Baby's Future Clear.

Samuel A. Thompson, secretary OF
the Rivers and Harbors congress,
while lecturing before the fruit and
produce exchange, told the following
anecdote:
Among a certain people" he said,
ut used to be the custom to test the
future of baby by placing before
him a coin, a Bible, piece of cloth
and several other articles. The ar
ticle which the baby grabbed was sup
posed to indicate it's future calling.
Thus, if he grabbed the Bible he
would be a preacher, if the money he
would be a business man, If the cloth
tailor, etc.
Once, when proud father was try
ing out this test the baby snatched the
Bible in one hand, the coin in the 9TH
err, the piece of cloth in his teeth and
began to try to gather in all the rest
with his arms.
"Mein Gott!' cried the man, he
grabs everything in sight. He's going
to be a railroad man. boston TraV-

TRYING NEW BAGGAGE CHECK
Device Is Expected Materially to.
Lessen the Number Of Errors and
Complaints.

A new baggage check that lie expect
ed TO lessen the number OF errors and
complaints has just been placed into
the service Of a prominent eastern
railroad.
The duplicate portion Of the new
check is provided with spaces, in
which are printed a number OF the
principal bad order" edition in which
baggage is frequently received for
checking. A check, on being deliver
ed to the passenger, will be perforated
to show whether the piece of baggage
IS trunk, suit case of valise, fiber
case or tool chest. Another perfora-
ton will show the condition in which
the baggage was received at the Of
fee. In this way the duplicate check
will contain a full description Of the
baggage when it was brought to the
company for shipment
The number on the tag portion is
placed at the bottom, while on the du-
plilcate portion it is printed at the
top, so that the two can be easily
matched when the baggage is deliv-
cred.
1t is expected that the new check
will minimize the matching Of num-
bers wrongly and will greatly reduce
the number of claims.-Trade and

The statistics prepared show that
292 bills relating to railroads were

passed by the legislature of Arizona.
Eleven laws relating to the opera

Five states passed total of six laws
relating to headlights and appliances.
Other laws relate to Sunday trains,

Bread important French Diet.

1t is necessary to note that bread
occupies a much more important
place in the dietary of the French OPP
erative and peasant than among work
ing people in the United States. Here
prepared cereals and homemade
breads are rather the exception. and
the local pain de MENACE occupies a.
leading place at every meal. The or
deal of bread famines in past genera
tons, often caused by poor means of
communication between the famine
districts and others where grain was
abundant, seems still to have its effect
in the demand of the French proleta-
riat for bread at low price under
all circumstances.

JOAN OF ARC IN THE SERVIAN ARMY

Servia has given the world an
other Joan of Arc. Molly Pitcher, or
Barbara Frietchie; another woman
whose name perhaps will ring
through the poetry and patriotism of
all time when the war that now is
rending Europe is ended.
Her name is Sophia Yovanovitsch,
and when some Serb historian rises
to tell the story of the struggle of
the little kingdom against the Turk
the name of Sophia will become
household word in the Balkans
When the war cloud that has how
cred for twenty years over the Bal
kans broke and little Servia sprang
to arms, Sophia was one of the most
ardent patriots. There were three
young men avowedly suitors for her
hand, and to each of them she gave
the same order-not to ask her to
marry them or to seek her love un-
til they had volunteered and proved
their worthiness by serving the
country as soldiers In the army.

separately. Ii is said 557 locomotives
will be used with $50 passenger coach
es and 29 repair cars. When two or
more locomotives are coupled to the
same train, as circumstances demand,
these will be operated by one man
by means of simplified multiple-unit
system. The assertion is made that
experience gained with electric loco
motives in Germany shows that main
tenance costs are below those of motor
coaches. The locomotive has large
hauling powers and one such engine
can therefore take the place of many
motor coaches. Added to this, the
motors and other electrical gear are
very accessible, which is an impor-
tant item from the point of cleaning
and repairs. 1t also appears that
since the motors of electric locomo-
tives are spring borne and placed high
up in the body, there is less noise and
vibration, as compared with motor
coaches, and that they do less damage
to the track During the busiest hours
of the day, when the traffic is heaviest,
the trains will be made up of Is six
wheel coaches, which will be propelled
by two locomotives, one at each end
of the train. At other times, when the
railway is less busy, the trains will
consist of five or eight cars, which
will be coupled to a single locomotive.
Trains made up in this manner can be
driven from either end by fitting the
last coach with ontroller.-Popular

that nearly all wars had been due to

was to celebrate the wisdom which
had ended war and avoided any sub
sequent conflict, rather than the want
of skill and wisdom which made war
possible.

had been accomplished during his
official stay in Washington to remove
differences between the United States
and Great Britain, and to avoid diff
