Extensive Railroad Building.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The Railway Age has
figures showing that the total construction
Of the main line of railroad for seven
months in the United States has been
more than 5000 miles. Should the pro-
portion hold good during the remainder
Of the year, the total mileage built for
1882 would be nearly $4,000, but it is not
likely to run over 10000 miles; although
as a rule, the heaviest work is done during
the latter months Of the vear.

a Wonderful Dwelling.

Captain Martin Van Burcn Bates, who
lives on farm near Seville, O., is 7 feet
! inches high and weighs 47S pounds.
Mrs. Bates is feet II inches high aud
weighs Alb pounds. 1t is difficult matter
to convey an adequate idea of the proper.
tions OF such q dwelling as tic one occupied
by tho Ohio giants. A door that is six
feet six inches high is large sized open
ing in tho side Of house-that is,
dwelling house, not cathedral But tho
doors in the domicilc of tho Bates giants
arc teni fcct high, ard the knobs arc nearly
as high as the reporters head.
The house was built by Captain Bates
IN 1876, and is elegantly furnished. In
the main building on the ground floor arc,
besides the spacious hall tho bed chamber
Of the giants, sitting room and parlor.
Tho couch upon which the big couple sleep
was mado especially for them, and it is u
curiosity too look at. it is extensive
enough to give tho great people room to
stretcs 10, and it looks as big as au ordi~
nary sized floor. 1t is really ten feet long,
wide in proportion and about twice as high
as common bed. The magnificent dress
ing case is also huge affair, with glass
upon it nearly as big as the side of house
Ia the sitting room is riano of ordinary
size itself, but it is mounted on blocks two
feet high, SO that the instrument is away
up in tho air, out OF the reach of common
folks Thorc arc two rocking chairs in
this room that arc SO big that the reporter
had to climb up uto Que Of them the same
as an infant would Chamber up into "high

ants to live, as they have to pay such au ex.
horbitant price foreverything they wear. For
instance, i, costs the Captain $50 pair for
boots.
II is most astonishing sight to see the
two giants out for drive. City folks who
have seen the ponderous wagons with
wheels reaching to tho second story Of
house, used to haul stones weighing tons
and tons, can form an idea of tho vehicle
used. 1t is pulled by six stout Norman
horses and it is enough to mako man
think ho has got 'cm, sure, to suddenly
meet such spectacle on the road out in
tho country. Passing Wagons have to let

~. A. Marshall in Homo and Farm.
Nlicanopy, from where writc, is in

siyo hammoeks aud lakes Of pure, fresh
water tccmiug with fish, and measuring in
circumference from two to ton miles, with
sufficient depth to accommodate small
steamers. Mioanopy itself is a thrifty little
village with population of 500, several
churches, fine school, Il Masonic Lodge

Henry Borgh on Strong Drink.

Mr.. Bergh, who stands at the head of
benevolent men, has this to say of the salo
and use of intoxicating drinks:
elf there be personal devil in this
world he is hero, think, in the form of
rum. Rum, or anything else that steals
away the human scDscs, is the instigator of
all, in which long catalogue stands oon-
spiciously, murder, robbery and wifo boat
ing: When onco this liquid Gso is taken
into the system tho wrotched slave OF that
demon is ready for anything aud would
hold him who furnished tho dcvilsh poison
equally responsible with the porpetrator for
what cnsues. | SEQ no difference in tho
man who commits murder and he who pro-
vides the material. Both arc accomplicos,
and both should suffer sliko. Lot tho laws
be administered in that spirit aud 10 less
than six months the number Of rum shops
and distilleries would bo diminished ono
half at least
have had the oouragc--somo call it
impudonoe--to advocate whipping the man
who beats his wilo or any other female Of
tho human raco. will go furthor and de-
clare that, in my opinion, if to ovory ten
rum shops there were to be found con.
vonient, well-appointcd whipping post
near at hand, where tho follow who makes
person drunk and he who gcts 50, would
be takon and thorc receive dose of thirty
ashes, we'll laid upon their bare backs, the
number Of suffering wives aud children
would be reduced to minimum"

European Statistics.

Statistics laid before the Congress Of
Brewers which met at Versailles, show that
thoro are in Europe about 40, 900 browerics,
which produce annually nearly $3.50 ,000,-
900 gallons of malt liquor, Great Britain
alone produces third of the entire quap-
tily, or, to DO exact, 7S5, ,0l7.002 gallons.
Prussia comes next with 3lS,570,90S gal
Ions, Bavaria, 260,757,002 gallons; Aus
tria. 245, ,075, l5S gallons; and France,
l55,9S0,0O0 gallons. 1t will thus be seen
that the Tcutonio nations are cminently tho
beer producers, as they arc also the prnci~
pal beer drinkers; where wine is TO be had
nearly as ohcsp as beer, tho malt liquor is
not preferred. The proportion in which
beer is consumed varies very mnoh. Ba.
varia heads the list with 81 gallons per
head per annum, or rather over one gal
lon q week. Belgium is ncSt with 80 gall
Ions, and Eogland is about the same, namely
20 gallons. G., something over half a
gallon per head per week. In Germany,
excluding Bavaria, tho average consump-.
ton is 10 gallons, and from this a great
drop follows, to 0 gallons in Scotland. and
81 in Ireland, where whiskcy is preferred
Austria consumes only gsllons Of beer per
head, and France only 4.
