ST.. LOUIS, June 2S.--The Republican in an
article on the st. Louis railway system uses
the following language: $50 much attention
has recently been directed to the rapid develop.
ment of the st. Louis railway system in this
and co ntiguous States, that the general leader
of papers is apt to overlook the ready work
going on, at the same time to make St. Louis
the controlling center of the whole railway
system of the country That this
is the tendency of the extensive operations
In progress throughout that whole vast coun-
try west of the Mississippi river, no intelligent
and careful observer can question. It is not
only predestined as the center of the trans
Mississippi railway system by virtue OF its
geographical situation alone, but the fact the
prepondering influence in all the great railway
enterprises on this side of the river have
larger interests at St. Louis than anywhere
confirms the assumption which the advan-
tages of locality justify. Everybody has more
or less appreciation of this fact, in so far as
concerns the extension of the American rail
way system with Mexico, but it is not SO gen.
orally understood that all the trans
continental railways must inevitably
seek common focus at st.
Louis. The Wabash and Union Pacific
railroads are SO nearly in the same hands that
the northern line may be said to run into St.
Louis already. The eastern terminus of the
Atlantic and Pacific line is actually at st.
Louis, while the Texas Pacific has also Its
eastern terminus in this city, and is managed
by an official with his office here. The three
transcontinental lines meet in st. Louis as well
as all the Mexican lines, and the influence of
this Capitalization in this city would ultimate
ly force it to the position of center of the
railway system east of 4he river if it were not
for the fact that all the great eastern trunk
lines already have their direct connection with
St. Louis.

That BuIk Wheat Shipment by Nesc Orleans
q Success.
Capt. John II. Reaney, agent of the St.
Louis & St. Paul steamboat line, by whom an
experimental shipment of $4,000 bushels o
spring wheat was made few days since by
barge from here to New Orleans, where it was
to be transferred to an ocean steamship for
shipment to Glasgow, Scotland, was feeling
particularly good yesterday.
The wheat, it will be remembered, was
loaded on two barges here-22, 900 bushels on
one of the iron barges of the Jay Gould St.
Louis & New Orleans line, land 5000 bushels
on one of the covered barges of the St. Louis
g. st. Paul line. At st. Louis the shipment
was loaded on one barge, and with other
barges formed a fleet for New Orleans. Soon
after the barge left st. Louis parties in the in
terest of the Lake Michigan system of
rail and lake transportation, caused
to be sent out from St. Louis
report that the wheat was sweating, and
that the experiment had proved failure.
The fact that the barge was beyond the reach
of parties at st. Louis or other points when
the telegram was sent, cOnclusively disclosed
the animus to all who stopped to reason, but
nevertheless it caused some trepidation among
parties who were watching the outcome OF
the shipment.
From the first, however, Capt Reaney pro-
nounced the reported sweating fraud, and
offered to back his opinion with his money
at large odds. Yesterday his judgment was
verified by the receipt of telegram from
James R. Bull, general manager OF the ST.
Louis & New Orleans Foreign Dispatch com
pany, stating that the wheat in question had

A San Francisco Social Sensation,

San Francisco society has been stirred from

after the close of the highly successful Au-
thors' Carnival, ok-publisher Of this cit y
conceived the idea of getting up as"nvenir On
the occasion in the shape Of an album. This
was illustrated with groups of the partici-
pants depicted in the costumes they wore In
their respective booths and in the grand

How TO Shake Hands.

There are only two or three people now

There is a good deal of hand-shaking done
through the country, especially at this sea-
son Of the year, bat only very small per

to do IL SO as to get the entire amount of ex-
hilaration out Of it. Some CAB the hand OF
an adversary in quick, nervous manner

lady, incline the hand forward with soft
and graceful YET half timid movement, like
boy climbing barbed-wire fence with a

eyes with kind of pleading smile, beam on
her features bright andwinsome beam, say
something that you have heard some one
else say on similar occasions, and in the
meantime shake her hand in subdued yet
vigorous way, not as though you were trying
to make mash by pulverizing her fingers,

vulgar expression, that the laugh comes in"
II makes very considerable difference in
ones finances, as the following testimony of
the cost of a prescription goes to show. The
mode Of procedure is, as rule, as follows /:
You get sick, doctor comes, gives prescrip-
ton, druggist makes it up, and you pay the
bill. 1t begins in sickness and ends in drug
eist bills, when 1t doesn't end I'm worse. The
experiment Of putting up prescription was
tried in this city In three different druggist
shops to see to what extent locality affected
the cost of 1t. The idea was suggested by
the following paragraph:
A traveller says he found q prescription
made up precisely in the same way, to vary
| in price in the following cities, thus: Lon
don, s francs; Paris, 1880; Munich, 4.15
Stuttgardt, 4.15; Bucharest, 1880; Athens
5. A gentleman had asimilar experience in
New York. At very fashionable drug store
in Broadway, 80 cents; at one of very higl
repute, but not snowy, 20 cents; at grea
establishment in Third avenue, Is cents
Rents have bearing on these prices TO som'
extent, but Bucharest rents are not highe
than those of London.

ventilasing Houses,
Prairie Farmer.

Every home, even of only one story should
have ventilator--a wooden tube passing
through the roof-and then from each room
on the lower floor have an opening and tube
to carry the vitiated air into the attic, or the
attic ventilator. We advised cottages to be
so constructed years ago, and their occupants
now testify that their physician's bill Of one
year, in former times, was lessened enough
to pay the extra cost Of ventllating their.
houses. They kept their wives and children
In unusually good health. We do not mean
that good ventilation will prevent or cure
all diseases, but We do mean that II will
greatly lessen the amount, and aid greatly in
curing those maladies that will Inevitably
come. Infectious maladies may appear but
