Electric vs. Steam Railways.

It will perhaps surprise some per. sons to learn that electric railways carry eight times as many passengers as steam railways carry. There are 9S7 electric railway companies, against 2,057 steam railway compan- les. The electric roads have 1664S miles of line, against 197, ,237 miles of steam line. The former have 67,109 cars, against 1,550,S33 cars on steam railways. The total capitalization of electric roads is $2,145,6 5,606,645, against 11,6SS, 14T,001 for the steam roads. The earnings are $241, ,5S4, ,607, against $1,5SS S,526,037, and the net income ESQ., 55,233, against $241,511,31S. The cleo. tric roads are ahead also in the mum.

Tho Downfall of Pride.

If you want to keep on being friend. ly with certain charming but slightly absent minded Washington woman l advise you not to say one word to her about her new tailor made suit, says the Washington Post. It came home not long before Christmas, and she de- cided to wear 1t on shopping expedl- ton the very next day. A dozen things happened to delay her while she was dressing, and in the end she was forced to rush out hurriedly to keep an ap- polntment at the dentists. Everybody turned to stare at her as she passed. This fiatterlng recognition of the smart cut of her new three-quarters length coat was gratifying in the extreme. She tripped along well satisfied with herself and her tailor, but modestly bent on looking perfectly unconscious of the attention she was attracting. She came to crossing where the pavement was not as clean as 1t usual ly is. The street was 7th street, and crowded. She dropped her hand to pick up her trim skirt. The next mo- ment the absent-minded lady with a cry of horror was flying down a side street. She had come out to shop in a new coat and plaid silk petticoat The skirt of her new suit was in her wardrobe at home.

 He read in a newspaper how Dodd s Kidney Pills were curing cases of Kid ney Trouble, Bright's Disease and Rheumatism, and thought he would try them. He took two boxes, ana now he is quite well. He says:
 "I can now work all day, and not feel tired. Before using Dodd's Kid ney Pills, couldn't walk across the fonr.''

NEGRO AND THE STEAMBOAT.
River Mans Reason for Believing
 Colored Man Good Roustabout,

"The suggestion came out of St Louis the other day that white labor had replaced the negro on the wharf and that after long service the black roustabout was about to enter upon the decline of his sway" said an old river man; "all of which, I may add, I accept with grain of salt, as the saying goes. Somehow 1 can never think of the successful and really val. uable roustabout as anything but black man.
 "The negro seems to have been born to the calling. He is as rule, fond of the steamboat, and naturally takes to steamboat work. He has always lowered around the river. Of course, you will find negroes back in the hills and scattered around in the higher al- Htudes, but the vast majority of them you will find quartered in the lowlands of the country, and on the rivers, where he can hear the futter of steam boat wheels. There is one other fact to be mentioned in connection with the negro's peculiar fitness for steam. boating.
 "Did you ever hear the steamboat mate talking to the 'rousters' for instance, when the boat was little late in pulling out and during the busy season? Hast not, eh? Well, there is something in store for you, something lurid and forceful and something that will force you to run the gamut of the emotions. The point is that the negro is stimulated and urged on to quicker work by this kind of talk. Profanity is an essential in tho mates calling. The negro needs it. I was just won- dering if the white man would ever get used to it. Maybe so, but have my doubts about it."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

THE CASPIAN SEA.
One OF the Remarkable Physical
Features 0f the Globe.

One OF the Remarkable Physical
Features of the Globe.
One OF the most remarkable physical
features or the globe Is the deep and
wide depression in the hollow of which
stands the Caspian sea ana near 10 it
the sea OF Aral. The Caspian is nearly
as large as France. and its surface is
eighty-four feet below the level OF the
Black sea. The sea of Aral is nearly
as large rs Ireland and is very little
over the sea level Within recent geo
logical times the vast eNpanse I'm which
these lakes are found was sea. Its
noor has been gradually raises and the
waters filling the deprcSsions are Sll
that is left OF 0n ancient Mediterra-
mean. y strange feature OF both bodies
of water is that although they receive
large rivers. especially the Caspian.
into which the Nolga. the Ural river
and scores OF streams from the eau
caSuS How. both have FOR many years
been getting sh9liower. Evaporation.
for they have no outlet. exceeds the in
flow. But. for some climatic reason
probably. the sea Of Aral and its neigh
Dor, Lake Balkhash. have since 1891
been Increasing in depth. Whereas the
Caspian. like the Dead sea. is very
salt, owing TO the rate OF evaporation,
Aral and BalkhaSh are bracbish only.
These remnants Of what was once a
great sea opening into the ocean, as
the Mediterranean does now, still con
tain marine fish ana seals. Some OF
the latter survive i'm the Aral and Bal
kSl lakes. having gradually become
fitted Tor their habitat. though it is no
longer salt but merely brackiSh. and.
in the case OF Bail>al actually fresh
water.-London Telegraph.
