SoME MODERN PROGRESS.

"We are living, we are moving, in a grand and awful time" says the poet, and the poet says right. And it is worth while to stop moving a minute or two and notice that there are many people in this country still living and I moving who can remember the initial run of the first successful railroad train here. It was run on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and the seventy-fffth an- lniversary of the wonderful event has just been celebrated. On the twenty eighth of August, 1S3O Peter Coopers diminutive engine drew a brigade of cars" from Baltimore to Ellicott's Mills and back, travelling at the rate of twelve miles an hour and numbering the famous Charles Carroll, of Carroll ton, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, among the passengers. From this modest be- ginning has developed the great Ameri- can railroad system, the greatest in the world, with it's two hundred thousand miles of track, fifty thousand locomo- tives and innumerable cars. The tiny Cooper locomotive had traction ca- pacity of only a few tons, and looked like stationary engine set n a truck. Placed side by side with a modern lo- comotive capable of drawing hundred freight cars, not one of which it could have moved without difficulty for any considerable distance, it would be a sight.
 Great is modern progress, and great is the United States. Also President Roosevelt.

THE rALLEsr HOTEL sroRT.

These are tall times For instance, Mortimer c. Merritt, a New York arch- itect, announces that Albert J. Adams, who was convicted and imprisoned for running policy shops, is at the head of syndicate which intends to erect a hotel of forty-two stories between Sixth and Seventh avenues, and from Thirty second to Thirty-third streets, site contiguous to the new Pennsylvania railroad depot. The hotel it is repre- scented, will have accommodations for 2,2Oo guests; 800 single rooms and baths. roof garden. a Turkish bath, and a swimming pool seventy-fve feet long and twenty-five feet wide, are among the features planned.
 Good. The Babel builders were pun ished by confusion of speech. Perhaps Al Adams, having been in Sing Sing, thinks he has had his punishment.

ins have been employed mainly because
 infection takes place not only once and
 where the infectious matter continues
 to develop in the body, but that for the duration of several weeks the poison floats to the patient without interrup- tion.
 He recommends the use of special
 antitoxtn, and says that he has no de- sire for another remedy, for a more simple application can hardly be found. Even where the nasal canals are entire ly closed relief can be obtained by the use of this antitoxin. If a small ball of cotton sprinkled with the antitoxin is introduced into the nasal canal mostly affected it can be perfectly free again in the course of half an hour, and then the treatment can be applied to the other side. It appears to be very judi cious during the worst days of the hay fever to so2the the mucous membranes of the nasal canals and to treat them prophylactically by alternately closing the nasal canals by means of cotton"

The initiative and referendum is, or are, taking nap just now, but muni- cipal ownership of public utilities is still working. Those who are interest," ed in 1t may perhaps learn something from some remarks by W. J. Sowdon, editor and proprietor of the Adelaide (South Australia) Register, Journal and Observer, who is a commissioner of his government sent here and to other countries. MT. Sowdon is a member of the Board of Governors of the National Public Library, Museum and Art Gallery Com mission. He is also president of the na- tional reform political organization. We have had a sad experience with government ownership says Mir. Sow don. Nearly all of our public utilities are administered by government, with the result that politics dominate them and the public service is wofully mis- administered. Not all of the tramways are in the hands of the government, but with the slovenly example of the gov ernment railroads and government tranways to copy we find ourselves in a sad way. To begin with the service is controlled by the premiers of the va rious provinces, who represent the dom- inant political parties and run the rail- roads largely as personal political prop erties The roads do not pay proerly, the tariffs on passengers and goods are high compared with yours, and the em- ployes, having life posts, are not amen- able to discipline or to public senti- ment.
 Of course the United States is not Australia, and we are smarter than all the rest of the world, except possibly few of the Japanese. But perhaps we are not smart enough to go successful ly into government ownership.

ONE MORE CURE.

This one is for hay fever. Professor
 W. F. Dunbar, director of the State
 Hygienic Institute at Hamburg, Ger many, holds that the argument that
 grains of pollen could not be the cause
 of hay fever because too few were con- tained in the atmosphere is disproved
 by his experiments with toxin solution, where he found that a single grain of pollen was sufficient to produce intense irritation with sensitive hay fever pa- tients. He found during the towering time of grasses, a period when hay fever is most prevalent, that there was a very considerable amount of pollen in the air, and this to those subject to hay fever acted as a strong poison. Pro- lessor Dunbar is quoted as saying: q feel justified in stating that the hay fever appearing in the spring is an sociological disease. The same is the case with the American fall hay fever, only in this case the cause is found in the pollen of rag weed and golden rod" Professor Dunbar has been experiment. ing in an endeavor to find a specific anti-poison, and he claims to have been successful in this line. He makes the point that hay fever differs from those where so far specific antitox-

It appears that in provincial towns in England the creosoted soft wood pavement has life of from twelve to fifteen years, and hardwoods from fff- teen to eighteen years. At St. Pan- cras. London, where there is traffic of 411.31S tons per yard of width per annum, the greatest wear of the Aus tralian wood jarrah was 0.1S inch, or less than one-fifth-inch per annum. The best woods for paving purposes, Recording to London experience, are the Australian karri and jarrah, while Aus traIian and California gums are said to promise well.

Why is the SteinenOne PianOfOrte Better than any Other on the Market?

Tie advantage in purchasing Stein 'ertone pianoforte does not lie only in the simple fact that it contains every thing that is found in the most per- feet pianofortes or in the standard makes, but it represents 8 new era in pianoforte building and brings the pianoforte up to a state of perfection hitherto not represented in all other first class pianos.~
 Among the many qualities it posses ses the most essential are that it con tains.
 Powerful Tone Capacities,
 Marvellous Tone COIOring,
 UnriValed Repetition of Action,
 Ease Of Touch,
 Delightful Feeling Upon the Key board.
 And, it is. in fact. the pianoforte of the twentieth century.
 These are reasons enough for any purchaser to choose the steinertone not only because it is su- perior to all others, but it is also sold at tho lowest factory prices
 A large assortment of grands of all sizes and upright pianofortes can ba seen Ut the factory warerooms, 106 Park street.

There is "a regular business in Italy of making little wire cages for grass hoppers. The insect is regarded as lucky, and if one can be kept alive in the cage for month it is believed the year will be prosperous. The supersti- ton arose from this incident: A cardi- nal of the Medici family invited bish- op to dine with him in his garden. The cardinal handed the bishop glass of wine. A grasshopper fell from tree into the wine and the bishop did not drink it. The wine was afterward found sto have been poisoned.

Five thousand dollars is about the average cost of dinner in the Turkish Sultan's palace. The meal comprises fifty or more dishes daily and the Sul- tan generally partakes from five or six. Every dish, before 1t reaches the royal table, is tasted in the kitchen by the grand vizier to guard against poison. It is then sealed and taken to the Sultan. The vast cost of these re- pasts comes from the fact that guests and retainers who dine at the Sultan's daily expense number several thousand.
