NEWS OF RAILWAYS.

The Grand Trunk Railway shops at Point St. Charles have been one of the busiest parts of this great railway system during the year 1899. Full time has been the rule, and a large number of engines and cars have been turned out, as well as repairs having been made on hundreds of cars. In the car shops the following rolling stock has been built, and put in operation, during 1899: Two magnificent composite cafe-parlor cars, composed of drawing room, seating twelve persons, a dining room to accommodate the same number, buffet and smoking rooms, with large and commodious separate toilet rooms for ladies and gentlemen. Those cars are part of the fast day expresses running between Montreal and Toronto, and since their inauguration have been much appreciated. Luncheon is served in the dining compartment any time during the day, thus obviating the necessity of passengers leaving train for refreshments while en route between the two cities, and enabling the Grand Trunk to save a considerable amount of time in the run, the distance now being made in a little over eight hours.
Several first-class modern coaches of the 800 series were built, and are running over different parts of the system. These coaches have been praised by all who have seen or traveled in them, and they are the finest first-class cars on the continent, being made without regard to cost, and with every detail throughout for the comfort and ease of the traveling public. In addition to these, two composite second-class and baggage cars were also built and added to the rolling stock.
Other cars turned out of the Montreal shops were 230 box, 200 flat, 153 coal,—all of a capacity of 30,000 tons,—and 50 cinder cars.
On the middle division two of the latest and most approved dining cars replaced those of a more ancient pattern, and these cars are the admiration of the most fastidious. They are beautifully fitted throughout, and the interior decorations are of handsome designs, without any gaudy effect. Meals are served on these cars a la carte.
Among the repairs that have been done in the Point St. Charles shops the following are of interest: 916 passenger cars and 4,572 freight cars; 3,240 freight cars were equipped with M. C. B. automatic couplers and Westinghouse air brakes. All the new passenger equipment is fitted with Pullman wide vestibules, standard company's platforms and buffing arrangements. They are also complete with all the latest conveniences and safety appliances known to modern ingenuity.
From the motive power shops situated at Point St. Charles, the following engines were built and placed in service: six ten-wheel large passenger locomotives, six eight-wheel large mogul locomotives for hauling freight, and ten locomotives of smaller type. In addition to these the Grand Trunk purchased from the Baldwin Company Locomotive Works ten compound consolidation freight engines, which are now in operation on the different divisions of the system.
At the present time the motive power shops are in the throes of a busy season, and hundreds of men are to be seen working on the 24 large mogul locomotives, which are now in course of construction.
The Grand Trunk Railway of Canada has adopted the new Miller cushion truck brake, for use on its passenger rolling stock. The improved appliance will be attached to through trains service stock at once. The Grand Trunk Railway is the first system in America to take up the patent, which is said to materially facilitate the easy running of fast express trains.

“Good Form and Christian Etiquette”

BY MRS. S. M. I. HENRY.
In this volume is expressed the ripened thought of the author’s many years of experience in Christian work, testing the grand principles of Good Form and Christian Etiquette that were woven into her life and labors, which not only opened the doors of the homes of the people for her admittance, and made her their welcome guest, but was the key in her hand to unlock the heart of the hardened sinner.
How to acquire good form and be yourself perfectly natural and at ease in your own home or the home of your friend, at your own table or the table of your friends, at church or the social gathering, public or private, in the countingroom or in the business office, on the street or on the railway train, is a question that concerns every person, regardless of station in life, be he old or young, rich or poor.
The “Good Form” of the business or professional man of the world must be as faultless as his full evening dress. Christians can not afford to be less careful socially than worldly people. Ye are living epistles, known and read of all men. The world judges you by your words and actions. Polite manners are the first requisite to the entering of good society. Without good manners you will never be admitted to the society of heavenly angels.
“Good Form” is not a book of rules to be committed for any special occasion, but contains principles to be woven into your character for eternity.
After April 1, the price of the 15-cent book will be 25 cents, and the 25-cent book will cost 50 cents. These prices will be subject to subscription book discounts, as the book will be sold largely by our canvassers.
The work contains 150 pages; purple felt cover, orange title; price, 15 cents. Blue, flexible cloth, gilt top, 25 cents, postpaid. Remember that after April 1 the prices will be 25 and 50 cents respectively.

WORDS OF COMMENDATION.

I am much pleased with the little booklet “GOOD FORM AND CHRISTIAN ETIQUETTE.” Its pages are replete with good advice on subjects of everyday interest. Christian courtesy is one of the most necessary qualifications of the Christian worker, and I feel sure this latest of Mrs. Henry’s works will prove a timely help to parents in bringing up their children; to our young people in their associations with others; and in fact to everyone who desires to so equip himself that his bearing shall have the true dignity of Christian refinement. MRS. E. E. KELLOGG, Supt. Child Culture Circles, World’s W. C. T. U.
I have examined it with great care and interest. It is certainly a very practical contribution to the literature on etiquette. Most books on this subject are too elaborate and have too much of the fashionable society air, but this one meets the needs of common people, and I am sure they will thank Mrs. Henry for this effort to help them in making life’s pathway pleasanter and easier. MARY WOOD-ALLEN, M. D., Supt. Purity Dept. World’s W. C. T. U.
“Shall be more than glad to use every right endeavor to give “GOOD FORM AND CHRISTIAN ETIQUETTE” as wide a circulation as possible, for association with young people for years has given me opportunity to see something of their needs, and enables me to appreciate, in some degree, at least, how this work of Mrs. Henry’s will be of service to them. J. W. LOUGHHEAD, Principal Mt. Vernon (Ohio) Academy.
“GOOD FORM AND CHRISTIAN ETIQUETTE” is certainly a novelty in its line. It is a neat little volume, written in a pleasant, simple, and dignified style, and through its pages are displayed a knowledge of the world and the kindliness of a mother’s heart. The author is Mrs. S. M. I. Henry. Her aim is to tell boys and girls how to act as becomes gentlemen and ladies. Her aim, however, is not to make them martinets, but to have them practice gentility because of the roundness which it gives to characters which, with an exterior uncouth, have real goodness in their hearts. She does not do this by laying down rules, but by pointing out regulations which the experience of thoughtful women, the world over, has found necessary for social order. The position which she has taken, she believes to be at the foundation of any social life that would keep itself unspotted from the world.—The Oakland (Cal.) Tribune.

OUR FIRST CIRCULATING LIBRARY.

Brother W. G. Nethery and his brother, who reside in Buffalo County, Neb., on a large fine-blooded stock farm, have been much concerned in regard to the importance of the circulation of our literature, realizing its value, and the influence of the silent messenger of truth as a means of bringing before the people the Third Angel's Message.
But owing to the fact that their farm and business demanded their personal attention, it was impossible for them to engage in house-to-house canvassing, thus carrying our good books to the people; so they conceived the idea of starting a Circulating Library, and have accordingly placed their order for the first installment of books to be used in this way, and have made the following choice selection for a beginning: 49 “Desire of Ages,” 50 “Steps to Christ,” and 25 copies of that most important book, “The Peril of the Republic,” making, in all, 124 volumes.
Their plan will be to loan these books to their neighbors and friends for three months, perhaps charging a small rent for their use, sufficient to cover the wear. Those borrowing and paying a rental can have the privilege of applying the money thus paid on the purchase price of the book, if they wish to retain it for their private library.
This is the first Circulating Library of our literature that has ever been started by our people, so far as we know. However, many of our brethren who are situated very similarly to the Brothers Nethery, whose home duties demand their personal attention, could start a small Circulating Library, perhaps of one hundred or one hundred and fifty volumes, of our various publications treating on the phases of the Third Angel's Message; and as time and occasion may require, the number and assortment may be increased.
A letter addressed to the Missionary Department of the Review and Herald Publishing Company, Battle Creek, Mich., will bring you an outline of the plan for the distribution and the collection of the books, and the most suitable selection of books for use in this work.
Who will be the next to start a Circulating Library? We shall be pleased to hear from you.

PROF. E. B. MILLER

died of consumption, at Battle Creek, Mich., March 1, 1900. He was born in Carroll County, Ohio, Dec. 15, 1855, and removed with the family to Burlington, Mich., in 1862. He was baptized by Elder John Byington in 1869. He entered Battle Creek College on his eighteenth birthday; from which he was graduated in 1879, receiving the first degree ever granted by the college. He then taught in Battle Creek College until 1892. In the early part of 1893 he went to South Africa, and had charge of the college at Claremont until 1895, when he returned to America. He then taught in Walla Walla College until April, 1896; then went to Union College, College View, Neb., and was president of that institution until the close of the school year, 1897. On account of failing health, he then went to Colorado, and remained a year, when he returned to Union College, to teach; but on account of failing health, he was, in two weeks, obliged to cease work. He then went to Asheville, N. C., where his health seemed considerably to improve; and in June, 1899, he went to Boulder, Colo., with the expectation of being able to conduct a school for poor children unable to pay school rates; but, on account of still failing health, was obliged to surrender this design. The Monday preceding his death he returned to Battle Creek, where he died, as stated, Thursday, March 1. Sabbath, March 5, at 3 P. M., a large congregation of friends, in both college and church of Battle Creek, assembled in the Tabernacle, to attend the funeral services, which were conducted by Elder E. J. Hibbard.
We are sure that all the REVIEW family will be glad to read the news conveyed in the following words of Dr. D. H. Kress, taken from a private letter dated Nice, France, Feb. 20, 1900:—
“I understand that the report has gone forth: ‘An evil disease . . . cleaveth fast to him: and now that he lieth he shall rise no more.’ I am glad to inform you that, although death seemed to stare me in the face, God in mercy has granted me a new lease of life. I can see sufficient cause for all my sickness. . . . I have learned many valuable lessons the last two months. I have been compelled to take time to think. . . . The burden of my prayer has never been merely for health; but for a Christlike character, that I might be able to carry forward the work in the right spirit. Otherwise death was preferable. The fact that God is giving me health, gives me the assurance that he has heard my cry after waiting patiently for him.”

The World's Crisis Changes Its Name

THE World’s Crisis has changed its name to the Advent Christian Messenger. It has also changed the style of its make-up; and much for the better.

Cubans Protest the Bishop of Havana

THE Cubans of Havana vigorously protest against the appointment over them of that Monsignor Sbarretti who was taken from a position in the Apostolic Delegation at Washington, and appointed to the bishopric of Havana because of his exceptional “knowledge of the American Constitution.” The Cubans wish a Cuban bishop. But that would not suit Rome now: a Cuban bishop might sympathize with the Cubans’ aspirations to liberty; and she can hold her power better by a bishop altogether her own—and especially one who is such a good interpreter of the United States Constitution as this Italian is advertised to be, and whose interpretations can be backed up by the United States government.

English as the Commercial Language of the Orient

THE Chinese minister to the United States says that “in all the ports and important centers of the East the English language seems to hold a position in the school and in the countinghouse such as no other language can claim. It is spoken in the streets of Shanghai, as well as in those of Hong-Kong. It is taught in the schools of Yokohama, as well as in those of Singapore. Chinese, Japanese, Germans, Russians, and Frenchmen alike make use of it in their business offices, in their clubs, and in their family circles. In short, it may be called the commercial language of the Orient. Signs are not wanting that point to its ultimate adoption as an international language.” And what is all this, but an excellent open bid for the Third Angel’s Message to be carried speedily to China? Who is ready to go? Who is getting ready to go?

ANOTHER STANDARD BEARER FALLEN.

By I. D. Van Horn

Dr. Horatio S. Lay died in Battle Creek, Mich., at the home of his grandson, Roy L. Pierce, Feb. 25, 1900. Another faithful and tried servant of the Lord, a firm believer and worker in the Third Angel's Message, has been laid away to rest till the Life-giver comes.
Dr. Lay was born July 18, 1828, in Cambria, N. Y. At the age of ten years he, with his father's family, moved to Erie, Pa. Having a strong desire for an education, he improved the first opportunity, by invitation of a physician to enter his office, where he advanced rapidly in the study of medicine. In time he entered the Western Reserve College at Cleveland, Ohio, where he was graduated with high honors. Following this he was graduated at the Detroit Medical College. He came into western Michigan, and settled at Allegan, where he began the practice of medicine.
Dr. Lay was married to Miss Julia M. Barber, Dec. 18, 1852. He was successful in his profession; but after ten years, on account of his wife's poor health, he took her to the “Home on the Hillside,” at Dansville, N. Y., where she could have the treatment of that institution, conducted by Dr. Jackson. She was benefited; and he gained a knowledge of the value of water treatment, diet, and other means of helping the sick, and of maintaining good health. After three-years' stay in that institution, he returned to Allegan, Mich., but was soon called to open and superintend the Health Reform Institute at Battle Creek, Mich., now grown to the world-renowned sanitarium. The Health Reformer began to be published, of which Dr. Lay was chosen editor, the first number being issued in August, 1866. He remained here four years, and then returned to Allegan, and resumed the practice of medicine. In 1880 he moved to northern Michigan, and settled in Petoskey, the famous Michigan resort.
About 1856 Dr. Lay, under the labors of Elder M. E. Cornell, heard and accepted the doctrines of the Bible as taught by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. In 1884 he laid down the practice of medicine, and entered the ministry, becoming an efficient laborer in the Michigan Conference. Kind hearted, humble, and retiring in disposition, he found many friends, some of whom accepted Christ and his truth. In this work he was faithful in duty, at times even going beyond his strength.
The loss of his faithful wife, in 1893, the breaking up of his home, and failing health, were some of the trials he had to meet. A little more than two years ago, through a severe attack of la grippe, consumption fastened upon him. As a result of his temperate habits of life, he was enabled to keep up and do some work till this winter set in. He gradually failed, yet was hopeful, having a cheerful trust in God. He peacefully fell asleep in Jesus at 10 A. M., Sunday, Feb. 25, 1900, at the age of 71 years, 7 months, and 7 days.
He leaves four daughters to mourn their loss, but they sorrow not as those without hope. The funeral was held Monday, at 1 P. M., at the home where he died. The remains were accompanied by relatives to Petoskey, where he was buried by the side of his wife.
