Why Railways Are Being Electrified


The final arguments for the cleo
trification of a steam railroad are
reduction in operation costs and in
crease of earning capacity Of the
present tracks. There are, of course,
several incidental advantages accru-
ing from the use of electricity as mo-
tive power which are Of considerable
Importance, although it is difficult
to evaluate them in dollars and cents.
In this category we may include
three: First, the smaller wear and
tear on the tracks, structures and
roadbed, due to the absence of the
lateral swaying and vertical hammer
ing caused by partially reciprocating
parts of steam locomotives. Second,
the elimination of smoke, under GER
tain conditions, such as those from
the New York Central tunnel ap-
proach to the New York terminus, is
a very compelling argument, and fur
ther reduces the maintenance Of the
rolling stock by making the neces-
sity of car-body painting and cleaning
less frequent. Third, the greater
facility of train movement; which
results from the simplicity Of con-
troll; the greater readiness for SER
Yice-no tine neeG be consumed in
getting up steam, taking coal, or
cleaning fires; and a greater factor
Of reliability in the locomotive unit,
by the elimination Of fire boiler, high
pressure steam pipes, etc.-EnSil-

"Greek" GOWling.

Greek gowns are what the fashion
makers are seeking, and few women
there are who can carry of the
style. The models sent here from
foremost French houses, notably from
one famous house, are styled "clas-
sical," but the fact is they are mod
ern in every sense of the word. The
skirts have high Wristbands on En-
pire lines, but are fitted as closely
as they can be, and still allow for
any movement of joints under them,
and this Is not Empire and neither
Is it Greek; it is distinctly modern
French. Many of the skirts are un-
trimmed, but large number of them
have tunics, which always have long
lines falling in with the scanty folds
of the skirt. The fashion is for ultra
dressers, women who can afford to
wear an expensive costume a few
times and then abandon it, and they
must have perfect figures.

CHAPTER VII.

1t was early spring when old Non
sieur Rigaud once more returned to
the longed-for repose of what he
called his second life. The country
round about the little town of Goucy
was thickly wooded. There were
large forests in which even now men
hunt wolves, and charcoal burners
huts were often for miles the only
signs of human habitation. Monsieur
Rigaud still clung to the belief that
Goucy remained altogether un-
changed by the waves of civilization
which passed over the world; but the
railway had reached it, and new
spark of life had rekindled in the
little picturesque old town: but civ
ilization had not yet destroyed its
beauty.
Monsieur Rigaud gave a sigh OF
satisfaction as he concluded his bar
gain with G. dilapidated old cart, the
poorest and consequently the cheap.
est he could find, and proceeded tc
drive out to Mon Repos. The dis,
tance was about three miles, the road
passing through the town and finally
plunging quite into the forest coun
try. Monsieur Rigaud had certainly
chosen a solitary spot for his reposa
Mon Repos was large house; a
some long-fcrgotten period it nigh
have been fine old chateau. There
was centre building. with two pro
iecting wings, the space forming ;

Diamonds in Mud.

A little while ago / stood In swona,

Rumes on Skirts.

Last season we had fashion OF

skirts that were raised on the two
sides; now we are setting them on
high in the front, in point, some
reaching as far as the knee, where
they gradually descend to the hem,
covering it in the back. Large drop

What is Needed.

What We need most now is a stur-

inspiration of the Bible. The outcry.

indicate a strange timidity and dis
trust of the power of the Holy Spirit.
A book that claims to be inspired.
protected against honest criticism and
inquiry, will inevitably degenerate.

afraid of bringing Gods work into the,

The Drone.

The Bible is almost as severe,
against the idler as against the Sim,

will not work, neither shall he eat.
The popular idea not long; ago war
that manual labor was not only uns
dignifed, but, in sense, disgracefui.
One who aspired to extreme respecta-
bility must belong to one OF the pro-;
fessional estates-law, clergy, medi.
cine or literature. In some Of the;
countries of Europe to-day tradesmen
are tabooed and restricted and pro-
hibited from entrance to what ts
called polite society. On this conti.i
nent that notion never prevailed, Dar
popular sentiment once decided thar
wealth, idleness and ease were the
conditions of social refinement. Let
US rejoice that that false sentiment
no longer prevails. We have come 10
the time when it is generally accepted
that idleness, whether amongst the
rich, or poor, or the middle class, ts g.
disgrace. We have come to believe
that the man or woman who WORKS.
honorably and earnestly is deserving
Of respect in whatever field the WORK
lies.

reverence are the tests of character.
