A Philadelphia dispatch says that
following the southbound Royal Blue
express from that city yesterday was
an electric ear carrying several officials
of the Baltimore and Ohio and Pen
nsylvania Railrods. 1t started on an
experimental trip. The car is design
ed as a substitute for steam locomo-
tives on branch OF spur roads.
The electric car is equipped with an
so horsepower gasoline engine directly
connected to a 0-kilowatt Westing-
house generator. feeding into a stor-
age battery composed of 10S cells of
q volts each. Two so horsepower
Westinghouse motors are placed on
the front truck of the Car.
This move has been in contemplation
by the officials of these roads for a long
time. If it is found feasible and ex-
periments are successful the engines
will be used largely on the suburban
roads and for local traffic. The prac-
ticability of this method of hauling has
been tried elsewhere with varying sue
cess. The officials of these corpora
tiOns desire to test it for themselves
before adopting or discarding it. Only
short runs, it is said, will be made in
the experiments.

The Pioneer Press aces q period OF
great industrial depression coming on
unless something 10 done by means of
reciprocity, the ''handmaiden" OF pro-
lection, to extend the foreign trade OF
the country, and the Dispatch goes
further and thinks it's time to fire the
''handmaiden, and let trade flow in
natural channels. Ali of this would
have been rank heresy in republican
paper only = few years ago, but it on
~ reflects the change of sentiment
which has taken place within the
psrty--Morris Tribune.
Change of sentiment, indeed! The
Pioneer Prees and the Dispatch have
howled for tariff reform during of
years and supported high tariff cAndi~
dates on a high tariff platform at
every election 10 far back as we can
remember. No one can guage popular
sentiment by those papers. The real
truth of the matter 10 that the majority
of the people have come to recognise
the fact that neither of the old par
ties will make any effective change in
the tariff, and that 1t 10 therefore q
very dead issue. The only reason it
has not been buried 10 that the old
parties want to keep the corpse before
the people to keep their attention from
real issues. 81 ~:

one Need He Neither Weak Nor Stupid
:. to Have This Quality. - :
BY process of false reasoning ami.
ability has been connected both COLO
quially and in writing with weakness
and stupidity. Strength and ability in
sure it to no one; consequently, says
that hasty Judge, the public, it usually
exists without them. Nothing was ever
more untrue. Stupid people and weak
people may be-they very seldom are
amiable by nature, but they are the
only people for whom it is nearly i'm
possible to ultivate. amiability. It is
very difficult for really weak man
to be sweet tempered. IL: .-< s.>
The first thing which the person who
desires to be amiable must determine
to do Is never to produce fear among
bis own surr0unding-to be willing, in
a social sense, to let every one off, so
that no one regrets too bitterly having
said foolish or Ill Judged thing be-
fore him, but comforts himself with the
thought that it is forgotten; never,
that is, to lower any one in his own es-
TEEN. The second is not to differ about
matters of no Importance, not to debase
sincerity into contradictoriness, and not
to set for other people a standard
which it is unreasonable to suppose,
from previous experience Of their char
acters, that they will ever reach. The
third is never to let his, good principle
interfere with some one else's harmless
privilege, to remember that praise Is a
positive necessity to the spiritual and
mental development Of the young, and
that injudicious blame acts as blight,

How to Tell Pottery and Porcelain.

How to Tell Pottery and Porcelain.
'How shall I know pottery from
porcelain?" ia question often asked.
They may be distinguished by the fol.
lowing very simple test: II you hold
your piece up to the light AID can see
thru it-that 10, If it is translucent-
it is porcelain. Pottery is Opaque,
and is not so hard and white as por-
celain. The main differences in the
manufacture of stonewsre, earthen>
ware and porcelain are due to the in.
gradients used, to the way they are
mixed and to the degree of heat to
which they are subjected in firing.
Most of the old English wares found
In this country are pottery or semi
china, although the term china is COM
monty applied to them all. The pot.
teries in Staffordshire, covering An
area ten miles long, were the most
important in England. These pottery
wares were sold at ridiculouslys low
prices when they were first made, and
the price has risen little by little until
it has become quite preposterous. 1t
must be distinctly borne in mind, how
ever, that it is the historic crockery
only which is so valuable, decorated
with scenes relating to our own early
history or to our heroes, and, with
but q few exceptions, made 10. rich,
dark blue. With reference to q pal
ticular ware, people often cay that
they own Wedgwood. I always ask,
us it marked?" You may set 1t down
a. rule that all. Wedgwood, that is,
"Old Wedgwood," is marked with his
name. It was trial pieces only, and
such ~ escaped the w0rkman's notice,
that left the pottery unmarked. There
are peculiarities about this marking,
too; which must be noted. The name,
in small capitals, Is always clearly
