change in trolley service as great
as that when electrics supplanted horse
ears will soon be witnessed by Massa-
Chusetts people. Boston to Chicago By
trolley express is no longer a dream.
The plans have already been made and
the rights secured by Vanderbilt inter
ESts. Luxurious trolley smokers, sleep
Crs and parlor cars are a certainty.
The Vanderbilt-Andrews syndicate,
now controlling lines along the New
York Central railroad, are to make all
this possible. With substantial road
beds, built mostly on private property,
where passengers will be free from dust,
the running Of through palace cars,
having toilets, Bullets, observation
ends, the new assured line from the
lakes to the coast means a partial
transcontinental line of nearly 1000
miles.
In comparison with many of the new
movements in railroad circles of the
new century the proposed through line
is pronounced by leading railroad men
as one Of the most ambitious, astound-
Ing and far-reaching trolley enterprises
ever proposed.
Many of the links in the great troll
ley scheme are already built, but to
complete the necessary lines for the
project and to acquire those that will
be necessary for the operation Of the
entire route means the expenditure Of
scores of millions of dollars in the i'm
mediate future. Competition in the
Eastern States, along the lake fronts
and throughout the Middle West,
where the trolley has cut into the
profits of the great trunk lines, it Is
said, has driven the great magnates of
the passenger systems to protect them
selves by absorbing the links in the
broken chain Of lines already built.
An expenditure Of $10,000,000 has
given the Vanderbilt interests the last
link in the Mohawk Valley system of
New York State and the full owner
ship Of an express line from Albany
to Niagara Falls through Schenectady,
Utica, Syracuse and Rochester to the
falls.

Meanwhile the members of the syndi-
cate are arranging to secure the abso-
lutte ownership or control Of the con-
Meeting long-distance and so-called
''limlted" lines by way of Cleveland,
Toledo and Detroit, so that the COM
MERGE and traffic to the latter city may
be brought to Toledo and then sent
across the prairies by way of Pioneer,
Elkhart and Niles to Chicago, the me-
tropolis of the Middle West.
Along the contemplated route it is
believed that trains could be run az
speeds varying from twenty to twenty
five miles an hour in Massachusetts,
west of Springfield, and at varying
speeds UP to fifty miles an hour in the
more Western States, where much Of
the line would be along private way,
which would allow for the adoption of
the thirdrail method of propulsion.
In order that the scheme in all its
detail may be carried out in perfection,
as far as the comforts of travelling are
concerned, it is believed that the prof.
ect will mean the investment Of $780,
100000 or more, as at the present time
this limited lines of the Middle West
are conducted on a plane Of comfort
and elegance that fairly rival and in
some respects for comfort in travelling
surpass the accommodation provided
on the Chicago flyers.
Tie longest through line now being
operated which the syndicate will make
a part of its through route is the line
from Toledo to Cleveland, 11S miles
without change, for which the fare Is
$3.50, this being only a little less than
half what the steam road charges. At
another point near Akron, Ohio, there
is main line being operated over
sixty miles Of track with sixty-foot
cars using 300 horse power moters. AS
the larger part of this road is over q
private right of way, laid with seventy
pound rails and is well ballasted, a
speed of forty-fve miles an hour is reg
ularly maintained. The cars used on
this service have a baggage compart-
ment and smoking room similar to
those in Pullman sleeper.

Worship Of Nature.

The harp at Natures advent strung
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died away.
And prayer is made, and praise is given
By all things near and far;
The ocean looketh up to heaven
And mirrors every star.
The green earth sends her incense up
From many a mountain shrine;
From the folded leaf and dewy cup
She pours her sacred wine.
The mists above the morning rills
Rise white as wings of prayer;
The altar curtains of the hills
Are sunsets purple air.
The blue sky is the temples arch,
Its transept earth and air,
The music of its starry march
The chorus of prayer.

nected in some way with catching
cold" If people were observant enough
there would not be so much ignorance
and Indifference in regard to this mat
ter. A cold" is named from it's cause
and not its nature. 1t is produced by
cold, but is itself a fever. Cold air is
applied to some part Of the body, driv-
ing the blood inward and producing
congestion. When congestion has ex-
listed q short time it becomes inf1am-
nation, and Inflammation, If it is not
checked, produces suppuration. The
throat and lungs are particularly eX-
posed to such q process, and there are
few roads more direct from perfect
health to the mOrgue than a cold on
the lungs. Calling it pneumonia digni-
fieS it, but does not cure it, The most
important thing to remember about
catching cold is that it always occurs
when the circulation is retarded and
generally when the body is at rest
When the circulation is brisk through
exercise it is difficult for the blood to
tarry anywhere, but when it is barely
creeping through the veins a blast Of
cold wind will bring it to a stand and
may close up the avenues of escape
That means death. Colds are almost
always caught indoors. It is true q
person who goes out in the open air
without his usual clothing or who heats
his body by outdoor exercise and then
stands still in q cold wind may catch
cold, but the favorite and regulation
method is to sit motionless in a warm
apartment and let a jet Of cold air play
on some limited portion Of the body.
That portion will then be put out Of
business. Though a cold is easily
caught, 1t is next to impossible to cure
It. 1t is to be feared that the physi-
clans themselves do not fully under
stand it. Common sense would dictate
that as 1t is produced by irregularity
In the temperature Of the body one con-
d1t1on Of recovery is absolutely and I'M
changing physical comfort. A man
with cold Is more sensitive to Their
NAL changes than the most delicate
thermometer. He needs to DE comfort
able and to be completely delivered
from drafts and atmospheric changes.
On this principle Gladstone, when he
had taken cold, always went to bed
and stayed there until he was we'll
again. One Of the best methods Of
avoiding colds is to accustom the body
to a moderate temperature, and If a
person is unalterably bent on patroniz-
ing the funeral director he should over
clothe himself. He should provide a
nice fur-lined overcoat, a heavy silk
scarf for the neck, fannel-lined ear
muffs and arctic overshoes. Then the
first time he gets too warm and re-
moves some Of this toggery there will
be a funeral.

The Champion r,aIker.

Littlefeld, Of Maine, is the cham

off his words faster than an auc-
tioneer calling for bids and in very
much the same manner. When inter-

way of emphasizing his word syl-
liable by syllable and with each syl-
liable he snaps his head forward as If
to break his own neck. For instance: :
''The Presidents power is soup
ream." When he said that the other
day he nearly cracked the desk in
front of him with his head when he
said "soup" and again when he said
cream"
