USES TEXAS" TRACK.

A trestle of the Southern railway
near Taswell, between Princeton and
New Albany. Ind, was burned last
Thursday morning, and the Southern
handled its business by transfer with
the Henderson Route, until the trestIe
could be repaired. Several Southern
trains passed over the Henderson
Route daily. The trestle was over
deep ravine and was $50 feet long
and fortv-six feet high. Sparks from
a freight engine are supposed to have
set it on fire. The damage was estimat-
ed at So, 900.

Doos and Automobiles.

In commenting On recent accident
in which a large automobile was up
set and badly damaged by running in
to a dog, the Country Life. Of London,
says: The wonder is that more incl
dents of this kind do not happen
considering that the majority Of dogs,
though they will run cut Of the way
of a trott;ng horse, will not stir an
inch out of the direct patti OF an ap-
preaching car. Many OF t>.em, more
over. if on the sidewalk, will rush
violently into the middle Of the road
as a car passes, and 1t Is only by
violent swerve on the drivers part
that the immolation Of the animal
can be averted. The pace OF the We
hicle scarcely enters into the ques-
ton; the dog simply rushes out at
right angles as soon as the car is
opposite; indeed, the animals best
chance of escape is for the vehicle to
be so fast that it has sped by before
the dog has had time to hurl itself
under the back wheels.

The Pluck of Edison.

There are today about quarter or
q billion incandescent lamps in this
country. The man who has not seen
an electric light is looked upon as a
curiosity. But it is only twenty-five
years since Edison succeeded in max
ing a practical electric light, after
three years of failures.
Mr.. Edison began his work on an
electric light in 1876. In two years ne
had made nothing but failures and ne
had lost his health. He took month, 8
vacation and began again. All the
greatest electricians of the world
said that an irtcandescent lamp. was
impossible. But Edison persevered,
and in a few months more hit upon
the right idea. On Christmas Day
1879, his office was lit up for the frs'
time with the new lights, which are
today in all parts Of the world.

Sent For Her Nanny"

A beautiful young lady, 4 member

with her husband to New York City to

her .old black nanny" was very ten-

in the East she determined to have

THE SERVANT OF THE FUTURE.
domestic Revolution Which is Predicted
For the Future.

For the Future.
That most conservative of period-
Gals, Chambers Journal. has recently
presented to its readers the views OF a
Number of intelligent men and women
regarding the coming domestic revo!u-
ton. They all seem to agree i'll re-
garding such revolution as inevitable,
and profess to believe that the reorgan-
ization OF domestic life will not be
matter of choice much longer, but one
Of compulsion.
A careful study of the opinions OF
these students of household economy
has made it possible to form the fol-
lowing composite pen portrait OF the
servant of the future:
The days of domestic service, as it is
at present understood, are numbered.
1t will soon be quite impossible in a
middle-class family to secure the serv-
ices of any young person willing to
work from early morning until late At
night. The only domestic service OBJ
tainable will he that of 4 new class OF
servant, who will be better educated
and probably far more intelligent than
the present typical maid-of-alf-work,
but who will be even more independ-
ent. if that is possible. Her indebend-
ence will, however, be founded on hon.
orable seif-respect and not on ig-
norance, and will therefore be more
endurable. She will be fairly we'll
trained in household duties, and will
require to be left alone to perform
them to the best of her ability. She
will not submit for one Goment to any
thing approaching to dogmatic auto
cracy: and will demand the same sort
of respect and tolerance that is already
given cheerfully to the trained nurse.
The chief difference between her and
the present race of unsatisfactory do
mestic servants will be that she will
only work for certain number or
hours a day, probably eight; she Will
not sleep in the house, but when her
days work is done she will retire TO
her own home or to the drawing room,
entertainment room or study of tie
residential club of which she is men,
Der.
For some underlined reason this pic
ture is not a particularly alluring one,
and the writer's themselves admit that
the new order of things will at first be
strongly resented by housewives. And
not by housewives only will this para
son of domestic servant be looked upon
with cold disapproval, for every bache-
lor who has lived in lodgings during
the days when work was done by
merely Mary Ann" will regret the dis
appearance of that incapable but 1t.
tractive young person.

Doing Ones Best.

We should not only seek to do our best,
but also to do the best that can be done.
No man can tell when he has done his
best. The best should always be the high
est reach possible. The striving for excel
lence is not alone for the sake of the life
be regarded as good enough if it could
be- made better. 1t was said Of Lord
Brougham that such was his love of excel
lence that, IF his station in life had been
only that OF bootbiack, he would never
have rested satisfied until he had become
the best bootblack in England" 1t is no
wonder, remarks the Baptist Union, that
he was one of the best men in the empire.
In seeking to do his best. ever aiming at
excellence, he was gradually making him
self one of the best men. And after all
the great purpose Of life is only achieved
when one not only does his best, but Is his
best

that the gospel carries its comfort in dis

we were counting on to help us in the fu-

Manhood.

Manhood has two or three qualities.
First, self-assertion. and good many men
never get beyond that-they become bull
lies or egotists. They always get their
way, ride rough shod over every man. I
do not say se,f-assertion is to be de-
stroyed, it is to be directed, and that is
the second quality, self-direction. That
power belongs to every man. God Him
self does not invade or destroy it. The
powers of self-assertion and self-direc.ion
reach their climax in se!f-surrender to the
highest.-Rev. w. T. Mcdowell, New York

so prosperous. The religious nature Of our
college students was never more genuine
than in our own days.
But to speal, ci those who are not al
tending our churches, is it not because
they have never had a true vision OF the
vital reality and practicabiiity OF Christ's
messages: The great majority Of men in

they could follow Christian precepts with
out attending church. Is not the fault Of
lack of attendance on Christian worship
due rather to the manner OF life we are
living than to q definite unbeief in the
virtue OF the Christian religion! They are
so much absorbed in the struggle for
money that they have neither time nor
desire to see anything else. Every one is
hunting for it, the business man, the poll
tician, the professional man. the laborer,
the coachman, the waiter, the conductor,
the porter, the barber, the messenger, the
clergyman who is paid for burials and bap-
tisns, the corporation. This one craze
seems to leave no part of American So
ciety intact, rich and poor, high and low,
alike, are infected with this disease, which
is sapping all the spiritual and moral ea-

The church is not the only place from

HE DIED TO MAKE GOOD.

The newspapers stated only few
days ago that the court had ordered
the insurance money on the life OF
the late r. II. Plant turned over to
his creditors, and that there was
enough to pay them in full.
You all remember Robert II
Plant, the Macon banker, whose re-
cent failure and suicide created a
great sensation all over the south.
No man in all Georgia stood high
err than Plant, bat when he failed
thousands proclaimed him II crimi-
nal. He was charged with deliber-
ate misappropriation of. funds OF
hard working people and the PIT
tances of widows and children. On
every street corner in the city where
he had spent his life he was de-
nuunced us scOundrel.
You cant tell what is Inside OF
man by looking at him.
The sequel showed that r. IL.
Plant over-reached himself in enter
prises for the public good and that
he was thoroughly honest.
1t wrings my heart, said Plant,
"to think of the widows and orphans
who have lost their money
Whereat the people cried out,
"HypUcrit! Villain! He adds insult
to injury by an exhibition of false
pity for his victims"
These people did not know what
was going on in the breast and brain
OF Robert H. Plant.
For years h" had carried over II
million Of life insurance.
one day Plant sent Il bullet
through his brain. Then it became
known that aside from small
amount of this insurance which was
made payable to his family, but
which had been hypothecated the
bulk Of it was left entirely to his
creditors. Not cent was given to
his family. And it was also made
apparent that he committed suicide
in order to hasten the payment of
the money to his creditors.
Then high honors were paid to the
lifeless clay OF this man. The people
understood. He had suffered his
Gethscmeme in the agony caused by
the distrust of the public. His Cal
vary was an ignomimious death that
the widows and children might have
their own. And there is pathos in
the thought that Plant, dying, hoped
to have the world speak well of him
at last.
He did wrong? Well, let us not
debate that now. Let us remember
only the words:
Greater love hath no man than
this, that he lay down his life for his
