Portable Railways.
"Portable railways of a new type will
assuredly be among the leading features
of the next war," says the &t. James Ga
zette. "The latest invention in this line
is the idea of an Austrian engineer, Heir
Leinwathcr. His rails are said to be the
best of the kind ever made, being especi
ally good over uneven ground. The
Austrian War Office has ordered a small
supply, and will make a trial of the rail
way at once. Germany has also asked
Herr Leinwather for samples both of his
rails and wagons. Generally speaking.
one system of railway is as easy to
work as another; the only difficulty being
to manufacture the material in time. A
Berlin paper the other day endeavored to
make out that the ntt-work of German
railways on the eastern frontier was de
signed purely for commercial and not for
strategical purposes. Itjshould have been
added that portable railways Herr Lein
wather's and the systems already in ex
istence would go far to supply what is
wanting even for offensive measures. No
nation has been quicker to utilize the lo
comotive for operations of war than Ger
many."

And even summer winds are chill and drear

The old glad songs breathe out a sad refrain
And laughter sobs with bittar, hidden pain.

Untouched the pillow that her dear head pressed
My lonely heart hath nowhere for its rest.

Notice of
liirls of America.
A foreign born gentleman who had
traveled the earth over told me that
American girls were in every respect the
most charming and agreeable in the
world. He did not like American men ;
quite naturally he considered them infe
rior to foreign born gentlemen. They an
noyed him by talking trade, and as for
their habits, lie referred me to the con
dition of public stairways and convey
ances of travel.
"It is declared that the Englishman
never steps across his threshold without
his umbrella," he said. "Well, the
American ought never to go over his por
tal unaccompanied by his cuspadoro, for
the sake of decency. But American eirls
they are divine. The most beautiful.

ing, the best dressed, the most original

More Democratic Reform-

Telegram to the Bee. The Democrat of
this place has lately been making it very
warm for Dr. J. M. Slicker, late demo

University, charging him with being mi
imposter.and unauthorized as a physician.
The doctor has now departed for parts
unknown, and the general belief is that
he will not rcturu, as it is said he has left
unpaid bills to the amount of over $ 500.
