A curly haired small boy sat in n
Fourteenth street car just at the time
of the day when the cars are most
crowded on Thursday afternoon. A
worn looking woman, evidently his
mother. sat beside him. At Fifteenth
street particularly buxom woman of
middle age crowded into the car. There
was no seat for her, and she stood glar-
Ing ut the boy. Later her displeasure
vented itself In words, and she express
ed herself freely to the woman who
stood next her about women who let
their children occupy seats while ladies
are standing. The worn looking WON
an flushed, but made no move to have
the boy surrender his seat. The buxom
woman still glared and still expressed
herself with extreme frankness. The
boy sat still. At N street the mother
rang the bell. AS the car stopped she
put her arms around the boy and lifted
him to his feet, half carrying him to
the door.

DEAR MOTHER -
received your letter OF the goth OF
May last night, also yours of April 81
about two weeks ago. | have heard peo-
pie tell of the hardships of the civil war,
but dor't think they can compare with
what we have been through in the last few
weeks.
1t will do no good to tell just how and
what we have suffered, especially during
the first days out. / will relate just one
instance. We broke camp at FIVE in the
morning and marched steadily until little
after noon. We stopped then for two
hours, that is, what there was left of us.
There were nine companies In our regiment,
each with over 80 men when we started /;
five stacked arms with only 81 men the
rest were obliged to fall out on the way be-
cause OF the heat. | expected my turn
would come to fall out, but my old foot
ball pluck stayed with me and | stacked
my gun at the head of the line at night.
We marched In sklrmlsh line over three
miles looking for the enemy. We had no
water to drink and the ground was covered
with thick grass partially blown down,
making the walking very difficult. We
had big battle and lost IA men out of our
regiment and 20 wounded. We were un-
der fire for four hours. We had to lay in
the hot sun for two hours and then swim q
river with our guns in boat; soon after
the sun set and then we were cold and
wet.
Before morning it was raining like q
cloud burst. / went to sleep on bamboo
root with my head in puddle of water !;
when woke up the camp was afoat. 1t
has rsined steadily for the last 4S hours
and the RICE fields are all aAoat.

AN ELECTRIC FARM.
8. Il. Beardslce, of st. Johnsville, Sots
Lightning to Work.

8. II. Beartslce, of st. townsville, Sots
Lightning to Work.
Near st. townsville, New York, is q
farm of $50 acres belonging to g. Il.
Beardslee.
On this place is complete electric
plant, which produces the current for
lighting and heating, ns well as sup
plying the power for other operations
connected with the farm, according to
the New York World.
This electric installation is the first of
It's kind ever used for doing the work
Of farm hands.
All the mechanical energy is supplied
by nature, and the cost and mainte-
nance OF the plant is inexpensive. II
has demonstrated that electricity used
for manual labor is success.
The farm land is situated on both
sides of the East Canadian creek,
which Is Il good-sized stream contain
ing two falls within the bounds of the
Beardslee property. These waterfalls,
one of which is sixty feet and the other
1S0 feet high. furnish the power.
The farmhouse is brilliantly lighted
and well heated by electricity. The
kitchen is supplied with an electrically
heated cooking stove and in the laun-
dry the natlrons are heated by the
same power. In the dairy the churns
and other appliances all have electric
current attachments. The grounds are
lighted by several arc lights, and their
use in the barns greatly facilitates the
work and lessons the danger OF fire.
The owner of the farm employed the
Westinghouse company to put the
scheme into operation.
The smaller fall was used MS the
operating power. and near 1t was built
a power house. In which was placed
1SO-kilowatt Westinghouse generator,
connected with horizontal turbine
operated by the water. fr'
From this central power house the
current is transmitted by wires to the
dwelling house and other buildings.

ing machine and third works forty
