TRAFFIC AND TRACTION.

j. T. Tatlow, John Wharton, George
Banks, F. I. Dale and II. O'Brien, Off
Gals of the Lancashire and Yorkshire
railway of England, are in this coun-
try and will make extended inspection
of American railroads.
A locomotive with 5000 square feet
of heating surface, when working at
maximum power will eyaporate about
$4,000 pounds of water an hour, which
represents a coal consumption of
about 10000 pounds, or more than five
TONS
The Ottoman Baghdad Railway COM
pany has ben organized with capital
of 100000 to build a railway from
Konia, the present terminus of the
German railway in Turkey, to Bagh-
dad and Bassora. The concession for
the railway was obtained by Germany,
but according to an announcement
made April 18th, it is to be jointly con-
trolled by that country, England and
France.
Passengers through the tunnel to be
constructed under the East river, be-
tween New York and Brooklyn, viii
enjoy one of the greatest coasts" in
the world. Although the cars which
are run through the tunnel will be
started by electricity, the most of the
trip will be made by gravity. The
speed attained at the bottom of the
grade-a mile a minute is expected
will carry the car far up the slope on
the other side. The coasters will not
have to drag the double-runner back.
In a certain office at an Australian
railway station there may have been
seen very long list of names of
women who have at various times
begged the booking clerks to let them
have, without payment, tickets to va
rious places. They have forgotten their
purses, or lost them, OF spent their last
penny on new pair of gloves. and
various reasons They will call the
very next day and refund the money
without fail. But there the names and
addresses lie, with the amount of the
borrowed money written opposite.

AMONG THE CUBANS.

The highest ambition of a Cuban. ap-
parently, is to wear uniform Men
in uniform are proud of it. and they al
ways try to look neat and pretty. IT
is said that the fire department, or
bomberos, is the most sought after SER
vice in the island.
When one buys a cigar in Havana
box of wax vestas is given to him. 1t is
a snare and a fraud The box is the
size of the usual vesta box, but it has
a false bottom two-thirds of the way
from its real bottom, and it only holds
third of the number of matches one
usually finds in SUCH box.
The presiding officers of the Cuban
deliberative bodies use bell instead
of gavel to preserve order. President
Portuondo, of the lower house. has
two bells-one a silver tea bell. which
he rings by waving it in the air; the
other a bicycle bell mounted on two
uprights. which he rings by whirling
it around
A Cuban room less than 40 feet
square is mean affair. A Cuban who
once lived in New York now occupies
a house in which the dining room. one
of the 20 mammoth rooms, is twice as
large as his whole apartment on West
Sixty-fourth street was. He confesses
that sometimes he feels like screening
off corner ten feet square, and recall
ing in it the days when he was in the
Estates"
A luckless American who needed a
trunk strap produced the impression
on the Havana merchants of needing
some shoe laces the other day. and in
all the shops where he sought trunk
straps enthusiastic clerks worked
themselves hot trying to find pair of
shoe laces which would suit the senior.
! Finally the American went to harness
| shop and there found what he wanted.
But the English-speaking clerk in this
! shop would not wait on him, because
another clerk was learning English
and wanted the practice.

Worth While.

It's worth the going off to town
And staying there all day
To see you just come flying down
The pleasant homeward way;
To see your curis float in the breeze
And hear your laughter glad,
And feel the glad ecstatic squeeze
You give homecoming dad.
To know that 'gainst a window pane
A childish face is pressed;
To know blue eyes watch down the lane
As sun goes down the west;
Aye, all the weary toilsome day
Is worth while for the glad
Wee ieet that patter down the way
A-hurry TO meet dad.

WHAT WOMEN SAY AND DO.

Mrs. Emma Stuckman, of Napanee.
Ind. has taught school for SO years,
having begun teaching when she was
but IA. and expects to enter upon
another term next September.
Queen Alexandra does not think
women should smoke cigarettes and
occasionally she expresses her opinion
on the subject. Some ladies of the
court were discussing cigarettes re-
Gently, when her ma iesty said: II have
noticed that men who smoke generally
say they would leave off if they were
not slaves to the habit. It seems to me
extra ordinary that women, who are
continually adopting new fashions.
should deliberately become slaves Of
one that seemingly cannot be laid
aside"
1t is pointed out that Miss Marie
Corelli. Miss Ellen Terry and Lady
Colin Campbell have waited in vain for
masculine assistance in their effort to
keep the little ancient houses in STRAIT

posed Carnegie library, standing.
These ladies have written to the En-

The new Lady Yarmouth, n ow on her

stranger a couple of months ago. The
former Miss Thaw, born in Pittsburg.

JOY in Work.

In her workshop Nature stands,
Busy with her artist hands,
Shaping tor her own delight
Things that raVish sense and sight.
Forth they go, her children all;
And their happy looks recall,
AS they deck the tasteful earth,
How love and joy were at their birth.
We must stamp that trademark, too,
On each bit of work we do;
And love of all We can create
Supplant the drudgery of hate.
Use in beauty, joy in work,
Pride that will not stoop to shirk,
Conscience that Sustains the pride
These let US scatter far and wide.
Till at last in fellowship
We forget the masters whip,
And join with ant and bird and corn
In hailing every work day morn.

Don't Forget.

In the petty cares and trials
That perplex US day by day;
mid the tolls and self-denials
We encounter in our way;
When we feel our patience failing,
And our courage almost gone
Two things still We'll find availing-
Keeping sweet and holding on.
Though we look through tears Of sorrow
Back DER yesterdays of pain,
Farther on there waits morrow,
When the sun will shine again,
And beneath its smile of favor
We may think of victories won
Humbly trusting in our Saviour
Keeping sweet and holding on.

Who's finishing it up for them all tidy and
all trim.

Or toll with blither cheer until the day

ROOT SUPPORTS GENERAL WOOD.
Cites Reasons Why That Officer
Should Re Promoted.

Washington. Dec. 21.-The letter Of
Secretary Root to Senator Proctor, act
ing chairman of the committee on for
eign affairs, dated Nov. IS, last, CIV
ing a resume of the military record Of
General Leonard Wood and stating
the chief considerations which led to
his nomination as a major general,
was made public Sunday. After quot
ing from remarks commenlatory to
General Wood made by Generals
Miles, Lawton, Graham and Forsythe,
the latter recites that upon these and
similar evidences of fitness, President
Mckinley appointed General Wood
colonel Of the First volunteer cavalry
IN May, 1898" The secretary also
quotes from the concentrations of
Generals Young, Wheeler, Sumner and
Shafter on General Woods conduct in
the Santiago campaign and says Cen
eral Woods appointment as comman-
der Of the Santiago province appears
to have been based upon a statement
made by General Shafter in a dispatch
to the department in which he said
he had thought General Wood "by far
the best man to leave in command OF
Santiago"
The secretary then reviews General
Woods subsequent military career,
states the conditions governing pro-
motions and concludes with the state
ment that General Woods nomination
Is in the regular order Of seniority.

Japanese Officers in China Start for
Home.
ID Picking. Dec. 21.-While no news has
been received at the Japanese legation
that Japan has sent an utimatum to
Russia. it is recognized at the lega-
ton that a grave crisis is approach
ing. Major General Yamani, the
Japanese military attache, and the
Japanese colonel who has been in
structing General Yuan Shat Kai's
troops, have both started for Japan.
The native press recently reiterated
a circumstantial story to the effect
that in the event of Manchuria being
retained by Russia it was the inten-
ton of Great Britain to establish a
protectorate " the Yang Use val
ley as compensation and to appoint a
viceroy therein, so that her prestige
in the far East would be equal to Rus.
sia's- Some of the native papers give
Wal VT Pu, or Chinese foreign board,
as authority for the story. This fic-
ton is largely credited and gravely
discussed and is creating hostility
against Great Britain. It is suspected
that the story has been fostered by un-
friendly agencies appointed for the
purpose and the British legation is
investigating its origin.

FUNERALS POSTPONED.
Livery Drivers Strike CompeIs the
Kourners to Hide Bereavement.

Chicago. Dec. 21.-Shrinking from
the espionage of union pickets and
fearful that funeral rarties would be
attacke' b. tho striking livery driv-
ers. manv Chicaeo families have re
Trained from publicly announcing
their bereavement. In the vaults OF
several undertakers lie the bodies of
persons about whose death the utmost
secrecy is maintained and whose fun
erals will be postponed until after the
settlement OF the strike. In other
cases the stricken relatives have ar
ranged for evening funerals and pri-
vate burials, of which no announce
ment is made.
The d~isgraceful scenes that attend
ed several funerals held on Saturday,
when union pickets attempted to inter-
fere with the removal of bodies. have
led to health department officials to
sanction the secrecy that is being
preserved. The undertakers have
been informed that unless public
safety demands it, burials will not be
insisted on until such a time as fu-
neral parties shall be safe from moles-
tation.
Practically no attempt was made
by funeral parties Sunday to reach the
cemeteries and the day was free from
disturbances.

MoToRMAN DROPS DEAD.
Terrible Catastrophe Narrowly Avert
ed at Des Mcines.

Des Moines. Ia Dec. 21.-When car
15o. loaded with passengers. arrived
at the Central station of the Des
Moines street railway last night, it
was found that it had been guided by
Providence. as Motornan Gladstone
lay stone dead On the front platform,
where he had fallen as the result, of
a stroke of apopleXy.
His last act was to turn off the cur
rent two blocks from the station and
the momentum carried the car the re-
naming distance. His car had but a
moment before descended the longest
and steepest hill in the city, at the
base of which is a sharp curve. Had
he been stricken during the descent a
terrible catastrophe would have re-
suited. His wife was at the station
with his lunch when the car arrived
and tainted upon learning of his death.
