A Modern Instance.

The wonderful advance made in the
science of farming during the last few
wears is one of the best examples OF
American progressiveness. A little
incident recounted by the Ashtabula
(Ohio) Sentinel is characteristic. One
evening. a short time ago, society In
jefferson needed a gallon of cream.
The committee called up by telephone
the proprietors of milk farm two
miles north of the town. and asked If
they could furnish it. The reply was
that they could as soon as milking was
done. In thirty minutes from the time
the call was made, the cream was de-
livered. The milk had been drawn
from the COW, put into a separator, the
cream extracted and sent to town by a
man on a bicycle. A few years ago the
committee would have had to send a

IMAGINATION PLAYS.

How the LittIo Ones May he Entranced
by Wise Parents Who Want To See

There was once a mother with sew
eral children, who, being a poor wo-
man. had all her household work to do.
She often toiled far beyond her
strength, yet she was never too busy
to get up some little scheme for anus
ing the children, and as the years
taught her experience, she devised
something at the outset of busy day.
says the Philadelphia Times. She
took half an hour to start the mimic
housekeeping in the playhouse, or she
began the building of a fort and got
out the toy soldiers, or she took
stick, if the morning was in summer
and addressed It thus: you look like
a stick, but you are really little shep-
herd boy, with long, brown hair hang

in goat skins and you have a little pipe
in your hand, on which you can play

are wild and savage mountains,
pointing to the woodpile and the hill
locks by the orchard, but there are
no recesses in them so wild that you
| do not know them. There are no
caves which you cannot find, and we

much, when we are chased by robbers

AUTOCABS
Are Failures and Have Been Withdrawn
from Service in Paris.


from Service In Paris.
London News: In the great strug-
gle. horse versus motor car, the horse
has scored a noteworthy victory. the
Paris motor cabs are failure. BY this
we do not mean to say that they VIII
not run along under mechanical pro-
pulsion, but that that mechanical pro-
pulsion is too costly. 1t is all ques-
ton of price. If steam or electricity
costs more than horsefesh for given
amount of work then motor cars VIII
continue to be merely a rich man S
toy. In Paris, at all events, the COM
parison comes out in favor OF the
horse. Some months ago twenty-five
motor cabs were put on the ranks, and
for a time all went well. The fares
were the same necessarily as those
of the old-fashioned vehicles, and
therefore people enjoyed new sensa-
ton without, as ii were, having to pay
for II. But it soon became evident that
| the drivers. or whatever they may be
called. were shy of picking up odd Gus
! toners, and il came to this, that there
was very little chance of getting one
unless one hired it by the day or hall
day. Now. the company formally an
nounces that its vehicles will no longer
ply for hire on the cab ranks. The
numbers will be taken off them, anc
henceforth they will be no Longer
"voitures de place" but "voitures do
remise," or job carriages, which means
that a considerable higher fare will b'
charged, and that they cannot be nae
for less than, say half day. But tn
triumph of the horse may only be TEN
porary. as it is unlikely that the en-
gineers who are striving to effect re
duction in the cost of mechanical trar
ton have said their last word.

The greatest result of the recent
was the raising of $4,000 toward the
establishment Of school of economics.
1t is proposed to create a committee
of Well-known gentlemen, who will UNI
dertake to secure pledges of $4,000 a
year for two years. The first work
to be attempted will be the prosecu-
ton of researches into price move
ments as related to money, trusts,
tariffs, ETC.; changes in wages and the
number of the unemployed from time
to time; and the result of the various
attempts of local and national authori-
ties in this and other countries to reg
ulate and to operate such monopolies
as electric light, gas, street railways
telephones, railroads, telegraphs, the
express business, etc. The co-opera-
ton of public libraries will be sought
and assurances have already been re-
ceived that press associations reaching
millions of readers will be glad to pub
lish any results of these investiga
tions. 1t is expected to establish {
large correspondence department, fur
nish lecturers, at small charge abov,
travelling expenses for schools, college,
and extension centers, conduct sum
mer school, and later, if funds shall b.
sufficient, instruction will be givel
during the winter months. The head
quarters of this school will probably b
in New York or Boston, but branch
at least, will probably be establ!she

Philadelphia is greatly excited over
a daring robbery recently committed
in the quiet Quaker city. The con-
ductor of trolley car fell asleep as his
conveyance sped along and was robbed
of his fare register while he dozed-an
outrage which not only speaks volumes
for the audacity of the thief, but tells
eloquently Of the Arcadian simplicity
and blissful drowsiness which hangs
over PHILADELPHIA.

A new international question has
been raised by recent antics of the Rio
Grande river in changing its course.
The river formerly flowed within a few
yards of Fort Ringgold, Texas, but has
forsaken its old channel and made a
new one a mile southeast, entirely in
Mexican territory. A treaty with
Mexico made in 1884, provides that
the abandonment of an existing bed by
the river and the formation of new
one shall not effect a change of the
boundary But as Fort Ringgold de-
pended entirely on the Rio Grande for
it's water supply, and as the United
States requires a military post there,
the matter has been referred to the in
ternational boundary commission for
settlement.

How They Rewarded Madame steriinf

uoxv They Rewarded Madame Sterling
Madame Antoinette Sterling, the
contralto singer and evangelist, had an
experience in the Bombay presidency,
India. which is as quaint as any OF
Kinling's tales of the hills. She was
campaigning with Pundita RamaDal'
and through her magnificent voice was
drawing thousands of natives to her
meetings. They had never seen that
kind of a missionary before, and had
never heard a voice like hers. They
were so pleased with her work that
they said to themselves: This is
foreign woman guru, and for fear oil
giving offense to us she has omitted
TO put her begging-bowl outside OF heI
door for us to put in the customary
contributions" In India, every gurr
or holy person carries brass. wood OF
clay begging-bowi into which the de
vout put some small sum Of money
Madame Sterling walked out upon TIT
veranda of her bungalow one morning
and there, to her amazement, foun'
two begging-bowls. One, a little one
with a few annas in it intended for tn
Pundita. and one, an enormous affair
containing a handsome sum of anna
and rupees for herself The only ex
PLANTATION she could ever extract from
the servant was. this: Little bowl
little money for the little Pundita wit
little voice. Big bowl-big money TO
big Missahib with big voice" Madam
Sterling was one OF the principe
speakers among the American wome
at the International council recent
held in London.
