$50 MILES ARE DONE AND EARNING NOW
ABOVE EXPENSES MORE THAN THE INTER-
EST ON THAT PORTION OF THE EiORTGAGED
DEBT, and more than the interest on all the bonds
that can be issued up to date.
The completion of new road enables US to offer for
sale more Of these bonds. No bonds can be issued
on road under construction and on finished road the
issue is limited 10 $4,000 per mile.
These bonds are desirable as an investment for
navy reasons the most prominent of which are:
FIRST Behind them and ortifyng them is a raid
up capital OF nearly 81 100000.
Second: Inc roaI is new great trunk line run
WAYS, and shortening the distance seventy mies-a
very great distance properly considered, and one
that alone would render This road east success.
Third: The cost OF building the road is twice the
mortgage and railroad is real estate of perfect
title, and, if good for anything is always increasing
in value. These bonds are a real estate loan of the
best character at halt value. The cost OF single
track is about $4,000 per mile; mortgage, $50 0C0.
Besides In This case the real estate is in existence
fourth: The Mortgage Bonds on every railroad
running out of New York City are good and inter-
est is promptly paid on them.

is completed: The earnings OF single month, it is
expected, will exceed ills.
A consideration of the gross receipts of the New
York Central and Erie Railways will be all that is
necessary, believe to vince parties that the
Midland will net, after all expenses, a much larger
sum than its interest debt.
THE BATE OF INTEREST.
These bonds pay seven per cent. in gold. free Of
United States income tax and this, with gold at 115,
is equal 10 over - PER CENT. A YEAR No
rational person could expect SAFE INVEST
MENT WITHIN OUR OWN STATE to be offered
on more liberal terms than these.

Friday i'm Russia.

A correspondent of the London Athen9una
writes as follows from st. Petersburg with
regard to the observance of Friday in Rus
sia:-
Was it by mere accident that Defoe selected
the name of Friday" for Crusoes savage or
was there still in England some remnant of
the mythical reverence for Friday, other than
the fancy that it is an unlucky day? At all
events, in some other countries, where Fri
day is even more holy than in England or
Germany, it has been personifed and even
canonized by the Church. Prascovia is we'll
known to all as a sort of typical Russian
name, but it is less known that the proper
Slavonic spelling is Paraskeya, day of prepa-
ration, or Friday. At what time st. Paraskeva
was canonized would be difficult to tell,
but probably at the same time with
st. Anastasia (the Greek Sunday, for
in the religious pictures they appear
together. The common appellation of
ST. Paraskeva among the Russian people is
Pyatnitza, Friday-from pyat, fve-It the
fifth day of the week, and the churches dedi-
Gated to her are called Pyatnikt. st. Pyat-
nitza, or Petka, is also very familiar to the
Serbians, Bulgarians, and all the South Sla-
vonians. With Pyatnitza there often ap-
pears alsa St. Anastasia in another form, as
St. NedyeIG (the old name of Sunday-I1 not
WOrKlnBb; ana once OF JWlce IN Lne popular
tales we meet with Mother Seredd, or We'd
nesday. In many of the rural districts of
Russia, and especially in the Ukraine, ex-
treme reverence is paid to Friday, and no
work at all is done on that day; carding,
spinning, and ploughing being especially
forbidden. In A. ID. 1889 the Patri-
arch of Constantinople, by a circular
letter to the Russ-Lithuanian bishops for
bade the practice of making Friday festival
equal to Sunday; and in spite of this we
find that the peasants Of the volozt of Tav-
rensl1y, from 1590-159S, made an agreement
not to thresh, or grind or heat the ovens on
Fridays. There are legends that Mother
Friday goes about in white clothes furnishing
those women who spin on her day with blind
ness, which can be relieved only by prayers
and penance. Blindness is the penalty,
because the dust and lint arising from the
spinning are supposed to get into the eyes of
the saint. She is very apt too to throw into
the room an immense hank, which must be
