NEW RAIL JOINT.
Which Promises to Revo1u'
tionize Railroad Building.

Invention Which Promises to Revolu-
tionize Railroad Building.
Delbert P. Springer, Of Waverly, N.
Y, has just been granted letter pat
ents on a new rail joint that promises
to revolutionize railroad building in
the near future. The primary object
Of the invention is to provide rail
joint which will allow for contraction
and expansion and wherein the over
tapping or meeting ends Of rails will
be maintained in fixed relative posi-
ton independently Of rail-chairs or
other devices usually employed for
such purpose. A further object Of the
invention is to have a rail-joint of
such construction that wear and tear
on the rolling stock, as well as vibra-
ton, will be reduced to a minimum,
and lateral spreading, as we'll as sag

means for securing the tongues and
projections.
3. A rail-joint consisting of rail
ends longitudinally slotted TO form
projections terminating in tongues. the
slots having inner short transverse
shoulders and the sides of the oppo-
site rails adjacent to the latter pro-
yided with horizontal resisting en-
fragments to receive the tongues be-
tween them, each rail adjacent to the
transverse shoulder of the slot thereof
having chair enlargement pro-
jected beyond said shoulder and
reduced to form a seat, the seats r.
ceiving the terminals of the nroiec
tons, and means for fastening the
tongues and projections to each other.
The accompanying cut will be OF
general interest, and will give the
practical railroad man an excellent
idea Of the new invention. A trial
track Of these new joints is now in
operation near New York.

Daniel Webster was never noted
for attention to detail in business mat

often taken advantage of by unscru-

for paid bills simply because they
were not demanded. Webster was

A Mark of Distinction.

A short while ago a certain we'll

blessed with a tremendous head of
hair, which Is generally in a state Of
wild disorder, was questioning
youthful witness in order to make sure
that he comprehended the character
and Importance Of the oath he was
about to take. Boy" he said, in
his severest magisterial manner, "do

Does village improvement pay?
Those who doubt 1t may find some
thing suggestive in the conclusion Of
a man who is looking for home In a
New England village accessible from
Boston. In his search he visited one
town to which he had been recon-
mended. He found the railway station
shabby, the common, in sight from the
station, covered with long grass, and
weeds growing along the sidewalks.
The whole place had bedraggled and
neglected air. The man decided at
once that he did not care to buy prop.
erty or to live among people appar-
entity so Indifferent to appearances as
those who controlled affairs in that
town.

Since the beginning Of the war jap
an has increased her debt from about
$3.50, 100000 to 1891, 100000, but of
this amount she has on hand perhaps
as much as $175,O00,Ooo unexpended.
In the same time Russia's debt has in

So, 100000. japan will probably
receive about $100,O0O,000 from Russia
in payment for the maintenance Of

1t is probably true that the theory
and practice of bacteriology have
been carried to absurd lengths by en-
thusiasts, but If the science had ac-
complished nothing save to control
diphtheria it would justify all the en-
comiums Of its devotees. Under the
antitoXin treatment, which is the re-
suit OF meteorological work, the diph-
liberia death rate in Chicago has been
reduced from 1907 per 10000 to 1904
per 10000. The record speaks for it.

to all the iests and Jibes-some Of
them good-natured and others not

theory. Bacteriology has proved Its
right to place among the great san
itary agencies of tie century.

Suremburg, Germany, in conjunc-
ton with the Society o. German Clock
Makers, recently erected monument
to Peter Henlein. Four hundred years
ago he substituted springs for weights
In clocks, and thus prepared the way
for the watch. His work also meant
that clocks could be made smaller,
since length was no longer required
for the fall of the weight It is prob
able that the first spring was not
coiled as at present. but consisted Of
a strip fastened at one end, with a
string at the other end pulled down
and coiled round the driving wheel
The spring thus acted like the sapling
In moose trap. It's play was limited,
and the timepiece soon ran down.

Among the other results OF cont1n-
ued national prosperity is the increase
in the number Of young men who are
acquiring a college education. He Is
a poor man, indeed, who cannot send
his son to college nowadays. This is
markedly true in the West. where all
the higher institutions of learning re-
port an enrolment of unprecedented
size. All classes Of people-farmers,
merchants, mechanics-have pros
pered beyond expectation, and the first
thought of an American in such cir
cumstances is to give his son a col
lege education, which Is supposed to
mean a better chance in life than a
common school education affords.
There is some difference of opinion
respecting this conclusion, but most
people will agree that, other things be-
ing equal the man with a good educa-
ton will have an advantage over the
man with deficient education or with
no education at all. We may easily
see, however, that the number Of col
bred men may exceed the number
Of professional or business open
ings available for educated men.
In that contingency the question
would arise: What shall we do
with our college graduates?
1t Is easy enough to say that col
iege man will make a better truck
man or hod-carrier or street car con-
ductor than an illiterate man. But
will the college man, in default Of
professional employment go to work
as a truckman or hodcarrter or a
street car conductor? That Is the
crucial question. If he will not do so
not all be merchants or doctors or
lawyers or scientific men. Some of
us must be Gibeonites-some of us
must do the worlds hard, disagree
able work; some of us must hew wood
and draw water. With the present
spread Of college and university edu-
cation the time seems not far distant
when all of us will be competent to
fill the higher posts in life and very
much disinclined to accept the hum
bier ones When we reach that stu
alton the question of employing our
college graduates will become one of
paramount Importance. One solu-
ton Of that question may be the re-
duction of the output of the colleges.
| 1t will hardly be worth while to teach
a man Latin and Greek and the higher
mathematics in order to prepare him
FOR acknowledgements If he re,
fuses to dig bitches.

OF d slight to hurt. without being suf-
ficient to resent. The giving Of dabs
Is an essentially feminine trait; and
one woman may make another exceed
ingly unhappy by exhibiting it. The
reason men do not give dabs Is De
cause they have been about enough
to see the fooMshnss Of it. Any
woman who has been around much
sees the same, for the matter OF that.
But fewer women have been around.
Until they get around. their penchant
for dabbing will remain, for getting
around makes one get busy in the
head. A dab is the natural output OF
a head with nothing more important
to do. The mind must find activity
somewhere, and housekeeping, or rum
ming the cook leaves good deal OF
excess vitality In woman's head. SO
she uses 1t up In dabs. Oh, yes, dab
bling takes head work. Some dabs are
vastly clever. But isn't 1t too bad to
spend good life in making others I'M
happy? Here Is the cure: Get busy
In the head AS an inducement to take
ito those who need lit may be
added that dabbing ends In making
the dabber far more unhappy than
1t makes the dabbed. For the cordial
dislike of a large collection Of dabbed
ones is no nice thing to encounter,
and such a collection is easy to ac-
quire, since no one is so faultless as
to be undabbable. This earth is full
Of women with mental capacity far
above their jobs. No, housekeeping
cannot be successfully done by a
stupid person. 1t takes head, unde-
niably. But it doesn't often take all
the head woman has. Hence dabs.
Now, If you don't believe this, get in
q crowd of women and listen. If you
don't hear something enlightening,
you've poor ears. And then, if you
are woman without sufficient men
tai employment, get busy in the head.
