IJOI.Mi AWAY WITH STEAM.
The New York, New Haven & Hurt-
ford railroad company has established
an electric plant on its Plymouth di
vision. This division is twelvo miles
louir and extends from Braintree to
Co'mssat. The motor car is in ap
BTuriinco like a regular combination
baggage atid passengt r car on the
steam roaas, and it draws a long train
of regular steam road coaches. It has
made a speed of eighty milts in hour,
and has pulled a train of cars with a
locomotive at tho other end pulling
against the motor. It receives the
current from a third rail, but it is also
provided with a trolley, to get the
current from above at grade crossings
and at stations. This must be re
garded as an experiment for the pres
eut. But if it should be successful in
operation and not loo expensive it
would deprive summer travel of its
most disagreeable feature, namely.
the nmnkr, nnd mike it a pleni?re. To
o-o it it rapid rate through Iho country
and ')u free to l-avo the win do wo
opon and enjoy the hreezo and the
scenery without fillinr tho oyea and
tho lutigrt with ciiiders, would tempt
many a person to trayol who now
stays at homo. Many believe ihat tho
days of the Hocm locomotive are ntim
bercd. For buburban travel on tho
etoam ro.tds there would seem to bo
no reiiBOu why both dteam and electric
locomotives cannot bu us-dl on the
same track.

Of progress through internal change
other than through extermination.
This may be accomplished by war, by
labor akin to slavery, or by contact
with a higher civilization and its con
sequent disastrous results to the weak

be subdued, they will make unwilling
toilers; if driven out of the larger and
more fertile island?, some form of
labor must take their place. It will
not be American, it will not be Euro
pean, for it cannol be either. It must
be Asiatic; and, if left to a free settle

as applied to the Hawaiian islands
prohibit the introduction of the Chi

Prevalence of the Lying Habit.
uia you ever count up how many
times in the course of a day you tell
a lie, even though you consider your
seir a trutnrui person? You tell a
lie when a friend asks if a new hat is
becoming, when you praise something
your hostess cooks, and when you say
you had a good time, in bidding her
gocd-by. You must lie or offend a
hundred a day, and you naturally pre
fer to lie. Its effects may be as bad as
those of giving offense, but they are
not so apparent. Atchison Globe.

Ocroii Survive Hlf Century.
Fifty years ago a well at Steiner-
vllle, Belmont county, O., was closed
for the reason that It was contamin
ated with typhoid fever germs. Re
cently it was reopened and the water
used, and although the wall was made
deeper than formerly the germs had
remained, and a fever epidemic was
the result. The well has again been
closed.
Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield.Ill. ,
makes the statement, that she caught
cold, which &ettled on her lungs; she
was treated for a month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He told
her she was a hopeless vic'.Im of con
sumption and that no remedy could
cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
inff'8 New Discovery for Consump
tion; she bought a bottle and to her
delight found herself benefitted from
fir9t dose. She continued its use
and after taking six bottles, fouud
herself sound and well; now does net-
own housework, and is as well as she
ever was. Free trial bottles of this

Germ KUIera.
It has been shown by Koch and others
that soap is a microbiclde, or germ
ainer, and, according to Prof. Sera-
n soda r potash soap is quite a good
disinfectant, not only because of the
alkalis, but the combination itself.
Heating the water favors the effect.
Resinous soaps are not the best disin
fectants. Marseilles soap is very good.
A solution of 3 or 4 per cent kills most
resisting microbes.

her lover, who was .seated in the front
row. The choir sat Immediately be
hind the pulpit. The note was given to
the conductor, who handed it to hi
neighbor, who, thinking it was some
thing for the preacher, touched tho
reverend gentleman on the arm and
handed him the hit of paper. The min

at it in amazement, then grew confused,
turned the paper to look at the address,
folded it up carefully and handed It to
the young man for whom it was In
tended, and then struggled for soma
minutes to regain hold of the thread
of the interrupted discourse. Mean
while, two scarlet faces in the choir
told a tale which set the congregation
wondering.
