Mr.. Mitchell, at the close of Mr.. Ewing's
said In explanation nat the propo-
led road was a ST. Louis as we'll as a Chicago
road, and that he was a st. Louis man. The
road would be twenty miles shorter from
Kansas Civ to Chicago than any other ;
twenty-cight miles longer to st. LOui than
the 1t. l.. Il. c. x n. and eighteen miles
longer than the Missouri Pacific. and that
this would be fully counrerbaIanced by

TOads in Tight Places.

Many instances are reported of the
discovery of toads immured III prison
of solid rock, where they have seem
ingly been confined for ages. The
circumstances relating to such cases
have not, however, been noted ny wit
ncsscs whose account could be accepted
10y scientific men as thoroughly conclu-
sivc. An instance of the kind has been
recently recorded i'll Ia NatHre which
is regarded by that journal as entirely
authentic
In the building of new chateau in
the Department of Alsnc, materials
from the old chateau were used rs much
as possible This building dated from
the end of the seventeenth century
One piece Of stone had in the middle cf
one side large, moist portion: 1T seem
ed otherwise sound. The stone was
sawn TO remove the moist exterior the
moisture was attributed ITO flow Of
water into the stone Of the Cd building)
and was put IN Il position IN a window
Time went on, and the stone (much to
the builders Disappointment did not
dry, but presented villainous contrast
to its surroundings. 1t was at length
decided to remove and sacrifice 1t, in
order to find out tie cause. On saving
right through the moist part, large,
irregular cavity tabout O.15 m. IN all di-
'ections) was found in the centre, and in
this cavity an enormous live toad,
which by squatting bad escaped the
saw.

How Economy is Praciiced in Holland

The department Of state has received
an interesting report on the social and
political condition of the Dutch, from
the minister Of the United States to the
Hague As an illustration of the care
fulncss and steadiness Of the Dutch, the
minister says that there has not been ii
bank failure in Holland during the last
forty wears and that the paper money
of the banks during that time has always
been equal to gold. In regard to fire in
surancc companies, there is no such
thing as failure on record, and while
the rate Of insurance does not exceed
one half Of per cent, the companies
are in the most flourishing condition,
realizing II to 10 per cent.
per annun. First class railroad travel
is only one cent per mile, and yet
the roads pay good dividends. Pilter-
ing officials are scarcely ever heard of.
When they shock the nation by turning
up they are severely punished. and for
ever dsgraced. No free passes are
printed, and managers and directors
have no power to pass anybody over
the roads free; all must pay the public
rates. Dishonesty of any kind, or fail
ure in business, means public dishonor,
and utterly bars the dishonest from any
future public confidence or liberation.
-Four millions Of people live within an
area Of 10000 square miles, fact un-
precedented in any other country, and
all appear to be happy, prosperous, and
contented. The secret Ofthis prosperity Is
in the fact that all live within their
incOme and that industry and honesty
are principles SO firmly established that
their violation is looked upon as an out
rage ON the national characteristics

ATLANTA, Ga, enjoys the distinction
Of being the greatest mule center III
the country. 1t is certainly situated III
the chief mule-producing country, and
distributes the animals over a large part
Of the south These hardy brutes are
fast supplanting the horse for farm and
dray work, on account Of their greater
cheappess and usefulness, and the mule
trade has grown to large proportions.
As many as 1890 Of the long-earcd
brutes have been received and sold in
Atlanta in one year, the finest coming
from, Kentucky and Tennessee, and
usually bringing from 500 to 1915 each.
