A cargo from Italy invariably appeals
to the elmer man." Many barrels OF
wine, some of them bound UP with
ropes of straw, casks of olive oil, olives
picked and fresh, cases of cheeses,
casks of cherries, sausages of unusual
composition, Italian cured hams,
strings of garlic, NUTS in bags and bar.
rels, and, most delicious Of all to the
experienced Italian palate, snails,
boxes and boxes of them, all go to
make up giants share of delicates-
sen. Such cargoes are becoming
larger and more numerous on Amer1-
can docks because the railroads have
by means of reasonable rates intro
duced the tlelicacies throughout the
inland markets.
1t is natural for the railroads to
want profitable return shipments in
their grain cars, for if they can make
these cars pay both ways they are
abe to lower the rate on export wheat
and to give the American farmer a
better market in Liverpool. OF course

The Hearts Behavior.

A recent publication of Ann Arbor
University describes an instrument for
securing a continuous graphic record
of the pulse rate in man which affords
valuable indications of tle hearts
work. The records show that the COM
mencement of muscular work is follow
ed almost simultaneously by a marked
acceleration of the pulse. In fact, this
modification of the pulse rate is OBJ
served in the next herat cycle after the
work begins. In typical cases there are
three well marked stages: a primary
rise, a period of sustained accelera-
ton and a secondhand rise. Similar
stages of decrease in rate occur after
tae work stops. The rapidity of the
pulse during the work depends not
only upon the amount of work done,
but much more upon the manner in
which is done. Speed ana resistance
are factors requiring separate consid-
Grafton, and Of these two speed has
greater influence. These records show
that while muscular work may not APP
preciably require the expenditure OF
bodily forces, it Immediately reacts
upon the heart, and that conversely
cessation of muscular eXertion is an
immediate relief to the heart.-Phiia-
delphia Record. :

Washington, Sept. 3.-Recent re-
ports indicate that this is likely to be
a banner year in American export
trade. Harvests are good on the broad
farms of the great west; from the DO
main of King Cotton comes similar in
telligence; eastern manufacturing in
xlustries are prosperous. 1t is often
said in these days that Europe is be-
coming Americanized through its eff
forts to please wealthy tourists from
this side Of the water. With more
truth, it might be said that Europe is
becoming Americanized because OF the
rapidly increasing volume Of trade be-
tween the old world and the new.
America does a large part in the work
of feeding the nations OF the earth,
wherever goods are bought and sold.
The details of the foreign commerce
statistics Of the country for the fiscal
year ending June 80 show that the
greatest increase of imports involved
manufacturers materials, while the
largest gain in exports was made in
factory products. Furthermore, an
analysis of the statistics reveals the
fact that the manufacturing centers OF
the interior are more than holding
their own WITH those of the states on
the coast. Previous investigations OF

A MUNICIPAL EXPRESS SERVICE.

New Bedford Standardization max
of it's municipal street car service
and the ship canal in which it is the
dominant partner, the city of Man
chester, Eng, has undertaken the
unique business of conducting munic-
| ipal express service, which is now
we'll established and is being carried
on on an extensive scale. When the
city applied to parliament for the priv
! ilege the railway companies, the
carriers, and the team owners, pre-
scented united opposition, urging that
the municipality was invading their
province. But parliament is ever
ready to encourage municipal enter
prises, and SO the scheme was put in
to operation, to the great satisfaction,
apparently, of the people who are con-
cerned. The service is applicable to
parcels up to one hundred and twelve
pounds weight, and these are collect
ed and delivered anywhere within the
limits of Manchester and in the fiji
teen outlying towns and several vii
lagos than can be reached from the
city by street cars. There is a cen
trail receiving house for parcels in
the heart of the city and twenty-six
other depots scattered throughout the
region and, besides collecting wag
ons call at warehouses, Offices and
stores. Depot messengers attend to
the delivery of the packages, and one
hundred and twenty storekeepers
along the street car routes act as re-
ceiving agents. In the delivery OF
small parcels, under twenty-eight
pounds, the ordinary street cars are
largely utilized, while heavier par
cells go by special freight cars. The
charges are small, even less than by
the economical parcels post system,
and are fixed according to weight and
distance beginning at four cents.
This express business is the natural
outgrowth of the municipal owner
ship of the street railways, just as
freight service has come to be at
tached to most privately owned sys-
TENS over here that cover territory
beyond the limits of single city.
Apparently Manchester has gone into
the business on large scale and
thoroughly systematized it, making
the small prices possible, the accom-
mediation of the people rather than
money-making being the underlying
motive. If the prices remain low and
the transmission of parcels is prompt,
such a directly personal service as
this will do much to popularize munic-
ipal administration of enterprises
usually within the control of private
ownership.

Back to the Stage.

Mrs. Wallace D. Scott, who as the
wife of Roland B. MolineUx, acquitted
in New York after sensational trial
of the murder of Mrs. Kate j. Adams,
came into a great deal OF notoriety,
first on account of the MolineuX trial
and later on account of her South Da,
kota divorce and marriage to her
Sioux Falls attorney, soon will appear
befor the footlights in vaudeville.
Mrs Molineux-Scott has resided in
Sioux Falls nearly three years. Mr..
and Mrs. Scott will depart from Sioux
Falls within day or two for the pur-
pose of making their permanent home
in the east, where Mr.. Scott will en-
gage in the practice OF law. With
their infant son they will proceed to
Long Island, where they will reside
until the cool weather, and where Mrs.
Scott will complete her preparations
for appearing on the stage. 1heir re-
nova to -Iew York is in accordance
with plans formulated some time ago,
but the birth of the child and the dis
posal of the law practice Of Mr.. Scott
delayed their change of residence.
Mrs. Scott is well equipped for her ap-
pearance on the state. She has had
thorough musical training, having for
a period of about ten years taken vocal
lessons from teachers in Boston AMI
New York. During the last few
she has been diligently prepar,
ing herself. Tempting offers have
been renewed to Mrs. Scott at various
times, and in view Of the fact that her
husband is now able to become a resi-
dent of New York, she will appear be-
fore the New York public this season.
Several propositions are being consid-
ered.s

on the Santa Fe railway near Kansas
CITY, had a remarkable premonition of
his death. He lived with his daughter,
Mrs. Thoren, in Brooklyn, but had de-

that he would never reach his desti-

week that he fully made up his mind
to leave u.s. said his son-in-laW.

Sweden IS numerous waterfalls are to
be turned to other uses than giving tour
lists a treat for the eye and after thous-
ands of years Of play they are to be
put to work in earnest. Companies are
being organized to control the water
power and establish electric power sta
tions at several places.
Sydsvenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget
is on the point of being incorporated I'd
and registered. The business of the
company will be to buy real estate and
waterfalls and erect plants for the pro-
duction, distribution, and use of electric
power, and allied branches of business:
The seat If the board of directors! will
be the city Of Halmstad. The minimum
capital stock will be $93s,OOo and the
maximum $2,6S0,0OO. -,
A plan to utilize the waterpower of
the river Lagan has been worked out.
The plan is that the company shall, to
begin with, purchase the unused water:

operation plan includes ten larger places
to which electric power is to be trans
mitted. According to this smaller plan
which is to be carried out first, the
transmissions, with branch lines, will be
1876 miles long and capable of distribu
ting $4,000 horsepower. When com
plete plans have been carried. out tht
last-named figures will be doubled.
For carrying out the small plan, thu
cost is calculated to be $2,76O 400, but
fhe larger system will cost about $1,072,
600 more The specifications for the sun
first mentioned are as follows: For wa
terworks buildings, $911 ,2OO;. for ma
chinery, $4O2,OO for transmission ca
bles and wires, $4S2,OOO, and for reg
$268,O0O. It is intended to make tn
price of the electric power SO low tha
Che same can compete with the cheapes
motive power obtained in any ,othe
manner, and as soon as certain contract
with the communities named have bee,
signed the work can begin. 1t is con

Norway's leadin e men are confident,
that the action of the Norwegian gov

that purpose. 1t is believed that the

While there has been much agitation
in favor Of a republic, it is maintained
by the leading newspapers that the
movement is supported principally by
the socialists, some radical liberals and
a few youthful students. The CONNER
cial bodies of the country, without 0 ex,
ception, the farmers and most OF the
labor organizations, have desired that
all agitation end at once and that a
government be established with as little
change as possible.
The proposition to submit the ques-
tion of the establishment of rePubhc

by a vote of 80 to SO, and from thus
