EMINENT German statisticians hav

EMINENT German statisticians have
recently published an estimate of the
total amount of capital invested in the
construction of railroads since Ste
phenson's experimental locomotive first
gided over double rail, revolutioniz-
ing the transport system of our earth.
The result of their calculations is the
amazing sum of seventy-fye milliards
of francs, or$l5,Oo 100000. The event
that inaugurated the expenditure of
such sum as this-nearly $15 head
for every human being inhabiting the
terrestrial globe-is worthier of cele-
bration by jubilee ceremonies than the
anniversary of great battle.

PROF. BAIRD says the collection of
the Fish Commission during the last
two years have added two valuable food
fishes to the list of saltwater fish usual
ly found in the markets of the Atlantic
cities. These fish are the pole-founder
and the tile-fsh. The former has been
found in great quantities and over a
wide range. It is destined to become
an important source of our fish supply,
both on account of its abundance and
its fine qualities as an article of food
The tile-fsh resembles the cod in some

In Wilkie Collins last novel the scene
laid in England i'll 1917. Two of the
1aracters are made to speak of taking
zpress trains, and another one sends a
llegram. AS there were no passenger
lilroads in England before 1926, and
tactical telegraphy only dates from
344, there is mean disposition to
life with Mr.. Collins reputation for
curacy. If Mr.. Collins, however, will
anage to keep the villain constantly
pursuit of the heroine, the average
ovel-reader will forgive him for igno-
nee of the cold facts of history. .-

The United States Consul at Bir-
mingham relates, in an interview tele-
graphed by cable, an incident showing
how necessary it is that American ex-
porters should deal with none but re-
sponsible houses in England. He once
saw fifty boxes of American butter sold
at auction for is cents pound. A few
days later forty boxes of the same but

house, which was willing to vouch for
the quality of the article, was sold to
customers for % cents pound. Dur

TEASING A TURK.
A Washington Bellies Joke on the Turkish
Minister

Washington Bellies Joke on the Turkish
Minister
A Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Inter Ocean tells the follow
ing: The Turkish Minister at Washing
ton, whose name is Aristache, is given
to jewelry of the gorgeous kind. He
wears immense rings and pins and shirt
studs, and has an assortment that would
make woman wild. The number and
value Of his jewels is fabulous, and he
keeps them in precious casket locked
with golden key. It is said that he
has set of rings and pins, etc., for
every day in the year, and would sooner
cut his nose off than wear the same set
two days in succession.
When Gen. Beale's daughter, who
married the Russian Duke with an i'm
possible name, Was here, Aristache gave
her reception, and, with Oriental hos
pitality, met her at the door with a
golden dish of salt, and kissed the hem
of her dress. 1t is Turkish custom
to show respect by offering an honored
guest, as a gift, the one possession
that the host prizes most, which, of
course, it is the proper thing for the
guest to decline. So Aristache, in the
manner OF his nation, rendered the
Duchess the golden key to the casket of
jewelry, She knew his vanity, and,
liking to tease him little, accepted the
gift, and attached the key to the chain
that hung about her neck. When she
left at the close of the evenings enter
tainment, she took the key with her.
Aristache had the horrors. He waited
day or two, but the key did not come
back. He called upon her, but she did
not mention it. He had worn the same
iewelry for three days, and was suffer
ing torment. He sent for locksmith,
but it was no go. The only way he
could get at his jewelry was to recover
the key Or smash the silver box. Some
of his friends conveyed mild hints to
his tormentress, but they were of no
avail. The society gayety was at its
height. She appeared everywhere with
the golden key hanging at her neck,
but the poor Turk was a prisoner OF
circumstances. He wouldn't wear the
same jewels week, if he never went
out again, and was on the verge of sui
eide when the key came back, with a
polite little note hoping that he had
suffered no inconvenience. Aristache
thanked Mohammed, and was himself
again.

Fred and Jack, my darlings, let me
tell you true story. I found these lit
tie boys down on Park street, that first
day it showed. They have no home
they have no father or mother, no one
to take care of them. Bob holds horses,
sweeps crossings, or does anything he
can to earn little for Tom and himself.
A woman down near the engine-house
lets them sleep in her woodshed. Their
father and mother died of yellow fever
last summer, while we were at grand
pas" Her voice faltered for moment
her dear old father had died but a
few months before-but then she went
on: I have brought them here to-day
to let you see what Thanksgiving's for;

they leave u.s." She stopped and waited
for an answer. Fred came quickly for

loving boy home meant all that was dear

Fred's blue suit and bright buttons with
sharp and wisttul eyes. Nearer came
little Jack, his cheeks red with excite

out, as if he couldn't believe so great a
sorrow could be borne.
"No," again said Bob, this time put

now standing close beside them. sli.
"No," broke in Tom, with little
choke in his voice; "she died before
the rest"
Poor little Jack! the smiling baby
sister, in the rose-lined cradle upstairs,
was very angel to him, and this was
too much. Bursting INTO tears, he
cried out, clasping his arms around her
neck: "Oh, mamma, do feel so sorry
for them. Can't you do something for
them?"
Fred was crying, too, now, and papa
walked to the window and stood with
his back to them all, but mamma
smiled, though tears were in her eyes.
Drawing Fred close to her, she said,
laying her hands on Jacks curly head,
buried in her lap: -",
"Shall we give them some good
warm clothes, and when they are
washed and dressed shall they come
and eat dinner with us? Shall we give
them a look at baby, and let them hold
her little hands in theirs? Shall they
play funny games with us after dinner,
and sing with us when you are tired of
play? And when it is nearly dark
shall papa go with them to a kind man,
who will take care of them, and never
let them be homeless or hungry any
more?"

OF the war waged between man and
beast in India the yearly statistics are
once more public he'd, and it would seem
that during 1877 the slaughter was ter
rible. Nineteen thousand six hundred
and ninety-five people we're killed -46
by elephants, S19 by tigers, 200 by leop-
ards, s. by bears, 564 by wolves, "a by
hyenas, l,1SO by other wild animals,
and 1917 by snakes. Fifty-three thou
sand cattle, moreover, succumbed in the
fight. On the other side, under stimu-
lus Of reward amounting to more than
10000, 22,051 wild beasts and 127 ,292
snakes have been killed; large total
in itself, but small when the losses man
and domestic animals have sustained are
taken into consideration.
