ELECTRIC RAILROAD, Mew England Proposes to Ran ft Long One Into Canftdftt New En glanders "propose to get out of electricity all the good there is in it as a motive power. There are numerous waterfalls among their hills aUd moun­ tains, the force of which they propose to utilize in generating power to run a tailway from Haverhill, Mass., through 'to Quebeo, a distance of nearly 800 .. miles. If built, this road will be the moet picturesque in the world. The pro­ posed road will traverse the Whole of the White mountain region of New Hampshire, and after leaving it will strike into the wild and pioturesque ruggedness of the province of Quebec. Of the entire length of the road, 180 miles will be on the United States side of the interational boundary line, the remaining 100 miles being under the jurisdiction of the-Canadians. Little freight could be expected to pass over such a road, and the bulk of the passenger traffic would be confined <^to !.he Bummer months. Indeed, it is doubtful if such a road could be oper­ ated at all during the winter season. Possibly somebody connected with the enterprise may prove sufficiently ingen­ ious to provide some kipd of runner which could be exchanged for wheels and which could be operated by electric­ ity, so that the cars could glide over the euiface of the snow. It is said, though, that the road coukl bo buiit and operated so inexpensively that a good summer travel would be. sufficient to ;<? pay satisfactory returns on the outlay* The proposal to construct suoh a road is likely to arouse a good deal of inter­ est--Chicago Post.

Two cyclists met unex­ pectedly. The woman did not turn to the right, and the man ran straight into her wheel, upsetting both. They scram­ bled to their feet, righted their bikes, and glared at each other for.-half a sec­ ond. Then the man coolly slapped the woman's face, and jumping on his wheel, rolled away with lightning speed. An eyewitness of the scene was xmgal- lant enough to applaud the act, for, he said, it was deserved.--Boston Herald. A Symptom. He staggered t-o the door. "Your re­ fusal," he gasped, "will drive me in­ sane." She laughed mockingly. At the moment she treated his words lightly, but when upon the following day she saw him abroad-wearing a pink shirt she was startled and bethought her of hia fateful remark.
