AN IMPORTANT INCIDENT AT A COUNTRY AUC- . TION SALE. Quite recently a country store stock was sold off by auction in lots to suit purchasers. The sale, which had been well adver- tised by circulars distributed through- out the country, drew a large crowd of sturdy farmers and their good wives ; the bidding was fast and spirited, and good prices were realized for all useful and staple goods. Amongst the bast variety of articles put up for sale were two lots of package dyes for household dyeing. The auctio- neer announced that he would first dis- pose of the "Diamond Dyes," goods that every farmer and farmer's wife knew well and favorably. The women, be- ing most interested in these goods, did the bidding, and in ten minutes time, some six gross of the "Diamond Dyes" were sold to anxious buyers. ' The other dyes were then brought forward, and introduced by some oriental name. Said the auctioneer : "I give you the name of these dyes, but 1 know little about their manufac- ture or qualities; come, give me a hid, any price." e'tThere was no response—not a bid to ncotirageethe auctioneer's heart. See - ,Ing that time was being Lost, and anx- ious to get rid of these dyes;at any price, the auctioneer, in a joking way, said: "You surely want your garden fences and barns painted ; if these dyes are not good enough to color your dresses, shawls, jackets, coats, silks and rib- bons, they will surely do for common wood painting. The idea was a revelation —and seem- ed to meet with the favor of a few, and for a small price, the entire stock of worthless dyes designated by a high sounding nitme, was sold tootle farmer, who was heartily laughted at. There is a most important moral to be deduced from the results of the auction sale just referred to. The moral taught is, that poor and worth- less'dyes, wherever sold, are dear at any, price—even when used for com- mon Sesee paintifig. The' r"Dlamond Dyes" are well known, popular and always reliable ; they sell everywhere and under all circumstances, and give wonderful re- sults in restoring to beauty and useful- ness old and faded articles of wearing apparel. "Diamond Dyes" save manly dollars each year in every farmer s home. A 1t )o5 TO genaEMEN.—one bottle of English Spavin Linimentco nplctety removed acerb from my horse.

Bowe Profess to Expect Steam to be Superseded—Others Think It Can Be Used' Only for Short Distances—Light Can Not Go Out. What *91 electricity do for railroads ? That is one of the questions which are engaging; tlip attention of the inventors and of the managers as well as of the Public It is a big question and one that is as yet practically unanswered. To be sure inventors tors have done considerable in the way of a partial solution but there is more to be done than has been done. It was, pike. proposed to build an electric railroad lino from Chicago to Si. Louis and the projectors told great stories of how the trains would run at the rate of 100 miles an hour and how greatly the cog] of transportation would be reduced. But the line has not been built, and that fact is evidence enough that something was lacking in the plans to attract the attention of practical men, who before they put any money into a scheme must see some way for it to come back, But if electricity as applied to rail- roads other than street -car lines has not got beyond the experimental stage. it has reached a point where it gives the railroad managers seine occasion for a slight degree of uneasiness. It has already affected the steam railroads in their suburban passenger traffic, and having gone that far it may go farther. Everyone agrees that electricity as ap- plied to modern usages is only in its in- fancy. Electric lines are paralleling traffic lines in all large cities. And wherever they have been introduced there is no question but that they have seriously interferred with the business of the steam lines, during all but four of the most severe months of the year at least. That is the admission of railroad managers generally, As to how much electric lines are to be feared in the transmission of passen- gers and freight over long stretches of territory there is a difference of opinion. Vico-President J. T. Odell, of the New York & New England, says that in his opinion electricity may come to be used between two large cities not more than 40 or 50 miles apart. Further than that ,he does not believe electricity will ever supersede steam. President 0. D. Ashley of the Wabash gees further, however. He says: "I am inclined to believe that, eventually, electricity as a motive power will super- sede steam, but I do not think it will be- come an important factor in general rail transportation for long distances until the method of its application has been greatly changed and improved. It Hew the Girls Love Each Other. "I want a husband who's easily pleased." "Well, dear, that's the kind you're sure to get." would be idle to deny great possibilities in the future of electricity, and 1 am a strong believer in its subtle potenacy a an agent in practical work, but I doubt very much whether man's intelligence has mastered its secrets sufficiently to count upon its constant and economical work for long distances. There aro many serious objections So overcome, I think before it can be considered a for- midable rival for general transporta- tion by rail. When these objections are overcome, I believe the steam roads are in the hest position to avail of the power, and that they have such an ad. vantage in construction and Ideation, that they will be the first to utilize it successfully. It does not appear to me that this condition is yet in sight, but is to this I may be mistaken, I believe electric power to be a giant, still in in- fancy. Its growth has already been ab- normally rapid, but it will require long study, and experience to develop its great capacity, and to teach us the best method of controlling and utilizing it." General -Manager Sargeant of the Grand Trunk of Canada says : "It is impossible to conjecture to what extent this wonderful agent may be developed, but, so far as its present adaptability is concerned, electricity would be too cost- Iy, and could not adapted to all require- ments of the railway service. I found that to be so, when considering the question, in connection with the work- ings of a short piece of land, between A. and B. not long since." Tho view of Collis P. Huntington, president of the Southern Pacific, is thus expressed : "My impression is that, for short passenger roads, electricity is go- ing to be an important factor in trans- portation, though to just how great an extent I do not of course ' know, but for long roads, carrying heavy tonnage,I do not believe it will ever take precedence over steam. It is possible that the time may come when roads which now use steam may find it more economical to use electricity in many places," President E. P. Smith of the Vermont Central is a believer in the future of electricity, for he says: "So many as- tounding discoveries have already tran- spired ran- s i ed in electricity one cannot but be- lieve that sooner or later it will consti- tute the motive ppower in connection with rail tra.nsportatlon." One great annoyance in the present method oflighting trolley -cars is that every time the trolley slips oft' the car is left in darkness. A system of lighting cars by electricity has been devisee by Dar. W. M. Miner, tho electrical engin- eer of the American Manufa.aturing and Engineering Company, Now York, and rt dstnonstration of it was recentlyiv- en Os installed inn. car in IIubolceu,N.J. The visitors were conveyed in the car, and in running over the line the trolley - circuit was frequently broken in order to show the value of this system id al- ways keeping the car illuminated • whether the trolley wheel is on or off. The system consists in the ,use of a small storage battery of six Donaldson -Mac- rae storage celis,which are used to light duplicate set of lamps should the trol- conte off or the motor current give ,tt or be interrupted in any way, the •,itttery being switched on autonnatieal- iv'when the motor circuit is broken. A r trolley -current is passed through an electromagnet, wltich coutpl,ttes a cir- cuit through incandescent lamps connected in series in the usual man- ner. The same current also passes through the storage battery, keeping it charged. A late electrical device is a chair to run On a trolley -wire. A man can sit in this chair and fly through the air at the rate of 30 miles per hour, provided he does not slip his trolley, in which event he would be likely to come to grief. The trolley -chair was originally invent- ed for the purpose of enablin;; •judges,to follow a horse -race around the track. Richard E. Sherman, of Chicago, is tho inventor. The intention is to suspend the car upon wire three-fourths, of, an inch in diameter, No. 10 copper wire being used to carry the current at 110 volts and the supporting wire bele suspended front wooden poles at the side of the track. The car is made of wood, and is of sufficient size to accommodate two persons. The motor is placed under the seat and is controlled by a breaking device operated by the feet. The arma- ture carries upon its shaft a wheel belt- ed to another wheel mounted upon the shaft, which also carries the wheel by which the car is suspended. The accumulator, cars, which have been running for some time on the line of the Northern Tramways Company of Paris, appear to be proving fairly satis- factory, as the cost is reported to work out at about the same as horse -power on the Paris lines. The ears are ar- ranged to seat 69 persons, and run at a seed of about 7} miles an hour within the city limits, which ouiside is in- creased to 10 miles. Inclines of about 4 per cent. have to be mounted at cer- tain parts of the line, and each car runs 80 miles a day. The motive power is supplied by a battery of 108 cells, hav- ing 11 plates each. These cells are fitted into 12 cases. They are coupled in four groups of 27 cells each. the eiee- tromotive force of each groups being about 50 volts. The grow f can be ar- ranged either in parallel or series, so that a wide range of speed is at the service of the driver. The two motors which drive the car can also be coupled in series or parallel. The total weight of the car, with accumulators and pas- sengers, is 12 tons, the weight of motors and accumulators being about four tons. Greater Than the Ancients. It is no longer a debatable question whether in physical powers the best men of this age excel the best men of ancient times, says The Baltimore Sun. There is no well -authenticated record of a Grecian athletic feat that has not been beaten by the athletes of this 1901 cen- tury. Leander'yswim across the Belle - spout was far outdone when the late Capt. Webb swam across the straits of Dover from England • to France. Lord Byron had already equalled Leander's feat. Tis Spartan runner Ladas drop- ped dead on completing a race of two and three-quarters miles; and it was thought to be not surprising that lie should, as the distance was regarded as very long. We have no record of the speed at which Ladas ran, but as to the distance covered it was trifling' conlpar- • ed with the distances that many of our running athletes cover. That the modern man is of a bigger breed scientific inquiry has made cer- tain. The size of the heroes of classic days, like most other things about them, was mythical. It was only in statuary that Ajax and the other large -limbed men of antiquity ever had existence. Many years ago an old-fashioned tour- nament was projected in England the corselets and greaves of the ,nailed men of the Plantagenet period were pulled out of the closets of the old cas- tles to be used by the modern descen- dants of the "brave knights of old." It was at,pnce discovered that the 19th - century Englishman was much too tall in stature and large in girth to get into them, `And hereby perished the long - cherished fiction that the human race, was physically degenerating, and that the men of to day were "not the men their forefathers were." We.may, as we look over all that has been done on land and so in lowering the racing records, alike of men, horses and ships' feel that that we are indeed "the heirs of'all the ages in the fore- most files of time." We have faster run- ners, stouter swimmers, surer marks- men, better rowers and yachtsmeu,finer horsemen than ever were known to the Europe of feudal times or the Athens of Homeric days. Cruelty to Antlnnls. In a speech at Rochdale, John Bright said: "There is nothing, to my mind, more base than to cruelly treat animals, who cannot answer, who cannot resent, who cannot avenge themselve, who can- not escape, and who, whatever their suf- f'erings may be in many cases, are not able to utter a word about them. I don't know anything more base than the cruelty which ou sometimes see shown to dogs and horses. I have a great affection for clogs and a very great re- gard for horses. I think dogs are what are called more intelligent, but horses are much more intelligent than the world general- ly, gives them credit for ; and with them, however much kindness is repaid a hundred or a thousand fold by the good services and the generous return they make for the good treatment they receive. Therefore, if I were talking to children this it one of the things I should now and then calf their attention to."—London Animals World. Sled Bus Fears.

People have been hearing a lot about ttsouul waves' since Edison invented the phonograph, and many have spoken about them as if they rushed through the air gathui' ir volume and break • n• against the walls with a splash like the wavusat Coney Island. The avera're, man would not know a sound wave it he saw ono conning, -but it he were told that a big one was approaching over a tele ph me wire lie would probably rush toget out of the way as if it threatened to en gulf him. Now, however, the sound wave has at List been photographed, and people can know what it looks like. Here is a pie - turd of onos which closely resembles the tail of a snake. Each sound wave, it •tppeai•s, is nerds up of countless wave- 1••ts. '1'tt0 wave which made the tail of the shake was a 8tt'aln 01 music sung into a phonograph specially arranged for the purpose.

A great line of development IS Opened up by this new dist•oerv. It is elarm vi that written music will he clone away with and that by purchasing a few pic- tures of snakes, seaweed trees and banana peels you can learn the very new,'st thing in the musical world. From the skin of an ordinary snake you can produce "griddle notes of great in- tensity," and the commonest daisy will toll you how to sing soft notes '`in the first space of the buss clef."

They prefer to buy their fresh cows, and take all tite risk of securing inferior milkers and of bringing disease in the herd than to be patient and grade their herds up to the highest degree of excellence. They do not earn to wait until the calves ,nature, and lose largo sums in small yields of milk from the purchase cows. Thought and skill will easily defeat natural conditions. In the long run, those who have most to contend with usually succeed hest. To fit one's sett' for the present time is the aim of tho progressive farmer. In ono of the New-Eiigland States a census of dairy cows has been made, The yearly' re- turns per cow, in what is regarded the most favored dairy section. were only two thirds as great in localities consider- ed more unsuitable for dairying.
