Prosperity Of Rolling Mills,

The North Chicago Rolling Mill com.
pany are running both their Chicago
mill and Bay View mill to the fullest
capacity of each. The company are
pushed for facilities, and are in an ex-
cellent financial condition, with bright
prospect ahead. In the latter part of
December last a meeting was called and
a stock dividend of twenty-eight per
cent. was declared, and the capital OF
the company increased from 50 $40, ;
600 to 100000. This was brought
about by the increase Of facilities. This
month it became apparent that n still
greater capacity was necessary, and as
tue North Chicago Rolling Mill COM
pany had reached the limit Of their
charter, for capital, it was decided to or
game n new company under the name
Of the North Chicago Steel company,
with " capital Of $2,0oo,00o, with the
same directors and officers. AT the
semi-annual meeting of the directors OF

travellers. In October, 1873, one Geh.

the car would be attached At Alexan.
dria junction, but it was not attached
until the train reached Baltimore, and
he not being informed of the fact, re-
manned in an ordinary car, caught cold,
and was made sick. He, therefore,
sued the Pullman Palace Car Company
and recovered damages. The defense
was, that the railroad company, having
entire control Of the movement OF
these oars, and not the Pullman Palace
Car Company, was responsible. Judge
Cox, in his opinion, discusses the rela-
tions the two companies bear to each
other, and says the party bought the
privilege OF sleeping berth, and was
therefore, entitled to it, aud the com.
pany WAS liable.

The Bellies Of Seville.

Poets have pictured Seville bellies as
"dark-eyod angels" Like the proverh
quote above, there is more poetry than
truth in this expression. l never yet
saw dark.eyod angel portrayed by a
painter, though there may be many OF
them ready to pose for that position;
and have seen more beautiful women
here with blue rather than black eyes.
A sort Of deep violet blue, with black
iringes of lashes, are terribly fascinat
ing eyes in Seville. You see the same
type in parts of Ireland, and, by my

THE BEGINNING OF LENT.-The Lenten fast OF
forty days commenced on Ash Wednesday, Feb.
ruary 18th. The Sundays during Lent are not
regarded as days of fasting. Therefore without
them the forty days will expire on the 9th OF
March, and the following d.y, the 2Sth, will be
Easter Sunday At least three fourths OF ali ihr
professed believers in Christianity in the world
observe, with more or less strictness the lenten
fast of forty days. The custom is us old as the
Christian religion itself, and the duty of fast
ing was positively enjoined, the period of forty
days was probably fixed because that was the
duration of the Savour's fasting and temptation
in the wilderness. In this country Lent is OBJ
served principally by the Roman Catholic and
Protestant Episcopal Churches, and is marked
by frequent and solemn services in church, and
by acts of selt-denal and charity at home and
elsewhere. Even the world of fashion comedies
something to Lent, not regarding it dccorous to
indulge in gaieties during this season.
On Ash Wednesday service were held in the
Roman Catholic and Protestant Episcopal
churches of the county.
Shrove Tuesday, the day preceding Ash We'd
nesday, was the day when in oden times peni
tents confessed their sins and were shrven by
the priest, so as TO prepare themselves for bet.
ter observance of Lent.
Pancakes constitute portion of the dinner in
many families on this day, the belief being that
if you do not have pancakes for dinner on Shroye
Tuesday, you will not be successful in raising
chickens. Among our German friends dough.
nuts generally take the place of pancakes
They are called tastndchts, for the reason that
they are made to be eaten on the day preceding
the fast.
