From tie Times.)

Our Philadelphia Correspondent sums
mp, in a letter we print this morning, an
astonishing tale of enterprise III the con
~struction of railways. Nearly O,OO0 miles,
it is estimated, will be added to the
United States railway system by inc
close of the present year. Last year IL
was about the same. In 1881 more thah
eighty millions sterling were spent upon
the building OF railroads. All parts OF
the Republic contributed to the enormouS
total of activity. The Pacific States are
the Youngest of the siSIerhood; yet even
their gross earnings for 1881 We're 4 f"ll
fourth more than for 1880. The New Eng
land States and the Southern States,
being among the oldest, are also among
the least progressive, the former nom
Typographical, the latter from moral ana
historical causes. But the gross earnings
Of the New England lines show some aug
mentatiOn, and those OF the southern
lines an immense increase. The Mlddlo
States are in the flush of Their energy,
and their material circumstances sui
allow Of expansion. They demonstrate IL
by the leap, in a single t~welvemohth, OF
the takings Of their railway companies
from forty millions sterling to aOout forty
six. AS might be expected from the gene
raj condition OF the NeSle:H OtdteS' IANJ
outruu in this particular the achievements
of all the rest. They were paid for goods
and passengers IN 1881 eighteen millions
sterling more than in 1880. In the figures
for all the FIVE sections into which the
Republic is popularity divided the gross
earnings for freight and the conveyance OF
mails surpass the amount of passenger
fares. In the New England States they
are more than half as mnch again. In
the Southern otates the proportion is not
very different. In the Middle States, with
their vast and restless population and
comparatively stationary agriculture, the
railway receipts for goods traffic were
nevertheless between two thirds and
three-fourths larger than for passenger
carriage. 1t is the same, and with less
cause for surprise, with the returns of the
Western lines. Again, in the Pacific
States, as might equally have been antici-
pated, goods aIe more abundant than
passengers. The Pacific Companies earn
by goods and mails more than double their
receipts for the transportation of paSsen-
gers. The chief ground for wonder is that
the population of these new lands should
have spent in 1881 more than a couple of
millions sterling on railway tickets.

A st. Louis Scene.

A goat disturbed worship in a st
Louis church by trotting up the main
aisle, mounting the platform steps
and trying to eat the green fringe OF
the pulpit drapery. 1t made things
very embarrassing. The clergyman
gazed reprovinQly at the animal. but
didn't seem disposed to undertake its
ejectment Neither of the deacons moved
both feigning sleep. the desire OF the
clergyman that they would remove the
least was unheeded. None of the con-
gregation seemed disposed to tackle the
job, either. There was a pause, and
the goat munched away quietly on the
fringe. The parson was the picture of
misery as he gazed at the goat. Finally
he called on the sexton. and that gentle
man reluctantly responded. He
cautiously approached it and said,
"Shoow The goat raised its head. and
the terrified sexton whirled and ran
down tue aisle. He had red handker-
chief hanging from his coat tail pocket.
The goat saw it and shot after it. The
sexton looked back saw the goat COM

To Take Out Milk and Coffee Stains

These STAINS are very difficult to re.
move, especially from light colored and
finely finished goods. From wooden
and mixed fabrics they are taken out
by moistening them with a mixture OF
one part glycerine, nine parts wat II,
and one-half part aqua ammonia. This
mixture IS applied to the goods by
means of brush, and allowed to re-
main for twelve hours Occasionally re-
newing the moistening). After this
time, the stained pieces are pressed be-
tween cloth and then rubbed with a
clean rag. Drying, and if possible a
little steaming, IS generally sufficient to
thoroughly remove the stains. Stains
on silk garments which are dyed in
delicate colors, or finely finished, are
more difficult to remove. In this case
five Parts glycerine are mixed with
five parts water, and one-quarter part of
ammonia added. Before using this
mixture it should be tried on some part
of the garments where it canno: be
noticed. in order to see if the mixture
will change color. If such is the case
no ammonia should be added. If, on
the contrary, no change takes place, or
if, after drying, the original color is re-
stored, the above mixture is applied
with soft brush, allowing 1t to remain
on the stains for six or eight hours, and
is then rubbed with clean cloth. The
remaining dry substance IS then care
fully taken off by means of a knife.
The injured places are now brushed
over with clean water, pressed between
cloths and dried. If the stain is not
then removed, a rubbing with dry bread
will easily take it of. To restore the
finish, thin solution of gum arabic, or
in many casses beer is preferred, is
brushed on, then dried and carefully
roned. By carefully manipulation
these stains will be successfully remov-
ed Scientific -4mty1fan.
