Quick Work On the Bible

ELECTRIC CAB STATION,
Entertaining Scenes Where Horsele:

Cabs Are Given New Power.
One of the most entertaining sights
which any city in which the electric
cab has been introduced affords is the
cab station itself during the rush
hours. The cabs wheel in and out Of
the station, as they return from their
trips, or are called out, swiftly and
noiselessly. What strikes the observ-
err most, perhaps, is the astonishing
ease and accuracy with which they
are guided by the driver. They move
and stop apparently to an inch, and
twist around sharp corners with a
recklessness, but withal a certainty
which is foreign to all ones previous
experiences of passenger vehicles. The
motorman has everything within
hands reach or foot reach. With his
hands he operates the controlling gear
for operating the switch beneath his
seat which admits the current; he also
steers with his hand. The braking is
done with his FOOT with which, also,
he rings the bell. There is an emer-
gency switch placed near his heel, by
which he can throw out the switch
and break the current when neces-
sary. In order that no tampering
with the vehicle can take place while
he is temporarily absent, he can re-
move the lever. After that the ma
chine is proof against the tricks of the
mischievous passer-by, who bankers
after free ride, and will not bulge
until again directed by the motorman's
hand. The charging of the batteries
has been brought down to fine point
Often cab will run in to repienish its
power, and be out of the station again
in minute and a quarter. Mean
while the fares" will remain irside
and watch the process with interest.
During the opera Or theateS hours they
/ are likely to be in full regalia, and the
variety and brilliance of the evening
dress Of these visitors give an odd
charm to the scene. The equipment
| for changing the batteries is most in
genious. AS the cab enters it runs on
to table which is split in two parts
and balanced below so that the parts
are free to move in either direction
| sideways. The cab is instantly raised
to the proper level, and a hydraulic
ram comes out, takes hold of the bat
teries and pulls them out of the way.
They are at once picked up by machin-
cry, carried down the length of the
battery room and deposited upon a
table ready for re-charging. In the
meantime one of a number of sets of
batteries which have been brought for
ward by an electric crane and depos-
tied in readiness on table, is placed
opposite the opening in the cab. The
ram makes a forward movement and
forces the batteries into the carriage
which backs off the table platform, and
rolls out on its errand. To all appear.
ances the batteries are handled as cas-.
lily as If they weighed a few ounces
instead of quarter of ton. The
number of electric vehicles engaged b,
the month or quarter by private indi.
viduals is increasing with astonishinf
rapidity, and the swell coachman is nj
longer looked upon as master of hi:
craft unless he can manage an cleo
trio carriage as skilfully as he cal

The Americanisin of Thomas Paine.


On the village green at Lexington,
where others saw seven slain Ameri-
cans, Paine saw an eighth corpse
that of the British constitution. He
now saw that the independence which
he knew must come at some time, was
in danger of coming under circulr..
stances which would enable monarchy
to renew its youth, and perhaps sub
stitute Cesar in place of q royal
figurehead. The heart of his pamphlet
Common Sense" is in its picture,
drawn with subtle imaginative art,
but simple and real, of an American
Republic. Here was no talk of Greece
and Rome, Of classic senates aud the
like, nor was there any scream Of the
demagogue, nor any nonsense about
the infallibility Of majorities. Ameri.
can independence is to mean the sn.
dependence of every man. The only
design of a right and normal govern.
ment is to secure to every human
being his freedom, his personal rights,
which include protection of his prop
erty, aud absolute liberty Of con
science in religion. -Moncure NJ. Con.

Peach Culture.

If we expect to be successful in cul-
tivating peaches we must give the
trees the very best attention that
modern experience has taught us, to
produce the most practical results.
There is q good deal of unsatisfactory
advice given to the farmers in one way
or another. / do not think that any
one would wilfully publish anything
for the purpose of misleading those
engaged in agriculture; but too many
give vent to half-formed ideas, or to
conclusions too hastily reached. 1t is
a common failing to draw sweeping
conclusions from few facts, and
therein is our greatest danger in ac-
cepting the advice of others. Never
theless, we cannot discard all advice,
but simply try to select from the chaff
the wheat that will be of value to us,
and then to use our common sense in
the matter.
There are many things about peach
culture that we are still uncertain
about. 1t is coniectural yet, ana eau
ton must be used in accepting the adj
vice of any one who attempts to settle
these important questions from few
facts. But, on the other hand, there
is so much known and repeatedly
proved, and yet not practised by those
who enter into the work, that a con.
slant repetition of the facts seems nee.
essary. 1t is hard to account for this,
except upon the theory that there is
o large class who are so conservative
that they will not accept anything un.
less it is covered with the moss Of
ages.
In caring for peach orchards, Guilt
walton, fertilization and pruning mus,
be considered. No peach orchard car
be made profitable without good cul
ture being given to it. Cultivation OF
the soil has an important bearing on
the time of maturing of the fruits. TIL,
maturity of the trees can be postponed
by giving a shallow cultivation. Early
maturity Of the peach trees means al
early death, and it does not pay. Ye
certain varieties hasten to their early
destruction in this way unless checked
Even after bearing the trees need cul
tivation. This should go on unit
August. Shallow blowing and pulver
izing with the harrow will always ben
eft the trees.
Soil fertilizers of some kind mus
be added every season. The trees ar
taking from the soil certain element
that must be supplied artificia!ly
Wood ashes stand first for this, br
some soils will do just as good if fer
tilted with stable manure. Lime an
potash are necessary for the peac
soil, and they should be supplied i
some form. An application of causti
potash solution to the trunks of til
trees should be made after the fru
has set, that is, from the first to til
middle Of June. Pruning and thil
ming in their season should be q
tended to also.-James 8. Wilson,
American Cultivator.
