THE ROUTE OF THE RAPID TRAN
SIT ROAD IN NEW YORK.

Tho route followed begins with
loop around the Post Office, thence
with four tracks direct to the Grand
Central Station. westerly from there t,
Broadway, and along that thorough
fare to 104th street, distance Of seven
miles, whence one double-track line
continues along Broadway to Kings
o. -Age. and another double-track line
easterly under Harlem River, crossing
the Borough of Bronx to Bronx park
and the geological gardens; each of
these branches being seven miles long,
or total length, for the whole system,
OF twenty-one miles. The upper ends
Of the double-track lines are to be ele-

THE ORIENTAL AS A TRAVELLER.

Contrary TO the ordinary accepted
BELIEF, the Oriental is by nature a
traveller when he gets the opportunity,
and the extent to which he will travel
Is enormous. On the eco miles of gov
eminent lines in Japan for the year
1898. there were carried no fewer than
2S,O00,000 passengers, an average per
mile of $4,000 The average number of
passengers per mile of railway in the
United States is about 1900. Taking
moro striking comparison, the whole
Japanese system, government and
private, in 1898 aggregating 2,246
miles, carried S4,040,963 passengers,
while the New York Central in the
same year with 1896 miles,-or almost
exactly the same length-carried ga
074,254 passengers, giving relative
density in favor OF the Japanese of
more than three to one; and this in
spite of the fact that the New York
Central had the benefit of including
among its passengers all the traffic
received from western, New England,
and other connecting lines. WIN.

DECORATIONS AND FURNISHINGS

Even slender purses can afford the
luxury of a few flowers for the table in

shorld be without them. They are SO
restful, so gratefully inspiriting when
one is tagged, hot or tired by general
weather conditions. A Towering plant
may be substituted for cut flowers ac-
ceptably, but whether a plant or
flowers be used, only those without
heavy odors should be chosen. 1t is

WHAT LAUNDRESSGS FAIL TO
COMPREHEND.

Soft water for washing is preferable
10 hard, for various reasons. In the
first place, because 1t uses less soap
more soap being required to make II
lather with hard water than with soft.
In the second place, because hard
water contains a deposit OF lime,
which is not good for clothes, tending
to rot the fbers. One coon learns TO
know the difference in feeling between
hard and soft water. There Is no sub
stance so hard that 1t cannot be dis
solved sooner of later with water.
Water dlssolves the dirt, and water
without soap will do this. We use
soap, however, to soften the grea G
which holds the particles of dirt,
which loosen as the grease is softened.
II, therefore, the water which you are
compelled to use is hard, use borax 10
soften it.-Emma Louise Hauck Rowe

PARIS EXPOSITION WILL NOT
EQUAL WHITE CITY.

As a whole, the Paris exposition
could not be planned so as to present
such a splendid coup-d' oeil as did the
court of honor at Chicago. Our I'M
limited space, with the opportunity OF
spreading in all directions. As Paris
wished to have her Exposition within
her own walls, she was obliged to take
the largest open spaces which the city
afforded and to connect them as best
she could. The broad waterways Of
the white city" suggested the posi-
bility of using the banks of the Seine
far more than they have ever been
used before. The quays have been
widened and in places raised to the
level of the avenues which border
them; hence the river may be called
the main thoroughfare of the exposi-
ton. Otherwise the space is the same
as that, occupied by the exposition in
1889, with the added area embrac ed
between the old Palais de rIndustrie,
now removed, and the Place de IA
Concorde. On this piece of land the
two great art palaces and the nonu-
mental entrances have been erected
facing the very center of the city

HOME INSTRUCTION IN NATURAL
HISTORY.

The mother who is able to instruct
her child wisely must know something
of the meaning and motive of different
phases. of plant and outdoor life, so as
to be able to talk animatedly and
lovingly upon the curious ways Of
Natures children. 1t k especially the
business of parents to instruct their
children in natural history sDr, it
ought to be studied out of doors and at
such times as they are voluntarily
interested. Making collections of
plants, stones and shells is the delight
of every child, and his happiness would
be increased If he could secure from
his grown-up friends sympathy with
his pursuits, and enlist them often in
conversation about his treasures. In
the quiet twilight may come many
charming talks about the stars and
moon, the different forms water takes
on, and the effect of heat and light.
There is a mistaken idea abroad that
little children should not be allowed to

in playful humor, made sudden
dash at child hat that was full
of grass and flowers, that settled
it. This cruel driver bound his
head tight and fast, arranged
screws and saws .in his sensitive
mouth. until at every step of haul
ing the heavy summer garbage, cut
through the tongue and made the
blood drop. Never to my dying
day shall forget the agony in his
eyes as be passed along the hot
streets. 1vainiy implored the re-
straining officer of the President Of
the S. p. c. A. No help there, as
he could not do anything outside OF

the Society was and the Agent said
the colored driver had FIVE children

to the high Heavens, no help above

street and hardly knowing what
did, mounted thu steps to Judge

appearance Of two of the officers
and presto, help had come. in
slant help. The bit was taken
from the bloody mouth. The tongue
was cut half through, a little longer
and it would have fallen from his
mouth, but the Humane Society
never did anything either to the
President or the Agent. Every
