OLD Parson S. of Connecticut was
a particular kind of person. One
day he had a man ploUghing in his
field, and he went out to see how
the work was getting on. The
ground was very stony, and every
time the plough struck a stone the
man took occasion to swear little.
'sLook here" cried Parson s., "you
must not swear in that way in my
ield!'' "Well, 1 reckon you'd swear
too," said the man, ssif you had to
plough such a stony field as this"
TNot a bit of it," said Mr.. S. "Just
let me show you'll" So the parson
ook hold Of the plough; but he very
soon had considerable trouble with
the stones. AS stone after stone
caught the ploughshare, Mr.. S. ejac-
ulated, "Well, [ never saw the like!"
And this he repeated every time a
stone stopped his onward way. As
soon as he had ploughed around
once, he stopped and said to the
man, "There now! You see / can
plough without swearing" "But [
guess it's pretty near as bad to lie, y
answered the man; Sand you told
dozens o. lies. Every time the
plough struck a stone you said, Il
never saw the like when the same
thing happened minute beforew

RAILS FOR RAIL
ROADS.

In response to the usual inquiry,
lis there anything new?" of a prom
inent railroad man yesterday. much
surprise was expressed at his posi-
tive answer in the affirmative.
eyes" he remarked, as he carefully
laid in the waste basket dozen or
more applications for passes to
various points on his line, and drew
from a pigeon hole in his desk what
resembled in appearance large bar
Of harness soap. "We are on the
eve Of a great revolution in railroad
construction. [ have just been
examining a section of paper rail, "
handing the reporter the soap bar
for inspection, which was examined
critically, without the least Suspi
cion that it was the article referred
to. "What is this ?" he was inquired
of after moments hesitation.
THAT" replied the manager, is a
new departure in railroad rails.
When we substituted steel for iron
we thought we had attained perfec-
ton, but there is something's that
must supersede everything else"
What are the advantages
claimed for the paper rails ?'
well, they are superi0ri in almost
every point. The cost per mile will
be less by one-third than that of
steel, and will last much longer,
being almost lndestructible. There
is no expansion or contraction from
heat and cold, consequently no looss
or open joints, and being SO much
lighter than steel or iron, the rails
can be made longer and connections
perfectly solid, making the road as
smooth as continuous rail: The
adhesion of the drivers of the en-
CINE to this material will be greater
than that Of steel, consequently
the same weight engine will have a
larger load. There will be a great
saving of fuel, the smoothness of
the rail will lessen the wear and
tear of rolling stock, and, to say
nothing of the difference in first
cost, the reduction in machinery
and repairs will be big item"
"Wiil it be necessary to face the
rails with steel?"
sNo, sir. The rails are made just
as that piece in your hand, wholly
and entirely of paper, and so solid
that the sharpest spike cannot be
driven into them. The action of
the atmosphere has no effect upon
it, will neither rust nor rot, and
with paper wheels and rails of the
same material, our palatial trains
will glide over the prairies at the
rate Of sixty miles an hour, with as
little jolt or jar as an ocean steamer.
The liabilities to accident from
broken rails in frosty weather will
be entirely removed, making a
greater rate of speed safer and with
less damage to rolling stock"
eff these rails are a success, it
will paralyze the iron mandatory
interests of the country, won't it ?"
admit that it does. It will open
up another and greater industry,
and as to the superiority of these
rails there can be no doubt. They
are an entirely new thing, and all
practical railroad men who have
examined them unanimously agree
that the rails of the future will be
of paper" From all the NeoOSpG
perS.

A Canadian manufacturer has
invented a process by which COM
pressed cotton may be used not
merely for doors and window
frames, but for the whole facade of
large buildings. The enormous and
increasing demand of paper for its
normal uses, as printing and writing
material, prevents the extended use
of papier-mache as building ma
terial, for which it is so well suited
in so many ways; but the produe-
ton of cotton is practically unlim-
tied, and there seems to be a large
field available for its use in its new
capacity as a substitute for bricks
or at least plaster-and wood.
Treated with certain chemicals and
compressed, it can be made fire
proof, and as hard as stone, abso-
lutely air and damp-proOf.
