I RAILROADS II PEEEsYLVANIA.-The State
OF Pennsylvania has now mole miles of rail-
way in operation than any State in the Union
except Ohio. The latter has 3,O57, while we
have 2,943 according to the United States
Ecohomisf, a New York paper. The next
States in rank are Illinois, with 1924 miles
in operation, New York 2,sOs, and Indiana
2,O5s.
We rank thus: Ohio 4, 1873 miles; Pennsyl-
yania 3,972; Illinois 1851; New York 3, ASS;
Texas 1861; Indiana 2,522. While, there
fore, Illinois is now very near US in the mat
ter of miles in operation, she will ultimately
be distanced when our roads shall have been
completed.
Considering the enormous difficulties IN
der which we have labored in building rail-
roads ever cur mountainous soil, the progress
we have made is truly surprising. In the
item of cost Of construction and equipment,
we'head the list thus: Pennsylvania, $751;
529 629; New York, sI45, 259, 1872; Ohio,

RAILROADS. IN TIT UNITED STATEs.-The
o. s. Economist Says Within period of
thirty years we have invested nearly 1900
millions ofdollars in tracking our country
with railroads." and adds-"This is an
astounding achievement, especially consider
ing the fact that capital has been pressingly
demanded by the rapid developement of a
new and fertile country" A table in the
Railroad Journal shows that in 1892 there
were only l31 miles in operation. Ten years
later in 1912, there were 3,ss7 miles. An
other decade, 1852, and we find the aggre-
gate has become 1919 miles; and here we
are at the dawn of 1861, with l,I79 miles
of railroad in operation-more by over 5000
miles than the aggregate milage Of Great
Britain, France, Austria and Prussia COM

Decidedly PitifuI.

A political speaker recently related an anec
dote, in which he said he had been in the Flor.
da wars chasing the Indians some years before
and among his companions was reckless, dare.
devil sort Of q fellow, who seemed as careless
of his own life as though he had dozen more
of them in his pocket. He had been hacked
cut, stabbed and shot in possible and impossible
places, and his life despaired of frequently
All Of this he bore with philosophic indiffer.
snce. One day, however, he was tremendously
kicked by jack-ass; and this time, death was
inevitable.
His companions gathered around him, and
one was selected to give him the painful intel
ligence that he must die. To the surprise of
all, the reckless, callous fearless soldier burst
into tears. This was unexpected, as no one
had ever associated him with fear of death; ;
and surprised and i'll .concealed soldcrly con.
tempt appeared on the faces of his companions.
Seeing this, he drew up his shattered arms, and
lifted his head and said:
Its not that, boys It's not the fear of dy-
ing-though that isn't pleasant; but to think,
after all the high, grand old chances O. dying l
have had, and lost, jest to be kicked to death
by a dod-derned ye having old cuss of jack
ass!''

At the end of June celery may be set for ear
ly crops, though for the main crop month la
ter will answer. 1t was once customary to
plant in trenches dug six or more inches below
surface. The objection is the poverty Of the
soil at that depth. Some of the best cultiva-
tors now plant on the surface, and depend on
drawing up the soil, and the employment Of
boards or other artificial methods of blanching
Last year correspondent described mode Of
employing charcoal for the purpose, which pro-
duces fine, firm and crisp stalks. Sawdust,
shavings, and similar matters have also been
used with beneficial results. Very rich soil is es-
sential to fine celery, and well rotted COW dung
is one of the best manures for this crop.

How to Swim q Horse.

The rider should take up and cross his stir
rups, to prevent the horse from entangling him
self with them. He should quit the bit reir
and scarcely feel the bridoon, and any attemp
to guide the horse must be by the slightest
touch possible. He should lean his chest Al
much over the horses withers as he can, ant
hold the name to prevent the rush of the water
carrying him backward. If the horse appears
distressed. man who cannot swim may with
safety hold tho name and throw himself out or

weight. When the horse comes into his depth
he may again drop into the saddle.-Asrieul

Death to the Rings.

The following is said to be infallible: Take
two pounds of alum, bruise it, and reduce it
nearly to powder; dissolve it in three quarts
of boiling water, let it remain in a warm place
till the alum is dissolved. The alum water is
to be applied hot by means of brush to every
joint and crevice. Brush the crevice in the
floor of the skirting board if they are suspected
places; whitewash the ceiling, putting in plenty
of alum, and there will be an end to their drop
ping from thence,

Take great pains in curing your hay. Don't
cut down more than you can secure at night
Grass should not be allowed to lay on the
ground more than one night, and if put in the
cock or winrow the day it is Gu {, it will be far
better. We like to see sweet, palatable, bright
hay for all kinds of stock. It costs but little
more to have such, and its nutritive properties
are double that which has been exposed to dews
and storms, and the suns burning rays, after it
should have been in the stack or barn.-Valley

About four miles west of the river, we came
to log tavern, kept by Major Smith. Here
we found small man with large wife. Says
Major Smith to the small man:
Is that woman your wife7"
Yes, sir" was the reply.
Says the Major: How did you get across
