A Rich Corporation

The Canadian Pacific Railway Company Is
one Of the richest corporations in the world.
1t started out with grant Of 756 miles OF
road built and in operation; another grant Of
25,o0o, 900 acres Of land, said to be worth an
average Of IS per acre, and Government
guarantee Of the clear gift of s25,oOo, 900, to
be paid in installments, SO much upon the
completion of each section Of twenty miles.
Its charter exsmpts the road, equipment and
capital stock from taxes forever, and 1t has
free right of way, with all the materials for
construction and equipment free from duty.
The whole mileage to be built by the COM
pany Is less than 2400 miles. The eastern
half of 1t will not cost more than $4,000 q
mile, or SIS, 100000. The western half, in
cluding passage through two ranges of noun
tsins, may cost an average Of $35, 900 mile,
or 42,Oo0, 900; fetal probable cost Of $eO,-
600, 900, of which the Government pays $25,-
100000, leaving for the company but $685.
100000, which 1000, 900 acres of their land
grant from Winnipeg westward will pay.
They will then have left their entire capital
stock and 1s,o0o,0 900 acres Of land for the
construction ofconnections and branches and
equipment and for the creation Of connecting
lines of steamships from Montreal to Europe
1t the East, and frem Port Moody with Aus
tralia, China and San Francisco At the West.
A company so rich in funds and exempt from
all taxss forever, with 20 large Q surplus,
ought to become regulator Of oil the other
transcontinental railways and force them into
reasonable and fair treatment of the public.

The Revolution in Paper.

Cxr-wheels made Of paper have been in
use for some time, and give perfect satisfac-
ten. No great catastrophe has occurred %
any railroad from the breaking of a paper
wheel. Now comes the startling announce
nsnt that rails are to be made Of paper.
They are better than iron-better even than
steel. They do not expand by heat or cold,
and they do not split, nor rot, nsr rust.
They can be made longer because they are
much lighter, and a. the ends can be kept
close together, there will be no jar In passing
from one rail TO the next. The fact is, slso,
that paper is made from everything. Wood
pulp has long been used for making paper.
The PARTICLES, crushed fine, can be put under
heavy pressure and consolidated into .
solid mass so hard that steel nail cannot
penetrate 1t. There is no longer any need Of
digging, pudding, melting and refining iron
ore to get rails; no more need Of Bsssemer's
steel rails st enormous expense. Paper rails
can be made at third Of the cost, and 100
per cent. better when completed and laid. 1t
Is generally supposed that the world moves
slowly, but here comes . swift-running revo-
luton that will consign iron to the limbo Of
the past. Ships, too, are to be made Of this
new substance-buL why anticipate? Just
wait and see the good time coming Oh apace,
and wonder no more 1t the genius of man.

A story is going the rounds at the expense
Of Congressman elect "Tom" Ochiltree,
which, the Boston Trdceler says, Is vouched
for as entirely correct by that distinguished
Texas statesman. Once when he and Mace
were both staying at the St. Charles Hotel,
New Orleans, he remarked TO Q friend that
the "slugger" did not look to be q very quick
man, and finally made Q bet Of q basket Of
wine tha. he could give him blow and
escape punishment, by instantly apologizing,
before the fighter had time to put up his
fists. Accordingly Ochiltrse approached the
champion Of the ring and, without word,
struck him on the nose with his open hand.
But before he could open his mouth 10 utter
the apology, the bystanders saw vision Of .
fiery red head and mustachs, and q nice new
dress suit, presumed to enclose the figure of
. man, knocked from the end Of the bar
through the folding doors out on the side
walk. Ochiltree was 1t once picked up and
repaired BY his friends. Then they assisted
him into Macs's presence, and he explained
that he had tapped the worthys nose merely
to carry out . wager, and said he was sorry
(which was quite evident. "Then thatS
hall right" quoth Nacs, turning to the
crowd; "and I'm glad HI didn't sit i'm ard"

OHIO MORMONS.
Preparations for the Reopening of the
Temple at Kirkland.

Preparations for the Reopening of the
Temple at Kirkland.
The Mormons of Kirkland are making
great preparations for their reunion Of April
9th. The work Of repairing the old weather
beaten temple is nearly completed. The
quaint old structure is losing its identity by
which 1t has so long been known, and, IN
stead of taken form and shape of the more
modern houses of worship, seems rather to
be fashioned after Its original construction.
The peculiar yet eminently fitting location
of the great temple first impresses the visitor.
1t can be approached from each Of the four
principal points Of the compass. The most
frequented road Is the one reaching Il from
the north, and that leaves the main east and
west road 200 yards west Of tho beautiful
residence of the late President. Capacity
seems to have been aimed at In It's recon-
struction. Each Of the three stories occupy
all the space between the walls. It looks
like huge Romish cathedral. Inscriptions
in Greek line the interior. The huge curtain
which hung in the center Of the temple in
the time Of Joseph Smith Is being renewed,
and in few days will hang In It's place.
Just what will be the programme Of the
great reunion is as yet little uncertain.
Every day, however, swells the magnitude
of the approaching event. The representa-
ton from the Mormon capital that will be
present ut the grand reunion Is now placed
at 1,20s. Many Of them are descendants of
those who were conspicueusly identified with
the struggles Of the church for existence In
Kirkland, and in their letters express an
anxiety to look upon the historic ground.
Mormons here say that the 9th Of April
commenorates no feast day In the history Of
the church, but has been set aside for this
event by the Salt Lake authorities. From
Salt Lake and Plano all the money comes,
and oil the details Of the jubilee are
arranged.

WRITE THEM A LETTER TONIGHT.

Don't 60 to the theatre, lecture or ball,
But stay in your room tonight;
Deny yourself to the friends that call,
And good lsng letter write.
Write to the sad old folks at home,
Who sit when the day is done,
With folded hands and downcast eyes
And think of the absent one.
Don't sslfshly scribble: Excuse my haste;
I've scarcely time to write"
Lest their breeding thoughts 60 wandering
back
To many aby-gone night,
When they lost their needed sleep and rest,
And every breath was n prayer
That God would leave their delicate babs
To their tender love and care.
Don't let them see that you've no more need
OF their love and counsel wise;
For the heart grows strongly sensitive
When age has dimmed the eyes.
1t might be well to let them believe
You never forget them quite
That you deem it a pleasure when far away,
Long letters home to write.
Don't think that the young and giddy
friends
Who make your pastime gay,
Have half the anxious thoughts for you
That the old folks have to-day.
The duty Of writing do not put Off
Let sleep or pleasure wait,
Lest the letter for which they looked and
longed
Be day or an hour too late.
For the sad old folks at home,
With locks fast turning white,
Are longing to hear from the absent one
Write them letter tonight.

Many Curious Experiences.

We locked into the press room of one Of
Boston's largest printing establishments the
other week, writes tho correspondent Of
trade journal. The foreman was furious
and the proprietor sorrowful. Frictional
electricity in the printed sheets of paper a
they LEFT the presses was the immediate cause
Of their trouble. 1t Is an interesting and
not uncommon phenomenon, snd Is not
easily explained nor easily controlled. It
has puzzled Profs. Bell and Wadman, and
the best electricians we have about here.
The packing upon the press cylinder seems
to act ss An inductor, and the paper leaves
the press thoroughly electrified. We watched
press running of LOO per hour. Sudden
ly the printed sheet clung about the cy!.n-
der as though pasted on 1t, and had to be
torn of in strips. Again, we lifted few
freshly printed leaves and they ripped and
cackled like the stitches In an old coat.
