WE publish a dispatch from Chicago
this morning which shows that the
total earnings of the Illinois Central
railroad for the past year were SSH
7O5 in excess Of its operating expenses
during a period, too, of general bust
ness depression. This gives some idea
Of the enormous operations Of the great
trunk roads Of the country as carrying
AGENTS. But here are two still stronger
illustrations. The gross earnings Of
the Union Pacific for the year ending
June 30, 1874, were Sl0,246,0OO, being
an increase Of $4,000 over those of
the previous year. The operating ex-
penses were $4,000, being only
about 50 per cent. Of the gross earn
iEgs. The road earned on government
account during the year: passengers,
S20S. 36l; mails. 325, I43; freight, $685.
513-total. S759,G2I. 1t Is estimated
that the same amount Of service per-
formed for the government BY stages
and wagons would have cost S6,O0o,OOO
more than this. For 1874, the total
gross earnings Of the Pennsylvania
Central. from Philadelphia to Pitts
burg. with branch and leased lines,
were S37. 1885, 27; and the operating
expenses, including rentals, were $685.
OII,7l9. The net earnings show an IN
crease over ne previous year Of SlOO'-
geo. East Of Pittsburg they were
much larger than those vest Of that
point, the latter amounting 10 only
SS44, 33S, while the former were So
396,92l.

A Seasonable Hint-Milk as a Medi-
cine

Considerable has been recently said
in medical journals concerning the
value of milk as remedial agent in
certain diseases. An interesting arti-
Gle upon this subject lately appeared
in the London MIX Journal, in which
it is stated, on authority of DIR. Ben.
jamin Clark, that in the East Indies
warm milk is used to great extent
as specific for diarrhea. A pint,
every tour hours, will check the most
violent diarrhea, stomach ach, incip-
lent cholera and dysentery. The milk
should never be boiled, but only heat
ed sufficiently to be agreeably warm
not too hot to drink. Milk which
has been boiled is not fit for use.
The writer gives several instances to
show the value of this simple SUBJ
stance in arresting this disease, among
which is the following: at has never
failed in curing in six to ten hours,
and | have tried it, | should think,
fifty times. | have given it to dy-
ing man, who had been subject to
dysentary eight months, latterly &C
companied by one continual diarrhea,
and it acted on him like charm. In
two days his diarrhea was gone, and
in three weeks he became hale, fat
man, and now nothing that may here
after occur will ever shake his faith
in hot milk.
A writer also communicates to the
Medical Times and Gazette a state
ment of the value of milk in twenty
six cases of typhoid fever, in every
one of which its great value was
apparent. 1t checks diarrhea and
cools the body. People suffering
from diseases require food as much
as those in health, and much more SO
in certain diseases where there is a
rapid waste of the system. Frequent
ly all ordinary food, in certain dis.
eases, is rejected by the stomach, and
even loathed by the patient; but ma
ture, ever benefcent, has furnished a
food that in all diseases is beneficial
in some directly curative. Such a
food is milk. The writer in the iourn.
al last quoted, DR.. Alexander Yale,
after giving particular observations
upon the points above mentioned,
viz: its action in checking diarrhea,
its nourshing properties and its ac-
ton in cooling the body, says: owe
believe that milk nourishes in fever,
promotes sleep, wards off delirium,
sooths the intestnes, and. in fine, is
the sine quo non in typhoid fever"
Another writer in the same journal
says: eve have also lately tested
the value of milk in scarlet fever, and
learn that it is now recommended by
the medical faculty in all cases of this
often very distressing children's dis
ease. Give all the milk the patient
will take, even during the period of
the greatest fever. 1t keeps up the
strength of the patient, acts well upon
the stomach, and is in every way a
blessed thing in this sickness. Pa
rents remember it, and do not fear to
give it if your dear ones are afflicted
with the disease. "-Pitsburg Com

ata-A Paris tells the queer story Of
Walter Hastings, an English actor,
who gave it as his opinion. in con-
vcrsation with Lord S. in 1865, that
solitary confinement is really not
punishment at all, but simply q
pleasant way of spending ones time
His Lordship said he would give
Hastings 100000 if be would submit
to solitary confinement for ten years.
Hastings agreed, and entered dark
cell, fifteen fe by ten in size, TO
fulfill the terms of the wager. He
was allowed candles and books and
plenty of food. He served out his
tearm Of voluntary Imprisonment,
has won his 910, 900, and is endoavor-
ing to shake Oft the influences Of his
dungeon in the free air of Paris. He
is only 35 years old now, but helooks
at least 60, and has not word to
say in favor of solitary confinement
as means of diversion.
