly becoming one Of practical poll
tics. He says that railroads, like all
other roads, should be under public
authority, and wisely used, with bust
ness-like interest of adequately salts
flying needs of the nation, with the
least possible waste and duplication
Of useless work." Mr. Macaulay esti-
maltese that at least 20 to "a per cent.
of the total working cost of the rail-
ways would be saved by the mere act
OF consolidation. One of the advan-
tages he notes would be that railways
could be constructed and worked at a
loss where advisable in those parts of
the nation where companies would not
build because it would not pay" Thus
many industries and localities now un-
developed would receive new life, and
:itwould pay the country to lose money
on the railways for years. .,

There, if did not forget those

She was taken to the telephone by

On Children's Readings.

Some people congratulate themselveA
when their children take to reading.
But they sometimes forget that a boy
is not necessarily out of mischief when
he is absorbed in his book. Much de-
pends upon the character of the books
and papers he reads II he revels in
such papers as The Police News, Detec-
tive on the Wing and The New York
Story Paper, or in such books as
"Peck's Bad Boy" "New York Ned in
California" "Deadwood Dick in Dead
City," and ..The Wild Man Of the
Mountain" he is in far worse business
than if he slammed the doors, disar-
ranged the rugs and mats, slid down the
stair rail or went tearing over the car
pet with his rough shoes. r.
Indian hunters, desperadoes, highway
robbers, pirates, runaway boys, snake
charmers, gamblers and tramps are
no better company. in papers and books
than in everyday life If reading
serves only to introduce one into dis
reputable society, or to familiarize one
with slang, cheating and fighting or to
inculcate wrong views of life, it were
better that one remain forever an igno-
ramus. We should avoid the bad book
or bad paper as we would a bad map
or woman.

An Instructive Experiment.

The direction of growth of root ant
stem is not merely accidental one.
A number of Investigators have been
at work to see what is the cause of this
Numerically opposed growth in stem
and root. It has been suggested that
the action of gravitation would take
some part in the guidance of the roots.
This is, in fact, the apparent tendency
of the following experiments
Beans have been made to terminate
when placed on the circumference of
an iron or wooden wheel surrounded
with moss SO as to maintain the mois-
T ture of the seeds, and holding little
troughs full of mold open on two sides
the wheel being put in motion in a
vertical direction by current OF
water and made to describe many revo-
lutions in minute. In consequence of
. this rotary movement, producing the
particular force known in mechanics as
centrifugal force, the action of gravita-
ton is as it were annihilated, and the
sprouting seed, removed from it's in
fuence, is subjected to centrifugal
force only. See what occurs: The

Modern Telltales.

Do school children of the present
day hold in less aversion the "telltale''
or "tattle tale" than did those who, a
quarter of century ago, braved the
masters rod rather than tell? asks the
New York Post. The question is sug-
gested by the report of a test made in
the schools of Utica by Superintendent
George Griffith. At his prompting 5000
children were asked to give their writ
ten opinion, anonymously, it is sup
posed, as to whether one pupil should
testify against another Voluntary
telling or "tattling" was not meant in
the test, but only Is per cent Of the
children noted the distinction, so that
the result may be accepted as the chill
dren's opinion of the "tattler.' The
: question asked was whether it was
right or wrong, and it appears that the
boys hold more robust views Judged
in the remembrance of old. school
days. on the matter than do the girls.
Of the 1884 who answered the ques-
ton, 494 boys, or 80 per cent, and 375
girls, or Is per cent, considered it right
not to tell, the larger percentage Of
both regarding it as wrong. In other
days the "tattler" was ostracized after
having been soundly thrashed outside
of the school yard, and those who aided
in the .thrashing can hardly understand
the mental attitude of the Utica chill
dren, who justify the talebearer, wheth-
er his information comes voluntarily or
on request. . 81. f..szl -.

PUZZLE IN PRONUNCIATION.
Test for People who Think they Know

Test for People who Think They Know
the Dictionary.
From the New York Times: The fol-
lowing episode has no literary value
to commend it, but it will prove very
clever puzzle to any assemblage as a
test of the ability of people to pro-
nounce readily and correctly, many
common words of their native tongue.
The list which contains no words OF
disputed pronunciation, is as follows:
An interesting inquiry took place in
the court of oyer and terminer some
time ago. Indisputable evidence was
given toward proving that heinous
incident had taken place during pub
lie pageant. It seems that pretty
girl, rather juvenile in appearance,
having an extraordinary head of hair,
like an Albino, represented Thalia and
sat on pedestal erected on one of the,
floats The procession was directing
its course down the mall when the at
tention of the onlookers was drawn to
the excited conduct of one of the spec
tators who had fixed her eyes upon the
tiara, set with jewels in the form OF
caret, which Thalia wore upon her
head as she sat in what seemed to be
her wonted attitude of nonchalance
and leisure. This person was after
ward shown to be maniacal laundress
whose squalor and detestation and hid
eous grimaces were all unnoticed by
the mock goddess. What vagary babe
this reptile turn her servile eyes, full
of rapine, on the beautiful maiden it is
hard to say, but suddenly, under pre-
tense of seeing something on the
ground, she produced a hiatus in the
crowd, and thus obtained precedence
of all. simultaneously with her ap-
pearance the van drove past. She then
filled the air with gross raillery and
began to promulgate anarchism, socie-
tvs lack of probity, and general pre-
objection of politicians for patronage.
Then she besought her audience hear
her dilate on the glaciers of the Alps,
the ruins of Pompeii, the female fran
chise, the Pleiades and her patron
saint. She was evidently demented,
and the flow of her vocables appeared
| endless. Suddenly she raised a pestle
which had been hidden under her shawl
and threw it directly at the vision on
| the girls head. Thereupon flaccld
photographer, who was cutting a swath
as a tribune on the following van,
grasped, a seine and threw it over the
gaunt old bag, so that her efforts to
escape were futile, and she became as
| docile as lamb. The pathos of the
affair lay in the way the girl bore the
| ordeal. In court the virago gave an
| alias instead of her own name. Her de-
tense was that of vaccine, whose pres
ence, as shown by scabious arm, to-
/ gether with desuetude in the matter
of personal freedom, had produced an
| obsession which decreed the irrevo-
| cable death Of the girl. An inventory
of her belongings was made, and she
was then sent to an asylum as a VIC
tim of acute homicidal mania.

WORN IN THE HOUSE:

A gown of pale blue crepe de chine
has lace overdress and a belt of tur-
quoise and diamonds. It is warranted
to stay fresh for at least two weeks,
and then must be sent to the cleaners

A satisfactory tea gown is of soft
gray liberty satin, sunkilteds from a
very deep yoke, which is covered with
gray chiffon frill and pale yellow lace.
Sleeves of gray chiffon wrinkle to the
wrist, and over them hang sleeves OF
lace which drop to the hem of the
skirt. H. 4
A tea gown should always be soft
and clinging, and a woman who uses
stiff brocades and satins for her house
gowns makes big mistake. Chiffon
and lace, liberty satin and crepe de
chine are the best materials, though
they are not very durable. A Joy. but
a fieeting one is a tea gown of rose
chiffon, draped with pale cream lace
mounted over rose-pink liberty satin.
A tea gown made Of liberty satin in
a dull mauve shade has a deep yoke
covered with ecru chiffon draped with
pale yellow lace, and train of pale
yellow lace. The sleeves are of gath
cred mauve chiffon, and the neck is cut
just little square. Mauve is sood

British Postal Reforms.

Numerous reductions of charges and
extensions were made by the British
postoffice during 1897. Postage on do
nestle letters was made one penny e
cents) for four ounces, with an addi-
tional haf-penny for ev1ry two ounces:
Thus in Great Britain it costs only 2
cents to send letter weighing six
ounces, while in the United States il
would cost twice as much. Merchants
are allowed to inclose bills with goods
sent by parcel post. Most important
was the completion of the transfer of
the trunk telephone system of the Unit
ted Kingdom to the postofice depart
