Four thousand, six hundred and fifty

the United States the past year. and there
are now in operation S6,497 miles of road.
In the nine years beginning with 1865,
there were built 36,396 miles of road,
almost equivalent to the total number in
operation in 1866. although railroad
building began in this country in 1880,

The Armiess YiOlInist.

There is a young man in Germany, by
the name of Hermann Unthan, without
arms, who is said to be an admirable vio-
linist.
He is the son of poor village school
master at Sommerfeld, near Elbing. The
violin lies upon kind of footstool,
which he himself designed. The young
violinist sits before it on an ordinary
chair. In tuning the instrument he
turns the screws with the toes of the
right foot, one of which also serves to
press the strings, while he grasps the
bow lightly and tenderly with the toes on
the left foot. Gliding over the four
strings with soft touch, he produced a
pure trill with his two toes as quickly
and with as much precision as the best
violinist with two fingers. He can play
an entire line of chords in valse time.
He has in his power all the shades of ex-
preston. from the pianissimo to the
modern forte.
Hermann Upthan is no object of pity,
but q perfectly contented man. He is
happy in the thought that he has helped
himself, and that he has perfectly over
come the apparent helplessness with
which he came into the world. He does
not feel the want of arms, which he never
possessed. His legs are his arms, his
feet are his hands, his toes are his
fingers, and with them he does all that
other men do with arms, hands and
fingers.
He is young man, full of life and
eager for travel. and will probably go
through the whole world.
He is accompanied by two faithful at
tendants, one of whom manages all his
concerts, lodgings and things of that
kind. He is certain of the success which
he SO highly deserves, not only for his
artistic skill, but for his excellent dis
position. It is said that he transmitsa
large portion of his gains to Sommerfeld
for the support of his parents.

On an English Railway.

Bells are scarcely needed, for all
crossings are guarded by gates and
attended by gatemen, who close
them at least ten minutes before the
passage of train is expected. Cow
catchers are also as unnecessary as
bells, for the locomotive can catch a
COW Just as we'll without them. AL
though the guard has practically the
control of the train, yet the engine
driver is responsible for keeping
time. If time is lost on one part Of
the journey it must he made up, if
possible, at another. If there is no
reason for losing time the engine
driver is docked sixpence for every
minute lost. Under these circum-
stances it is safe TO say that no time
is lost that cannot be accounted for.
Trains are often pushed to a reckless
speed to avoid the fine. "Fire, Tom"
is heard more frequently from the
engineer as he presses his nose
against the circular pane of glass
and peers ahead.
l remember being on the locomo
tive with an engineer one day, who
was trying to make up time, the
train being the mid day express. He
had pushed up the rate OF speed un-
til it was fully mile minute, when,
on turning sharp curve to enter
upon bridge which crossed small
river, horse was observed on the
track not more than hundred yards
ahead.
s'Too late to slack up" mutterod
the engineer as he opened the throt-
tie valve wider, accelerating if posi-
BILE the speed of the train. The horse
was standing with its tail toward the
approaching locomotive. A moment
and the bunter of the engine struck
the animal a good way abaft the
beam and knocked him completely
off the bridge into the river. The
train scarcely felt the jar the shock
was so sudden and the removal of
the obstruction SO rapid. Imagine
our surprise on turning around to
see the horse rise to the surface and
swim for the shore. Whether he
ever reached it or not, or what dam
age he sustained [ cannot say, for
we passed on like whirlwind.
When the driver completes his
journey he steps from his engine and
examines it with critical eye to see
that it has sustained no damage
either to it's machinery or ornamen-
tai parts during the journey. Then
he gives his fireman such instruc-
tions as he may deem necessary, and,
taking his jacket under his arm,
hurries to the refreshment room of
the station hotel to solace himself
with glass. The passenger engine
driver is seldom a total abstainer.
He is sort OF dashing, reckless fell
low, qualities he seems to acquire
from the nature of his occupation. /
have known q great many of them
and they were nearly all alike in this
respect.

The Wheel Horse.

There is o wheel horse in every family;
some one who takes the load on all oc-
casions. It may be the older daughter,
possibly the father, but generally it is
the mother. Extra company, sickness,
gives her heavy increase of the burden
she is always carrying. Even summer
vacations bring less rest and recreation
to her than to others of the family. The
city house must be put up in order to
leave; the clothing for herself and the
children which country soiourn de-
mands seems never to be finished; and
the excursions and picnics which delight
the heart of the young people are not
wholly delight to the "proyider.
once heard husband say, .'My wife
takes her sewing-machine into the
country and has good time doing up
the fall sewing" At the time I did not
fully appreciate the enormity of the
thing: but it has rankled in my memory,
and appears to me now an outrage. How
would it be for the merchant to take his
books into the country with him to go
over his accounts for a little amusement?
Suppose the minister writes up few
extra sermons, and the teacher carries a
Hebrew grammar and perfects himself in
new language, ready for the opening
OF school IN the fall?
Woman's work is never done. She
would never have it done. Ministering
to father and mother, cherishing her
husband, nourishing and training her
children-no true woman wants to see her
work done. But because it is never
done she needs resting times.
Every night the heavy truck is turned
up, the wheel horse is put into the sta
III LII. i re,<,l,
til the morrow. The thills of the house
hold van cannot be turned up at night,
and the tired housemother cannot go
into quiet stall for repose. She goes
to sleep tonight feeling the pressure of
tomorrow. She must have had IAN eye"
over all until everyone was in bed, and
must keep an eye ready to open at any
moment to answer the need of children,
and open both eyes bright and early to
see the machinery well started for new
day.
There is never any time that seems
convenient for the mother of little chill
dren to leave home even for a day; but
with little kindly help from her hus-
band, and little resolution in herself,
she may go, and be so much the better
for it that the benefit will overflow from
her into the whole household. She will
bring home some new idea and will work
with the enthusiasm that comes from q
fresh start
One word for the older sister; who
makes the salad for lunch and the des-
sert for dinner, who takes the position of
wheel horse quite cheerfully while her
younger sisters make themselves beauti-
full and entertaining. and, one after an
other, find cone true heart" apiece to
love them, and leave the maiden to grow
into an old maid. However willing her
sacrifice, it is one; and nothing but the
devoted love and gratitude of the house
holds whose fires she has helped to kim
die will reward her for what she has
given

''And did you never hear no more of
that feller as Civ yer the blanket?" asked
one of the audience with undistinguished
interest.
''Never, worse luck; and I don't sup
pose I shall ever now, for it's fifteen
years since it happened, and I've never
been south SINCE"
At that moment sharp voice said,
close to his ear:
''Say, Yank, I guess you'll want o
blanket to-nightF'
The soldier started as if he had been
shot, and turning hastily found himself
confronted by the thin face q the one
armed newspaper man, lit up with a
knowing smile.
.sWhy, if there amt the very man
himselfl'' shouted the narrator, seizing
him with both hands, s'Well who'd
ever have thought it? You're just going
along to New York with me, old chap,
and you don't ever go back to peddling
papers while I'm about"

his word.-G0Od Company.
