RUN WAGONS BY TROLLEY.
Novel JHH)io<1 of Trn importation la
DI?placliiK the Home In
Germany.
With the Lombard-Gerin system our
readers, says the Scientific American,
are not unfamiliar. The system util
izes two overhead wires ? one positive
and one negative. Instead of driving
the vehicles entirely by motors con
nected with the axle, an auxiliary de
vice called an "automotor trolley" is
used which runs along the overhead
wires. In other words, the vehicles
are towed along by a self-propelled
motor trolley. The towing trolley is
driven by a three-phase induction mo
tor suspended between two conduct
ing trolley wirei?. The motor is car
ried in a frame which also has bear
i) gs for the two trolley wheels. Mo
tion is communicated to the trolley
wheels by the revolving field of the
motor.
The current is fed to the trolley
motor from the omnibus motor,
which latter may be regarded as a
combined rotary transformer and di
rect-current motor. The trolley mo
tor travels with a speed somewhat
in excess of that of the car itself.
From this peculiar arrangement of
catising it to lead the way, as it were,
the Frenchmen have termed the auto
trolley "the blind man's dog."
The Lombard-Gerin system has
been tried on a line extending from
the village of Samois to Fontaine
bleau, a distance of about five kilo
meters. On this line the car or om
nibus is driven by a double motor
operating at a tension of 500 volts
direct current. The time taken for
the journey is about 20 minutes. The
total energy used is 543 kilowatt
hours, or 60-foot kilowatt hours per
car kilometer.
It is stated tbat the low expense
of equipment for a line of this char
acter renders it of particular value
for country districts, where an ex
pensive track construction would bo
prohibitive on account of the small
amount of traffic.
Smallest British Coin.
In the .British crown colony of
Hong-Kong- a coin is in circulation
known as the "mil-." This is a tiny
copper coin with a hole in the cen
ter, intended to take the place of the
Chinese "cash," which is one-fifty
third of a penny, and is in general
use among the coolies in the colony.
The mil is one-tenth part of a cent,
one-one thousandth part of a dollar,
and as the silver dollar in use in
Hong-Kong- is at present worth about
40 cents, it follows that the "mil" is
worth about one-twenty-fifth part of
a cent. This, therefore, is the value
of the smallest British coin. Another
minute British coin is the Maltese
"grain," which has been issued re
cently in Malta; six of these go to a
cent. It is such a pretty little coin
that it has attracted the notice of
tourists, and is already at a premium.
It can scarcely be obtained now ex
cept at the rate of live to the cent,
a serious difference in the eyes of the
frugal Maltese. ? Stray Stories.

THE SUCCESSFUL HOSTESS.
Qualities That Arp Eimrntltil to ilie
One Wfjo Would lie 11 J'op
ular Entertainer.
It takes much talent to be a good
entertainer. The qualities that go to
make up the successful hostess are
various, and it "would be difficult to say
which is the most essential one.
One indispensable quality of a good
entertainer is to appear, and, if pos
sible, realty- to feel, interested in the
things that her visitors discuss. This
quality is also a requisite of the fasci
nating and popular woman, says Amer
ican Queen.
However entertaining you may be.
you should not lose sight of the fact
that others may also want to air their
talents in the conversational line, and
you should give them a chance.
There is nothing more exasperating,
besides being downright bad form, as
to listen in an abstracted, slightly im
patient manner and begin at once your
story before the words are fairly out
of your visitor's mouth. Listen atten
tively, interestedly, and do not show
that you are waiting for one to finish.
Another phase of impoliteness is to
anticipate the point of an anecdote or
to announce that you have "heard it
before in a different way." Such
breaches are really unkindness and
would never be committed if you cul
tivated the faculty of putting yourself
in the other's place. You like atten
tion; you like to tell your story and
draw your point ; you like appreciation
of your stories. Why not accord to
others these privileges?
While assuming an interest in oth
ers. do not also assume that others are
interested in all that appeals to you.
If everybody followed this suggestion
the problem would he solved in a trice.
It requires much tact and discrimina
tion in selecting topics for all degrees
and shades of thought. Do not talk
above the heads of people just to air
your own ideas. Many people do this
to make an impression, but the im
pression they do make is usually just
the opposite of the one they expected
to make.
Remember that when you do not en
tertain you bore, and do not, out of a
desire to eclipse others, run the risk of
such an infliction.
SELF-POSSESSED WITNESS. I
The Croas-E'inminrr Tlionitht He Had
Him. Ilut Wax Cleverly
Eluded.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle told at
the literary dinner recently given to
him in London of his experience as a
juror in his youth, says the New York
Times.
"1 once served on a jury out of
curiosity," he said, "and what most
impressed me in that business was
the highhanded manner of the cross
examinations. There was one wit
ness, though, a dentist, whom no
browbeating' cross-examiner could
disturb.
"This dentist was being questioned
about a certain woman.
" 'Did you ever have any difference
with the lady?' the opposing- lawyer
asked.
" 'No, sir.' replied the dentist.
" 'Now, attend. Didn't you make
her a set of teeth once?'
"'Yes, sir.'
"'Didn't she return them?*
" 'No, sir.'
"The lawyer glared. Then he re
sumed :
" 'But you admit, don't you, that
later on she had another set made by
another dentist?'
" 'Oh, yes, 1 admit that,' said the
witness.
"'Ah! You admit that. And the
lady is wearing that other set now,
is she not?'
" 'Yes, she is wearing it.'
"'And she has discarded your set?'
" 'No.'
"'What? Do you mean to tell me
she is wearing both sets at the same
time?'
" 'Yes, I do.*
"'Pooh! Nonsense! How can that
possibly be?*
" 'Why, one is a lower and the other
is an upper set,' said the dentist."

An Odd Shirt Wadst.
An odd shirt waist which is sure
to appeal to the girl who loves things
original is made of linen, with
stitched linen straps in a contrasting
color as the trimming. The waist
itself is severely plain, but across the
bust and half way below it and the
waist line there are five slashes just
large enough for a stit<Jied linen
band to be run through. A shirt
waist made in this unique style was
of white mercerized linen, each strap
finished with a narrow blue cotton
fringe. The straps were fastened at
the neck and shoulders of the waist,
and then were drawn through the
two slashes. The upper part of the
sleeve was slashed in the same way
as the front of the waist, and one
strap was used as the decoration. ?

About Famous Structure.
OVER CENTURY OLD.
Owners of the HouseSand some {Details as

ing .History? The Kearny-Smith) Home
steac*.
It has been rather a surprise to the
writer that so little comment has
been elicited by the burning of the
Kearny-Smith house at Perth Amboy
than which no more interesting resi
dence existed in this vicinity or to
which clings more of historic senti
mental interest nor wheie perhaps
were to be fonnd more of those an
tiques so highly sought after at the
present time, or again more valuable
historic documents in the way of
correspondence.
In fact Mrs. MoEnight Smith, one
of the daughters of the original pro
prietor has made a family tree of
inestimable valne. In the earlv days
of the last century James Kearny
Esq., came from Cnracoa and married
Miss Parker, sister of Hon. James
Parker (who donated the campus to
Rutgers College), and then built what
has been known as the Kearny house
and which stands now in front of that
spacious and beautifnl'square known
as the City Park, and there the
house has stood for over a hundred
years in the occupanoy of th&t one
family.
James KearLy's sister married
John G. Warren, a New York banker,
and thus the house became the cher
ished nucleus of the Warrens, the
Parkers and the Kearnys.and also Gort
landt, Parser wl o for four soore years
or more has never lost his ohildhood
love for the old placp, and to none,
we venture to say, will the news of
the destruction bring a more poignant
regref.
The house has subsequently came to
the possession of Mrs. MoKnight
Smith, one of the]daaghters, and one
of whose daughters there resided up
to the time of the destruction. It
was unpretentious 0<s to a s lecture,
but beautiful as to sitnation -Vl ?nr
rounded by a large garden, was most
attractive. Embowered in ancient
oaks and elms with a great open area
in front, the whole was accentuated
by its great afie. I
It was, as before remarked, the nu
cleus for botli young and old of Jthe
family connections ; indeed, that rose
embowered porch with its quaint
wooden Beats is ever present in our
memory, as of a balmy summer even
ing the young people were wont to
assemble there and sit and talk and
make love to their heart's content, to
th9 cadence of the breeze murmuring
through the thick foliage, from whose
parting leaves occasionally there were
glints of the moonlit river.
It was a dangerous hour for young
lives, in fact many a troth was plight
ed there and afterwards cemented be
fore the altar of old St. Peter's, whose
spire then gleaming in the beams,
now rests its shadows aslant those
whilom lovers' graves.
Perth Amboy 's society, made up of
a few old families, was very exclu
sive, of ancient lineage but of decreas
ing wealth. There were the Kearnys,
the Parkers, the Meads, the Ogdens,
the Bentons, the Lawrence Kearnys,
the Bruens, and among them many a
lovely bua who found her fate neath
the shade of t le multiflora which trel
lised the Kearny porch, but over
whose grave the myrtle now wreaths
a'shroudjof perpetual creen. T. R.
