NEW LOCOMOTIVE.

Electric Engine Expected to Run 100
Miles an Hour.
The development of electrotechnics,
particularly that part dealing with the
application of electricity as motive
power for railroad trains, has made re-
markable progress in Germany recent
ly. In April a series of tests with cleo
trical locomotives was begun on the
branch line between GeSundbrunnen
and LagerhOf, Prussia, which have
proved so successful that they promise
a complete revolution in the tranSpOr-
tation system of Germany and of the
world in general. That line was cho-
sen because it offered the greatest num-
Der of difficulties in the form of curves,
crossings, and steep grades. An alter
mating current Of 10000 volts is sup
piled by overhead wires and is reduced
To one-twelfth of its tension by the
commutatof placed upon the lOcOmo-
tive. Water power is used to generate
the required electricity. The greatest

EFect of the Woo1 Tariff.


1t has reached the ears of the West
ern wool-growers that their high tariff
on wool is driving wool manufacturers
to use shoddy and cotton to an extent
probably never before exceeded, and
the National Live Stock Association, in
session at Salt Lake City, accordingly
demands of Congress legislation to pre-
vent the marketing of such mixtures
as wooden goods. How that would inn
prove the situation is not explained.
The people who are buying the mixed
goods are doing so simply because they
cannot afford to buy the all-wool fab
ric which high tariff taxes have put
beyond their reach. This is the whole
story, and the Western ranchmen will
learn it in time.-Springfeld (Mass)
Republican.

Polite serviIity in England.

The American finds the agreeable DO
likeness of the English serving class in
general very pleasant. One who is ac-
custOmed to the manners of American
saleSgirls and mattresses must be
struck by the almost universal use of
the words Thank you" by English
girls engaged in these occupations, says
the New York Home Journal. An or
der in a restaurant or shop is invari-
ably received with a pleasant Thank
yOu," uttered with such an agreeable
intonation that one is inclined to evoke
a repetition by another purchase or or
der. The girls in American stores, who
apparently find industrial life so hard,
and who carry with them a wearied air
of comforting an undeServed favor
when they wait on a customer, might
find the wheels of life to run much
easier if they would but use a little of
the English oil Ofs pOliteness. They
would not really lose any of their ''in-
dependence" in the process; for pleas
ant manners usually receive their rec
ompense in reciprocity. and in a higher
regard for the person who is dignitied

Gravedinoer Lost His Lnh.

"When l was a boy" said the vet
eran, as he pulled on his strong cigar
after dinner, Il remember there was
an awful scandal in our tOwn-a little
country place-because a temporary
gravedigger, who had been hired TO do
the work when the regular hand was
i'll, buried a man with his feet to the
west Ours was a religious, as well as
a superstitiOus, town. Among the older
people there was a well-grounded be-
lief that person must be inferred with
his feet to the east, so that when Ga
briefs trumpet should sound for the
final awakening the dead should be
able to face the angel on arising. This
new gravedigger couldn't have known
the tradition, or he would not have
flown in the face of superstition and
buried his victim with his feet to the
west. The thing made such a scandal
that they actually disinterred the body
and turned the coffin around so that
the dead man should rest in the right
position. OF course, the new gravedig-
ger lost his job l don't know that |
have thought of the incident for a long
time, until l had to go to WOodlawn
cemetery a short time ago to attend
the burial of a friend. Then, for the
first time, it dawned on me that there
had been a change in the superstition,
and that it had probably been wholly
lost to sight, as have so many of the old
ones. [ noticed that the direction in
which bodies are buried now seems to
be settled by the direction of the path
in front of the plat you own; that is,
that interments are made with the feet
pointing toward the path, no matter in
what compass direction they may
point New York Times.

Candy hx the Yard.

Last season stands were maintained

Of "old-fashiOned steam candy by the
yard" At some of the places the sweet
mixture was sold of the hook direct
from the hands Of the candy-puller,
but in most instances the candy was
in long strips about twelve inches
wide, and from these strips a yard or
half yard would be cut off. At one
mountain resort the candy man did
what he called large export business,
and sent yards of his candy product in

the country. and it was largely through
his enterprise that "cardy by the yard"

That our private soldiers cannot long

there, and a limitation of Philippine

Pursue a Wild Man.

Hayton has been thrown into state
of excitement over the appearance of a
creature, evidently a man, but SO utterly
unkempt and fierce in aspect as to battle
description. Devoid of clothing, but COW
cred with a thick, matted growth of hair,
he presented an appearance that, al
though decidedly grOtesque, sent thrill
of horror through the spectators. The
creature walked at rapid pace toward
the ManitOwoc river. When he reached
the stream he waded through the water,
which was above his neck and icy cold.
Pursuit was unsuccessfully tried. The
older residents think the creature is a
man named Kustwind and tell story of
how fifteen years ago this winter a Ger
man emigrant but lately arrived was Sc
verely injured. Kustwind, who thought
he had killed the fellow, in his despair
and fright fed to the woods.
