bolted firmly to the boiler, on which the
cylindrical bed-plate is mounted and at

ssThe hollow cylindrical bed-platezacts
as a heater, with the exhaust pipe passing
directly throughit from the cylinder to

a Cinnamon died, leaving his property
to his three sons, as follows: To Fun
Hum, his eldest, one-half thereof; MI
pin, his second son, one-third thereof;
and to Ding-Bat, his youngest, one-ninth
thereof. When the property was inven-
toried, it was found to consist of nothing
more nor less than seventeen elephants;
and it puzzled these three heirs how to
divide Ii property according to the
terms of the will, without chopping up
the seventeen elephants, and thereby Sc
riously impairing their value. Finally,
they applied to aswise neighbor, Sum
Punk, for advice. Sum-Punk had an
elephant of his own. He drove it into
the yard with the seventeen, and sad:
CHOW we will suppose that your father
has left these eighteen elephants. Fun
Hum, take your half and depart" So
Fum-Hum. took his nine elephants and
went his way. "NOw, Nu-Pin," said
the wise man. "take your third and git"
So Nu-pin took his elephants and trav-

man, takeyour ninth AID begone." So
Ding-Bat took his two elephants and
absquatulated. Then Sum-Punk took his
own elephant and drove home again.

r. The average fares OF the Russian rail-
ways are lower than even the low Ger
man fares first-class, notGqujte three
half-pence an English mile; second class,
little over a penny; third class, little
over nehalf-penny. On the Petersburg
Moscow line the third class fare is but
one-third of q penny per English mile.
The Russian first-class carriages are
among the best in the world, the second
and third classes are but slightly inferior
to those of Germany, and superior to
those. of all other countries. On the Pc

some other lines also) s~leeping-car ac-
commodation in special compartments

who makes use of the sleeping compart-

his seat and the sleeping accommodation

BY accidents on the railways. There
were, in 1869, no. more than five or six

A very large number of persons, how
ever-the greater part engineers, labor
ers, and other persons employed on the
railways, some peasants and a few traV-
elers-have been run over by trains OF
otherwise injured on the railways. Al
though nearly 400 such cases are record

A Beautiful Sentiment.

In Agstine Daily's great play. Under
the Gaslight, Laura CORTLAND utters
these beautiful sentiments: Lei tho wo-
man you look apon be wise or ysint
beautiful or homely, she has but one thing
she can really give or refuse. and tina,
is-heF heart. Her beauty, her wit,
accomplishments, she may sell you, but
her love is the treasure without pric9.
She can Gully ask in return. thai when
you look upon her your eyes shall speak
mute devotion; that when you address
her, your voice shall be gentle, k ind !.
That you shall not despise her because she
can net all at once understand your vigor-
Gus thoughts and ambitious plans, for
when. misfortune and evil have defeated
your greatest purpose, her love remains
to console you. You look upon the tree
ofstrenth- and grandeur; do not despise the
flowers because their fragrance is all they
have to give. Remember, love is the
only thing that woman has to give-but
it is the only thing which Ged permits as
to carry beyond the grave.
