(James Gardner; iu:le A -- a broker, Is liable to send his devoted mother to a premature grave unless he grows out of the habit he has of asking pointed questions incessantly. During a recent shower a 'large company was seated at dinner, when a crash of thunder came with startling suddenness. "What is that noise, mamma?" asked the little fellow. 'That's thunder, my child." "Who made; it, mamma?" "Why, God, my dear." Just then the rain began to pour down In torrents, when the youngster embarrassed his maternal guardian by inquiring: "Did God turn on the faucet, too?" Poor little Nell found her first sewing lesson a great trial. "Never mind," said Grandma Comfort, as. she kissed the pricked little fingers, "if at- first you don't succeed, dear, try, try again." After Nell said her prayers that night, "And please make ending as usual, with Nell a good little i girl," she paused a moment, and then iadded, encouragingly, "And if at first you don't succeed, God. dear, try, try again. Amen." Little Mabel, aged 4, came home from her first picnic a very tired little girl. "Did you have a good time, dear?"

One day during a violent thunderstorm a small boy Inquired where the lightning ' came from. Some one told him that "God holds the lightning In his hand, the thunder in his voice." Just at that moment there was a vivid flash. Quite; as quick ithat small boy exclaimed: "There! He's let go some , more!"

The road, as its name implies, is to be built under the sidewalk of the street, the space required being only eight feet in width by eight feet in hight. At the curb line a wall is laid from one end of the street to the other. Under the other side of the walk the curb wall is parallel with a stone foundation lor posts and a fence. On this foundation and on the base of the curb wall rails , are laid. Iron columns are set on the inner wall suporting girders level with the top ol the curb wall and marking the line between the sidewalk proper and the area space, A wire fence connects the posts and, separates the railroad from the area space. jThis space will be for stairways and entrances, to basements. With the curb-wal- l, "girders and bases of buildings for support, a prismatic walk is laid for the purpose of admitting light into the space below. Electricity is to be the motive power. The speed, the plan sets forth, will not be less than thirty! miles an hour, and may in some cases be as high as sixty miles an hour. One of the advantages claimed for the road is that It will convert the basements of buildings intc valuable property. This and other it is believed would make the property owners readily give their consent to the construction of the road. so-call- A perfeot fit guaranteed. Repairing ia all its branches.
