all the possibilities opened out by the
storage battery was the utilization of
wind and water power. Differing from
Sir w. Thompson in his address to the
British Association, he believed there
were cases where no great expense
would be incurred in utilizing tidal
areas as basins. The Avon at Bristol
required but few yards of embank-
ment to be turned into such an area.
A tenth part of the tidal energy in the
gorge of the Avon would light Bristol
A tenth part of the tidal energy in the
channel of the Severn would light
every city and turn every loom, spin
die, and axle in Great Britain. Elec-
trical railways and electrical tramways,
Prof. Thompson said, were now exist
ing facts, and "many months win not
elapse-or ii will be an eternal dis
grace to the first city in the world-be-
fore the fetid and poisonous atmos-
phere of the Metropolitan Railway is
replaced by a pleasant and salubrious
air, rich in fragrant ozone and the
like revolution will not be long delayed
in many quarters where reform is far
less imperative. In all these changes
the accumulation will have its part to
play" In reply to a question, Prof.
Thompson expressed the opinion that
the cost of the electric lights in the
room was less than the cost of gas
would be for a mansion which had to
provide its own apparatus for the max
ing of gas.

Many Uses for Apples.

However we may esteem other fruits
the apple is the main reliance IN late
winter or early spring, as there Is little
else in the way of fresh fruits. For
cooking no fruit is equal to the apple,
which is susceptible of being served in
great variety of acceptable forms,
some of which are here suggested.
Apple sauce is the form in which the
fruit most frequently appears. To
make the best requires the best apples.
Select high favored fruit, such as the
Rhode Island Greening or Spitzenburg;
pare and slice in thick slices, and put,
with the needed quantity of sugar, in
a dish with tight fitting cover. Some
have dish made for the purpose, but
tin pail with good cover will answer.
Set in moderate oven and allow it to
stew slowly until thoroughly done;
good apples will need no water. APP
pie sauce so prepared is far superior to
that made in the usual way. Next in
popularity so apple sauce is.
APPLE PIE.-Stewed apples half an
inch thick, between two fiabby crusts,
is a caricature on apple pie. The apple
pie is made with sliced raw apples, in
very deep plate, and as few plates
are deep enough the sliced apple should
be heaped up in generous measure.
1t is mistake to spoil good apples
with much seasoning. Cloves and all
spice overcome the natural flavor; a
very little cinnamon, or minute bits of
dried peel of a sweet orange developlt.
In many families sauce and pie end the
changes, while they are really the be-
ginning of the list.
BAKED APPLES. Either sweet or sour.
Many have notion that sweet apples
are the only kinds for baking. They
are indeed excellent, when sour ones
cannot be had. But for the perfection
of baked apples. Rhode Island Green
ings are required. Remove the core,
fill the cavity with sugar, set in a bak-
ing dish with little water, and bake
rather briskly, and just before they are
eaten pour over them liberal supply
of cream. Apples so treated are better
then most of us deserve.

Gross Net
COMPANIES. Earnings Earnings. Debt.

These statistics give faint idea of
the tremendous amount of capital that
is being employed in the railroad en-.
terprises of the country, and the mighty
influence it would be capable OF WELD
ing in a commercial or political way,
provided it could be concentrated upon
given object. But this danger is not
nearly so great as many people appre-
bend who take one-sided view of the
case. Many of these great roads are
rivals, and will continue to be as long
as they exist, from the nature of their
work and the object of their projectors.
What is for the interest of one is not
always for the interest of another, and
the inducements that one holds out to
secure trade and travel for its line often
force others to make deductions that
inure to the benefit of the community.
A great corporation is not necessarily a
great monopoly, but may be so con-
Quoted as to be benefcent institution,
comforting and dispensing blessings up
on all within the reach of its influence.
The great gain to the farmers of the
west, and to the produce consumers of
the east, in the decline of railroad
charges during the last ten years is
enough to astonish the farmers them
selves. A reduction of few cents per
100 pounds upon freight between Chi
cago and the seaboard signifies saving
of so much money in the pockets of
the producer or consumer. To make
this matter plain, Mr.. Edward Atkinson
bases some estimates upon the business
of the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad. and the calculation is
astonishing. He says:
''The total saving to the whole coun-
try in the cost of moving merchandise
from 1870 to 1879 inclusive, period
of ten years, as compared to the rates
charged from 1866 to 1869 inclusive,
has been 81, 200, 100000, orS100,0 100000
more than the reduction of the nation
al debt since the war ended. In the
case of the Central the charge for NOV
ing 9,441 ,213 tons of freight in 1879
was SIS, 270, $50, the rate per ton per
mile being 1854 cents. Had the
charges been as high as in 1865,
the transportation of the same freight
would have cost 81, 920, $50, or 1.6567
cents per ton per mile. The New
York Central line does about one
twentieth of the railroad business of
the United States. The conclusion is
obvious that the reduction of the trans
portation tax adds vastly to the amount
of capital available for use in further
railroad construction and in other
ways"
Mr.. Atkinson thinks that the farmers
of the west secure a large proportion
of this reduction, as the statistics of
the New York market clearly

WHAT TIME Is ITy

What time is it,
Time to do we'll
Time to live better
Give up that grudge
Answer that letter
Speak that kind word, to sweeten a sorrow;
Do that good deed you would leave till tO-mor-
row.
Time to try hard
In that new situation
Time to build up on
A solid foundation.
Giving up needlessly, changing and drifting;
Leaving the quicksands that ever are shifting.
What time is it,
Time to be thrifty:
Farmers take warning
Plough in the Springtime-
Sow in the morning
Spring rain is coming, zephyrs are blowing;
Heaven viii attend to the quickening and grow
ing
Time to count cost
Lessen expenses
Time to look well
To the gates and the fences;
Making and mending as good workers should;
Shutting out evil and keeping the good.
What time is it,
Time to be earnest,
LAYING up treasure;
Time to be thoughtful,
Choosing true pleasure;
Loving stern ipstice-of truth being fond;
Making your word just as good as your bond.
Time to be happy,
Doing your best
Time to be tIustful
Leaving the rest
knowing in whatever country or cline,
Meier can we call back minute OF time.

HYGIENE Value of Mirth.

Mirth has an hygienic value that can
hardly be overrated while our social
life remains what the slavery of vices
and dogmas has made it. Joy has been
called the sunshine of the heart, yet
the same sun that calls forth the
flowers of a plant is also needed to ex-
pand its leaves and ripen its fruits;
and without the stimulus of exhilara-
ting pastimes perfect bodily health is
as impossible as moral and mental
vigor. And as sure as a succession of
uniform crops will exhaust the best
soil, the daily repetition of monoto-
nous occupation will wear out the best
man. Body and mind require an oc-
casional change of employment, or else
liberal supply of fertlizing recrea-
tions, and this requirement is a factor
whose commission often foils the arith-
metic of our political economists. To
the creatures of the wilderness Attic
ton comes geneally in the form of i'm
pending danger-famine or persistent
persecution; and under such circum-
stances the notifications of the vital
process seem to Operate against It's
long continuance; well.wishipg ma
ture sees her purpose defeated, and
the vital energy flags, the sap of life
runs to seed. On the same principle
and ex;stance of joyless drudgery seems
to drain the springs of h ealth even at
an age when they can draw upon the
largest inner resources; hope, to often
baffied, at last withdraws her aid; the
tongue may be attuned to canting
hymns of consolation, but the heart
can not be deceived, and with its sink
ing pulse the strength of life Gibbs
away. Nine-tenths of our city children
are literally starving for lack of recrea-
ton: not the means of life, but its OF
ject, civilization has defrauded them of;
they feel a want which bread can only
aggravate, for only hunger helps them
to forget the misery of eenasi. Their
pallor is the sallow hue of cellar
plant; they would be healthier if they
were happier. | would undertake to
cure sickly child with fun and rye

MORE COURTS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga committee
of the American bar association, at its
meeting in New York, in February,
will adopt plan for the relief of the
United States supreme court, which
contemplates the establishment of an
other court, to consist of Is judges.
A member of the committee is author
ity for the statement. This action will
be taken in Difference to the wishes of
the supreme court, rather than for any
other reason. He says the judges of
this court are uualterably opposed to
the other plan, which looks to the sub
division of the present bench into sep
arate chambers, each with jurisdiction
over certain classes of cases. The
Judges think, in the first place,
this plan would not give the relief
sought; that it would not en-
able the court, even though trebled in
its capacity for work, and to hear cases
coming up as prom Sly as they should
be heard, to say nothing OF returning a
docket of the cases that have accumu-
lated. In the second place the SUI
preme Judges think it would lower the
dignity, standing and influence of the
court to divide it for the sake of getting
more work out of it. They probably
will recommend to congress the pass
age Of an act providing for the creation
of an additional court, which shall hear
and have jurisdiction over most of the
cases that now go to the supreme
court. All higher and most inn
portant cases, such as involve
the construction of the constitution to
be reserved in the supreme court.

Railway Statistics.

There are now sixteen railroad COM
panies in the United States, each of
which controls and operates more than
1000 miles of road. The Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul, which has 3,627
miles, is tho longest of sill, although its
debt is comparatively small. The
Union Pacific has debt three times as
large as the st. Paul, with track half
as long, but reports earnings nearly
five times as large. The New York
Central is the most profitable road in
the country per mile. The following
table will be of interest to the general

Mr.. Calkins, chairman of the house
committee on elections, has been en-
gagged for the past few days on the
preliminary work of preparing for the
printer the testimony in the contested
cases referred to his committee. Thus
far the testimony in the three follow

VS. Reed, Maine; Buchanan VS.. Man
ming, Mississippi; Bisbee VS.. Finley,
Florida. 1t is expected that the testi-
mony in several other cases will be
ready for the printer before the reas-
sembling of Congress next week. The
testimony in most cases is very yolumin-

before the printed testimony in
any case will be ready for the
committee; so it will be late in January
before the committee on commerce
can commence the real work of inves-

A GAG FOR GurTEAU.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-Guiteau was
visited at the jail to-day, and was found
in excellent spirits, as he asserted.
He still clings to the belief that the
jury will accept his word asserting This
free agency was destroyed, and will
acquit him.

press, from Kansas, a package found to
contain very ingeniously-devised gag
for Guiteau which was made from a
