Usually the solvency of railroad depends
mainly upon its traffic; and as a rule, that
traffic steadily increases as the road grows
older and the population along its route be-
comes richer and denser. In a word, the
income of railroad (and hence its debt pay
ing ability, will ordinarily keep pace with
the growth of population.
The Germans are not especially fond of the
pet cats which many of the French fugitives
have left behind them. However, they give
them food. But of the singular birds, which
they often find abandoned in the dwellings
which their owners have hurriedly left, they
take the greatest care. In a tent belonging
to a field watch near Paris, there is cage
containing two turtle doves, upon which is

The "rooster" is the name of an internal toy
brought into use by the boys Of Lockport, N.
Y. 1t consists of an empty tin can of any size,
open at the top, and having hole in the bot
tom. Through the hole is drawn a common
shoe string or corset lace, with a knot tied
on one end to prevent its slipping out. The
string is then thoroughly waxed or rosined, and
the most unearthly shrieks are produced by
sliding the fingers over it. When one of these
little wretches comes under the windows with
his rooster, the people with sensitive nerves
take to the cellar or housetop.
Three countries in the " orld are unblessed
with rich products, and yet they have done
more for education than any other countries.
Holland, with its fens and marshes. Scotland,
with its barren hills, and New England, with
its granite and ice. These three countries
have been the pioneers of education, and have
built up for themselves immense businesses
founded solely on an educational basis. The
last census shows New England to be the
highest in proportion to numbers in wealth
and thrift. Education has done this.

The Pot ON the Fire..

There is one mode of preparing food
in general use In many parts of Europe
which we should do very well more
generally to adopt; that is, "gentle
simmering.' In every or almost every
French household there is the not an fest.
This permanent "pot on the fire." after
the manner of the old-fashioned ssdi-
gester," occupies quiet little corner
of the stove or fireplace. 1t can hard
ly be said to boil, but, it SINNERS on
gently, very gently, for hours. There
il, is the receptacle of many littlebone,
whether the trimmings of poultry or
butchers meat. 1t matters not, every
little stray fragment of wholesome meat
finds its way there. A bit of liver is
considered great improvements; and
any vegetables that happen to be about,
add toits pleasant flavor, whether the
tops of celery, Jerusalem artichokes-
which, par erceLLdnce, make it delicious
'-or otherwise carrots turnips, ieeks,
etc. But supposing it were to be made
altogether of fresh materials
indeed, in France, it rarely is-this
would be the proper recipe; Put a gal
lon Of water into a pot; put into this
either threeior four pounds of shin of
beef, or any similar thing. Add to this
an onion or two, or some leeks, carrots,
or some other vegetable, three or four
teaspoonsful of salt, one of black peper
three cloves. Give itone boil up; skim
carefully. Now cover the pot closely,
and let it cook gently, for four hours at
the least. About every hour throw a
wineglassful of cold water into it, to
make it clear. Taste; it may require a
little more salt or pepper, according to
taste. Pour this soup over toasted
crusts of bread, Both soup and meat
will be found delicious. The whole
secret of this lies in the gentle simmer
ing in a covered vessel, whereby the
flavor is wholly preserved, and nothing
is LOST Scientific american.

Starting on "a visit to some friends in

A country gentleman lately arrived
in town, Immediately repaired to the
house of relative, a lady, who had
married a merchant. The parties were
glad to see him, and invited him to
make their house his home, as he de-
clared his intention of remaining in the
city only a day or two. The husband
of the lady, anxious to show his wife's
relative all the courtesy he could, took
the gentleman's horse to livery stable,
Finally the visit became a visitation,
