If locomotives could talk, as iludymd
Kipling 1ms recently huuponcd, they
could not only tell wonderful tales,
but the American locomotive would be
found to be quite a linguist, for he Is In
dally contact with utmost nil the !

To accomplish his purpos man has
put together some O.oOO parts and I.hh
called tho whole n loomotlve. It Is
claimed that tho first American -liu'lt
locomotive to bo tiut Into actual ser
vice was the "nest Friend," eonsttticteil
by K 1.. Miller for tho South Carolina
Ttallrcud company In 1S;V. since that
time one of our largest locomotive
works alono has turned out over Vi.ncn
engines. Last year (and It was a bad
year) the total number of loconiuthcs
built In the United State was 1.173,
which, at the averatce cost of about
J1O.00O each, ci $U,7r0,000, mokes a piet

countries, or over one- imilei of the
entire nuinlmr iiiamifartiiivel, and con
irlbutlns ?3,091.000 to balance trade In
our favor. The year betor- only 11 per
cent, of the American production was
exported. Improved bv the labor and
thought of the lnt mehanlcal minds
of the oce, the American locomotive
is making Ri-eat strides In the markets
of the world, where our sronto-a com
petitor is the Ihitlsh mnntitactur -r.

There Is no room for play of a poetic
IimiKinotlon in the picture of an Ameil-can-bul't
locomotive awakcnlns the
cchops of the holy land; but more lt -turesque
still have been the Incidents
conntcted with the use of American
engines in Russia. There are many
American visitors at the splendid cere
monies connected with the coronation
of the czar in April last ear. Hut It is
safe to say that hardly one of Hum
knew that all the tremendous crowds
which nere brought to Moscow at that
time on the Imperial railways wire
hauled by motive power hiiilt In Phil
adelphia. It Is a picture of magnificent
light and shade. The coronation cere
monies weie the very svmbol of all
that is left In this letter civilisation
of the dark ages. Rut when the nuto
rmt of all th- Russian called tor his
s-ubjecls, who are yet almost serfs, to
come and pay him homage, they could
not have come had It not been for the
work of the free-born American wdrk
Ingman. LOCOMOTIVES FOR THE tV,AR.
Even as It was, Russia had a narrow
escape of being short of engines to haul
the crowds. It was not until well on lu
January of last year that the Imperial
government dlscoveied that thev had
not locomotives enough to handle the
throngs that would be coming to Mos
cow in April. There were no shops in
Europe that could undertuke to furnish
cnglne In the time leqtilrcd. The gov
ernment cabled to the Haldwln Loco
motive works of Philadelphia, asking
If they could build and deliver thirty
two locomotives in Russia by Am 117.
The Philadelphia firm replied that they
would not assume the risk of the sea
vovnge, but that they would build the
machines and undertake to have them
rc.iriy for shipment by fast steamer
from this side by April 1. The terms
were accepted; hut time had been lost,
and It was not until Jan. i!0 that the
order was was finally received to "go
ahead." Hetween Jan. iO and April I
fay forty days there is not much
time In which to build thlrtr-two engine-:
but the Raldwin Locomotive
AVorks are In the habit of doing things
after a fashion which cm many occa
sions has astounded foivign locomotive
builders. Hy March 1 sixteen engines
were ready for shipment. Ily -March
15 the entire order was completed and
Ifaxetl, being twenty-five dajb from
the receipt of the order. A larue
steamer, the Strnthcalru, had been
chartered to take the englti.'- ovei and
was to sail from this side not later
than April 1. When everything was
ready, evcept the steamer, the cm urn .
'King news was received thai tin
strnttu-alrri. which ought to hav
been arriving In Philadelphia, had run
her nose on a rock and had put Into
Halifax for repiir-, which would take
at least a month to complete. Then
there was some hustling on this side of
the water. Finally two other boats
were uenircd and, thanks to an Anu-rl-c-in
firm's ability to do ivli.it all tho
rest of the world thought Imi-osslblc.
there were engines enough In Russia to
bring everybody who wanted to travel
to Moscow, even if there was not much
accommodation for them when they
got then.

Spanish service in Cuba. The loconio

with steel shutters to the cab. etc., to

by the fact that she had not been run

can builders had got good money for
the engine.
The business which American loco
motive builders have done In foreign
countries during the last two or three
years of hard times has, of course,
been of considerable assistance to them
Individually. It has also been of great
help to the United Slates In furnishing
labor nt a period when domestic busi
ness was almost dead. Even these
facts, however, are comparatively un
important beside the much greater fact
that locomotives of American make
have during these two yeais secured a
foothold In countries where they had
been comparatively unknown, and In
sullltletit numbers to admit of an in
telligent comparison being made be
tween their ucrformiince and tli.it of
their English predecessors. The con
ditions of roadbed, which are responsi
ble for many Important differences be
tween English and American locomo
tive construction, ate In most of these
foreign countries so much more like
those prevailing lu tlilf, .ountiy than
those of England that the result of n
reasonable trial may well be a mutter
of confident prediction.
INTRODUCED INTO JAPAN.
From a purely technical point of
View, In the eves of railway men and
locomotive builders the most interest
ing engines which have been built In
this country for foreign use are pro
bably those which have been exported
to China nnd Japan And the story of
their introduction to those countries, if
It could be written In full, would be a
wonderful one. In Japan, the chief
dlfllcultles which railways have hnd to
contend with have been earthquakes.
Japanese aicli'ltecture has consisted
chielly of bamboo and paper, and when
an earthquake came alotiK It used to
find these materials rather dlsappolnt
Inr to deal with. Hut railways cannot
be built of bamboo and paper. They
have to have solid roadbeds and mas
sive bridges with stout abutments.
These things relolced the soul of the
earthquake, and. from time to time, ho
has had great fun with them.
In China the obstacles to the intro
duction of the railways were of another
kind. The first piece of track that was
laid produced, firstly, a plague; second
ly, an eclipse of the sun. and, thirdly,
a blighting of the rice crop through
succession, while the track was being
laid by the "foreign devils." Was It not
evident that the railway caused them?
Therefore, the people rose and tore up
the track, killed a native minor olll
clal or two and hunted the foreign dev
ILi to such an extent as they weie able
to set at them. There Is every pros
pect, however, that from now on the
development of u Chinese railway sys
tem will proceed rapidly, and while
Russians, llelgluns, Hermans and Eng
lishmen are all straining every nerve
to catch the Hade that is eonilns. It l.
more than probable that American lo
comotive builders will gel at least their
share of the buslnei-s.
(5REAT BRITAIN SUFFERS.
Recent United States consular ie
ports, especially from our consuls In
Great Hiitaln, have made not Infre
quent reference to the grow Ing uneasi
ness which Is felt in England over the
competition of American manufactur
ers In fields wljlch the self-satisfied
Ilrltish manufacturer has heretofore
complacently considered his own per
sonal propel tv. Adaptability to the
wants of a customer has always been
the American manufacturer's strong
point. For this reason the engines built
here lu our own locomotive works for
China or Japan bear small resemblance
to the grand monsters that hurl up
across the continent here nt home. They
ate rather In our eyes the production
of earlv times, when men were expert
nientlng In locomotives; but that Is be
cause the Japanese and Chinese cus
tomers, for whom the engines are built,
want those particular machines. The
English manufacturer has a preference
for making the oriental take the en
slum thai he himself wants to build.
Tin English locomotive Is as unmis
takably unexcelled In Its aptitude for
the absorption ot details. The Japan
anese are by no means fools, and their
emtliieeis have a pretty accurate know
ledge of what is demanded in the con
struction of u locuinotlve to lit the pe
culiar natural conditions nf the coun
ti y. They prefer to submit their own
general specifications, with a reasonable
assurance that they will be carried out
consistently lrom the beginning, but
when they buy In England thev havi
found that there Is no assurance that
this will be done. To American loconio.
tlvo builders, on the other hand, It In
immuteiial what kind of designs ate
lequlrcd by their foreign custoiueis,
so long as thej get the business.
EXTENSION OF TltADE.

piesldi-nt of the company, in reply to
un inquiry from tho wilier, expresses
himself as follows:
"We belb-ve If the ptoper efforts are

The American public has many
grluvnnccs against Its railroads, but In
many particulars the American ral'
wny is unquestionably the finest In the
world. Travelers from Europe say that
rates of fare are lower In this country
than elsewhere, and that the passenger
gets much more comfort. Whether thin
Is so or not. It Is certain that American
Ingenuity has developed the arts of car
and locomotive building in many pnr
Hculais to a point far ahead of any
thing that has been attained in any
other country. The fact Is gratifying
tei I he lintlounl pride, but oven more
pleasant In some material aspects Is
the fact that one of the Immediate re
sults had been considerable protlt to
the national purse. The splendid be
ginning of the Inst two yeais Is only a,
beginning. American locomotives have
found their way into the different coun
tries, and they are now at work prov
ing th'emselvi s. There has yet tei be .i

or the Orient In which the American

now having an opportunity to satisfy
themselves nf this fact, nnd the en

experienced the utmoct concern for tho
people who had been broiiKht to Christ
by his ministry, lie did not trouble him

nJolce (I. Corlnthlans.l. 4-."). When
present he spoke not In their public as
sembles only, but from lioue to house.
(Acts, xx, lio.) When absent he prayed
and wrote letters, substitutes for oral
instruction, all burdened with tin- in-te-iiho
desire of his Kieat heart. (Homans,
I. .) The ruiitfi- of Hie apostle's thought
i toward the church Is remarkable. He

1IAUMONY. The let-son today opens
with tin iirKCut plea for the concord of
the ciiiistian brethren. (Verses t anil 2.)
Tht'lei U perhaps In human lmih'ouKc no
more" pathetic pleuelliiK than that which
he makes with the l'hllllplans on lids
subject, lie ele-clares that his Joy would
be full if they were' ill accoul, of one
mind. He lirliiRS them up to that asser
tion by four considerations the consola
tion In iMirist, the coniforl of love, the
iellowshlp of the spirit, the meicles anil
lender reuunla of the Rospel, belns to
him thu hlKhcfct, and. Indeed, the only
sources of elediuht. One who hael kivii
himself to tin ministry at the loss of nil
other things (Phil. Ill, S). as ho hud done
longed for the sweet nnd holy satisfaction
that conies through brotherly love. And
no wonder, for that was pi oof of the
new life (I. John. Ill, 14). while strife; is
an unfailing evidence of remaining t-ln
(James, Iv. 1) or the ascendancy of the
carnal over the spiritual nature. (I. Cor
luthiuim. III. 4.) How frequently doea
Paul In other places (Hebrews, xlll. 1)
commend this beautiful trait of brotherly
love (Psalm cxxxlll. 1) and deplore Us ab.
sence. (I. Coilllthluns, xl. 1VJ

this harmony? Docb It come and depart
without hldellng or citune? May It lie

answers. (Verse 3.) Its chief enemy Is
vain glory, an exalted estimate nf one's
opinions and prerogative's. Tills leads to
self-assertion, the resentment of sup
poseel injuries und strife. There Is but
one remedy for this refrain from all ac

l.UlaiiH. v. ) Still, how shall the tsjiirit
of vuln glory, always causing trouble, he
dislodged from the heart? It Is hardly
enough to curl) It. Why, cultivate the op.
poslte spirit, lowliness of mind, that dis
position that prefers others In honor.
(Homans, xll, 10.) Tills humility Is of
slow growth generally. In some more
than others. It will be noticed that tho

ANOTHER REAUTIFUL FAURIC
Is beaded white chiffon, for fronts or

of humility be much- to take Its place'.'
Looking more deeply Into the heart for
the springs of being, the apostle answers
(vi'rse 4) men must be unseltlsh. They
must not make their own welfare, their
reputation, e-ase and profit, their only
concern. They must regard the Interests
of others. (Itomitns, Nil. 13.) They must
feel thai lu a si'iise they are keepers of
others, the- very opposite of that spirit
which dominates the unholy man. (Oen.
Iv, Si.) It was this principle which Jesus
sought to unfold In the parable of the
good Samaritan, (l.uke sc, 34.) It makes
every man the servant of every other
man (.flul. vi. 10) no matter what tho po
sition of the other, but enjoins in par
ticular that they who bear burdens shall
be helped dial. vi. 'D by those' who arc
strong. (Homans. xv, 1.) Said the lovely
Caspcis, 'i am the servant of nil those
who need me, to carry their loads and
ease their cares." "Who Is weak and I
am not weak?" said Paul. (II. Corinth

OHKDIUNCH. This humiliation of
Christ had a Bccrct. a source or spring.
It was not without purpose or signific
ance: neither was It limited by personal
Inclination. This Is shown lu the eighth
verse. Iiu was cHiitrollcd by the spirit
of ohi'dlenco to u mission, lie had been
sent on an errand which required self
abnegation for the sake of others. (John,

plishment of that work Ho hesitated not
in the presence of danger, hiinUhlps or
sncrlllce. He did not shrliu. at the eight
of eleath, even the death of the cross.
That was part of tho tent of His obedi
ence as well as a pari ot IIU work to he
accomplished. (Hebrews, v, 8.) In this
passage the apostle has opened tho very
heart ot the Son ot (od to make men
know what motive prompted when Ho
came Into the world to do, to suffer, to
die, and to muko then understand some
the more practical length. For after

Form tho Chlcaso Record.
One of the United States Poat-otUee
Inspectors assigned to duty on West
ern star routes tells nn Interesting
story explaining why postal routes,
supplied by couriers on horseback or
by stage, came to be designated "star
routes."
Years ago three woids found place
on the records of the Post-olllce. They
were "Certainty," "Celerity" and "Se
curity." Up to ISIS no contrnet for
carrying the mall was let unless t lie
bidder made known the manner In
which he proposed to carry It. There
was an understanding that bidders
who ran stages should have the Inside
track. Hut Congress knocked out this
practice by enacting a law by which
contracts were to be let to the lowest
bidder, without taking Into considera
tion the manner In which the mall
was to be carried from one place to
another, stipulating only that It must
be handled with certainty, celerity and
security.
After that the Post-cilllce clerks
classified such bids as certainty,
celerity and security routes. The use
of this four-worel designation became
so common that the clerks cast a'out
for some appellation easier to write,
and they hit on the plan of substitut
ing three stars ( ,) and from this
Incident the pony and stage coach
lines became known as our s,tar routes.

Exaltation,
thing of Ills humility which should bo
iinltuted by all who seek to follow Illm.
KKCORD. All answer may In now
made to the question: "Is such humility
profitable? Does a man gain or lose bv
self-abnegation and horvltutlc?" Paiil
turns to Christ for the reply (verse !0.
He who thus laid his gletry aside has
been again crowned with glory anil hon
or, (lie-brews. II, !i.) He lias ascended to
the highest place lu the heavenly worlel
(Kphcsluns. 1. 21). far above ull principal
ity and power. He has received " a namo
which Is above every name." more slg
nlllcant and honorable tliuu any other
name In heaven or In earth. (Hetiiows, I,
I.) This namp Is not merely the- title by
which ho Is known, although In that sense
He surpasses all other beinKt'. tor He
has us many titles as theie are letters In
the alphabet, .mil e-aeb of thein expresses
some noble. quality or ofllcc; but the ex
pression, name, Is to be uiiderstooil In its
oriental sense, as deslgi alius dignity and
e'Xe'ellence. Je's.itu Is above all o'lln m,
unrivalled and alone In honor, (tied. I 9.)
KKVKHHNOH.-The last thought In Ihe
last paragraph Is elahoiated In vcrgei 10
nml 11. The apostle ascerts that Jesus
shall receive the weii'hhtp of all cieated
Intelligences, lu heaven, in earth, under
the earth, as foretold by the' prophet
(Isaiah, xlv. 23.1 That worship nhall be
paid on bended knee, the attitude as
Minii'd by ull Inferiors lu the piv.-t nee of
superiors, denoting subjection anil hu
miliation. (Mark x. 17.) The worship
shall he utlcndci by the confession that
Jesus Is l.oiel, that Is the Jehovah of tho
Old Testament, (flen. II, 7.), the ona
promised from the beginning, the coven
ant keeping one K.c. III. 5), a confession
that shall glorify a oil by acknowledging
and publishing Ills faithfulness, (l.ukei
I. S-70.) This worship and confession will
not be extorted, as from those who tur
the consequences of withholding It. but
It will he the glad, epoiitaneous outburst
of hearts (Luke, xlx. IIS), of those who
luivo recognized tho glory of Jesus Christ
and who deal re to pay Illm honor. (Hev.
xlx, 1.)
CONCLVSION.-The apostle made Biih
a Hiiddeu transition from the practical
and perceptive purl of the leeson to tho
eloctilnal ami preellctlvc taut one Is in
danger of losing the drift of his thought.
Ho elcslri'd brotherly love in the Philip
plan church and In oreler to that urged
humility. Assuming that sonic would bo
slow to uocc.pt his advice, h shoves the
humility of JeMib, as the governing quai
Ity of his character, und then portray.
the futute exaltutleiii that will result from
His humiliation. Tho argument is com
plete and Irresistible. See Ihe man of
ilalllee, going ahout dolus good, with no
homo or honor (Malt vill, 20), blessing all
whom He mei. See him now on the me
diatorial throne, drawing ull men unto
Illm. (John xll, 33. See Him aguln when
the agca liavo pat-ped and His work la
elone. (Ilejv. vil. S-12.) Humility Is profit
able. It Is tho price to be paid for houois.
(Luke xlv. II.) It Is the condition of con
cord among men and angels. tPualm cxv,
1.) Out of it Hows a pciinnlal slrcam ot
pure love, that binds hearts in hlesseel
unity. When men behave Chilst-llke,
tlu live together in peace.
