love Of appreciation was well developed, he
would never purchase its qualification by 4 sac

accord him the credit of having stood fast for
what he believed to be right. His natural
frankness and freedom of speech was often aug

whatever might have appeared harsh or unkind
in his demeanor, was the direct out-growth Of a
determination, to which he often gave emphatic

from a supposed injury, where perhaps none

Although this stupendous amusement
combination is to pitch It's acres of canvas

It's national fame has given it the most IA

entertainment.
When this gigantic combination was
first put upon the road, the managers of

the old-rut order of things, which could
never be made to pay a 1.-THE of the run

fall in ponderous, irretrievable ruin upon

most sanguine anticipations-is too well
known to require comment. There is a

KICKED OUT.

Percy Smith and Ed Murphy occu-
pied small cabin in Radusbury, Mon
tana, and slept in different beds Per-
cy's bed was SO situated that he could
get into either side-that is to say, it
was placed in the center of the cabin,
which Percy found very convenient OIL
certain occasions. One night Percy
and Ed had been in Captain SPARKS
trom's saloon, and on returning, which
they did at early morning, both were
considerably elevated. However, they
walked up to the cabin with an air
which seemed to say, Not SO very darn
ed drunk, after all, and sought long
and patiently for matches and candle.
After knocking the pitcher off the table,
and smashing some cups, they finally
gave up the search, and went to bed
yes, yes, that is the word, but, owing to
the darkness and the confusion of their
senses, they made slight mistake. In
short, Percy's bed had the honor of re-
ceiving the two friends, Ed getting in
on one side, and his companion on the
other.
tI say, Percy" cried Ed, touching
somebody's calf, there is fellow in
my bed. !"
Wonderful coincidence, y exclaimed
Percy, feeling strange elbow in the
region of his ribs there is somebody
in my bed, too
SIS there, though ?" said Ed "let's
kick them ont.
"Agreed,' said Percy.
And accordingly the friends began to
kick. In about a minute Ed was sprawl
ing on the floor, and Percy was left in
possession of the bed. For a moment
after the fall all was silent.
81 say, Ed, cried Percy.
'' What ?" said Ed, sulkily.
'sI have kicked my fellow out. -
You are luekier than am, then,"
said Ed, for mine has kicked me clean
on the floor"

OUR RAILROADS.

At the end of 1873 there were re-
ported II, 5649 miles of main lines,
and 13, 512 miles of sidings and double
tracks, making 85, O77.9 miles of rail
roads within the United States. OF the
| main lines 5, 462. miles were in the New
England States, ii, ,209 in the Middle
States, 80, 905. 9 in the Western STATES,
these roads locomotives were running,
and large proportion of them Used
wood for fuel. The number of ties Used
varies from 1900 to 1880 per mile. IF
we take 2, 500 as a mean, we find that
212, ,692, 500 pieces of timber, eight feet
long, and from six to eight inches be-
tween upper and lower surfaces, are re-
quired to supply even this item. The
durability of ties varies with the kind
of timber, soil, climate and use, mng-
ing from four to ten years. Taking six
as an average, the amount required for
annual supply must be 35, AS, 75O
pieces, or "a, 53O,O cubic feet. In
considering this we must remember
that large amount of waste occurs
from hewing and from leaving the
upper parts of trees, some of which are
used as irewood, the remainder being
total loss. It must also be borne in
mind that the demand for timber by
railroads, besides for ties and fuel, is
very great, including fencing, bridges,
buildings and structures of various
kinds; that the risk from fires is ex-
ceptionally great, and our require
ments In this direction are increasing
even more rapidly than our supplies are

NO j" BACKBONE" !"

The last wonderful story comes from
across the water, and tells of an Irish
woman who lost her bones The vie
tim, forty-fve years old, was patient
in an insane asylum. For five years
she was confined to her bed, complain
ing of no pain, but gradually becoming
weaker, while dwindling in stature un-
til she lost half her height. AS the
disease progressed, her limbs were
coiled up in every possible shape, the
bones becoming extremely light, soft,
fragile, and atrophied in every respect.
At death, all that was left of her skele-
ton, including the skull, weighed two
pounds and half. The. number of
fractures was prodigious. The ribs
were in hundred fragments. Had she
lived little longer, it was thought that
not a vestige of bone would have been
left in her body. What allied her no one
could tell, the disease being almost un-
heard of and difficult to diagnose, treat,
or even name.
