propulsion a possibility. Built after
Mr.. Hoffman's pattern the railway
freight engine would resemble a big
auto touring car with conical boiler,
on the apex Of which would be an cleo
trio headlight.
A combination carriage and engine
would be pointed like cowcatcher in
front and the roof would shape back
ward and upward SO as to utilize the
air pressure to hold the car steady.
Travel at the rate Of 100 miles per
hour, it is claimed, would be as safe
as it is now at less than half that
rate. - .......
1.-TWO thousand revolutions minute
is the rate at which I have run my
engine for long stretches of time" says
Hoffman. Compute that with a 49,
inch drive wheel. Such wheel will
travel, not allowing for any resistance

allowance and dividing in $3.50 feet to

Saving House-Rent.

Having learned by experience that
one paying rent will in few years
pay out sum equal to the value Of
the house in which one lives, with a
very small beginning we invested in a
building lot, and in small way be-
came our own building association. We
applied first to a building and loan
association, but it was soon clear to
US that the interest demanded was
greater than that required by bank.
Then we made arrangements with a
bank, by giving mortgage on the
house. OF course, the prospect Of
owning a home inspired us to various
small economies, and in few years
the property was paid for, as the ex-
pense, including interest, insurance,
taxes, ETC.. was at least one hundred
dollars less than We had been paying
for rent. The house, being new, need
ed no repairs, and, planned according
to our own ideas, was more convenient
and comfortable than any we could
rent.-Woman's Home Companion.

Good everyday common sense is
sometimes handed down from the
bench more effectively even than the
| law. Judge Babcock, Of Cleveland,
has supplied an instance, when in rem
dering decision he said: "The young
married couple that start life on an
income Of $500, and proceed to live
very farsighted to see a divorce at the
end of their romance" All law has
been said to be but systematiZed COM
mon sense. But, unfortunately, all
common sense Is not law. The simple
truth SO bluntly stated by this Judge
is one Of the most important, but least
needed, truths in human life. The
startling assertion was made the other
day by a statistical authority in Geor
gia that nine-tenths Of the young men
of that State working on salaries were
in debt through higher living than
their salaries warrant It Is to be
hoped the same proportion does not OBJ
tain in other sections Of the country.
It makes brisk business for the mon
ey sharks" but is fatal to all others.
It would seem to be the most easily
comprehended proposition in the world
that a young man or young couple
cannot successfully spend $40 week
on a SO income. Multiplying the fig
ures will not change the proportion or
lessen the danger. Ten dollars income
and SO expenditure form the road to
success. Nine dollars income and $40
expenditure form the road to failure.
The guide-post, plainly marked, at
which choice is made between these
two roads, Is the most critical point
in young mans life. Perhaps all this
Is platitude. 1t has been worn thread
bare by repeated assertions ever since
civilization began. The vital truth and
Importance of it is demonstrated every
day. But the fact remains that mil
lions give no heed. The happy homes
Of the land where peeSe and prosperity
have their shrines are the homes
where frugahty binds hearts together
in loving. hopeful sympathy. The dol
lar In the bank is good guard against
want, but only the common sense spirit
Of making both ends meet can guard
against that demon worse than want
Worry, which wrecks the home. Inc
American people have a most unenVla-
HE reputation for bankruptcies and Oil
vorces. The penny more spent than
the penny earned is perhaps the most

In previous article a warning was
uttered against the danger Of resort
to headache powders and other pow
erful drugs for the relief of headache
It was shown that the remedy even
tually would prove worse than the dis
ease, and that the wisest course for a
sufferer from periodical attacks Of pain
in the head was to search for the
cause Of the trouble and remove it, or
If that was not possible, to use such
palliative measures as would soften
the pain and perhaps shorten the at
tack, even if they could not cure.
There is another unfortunately large
warning comes too late. The head
aches have existed for so many years
that they have become inveterate and
recur again and again, until seemingly
the only possible mitigation of the SUI
fering is in drugs. The headache
habit is fully established, and the
drug habit has followed as an almost
necessary consequence. The problem
is now the cure of the drug habit,
which must be attacked by the removal
Of the cause.-The headache habit.
Severe periodical headaches, of the
kind which almost force the sufferer
to drugs. are almost always either oc-
only by the accurate fitting OF 1 g,a Geo.
or the remedying Of other eye defeesSaS'
or by overcoming the equity condition.
Neither of these tasks Is easy, even to
the most skilful Of physicians, after
the headaches have persisted SO long
that "habit" Of the system has been
formed, yet persistence In treatment
will always bring an amelioration, and
sometimes cure.
The sufferer from equity or uric-acld
headache has usually for the time be-
ing the choice Of three evils-to en-
dure the pain, to take some more or
less poisonous drug, with its evil con-
sequences on the heart and In the es-
tablishment Of a ha bit, or to take aclds
with the design Of transferring the
pain from the head to the joints. Per
| manent relief can be got only, In gen
eral, from dieting-either alone or COM
bined with appropriate treatment al
some mineral spring.
Such grave condition should OF
course be treated by the trained ply
stefan, and it is possible here to indi
cate only the general outline of dietary
called for. 1t is the rigid exclusion
for time, at least, of all meat, fish
poultry, eggs, tea and coffee, as wei
as peas and beans. One need not feal
starvation even under this radical regi
men, for there remains a choice OF
milk. cheese, bread and butter, fruits
nuts, potatoes and nearly all the vege
tables.-Youth's Companion.

It would be difficult for the Tsar to
draft a law which would do so much
for the internal peace of Russia as has
been done by the birth of his son. The
direct line of succession is now as
sured, and the intirgues for favor with
the collateral heirs to the throne are
no longer attractive. The effect Of the
removal of their obstructive plans from
the path of the Tsar ought soon to be
manifest in more harmonious govern
ment The need OF an heir to the

The eloquent fact that the auction
sale of the late William Q. Whitney's
stud realized close to half a million
dollars, taken in connection with the
results Of the sales Of several other
notable stables Of late, serves to illus
trate the circumstances that the de-
mand for good horsefesh was never
greater than it is now. and that 1t has
rarely fetched better prices. We some
times hear the suggestion that the pas
sion for fine horsefiesh is going out and
that the growing fancy for automo-
billing has hurt it. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. II any gen.
tleman doubts this proposition let him
go into the horse marts and try to find
q good horse. He will probably sue
coed in his mission, but he will also
ascertain that the demand far exceeds
the supply.

this, that the abstract conceptions Of

FINDS ENGINE MARVEL.
New Rotary Will Develop Speed o
24O Miles an Hour.


The New York Herald recently con-
tanned an account of the perfecting or
the Hoffman rotary engine which, it Is
claimed, will revolutionize the use Of
steam. William F. Hoffman, of Buff
falo. the inventor Of the new engine,
has been at work on the problem for
more than thirty years, and it is said
emissaries from the Russian govern
ment have been trying to induce him
to part with the exclusive rights to the
invention.
The story Of Hoffman's struggles in
his battles with science are detailed
infinitely. Before he succeeded in Sc
curing the perfected 300-horse power
rotary he is said to have constructed
nine complete engines and to have ex-
pended more than $4,000. Some of
the money was provided by Wall
street firm which afterward was swept
away In a financial panic.
The secret of the invention Is said
to be the revolution Of the cyclinder
outside Of the piston instead Of revolv-
ing the piston inside the cylinder. Here
are some Of the startling things claim
ed for the new engine:
It possesses one-seventh OF the fric-
don of the ordinary type Of engine.
There is practically ne limit to the
speed.
Two thousand revolutions per min.
ute are easily accomplished
There Is no vibratio whatever un.
der excessive rates of speed.
