"MELON SUGAR."

The manufacture of sugar from melons
IS about to be established near San Fran
cisco. The superiority of melons to beets
for the manufacture OF sugar is said to
be conclusively proven, and already a
company has been formed and land
purchased on Andras Island, where the
manufacture will be commenced in a
short time. Water-melons are to be
used principally, the cost both of raising
and reducing being much less than any
other class of melons or fruit suitable for
the purpose. Besides producing sugar,
the melon is said to give a delicious
sirup, while the seeds will be used for
the manufacture of table oil. Regard
ing the superiority of the melon the cor
respondent says: As compared with
beets, the sirup of which is unfit for use,
and the impurities, for which expensive
detergence is required, the pulp of the
melons being free from impurities, needs
no complex treatment ; no carbonic acid,
little comeback, and but a fraction of
lime, and small per cent. of watery
elements to be evaporated. Beets are
planted in rows two feet apart and eight
inches asunder. Melons in rows twelve
feet apart and six feet asunder, requiring
only one third the blowing and not one
fourth the wedding. The harvest is
cIeanly and not laborious in melons as in
beets. In the mill beets require wash
ing, melons not; the juice of beets is
liable to soon turn black and run into

THE BUDDHA'S ANSWER.

There came to Buddha, one day, a
woman who had lost her only child. She
was wild with grief, and with disconso-
late sobs and cries called franticallv upon
the prophet to give back her little one to
life. The Buddha gazed on her long,
and, with that tender sympathy which
drew all hearts to him, replied: eco,
my daughter, bring me a mustard seed
from house into which death has never
entered, and l will do as thou hast bid
den." The woman took up her dead
child and began her search. She went
from house to house, saying, " Give me
mustard seed, kind folks, mustard seed
for the prophet to revive my child"
And they gave her what she desired.
And when she had taken it she inquired:
"They are all gathered around the
hearth here, father, mother, and the
children; is it not so? They are sound,
in hcalth's bloom ?" But the people
would shake their heads mournfully.
And, far as she wandered, through town
and village, in the crowded thoroughfare
and by the lonely roadside, she met the
same experience still. There was a
vacant seat by the hearth, which re-
.mained untitled though all were gath
cred. Then gradually, as she went on,
the outbursts of her grief abated, and
the meaning of the Buddha's words
dawned upon her mind. Gradually, as
she learned to know the great sorrow of
the race everywhere around her, her
heart ceasing to dwell on its own selfish
pang, went out in strong yearning to
the companions of her suffering. The
tears of her pity fell free and fast, pas
sion slowly melted away is compassion.
From passive suffering she turned to
active helping, sought redemption by
redeeming. She had learned the highest
virtue which the Buddha taught, n,aitri,
the consciousness of wide fellowship, the
love of mankind, the perfect renuncia-
ton of self in behalf of the eternal
interests. Calm, answering self-control
to avoid pain, acts of sympathy to tighten
pain; such was the Buddha's answer to
the great question of the origin and de-
struction of suffering.

To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is trying

The Pennsylvania railroad company,
whose lines penetrate every section of the
Union, and directly connect all important
points with Philadelphia, has made magni6-
cent preparations for conveying, with safety
and comfort, the millions of people who in
tend visiting the Centennial Exhibition di-
rectly to the Centennial grounds. The loca-
ton of the Exhibition made it impossible
for any other railway to directly reach the
Exhibition buildings and grounds, and the
management, ever since the site was des-
ignated, has employed its gigantic equip
ments and unrivaled facilities to make the
Exhibition success, by providing the
amplest accommodations at the minimum
price, for both exhibitors and visitors. 1t
was fitting that a railway company national
in its character and operations, should thus
second the commissioners in illustrating our
centennial history by demonstrating the
high degree of excellence attained by the
railway transportation system of America,
in making the great thoroughfares uniting
the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi
valley, the West, Northwest and Southwest
with the Centennial City, as Perfect as posi-
bic In all its essentials and details.

nels of continental INSTRUMENTATION

eral waiting room, 100 ny 100 feet, q ladies'
waiting room eighty-one by 100 feet, bag
gage room forty-nine by 100 feet, ticket
office thirty by forty feet, a package room
ten by thirty feet, and number of retiring
rooms, all handsomely finished, and pro-
vided with every convenience. The rooms
on the second floor are for the use of the
railroad officials and employees.
This depot is reached BY circle of three
tracks sweeping from the main roadway
four-6fths of mile long, and the diameter
of the circle they describe is 600 feet. All
trains will enter this circle heading west,
and depart from the depot heading east.
Three trains can be landing or receiving
passengers in front of the depot at the
same time, the entire tracks being foored
over, and no matter in what direction the
trains may come or 60, they can be moved
without confusion, delay or danger.
Seventeen additional sidings have been
constructed, connected with this circle. of a
length of 1000 feet each, upon which wait
ing trains can be run and remain with en-
gines attached, until the time arrives for
them to enter upon the circle, receive their
passengers, and depart for destination.
This arrangement of tracks and sidings is
novel, and affords facilities for the transac-
ton, without detention or confusion, of an
almost unlimited passenger business.

or ten miles, and every modern appliance
for combining the highest speed with the
most perfect safety has been adopted. The
company has built 200 elegant cars, with
engines of the first class ample to move all
trains that may possibly be required.
Centennial visitors will find the Pennsyl-
vania road the only direct route from the
West, North and East to the Centennial
Exhibition, the rates as low as by any other
route, the time made by it the quickest, and
the accommodations for comfort, luxury
and safety unequaled. Careful agents, on
all trains, will arrange for the prompt and
cheap delivery of all baggage, and, for fifty
cents, sell seats in a comfortable carriage to
any point in Philadelphia.
Above all, these visitors will be landed at
the very doors of the Exposition, in the
beautiful Centennial depot of the company
represented in the above cut. 1t stands OPP

exhibition building from Machinery hall,
facing the principal entrance gate and tho

southern shores of the great lakes, on the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers, and on the At
lantic harbors. The main road from New
York to Philadelphia, though passing
through the principal cities of New Jersey,
does not deviate six miles from an air line,
and this detection is due to the interposition
of navigable waters. These routes not only
excel in directness as we'll as in the number
of important cities and towns they connect,
but they are confessedly superior in con-
struction and equipment. Between Pitts
burgh and New York, IA miles, the entire
line is double track, laid with heavy steel
rails with joints connected between ties by
a process that gives the effect of continuous
rail, on which there can be no unpleasant
jarring All bridges on the line are of iron
or stone. A large portion Of this distance is
provided with third track, which enables
freight trains to keep entirely out OF the
way of passenger travel, and permits the
express trains to run their allotted distance
without interruption, and near Philadel-
phia, and other important terminal points,
four tracks have, for considerable dis
tances, been completed.
The Block signal system, exclusively
used on the Pennsylvania railroad through
out its entire length, compels the engineer
of train to know whether the track is
clear or not to the next station, be it one

GOING UNwLLINGLY TO A CONVENT.
"A pathetic scene was witnessed at the
Boston and Albany railroad station yes
terday morning. Four young ladies from
the Catholic societies of Boston and vi
cinity arrived to take the cars for Gin
cinnati to enter a convent, accompanied
by about sixty weeping friends and rela-
tives, who came to bid them adieu.
When one Of the young ladies arrived at
the gate, her courage failed, and she

The mother told her she could, and she
must, and the poor girl was actually
forced from her mother through the gate
of the cars.-Boston Transcript.
