ELECTRICITY VS.. STEAM.

Cornelius Vanderbilt is something more
than "a child of good fortune" CAPT
talist, and a money-getter. He is stu
dent of the mechanic arts. and has made
several Inventions Recently he has BEEN
studying the problem Of application Of
electricity rs a motire-power on trunk
lines. and his conclusions are given IN an
article he contributes TO the current num-
Der Of the North American Review. Mr.
Vanderbilt is satisfied of the feasibility
Of electric power as substitute for steam
on such lines. for both long and short
hauls He discusses the five points Of
comparison which he says a road would
have to consider in determining the ques-
ton of change Of motive-power. These
are: First the cost of a unit amount Of
fuel: second. the amount OF useful work
realized from this fuel at the driving
wheels: third. the cost Of operating or
handling trains: fourth. the cost Of re-
pairs to the machinery. and. fifth. the
cost Of repairs to the roadbed. To each Of
these he devotes considerable space, and
his deductions are that the comparisons
throughout arc favorable to the discard
ing of steam for electrical power. The
question is an important one. and any
experiment along the lines of E1r. Van
dcrbilt's suggestions would be watched
with great interest. not only by the big
railway companies. but by the general
public.

SYSTEMATIC ana Inxtruc,

The difference between fresh fruits aud
or desseated, is in the flavor. 1t is just
so in all human affairs. The difference
between honest, sincere, warm. hearty.
good manners and the same things in full
dress. elegant. graceful, fine. Impressive
and oppressive artistic and conventional
la models in the flavor. The first are
natural. refreshing, and delightful; the
second are artistic, without natural taste:
they soon satisfy and soon disgust. Their
highest merit IS that they suggest what
ness of child rovishes our soul: the
navete Of an old, played-out society wo-
man, in spite of her sparkles and bril-
liancy her bnns mots and repartees. soon
sgus!s an honorable nature. The with
cred, dry, and favorless soul imparts its
ti,telessness to manners and words.
We may make things exactly Ike natu-
raj growths; but we can't give them life
and glow and taste like the real ones.
1t is with religion and piety and charity
as It is with other things. The limitations
and the too much systematized ard resu-
lated are merely shop-goods machine
made turned out by tho wholesale and
made for the market They are cheap.
There IS very poor material in them, ana
very little work spent on them. And at
bcs:. they are put up jobs. And, indeed.
the more expensive article Of r!ety may
be more extensively put up in material
and Torkmanship-in natural talent as
vel! as college training, and for all that.
it may be work of the hand of the
craftsnsn-the outcome of the professor
ana the curficuluC1: exactly like p-ous
man: but with sens.bil.tiss 81 coated and
vanished and taught TICKS just
as the feet might be tat dancing
master.
The graces that make up the Christian
character have all been studied and pho
tos-e pied and written about in prose and
poetry. till they have all been made mors
or less wor..S of art. They have been
deI.neated and syste:natfzed and anato-
u1ized and auaiy1ed. so that the professor
of systematic theology can tell you all
about them, AMI teach you how 10 make
them; so that after little practice you
may pass muster. And yet there's no
flavor of life III the business.
Charity in its div:nest manifestation
can hardly be initiated. The excess OF
sensibility easily passes into gush and
becomes d.stasteful. But even when
charity takes the form OF alus-giving. the
systerlat;zing of it easily passes into
heartlcss and parsimonious duty: cheap
life insurance, or passes to Heaven.
Manhood in the highest form OF martyr
dom. or the sweetest. simplest grace that
honors humanity. must take its life from
a ;ife-;y:ving principle down in the soul.
And its growth is first the blade. then the
ear after that the full corr in the ea-;
or first the acorn. tten the young tree,
anG then the sovsr-spreading royal oak
The tree planted by the water side.
Charity that is rot Instructive is not the
best and highest.
