FIRST ELECTRIC RAILWAY.


Twenty-one years ago the world s
first electric railway was opened be-
tween Baltimore and Hampden. Cleve-
land capitalists at once began to sit
up and take notice. Ten years after
the world s first trolley line had been
opened, Cleveland had sent streaks of
rust and ribbons of copper wire radiat
ing out in every possible direction.
within thirty miles of the
city was approached by trolley from
Monument Square. 1t paid! 1t paid
well! Comparatively poor men in Cleve
land became trolley magnates and were
soon looked upon as millionaires. Peo
pie came to them to invest their money
in new trolley lines. They did so.
Every city of any size in Ohio was
made the center of radlating lines of
electric railway. Everyone had money
invested, and the State Legislature did
not dare obey all the dictates of the

Their Generosity.
The gentle kaffir when he does be-

OF the best method OF raising funds
for the support OF the cause From
the subjoiacd description of a native
meeting sent home by a missionary il
would appear that native generosity.
although of rough and tumble char
acter, is distinctly productive of waye
and means:
Recently I attended a native tea
meeting, at which more than ZIP was
raised by this very poor congregation
Their way of doing 1t was characters
tic and amusing. They paid shiiling5
to sit down to tea. Then some one
would pay shillings for such and
such a man to be required to get up
again and leave the table. The man
thus assailed would pay 3s. Cd. for
leave to sit down again. There was
special table at which six could sit,
paying an extra shilling each for the
privilege. They had just got seated
when man paid shillings to clear
them out, and they paid another shil-
lings to sit on, and so IL went on. They
arrange all this themselves, and this Is
their way of giving to the cause. One
man had a tin of strip. He said he
would pay shillings to pour 1t over
another mans head who had got him
self up well In large collar, etc; this
man paid shillings to be let off, the
first man 4 shillings again to do it. the

Famous Emblem That fdorns the
Massachusetts, Statehouse.
A Goldfish carved in wood hangs on
the white mahogany wall of the Massa-
chusetts hall of representatives in the
statehouse in Boston. Between two
classic pillars it occupies place OF
honor, directly opposite the desk OF
the presiding officer. This wooden fish
is the renowned original sacred Goldfish
Of the Old Colony. and it has assisted
Mt the deliberations of the lawmakers
Of Massachusetts for more than cen
fury and half. gathering sanctity year
by year. 1t is n relic OF the old build
ing which preceded the present state
house and great is the dignity of this
souvenir of colonial art and industry.
The following account OF its origin
is given In Boston paper
Captain John WEIGH of Boston was
the creator and carver of the celebrat
ed fish He was a wood carver OF re
nown for his time and in 1147 estah
lished his business in Dock square. He
belonged to the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery company and afterward be
came it's captain He was called upon
to contribute To the decoration of the
colonial assembly hall. and as at that
period Goldfish was the cOlony's mali
article Of export Captain WEIGH cor
ceived the idea Of immortelizing thf

When completed the carving was hn
ished off and colored so as to be fcf

for three or four days, during which

of Peasant.
Corot's father was a little, dry, thin
old man, whose correct appearance,
precise gestures and short speech were
in singular contrast to the geniality
and iOvial ways of Camille. He was
the typical business man. He wished
his son to 20 into business and appren-
ticed him to a wholesale cloth mer-
chant. Camille. who dreamed only of
painting, conceived a violent aversion
to commerce and seized every oppor-
tunity to escape from the shop and go
up to his room to copy drawings. His
employer was very dissatisfied with
him and complained to his father, who
reprimanded him severely. At last one
day the young man did not 90 to buSi-
ness and told his father that he must
follow his vocation. even if it brought
him misery. Seeing that nothing could
alter this decision, "Very WELL" the
father answered. Il will give you 1900
francs annually-nOt a centime more
and you will make the best you can
of it"
Camille leaped for joy. He imme-
diately made preparations for depar-
ture, left home and installed himself
in the little hamlet of Morvan, at a
farrier's whose numerous family was
crowded into the only room, which
was the forge. Corot there contracted
the habitS of the peasantry, which he
retained ever after. He had no needs,
lived only for his art and found COM
, plete happiness in it.
For a long time Corot remained at
the farrier's. satisfied with the coarse
food. happy in his liberty and feeling
/ rich with his modest allowance. En-
dowed with robust health and being
jovial by nature, he always sang while
he worked, and his gayety never de-
serted him.
At his fathers death Corot found
himself possessed of n revenue Of 40,-
600 francs. but this opulence did not
change his rustic habits. He continued
his simple and laborious life. Always
up before dawn, he putson the peas
ants clothes that he wore all his life,
ate his soup. lit his pipe and with his
box in his hand and his easel or his
shoulder started for his work, his So
norous voice ringing out joyously.-G.
