TIE RAILROADS,
ANOTHER RMISUNDERSTAND M
MISEST.

MINENT.
As stated in THE TRIBUNE OF Yesterday, a
movement has been on foot for some time past
among some Of the roads leading from this city
to the East to bring about another advance In
freight rates. The Pennsylvania Company aud
the Baltimore il Ohio Railroad Company were
the parties engineering this movement. The
Michigan Central day or two ago signtfed its
willingness to agree to all increase, provided the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern would. But
the latter roal refused to make All advance in
rates ut this time. Why it took this position is
not known. It WAS certainly not because 1t
did not want higher rates, or because. It
thought the present rates high enough. A
railroad company is not very apt to take any
such position as that. It Is surnlised that the
principal cause of this action OIL the part Of the
Lake Shore Il Michigan Southern Is because ".
H. Vanderbilt is beginning tn find out that the
late agreement is working to the detriment Of
his roads, and that he intends to reopen hostil-
ties against the Pennsylvania and Baltimore &
Ohio Railroads as soon as practicable. The lat
ter two roads having tried in vain to induce the
line controlled by Vanderbilt to accede to an
advance decided upon raise 10 rates on their
own hook, thinking thereby to incite his appc-
tito for higher rates and get him to come up nlso
Therefore the representatives OF these roads

These rates are cents higher to New York
than the old rates. The new tariff, which is for
burg, Cincinnati & St. Louis, and Baltimore &
Ohio Railroads only, will 60 into effect to-mor-
row. The Michigan Central would not join be-
cause the Michigan Southern did not.
Ii Mr.. Vanderbilt sticks to the position be
has taken, and refuses to be tintimidated,"
there is no danger that the above tariff will re-
main in forre great length Of time. The Phil
adc1pAia and Baltimore roads cannot charge
higher rates than tile New York roads, or else
they will lose the advantage they have gained
over the New York lines during the last few
years, and Vanderbilt would gain the point he
has been fighting for without much exertion.

He Would Have 1t.

Thedemand for blue glass has been so great during the past few weeks that an advertiser in the paper, whose stock was nearly exhausted resorted to the following method to obtain exorbitant prices for what he had left.
 A customer comes in and asks:" Have you any blue glass '"
 "Yes, we have little; I believe, one pane. What do you want for it7 Is it for lady or gentleman I"
 ''It is for my wife,"
 "Well, the glass used for ladies has been so much called for, that we have only few feet left"
 Customer: "Well, I must have some, it I can get It. I have been to several places."
 Salesman: Take 8 seat, sir, and will send back and see. Tom, have we any No. S4 left '"
 Tom: "I will look" Hunts for blue glass, and returns saying there is just one piece, about 7x13.
 Salesman: "Well, we don't want to sell it ali; we are verry sorry, sir"
 Gus omer: "I will give you your own price for that piece?'
 Salesman: "Well, you can have it for two dollars; but would rather keep it.' And he got his price.

The Sport Of FaIcOnry.

Falconry, as it used to be practised, was 8 most fascinating pursuit. It's or igin is lost in the remotest ages of an tiquity. It is sufficiently clear, however that it came to Europe from the East, where, from time immemorial, it has been a favorite amusement. The Ori- entals have always trained the hawk, the greyhound and the cheetah or hunt ing leopard, and at this moment hawk ing is as much national sport in Per sia as coursing in England. The first European writer of any eminence who treated of falconry, was one Julius Fir micus, whose name would seem suffici- ently to denote his northern origin. This learned author lived about the middle of the fourth century, and wrote most able treatise in Latin on the art of Hawking" From his day downward falconry became more and more fashionable, and in Doomsday Book constant references to it are to be found. In those times an English gen. tleman carried his hawk on his wrist and was attended by his hound, almost as matter of course, and hawk would sometimes fetch price which
 when allowance is made for the differ ence in the value of money, would now be considered almost extravagant for a Derby winner. Toward the end of the reign of Edward III. falcons of good breed began to be scarce, and accord ingly it was made felony without bene. fit of clergy to steal hawk. while tC take it's eggs was punishable with i'm prisonment for a year and day, and s fine at the Kings pleasure. Hawking as a pastime, continued, as no student of Shakespeare need be reminded; long into the Tudor period. It died out with the Protectorate, and on the res toration of Charles II. it was found tt be practically extinct. According to a Dublin journal, this sport of the anci' ent English gentry is about to be resus' citated in Ireland.-Belps Life.

The LiffIe Bear.

The Little Bear is small but most interesting constellation. I do not think that the Little Bear, like the larger, one, was so named because of any imagined resemblance to a bear. The original constellation of the Great Bear was much older than the Little Bear, and so many different nations agreed in comparing the group to 8 bear. that there must have been real resemblance to that animal in the con- stellation as first figured. Later, when star maps cam to be arranged by as- tronomers who had never seen bears' they supposed the three bright stars forming the handle of the Dipper to represent the tail of the bear, though the bear is not long-tailed animal. They thus set three stars for the bears tail, and the quadrangle of stars form ing the dipper for the bears body. It was not formed by fanciful folks m the childhood of the world, but by astron- omers. Yet it must not be imagined that the constellation is 8 modern one. It not only belongs to old Ptolemy's list, but is mentioned by Aratus, who borrowed his astronomy from Eudoxus, who "f1ourished" Gus the school books call it) about 36O years before the Christian era. It is said that Thales formed the constellation, Tn which case it must have reached the respectable age of about 2500 years.
 But if the Little Bear is not a very fine anlmal, it is most useful constel- lation. From the time when the Phe- nicians were as celebrated merchant seamen as the Venetians afterward be- came, and as the English speaking na- tions now are, this star group has been the exposure of every sailors regard. In fact, the word exposure" was origi- nally name given either to the whole of this constellation or to part of it. Cynosure has become quite poetical expression in our time, but it means literally "the dogs tail.
 Admiral Smyth gives some particu- lars about the two stars in the Little Bear called the guardians of the pole. "Recorde tells us," he says, ''in the Castle of Knowledge,' nearly three hundred years ago, that navigators used two pointers in Ursa-'whicf many do call the Shafte, and others dt name the Guardas, after the Spanish tonge.' Richard Eden, in 1884, pub lished his 'Arte of Navigation,' anC therein gave rules for the 'starres. among which are special directions fol the two called the guards, in the moutl of the horne, as the figure was called. (The pole-star would mark the smal end of the horne.) "How often,' say
 Hervey in his "Meditations," ''hav' these stars beamed bright intelligenc, on the sailor and conducted the keel t' it's destined haven!"-iSt. Nicholas.

The Stlk.WOrm.

Is 8 caterpillar and if 1t lived through the existence intended for it would eventually become 8 moth, which naturalists call bombyx. It was dis covered great many years ago that they produced fine article of silk which might be used with advantage in the manufacture of different garments; in other words that "there was money in them" Consequently they have since been carefully fed and treated. The caterpillar thrives best upon the leaves of the white mulberry. After hatching from the egg it feeds vora- ciously, moults three or four times, and attains a length of about three inches, being of pale green color. It now ceases eating and prepares the cocoon in which it is to pass the chrysalis state. If you would know the exact method in which this cocoon is constructed you have only to capture few of the large green caterpillars so common upon the willow during summer and watch them for they both perform the operation in exactly the same manner. They are near relatives to each other. The sub stance from which the silk is produced is contained in two long sacs, one on either side of the body. A thread from each sac passes through a tube or duct in the front of the head, where they are cemented together by a kind of gum forming one thread. The caterpillar first forms loose, irregular structure, inside of which it constructs the firmer oval cocoon of one continued thread by moving his head around from point to point in zig-z course. If left alone he would after a while complete his development, make his way through the end of the cocoon and become hand some moth. But under cultivation, by steaming or otherwise the greater part of the chrysalids are killed within the cocoon. By placing the cocoon in warm water the gummy cement is softened, so that the silk may be reeled of. The cocoon of one healthy caterpillar will produce from 600 to 1000 yards of silk thread.
 Although what have told you has been in great part only interesting facts in the life-histories of insects, you may have noticed that in the investigation of the embryology and metamorphosis of insects, other facts have been dis covered which in a commercial point ol view are of incalculable value to us, anG from which we are all of us every day deriving benefit .r...
 The discrimination of noxious insects from those we can utilize, the medicina properties, of certain species and th' finding out of the exact stage at whicf time insects are most damaging to oul crops, and the best means of preventing the same, are all subjects of great i'm
 portance to us.

Ride Your Time.

Every man must patiently bide his time; not in idleness, in useless pastime, or querulous dejection, but in con- stantly accomplishing his task, that when occasion comes he may be equal to it. The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well. without thought of fame. If it comes at all, 1t comes because it is deserved, not because it is sought after. It is a very discreet and troublesome ambition which cares so much what the world says of us; to be always anxious about the effect of what we do say; to be al- ways shouting to hear the echoes of our voice.

An Absent.Nlinded Painter. {.

Miss Jane Stuart, daughter of Gilbert Stuart, the painter, in her recollections of of her father, published in Scribner's Monthly, tells the following anecdote of his lack of method in business matters. (Stuart once painted a picture for MT. Hare of Philadelphia "On it's com- pletion, MT. Hare made the requisite payment to my father, who atonce said: "Excuse me, this picture has been paid for" "Excuse me for contradicting, MT. Stuart, but it has not, Iassure you," replied MT. Hare. My father conld not remember the circumstances. MT. Hare persisted in paying the amount due, and handed him six hundred dollars, which was high price at that period. The picture was full-length of MT. Hare, with his little daughter introduced. This anecdote was related to me by the daughter herself, when quite advanced in life. I write it as an instance of my fathers utter inability to transact bus iness." It would seem that Stuart in herited his absence of mind, for Miss Stuart, in the same article, says:
 "How we'll do I remember listening to my grandmother's stories of those dear old times; for instance, how they would both go to church on billion. On one occasion, my grandfather (who was the most absent minded of men), while jogging along, lost in a reverie, dropped my grandmother on the road. He soon became aware of her absence, however, and turning suddenly, rode back, exclaiming, 'God's-my-life, are you hurtP' There she sat, enjoying her anticipation of his surprise when he should discover her plight"

Industry of Bulgarian women.

The correspondent of London news paper writes: Every house has its rude loom, of a make so primitive that one wonders how such good material is produced by it, for the Bulgarian cloth though rather rough in texture, is of excellent quality, and will wear for years; 8 finer kind is however produced in the towns and at Kazan, in the will ayet of the Danube; was assured that they could initiate any quality of pat tern of cloth that might be given to them. The other woolen articles made are chiefly carpets, generally in long narrow strips of bright color, some- thing like the Spanish blankets; rugs of different patterns, cushions or pill low cases, and bed coverlets; they are sold either in the provinces or to the Constantinople market, and do not think there is any export for them; in- deed as the sheep of Romuelia give only about two pound and three quar- ters of wool to the fleece, the amount produced is probably barely sufficient for internal consumption. One of the most striking things in these villages is the apparently ceasless industry of the women and girls, every one of whom. whether seated on the door step, walking in the street, or going o the fountain with her pails over her shoul- der on yolk like milkmaid's, always carries hank of wool tied on distaff under one arm, and twirls spindle. In Kazan walked twenty minutes without being able to find one-iter- ally one-woman or girl above eight years of age without this accompani- ment, and mothers carry their babes in sort of bag on their backs, so as to have their hands free to use the spin dle

"GOD KNOWS.

Oh wild and dark was the winter night, When the emigrant ship went down, But just outside of the harbor bar, 1 In the sight of the startled townl Ths winds howled. and the sea roared, And never Q soul could sleep, Save the little ones on their mothers breasts Too young to watch and weep. No boat could live in the angry surf, No rope could reach the land; There were bold, brave hearts upon the shore There was many s ready hand; Women who prayed and men who strove When prayers and work were vain,- For the sun rose over the awful void And the silence of the main All day the watchers paced the sands All day they scanned the deep; All night the booming minute-guns Echoed from steep to steep.

A Promise.

A promise should be given with cau- tion and kept with care. A promise should be made with the heart, and re- membered by the head. A promise Is the offspring of the intention, and should be nurtured by recollection. A promise and its performance should, like true balance, always present a mutual adjustment. A promise delayed is justice deferred. Apromise neglected is an untruth told. A promise attended to is 8 debt settled.
