EARNING A BIG SALARY.
Story Told About General Manager
Frank HedIey, of the marlborough.

Frank Hedley, of the marlborough.
GLOW does a high salaried man
earn his pay?" asks a writer in Sys-
tenn, and proceeds to answer his own
question with the following incident:
Some time ago Frank HeGley, the
general manager of the marlborough.
was waiting on a subway station
platform. A train drew in with the
power on, reached the stop signal and
came to a sudden halt, jolting the
passengers and straining the machin-
cry. The incident gave him an idea.
HE went to a manufacturer OF
time clocks and gave an order for an
experimental timepiece that would re-
cord elapsed time during which cleo
trio power was being used by the In
te%rborough trains. The manufacture
er in due time produced a small de-
vice that could be attached to the
mechanismsin the motorman's box in
such a way that the power could be
turned on only after the time clock
had been unlocked by the motorman's
special key and the clock set in oper-
alton.
when the power was shut off the
clock would record the exact moment.
BY this means the exact number or
hours, minutes and seconds, during
which that motorman consumed cleo
trio current was automatically re-
corded and a special device printed
the total elapsed time during the
days run.
1.-THE device was attached to the
motormen's control boxes in all the
trains on one line and experimental
with for a month. Instructions were
issued to the motOrmen to coast into
the stations by turning off the power
as far distant from the stopping place
as possible and come to a gradual halt
after running some rods by the force
| of momentum. Rewards were offered
to the men whose records showed the
most economical use of electric power.
AT the end of the month the engi-
neer Of the line reported a reduction
of over fifteen per cent, in the power
consumed. The individual records of
the men showed a reduction ranging
from ten per cent. to forty per cent.
over the amount of power used pre-
viously. Time clocks have been or
dered for the other I~nterborough
lines.
at may be assumed that the anne
saving in power will be effected. The
Interborough's annual coal bill for
producing electric current is s2,S00.-
OOO.' A saving Of fifteen per cent.
means a saving of $294,00O a year on
this item alone to say nothing OF the
saving on wear and tear of machinery.
The sum is considerably larger than

Rewards Of Toll.

There is a time in every mans edu-
cation when he arrives at the convic-
ton that envy is ignorance; that imi-
tation is suicide; that he must take
himself for better, for worse, rs his
portion; that, though the wide uni
verse is full of good, no kernel of
nourishing corn comes to him but
through his toll bestowed on that
plat of ground which is given him to
till. The power which resides in him
is new in nature, and nom but he

Speaking Of Divorce.

"Love is the caprice Of chance en-
counter, the result of propinquity, the
invention of poets and novelists, the
superstition OF the victims. the I'M
scrupulous make-believe of the wit
nesses. As an impulse it quickly
wears itself out in marriage, and
makes way for divorce. In this coun-
try nine-tenths of the marriages are
Iove-matches. The old motives which
delay and prevent marriage in other
countries. a~ristocratic countries, like
questions of rank and descent, even OF
money. do not exist. Yet this is the
land of unhappy unions beyond all
other lands. the very nome of divorce.
The conditions Of marriage are ideal
ly favorable according to the opinions
of it's friends, who are all more or
less active in bottling husbands and
wives up in it's felicity, and prevent
ing their escape through divorce.
Now. I am an enemy of divorce, too;
but I would have it begin before mar

bachelor alone had the hardihood to
suggest.
"Not at all. I am quite literal. I
would have it begin with the engage
ment.. I would have the betrothed-
the mistress and the lover-come be-
fore the magistrate or the minister,
and declare their motives in wishing
to marry, and then I would have him
reason with them, and represent that

Brides Share Of o Wedding.

Often there seems doubt in the
minds of a young couple to be mar
ried as to which expenses fall upon
the bride and which upon the bride

The bride pays for the invitations and
,he announcement cards, for the we'd
ding breakfast, all expenses of the re-
ception, the carriages for the brides
maids, the decorations of the church
and the gifts to bridesmaids.
The bridegroom pays for his own
carriage in which goes his best man,
for the wedding ring, the license, the
gifts to the ushers and gives a fee to
the minister, the organist and the sex
ton. He does not pay for the ushers
gloves or ties, nor does he send car
riages to bring themto church.-Phil-
