ported that little had been accomplished nt

laws. The committee vva.s appointed too late
to push bills through , and It vvas thought
best Hint another committee should now
take up itho work. Senators Dundas and
Heal were criticised by their newspaper

relating to printers and pen pushers at the
last session of the legislature.

"I have madrf up my mind that the average -
ago man cannot help lying , " said the ob
servant llttlo woman to a Chicago Post man
"It just comes naturally to him. It Isn't a
eiucatlon of expediency or policy at all , but
Just pure Innblllty to stick to the truth. Ho
lies when the truth would better servo his
purpose. Ho can't help it. Ho lies when
the Ho Is so apparent that n child would
recognize It. And ho lies to his wife more
than to anyone olso.
" 'I couldn't get homo nny earlier , my
dear , ' ho sa > s. 'I was detained at thei ollico
by Important business. '
"It Isn't so. She knows it Isn't so , and ho
knows she knows It. If ho thought she
really believed some of the lies ho tells her
ho would have mighty llttlo rcgnrd for her
Intelligence She knows that he droppc'd in
to the club for n minute on his way homo
nnd BtHjed there longer than ho intended ,
or did something else in that line , nnd that
business had absolutely nothing to do with
his being late. Nevertheless , although ho
has told the same story u dozen times be
fore , the must Binllo and look pleasant and
make no comment upon it.
"What an absurdity ! WhaU Idiocy" If man
was inot a born liar ho would bo actually
ashamed to make such excuses and the half
dozen that nro most used would fall Into
Innocuous desuetude. For , as a matter of
fact , a very few inartistic and unattractive
lies are mnelo to do moro than nine-tenths
of the work. They are so old and worn anil
bent by overwork that they cnn bo recog
nized at sight nnd were St- - .T-.own to fool
an > ono but an occasional bride who hap
pened to bo very much in love and very un
sophisticated.
" 1'vo been through It nil nnd I know the
Btorj. In the first place If a man wants to
spend nn occasional evening away from
homo there is no icnson why ho shouldn't.
Just because two people happen to bo mar
ried It Isn't necessary that they should bore
each other to death. But a man makes
such protestations before marriage that 1
suppose ho doesn't feel at liberty to tell the
truth afterward. And to ho falls back on
the old frayed story of being delayed at the
ollico or having to take a country customer
to the theater or having an evening appoint
ment with a business associate or an en
gagement at the club. That was the way
It was with my husband. If ho didn't get
homo to dinner on tlmo ho would trot oul
that old afcsortment of lies and pick out ono
for my edification. If he did not get homo
until midnight he would hastily run over
thorn again and make another selection.
"If ho planned In advance to go to the
theater or a poker party ho would chaos ?
ono and let mo have it for breakfast or jusi
before starting for too office. I wouldn'i
have inred so mu h If they h d bcoa nt all
artistic , but It grieved me to think he felt
that sue'i ' absurdly cheap Ifns weic ftool
enough feir me I resented j ] , as nn Insult
to my Intelligence But TTBTT see now that
It wasn't so Intended lliyo mcriiiy mas
culine nature. It the trihfvou1d [ | serve n
man better than a lie In his dealings with
a woman he would Ilo from force ot habit-
that Is , most men would.
"It's different with myll husband now.
iHe knows better. He was grumpy nnd tired
and cross one evening nnd slid bo wtis
going out after dinner. I n < < ked him where
ho was going , expeitlng to hear the old
story about n man waltiilfttor him nt the
office or n business engagement at the club ,
but ho merely said rather gruffly that he
was going to tlio theater. . „
" 'Don't joii want to tnKe.mc ? ' I nskcil.
" 'No , I don't , ' he nriswcT'ed. 'I don't
vant to take any one. ' ' ' "
" 'You're sure jou'ro nd going to the
office to work or to the club to keep n tnisl-
icss engagement ? ' I Inquired.
" 'I'm not going within a mlle of tlio
otflrc ' he replied , 'and If I go to the club It
will bo only to play ft few games of polter.
'm going out for n quiet llttlo time by m > -
sclf , nnd that's nil there Is to It. '
" \Vcll , I was so glad to hear him tell mo
ho truth once that I Just put my arms
around his neck and kissed him nnd told
ilm I was glnd he realized nt last that 1
tail a llttlo sense. Ho wns lather r.ston-

railroads , aa compared to those of the present

"Tho advancement mndo In railway con

since I first entered the ccrvlcc ns a con-
luctor , over forty-three > cars ago , has been
noDt wonderful , " saleU Mr. Hanford to a ic-
> ortor of t'ho St. IxjuU Globe ) Democrnt.
There are many peculiar fuels of thrso eailj
Inies CB oompnrod to the conditions of
today. In 1854 a piasenger train was com-
iaed of very ordinary conches , the locomio-
Ivcs were nro I by wood , such n thing as
a sleeper was unknown , and the trnck wai
constructed In what wo would now consider
i crude way. There was no s > stem of rnll-
wny telegraph then. AM Ido-i of the ad
vancement In railroad construction In the
ccst , and nl.so the equipment. nia > be ob-
alned by giving foots In compnrloon. In
1SP,4 the old-fashioned split rail , weighing
forty pounds to the jard. was u ed : but
i > \v the modern rail for the large trunk
Incs weighs from eighty to 100 pounds
i'.iiHfngor coaches then weighed from six
to eight tons , nnd today they wejgh from
sKtecn to eighteen ton , ? , while many special
cars for railroad presidents weigh from
forty-sK to fifty tons. In 1R3I the axles
of a coach were thrco and one-half Inches
In diameter ; t- < lay they are from five to six
Inches lu dlnmcrtcr. Then n cist-lion wheel
for a coadi weighed 2C.O poum'g. but now
the paper wheels with steel ilili.s weigh
100 poundo each. The old-tlmo rills were
from twenty-two to twcntv-four feet In
length , but today they ate thirty-sis , feet In
length and there'by ' are an aid to smooth
running. Formerly the outside rails
on i curve had an elevation or no more than
cno and cnelialf Incite" , but scientific ex
periments have proved that such nn elevatiin
e-in bo as much ns four or llvo Inches. For
merly the forward driving wheel of an
engine had ,1 Hit tire , with no flanges , and
the other driving \\hools have two flanges
Iiutoad of Blowing up mound n curve todiy
the train ivns Just as fast on a circle as on
a straight track. In 1S)4 ! n locomotive
weighing eighteen tons was considered a
monster and It would yull from fifteen to
twenty freight cars of .1 oirrjing capacity
of ten tons each , but a passenger or froignt
engine today on our road will weigh 100
tons and will pull forty-flvo loaded oars
ea-h having the standird carrying cap.icltj
of twenty tons , or pull slxtv empties. Some
of the fat cars , used In hauling ccal todiy ,
Invo a carrjlng capacity of tlilrtj tons All
thcfeo Itrprowmcnta have elect eased the vibra
tion of a train , canned smoother mniilng
nnd have made greater speed possible.
WEIGHT AND SPEED
"This great increase in the weight of the
lolling1 stock of the railroads necessitated a
change In the construction of railroad
bridges The old wooden bridges , built It
the eJajs of ten-ton cars and eighteen-ton
engines , were leplaced by stevel bridges will
Iron trusses. In some pbces there were
wooden olio bridges , but now they ere being
abandoned and the bridges are of canti
lever construction or of steel and lion en
tirely.
"Vast improvement las been made In the
speed of railway trains. In ISSt an accom
modation train on the New York Central was
scheduled nt twenty-five mlle.s an hour , In
cluding stops ; now an accommodation is
fHieduled at forty miles am hojr , Including
stops. The greatest fcipccd In the early dayt
was In 1SG1 , when the New York Central
imdo a contract to deliver New York nons
papers in Albany , 144 miles away , In three
hours and twenty minutes. Then tli
loaded cars were drawn by horses for three
mlle stlirough I'.io streets of the dovvntonn
section of New York City , because the city
ordinances prevented a locomotive from cress-
ing the strcc-td In tl-at section , on the tlicoty
that the Iron horse Interfered with street
traffic nnd wns n menace to human life. I
the railroad company had failed to make the
tlmo as per contract a relxite would bo pild
to the newspapers , but the read mover once
failed. The Eirolro State Express , on the
sinio read , toJa > covers the same distance fa
thrco hours and seven -minutes This trait
Is the fastest In the world for tlio distance
traveled , being scheduled 01 fifty-
two and a half miles an hour
from New York City to Duffnlo. 4SS miles ,
Including four stops n < nd changing en
gines twice. The f-ifit train of 18C1 carrier ]
two cords ot wood on Its engine , and the
tender held 1,000 gallons of water , while the
locomotive of the Empire express of to lay
carries six tons ot coal and from 3,000 to
4.000 galloEH of water 'n ' the tender. In the
old ilajs a stop for wood and water included
flvo minutes , whllo today water lo taken
while the train is rumnlng thirty miles an
hour , A largo Iron water trough lies be
tween the ralia , and In the winter power
plants located from thirty to fifty miles apart
send a current of stream through this
trough to prevent the water from freezing.
Whllo the locomotive Is running a siphon
In put donci Into the trough and the water
Is Rcooped up through n trap and Into the
tender. The faster the train ruis the ooonor
the tender Is filled with water. But the
speed of the fast train of 1801 was meat
remarkabln considering the equipments of
these days. The big driving- wheels on the
locomotives today are sometimes 0 feet 8
Indira In diameter , cm\ \ one revolution covers
twenty feet of ground , whllo In 1834 the
titandard diameter of n driver was C feet 0
Inches , and ono revolution covered but ana
rod.
CONVENIENCES FOR TRAVELERS.
"Tho advancement In providing conven
iences for the traveling pub'lo has been
wonderful , and lia certainly kept up with
the general progress of the century. In
1851 sperm oil was used for lighting the
coaches , then sperm cendlcs as largo as a
man's wrist and a\x \ Indira long , and each
weighing ono and a lulf pounds , were used
for lighting purposes. In 1870 our read ex
perimented with a generated gas , but finally
went back to the usu of sperm candlen and
whale oil , The whales began to bo scarce
and whale oil and sperm candles became so
expensive that the read adopted camphlno
for Illumination In 1S72. Then the oil ( Iddo
of Pennsylvania came In and provided pe
troleum , ccid six kerevsono lamps were used
In each coach. I'lntech gas came to bo
used after a long experiment , and Is in u o
today. Hut an experiment is being made
with electricity There Is a now patent , by
which two cars are furnished with a dynamo
name attached to a wheel , and a storage
battery beneath the car to furnish light for
each car for ten hours. A. n Cornell , ex-
governor of Now York. Ij vice president of
the company which owns tills patent.
"The methods of heating the coaches have
been wonderfully Improved The old plain ,
wooden coaches had a seating capacity of
forty. The coaches of today seat seventy-
two persons. In 1S5I a coach was heated
by a box stove three feet In length nnd
sixteen to twenty Inches In width. Only
wood wax burned. The stove was always
placed 1a the center of the coach , and these
who obtained seats near by never moved
away , whllo the passengers near the doors
felt their toes tingling with the cold. Tno
eeats woro-taken out In the winter to make
rcom for the big wood stove. In 1858 or
18r,9 , the locomotives began using hard coal ,
and then coal utovea ruc-ro placed In the
coache'S. Toiler came the IlaVcr sjslem ot
steam heating A reservoir , containing
three or four gallons ot water jnd n quan
tity ot salt to prevent freezing , vvas IceateJ
on the top of a coach. A largo cylinder
containing n cdl of plpo ran from the reser
voir to ft cylinder In one mil of the coaeh
ami the pipes ran along the sliles ot the
car. No\t came the plan of today , by which
cars nro heated bj strain from the engine ,
the stenm being carried bark by ,1 Jioso con
necting each ear This sjstem came In
vogue only four or live jears ago.
