The Car i'm Proverbs.

"The proverbs of Russia" said
red. or revolutionist. show the peo-
ple's opinion OF the Car. Some OF
our proverbs are very old. They all
indicate that Cars, from the earliest
times, have been alike.
The red then recited bitterly the
following Russian proverbs:
Even n cancerous Car is pro-
nounced healthy"
when Car writes verses-woe
to the poets"
THE crown does not preserve the
Car from headache"
"A tear in the Cars eye costs the
country a good many pocket hand
kerchiefs."
IF the Car presents you with an
egg. a fowl is expected in return"

disease. New Orleans Times-Dem-

Sugar Statistics.

The consumption of sugar in tho
United States is increasing rapidly,
more rapidly than is the production.
During the year just ended we used
the enormous amount Of $500, ,000,"
900 pounds Of sugar, worth $780,
100000 If each citizen got his fair
share, during the twelve months he
consumed seventy-siX pounds. OF
this sugar only one-fifth was pro-
duced in the United States; one-flfth
came from the island possessions, and
three-fifths was imported from for
eign countries. OF the American pro-
duced sugar, a little over half was
from the sugar beet, the remainder
from cane. This is the first time the
beet sugar has exceeded in quantity
that manufactured from sugar cane.
During the last ten years the increase
in the consumption of sugar has been
three times as great as the increased
domestic production.

THE FOOL AND THE WISE MAN.
Eoth Arrive at the Garden of the
, Beautiful Woman.


Once upon n time, a fool started
out on journey. At first he was
very happy and sang merrily as he
skipped along, rejoicing with the
birds and butterflies that flew among
the flowers that bordered the way.
Much TO his surprise, as he journeyed
farther and farther, the flowers and
trees gave way TO rocks and thorns,
the breezes were no longer cooling,
and the sun beat down mercilessly
upon him. The fool was hungry,
thirsty, and tired. The sharp stones
cut his feet and he was very miser-
able.
As he was plodding along with
hanging head he heard welcome
sound of falling water, and turning
his head to see whence it came, he
saw not far from the road spacious
garden, full Of trees and fountains.
He turned from the path, and going
to the gate Of the garden pressed his
face against the bars and peered in.
Seated in the midst Of the garden,
upon marble bench. was beauti-
full woman, who beckoned with her
hand, and called to him bidding him
enter.
The weary fool placed his hand
upon the latch and was about to obey
her summons. when a wise man ap-
reared upon the road, who called to
the fool and said, Friend, do you
know where you are goinS?' The
fool replied that he did not, where
upon the wise man spoke as follows:
THAT garden. which you are about
to enter, is the home of the beautiful
woman whom you see seated upon
the bench. Her name is Sin. She
offers YOU rest and refreshment. III
you enter, she will show you pleas
ures of which you have never
dreamed, but beware, as she Will
take your soul as payment for her
services"
Now his soul was something that
the fool was wont to set great store
by, so he returned to the highway
still longing for the pleasures OF the
garden, but considering the price too
great. The road seemed hotter and
rougher than before, and to make
matters worse, he was constantly tor
mented by the remembrance of the
garden with its trees and fountains.
At last he could stand 1t no longer.
He quickly retraced his steps, and be-
fore long stood once more at the
gate OF the garden. This time he did
not hesitate. but opened the gate
and entered. The beautiful woman
was still seated on the bench, and at
her feet the fool saw the wise man.

POSSIBILITIES OF THE TROLLEY.
Strategy Proposed For the Conquest
of the Suburban Traffic.

Transportation by trolley has gone
through three stages, and will in due
time enter upon fourth. The first
of these was the intra-urban traffic,
in which passengers were carried
from place to place within the same
city. The second stage was that OF
suburban traffic, which became neces-
sary with the growth of outlying dis
tricts adjacent to the cities in which
the lines had been laid. The third
stage was the inter-urban traffic, be-
gun originally to connect nearby cit
les, such as Minneapolis and st. Paul,
and gradually extending further and
further until cities Of the first rank,
such as New York and Boston, were
connected by continuous lines. Pro-
jects are now under way to unite
many more Of the larger cities north
of the Potomac and Ohio in a net
work Of trolley connections. More
progress has been made in the Cen
trail West in this phase of develop
ment than anywhere else in the coun-
try, with the possible exception OF
New England.
The fourth stage might be de-
scribed as that Of the trunk line.
Within the last few days an an
nouncement has been made of pro-
posed air line electric route between
New York and Chicago, reduced TO
distance of 742 miles, the run to be
made in ten hours. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad line between Chicago
and New York is 912 miles. The
electric air line route would thus cut
off 10 miles, or 1876 per cent. of
the steam road distance.
Assuming that an electric trunk
line between Chicago and New York
is financially and otherwise practica-
Bile, and this is open to question, the
strategic value of such a project is
such as possibly to have a far reach.

be accepted as finality. The probable
effect of electric line construction on
railway rates would not only be
found to influence through freights,
but might be still more marked in its
effect upon local freight rates. This
is doubtless a far look ahead. but
the development of electric power has
been so rapid and marvellous that its
possible future growth becomes
subject of fascinating interest-The

Although the production Of crude
petroleum in America is making en-
ormous strides every year, the bulk
of this comes from new territories
which yield heavy oils containing
little or no spirit. In fact, the fields
which have in the past supplied the
high-class Illuminating oils are, it is
said. failing, so much so that the CEN
tire Of production is no longer in the
Eastern States, but lies equally be-
tween the Gulf States and California.
Recent work in the mid-continental
fields shows. however, that there is
prospect of the supply of highgrade
oils being increased ed.-ERgineering.

The isthmus of Tehuantepec is sit
uated in the southern portion OF
Mexico, in the States OF Oaxaca and
Vera Cruz. From ocean to ocean the
distance is 1875 miles. Considering
the fact that the Sierra Madre Noun

territory is comparatively level.
