A Now nm ergency Eralse. .

A new emergency brake for electric
cars is described in a recent issue of
the London Electrical Review. 1t con-
sists Of four shoes, OF oak or beech,
two being placed between the wheels
just over the rails on each side Of the
car. A small cOmpressed-air cylinder
is maintained by pump run from
one of the car aXles. When it is nee
essary to apply the brake suddenly the
motorman simply touches a lever; in
stantly all four Of the brake shoes are
jammed strongly down against the
rails. 1t is claimed that this brake
has stopped a trolley car going at the
rate Of twenty miles an hour down a
steep grade, within two Of its own
lengths.

CARDS DATE FROM 1902.

Invented In Trance to Amuse a Mslan-
choly King.
Without inquiring whether any
games with cards, which resemble
those of our times, were in use among
the Greeks and Romans, Father Menes-
trier, in his "Bibliotheque Curieuse," !"
confning himself to France, says that
it is only about 400 years since games
of cards were first known.
This he demonstrates by a negative
argument, drawn from an ordinance Of
Charles vi in 1891, against the use Of
all such games as did not assist the
military science; and in which though
the forbidden games are enumerated
there is no mention of cards.
The following year, however, is that
to which he gives their origin, as the
occasion Of their being invented. It
was in 1892, wnen Charles vi became
disordered in his mind the whole court
was employed in contriving every pos
sible method of diverung his melan-
choly.
The four suits are supposed to repre-
sent the two branches of the state
the church and the army, the city and
the country.
The hearts, or caeurs, and which
should be choir men, for the church,
the Spaniards represent by copes, or
chalices, instead of hearts.
Spades, In French piques, signify
pixies. In Spanish swords are called
spada, denoting the military order.
Diamonds, carreaux, or squares, on
Spanish cards dineras or coins; are
expressive of the monied or mercan-
tile men Of the city, Clubs, trefoil in
French, in Spanish casta, club or
rustic weapon, for the peasantry of the
country.

Cbioav Nv Advertising.

A London journalist tells the busi-
ness men Of that community that the
surprising success of Americans in
placing their products among the Eng
lish people is chiefly due to the skill
and courage with which the Americans
advertise. "They prove" he says,
"the tremendous influence of advertis-
ing in its effect ON the success Of an
Industrial nation" The article is a
striking tribute to the Importance Of
publicity to business. - Philadelphia

Unique Presents for King Edward.

The coronation presents to be sent
to King Edward by the sultan of
Morocco are of a unique character.
Many Of them are faithful copies by
Moorish artists of the most exquisite
works OF art in the Moorish museum
Among the presents are included specl-
mems of the Moorish craftsmanship OF
thousand years ago, which have
never been reproduced or out of the
imperial possession.

A LITTLE SERMON.
cHILpREN's MANNERS.


There is one pat Of education that
does nos always receive its Dire atten-
ton in our public schools; That is she
manners of the children. They pull.
push and scratch; they speak 70 each
other and even to the teachers, without
respect 1t is in the school that respect
for the rights of others should be Install
ed. Ifthis principle generally obtained,
without difficulty or unpleasantness.
II is a difficult thing for teacher
with from forty to sixty pupils, and
sometimes even more than this, under
her charge, to maintain any semblance
of order The children are from homes
with greatly differing home training. 1t
is only good executive ability that can
prevent turbulence. Still something
can be done. The example of the
teacher will go far If she is invariably
polite, it will have it's influence. The
teacher who can say Mind your own
business, "Shut up and similar re-
marks in rough manner must expect
to hear her pupils fling similar speeches
and worse at each other Scolding and
railing or calling one stupid" or idiot"
i undignified and is cause of disrespect
Ia children. One can be firm and at the
same time controlled.
One common fault of yonng people
and older people are not free from it's
that of not listening with attention
when another is speaking, or interrupt
ing with reply before one has made his
meaning clear When we, ourselves
speak it is because we have something
to say and wish Others to hear it. Let
us give the attention to others which
we wish shown to u.s. A training in
this matter of children both at home
and at school would do much towards
reducing ths confusion that usually en-
sues W ;erever children get together.
1t is not children alone who need the
training 1t will have the tendency to
make one more careful of what one says,
if one is sure of receiving attention
when talking Milwaukee Journal.

He declared that the Burlington was not
a competitor of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. He said the two north
ern roads had made frequent agreements
to maintain rates. but said he knew of no
penalty ever having been imposed for
violation of agreements.
Stubbs Is Questioned.
J. c. Stubs, traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific,
followed Mr.. Miller. Mr.. Stubs stated
that E. H. Hartman was chairman of
the board Of directors of both roads, but
that he was appealed to only in extraord-
mary cases. Mr. Stubbs' said no such case
had arisen since his appointment and that
he had proceeded under his general in
structions from Mr.. Hartman. He said
rates generally had been fairly well main
tanned but that there had been demoraliza-
ton in Colorado and Utah. He declared
that the Southern Pacific and Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe were competitors.
us there no agreement between you
and the Atchison road as to division Of
the oil and sugar traff1c?" asked Mr.. Day.
'None whatever" replied witness.
'"There is division of the orange traffic.
but this is due to the fact that about fifty
per cent of the crop is tributary to each
line
The witness averred that the Union Pa
cific and the Southern Pacific were COM
peitors, although he admitted that he be-
lieved the Union Pacific controlled the
Southern Pacific. He declared that this
control could have no effect on rates ow-
ing to the existence of competition.
"a look at the map will show you what
this competition is Mr.. Stubs observed
parenthetically.
Further questioning by Commissioner
Prouty and Clements merely served to
strengthen Mr.. Stubs in his assertion
| that the joint ownershipso f his roads had
made absolutely no difference in the
maintenance or reduction Of rates.
The commission took a recess until
p. m.
]. J. Hill took the stand at 2 o'clock
Much time was consumed with routine
examinations to show his official relations
| with the Great Northern, Northern Pa
cif1c and Burlington companies.
