A Railroad to 60 Across the Eastern
Continent.

The great feat accomplished by the
United States in connecting the Atiant'c
and Pacific Oceans by a railroad across
the limited States is stimulating enterprise
in Europe, and it is now proposed
deed the plan is matured-to connect the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by railroad
through Central Asia. AT conference
of the geographers, recently held, Col.
Bsgdanowitz explained some of The de-
tails of the road, which it is expected Will
overcome one of the greatest obstacles TO
the extension of civilization-namely, the
separation of large part OF ASIA from
Europe by vast deserts, in which no
means of transit but railroad could be
of any use. A railroad alone can de,
yelope the resources through which II
would pass; and as the mineral wealth. OF
Siberia and the Ural Mountains IS well
known, the exploration and mining o.
their regions would be encouraged ano
tbsir resources developed. 1t is proposed
that the road shall start from Mimi Nov
eorod, in Russia, where Is now the ex
treme eastern station in the network o
European railroads. 1t will run along
the Volga, the Kama, to Ekaterlnburg
on the Asiatic side OF the ora
Mountains; then enter ASIA, pro

Omsk at the Irish, cross the river, pro
ceed by way of Kainsk to Tomsk on tn

Your fsvors earnestly solicited.

"Oh do not take it all, pray~ cried
the cat; ait is all l shall have. do not
have milk more than once day"
What is that to me: l don't care"
said the dog. And he drank it all up, and
went on, well pleased.
Day after day, he was the same. He
would not help poor COW that had got
shut out of her field, though he knew of a
gap in the hedge by which she could have
got back. He would not take the pains
to point out the way to the old oak in the
wood. when young bird who had
strayed too far from her nest asked him.
To each and all he would say, What is
that TO me? l don't care"
At last he came to great wood. He
was tired, and soon went to sleep. In his
sleep he dreamed, that, all at once, great
wolf came out of the wood, and seized
hold of him. Save me! save men' he
cried.
"Why should I save yUu?" said the
wolf, with fierce gleam in his eve. "ls
there one who would say good word for
you?"
At this speech, the sheep who had once
asked the dog to help her came out of the
wood
Il have a word to say" she SAID; " but
it is not a good word. This dog would
not help me when | was in trouble. If
you tell me you must kill him, l say, as
he once said: What is that TO me""
ooh" groancd the poor dog. Is
there no one who will say kind wordS'
Then came the cat Il do not care if
you kill him." said she: "what is that to
me? He did not care for me in my want"
The COW came next. " Do as you like"
said she: "If he comes to grief what is
that to me? There was never any pity in
his heart for those he saw suffer"
And then came whole crowd of beasts
and birds; and they stood around and
cried, with one voice: "Do as you will
with him. Kill him, if you like. What
is that to u.s."
The dogs fear IN his dream was so great
that he woke. How great was his JOY to
lind that no wolf was near!
but it might have been trucm he
thought 81 will not 90 through life as
have done; and will not say of those
who live in the same world with me, that
their joy or grief is nOught to me. find

frontier of China, and thence it is no
longer an exclusively Russian, but an in
ternational undertaking. The first section
from Mimi Novgorod to Tomsk runs on
perfectly level land (the so-called steppes),
similar to our prairies. In the second
section from Tomsk to Lake Baikal the
country is rolling and interspersed with
rivers and streams; but the greatesr height
is only $500 feet, and largest rivers are
but very moderate width and depth The
only serious difficulties, as we have said,
lie at the Chinese frontier, and they are
inferior to those overcome in the Rocky
Mountains and the Sierra Nevada by the
American engineers. Russia has raised
in fifteen years more than 81 200, 900, 900

/" What Is That to MeF'

A DOG once set out to go through the
world, and see all that was to be seen. lie
had been spoiled in his young days; SO
that he did not care for the pains OF others,
so long as he was safe and well himself
One day, as he went through a field he
heard a sad cry, and, looking round, saw
a sheep in a stream. Help me, Oh, help!
or shall be drowned" she cried.
The dog could have pulled her out Tor
he was strong, and could swim well. But
to her cry he said, "What is that to me!'
and went on.
The sheep was not drowned; for the
stream took her down to a place where the
bank was low, and she could get out; pu'
she owed the dog no thanks for that.
He went on till he thought he must hno
some food, and just then he caught sigh

NOTHING IS LOST.
WHERE is the snow?

'Tis not long ago
II coyer'd the earth With a veil of white;
We heard not its footsteps soft and light,
Yet there it was in the morning bright:
ow 1t hath vanish'd away from sight.
Not a trace remains
In fields or lanes.
Where is the frost?
They are gone and lost
The forms of beauty it gaily made,
The pictures rare on windows array'd.
'sBe SILENT it said; the brook obey'd.
The frost-work's wild pictures all did fade;
At the smile of the sun
An was undone.
Where is the rain?
@ Pattering it came;
Dancing along with merry sound,
A grassy bed in the fields it found;
Each drop came on the roof with bound.
Where is the rain: It hath left the ground
What good hath it done,
Going away so soon!
Ever, ever
Our best endeavor
Seemeth 10 fail like the melted snow:
We worked out our thought wisely and slow;
The seed we sow-but it viii not grow:
Our hopes, our resolves--where do they 90?
What doth remain
Memory and pain!
Nothing is lost
No snow nor frost
That come to enrich the earth again:
We thank them when the ripening grain
Is waving over the hill and plain,
And the pleasant rain springs from earth amaiI
All endeth in good .e..
Water and food. 3g
Never despair;
disappointment bear,
Though hope seemeth vain, be patient still;
Thy good intents God will fulfill. g
Thy hand is weak; His powerful will
Is completing thy iife-work STILL
The good endeavor
Is lOst:-ahl never.

Some Nice Nests.

MICE sometimes choose very odd places
in which to set up their small housekeep-
ing. A lady one day took down a large
loaf of bread, baked the day before, to cut
up for her children's dinner. She found
a little hole in one side which she follow
ed up, and there, snug in the heart OF the
bread was mother mouse and nine little
mice. She had torn into shreds leaf OF
a COPY. book, for the bottom OF the nest
and when they got hungry they could
lust fall to and eat their bedclothes!
Another person, in pulling large
turnip in his field found the inside neatly
followed out by a field mouse, and
stock of lima beans laid in for winter pro
visions.
A Cleveland mouse did worse mischie
than that. He chewed up two hundre'
dollars worth OF greenbacks, and made
bed Of them. But, alas, the arsenic IN IN
| green color did not agree with h'u!. II
was found dead In his bed,
