Loves Bird.

Loves otro.
Love is no bird of paradise,
No eagle that outstares the sun.
No peacock that displays its vice
OF vanity to every one.
Love Is no wren that fiirts and fits
From lawn to hedge, from bush to
tree.
Love Is no painted bird that sits
Gagged in D home OF luxury.
Love is the common. homely thrush
That knows no artificial note.
Whose golden hearted lyrics gush
And flood the air wherein they float
With music that is magical,
With music that no gold can buy.
What means his song extemporal.
Who knows so well as you and II
He sings that It Is good to live.
That love of life makes melody:
That earth has nothing more to give
Than what has come to you and me.
The glad thrush in his quiet bower
Flutes forth his message rhythmical
Through rain and shine and sun and
shower
That love, dear heart. is best of ALL

American Trains Slow /,

Apart from track and traffic consid-
eratfons, the principal thing which fs
interfering with the increase in speed
of passenger trains in the United States
is the excessive weight Of both locomo-
tives and cars and the marked tenden-
cy to make them heavier. Recent
American passenger locomotives with
four drivers weigh 95 tons and the
loaded tender rs tons, making a total
of ITO tons. The total resistance of the
engine and tender alone on level at so
miles an hour is equal to drawbar
pull Of 3,l00 pounds, requiring an ex-
Penditure of 500 horse power to over
come it, and at this speed there re-
mains at the drawbar a tractive power
of onlv 1900 pounds for useful work
in hauling the train. At 20 miles an
hour tie calculated power at the draw
bar is 5000 pounds. The heaviest pas
senger work at high speed on British
or French roads Is represented by q
dynamometer drawbar pull OF 5000
pounds at 70 miles an hour, but this
work is performed by an engine weigh
ing 73 tons and total weight with ten
der of lis tons. or 80 per cent less than
the weight of the American engine
as above stated The American train
is made up of cars 20 feet long, weigh
ing so to go tons. an average express
train weighing $50 tons. The English
coaches with four-wheel trucks weigh
only 80 tons, and the heaviest din
ing and sleeping cars weigh IS tons.
When we attempt to run passenger
trains at anything like the fast sched-
uIes in use in England and France 1t
viii be necessary to reduce the weight
of our trains and to use more efficient
and perhaps tighter locomotives and
cars.-RaiiWay Age.

the open highway Of the Mississippi and

business interests Of the city.
Recent events and others that are not

of its position. The harmonious operation
of great systems for ira nseontinental traf-
fc, with Puget sound as the western
terminus, have brought and will keep here
an enlarged volume of traffic. As Orien-

rise the significance of this as a point
where freight is assembled and distribut-

swift enough for the energetic people
who were beginning to do business in
the capital city. Then was inaugu-
rated the stage and freight wagon
traffic, which ended cart travel, but
also the dog sled. as method OF trans
portatioff, which latter for time dur
ing the winter was about the only way
to get in or out of the Red river ceun-

driven tandem. six to ten dogs IN line,

The dog sleds and the OK carts only
started out when there was business,
and therefore were very irregular in
