Railway Refreshments.

In the Scotch and Irish express trains
only fifteen minutes are allowed for re-
freshments-that is, for what at home
would have been mcal-and if there
have been delays upon the road, even
those fifteen minutes are encroached
upon. The French system is different
and better. Sometime during the jour
ney, an agent goes through the cars,
takes your orders, telegraphs them
ahead, and, on reaching the station
what you have asked for is handed in,
to be consumed at your leisure on the
journey; or, descending into the re-
freshment rooms, you find small baske
upon the buffet,' containing, with
such refreshments as are most called for,
knife and fork, napkin, plate and
glass. On each basket is label stating
contents and price. The passenger buys
the basket, takes it into his carriage,
dimes or lunches at his leisure, and at
the next station at which the train stops
hands back the basket, etc, to a waiter,
and receives for it fixed price, which
is also set down on the label. This sys-
tenn has just been begun in England on
the Midland express. A correspondent
of a London paper thus publishes his
experience: Il left London for Buxton
by the Midland express at 11:45 a. m.,
arriving at Leicester about >, where. for

Sunshin e and Sleep.

Slespless people-and they are many
IN America-should court the sun.
The very worst soporific is laudadum,
and the very best, sunshine. There
fore, it is very plain that poor sleepers
should pass as many hours as possible
in sunshine, and as few as possible in
the shade. Many women are martyrs,
and yet they do not know it, They
shut the sunshine out of their house and
their hearts, they wear walls, they carry
parasols, they do all possible to keep of

the bluff, mute and solemn, looking out
with expressionless eyes over the bosom
of the mighty river that murmurs at its
feet, never mourning, never speaking,
like another sphynx. The ground
whereon the throne of the idol reposes
is wanted for the road bed, and the ST.
lent, expressionless god, whose brow
has been bathed in the morning sunlight
Of 80 many centuries, must fall. But q
short distance from this is smaller
idol, which had evidently been placed
on the side of the bluff, but by some
convulsion of nature was overturned
centuries ago, and pitched into the river.
During the high water it was completely
covered, but at the present stage the
head and part of the body of the image
are distinctly visible.

Where the Money Raised by Taxa
ton Comes From, and Where
it Goes To.

State Auditor Russell, with his excel.
lent deputies, Ayers and Christy, have
made out very important statement
relative to taxes throughout Iowa. 1t
is table, by counties, showing the
amount of State and local taxes levied
in the several counties for the year 1870,
as returned to the Auditors Office in
compliance with section 74S of the revis-
ion of 1850.
As it is very large, and contains about
sevsnty~five thousand figures, it is only
practicable to give the aggregate Of the
various columns. The work has required
a great deal of time and writing to make
it accurate, for there were twelve dis
tinct items to obtain from each Of the
ninety y'seven counties. This table has
never before been made out but the
Auditor believed it of sufficient impor-
tance to publish, that the ,19l 900 peo-
pie of Iowa can see right where their
money goes to, and how much is re-
quired to carry on their State, district,
county and township governments.

A "Potato- Race in New Hamp-

a correspondent of the Boston Adrlr-
tiscr writes from East Wilton, New
Hampshire, that outdoor athletic eX-
ercises are the fashion, and one of the
novelties is the patato~racc, which j.
thus described:
"a very curious trial of speed and
strength it is. Three lines of potatoes
were laid. Each line is Of fifty-each a
yard from each other. OF course each
line is forty-nine yards long. At the
end of each line is basket, by which,
at the start, contestant stands In this
case there are three competitors. At
the word "go,' each one begins where
he chooses on his line to pick up pota-
toes that he may bring them to the bas-
ket. He must pick up out one on each
trip and turn to bring it back into the
basket. Your mathematical readers
Will see that this involves 1850 feet Of
running, with such deductions as NAV

tell you that the scietific performance is
to take your long runs first, when YOUR

LIFE'S BETTER MOMENTS

Life has its moments
Ofbeauty ana bloom;
But they hang like sweet roses
On the edge Of the tomb.
Blessings they bring us,
AS lovely as brief.
They meet us when happy,
And leave us in grief.
Huss of the morning,
Tinging the sky.
Come on the sunbeams,
And off with them fly;
Shadows Of evening
Hang soft ON the shore,
Darkness enwraps them,
We sec them no more.
SO life's better moments
In brilliance appear,
Dawning in beauty,
Our journey to cheer.
Round us they linger,
Like shadows Of even,
Would that we like them,
Might melt into Heaven.
