In all sorts and conditions of rural life.
The experiments have covered twenty.
nine States and fortyfour different

says: According to the varying con-

rural carriers perform their services on
horseback or riding In DuckbOards, bug
gies, two-wheeled carts, or on bicycles.
In some States they have to cross farms
and pull down bars and ride over fields
to deliver and collect their mails. In
10 instance has any serious complaint
been made of this invasion Of private
rights. On the contrary, the co-opera-
ton Of the communities served has in
every instance been cheerfully and ef-
fectlyely given. The farmers, at their
own cost, have put up boxes at the

places for the reception Of the mails. |

cry. On going to see them one day
I noticed man holding his finger in
the mouth of one Of the smaller ones.
placed my finger in the mouth Of an
other and found that the creature
seemed to derive pleasure from the ac-
ton of sucking. Immediately l sent
out for an ordinary infants nursing
bottle. The young elephant drained
the bottle as IL ito the manner born. :"
1t was passed from one to another Of
the infant class. Finally they fought
in the most indescribably comieal man
ner for possession of the bottle Then
fitted large glass jar, holding a
gallon, with rubber tubes, so that all
could use it at the same time. In
variably they would empty this bottle
before loosening their hold on the nip
pies. They had doubtless been taken
from their mother when too young, or
perhaps she had been killed at the
time when the young were captured.
So effectively did they appeal to public
interest and sentiment that by dint of
skillful advertising the celebrated
sucking baby elephants" made quite
a fortune in single season. They
would be led into the ring, where they
would take their nourishment like
human babies, their overgrown size

comical and absurd. The sight capti-

Railroads.

| RAILROADS..
At this season Of the year one Is
reminded of the annual contest waged
against growing vegetation to preserve
railway tracks in clean condition. Es-
pecially is this true of the dirt l.
lasted tracks in the western states,
where the expense entailed in keeping
vegetation down by grubblng with a
shovel is formidable figure, COM
pared with the expense of the same
work where tracks are ballasted with
4 good quality Of gravel. For many
years western roads have resorted to
numerous experiments for killing veg

successful of which has been the
scheme of subjecting it to scorching
heat produced by burning crude pc

Of an ordinary fiat car, on the front
mounted an upright thirty horsepow-
er boiler and a pair of engines. By
means of sprocket chain connection
between the engine shaft and car axle
the car is made self-propelling. After
some experience it was found neces-
sary to connect the second axle Of the
truck with the first, or that driven by
the engine, by means OF a sprocket
chain, in order to overcome slipping
due to the looping Of long weeds over
the rails. By this means of locomo-
ton speed of from ten to twelve
miles per hour is easily made. as
when running for stations to meet
passing trains. The water supply for
the boiler and for extingu.shing fires,
which may be- set accidentally, Is car
ried in a wooden tank in the center
OF the car. On top Of this tank there
are two air reservoirs, and inside of
the forward cab there are two air
pumps for creating the air pressure
necessary to spray the oil into the
burners. The burner rigging is sus-
pended from a rear platform, built
upon four Trails. The shield and
burners are hung from the outer eud
Of this platform upon bell cranks, and
an old reverse lever and Quadrant are
used to adjust the burners to the de-
sired height from the rail. The burn
crs are easily taken down when it is
desired to couple the car in with a
train. Tho oil tank for supplying oil

rear cab or just in rear OF the water
tank.

Notes From tho Paris Exposition.

'~The Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, CT l49 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditable exhibit
located in Group MIL, Glass 70, at the
Paris International Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the Gel
ebrated Singer Sewing Machine which
is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was
highly pleased with this display and
observed with much satisfaction that
it was favorahly commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the international Jury to Singer Sew
ing Machines for superior excellence
in design. construction, efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-
ton to every stitching process used
In either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action of
the International Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition. in Chicago,
where Singer Machines received fifty
four distinct awards, being more than
were received by all other kinds Of
sewing machines combined.
Should 1t be possible that any of
our readers ere unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine we would
respectfully advise that they call at
any Of the Singer salesrooms, which
can be found in all cities and most
towns in the United States"
