DEMONSTRATION Of the return Of prs
perity to this country is happily no Ion
ger Necessary, but therc is no more
striking illustration Of il than the extent
10 which railroad building is going on.
A commercial paper in New York prints
. list Of new railroads constructed and
projected within the last seven months,
which occupies no less than four col
umns, Within this period, according to
this authority, 2,97l miles Of road have
been completed, and preliminary AZ
r.nsements have been made for the inn
mediate building Of 1854 miles, making
the total Of completed and project
Al roads since September 1, 1873. Is
sl2 miles. This nearly equals the en-
ti,s increase Of mileage for the three
wears 1859, 1870 and 1871, which have
been looked upon As the most active
and inflated period Of railroad eonstrue-
ton in the history Of the United States.
Taking the actual cash cost Of thsse
railway enterprises TO be sl7.5o mile.
the CONCLUSION Is reached that they VIII

n Code of Etiquette.

The card should be printed or written
very plainly.
White cards. without any establishment,
are regarded as in the best taste; avoiding
extremes in size.
The gcntlcman's card should contain
nothing except the name and address of the
caller; Ill general omit the address.
The titles of "IIon.," "Mr.," "Esu. "
ETC., are not allowed on calling cards
''Nlrs.," or "NIiss" are admissible on
ladies cards Professional titles, such rs
"Dr.," "1ev." and M. d." etc., are ad-
missiblc On gcntlcmcn's cards.
"A military title, such as 'Iicut., )"
"Capt.," "Gen.," 'U. S. A. ,""U. S. N, :"
etc., is also admissible.
The handsomest style is that which Is
engraved; next is that which is beautifully
written; next comes the printed card, in
text letter.
At hotel, when calling on any one, send
your card and await reply in tho rcccp-
ton room.
If two or more ladies are in the house
hold, the turning down of corner signifies
that the card is for all the ladies.
Cards may be left Immediately where a
death is known, but Il call of sympathy and
coincidence is not to be until week after
the bereavement.
The lady in mourning who may not de-
sire to make calls will send mourning-car(l
to her friends instead during tho season of
retirement from society.
IL is quite well to send in your card by n
servant, rs the cmispronunciaton of the name
is thus avoided
If Il lady is not at homc 1t will also serve
to show that you have called.
The hostess should, if not desiring to sec
any one, send word that she is engaged
when the servant first goes to the door, and
not after the card has been sent up.
1t is admissible, when lady docs not
desire to see caller, to instruct the servant
to reply that ''the mistress Is not at home"
tho understanding being that, whether in
tho house or not, she Is ''not ut home" for
the reception of callers.

In taking a letter of introduction to a
lady in the city, if you send it to her by the
servants who answers the bell, also send
your card with the same.

Darnpen the Air.
We can hardly too often suggest the i'm
nct, nf diInr

We can hardly too often suggest the i'm
portance Of providing ample moisture in all
rooms heated by stoves, furnaces. steam
pipes, or hot water pipes. There are sound
scientific reasons for this, as well as in tho
results of q practical cXpe,i iece. AS stated
in "Short Notes of Air." every degree of
heat addedto the atmosphere in room
gives it Il power of absorbing and sccretiug
moisture. The air in q room 20 by 20 feet
and ten feet high, at 80 deg. holds, sccrctes,
about 2pintsof water. The same air heat
ed at 70 deg. secretcs upwards of two quarts
OF water; and unless this is supplied it is
hungry for moro water, absorbs it from
every accessible source, from the furniture,
from our bodies, and essentially from the
breathing organs-thQ mouth, throat and
lungs. leaving them dry and husky. There
fore, every time the dir in the room Is
changed by the admission of fresh, cold air,
and heated to 70 deg. two quarts of wa;er
should be evaporated into the room. Tho
strong objections somA have to warm air
heaters have arisen nlajnly from this cause
In using furnace heatefs we always put into
the hot-air chamber taSra water pans be-
sides any that are supplied by the manufac-
turcrs, and take goodSarc to always have
them filled with @aSer In stovc-hcatcd
rooms there should us&ally be an evaporat-
ing surface Of wdtet Equal to one square
foot for every twelve feet square of flooring,
and more if the watcrts not on place hot
enough to keep it fapdly cvaporating.
Plants in room arc mainly DESTROYED, or
have a sokly growth, tvla,usc tho warm air
becomes too dry and sucks out tho very
juice OF the plants. The house plants
''ollvo" or othcrwisc-issuffcr similarly. In
warm room large lowell frequently wet
and wrung so as not to drip, and hung over
a chair back near thd stove, will make a
marked difference in the comfortable feeling
and hcathfulness of tic atmosphere.

Wonderful DOGS.

There Is wonderful dog in Detroit, an
Irish water spaniel. She always awakcns
her master at exactly 6 o'clock in the
morning. On Sundays, when he takes his
cane, she Is frantic. to accompany him on
his walk. She has useful talent for bring
ing In firewood. She has also passion for
sardines; sits at the table; but never offers
to eat what is on her plate until the family
have finished and risen. She is exceedingly
expert in catching ball. She has arrived
at the dignity of a long notice in Detroit
newspaper. Speaking of dogs, there is one
in Sacramento, CAL, famous for it's hostil-
ity to Chinamen; and if one of them enters
the house, he is liable to be nibbled. ''Thc
other day the dog went to the dining-room
and at once became furious. He growlcd,
barked and bristlcd and ran all about in
quest of his enemy, but as no Chinaman
was present, his conduct was regarded as
inexplicable, until crock of Chinese pre-:
served ginger was observed on the table.
That was what the dog smclt and what he
was after. 80 at least says the veracious
narrator of tho story.

with beautiful accuracy. During the
morning MIR. Smith advocated the removal
Of the canvas, on the ground that intrudcrs
deserved to suffer. In the wee small hours
of the next morning, however, he reached
his house in state Of scmi-inebrity which
made his footsteps uncertain, and while en-
tcrlng the door he was incautious enough
to place his right foot on the little spring
before he removed his left foot from the
doorstep. The result was rapid aerial
flight, fall into the canvas, q slide on the
sidewalk, and walk back to the door,
This little incident removed the objections
which Mr.. Smith had formerly to the can
vas, and one day he watched fifty or sixty
pcddlcrs and canvasscrs practice muscular
contortions during their flight from the step
to the canvas without feeling the slightest
regret that they were uninjurcd. 1t will
be proper in conclusion to inform the pub
lie that Mrs. Smith has reserved the patent
right Of her wonderful invention.

He settled down, slid his hat over his

when hundred pounds Of coal ratified

And spreading white wings 0 or tho land,
Bids stars eternal vigil keep
Till sleeps sweet influence shall restore
Tho earth to fruitfulnoss once more!
Thus the full year 80 lightly rounds
Her finished need of work. and stands
Exultant; though her folded hands
Assures us that all peace abounds, .h
And past all longing and regret
Is the fair goal her soul has set
How different vol We trembling stand
On our graves brink and cringing cling
TO all the transient hopes which fling
Their ftful lights along the strand,
And till our star Of life has set
Oheat us with longing and regret
Oh! typo Of everything Divine
Dear Nature-6raw us olosor yet,
Aud us whore no vain regret
Gan our unwilling souls confine,
And fold us in thy fond embrace,
When We shall meet Death face to faceI
