The B team Railway a Yery Welcome
Invention.
When the railway was first in
troduced into England its adoption
was greatly hastened by the fact
that tbe existing mean9 of transport
had long been outgrown, says a
writer in the New York Tribune.
Goods went by canal, and Liver
pool, far example, was full of mer
chandise tbe canals could not carry.
Passengers hired special convey
ances or traveled by ' coach, ' and
every niht 1400 coaches rolled out
of tbe London yards. If you were
in haste you might post tho 210
miles from London to Liverpool in
twenty-four hour for f 100. Tbe
world was ready for the new order.
In America, as in' tbe Old World,
the towns were oh the rivers; roads
were few and mostly bad, and the
chief travel was by water. When
the time came for ua to cross tbe
hills and plains there was tbe rail
way, so we stopped short in our
career of read-making, and left tbe
great traffic to the rail, and the
side traffic ta the "dirt" road. Now
at last, we aie lace to lace with a

THE MISTLETOE.
It 11ns a History Running Rat'k to
The Drnids.
Mistletoe is one of tliose plants
called parasites. Tbe mistletoe is a
gray thread-like plant, and you
will some-times see it about' the
streets for sale at Christmas time,
for, like the holly, it is a Christmas
plant, sajs a writer in ' Little men
and Women."
There, are manv different kiids
of mistletoe, but that which glows
on the -oak 13 the most famous in
English history.
In England, although the people
think a great deal cf having the
mistletoe of the cak to deck their
bouses at Christmas, it is not allow
ed in tbe churches.
Many, many hundred years a?o
tho mistletoe was a sacred plant in
England. The people-did worship
the one true God, but they Selievtd
in several evil spirits, and these they
worshioed and tried to nlease. For
thee spirits they set apart tbe oak
trees.
Tbe priests were called Druid,
and tbey built their alters in oak
groves. There they prayed and
sang tbeir hymni of praise Dress
ed in long wbite rodes, these Druids
marched in procession in oak trees
nnd cat oft tbe mistletoe with
knives of gold. After sayiog a
prayer over it, they cut it in short
pieces and gave it as a New Year's
gift among the people, who kept it
carefully.

WOMAN'S RETTER SIDE.
Characteristics Which Make Them
Fascinating.
The power of fascination inherent
in women may, moreovec. be divid
ed into two kinds. We all, says
tbe Brooklyn Eagle, have seen the
old lady, generally white haired,
with kindiy, pleasant features, on
which time has set no unfriendly
mark, who still retains all. ber
attractiveness. : Note how the boys
and girls adore her; they will go to
ber and confide their sorrows, their
hopes, tbeir ambitions, and when
they would not breathe a word
to tbeir mothers. Tbe kindly,
loving interest evinced in a lad's
affaiia by such a one has time and
again first implanted tbe impulses
in the heart which eventua.ly- led
him on to an honorable career.
Quickly, almost bv stealth, the
good is done Oy such, and the good
seed sown whicii will ripen in after
time into a rich and abundant crop.
On tbe ctber band, we have most
of us seen, perhaps in real life,
certainly on the stage, the fascinat
ing adventuress who, by tbe
enthralling . beaute de diable
enslaves men's souls and leads them
(on the stage) to dare ail for her
sake. Such is directly opposed to
tbe sweet old lady in her old-fish
ioned chair, and these two form
tue opposite poles between which
tbe women who fascinate vary.
Types differ, and any one you may
select has some position between
these opposites. Take, tor instance,
a pretty and may be witty woman
who, bcrdly of her own free will,
makes every man fall in love with
her to a neater or less decree.
She may be innocent of ab , evil
intention, but ber position' on the
scale is not vastly removed; from
that of the melodramatic sorceress.
Or, again, take the inBUttce of tbe
Drettv voune matron wno, while
devoted to home, "husband and
children, yet has ' several intimate
friends of the male persuasion.
But her influence is all for good.
Her fascination is exerted in a
worthy cause, and she ha- found
out a great truth that there is no
friendship so lasting, so true and
so pleasant us one between persons
of opposite sexes, where a true.
TfiWSL
feeling of bonne camaraderie
exists and thero la no pretense to
love making. Such a woman, if
she lives long enough, bids fair to
develop into a snowy-haired old
lady on whose friendship the
children will rely.
DOWN WENT M'GINTY.
Most Ridiculous and Moat Popular
Song That Ever Appeared.
You Lear it everwherc. In parlor
and In kitchen, in office and in store;
in tbe mansions of the rich, in the
homes of the poor. It is more in fee-
tious than the discomfiting "grip"
and if it is not stayed in its mad career
it win soon prove more annoying.
"Down went McGinty to the bottom
of the sea,"
That is the refrain of the most ridie-
okMU. apng that has "ever bean sprung
unon the r American public for yearn,
All other jingles have necn driven out
of use lor the time being by its catchy
air and senseless words. It has neither
musieal nor literary merit, and why it
should become a popular craze is one
of those mj-sterious things that no fel
low can satisfactorily explain. " The
words of the song are aa follows:
Sunday morning just at nine, Dan Me.
Steod looking up at a very high
o . svvtan mil
When bis yocnr frieni Fat McCann,
ays i n oet nve uuiiara, isau,

Ana he soon cemmencea 10 ream

When McGinty, cnteold rogue, to win
tbe nve ne aia tei go,
Never thinking just how far he'd
have to drop.
mnnra
Down went McGinty to the bottom of
the wai.
And tho' he won the five, he was
mnf. Atkaii than altvp.
Snrc his ribs, and nose, and back were
broken irom getting sucn a ian.
Dressed in his best suit of clothes.
From the hospital, Mac went home,
wbeu they fixed his broken bones,
To find be was the father of a child,
80 to celebrate it right his friends ho
went to invite,
And be soon was drinking whisky
fast and wild:
Then he waddled down the street, in
his Sunday suit 60 neat.
Holding up his head as proud as
John the G-eat,
But in the sidewalk was a hole, to re
ceive a ton of coal.
That McGinty never saw till just too
late.
CHORUS.
Down went McGinty to the bottom ef
the hole.
Then the driver of the cart, gave the
load of coal a start.
And it took us half ati hour to dig Mc
Ginty from the coal,
Dressed in his best suit of clothes.
Ndw McGinty raved and swore, about
his clothes he felt so sore.
And an oath he took he'd kill the
man or die;
So he tightly grabbed his stick, and
hit the driver a lick, -Then
he raised a little slian'y on his
eye;
But the two policeman caw the muss,
