another of so. 0O0-pound capacity cars,
and finally one of pressed steel cars
of 100, 600 pounds capacity. The
tests showed that the train of steel
cars carried from II to 20 per cent
larger paying tonnage, used less
water. from IA to So per cent less
coal, and made the trip in better time
by &c minutes than its closest COM
petitor. So far as the cost of repairs
is concerned, that pressed steel cars
are less expensive than wooden ones
is conclusively shown by the actual
experience of railroads using steel
cars.
One railroad reports that the total
cost of repairs on 1000 steel-hopper
cars during 10 months service
amounted to $1.17599. OF this
amount $1.0I9 SO was spent for re-
pairs from accidents, and an expendi-
ture of only $157 60 was due to ordi-
nary repairs.
In the cases where cars were dam
aged by accident, wooden cars would
have been entirely destroyed.

A CURIOUS damage suit was filed
the other day in Kansas court. The
plaintiff. who lives in lola, is wo-
man. She alleges that she ran a sew
ing machine needle into the thumb of
her right hand, and that she went to
a doctor of the town for relief. The
doctor gave her chloroform, and,
when she ''came to-" informed her
that he had cut the needle out. She
went away satisfied, but for several
weeks her thumb remained sore, and
at last she went to another surgeon,
who found that the needle had not
been removed at all. And for this
deceit on the part of the first doctor
the young woman asks $500 damages.

The April nun Der of Success" con-
tains Gov. Benjamin B. Odell,
Jr. 8, first magazine article. That
rising young statesman, who deliv-
cred ice from his fathers wagons for
a mum Der of years in Newberg, New
York, and who has now attained a
rather formidable position in Amer
lean politics, chooses for his debut in
the Demands of Good Citizenship. -
This is a we'll sustained argument in
favor of active participation in cur
rent political movements by all young
men, without regard to social status
or business cares. The governor
argues that it is as much the duty of
young man to enter politics, in the
sense of participating, as to go into
business; but that he should not seek
political office until he has won sue
cess in business. Senator Deliver of
Iowa, Bishops Potter and Vincent.
and a host of other distinguished
writer's, assist in making this Easter
mum Der of Success" notabl one.
The New Conklin's Handy Manual
and Atlas of the World, Just issued by
Laird & Lee, of Chicago, is not only q
revised edition of work whose sue
cess has been phenomenal-over two
million copies sold in II years-but,
to all purposes an absolutely new
book, over $50 pages having been al
tered and a number of them replaced
by entirely new ones. The presiden-
tial elections of 1900 and the census
of the same year, Gas far as its results
have been made public) are given in
full, with classifications and compari-
sons peculiar TO this work. Our
young people will find here the rules
of admission to West Point, Annapolis,
and the vast civil service of the United
States, also the conditions for enlist
ment in the regular army. Latest po-
tical events, recent discoveries, sta
tistics and descriptions of Porto Rico,
Hawaii, the Philippineislands ETC., are
given with detailed accuracy. The
notices of each of the 45 states of the
union, with colored maps, have been
revised to meet present conditions
Athletic and racing records have been
brought up to date, and many para
graphs added of most interesting
fresh matter. We promise to the
new Conklin as great and as wide
success as it enjoyed in its earlier
form.

one of the plague spots of England
George Cadbury, the famous cocos
man. has undertaken to redeem Biz,
mingham and make it model home
for workingmen.
He has given $50 acres of land,
situated not far from the city. He
mas placed the land into the hands Of
a board of trustees who are to erect
cottages for working people. About
$40 cottages have already been built
and 143 have been sold to working
men at cost price. Others occupy
them at nominal rent, just enough tc
meet actual running expenses. The
workingmen are urged to buy these
little homes. paying whatever they
can afford weekly, the interest on the
balance being placed as low as p pei
cent.
The profits in the sale of the cot
tages and the rentals are devoted to
the development of the estate and the
building of more cottages.
