ELECTRICITY ON RAILROADS.
Experiment Tried in Great Britain
PronliM to 8av in Coat
Some interesting facts concerning
the economy of operating motor-propelled
trains upon the subsidiary and
feeding aectloris of a trunk railroad. Id
comparison with the expense of main
tainlng and working similar linos of
steam locomotives and short trams,
have been furnished by the Taff Valf
Railroad of Great Britain.
The running cost per train mile by
motor car equals 4.18 cents, as com
pared with 10.92 cents by steam loco
motive and four carriages of the or
dinary British type. The cost of re
pair and renewals of the motor car l
much less than that of the other sys
tem, being,-only 2.92 cents per train
mile, as against 12.44 cents for th
steam-ppcpelled train. The wages rep
resent o.M cento In the former case,
nd.94 cents in the latter Instance.
Taken on the whole, therefore, it wii!
be observed that the total cost per train
mile of the motor car works out at only
10.90 cents, while the cost for the kwo
motive and carriages la 30 cents pet
train mile, representing a saving in th
ease of the former of 19.W cents, ot
some 00 per cent cheaper. The econo
my thereby effected is very appreci
able, and represents quite a consider
able, sum in the course of a year's oper
ation. This result Is highly encourag
ing, ana win teaa to a more ex ten si v
development of the motor-car system
of handling short-distance traffic
AJready jtexeraj of the other trunk
railroads of the country, Impressed
with the figures obtained by the Taff
Vale Railroad, are completing arrange
ment for the introduction of motor-
propelled coaches upon their systems In
those aecrJona where the capacity ot
the traffic does not sufficiently warrant
the employment of a locomotive and
train, and wherein the working of thi
latter at present represents a heavy

The FaaclnattiiK Vanity Caae.
Even if she Is not vain, there Is
something fascinating to a woman
about the new Vanity cases. Unsus

see at a glance that they were much
larger than the ordinary case for cards.
The Vanity case has all things for
the vain, and Its convenient to own
even If you do not happen to be vatn.
It holds a puff and a small quantity of
powder, as well as a little box of hair-

part ot it, and the rest may be an

How to Re Happy.
Many of us miss the joys that
might be ours by keeping our eyes Ax
ed on those of other people. No on
can enjoy bis own opportunities foi
happiness while he is envious of an
other's. We lose a great deal of tht
joy of living by not cheerfully ac
cepting the small pleasures that come
to us every day. instead of longing
and wishing for what belongs to
others. We do not take any pleasure
In our own modest borse and car
riage, because we long for the automo
bile or victoria that some one else
owns. The edge Is taken off the en
joyment of our own little home be
cause we are watching the palatial
residence of our neighbor. We can
gyt no satisfaction out of a trolley
ride into the country or a sail on a
river steamer, because some one else,
can eujoy the luxury of his own car
riage or yacht. Life bis lis full meas
ure of happiness for every one of us,
If we would only make up our minds
to make the most of every opportunity
that comes our way. Instead of long
ing for the things that come our neigh
bor's way. Success.
