GOOD AMERICAN HUSBAND.
He Is One of the Most Satisfactory of
Our Products,

He Is One of the Most Satisfactory of
Our Products,
So many good things come from
America nowadays that one hardly ex-
| periences shock on learning that
America is also claiming to produce
husbands which are almost ideal. If
writer in the London Daily Tele-
graph is not unduly enthusiastic, the
American middle-class husband is as
perfect as it is possible for any man
to be. He MAS only one failing-he
does not put by his money in advance
to provide for the Happy home"
When he marries 1t Is usually on short
notice, and because he has fallen very
desperately in love with someone and
cannot find it in his heart to wait I'M
til cold caution declares the venture
advisable. Even when the engagement
is long one he usually squanders so
much on gifts and entertainments for
his fiancee that there is only a very
moderate amount to begin housekeep-
ing on.
his chief national characteristic as
husband-his unfailing, unselfsh and
almost improvident generosity. He Is
liberal to the point Of extravaganza in
his money relations with his wife. The
young American husband expects to
provide well and literally for his
household He is also very indulgent
to his wife's fondness for fine clothes.
He would far rather have an extrava-
CANT wife than dowdy one, and al
though he grumbles occasionally at
millinery bill, in reality he glories in
the Respondent appearance Of his wife
in her fine feathers, and would make
any sacrifice that his pride might be
ministered to in this one particular.
A true American husband who has
been out late always takes off his
shoes at the front door and undresses
In the dar!s- OF course, he frequently
lapses from this path when matrimony
has become an older joy, but, as a rule,
he is extremely devoted to his home,
and shows very little desire for pleas.
ures outside of it, Indeed, the fault
which American wives very frequently
find in their husbands is that they are
too fond of their homes. In many
households the husband is unwilling to
sacrifice his desire for an evening at
his own fireside to take his wife abroad
in search Of pleasure.

freights for raw materials and other
coarse, heavy merchandise can only
come from canal and river transpOrta-
ton. In Difference to the general de-
mand for Improvement in this direction
the government early last year formu-
lated a plan for the employment Of
electric traction engines for towing
boats on the Teltow Canal, new work
now in process of construction, which
will connect the Havel with the River
Spree just south of Berlin. The canal
Is to be twenty-three miles in length,
with one lock, and passes for a short
distance through lake where tugs in
stead Of towing engines will have to be
used. 1t is to be completed some time
during next year and is expected to
have an annual traffic of about 1,5OO,-
600 tons.
For obvious reasons this new canal
will offer an admirable opportunity for
the employment of the most improved
method Of towing, and, accordingly,
bids were solicited for an electric in
stallation to comply with certain pre-
scribed conditions, the motors being
adapted to towing boats ranging from
175 to 600 tons, loaded to 70 per cent
OF their capacity, and to be worked
with a three-phase current of 5000
volts and fifty periods. With charac-
teristic forethought the government
placed at the disposal of the competi-
tors fer experiment section of the
Finow Canal, which connects the Hav-
ell and the Oder rivers at Oderberg,
some distance north of Berlin, and dur
ing 1902 tests were made which at
tracted great attention from engineers
and traction experts throughout Eu-
rope.
The stretch chosen for the tests in
cluded the usual difficulties that would
be encountered in actual practice. 1t
was found that in rounding a curve the
light motor was derailed, and for act
ual service the motor should have at
least eight to ten horse power. To en-
able the tOwline to clear moored boats
and other distractions along the shore
the line was attached to the top of a
mast fifteen to twenty feet high and
located centrally in the forward Sec

he was adopted by merchant, whose
name he took. He served in the Con-
federate Army and as ensign on the
honclad Ticonderoga.
After the war he went as news
paper correspondent to Turkey. In
1868 he did his first important piece
of newspaper work, going to Abyssinia
with the British expedition as CORE
spondent of the Herald. In 1869 James
Gordon Bennett started him off for
Africa to find Livingstone. Of whom
nothing had been heard for years.
Stanley reached Zanzibar in January,
1871, organized his search expedition
to start for the inland in March, with
1872 native followers. He found Liv-
ingstone at Ujiji, on the shore of Lake
Tanganyika, in the following Novem-
Der, furnished him with supplies, ex-
plored the lake with him, and then
left him just as Livingstone started
out Oh his last expedition, in which he
died. Stanley got back to England In
March, 1872, and found himself ia
nous.

him, Queen Victoria sent him a gold
and diamond snuff-box, and the Royal
Geographical Society dined him. In
1873 he was sent to Africa again and
explored Lake Victoria Nyanza after
great hardships. He descended the
Congo in a memorable trip of eight
months and got back to civilization on
a Portuguese man-of-war. He receiv-
ed the cross of the Legion of Honor
after that.
Then, in succession, he explored the
Congo, and founded the present Congo
Free State, and Stanley Pool on the
upper Congo is named after him.
His last great work was the relief
of Emin Pasha, who had been left be-
hind in Central Africa when the Mahdi
swept over the Soudan, wiping out the
outposts of Egyptian civilization. He
found Emin and brought him home
Several notable books Of travel and
exploration were written by him. Az
ter his return in triumph from the
rescue of Emin Pasha, he married Miss
Dorothy Tenant, the eldest daughter
of Sir George Tenant, and an artist
Of note. He was elected to Parlia-
ment from the Lambeth Division Of
London and took prominent part
there. For the past few years he
wrote books and lectured..

RAILWAYS IN GERMANY.

Government Ownership a Financial
Success-E1ectric Power on Canals.
The State Department has received
q report from Frank III. Mason, United
States consul general at Berlin, says
the Philadelphia Ledger, giving new
and interesting details on transporta-
ton conditions in the German empire.
Speaking of the problem of govern
ment ownership of public utilities Con-
sui General Mason says:
1.-THE Prussian railway system is in
teresting as an important and typical
example Of government ownership I'M
der European conditions, in which the
direction and service are purely official
and the element of competition be-
tween parallel lines wholly eliminated.
From a financial standpoint the system
has been an unquestionable success. In
1890 the revenues of the state railways
exceeded expenditures by $119, 2S0,000,
and this surplus increased to SITS, 1885,
900 in 1890 Under the depressed con-
dltions of last year the surplus earn
Ings fell away somewhat seriously but
the railways still are and will remain a
secure and important source Of rev.
enueS to the state
son the other hand, the question as
to whether they serve the public as
well in respect to low freights, efficient
passenger service, etc., as the same
lines would do under private manage
ment and the stimulus Of free compe-
tition is wholly different proposition
and more than can be consistently
claimed. The freight service is, in COM
parlson with Western standards, slow
and expensive, and for these and other
reasons is subject to- frequent COM
plant from manufacturing and COM
mercial interests. The Prussian Gov
ernment now owns and operates 10,995
miles Of main and 5,S45 miles of sub
sidiary railway lines. The six private
companies, which the plans Of Minister
Budde would bring under government
control, all Of which are located in
eastern Prussia, will add 800 miles Of
main and LOGS miles Of secondary
lines to the government system.
Notwithstanding the overshadowing
interest of Prussia in her state rail-
ways, there is, especially in imperial
government circles at Berlin, a keen
and intelligent interest in all that re-
Iates to the Improvement Of internal
water routes, for it is recognized that
under existing conditions really cheap

Hockleben
He wore it.
The following list Of remarks he
compiled after dinner on the evening
Of the fourth warm day:
The Idiot Walker, who lives next
door: Hello, Hook! Rushing the sea

trousers?"
The baggage man at the railway
station, who is entirely too fresh:

wouldn't clutch at that this time of

The Ouiet Life.


Happy the man whose wish and care
a few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground.
Whose herds with milk, whose fields
with bread,
Whose focks supply him with attire;
Whose trees il summer yield him shade,
In winter, fire.
Blest, who can unconcern'dly find
Hours, days and years, slide soft away
In health Of body, peace Of mind,
Quiet by day.
Sound sleep by night; study and ease
Together mix'd; sweet recreation,
And innocence, which most does please
With meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not stone
Tell where I lie.

A certain Congressman from a
mountain district, says the New York
Sun, is. troubled with weak, squeaky
little voice which sometimes fails in
the midst of what might otherwise be
an eloquent peroration.
Recently, in addressing the House
on matter connected with the tariff,
he exclaimed:
"Why, tariffs are like a pair Of sus-
penders, sometimes tight and some
times loose; but Uncle Sam needs them
just the same, to keep up his"
Here the Congressman's voice struck
a high treble note, fared and stopped.
The House held its breath while he
cleared his throat. The suspense,
which seemed to last for fully min
ute, was more painful to the auditors
than to the orator, for everyone was
wondering whether he would say
trousers or "pants," and some were
even hoping that he might say "panta-
looms" Even "overalls" would be bet
ter than pants" for pants" is most
supplementary.
But all fears were without founda-
ton. He cleared his throat with the
greatest care, and in a deathlike still
ness resumed his grafton where he had
dropped 1t: ito keep up his running ex-
