An automobile salesman w vmlklna (town a street the other day when he cam to a place where building wai going on. A truckman w backing bp to the sidewalk a load of building materials. The auto salesman and h: friend stopped to look. It took the driver, and a skillful man at that, about fifteen minutes to work the horse baek so that the wagon wa In the place he wanted It to be. "See that," ald the salesmen, "and then compare it with the' handlness of a motor. That thing would have been don In two minutes with an automobile, and thafa allowing plenty Of leeway. The motor trucU I a time saver, and it' on that basis that w are selling a lot of them." The experience of express oompa.nl with the motor trucks I perhapa the best lino vn this worth because they do a heav ier 'Hue of steady, work than almost any other sort of bualncss except the depait tneot stores. On express company com pared the work done by fifty-three double wagon as against forty automobile trucks, arriving at a conclusion of 3 per cent, saving in favor of the motor. The horse-drawn wagona wtit these: Thirty-nine three-ton wagon at lu73 apiece, totalling JH 6K; five two-ton wagons coat lne JC4S apiece, a total of I1.M7.IS, and nine one-ton wagon at $179.10. a total of $3,411. 90.

It is also an esti mate that Mr. Westingliouae himself has received from competent authority that the upkeep of motor cars in th I'nltcd States sxfes of the motor car and the other to the body of the car. There would bo at least four of these, devices arranged, prac tically after the manner of the steel spring, at each end of each axle near the wheel.

Kllt'a endorsement of the so-called "animal pleasure'' ts nut unworthy of the highest animal, man, will excite interest as the liberal philosophy of a public teacher whose life has been passed in Intellectual pursuit. "Progress is measured by happiness, not by dollars and cents," says the former president of Harvard, and of means toward happiness be says: "Sensuous pleasures, like eating and drinking, are sometimes desorlbed a ani mal, and therefore unworthy, but men are animals and have a right to enjoy without reproach these pleaaurea of ani mal existence which maintain health, strength, and life Itself. These pleasures, taken naturally and in moderation, are all pure, honorable and wholesome." Thl 1 a far departure from the Puritan rul of conduct under which th repression of physical desire was tha first duty of man.
