Notwithstanding the rush to the

BY writer's who habitually address US
n the upward and onward" tone OF
voice, the number Of farms is four
times greater than Il was 5 years ago.
There Is still a magnificent reserve OF
the bone and sinew Of the nation to
fall back upon, and not everybody has
come up from the country to drive
delivery wagons and run the street
cars. The charms Of country life are
not entirely lost on the country peo-
ole, and the majority of them have
sense enough to stay at home instead
of seeking Excitement" and g gay
life in a cheap fat or a tenement. The
most Of them know on which side their
bread is buttered and stay where they
can have the bread and butter, rather
than fly to the wild whirl of pleasure
that is included in proximity to a beer
saloon and a summer garden, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. One might

torial that the children Of the present

because the mother is not at home to

NEW cAR-LIGHTINe SYSTEM.
Device Tested on New York Central
for Generating Electricity
from Car Axles.

Representatives from many rail-
roads have witnessed a successful
demonstration of a device for light
ing railroad cars with electricity. The
invention was tested on a run over
the New York Central to Croton and
7eturn, and the system win shortly
be adopted.
The light is generated by a dy-
namo operated by a belt connected
with the axle of the car. When the
train stops the lights are supplied
from storage batteries in the car. A
speed of only u miles an hour is
needed to generate sufficient cleo
tricity to light the lamps. The sur
plus obtained at a higher rate of
sped is used to reeharge the bat
teries.
The car used in the test was
equipped with % lamps Of 16-candle
power each. During the trip 46 stops
were made and no appreciable differ
ence was noticed in the %brilliancy of
the lights.

Brooklyn sunday school Is Turned
Into = Memorial Service for Child,
Who Gets a WhistiinG Hal
Toe In Her Throat.

A remarkable scene was enacted IN
the Sunday school Of the Ainslee Street
Presbyterian church, in the Williams
burg section Of Brooklyn. A short
time before Emma Rausch, nine years
old, left home for Sunday school. On
the way she bought a penny whistling
balloon. This she took into her class,
and while initiating It for the M
ment Of her mates, the wooden mouth
piece slipped into her throat. She
gasped, and pain and fear showed in
her eyes. The children became
alarmed, and their EXPLANATIONS Of
fright attracted the attention Of
Charles Follert, superintendent of the
Sunday school. He ealled.to a trustee
Of the church and they worked to extri-
cate the toy from the throat Of the
fast choking child. Not until she be
anne unconscious was II believed that
her condition was critical. Physicians
were hastily summoned, but could not
extract the toy. When they announced
that death was near, Rev. r. S. Dawson
raised his hand and asked that all kneel
and pray. Then he prayed aloud and
~fervently for the soul that was passing
before their eyes.
The child's parents, who had been
sent for, entered as the clergyman was
about to begin his prayer. The mean
ing wal clear to them. and they knelt
sobbing beside their child. And
on the wings of the prayer Of
their playmates and friends the child''
soul was borne away to its Maker,

PLANS NEW BATTLEsHIPs.
The German Naval Authorities Take
the United States Vessels
for Models.

The German navy's new design
for battleships is generally similar
to that of the Alabama, of the United
States navy. 1t abandons turrets for
small guns. The vessels viii be about
24,5OO tons, or 1900 tons heavier than
the battleships of the M group now
building. The details Of their arma-
ment are not disclosed, except that
the main batteries viii consist Of
four 12-inch guns and that they will
mount numerous 7.48-inch guns.
The first of this type Of warship,
which is called the "N' group, will
be laid down as DON as the naval
budget is passed, probably in April.
The budget authorizes the construc-
ton Of two battleships, n of which
win be the fifth of the M" group,
consisting Of even ships.
