' Hardly a week goes by," says a parlor-car porter, 'that I don't eee a bridal couple just starting: on their honeymoon..' I don't exactly, know how I can tell them, but they . are at plainly marked to my eyes as if they had the words 'bride.' and , 'bride .groom stamped in big letters on their foreheads. There Is something about them that gives the whole situation away a kind of cling-next-to-me-darling air. Of course, I had made a mistake now and then, but it, is very seldom I do, and I've often found out, after changing my mind two or three times, that I . was right after all, though certain : appearances , were against it We have one test which never falls, and when a doubtful par ty comes we try it on Ihom, just to bo sure, you know.11 What's the test?'1 '... . "Well, I'll tell you. Not many weeks ago a couplo got into the' cur and sat down very quietly, as if they had been used to it all tbeir , lives. These didn't seem to hare the bride and bridegroom air about them at all, and from external appearances they might have been brother and sister, or married for years, but still there was something there that made me suspicious, so when I saw them to gether I went to the newsboy, and I says: 'Bill, here's a double party; get out the sample copies.1 So Bill got his tests and walked through the car. . lie offered books or newspapers to everybody, and wben he came to the suspected party he took out of his pile two little books . and said, so that nearly everybody could hear him: 'Very useful books, sir; hints on housekeeping and hints to newly married people. Only 25 cents.1 ' That did it. The girl got as red as a rose, nud the man blushed and said a weak BOrt of 'N-n-n-no.1 Then they looked at each other and sort of sniggered, and I caught him full in the eye and smiled a sweet smile, giv ing him a respectful wink at the same time. It was all settled in a minute; there was no doubt about it. There aro plenty of other ways by - which I can spot a bride and bride groom, and they are as safe generally as the test. y . "The custom of throwing1 rice after a bridal couple always makes it un pleasant for the party,, as lots of rice is almost sure to stick to their clothes, hat, and in their hair.1,1 "Why do you take such pains to find out whether they are newly mar ried or notP" , . - ' "Oh. when they see we tumble to It we generally get a good tip just for luck, you know.11 Kewapaper Women. A New York editor speaks thus en couragingly to women:;' "la a great many newspaper omces there is a prejudice against women. Why this is so I do not know. I have employed them for a number of years, and have always found them to be pains taking, accurate, ' and reliable. In many cases I have found that women do certain kinds of newspaper work more satisfactorily than men can, and vice versa.11 , . , . "One of the best Washington cor respondents lever knew was a wo man.; She was keenly alive to all the exigencies of dally newspaper work, was quick L of wit, a splendid news gatherer, and during the Garfield campaign and the subsequent compli cations that arose from his death, was an Invaluable aid to me. ., I have em ployed women In office work in news paper with considerable satisfaction, and In numberless coses I have found ttiat they could do some kinds of re porting far better than men. it is a mUtuke to think that women are only lit to write fashion articles. The edi tor of one of the great Sunday pews pttpers of New York Is a woman. And she not only manages, to keep her pa per in full touch with the tiroes, but she often leads in public thought and opinion. V I think the day is coming when women will do a large propor tion of newspaper reporting. - In near ly all the big cities they are now . do ing a little of it.

They will be brought into competition with men, . to be sure, but I hare little doubt that they will be able to success fully hold their own." The Never o Ashu ? When a certain llterarv " ladv was asked -if she had ever known of , an old woman whose.' house 'did not . suit her, moving into a new barn, she answered, "No, I never knew of a easel exactly like that.11 Certainly, the handsome, new barns which adorn country places now with windows to set one dreaming directly of draperies to suit them, are quite enough to sug gest the story. ';But " 1( might easily be true, V says one . of . our readers.- Four women were talking over, the situation.: "I know a woman whose husband was 'well-to-do who always earned the money for her own clothes, because she hated to ask him for any money, and he was so stingy that he sever gave her a dollar; she always worked hard, too. It always makes me angry when' I think of it1, 4 'That reminds me of a case I knew of up in New Hampshire, 11 said a sec ond speaker. "The woman's husband was like Adonlram Penn in the story, only more 'set. No revolt , could reach his feelings and you know Ado nlram did show a little feetlng at the last. Well, the sister of this woman I am telling about was coming on from the West and they hadn't met for years and years, and I wrote for them both to come to our house and have a good visit together; they were both old friends of ours. The New Hamp shire woman's husband , put his foot down jshe should not come; he would give her "no money. 'for wild-goose chases,1 he said. Well, her heart was set on seeing her sister again, and she just got a tub of butter out of the houBe on the sly and sold it to get money to come to Boston with. Dear me! it did my heart good' to hear her speak her mind about that man. She was so mad, she said right out that she did hope she'd live ., to see him laid away. But he Isn't; , she hasn't had the handling of any money yet, poor thing." ''I knew a woman,11 began tho other two, but there was an inter ruption then. . A boy and a collie came in and there was a ' diversion from topics of revolt, but the boy's mother said,' "Women do so hate to ask for money. Remember that when you are married; my son.11'.

The Phllodelphiar-epglneer who de vised the plan for a railway motor to run on an improved railway -between New York and Philadelphia has set the whole world wondering. A picture of his proposed motor appeared recently in Thb Blade. His railway is to be limited entirely to passenger traffic and the tracks will be elevated the entire distance. It will be built as nearly straight aa possible and. there will be no perceptible grading. Electricity, will furnish the motive power for pro; polling the cars, and it is proposed to make but two stops between the cities the road is to connect ' '' : The average speed of the carl will be a hundred and. fifty miles per hour. Tbe time between New York and Phila delphia will be thirty-six minutes. This will include stoppages. The track will be so smooth tbat tho occupants of the cars will feel no jar while moving at the high rate of speed. As there will be no locomotive attached to the trains, there will be no smoke. 1 As the track will be elevated, there will be no dust entering the. cars. All danger of. accidents will be limited to the liability ' of the cars "to jump tbe track.1 It is . believed there will be no danger from that source. Should this road be con structed, it would probably produce a revolution in the transportation of pas sengers. ' It might cause the managers of all roads running through populous sections to elevate their tracks. This would secure speed and comfort and would tend to prevent all ordinary ac cidents. ' ' 'v v.vu:. The .time will probably come when freight and passenger trains will run on different tracks. Land on which to construct railroads is constantly be coming more valuable. The state, of affairs that renders sixteen-story build- ings economical in some of our cities, may make a two-story railroad profit able. Most of tbe persons who lose -their lives at railway crossings ar killed by passenger trains, for the rea son that they run at high rate of speed. , . - ' ' ' "... ,; Wrong Idea of Moral Tralalaa;.
