The Auto Trolley.

It seems certain that the near future
will see the familiar trolley system Of
today superseded by the trackless, or
auto, trolley, which has already been
successfully tried in Germany, says
Harper's Weekly. A system of track
less trolleys is in active use in the
Biela valley, near Dresden, carrying
both passengers and freight. The troll
ley is so contrived as to allow train
consisting Of motor cars and trailers
to turn aside in passing vehicles on the
road. an excellent plan for obviating
the vexatious delays so frequent in or
binary trolley travel. The train Is
steered by the front wheels on the first
car and is equipped with a sliding
contact. A speed of twelve kilometers
an hour is said to have been maintain
ed over good roads. 1t is claimed that
the road can be equipped and oper-
sted at considerably less expense than
Is necessary In the case of the system
now in common use.

BE YOUR OWN DOCTOR.
Some Good Advice to Those Who
Would Be Healthy.

From an exchange.
At a convention of doctors in Wash
ington, recently, the chair said that
there were too many doctors, too many
schools for doctors and too much doe.
toring.
Just the reverse is the truth, if the
matter be looked at little more
broadly, says the Saturday Evening
Post. Every man should be doctor;
every school should be first of all a
school of medicine, every one should
be doctoring all the time.
But doctor should not mean a person
who patches up the human machine;
school of medicine should not mean
place where common sense is smooth
cred in useless and even dangerous &C
cumulations of more or less Inaccurate
observations on surface symptoms OF
disease and on the methods of making
those surface symptoms disappear:
doctOring should not mean dosing
with drugs that leave weakness and
woe behind them in dismal trail on
their way to give disease bottle that,
with its violence, shakes the very
foundation of health.
If from earliest childhood we were
taught and were got in the habit OF
practicng the only certain truths OF
medicine-that disease cannot fasten
upon the body that is well aired, well
carried, well fed with real food taken
slowly and in moderation, well treated
in the matter of regularity-if this
millennium should arrive, such of the
doctors as did not turn surgeons would
seek employment as experts upon
sanitation.
Disease,is not cause. 1t is an effect.
It's best, it's only true doctor, is Doctor
Prevention.
The more savage the penalties OF
ignorance, the faster the spread OF
intelligence. The MULTIPLICATION OF
bad professional doctors, shaking as
it does blind public confidence in cures
and professional curers, is not cloud
without T. aces of silver lining.

had enjoyed Tor decade: Stewart
had been the chief of scouts when,
forty years ago, McCook was fighting
Apaches on the frontier The general
had not seen him since that war, but
showed his deep regard for his old
friends by remembering so humble a
comrade. The remark Of the old scout
referred to a time when McCook, then
a lieutenant, and detail under Colonel
gt Vrain were chasing the Apaches.
They had struck q hot trail and had
been on it thirty-six hours without
food Fearing to wait to prepare a
meal, for every minute was then pre-
cious, so close was the trail, Colonel
st. Vrain determined to keep on his
march. Realizing the condition Of his
men and officers, he had given per-
mission for the men to partake of such
rations as they could in the saddle, and
turning to his lieutenant he remarked:
"McCook, have a cigar?'
mo, thank you, SIR" was the quick
response; II never smoke before break

NEW MERGER PROPOSED.
A Church Combination Is Now
Contemplated.

from the Omaha Bee.
The irresistible trend of the times is
toward mergers and unions, not only
in the domain of industry and COM
merce, but also in the sphere of relig-
ion. The very latest movement in
this direction is the proposed church
merger that contemplates the union
of the Congragationalists, Methodist
and other protestant denominations.
The Promoters of the proposed
church merger assert that Protestant
church union has become imperative
in order to prevent the unnecessary
multiplication of church buildings as
measure of economy and the absorp-
tion Of the struggling church weak
lings by the robust religious bodies
that have already obtained firm
foothold in the United States.
From the economic, or rather BUSH
ness, point of view this plan is very
attractive, especially to the robust and
high salaried ministers, but it is also
manifest that the merger will crowd
out the weaklings among the clergy
and compel them to find other con-
genial occupations. The merger would
also have a tendency to send up the
pew rents in the fashionable metropol
tia churches by few notches, and
incidentally stimulate the price Of
Easter bonnets and fashionable female
apparel. Since mergers have become
the order of the day suggestive com
ments from the secular press is liable
to be regarded as an impertinent in
truSIOn.

AN OLD WOODEN WARSHIP.
HARTFORD, SOLE SURVIVOR OF HER
CLASS, TO BE KEPT AFLOAT.
She Was Commanded BY Farragut at the
Battles of Mississippi River and
Mobile Bay.

Those who delight in war and blood
shed, with their accompaniment of
thrilling stories of heoric deeds, or
those, even, who would have all int
national and domestic controversial
settled by arbitration, have reason to
rejoice that when congress, a few years
naval appropriation bill that repairs
to all wooden VESSELS should be dis
continued, it accepted the famous old
ships Hartford and Kearsage, Since
then the Kearsage has met Che fate Of
so many other ships, having been
wrecked on a reef in the Caribbean
sea. But the old Hartford, in commits
sion, with her officers and crew on
board and in their distinctive and fas-
cinating uniforms, and the ship with
her lofty and symmetrical masts and
spars and her sails furled, and every
rope IN place, has been most interest
ing to visitors during her recent visit
to the navy yard. She is now on the
records as doing duty in the coast
squadron and has left the navy yard
and gone to Annapolis.
The old ship is a different looking
vessel, so far as the interior is con.
cerned, from the one which Farragut
commanded at the battles on the Mis-
sissippi river in 1852, and at Mobile
bay in 1864. And yet, although there
is little left OF the old ship beyond her
keel and frame and name, she has not
lost Der outward identity, and anv OF
those who we're familiar with her in
the days of the civil war would recog-
nize her now. she was originally a
steam vessel. or sloop-of-war, or 1900
tons displacement, and was built at
Boston in 1858. She has the same
graceful and symmetrical lines that
she presented on that hot summer day
when she led the wooden fleet past the
guns of Fort Morgan, in 1864, at the
battle of Mobile bay, when Farragut
won another of his great vict ories and
coined the phrase that has gone down
into history, when he called out to the
commander OF the Brooklyn (who had
hauled his ship out of the line when
he saw one of the monitors go down by
an explosion of a torpedO) damn the
torpedoes; go ahead!'' The famous
old ships have all gone except the
Hartford, and she is destined to re-
main ahoat so long as she can be kept
in a seaworthy condition, so as to
remind the present and future genera
tions of the kind of ships and the
manner of men their ancestors we're
in the days when men and ships were
needed to preserve the nation.

BIRDS CHANGE HISTORY,
The Influence of PARROTS on the
Religion of America.

A fight of birds changed the history
of America under the following cir
Gums tanceG, says an exchange. When
Columbus sailed westward over the
Atlantic, he expected to reach Zipangu,
Japan. After several DAYS sail from
Genera, one of the Canary islands, he
became uneasy at not discovering
Zipangu, which, according to his reck-
oning, should have been 215 nautical
miles more to the east. After long
discussion he yielded to the opinion
of Martin AlonZO Pinzon, the comman-
der of the Pinta, and steered to the
southwest. Pinzon was guided in his
opinion by flight of parrots toward
the southwest. The effects of this
change in his course curiously exem-
plifies the influence of apparently tri'
vial events in the worlds affairs. Had
Columbus kept his original route he
would have entered the gulf stream,
reached the coast of Florida and then
probably been carried to Cape Hatteras
and Virginia. The result would prob
ably have been to give the present
United States Roman Catholic Span
ish population instead of Protestant
English one, circumstance OF i'm
measurable Importance. "Never, j"
wrote Humboldt, chad the flight OF
birds more important consequences.
1t may be said to have determined the
first settlement on the new continent
and it's distribution between the Latin
and Germanic races.
