'"The time has come" said a superintend-
ent OF motive power OF one of the Indian
apolis systems, when the fireman is re-
ceiving as much attention as does the engi-
neer, from the operating department. The
time when the fireman would fill his firebox
full of coal at the approach to a long grade
and crawl up to the window and look at
the scenery Is past, and with 1t have gone
the great wreaths of black smoke that once
denoted the presence of a train miles away
The change has been brought about by the
Introduction of what the railroad men call
the one-shovel system, and. aside from be-
ing a great ~money-saver, 1t is also a saver
of the most expensive machinery the COM
panies are called upon to buy. In the ac-
counts Of fast runs that have been made
during the last few months a good deal of
attention has been paid to the firemen and
the work they do. The new system is very
simple. 1t means merely that one shovelful
OF coal is put on at a time and this is scat
tered around so hat the surface of the coal
Is evenly distributed over the bed of redhot
Goals under the boilers. In this system the
heat is always the best and the combustion
Is nearer perfect. On the proper handling of
the fireman's shove depends a good deal Of
the speed and strength of the engine If
the firebox is properly tended the maximum
amount OF speed can be secured, but IL 1t
IS improperly fed neither speed nor strength
IS expected There is another point, also,
wherein there is a great difference. The fire.
men were at one time paid as mere ma
chimes to shovel coal into the fi~reboxes, but
now they are considered as of value 10 the
road, II they know their business. and hence
the pay Is higher"

Low Export Rate. Defended.

Charles Ccunselman. Of the Chicago Board
OF Trade. testified before the Interstate
Commission at Chicago yester-
day. and In emphatic language defended the
lower rates for exporting grain as COM
pared with the transportation charges for
grain and grain products destined for do
nestle points. Mr.. Counseiman predicted
that any arbitrary d-isarrangement of the
present relation between export and domes-
tic rates, or an increased tariff for export
ing grain, would result disastrously TO prices
IN this country. The witness added that
such a contingency would block the chan
nels Of trade with surplus grain which
could FIND no other outlet than in European
markets. Furthermore, said Mr.. Counsel
man, the competition in European markets
TO supply the demand there was so keen
from all countries of the world producing a
surplus of grain that IL was absolutely es-
sential to adjust the export rates TO the
competitive situation abroad. Railroad traf-
fc officials who preceded Mr.. Counselman
admitted that the present low export rate,
as compared with the charge of carrying
grain and products from Chicago to East
ern domestic points. was almost entirely de-
ermined by competition among the rail-
roads for the export grain business.

PREMIER DUPUY OF FRANCE.

shears and the brilliant scarlet pouch
at his neck occasionally inflated, he
waits, waits, until some fussy BOBBY,
Ike IN %overladen housewife hurrying
nome from market, comes tapping
along toward her nest. Then the broad
pinions suddenly close, and down like
lightning comes the marauder. With
a wild shrek Of terror BOBBY disgorges
her fish, but ere it reaches the water
out flash the black wings again, and
with a grand sweep the assailant has
passed beneath his frightened victim,
caught the plumber and scared sky
ward. In like manner these birds may
sometimes be seen to catch a flying
fish on the wing, a truly marvellous
feat. 1t is, nevertheless, a pathetic
sight to see them, when old age or
sickness overtakes them, sitting in
lonely dignity among the rocks where
they breed helplessly awaiting with
glazing eyes and dropping plumage the
tardy coming Of d~eliverance.

with his fingers on the keys of the pi-

her for two whole hours, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. She had
planned what she would do. She had
q new book and a box of candy and
some embroidery and she nobly re-
solved to bid him good-by cheerfully
and not have tear-stained eyes when
he returned either. She rode down to
the station with him and he kissed
her good-by. She watched him get into
the train and her eyes grew misty.
Two hours! If he missed the train he
might be gone two hours and twenty
minutes. What did he want to see that
horrid lawyer for, anyhow Surely a
lawsuit, even one that involved money,
was a small matter to take him away
from his bride of a fortnight. The
train moved slowly out of the station,
He stood on the platform, waving his
hat and throwing kisses to her, OBJ
livious Of the amusement of the bag
gagemen On the station platform. She
watched the train swing around the
curve and cross the bridge. Suppose
the bridge should break? The train
would plunge into the river and he
would be drowned. But the rumble
was far off now. The bridge was
crossed in safety. She wished she had
not married. She had always thought
that widows must feel that way. What
was the use of marrying only to be
bereft of ones husband? She had
been very happy as a girl. Very happy,
indeed. Why had she given up her
care-free existence to be the lonely
wife of a man who cared more for
money and lawyers than he did for
her? Why had she done 1t? Simply
to please him, because 1t was easier to
comply than refuse. A boy whiZzlng
By on a bicycle stopped and handed her
q letter. She looked at the superscrip-
ton, MRS Sidney Willis" and groaned
In spirit. Even her name, her pretty
aritocratic name, Of which all her
family was so proud, was gone. How
chilly and formal and lonely 1t would
be to be always called Mrs. Willis and
never be Miss Dolly Van Schaick again.
She had reached the house now and
she wandered disconsolately upstairs.
She thought of all the pretty things
that had been said Of and to Miss Van
Schaick and the more she thought OF
1t the more bitterly did she ber1oan
her lost name. She forgot her en-
broidery and her candy and her book
and gave herself up to tears. She
didn't even zeal the whistle Of the
train from New Rochelle. At last there
was a knock at the door, go away"
sobbed the unhappy Mrs. Willis. But
Dolly, it's me-it's Its Dick. What
is the matter?" b~esought Mr.. Willis
through the keyhole. Then she opened
the door and told him. He was offend
cd. It took a good many kisses and
explanations to make him appreciate
the superiority of Van Schaick to VIII
lis. But, once convinced, he sym
pathized with her and consented to call
her Miss Van Schaick for a month "un'
til the novelty wore off,"

British Soldiers Must Get Permission
from Their Officers.

The question of permission to marry
Is a burning one in the barrack room.
Only a limited number Of men are al
lowed to marry, the strength of the
roll varying with the establishment OF
the corps; sergeants are given permits
sion to marry as a matter of course, II
there Is a vacancy in the establish
ment, but nj soldier is allowed to en-
ter the blessed state unless he has sew
en- years service, $25 in the savings
lank, and two good-conduct badges.
l have heard it said that there is such
a thing as borrowing the $25 till the
necessary permission has been OBJ
tanned, but there is no getting over
the other two conditions. The married
quarters seem comfortable enough;
what strikes us most is the enormous
number of babies and quite young chill
dren who swarm round the door of
every quarter; occasional yells leading
to the hasty arrival of a flushed and
heated looking matron to restore order
in a summary fashion. The allowance
of space does not strike one as partic-
ularly liberal, soldiers with sraall fam
lilies being given only one room with
the. minutest possible scullery, the
fathers of larger families rejoicing in
an extra room. ~Sergeants, as a rule,
have two rooms, but otherwise have no
pull over their comrades of lower rank.
The wives of the private soldiers add
largely to the scanty pay of their hus-
bands by doing washing for the men
OF their husbands company, and twice
blessed is the woman whose good man
belongs to a company having few mar
ried soldiers. In this case she will be
able to get more to do than her less
fortunate sisters. Some of the women
who have a reputation as wHsherwcm-
en- earn plenty of money by washing
for the officers of the regiment. The
soldiers wife seems to drift naturally
into being a washerwoman. A little
conversation with the ladies is a liberal
education in esprit de corps; each
woman thoroughly identifies herself
with the regiment to which her hus-
band belongs; and even in these days
OF short service it is MOI difficult to
ind women whose fathers and grand
fathers have soldiered in bygone days
under the tattered colors now hanging

CZAR'S FAMILY LIFE.
and His Wife Are Devoted to
Each Other.

Each Other.
Perhaps the desire of the car of
Russia for peace among the nations re-
ce1ves inspiration from his own fam
lily circle. A correspondent quotes a
Russian princess as saying the domes-
tic life of the emperor and empress is
beautiful. Their imperial majesties'
family life," the princess declares, sis
a perfect picture of what an ideal we'd
ded life should be. Though living in
an atmosphere charged with scandal,
they are wholly wrapped up in each
other. The czar himself, since his
marriage, seems innocence personified,
SO pure and good is he. 1t really
seems impossible that there should be
one Of his subjects who could know
him, or even know of his of
life, without loving him. However, he
avoids the crowd and the applause of
the populace, so that few really know
him as he is. 1t is perfectly true, for
1 was with her majesty at the palace
at the time, that during the czarina's
convalescence after her serious ILL
ness three years ago, that the czar
with difficulty wrenched himself from
his consort's presence. He spent hours
at the czarina's side, and there he also
transacted much of the business of
the state. The czar also had his writ
ing table conveyed from his study,
with his books of reference, and placed
In a window recess of her majesty's
bed chamber, and there it remained
until the czarina was up and about
again. Ever since the docile Darn
stadt princess of the simplest tastes
made her triumphal entry into the for
bidding winter palace she has been uni
versally regarded among the lower
classes throughout all the Russias as
the guardian angel of the nation. The
bourgeoisie and the rustic element
worship her."

WHEN WELCOME IS WORN OUT
Tactful Hints of Hosts who Are Weary
of Guests.

An Ohio host, wearied out of all en-
durance by the persistency of his guest,
chose as his medium the family prayer
after breakfast, and said: 30 Lord,
bless our visiting brother, who will
leave us on the 10 o'clock train this
morning" 1 prefer the subtler and
more reverent method of another
Ohioan, the father of William Dean
Howells, the novelist. His practice
was, when a visitor had worn out his
welcome, to be called away on bust
ness and to say to his guest: 81 sup
pose you will not be here when I re-
turn, so l will wish you good-by."
Excellent and highly appreciated by
the boys was the formula used by DR..
Vaughn, when, as headmaster of Har-
row school, he had to entertain the
highest form in the school in patches
at breakfast. Commissioning the BASH
fulness of the lads who did not know
how to leave and yet wanted to do so,
the doctor would say-apropos Of moth
ing: "Must you go? Can't you stay?"
This was the signal for departure. I
admire very heartily the tr~ansposition
of a laundering narrator, who, in tell
ing this story, gave the formula as
Cant you go? Must you stay?" A
fellow feeling makes one wondrous
kind to this revised version.

1895, when he retired with high hon

AS TRUE AS GOSPEL.

Speak well of your friend, Of youl
enemy. say nothing.
He who says what he likes will hear
what he does not like.
A mans name are the mirror in
which he shows his portrait.
Learning is either good or bad ac-
cording to him that has tan excel
lent weapon, If well used; otherwise,
like a sharp razor in the hands Of a
child.
Life is no idle dream, but a solemn
reality based on and encompassed by
eternity. Find out your work, and
stand to it; the night cometh when no
man can work.
All brave men are brave in initia-
tive, but the courage which enables
them to succeed where others dare not
even attempt is never SO potent as
when it leads to entire self-forgetful-
ness.
Not unremembered is the hour when
first friends met. Friends, but friends
on earth, and therefore dear; sough'
oft and sought almost as oft in vain
vet always sought, so native to the
heart; SO much desired and coveted by
all.
Human happiness has no perfect Sc
curity but freedom, freedom none but
virtue. virtue none but knowledge has
anv freedom, virtue nor knowledge
has any vigor of immortal hope except
III the principles of the Christian faitn
and in the sanctions of the Christian
religion.
