Adiustinn the Rates.

The stage route from the Boston b
Maine Railroad station at Meredith,
N. H., to Center Harbor and Sand
witch is one of the few remaining links
of the system that formerly extended
all over New England. Forty years
ago John Little, of Laconia, N. H.,
was a driver on this route. One day
fussy individual approached him
with numerous inquiries regarding
the route and wound up by asking the
rates of fare.
well" said John, 1--WE charss 81
for first class, rs cents for second and
so cents for third class passage"
The man looked over the stage and
inquired where the third-class passen-
gers were seated.
"Oh," said John, "sit anywhere; we
don't make any difference about that,
and thinking that he had struck a
country crank, the man paid his 30
cents for third-class passage.
Everything went smoothly until
they reached the foot of one Of the
long hills which extend over nearly
one-half of the distance, when the
driver pulled up with the announce
ment: "First-olass passengers will re-

Twenty-six Tuskegees.

There are at the present time, /
am told, twenty-six schools for me-
groes in the South, which, though not
formally connected in any way with
the Tuskegee Institute, still, either
because they were founded by gradu-
ates of Tuskegee or because their
teaching force has been largely re-
cruited from there. maintain their
allegiance to the Tuskegee tradition,
work in its spirit and extend the
sphere of its usefulness.
Though beyond its gates, Tuske-
gee graduates are never therefore be-
yond sight and influence; it still exer-
cises over them a sort of parochial
control. The Rev. Robert c. Bed
ford, secretary of the Board of Trus-
tees of the Tuskegee Institute, has
recently returned from "a parochial
visit" to graduates and former stu.
dents of Tuskegee. Since October
last he has traversed twelve States,
visited seven institutions conducted
by or with the assistance of Tuske-
gee graduates, and has brought back
detailed reports of more than TWO
hundred former students.
OF these reports those are most in
teresting which come from graduates
who. with a rare devotion and under
difficulties which it is hard for one
not actually on the spot to compre-
bend, have established by their own
efforts independent schools. Nothing
in regard to these younger institu-
tions is more hopeful than the fact
that, in spite of the hardships under
which these schools have been es-
tablished, not one has been compelled
to close its doris, and all have had to
turn students from their doors.-Bos-

FASHION HINTS.

For parasols intended for fete or
carriage wear there are many en-
broidered and hand painted chiffon
and lace applique designs. A beauti'
full example has a Dresden center
with white chiffon shirrings and drap-
ings, and another one of chiffon is
adorned with French medallions.
Taffeta with narrow cord tuckings
and a chiffon ruche on the edge char
acterized a less pretentious parasol.
OF laces there is seemingly no emo,

so we'll made as to be scarcely dis
tinguishable from the hand made va
rieties; especially is this a notewor-
thy fact as regards Irish lace, and

fects characterize many of the new

out the necessity Of increasing It's
initial force. it is evident that an &C
cumulator will be obtained giving
very considerable gain in force and
speed. This is what has been ac-
complished by the invention above
referred to. 1t secures great advan-
tage in economy, and is applicable to
the production Of any kind of work.
In a steam engine the displacement
of the piston necessitates the filling
up at every stroke of an empty space,
while in hydraulic press the volume
of displacement of the large piston
must be filled with an equivalent vol
ume of water. 1t is, therefore, clear
that if the piston of a steam engine
or of hydraulic press could be dis
placed without the need of filling Up
the space created by the displace-
men, the gain would be considerable.
This highly desirable end is obtained
in Corvisiar's patent by the employ
ment of a piston of special construc-
ton, of construction entirely diner
ent from that of any known piston,
the piston not being made OF metal,
but of a pliable and deformal mater
ial, such as a tube, sleeve, or the like,
of rubber, strengthened with layers
or backings of canvas, so as to adapt
1t to withstand high strain. Any
material will serve the purpose, al
ways provided it possesses the COM
bined qualities of pliability and re-
sistancy, and is capable of changing
it's form and returning to it again, &C.
cording to the work effected. 1t is
said that the new motor will soon be
ready to be placed on the British mar
ket. The possibilities of it's useful
ness are stupendous, and it's general
adoption cannot fail to result in an
immense saving to manufacturers IN
every one of the many important in
dustries to which it can be applied.
The invention claims that it is cap
able of performing a twelve hours
continuous work on a consumption OF
$50 gallons of water. Every engin-
eer will be able to judge what a saw
ing is meant by this. The aero-hy-
draulic motor bids fair to supersede
the use of steam power in great
number of cases. thus doing away
with combustion and smoky Chin
neys.

BRUSH TALK.

Among her toilet accessories every
woman must count at least five
brushes as essential to being well
groomed, and there are many women
who have as many eight, and eacn
one is very frequently used. The five
indispensable brushes are for the
hair, nails, teeth. clothes and shoes,
and then can be added soft brush
for the hat, an eyebrow brush and a
camel's hair flesh brush.
1t is not necessary to have them sill
yer backed. The plain-backed ones
are just as effective as long as they
are kept clean. Turtle back ebony is
one of the finest backings in the mar
ket for hair brush. 1t cannot hold
first place for beauty, but its durabil-
ity has no equal.
jewelers. rival one another in their
display of beautifully mounted
brushes. Many are backed with gold
and a few are set with precious
stones. The wealthy women of today
take great pride in their boudoir sets,
and nothing is too elaborate or too
expensive for their dainty sanctums.
Hammered brass studded with old
Egyptian gems in antique designs
makes an odd but very heavy back
ing. Some combs also have this
mounting. The carved ivory brush is
always pretty, and it is the daintiest
of all. There are many women who
prefer this to any other. as the col
orings of their rooms are delicate and
these carry out the effect.-Newark

AN AERo.HYDRAuLlc MOTOR.
An English Device, Said to Be a
Great Saver of Power.

The greatest discovery of the pres
ent age, says the London Iron and
Steel Journal may be described as the
proved fact that force, like matter, is
indestructible, and that it is in the
application of force in its different
forms that invention has found its
evident field of operation. Therefore,
an appliance devised to the economi-
cation force and the full utilization of
every possible atom of energy must
lead to more satisfactory result for
the same expenditure of power than
is possible when a greater or less pro-
portion of the force generated is al
lowed to run to waste.
1t is with this object of avoiding
any such leakage of power that Mr..
Corvisier's patent aero-hydraulic mo-
tor engine has engrossed the skill and
inventive capabilities of the patentee
for period extending over the last
20 years, and as a result he has been
able to produce a motor, which, with
out the aid of fire, steam or electri-
city, will accomplish just thu savins
of energy and full utilization of power
which has long been the desideratam
of those who understand the intrica-
cies Of machinery.
In the ordinary hydraulic press the
small piston travels a relatively long
distance, while the large piston oEiy
moves a short distnace. If, therefore.
by a suitable arrangement of the nee
essary parts the large piston can be
driven through distance practically
equal to that Of the small piston with

FOR THE SUMNER COTTAGE.

The willow porch and cottage fur
niture is unusually attractive this
year. Not only are the designs pleas
ing, but the colors are excellent and
in the greatest variety. Sealing-wax
red enamel is one of the fayor;tes
this season. A set of these red chairs
with round table to match would
be charming for tea on the lawn.
Huge red lawn umbrellas are also to
be had. No other color makes such
good appearance out of doors. The
combination of bright red, the green
of the grass and the varying tones of
the shrubbery and flower beds is
most delightful. Porch furniture in
general-that is, where the establish
ment does not boast an army of serv-
ants-should be waterproof material.
Bamboo is excellent. Porch swings
of this wood are rapidly superseding
the old fashioned hammock, which al
ways had to be taken in when
showers came. The swings are
rather expensive. but they can bs
made at nome for very little, provided
some member of the household is
handy with tools. Waterproof cush-
ions and rugs are now among porch
conveniences.-New York Evening
Post.
