No one will deny that the education of wo
men has increased and grown enormously
during the last few years. A different stand
ard of perfection lyw bocu raised, and, at>ove
all, Strange and new requirements have been
added to the old code. Woman is still to re

grace and refinement, and seduction of man-
uejj^re as keenly appreciated as ever. But,
be^idts these light and airy graces of the old
school, it is now felt that the more grave and

In the market of Clan*, so cheery tho glare
Of the shops and the booths of the tradespeople
there,
That! take a delight on a Saturday night
In walking that way and in viewing the sight;
For it> here that one sees all the objects that
please— ./> •
Now patterns In silk and old patterns In choose,
For the girls pretty tors, rude alarums for boys,
And baubles galore which discretion enjoys—
But hear I forbear, for I really despair
Of naming the wealth of tho market of Claret
The rich man comes dewn from (he elegant
town.
And looks at it all with an ominous frown;
Ho Weenie to despise the grandiloquent cyies
Of tho vender proclaiming his puddings and
pies!
And sniffing ho gees through tho lanes that dis
close
Much cause for disgust to h’ < sensitive nose;
Once free from the crowd, teo.lmiu ho to proud
That elsewhere, Ju London, this thing's not al
lowed—
Ho Has seen nothing there but fJth everywhere
. And he’s glad to get oat of Ute market of Clam
But the child that has come fiviu the neighbor-
ingsluin
Is charmed by the magic of dazzle and huin;
He feasts hla Mg eyes on the cakes and the pies!
And they seem to grow greeu and protrude with
surprise ’
At the goodies they vend and tho toys without
safifl , -
VII u ■
And it's «»lil if bo had hut a penny to spend;
But, ulas! he must gtet® in a hopeles amaze
At treasures that gfltterand torches tliat blaaoL
What s*-nse of dcsiuiir in thla world can compare
With that of the waif iu Ute market of Claref
8o, on Saturday uighU, when my custom in
vit«*a
A stroll in old lioudon for curious sights,
1 am lively tu M ray lay a devlouH way
Where gootihw ar** spread in a motley array.
The things which some eyes would appear to
de?piae
Impress rae as pathos In home)v^lismitsa,
And my tattcrcxl wolf friend shall hare p-pnt-*
to spend,
So km* as I've got ’em (or friends that win
lend);
And the urchin shall share to my Joy and declare
That there's beauty and good In that market
place there 1

If one wants to gat a Hvaly sense of
what it means to rush through-space at
fifty or sixty miles an hour he must
fet on a locomotive. Then only does
ie begin to realise what trifles stand
between him and destruction. , A few
weeks ago a lady sat ati hour in the cab
of a locomotive hauling a fast express
train over a mountain road. She saw
the narrow bright line of the tails and
tho slender points of the switches. She
heard the thunder of the bridges, and
saw tho track shut in by rocky bluffs
and new perils suddenly revealed as
the engine swept around sharp curves.
Tho experience was to her magnificent,
but the sense of danger was most ap
palling. To have made her experi
ence complete she should haVe taken
one engine ride oa a dark and rainy
'night: yT' 1 -—- J ——
In a day fight, ride on a locomotive
we come to realise how slender is the
rail and how fragile JtaL fastenings
compared with the ponderous ma
chines which they carry. We see what
a trifling movement of a switch makes,
the difference between life and death.
We learn how short tho look ahead
must often be and how close danger
sits on either hand.. But ft js oulv iu
a night ride we learn how dependent
tlro-engiueer mustVe, after all, upon
the faithful .vigilancg of others. The
head light reveals a few yards of glis
tening rail and ghostly telegraph, poles
and switch targets. Were a switch
open, a rail taken up, or a pile of tie*
on tho track, we could not possibly see
the danger in time to stop.—JI. G.

pauy, told mo of a marvelous
use of steam which his company has
iwffT making; - Said he: -*‘I have
couUmded that steam could be
twice, but tlio engineers liave been
against me iu opinion. But it is de
monstrated now by practical opera
tions. From our station at Fifty-
eighth street and Madison avenue we
supply steam for 1,100 electric lights
at the Lenox Lyceum. This steam is
supplied to the engines at 130 pounds
pressure, and after it passes through
tho cylinders the exhaust is passed at
a pressure of sixty pounds into our
street mains, where it serves to run el
evators, heat houses, cook food and
perform such other functions as we re
quire of it
“The steam thus does its work twios
over. The saving is about 60 per cent.,
which is a clear net gain. Tory fsw
people know, although it is a fact, that
of tho steam that goes from a boiler
into au engine only about 15, or at
the most 20 per cent., is actually uti
lised to create power. The other 80 to
85 per cent, is exlisust and goes off
into the air, where it is wasted. Now
we have discovered that this waste
product can be made to serve just as
perfect a purpose as if it were made
fresh in a separate boiler. It means a
great revolution in the steam busi
ness.”—New York Press.
