MeCORMICK, ENGLISH CARS IMPROVB) AMERICAN IDEAS PENETRATE THE BRITISH MIND AT LAST. Vestibule Trains, Dining and Corridor Cars, Bogie Trucks, Heavier Ralls, and Better Permanent Ways in Consequence. Till quite recently, English railâ€" way travel, if it could claim to be the fastest in the world, was by the nature of its rolling stock not the best adaptâ€" ed for comfort in longâ€"distance travelâ€" ling. But within the last nine months wonderful strides have been made in this respect, says the London Daily News. It is now just thirty years ago since Mr. Pullman formed his American Car Company, and devoted it toward orâ€" ganizing a system by which passenâ€" gerscould becarried in luxurious vehiâ€" cles, adequate to the wants of both night and day travel, and in which meals could be served en route. . The first hotel car was put into service on the Great Western Railway of Canada in 1867, and in a very short time became the standard type of vehicle on all the American roads. Impressed with their suitability for long journeys, Sir James Allport, the manager of the Midland Railway Company, in the year 1874 imâ€" ported from across the Atlantic a large stock of Pullman cars, some of which were converted into travelling restauâ€" rants and attached tothe principal exâ€" press trains from London to Leeds and Manchester. This spirited enterprise in the shape: of breakfast, luncheon, and dining cars ‘ immediately caught on, and so attracâ€" tive did they prove that it was not long before the Great Northern and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire railway companies had in selfâ€"defence to follow suit and to build some similar saloons at their own works for the compelitive traffic between the same points. _ But the Puliman car as & substitute for the ordinary English composite carriage never proved a sucâ€" cess; what the Americans term our "lonesome â€" stuffy compartments" still held their own in popular favor, but the public that rejected the day car grected with acclamation the advent of THE CORRIDOR TRAIN. Two or three years later, acting on the Midland‘s example, the London, Brightâ€" on and South Coast Company determinâ€" ed upon trying the same innovation, a train of Pullmans being brought over. at a fixed royalty and installed as a kind of service de luxe. _A breakfast car (in which smoking is permitted throughout) became the prominent atâ€" traction to the 8.45 a.m. season ticket express from Brighton. | 4 A. A lull then ensued, the novelty of the cars gradually wore off, but neverâ€" theless the trial was Eroving of very great value in another way. The smooth and easy action of the Ameriâ€" can cars carried upon their bogie trucks attracted general attention, the solid rigidity of our own fourâ€"wheeled and sixâ€"wheeled coaches was slowly admitâ€" ted to be a mistake, and in a short time the Wolverton and Swindon carriage shops were busy turning out longer vehicles mounted upon bogies, or ufi)on eight wheels, fitted with radial axles. The architecture of the stage coach, the original model on which all railâ€" way travel was founded, was beginning to give way, carrying with it the obâ€" solete rules and fashions of the ccoachâ€" ing days that even still remain in the byâ€"laws and regulations of our railâ€" Waky ~commpairbow.s ineenhc " .. T lssicl The directors of the London and North Western hesitated long before they committed themselves to these new, experiments. _ By the end of 1889 five pairs of twin saloons had been completâ€" ed at Wolverton, and commenced to work from London to Manchester and Liverpool. In the spring of 1890 the South Western Railwafi' Company addâ€" ed the attraction of "Pullmans" to its Bournemouth service ; and in the folâ€" lowing year the Great Eastern conâ€" structed some sixâ€"wheeled restaurant saloons for the convenience of passenâ€" gers travelling in the boat trains beâ€" tween Hurwh‘g and the north of Engâ€" land. The year 1892 saw the South Eastern Railway Company attempt to bring carriages on * THE AMERICAN PATTERN into greater populnrit{. Four drawâ€" mg room cars, a buffet car, and a smoking car, all built by the Gilbert Manufacturing Company at Troy, were shipped over to this country piecemeal in 600 packages, and then put together and mounted upon bogies at the comâ€" pany‘s works at Ashford. _ These cars are run on the Continental trains and on the Hastings service. The Great Western Railway Comgany celebrated the month of June, 1893, by exhibiting the first complete "corridor train ;" corridor carriages by themselves had for some two years previous been runâ€" ning on the east coast route to Scotâ€" land, but this was the first example of a train connected from end to end by flexible covered gangways that had appeared in this country. 6 ioh We now come to a very important era in the evolution of the English railâ€" way carriage. Up till 1898 there had been an earnest desire toward the imâ€" provement of rolling stock generally, and the better design and appointment of ca.rnages. but the arrangements of a travelling hbotel had only been thought requisite for the muhar conâ€" venience of merchants and iness peoâ€", ple journeying to and from commercial centres. _ Thirdâ€"class refreshment cars had long been talked about. The Midâ€" land Company first put the idea into practice when it announced that, comâ€" mencing from July, 1893, first and third class dining carriages would be run on their afternoon Scotch express. . The other two Northern companies replied with a similar notice; and thus the excellent corridor trains to the north were inaugurated. Last summer the Midland still further extended this eistem to th» morning ‘"Scotsman ;" and the North Western was at last inducâ€" ed to add luncheon and breakfast cars to the limited Irish mail trains, which, grlior to this convenience, might truthâ€" lly have been desgrihed) as tht:, m’qgt eR Cmths AEaVy . We ce in e wl ie s o tfiensive and most inadequately fitâ€" â€"up longâ€"distance erfr.esses in the United Kingdom. The Irish companies eom;‘;letod the connection by fproduc- ing first and second class breakfast cars to meet the mail boats on Kingston ECD + * This year‘s improvements, the magâ€" nificent dining cars and vestibule trains constructed for the Great Northern and North Eastern traffic, are not only lthgt have ever been constructed ln' this country, but are equal to the best | efforts of the great American car facâ€" | tories. _ The Great Western Railway | Company has been the last to give w?ly | to modern demands; it was not till | this May that a breakfast and lunchâ€" | ‘eon car was added to the new longâ€"disâ€" | tance South Wales express, leaving Cardiff at 9.53 a.m., and returning from | Paddington at 6.10 p.m. _ The order for | ; this car was only given on March 5, yet ‘ ‘ May 8 saw it emerge from the Swinâ€" don carriage works. Now that the | | thin end of the wedge has been insertâ€" | ied, we shall doubtless see the same ; facilities given to the west of England | | traffic. ds rikhts . .. 2 Ne P uigh l The increased weight of trains has necessitated the construction of larger and more powerful locomotives, and now the question bhas arisen, prompted by the recent disaster at Little Byâ€" tham, as to whether or not the Engâ€" lish permanent way is properly adaptâ€" ed for these new conditions. . Compariâ€" the main tracks, about the same rate | of speed. â€" The standard American perâ€" | manent way consists of flanged. rails, ‘ sixty feet in length, and weighing 90 pounds to 100 pounds per Â¥ard. which | are spiked to transverse sleepers laid ; so close togeth;er as to be almost conâ€" | tinuous. t is said that this system | gives far more elasticity, and . hence easier running, than does our rigid comâ€" | bination of bolts, chains, and wedges. | It is also noticed that trains make far | less noise in America. A short time | ago the New York Central had _ sent | over a length of standard North \V:sstâ€" | ern steel rails and all their appurtenâ€" ances. _ This was laid down by the side of their ordinary track and subjected to the same tests. In a very short time the English material proved useâ€" less, as the chairs were broken by the concussion of their heavy trains, both goods and passenger. It is proposed to imitate the American experiment, and to lay down a length of line of their materials and ballast it in accordance with their arrangements; as this is the only way in which the‘_truth can C AUE U Do INZTY WPTNPNETVTIIOCC L E sons b;:ve been drawn between â€" the former and the American system, which has to bear far heavier loads, and, on the only way in which Lo CiIUC! A"! be arrived at. Probably each party has something to learn from the other. It is obvious, since both the weight and speed of trains are showing such markâ€" ed sign of future increase, that no préâ€" cautions should be neglected, and it is only reasonable to demand that imâ€" provements in the permanent way outâ€" side should keep pace with the adâ€" juncets for luxurious travel within. ‘A story from across the water tells us that the German Emperor fell in love with his wife because of her beauâ€" tiful hands. This sounds well, and, whether it is true or not, will no doubt be an inspiration to lots of amâ€". bitious women to make the most of; shapely hands. 1 Very few women know what really pretty hands they possess. Firts, beâ€" cause they know not how to care for them; second, for the reason that they think they have not hands of _ very much consequence, and third, from careâ€" lessness in the use of hand coverings. A critic says: "Women become more sensible every day in regard to their hands. Young women used to squeeze and pinch their hands into gloves two sizes too small, but now there is a revyâ€" olution. They wear gauntlet _ gloves and actually put on gloves . that ~wrinkle." There are many good arguments to be brought forward anent the retire= ment of the tight glove. Women who play tennis, row boats, drive road wagâ€" gons, swim or wheel, can never return toa system of packing the hand and wrist intoa small space. The oldâ€"fashâ€" joned glove was an abomination. It made the hand red, shiny, greasy and awkward in â€" movement. Lt senouslfl | affected the nerves. _ It took away a |\ expression from the fingers and wrist, ‘and also minimized the usefulness of | one of the most delicate members of | the buman body. _ * s UITO MAUIIRRN TUCYC But the tight glove has gone and its funeral caused few tears to flow. Now that we have a large, generous, sha})ely glove decreed by fashion, we can afford to spend more time training the hand and wrist. This training should begin with the infant. A, child should never be allowed to sit with its fingers in its mouth. Such a bad habit _ ruins the shape of both the _ fingers and the mouth. Children should not be allowed to stretch, pound or move their fingers or joints out of shape. . The habit of "craching the joints‘" is yery bad, and disfigures a hand for life. Having brought the little daughter uxil to keep the hands neat, soft and white, she should be kept from scrapâ€" ing the nail with a pocket knife or a pair of scissors, from using acids on the nails and from biting them. All these things tend to detract from the natural beauty of the hands. § Casiile soap is about the best in the market for washing the _ _hands _ and wrists, and but very little of this is needâ€" ed in warm water._ Do not rub the hands vigorously. _ It irritates tl;e s'gll‘n MaRMMo TR UICCCOO L4 6. .2 000 o i and accomplishes very little good.

Another Mark of Progress in Raltroad Equipment. At last steel cars have been made. For years they have been regarded as the coming car, but owing to the high price of steel they were not thought to be economically possible until the twenâ€" tieth century. A great steel company, in order to show under the present conâ€" ditions the possibilities of steel in this but it was not a good one, and the othâ€" this material which are the first of their kind. They are to be exhibited around the country to railroad men, and if the idea takes thay will be conâ€" structed on a large scale in the fall. While the cost of a steel car will naâ€" turally be more than that of a wooden one, sufficient experience has already been acquired to warrant the statement that on a commercial basis these cars can be constructed at a cost not toexâ€" ceed that per ton of carrying capacity of wooden cars, and with a safety facâ€" tor in favor of steel. They have been tested with a load of wet sand and pig iron weighing one hundred and twentyâ€" lfl{fi thousand pounds» The use of steel will not be confined to freight cars, It is intended in the near future to build passenger cars of steel throughout, and thgs‘to. do.awax with the danger of splintering in railroad collisions Does Misss Gushington‘s father look with favor on your suit ?

The stems, when put into water, slough away, and soon give an unpleasant odor. There are two remedies which may be applied in this case; either one should put a mild disinfectant in the water and frequently change it, or cut off the ends of the stalks at short intervals. A good point to remember in gathâ€" ering flowers of the iris family, and indeed all succulent plants like the primrose, the snowdrop, the lily, and the poppy, is to pick them while still in the bud, as they will often suck up enough water to quite carry out their natural life. 7 j § TO PRESERVE CUT FLOWERS. The woman who wishes to enjoy the whole of the short life of her cut flowâ€" ers, instead of only a short portion of it, will not settle down upon any one undeviating method for preserving them, but will rather vary it according to the different causes which lead to 1 i t m P d e Advabenssâ€"Aniie nup dn Lilac, laburnum ,and azaleas require to have a piece of the bark stripped up and left hanging, and this, with the addition of a few leaves in the water will often keep them in quite a fresk condition for weeks. The bouquet which you have carried during an evening will be sure to reâ€" vive again, if you will spray it well with water and put it under a bell glass; and if you wish to wear flowers in your hair o ron your corsage, they may be made to retain their freshness for an entire evening by putiing a bit of sealing wax over the ends. The Rivers of England Are Recoming One Yast Cesspool. The sweet poet William Cowper is needed to sing the funeral dirge of Engâ€" lish rivers. About 50 years since I bad to pass a year in smoky Manâ€" chester. in 1800 the River Irwell, flowing through the town, had been a pure, pleasant _ stream, where _ fish abounded, as some old men could well remember; when I was there, it was a foul ditch of inky hue and loathsome smell. The legal business which I had in part to attend to in Manchester was the way in which some of the _ mill owners used the water of the canal passâ€" ing through the town, so that _ my thoughts were specially directed to river and canal pollutions. j 2 Ab 4 peat t Neiitt Ei C 9e Years have rolled on since then; facâ€" tories bhave largely increased in numâ€" ber, more and more of England‘s beauâ€" tiful rivers and country scenes have been fouled and blackened, _ but the worst features of all has beea thus the factorics have not only used the rivers for the legitimate purposes I referred to, but have made them the outlet of all their filthâ€"streams of muddy refuse,.
