PR0QRES3 OF RAPID TRANSIT. sjUtlstle. Fro. Tlial th. HorM Car I Fut Lotlng 1U Csefalnes. JM the convention of the American Street Railway association at Buffalo, In many ways one of the most impor tant gathering of the kind ever teen in tliU ooantry, President Lowry congrat ulated the association on the progress which bad been made in the work of the association since Its organization In 1883. He alluded to the fuct that the United States government had recog nized the growing Importance of eity paaenger traffic by incorporating in its eetuui statistics for 1890 a report on street railways In oities of over 60,000 inhabitants. In this report fifty-six cities are in cluded, and out of a total of 3,150 miles of track possessed by them 2,351 miles are operated by horses, 2C0 miles by electricity, 255 miles by cable and 221 miles by steam. In the smaller cities electricity Is being generally adopted, md there are already In operation in eitles and towns under 50,000 inhabit ants about 1,600 miles of electric street railway. Mr. Lowry added : I am so thorouglily convinced that electricity is the coming power for itrect railways (except heavy grade, where the cable is best suited), and that it will prove effective as a means of rapid transit in cities, that I believe this is the lost convention that will ever seriously consider horses for the opera tion of street railways. When the peo ple of a city clearly understand the great benefits of rapid transit by elec tricity or other Improved motive power over horses, they will demand that their city authorities grant such rights as will enable street railway companies to operate by the most improved methods. Heretofore street railway securities have been looked upon with favor by the financial world. However, since they have been operated by electricity, the flnanciul men of the country are looking to Its development and appli cation to utreet railways as an addition al reliable security for the investment of savings and trust funds. .This should encourage street railway companies to give their various cities the most Im proved and best possible service. They will not only please their patrons, but the investment will prove very profit able.' If street railway companies do this no better security can be offered for the savings of the widow and or phan than a good street railway bond in a thriving city. People have not yet begun to realize what an immensely important factor the increase of speed in city travel may become. It has been found that in creasing the speed of the oars a given percentage inevitably increases the pa tronage in nearly the same ratio, while the operating expenses are increased by a very small fraction of this percent age. An Instance of this has occurred at Davenport, la., where it has been found, taking the record for one year, that the total expense of operating five horse cars was $10,&i0, while five eleo trio cars cost $1 1,270 to operate during the same tinio, or it cost to operate the same number of cars 3 1-2 per cent more by electricity than by horses. The gross earnings for the twelve months of the same equipments were, horses fl5,897, electricity $23, 670. It will thus be seen that although the operating expenses were increased 3 1-2 per cent where electricity was used, the earnings were increased very nearly 50 per cent, or in other words the substitution of electricity resulted in a net gain of more than 46 per cent, owing to the increased patronage in duced ' by the improved service. Pittsburg Dispatch. French Cookery la 157S. The French," writes the Venetian embassador in 1578, "never spend money so willingly as when they are purchasing food, and making what they term bonne chore. This is the reason why butchers, restaurateurs, pastry cooks and tavern keepers abound. There is not a street in which you do not find theui. Would you purchase meat, either dead or alive? You can do so at any moment Do you wish your provisions to be sent in dressed? The cooks and pastry cooks, In less than an hour, will furnish you with a dinner or a supper for ten, lor twenty or even for a hundred persons. "The rotisseur provides the meat, the pastry cook the pies, tarts, entrees and desserts; the confectioner con tributes the jellies, sauces and ragouts. The art of gastronomy is so far ad vanced in Paris that you can order a dinner at any price, from a teston to a crown, or from one crown to twenty crowns. For this latter sura I verily believe you could obtain manna soup or roast phenlx, or whatever is most precious in 'the world." All the Year Round. Dr. Talmage' Foresight. The Rev. T.

How Knock and firratehea o tha Wall An. Mala to Represent Word and I'D rases br Which Prisoner. May Hold Communication. And now for the ''knock language, "or 'knock alphabet." There is a multitude Of such alphabets at the various political prisons of Ktisxia and Siberia, almost, every prison having au alpbuln-t of its own. The simplest system is:' One knock at the wall aiguille a, two knocks b, three knocks c, etc Out as the Russian grammar contains thirty-live letters, this system is tiresome snd inconvenient, and to facilitate It various acoustic methods are used. A knock at a wall with the end of a Queer sounds different from a knock with a knuckle. A thumb mill causes another peculiar sound. The sound of the palm of the hand is different from that caused by a Hat. All the finger nails at once creates a peculiar sound of their own; the knuckles make the knock sound dif ferent than the tinker euds, or the wrist, or elbow. Again various sounds can be elicited with every or several lingers at once, and the sound of a buss button or a penholder can also easily be distinguished. The fonnutlon of a k nock it 'f Imbct f urt her depends on the figures marked on the wall by the knocks. A straight line Could easily be indicated by two knocks at different points, a triangle by three knooks, a quadrangle by four knocks, and soon. The time which elapses between the knocks is also taken into consideration, and some knocks often signify whole words and phrases. , .; WOItns AVD PnRASES. j v ' : At the central prison of Belgorod, words frequently used were expressed by knock figures as follows: One knock with the end of the thumb signified yes; several knocks, repeated quickly one after an other with the end of the thumb, signified no; a rectangle indicated by a knuckle, meant relatives; a square, friends, com rades, members of the same party; a straight line, what Russian prisoners call "volla," the outside, free world; two straight lines. Hilierla; a triunglo, prison; a bow, which was indicated by rubbing a brass button at the wall, prisoner; two parallel lines signified corridor; a vertical liue. director; a crooked line, warder; n semicircle, mediator; a knock at the wall with the elbow, czar, and so on. Several knocks at the wall with the knuckles was a warning: "Don't knock, somebody is coming!" Two slow knocks at the wall signified: "nalloo, do you care to spcakf One knock with the knuckles and one with the ends of the fingers went for: "Wait, I am busy," snd one knock with the whole palm signified: "Now, go on, I am ready to listen." I was expressed by a knock at the wall with the little linger; you, by a knock with the wrist. Before entering into the minor details of the knock alphabet as it was in use at tha central prison of Belgorod, a fow pre liminary remarks are deemed necessary. There are in the Russian alphabet hard and soft, long and short vowels, so called. Instead of giving their respective names, the approximately corresoiiding English vowels will be given below for the sake of convenience. The Russian g is pro nounced like the English g in get. The Russian J like the French g or J la ger maiu or Jeunesse. INGENUITY VS. THB CZAB. The alpbuliet was composed as follows: One knock at the wall with tho large finger stood for a, in, or yu; two knocks with the same linger, e, ie, iou, or ye; one knot with two Angers, i, ie, el, en, or y; two knocks with two fingers, o, oa, io, or yo; one knock with the first finger joiuts, oo, ou, iu, or yoo. It must be said that for the sake of quickness the vowels were left out whenever it was possible. B or p was expressed by one knock at the wall with one knuckle, nsuiilly with that of the large finger; v or f by two knocks with one knuckle; g or k by one knock all knuckles, j or s by one knock with the thumb and the next finger put together, 1 or r by two knocks with the same, m or n by one knock with all fingers, s or sh by two knocks with all fingers, c, ts, or ch by one knock with the knnckles and one with the fingers, fol lowed quickly one after another; kh or the German ch by one kuock with a knuckle and one with a finger, etch or sbtch was expressed by two quick snaps at the wall. As to figures, such were easily denoted by corresponding numbers of knocks. One knock with the middU joint of the large finger, a short pause, five knocks with the same slowly re peated, another pause, and two knocks with the list went for 1,600, the 'ist knocks indicating seros, and so ou. As far as quickness is concerned, the above is the most convenient, if not the simplest, alphabet used in Russian pris ons. It was not the product of a sudden discovery at the prison at Belgorod, but the result of niodiUcatious made grad ually in the course of months. All sorts of systems were tried, not excepting the system used by telegraphers, that is, points and lines; or the so called figure system, that is, expressing, for instance, the twenty-fifth, twenty-eighth or thirty third letter of the Russian alphabet by two and five, two and eight, or three and three knocks, with a pause between, but they all hail to be given up. To make a line distinguishable it was necessary to rub some metal, for instance a brass but ton or clmiu Joiut, at the wall, but the sound was too sharp, and the warders could easilvbear it. The figure system was too tw, monotonous and weary. Besides, tho walls of the solitary cells of the Belgorod prison were of solid stone block, and this, perhaps, made the above system most available. Brick or wooden walls would have necessarily required a somewhat modifle.l system. Michael JJalkoff in Chicago News. ' a , 'r Lade Chape rom for IjmI.t TntrrUt.

A Landlady Tell Why They Are I'nda trabls aa Lodger Not llusloessllka, "What Is the matter that women win have no home find It so difficult to obtain what passes for one even by paying for it) What advantage has a man over a woman as roomer or boarder? I am beglnnlug to find the burden of my woman's estate too heavy to liear. I have hitherto considered it very enjoyable and honorable, but the experience of the last three days has made me willing to change places with the veri est wretch that ever wore trousers. Now, will you, out of your own xperience and observation, solve this mystery, for you do not seem like one to hold an unauthor ized opinion?" - "Of course," replied the lady, "there are boarders and boarders Just as there are landladies and landladies. For my part 1 like ladies in the house. Every bouse is plcasauter and should be the bet ter for their presence. But the fact re mains that they are more trouble than men. When they are In their rooms all day, where they have a right to be, they are generally wnnting something not lu the bond. They I am talking now of tho careless, selllsh, or simply inconsid erate ones insist upon extra service; tbey will ring for the girl to come up three flights of stairs to put a lump of coal ou the grate, to oen a window or shut it, or to find their nightdress. They'll go Into the bathroom, even those vho have no need to economize, and wash out all sorts of things, hues and handkerchiefs and stockings; this in time tills up the waste pipe with shreds and ravellngs, and the end thereof is a plumber's bill. They will either ring for a flatiron or else they will come down into the kitchen with their trailing skirts and attend to the pressiug out of their gowns there. They will bother the girl, want a little more fire aud an ironing board, a little starch and a holder, and it will frequently end by the girl offering to do the work for them just to get them out of the way. They want a little thread, or a darning needle, or a teaspoon, or some mustard, or table salt, or camphor. It seems to me there's nothing from n pin to a porous plaster that 1 have not been asked for by my Indy lodgers. "They want frequent changes made In the arrangements of their room. The bed doesn't staud the right way, the curtains are too thin or too thick, the back of the rocking chair is too high or too low. They lose their pats key aud burn the gas to heat curling irons and pipe stems where with to curl their hair. They receive calls, properly enough, but they forget that It requires the time of the servant to auswer the bells for theso callcin. And as women spend money less freely than men they do not consider that extra service should receive extra pay. If the truth must be told, I find it much easier and more pleasant to transact business from small mutters to greater ones with a man than w:th a woman. Women are not businesslike, and they will pay f 20 for a bonnet willingly and haggle over a wash bill. Again, in a house full of lady lodgers or boarders there are occasional strifes and cnvylngs, jealousies and gosslpiogs not pleasant. These are a few of the rea sons why women are considered undesir able as lodgers and boarders." Carlotta Perry in Chicago Tribune. Dog Teams of the Fikimo. In traveling the dogs are harnessed to the sledges by traces of wldte whale skin, the oldest and most trustworthy on the lead, the others iu pairs on either side of his line; a dozen constituting a full team, and the whole being controlled by a driver who runs beside them, wielding a whip with a lush thirty feet long, which, in his hands, can take a tuft of hair out of the most distant dog, with uufuiling accuracy. Where there is no beuten track some one must precede the dogs to show them the way, but on a well defined route they will trot along merrily by themselves at the rate of five or Bix miles an hour. Often, when 11 pause Is made for rest or to tee tho runners of the sledge, a discus sion will arise among the dogs as to whether all are pulling their fair share. From barks they soon come, to bites, and a scrimmage ensues which would cast the liveliest corner of Donnybrook Fair Into the shade; the dancing driver with his cracking whip, the snarling, struggling dogs entangled in their traces, aud the overturned Bled combine to make up a scene that defies description.

The Architect . Cancellation or Postage Stamps. To look at the stamps,' one would scarcely Imagine the trouble It required to arrive at an absolutely safe combination that will resist water, alkalies and acids. It was once a serious question. At first it was proposed to use certain kinds of paper, but this proved not feasible, be cause a skillful ojxyator could wash off the ink without injuring the paper. Then experiments were concentrated on the printing, and water colors were proposed, which would wash off with the applica tion of water. But it was found that tha heat of sunimer had the same effect Alkalies and fugitive colors were niso tried, bnt (hey were proved valueless. Still another method was to have the ink fixed in the paper, but acids easily took out the color. - Finally a simple plan was arrived at This was to luuke the Ink of materials which chiefly compose ordinary writing Ink, and, therefore, what would destroy the marking on the stamp would destroy the stamp, which would be of the same quality and character.

EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER. Tha Cuiuniollun C aused hi (ha Statement of I'br U lsil. An unusual article from the RiH'hes ter (N. Y.) llttiwcrtxt ami CJirimieU as recently republished in this paper ami tvas a subject of much comment. That (he article caused even more commotion in U'tcliestor, the following (rum the same paper nIiow s : Dr. J. H. llenlon, who Is well known not only in ltoriii'ster, but in nearly every purt of America, sent an extended trtiole to this nper a few days since, which wits duly published, detailing his remarkable exerieiu'o and rescue from what seemed to Ih certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal inquiries which have Ivcn made at our ollice as to the validity of the article, but they have been num erous that further inve-tigaiion o( the subject was deemed necessary. V ith this eml in view a representative of this imper called on Dr. llenlon til his reshleiit, when the following inter view occurred : "That article of yours, Doctor, litis created quite a w hirlwind, Are the etuU'iueuts about the terrible condition you were in, and t lie way you were rescued such as you can sustain?" " Kvery one of them ami niaiiv addi tional ones. I was brought so low by neglecting the first ami most simple symptoms. I did not think I wus sick. It Is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat noth ing one day snd wus ravenous the next ; felt dull pains and my Htomneh was out of order, but I did not think it meant any thing serious. "The medical profession lias Ix-en treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. The symptoms 1 have Just mentioned or anv unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the np Much of kidney disease more than a cough an nounces the coming of consumption. Wo do not treat the cough, but try to help th lungs. We should not waste our time trying to relieve tho headache, I tains about the liody or other symptoms, itit go directly to the kidiievs, the source of most of these ailments. ' "This, then, is what you meant when you said that more than one-half the deuths which occur arise from llright's disease, is It, Doctor?" - "Precisely. Thousands of diseases are torturing people to-day which in reality are llright's disease in some of its many forms. It is a Hydra-hcarled monster, and the slightest sympt ium should strike terror toeveryone who has them. lean look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physiciapsdeelaredat the time were caused by paralysis, npnplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, mitlariai fever and other common cornpluints which I see now were caused by llright's dis ease." " And did all these cases have simple symptoms at first ?" "Every one of them, nnd might have been cured as I was 17 the timely rse of the same remedy. I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened In this matter und think I am helping others to see the facts nnd their possible danger also." Mr. Warner, who was visited at his establishment on N. St. Paul street, spoke very earnestly: " It is true that llright's disease had increased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that from '70 to '80 its growth wus over L'oO per rent. Ixwk at the prominent men it has curried oil", and is taking oil' every year, for, while many are dying apparently of paralysis and aKplexy, they are really victims of kidney disorder, w hich causes heart dis ease, paralysis, apoplexy, etc. Nearlv every weck the papers record the death of some prominent man from this scourge. Recently, however, the in crease has been checked, and I attribute this to the general use oi my remedy." " Do you think many people are af flicted w ith it to-day who do not realize it, Mr. Warner?" "A prominent professor in a New Or leans medical college was lecturing be fore his class on the subject of llright's disease. He had various fluids under microscopic analysis, ami was showing the students what the indications of this terrible malady were. 'And now, gen tlemen,' he said, 'as we have seen the unhealthy indications, I will show you how it apwars in a state of perfect health,' and ho submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As he watciied the re sults hie couutcnance suddmily changed his color and command both left him, and in a trembling voice he said : 'Gen tlemen. I have made a painful discovery ; have llright's disease of the kidneys;' and In less than a year he was dead. The slightest indications of any kidney diffi culty should be enough to strike terror to any one." " You know of Dr. Henlon's case?" " Yes, I have both read and heard of it." " It ia very wonderful, is it not ?" '' No more so than a great many others that have come to my notice as having been cured by the same means." " You believe then that Uright's dis ease can be cured." " I know it can, I know It from my ow n and the experience of thouciinds of prominent persons who were given up to die by both their physicians nnd friends." You speak of your own experience; what was it?" "A fearful one. 1 had felt languid and unfitted for business for years. But 1 did not know what' ailed me. When, however, I found it was kidneydilliculty I thought there was little hope, and so did the doctcrs. I have s nee learned that one of the physicians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, saving: 'There goes a man who will be dead w ithin a year.' I believe his words would have proved true if I had not fortiinntely used the remedy now known as Warner's Safe Cnre.'' r ' " Did vou make a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. ii. II. Warner somo three vears ago, Doctor? was asked Dr. S. A. Lattimore, one of the analysts of the 8tflt Board of Health." "Yes, sir." . ' ' "What did this analysis show you?" " A serious disease of the kidneys." . " Did you think Dr. Warner could re cover?" ; , " No, sir, I did not think it possible." "Do you know anything about tiie remedy which cured him ? " " I have chemically analyzed it and find it pure snd harmless." The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. War ner snd Dr. Lattimore in the community is beyond question, and the statement thev make cannot for a moment lie doubted. Dr. Henion's experience shows that Bright's disease of the kid neys is one of the most deceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that it is ex ceedingly common, but that it can be cured if taken in time.

My wife was a great sufferer for over ten years with a complication of disorders, from which it seemed she was doomed, as try what we might In the line of doctors appeared a failure.

C. : ' 181 Pearl street, Mew York We'll write it down till everybody sees it Till everybody is sick of seeing it Till everybody knows it without seeing it V , that Dr. Sace's Catarrh Rem- cdy cures the worst cases of chronic catarrh in the head, catarrhal headache, and 14 cold in the head." In perfect faith, its makers, the World's Dispensary Med ical Association of Buffalo, N. Y., 'offers to pay $500 to any one suffering from chronic catarrh in the head whom they cannot cure. ' Now if the conditions were reversed if they asked you to pay $500 for a positive cure you might hesitate. Here are reputable men, with years of honorable dealing; thousands of dollars and a great name back of them and they say MVe can cure you because we've cured thousands like you if we can't we'll pay you $500 for the knowledge that there's one whom we can't cure." They believe in themselves. Isn't it worth a trial? Isn't any trial preferable to catarrh? PATENT ATTOHKY, . F. FFKWICK Tacoma. Wash., and Waslilnrtou D. C. Correauoudsiaot Invited.
