FIRST THINGS

The first electric railway in America was inaugurated in Kansas City. Mo, cemotives were the subject of experi- ments as early as 1885, when crude electric engines were tried at Bran don Vt, and Aberdeen, Scotland. The first real trolley line was built in Ber- lin in 1879. The Kansas City line, the first in the New World, was opened Sept: 1, 1884, and was speedily followed timore and Toronto.

Ravel seemed on the verge of success, when the Franco-Prussian war broke out and upset all his plans for the time. Later he built several motor cars in which petroleum was used for the direct gen eration of motive power. by burning it under special conditions in connec-

SAYS FARMERS WILL HAVE
 TO PAYP THEIR HELP MORE

A contributor to the current issue of Farm and Preside, says that the have to increase the wages of their help Following in an extract:
 There is one phase of the question that the farmers rarely touch on in speaking of farm-Iabor difficulties and that is the wage problem. Back as far as 1870 farmers were paying about as much for hired men as they are now, yet nobody ever seems to take into consideration the fact that if better wages were paid young men might be attracted to the farms.
 f'In my childhood neighbOr of ouS who needed a man the year around, paid a young capable farmer one doi- lar per day, furnished him house. rent, fuel, chickens. COW. pig ana garden, and considered himself fortunate to have him. That is about as much as the married laborer can for holidays and stormy per1ods 5 when there is only the feeding on hand: Personally I know of graduates of agricultural schools being offered onIy twenty-five dollars and board per month, the same wages paid to untrained and untaught workers. On dent( not an agricultural student) worked last summer for twenty dol lars per month and board, and was well pleased to get It. To be sure, he was only a boy, and boy with several fingers off one hand, which rather handicapped him, but he was
 
 set his own price and said he never earned that much before. In my childhod my father paid man twen- ty dollars per month and kept a horse for him, putting up with Vari- ous tribu1ations in the way of much running to town and staying out nights. Careful inquiry among our neighbors revealed the fact that twen- ty dollars per month is considered a fair price for a young and inex- perienced farmland, with one dol lar per day on working days for a grown man.
 Now two hundred and forty dol lars per year doesn't look very attrac- tive to the average youth, even if Iiv- ing is thrown in. The time was when a young man could pay atten- ton to a young lady without very much expense, but that time is past. Entertainments, suppers, lectures and all forms of amusement have doubled in price, but the wages hsLNe%F enlain- ed stationary. And when the young man begins to think of setting up q home of his own, what he do with the savings of two hundred and forty dollars per year? It is no wonder the sons of farmers take to town as soon as they are old enough to work

 "We will travel until day, Jan Tho reau,'' he informed himself, and then, If nothing turns up, we will build our last camp and eat the flour. It will be the last of us, for there will be no meat above this snow for days"
 His snowshoes were an impeachment now, and he left them behind along with one of his two blankets, which had grown to be like lead upon his shoulders. He counted his cartridges ten of them. One of these he fired into the air.
 Was that an echo he heard?
 A sudden thrill shot through him. He strained his ears to catch a repeti- ton of the sound. In a moment it came again-clearly no echo this time. The shot came from just over the mountain.

 Dixon sat up, glazed passion fill ing his eyes. He drank the hot tea greedily and as greediIy ate the boiled flour pudding. Jan watched him hun grily until the last crumb of it was gone. He refilled the pails with snow, added more tea and then rejoined the Englishman- New life was already shining in Dixon's eyes.

V VAST deep in the light snow,
 M Jan began the ascent, drag wv ging himself up by the tops
 of the slender sap1ings, stop ping every few yards to half stretch himself out in the soft mass through which he was struggling, panting with exhaustion. He shouted when he gain ed the top of the ridge. Up through the white blur of snow on the other side there came to him faintly a shout; yet, in spite of it's faintness, Jan knew that it was very near.
 Something has happened to Ledoq,' g he told himself, 'sbut he surely has food, and we can live it out until the storm is over."
 It was easier going down the ridge, and he went quickly in the direction from which the voice had come, until a mass of huge powders 1oomed up be- fore him. There was a faint odor of smoke in the air, and he followed it in among the rocks. where it grew s*rongef.
 "Ho, LedOq!" he shouted.
 A voice replied dozen yards away. Slowly, as he advanced, he made out the dim shadow of life in the white gloom-a bit of smoke climbing weak 1y in the storm, the black opening of a brush shelter-and then, between the opening and the spiral of smoke, Hv- ing thing that came creeping toward him on all fours, like an animal
 He plunged toward it and the shad- ow staggered upward and would have fallen had it not been for the support of the deep snow. Another step, and a sharp cry fell from Jan's lips. It was not Ledoq, but Dixon, who stood there with white, starved face and staring eyes in the snow gloomi
 My God, I am starving-and dying for drink of water!" gasped the Eng dshman chokingly, thrusting out his arms. '"Thoreau, God be praised''-
 He staggered and fell in the snow. Jan dragged him back to the shelter.
 "I will have water for you-and something to eat-very soon,'' he said.
 His voice sounded unreal. There was mistiness before his eyes which was not caused by the storm. He suspend ed his two small pails over the em- bers, which he coaxed into a blaze.

Breaches on Marriage

Paris. March 30-(SpecisL )-Before a fashionable audience in which women largely predominated, Mgr. Bolo, the Paris preacher, has begun a series of lectures on "The Marriages of Tomor- row" The savagery of the French revo- lution. he said, had abolished the old politeness of France. Since the revolu- tion masculine decadence had become &C., centuated. "The poor Troglodyte who lived in the stone age and had a vague presentiment of the existence of a Su- preme Being was more of a man than the modern boulevadier, who has his linen washed in London, who is fed in the quarter of the opera, and who disputes trifles with an animal, which shall be name1ess." Mgr Bolo sought to show that the decrease in marriage, the marriage strike,' as he called it, was due to the generation of man as shown by the want of manners, the ignorance. the irreligion, the increase of crime and drunkenness prevalent today. Men were afraid to assume the burden of marriage.
