Liberal Gift to Church,

The fashionable congregation OF

prised on reaching the pews on q re-
cent Sunday to find that they had all
been reupholstered. There was a new
and exceedingly rich carpet on the
floor and altogether the church

overhauled since the Sunday before
by some one with good taste and a
rather long pocketbook. After services

Cook Had Little Trouble to Secure

"A few weeks ago. Just before left

to do is to stand on his back porch and
use a revolver to obtain almost any

the year they could be sprayed with

feet and II the aphids are troublesome
when the trees begin to grow next

DEMANDS MADE BY COOKS.

rather startling instances just before

came to her mistress with this surpris-
ing complaint.
1.-The servants elevator Is too
crowded. ma'am, and have to wait
for the mattresses. You'll have to get
me an elevator of my own, or I'll go
to a new place
Another Chicago woman keeps up
large country establishment, some
distance from the city. Her cook was
a jewel as a cook, but very unpopu-
lar with the other servants. The
coachmen or gardners would not take
her about as they did the younger and
prettier maids. Her vanity was hurt,
but she thought she saw a way out.
I'm going to leave she declared
to her mistress one Sunday. unless
you order some of the men to take
me to church every Sunday. I've not
been accustomed to going to church
alone. and I'm not going to do it
The woman told the maid that she
could not interfere in a personal mat
ter Of that kind. and that II she could
not win the attentions OF the men ser
wants she would have to go to church
alone or return to Chicago. The cook
tried again. and. failing. gave up her
place. York Tribune.

h.R.y the cl.lrvoyant Of Science.

N-Ray the Ciairvoyant OF Science.
The scientific clairvoyant is the NJ
ray, revealing the secrets OF charac-
ter. Dr. s. Hooker has given the psy-
chical turn to N-ray research by an
nouncing as the fruit Of extensive in
vestigations that he had confirmed the
theory of previous experimenters and
that the human body emits N-rays OF
various hues from which the charac-
ter of the individual can be deter
mined. Some eminent scientists ridi-
cule the idea, some adopt a tolerant
attitude. while the psychological, fra
ternity declared they had been aware
of the existence Of these color charac-
teristics for years. Sir William Ram
sey states he has never detected the
rays, but intimates he is open to con-
viction. The skepticism that various
critics have expressed regarding the
N-rays has prompted n. Blondlot to
reply at some length. He emphatic
ally aflirms that he can perceive the
rays with the greatest certainty. He
considers II quite natural that persons
who cannot see the action Of the rays
on a phosphorescent screen should
doubt their presence; he recommends
them to lean the back and head
against a wall, and then to observe
the screen by holding 1t at level be-
low that of the eyes. SO that q plane
through the eyes and middle OF the
screen makes an angle Of 80 degrees

Electric Motor eests steam.


Consideration Of safety Of tracks,
which has heretofore limited the pos
sibilities OF high speed with steam To-
comotives. promises to be largely re-
moved as factor In the development
OF the electric locomotive. Only those
familiar with the development of the
passenger locomotive OF the last ten
years can appreciate to the full to
what extent the counterbalance on the
mammoth drive wheels Of the flyers
played havoc with even the best con-
structed tracks. Now comes the
steady running eletcric locomotive,
with the uniform rotative effort OF Its
motors and no counterbalance to
wreck the peace of mind OF the
roadmaster. In the preliminary
tests Of the most powerful loco
motive in the world, Just turned
out from the electric shops in the
east. of short stretch Of track and
hauling eight Pullmans. the train fre-
Quently exceeding sixty miles an hour.
So perfect was the control of the mo-
tOrman over 1t In starting that speed
OF thirty miles an hour was reached in
one minute, and yet so steady was the
acceleration and SO free from pound
ing was the running that none OF the
experienced I-ilroad men believed the
speeds to be as high as they actually
were. This machine. too, was not
built with an especial eye to high
speed, but with the idea Of keeping to
an ordinary passenger schedule.
While this locomotive is to be thor
oughly tried out this winter under
verying conditions, the preliminary
tests demonstrate the ability OF the
electric locomotive to handle a heavy
Pullman train on q good track In clear
weather much better than any steam
locomotive now running.
