BALTIMORE & CHICAGO R. r.

The engineers are out upon the Pennsylvania
part OF this line, and have completed their trial
line from the town Of Beaver, or rather, the
mouth Of Brady Run, to the east fork Of Little
Beaver, in Columbiana county.
They are now running similar line between
the same points, by the way of the north branch
Of Brady, crossing the summit at different
point. Which will prove the better route will
depend upon thorough comparison of the dis.
taaCe, gradients, curvature, and cost of grading,
This is matter of exact mathematical calcula.
tion, from an exact "rule of equations" and not
gueSStporE, as Is by many persons supposed
From the east fork of Beaver to New Lisbon
there also exists two routes, so nearly alike as to
require instrumental dates for calculating the
eqttqted difference, which is the next work to be
attended to. Meanwhile Mr.. Miller of Wooster, is
actively engaged in working up Wayne and Ash
land counties, where the people generally hail
the effort with increasing enthusiasm
1t will be remembered, this ridge dividing the
waters of the Big Beaver and the Little Beaver is
high one, and presents the most serious obsta-
Gle upon this whole line, from Pittsburgh to Chi
cago Junction, The ascending grade to this
ridge is to be the maximum for the entire road.
This is now definitely determined, and found
that 35 feet per mile can be readily adopted and
II may be made only 81 feet per mile at an addi-
tionsl cost, not too great to be acceptable.
The barometric elevations taken by Mr.,
straughn last season were here verified almost
exactly He has examined all the difficult and
questionable portions of the route, and says a
grade may be obtained notexceeding the figures
mentioned at any point. x.

There is twelve year youngster living on B
street who never fails in answering any question
put to him. The other day bis father tried to
stump" him with this problem;
my son, suppose you had a kitchen in the
northwest corner Of your house and stable in
the southeast corner of your yard, so that when
the wind blew from the northwest there was a
strong smell Of corned beef and cabbage in the
house, and when the wind came from the south
east there was strong horse odor about the pre-.
misses, how would you act to prevent the corned
beef odOr from permesting the kitchen and the
horses odor from perfuming the stable2"
"Why," replied the lad, "rd keep my horses
In the kitchen and cook my corned beef In the
stable."- Virginia (Neu) Chronicle.

GRAHAM BREAD HISTORICALLY.

During the administration of William Pitt, in
England, there was great scarcity Of wheat, and
in order to make 1t go as far as possible, Parl&'
ment passed law that all the bread for the army
should be made out of unbolted wheat meal
History states that the result was such an improv
ed condition Of health among the soldiers as sur.
prised them, and also their officers and surgeons.
The officers declared that never before were the
soldiers so healthy and robust, and that disease
had nearly disappeared from the army. For a
long time this kind of bread was used almost ex,
clusively, but when wheat became once more
abundant, Its use was discontinued.

Democratic gains, These reports giving estimated
majorities in eleven country parishes, claim
Democratic gains of 10000, compared with the
Democratic count of 1876 The same parishes gave
Hayes 1900 majority. The dispatches say the
election passed off quietly, and most OF them re-
port negroes voting the Democratic ticket, and
