A Nice Little Railroad.

The shortest and most profitable rail
way i'm the world is probably to be seen
at Coney island, the Marine railway"
connecting the Manhattan Beach hotel
and the Brighton Beach hotel. 1t is 1900
feet in length, is laid with steel rail, and
has q handsome little station at each end.
Its guage Is three feet. The cost of this
miniature road, including stations and
equipment, was $4,000. The operating
expenses are $50 day, and the average
receipts are $3.50 a day the entire season,
$500 being sometimes taken in. The
fare charged is five cents. The property
paid a profit last year of 500 per cent on
lis cost.

Over and over again,
No matter which way turn,
always find in the book of life
Some lesson have to learn.
Unjust take my turn at the mill;
must grind out the golden grain;
mustWOrk at my task with a resolute will
Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need
OF even the tiniest flower,
Nor check the flow Of the golden sands
That run through single hour;
But the morning dews must fall. -
And the sun and summer rain
Must do their part and perform 1t all
Over and over again.
Over and over again
The brook through the meadow flows,
All over and over again.
The ponderous mill-wheel goes;
Once doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not in vain; AK
And a blessing failing us once or twice,
May come if we try again. fTe
The path that has once been trOd,
Is never so rough for the feet;
And the lesson we once have learned
Is never so hard to repeat.
though sOrrowful tears must fall, Z
And the heart to it's depths be riven
With storm and tempest we need them all
To render us meet for heaven.

THE Augusta, Georgia, Constitution
alist says: "The south has sparse
population, and very large body of her
inhabitants have not the time or means
to patronize railways" Probably it is
in order to save time that they stick to
the OK and mule carts upon the worst
highways on the continent. And why
has the south sparse population? Be-
cause she is sOlidly Democratic, and does
not allow freedom of speech, of the bal
lot, and of political opinions, and main
tain practices which repel immigration
and drive capital and enterprise away
from her.

Ar meeting of the Republican State

AT meeting of the Republican State
Central committee of Pennsylvania,
held in Philadelphia Thursday of last
week, most favorable reports were made
from every district in the state. The Re-
publican organization is being rapidly
perfected, and every indication points to
a largely increased Republican majority
in November. The Hon. Marshall jew
ell was present, and reported that from
all parts of the United States he was
daily in receipt of the most hopeful ac-
counts. He expressed the utmost conf
dence in Republican success. COnnecti-
cut. he said, was sure to vote for Gen.
Garfield in November. In at least three
of the southern states the Republican
party would make an aggressive cam
paign.

Small Compost Heaps.

All farmers know the value OF
compost and how to prepare it.
Many farmers manufacture hundreds OF
loads of the best manure in this way They
gather together on the premises forest
leaves, cornstalks, including the roots
weeds, vines, oi1al from fence-corners,
muck from ponds and bitches. oc-
casional sprinklings of lime through
the mass. layers of barnyard manure,
and thus build up oblong squares and
let it remain over winter. When April
arrives the mass has gone through fer
mentation and communion, and
presents a mound of fertilizing matter
better than a small gold mine would be
to the proprietor of the farm. But we
want to see these compost heaps in the
garden, and there is no reason why
they should not be there as well as up
on the farm. There is rubbish enough
in the garden, with the assistance of
leaves, some mole from the woods, if
attainable; if not, from portions of tho
premises where it can be spared; scrap
ings from the turnpike; manure from
the stable and every attainable sub
stance that will decay through the
winter. A little Stacked lime will be
good assistance. A half dozen to a
dozen loads of excellent manure will be
manufactured by the time it is wanted
in the spring, without mourning scarce.

Turkish Baths for Horses.

A novelty in the method of treating
horses afflicted with rheumatism, influ-
enza, pleurisy, filed legs, coughs, etc,
has been established at horse infirm-
ary in this city. The animal receives
Turkish bath similar to those given
human beings, and, it is claimed, with
the same beneficial effect. The bath is
a square room about ten feet by ten in
size, the floor being of stone. A fur
mace capable of emitting an intense de-
gree of heat is attached to the room,
tlues underneath the floor conveying it
into the apartment. When the afflicted
horse enters, the temperature of the
room is about ninety degrees Fab. The
warmth is gradually increased until
40 degrees is reached. The horse
sweats copiously. and the handwriting
of two attendants brings out a mass of
lather. This operation performed, the
horse is shampooed with cold water
and lead into the fresh air. The cold
water treatment closes the pores of the
skin and thwarts the danger of catch
ing cold. The manager of this estab-
lishment says that the bath has cured
large number OF horses troubled with
the complaints named, and that he is
constantly receiving others for cure.
Several of Mr.. Bonner's horses have
been bathed by him with good effect.
Tom Ochiltree, the celebrated racer.
had bath last summer, and was cured
of distressing sore on a hind leg in
short time. Although the Turkish bath
for horses is quite common in England,
this is probably the only one in Amer
lea. The late Admiral Rous, President
of the English Jockey Club, was firm
believer in the bath treatment. 1t
proved for horses in training safe way
of absorbing superiluous adipose tissue
without laying the foundation of future
unsoundness.-N.Y Graphic.

Well.Digging.

Is not modern well-digging-plain
we'll digging-rather unsatisfactory In
old times we used to dig for perma-
nent supply of water for ourselves and
a large stock of animals. Well-diggers
wisely began their work when springs
were low, for they knew that the value
of a well, and the chief struggle to get
a good one, lay in the bottom foot of
the excavation. in quicksand, gravel
and stone, hard pan or rock. They
husbanded their strength, and stored
their means for mighty wrestle with
nature in the last inch OF we'll bottom,
and they generally whipped out well
that could be depended upon. But how
is it nowadays? Is not the country
full of ridiculous, dry wells--dug for
small families and no cattle, into springs
that fail us just in time of need--the
holes of diggers who did not time their
beginning right to find water at its
lowest level, and could not or would not
fight the good fight for plentiful sup
ply of pure drink for man and beast in
a dry time to the bitter end? We en-
deayOr pretty hard, we think, in the
time of it, at our well-digging; but after
proving our work by use for five, or
eight, or ten years, we find we didn't
work quite hard enough, perhaps not
half hard enough, for the bottom foot
of permanent well may have cost more
than all the rest of the digging.
August, September and October are
usually the best months for this work.
Everything else being equal, the long
days of August give them the prefer
ence. The GOODNESS of the inside of a
well is grateful by contrast with the hot
summer weather outside.
Our modern well-diggers are not half
supplied with modern conveniences.
Too often they stick by alcohol as an
elevator, but forget to have good
sand-pump handy for the last settle
ment of the well-bottom. Pipes and
boring machines have educated our
minds away from good old-style we'll
digging, where we can see what we are
doing, and meet our difficulties man.
fully face to face.
With our sewerage and mills fouling
surface water in these days, we have
ten times the need of digging deeper
for a full andpure supply that our faith
ers had.-Harford COurant.

A New Breakfast Dish.

Mr.. Setemup came down stairs to .
ten o'clock breakfast with vacant
countenance and backward tendency
in his hair that made his two eyes
ache. He sat down at the table and,
picking up his knife and fork, glared in
uneasy wonder at something in the
platter before him. 1t had evidently
been fried in butter and was intended
for food. Mr.. Setemup harpooned it
with his fork and lifted it up bodily,
gazing at it with ever increasing won
der. "What under the sum-" he ex-
claimed at last lis this thing?" "Well,"
replied his patient wife, with just a
shadow of a sigh, lit looks like your
