Neither Saved Nor Earned.

Railroad people Lave an arrange
ment by which they can register the
speed Of q train. 1t looks like a steam
gauge and is connected with the axle,
80 that the pointer registers the num-
Der or revolutions every minute. There
arc SO many revolutions to the mile,
and by an ingenious arrangement the
number of miles an hour Is shown up
on the dial. Tie apparatus is eXpen-
sive as well as delicate.
The late Jay Gould was one Of the
first to adopt it, and shortly after q
register was placed in lis private car
Russell Sage was making journey
with him and inquired what it was.
Mr. Gould explained the mechanism
ard the usefulness Of the machine
with great care. Mr. Sage was silent

the sashes as safely supported and as

The RoEd to Success,

There is a mistaken notion that sue
cess in life Is achieved only by hard ef-
fort. An education" is not necessary
to become successful In life, beyond
thorough familiarity with the rudi.
ments. An education comes to an in
duStrious man rs naturally as age.
Ability to deliver oratlons Is not neces-
sary. Industry and honesty. which are
easier than iileness and dishonesty. will
achieve success for any man Of ordi-
nary ability. Success Is easier than
failure. Success seldom comes at once;

These statistics show an increase of

Ito fact that the grain movement
this January was less by eighteen

of last year, and The further fact that
the cotton carried this year was less
by more than 100000 bales than
that carried last year.
