The Plan Proposed to Relieve the Wabash
Road.

The plan for the relief of the Wabash, St.
Louis q Pacific is an anieable foreclosure of the
general and collateral trust mortgages, and a re-
organization Of the company upon substantially
the same basis as the present the amount of
stock to be of the same class and amount as at
present, to be offered to the old shareholders of
record at Sc per share, the stockholders to re-
ceiye in addition first preferred stock at par
value for amount of subscription; the general
mortgage and collateral trusts to be converted
into debenture and mortgage bonds The main
feature of the plan is the preservation of rank
and priority of the securities, and change Of the
rigid mortgage debt to one dependent upon the
net income. The success of this plan will re
lieve the Wabash railroad company Of fixed
charge of about 81 600 substituting therefor
surplus net earnings as they may be acquired,
and preserve the stockholders in ownership of
the fee, If they choose to avail themselves of their
privileges 1t is understood that syndicate Of
capitalists stands ready to take the stock de-
clined by the stockholders While ON this matter
the company may as well scale down its bonded
debt, cut it right in two in the middle This
will save going through again the same trouble
they are now experiencing five years from now.

Pohteness Always Good Investment.


1t will be a day of rejoicing with the travelling
public when ticket agents, depot policemen and
trainmen learn and practice politeness in their
business relations with the travelling public.
There is no excuse for ticket agent or police
man to give a person short, disrespe answer
who asks information. The journal of Railway
Appliances under the head of Courtesy at the
Ticket Window, says: Politeness is a very
good investment anywhere, but it is especially
desirable in the relations between buyer and
seller. Nowhere will q little courtesy appear
to better advantage than at the ticket window.
Often there is too much of the policeman's come
now, move on air displayed by the agent
who handles the dating stamp, and where ref
ormation is possible this manner should be re
placed by a more courteous tone-whefe reform
is hopeless, a new man would be good move.
We know exactly what can be said in defense by
the offending agent, and admit IL advance that
people are often ineKcusably stupid, ask redicu-
lousy irrelevant questions, are full of vain
repetitions" as any Babylonish heather, need
lessly consume the agents time, and delay bust
ness, etc.; but all this does not excuse chursh-
ness or surliness on the part of the agent In
one sense patron has a moral right to ask
foolish questions--if he does not know any bet
ter-and the agent is bound to answer politely,
so longas the questions concern the passenger.
1t is portion Of the service for which the agent
is paid

been free to admit this right, and are prepared
to recognize it whenever insisted upon. But It
is rather selfish policy which would permit
shippers to accept all the benefits that arise from
the pooling system, while they refuse to submit
to any of the Inconvenience which are INSOFAR
able from il. Who that complains Of the delays
that result from the operation Of the pool will
deny that, before the pool was formed, the de-
laws were more vexatious and injurious BY
the formation of the various pools transportation
given the advantage Of both quick and cheap tran
sit for their goods. Ofeourse, tits impossible to
make one road travel as fast as another and It is
just as impossible TO ship everything over the
fastest road, and maintain the pool The ques-
ton is, do shippers in general fare better under
the pooling system than they would without it'
The manifest answer Is they do Since the
pools were formed the railroads have enteredln
working arrangements with each other, estab-
lished close relations with connecting lines, ana
changed gauges, etc., all with the purpose and
effect of increasing the speed of trains, and i'm
proving the facilities of freight transportation.
The shipper has been benefited by these arrange
ments, and with quicker transit the charges for
carriage have been lowered. The railroads are
under noobligation to make these arrangements
nor are they bound to secure through transpoP-
tation for freight thousands of miles beyond the
terminus of their own lines They have done
it, however, and the interests of shippers have
been conserved. 1t seems to us to be grave
mistake to allow the dissatisfaction of few
shippers, who occasionally are unable to have
their goods shipped by the quickest route. to
initiate against the pooling system.

American Roads Make an Equally Favorable
Record.

An effective grouping of the facts which illus
trate the safety of travel on English railway
lines was recently made in speech delivered
by the Prince Of Wales before the Railway
Guards Universal Friendly Society, of London.
He stated that thirty five years ago the ratio of
passengers killed in the United Kingdom, from
causes beyond their control, was one in A, 1872
000 while last year it was only one in 81 $4,000
He referred to this and other analogous state
ments as combinations of the theory that a rail
way train is the safest place in the world for
passengers who respect rules and fully avail
themselves of the protecting influences which
the companies provide. He stated that while
more than two hundred persons are annually
killed in the streets of London, not a single
passenger was killed last year by accuse beyond
his own control on an English railway. Many
of the American lines have established equally
satisfactory records, and, in fact. when the
larger mileage in this country is considered. a
better record is made in this country. More
people are killed who trespass on the rights of
the railroad companies, by walking on their
tracks, or stealing rides on their trains than in
any other manner.

Liverpool and Fleetwood, is one of the larg-
est cotton manufacturing towns in England
perhaps in the world. Fleetwood is situa-
ted on the river Wyre. The tide rises at
this point thirty feet, and so rapidly that
it is said a man can scarcely get out OF its
way. Boats of very excellent class run
every night from Fleetwood to Belfast.
These Fleetwood boats run in connection
with the Worcestershire and Yorkshire rail-
way. The distance from Liverpool to Bel
fast, by way of Fleetwood, is greater than
by boat directly to Belfast but by way of
Fleetwood it is quicker and much more
pleasant.
About five o'clock on the morning Of the
10th 1 landed at Belfast. At that moment
the dream of my life was partly realized.
During my whole life I have heard SO much
and read so much about Ireland and Scot
land that constant desire has been in my
bosom to see these Islands. Twill close this

however, be matter of interest and sub
ject of wonder to state that there seems to
be no night in Belfast. 1 wrote the most of

THE RIVER.
The lights of the city glimmer
In the swift, black wave below
Like ghosts that fit in the cleaning,
The white ships come and go.
White and dim and stately,
The good ships seaward, CO.,
Luck to you, captains and sailors
However the winds may blow.
White and dim and stately,
The good ships bomeward throng;
Welcome, captains and sailors,
Your voyage has been long!
And sweethearts' eyes shall glisten,
And wives shall Joyful be,

To your tales Of the stormy sea.
But what are the wrecks you tell of
To the wreck of a love like mine!
The river murmurs and glitters;
Above, the cold stars shine.

CHARACTER IN HAND-SHAKING.-The
different modes of shaking hands will de-
lineate human character better than any
other single act can do, and many peculiar
tiles of different persons may be noted in
the performance of this social custom.
Who would expect to get handsome do
nation-or any donation at all-from man
who will give two fingers to be shaken, and
keeps the others bent as upon an etching
palm?"
The hand coldly held out to be shaken and
drawn away again as soon as it decently may
be, indicates u cold, selfish character, while
the hand which seeks yours cordially, and
unwillingly relinquishes its warm clasp,
gives token of genial disposition, and of a
heart full OF sympathy for humanity.
How much that is in the heart can be
made to express itself through the agency
rienced it, has ever forgotten the feeling
conveyed by the eloquent pressure of the
hand from dying friend when the tongue
has ceased tospeak?
- A right hearty grasp of the hand indicates
warmth and ardOr, while soft, lax touch,
without grasp, indicates the opposite char
acteristics. In the grasp of persons with
large-hearted, generous minds, there is a
"Whole-soul" expression most refreshing
and acceptable to kindred spirits. But
when man presents you with few cold,
clammy, lifeless fingers, feeling very much
like a dead fish, and expects you to do all the
shaking, it will naturally make you think
of the hospital, and other cheerful things.
Contrary to this style, there is a habit
among rude class, of giving your hand a
crushing grasp, which is often most painful.
In these cases there may be great kindness,
and "strong" affection, but it is as crude
as it is hearty.
If fthe grasp is warm, ardent and vigorous,
SO is the disposition. If it is magnetic and
animating, the disposition is the same. AS
we shake hands, SO we feel--sO we are. But
why do we shake hands at all? It's very
old fashioned way of indicating friendship.
We read in the Bible that Jehu said to Jo-
nadab:
"Is thy heart right as my heart is with
thine heart? If it be, give me thine hand.'
And it is not merely an old-fashioned GUS
tom. 1t is the contact of sensitive and mag
netic surfaces, through which there is, in
something more than merely figurative
sense, an Interchange of feeling. The same
principle is illustrated in another of our
modes of greeting. When we wish to recip-
rocate the warmer feelings, we are not con-
tent with the contact Of hands, we bring the
lips into SERVICE Unh7aoacn.

TURNING TO THE RIGHT.-The origin of
this custom is given as follows: Our ances-
tors drove oxen as usual thing. In driving
an OK team the driver walks on the left of the
team, so that he can handle the goad or whip
with his right hand. In meeting wagon,
each driver would turn to the right, so that
he could be between his own oxen and those
of the other wagon.

ToADs AFTER A RAIN.-Why are all the
toads so plentiful after thunder shower?
All my life long no one has been able to an
swer me that question. Why, after heavy
shower, and in the midst of it, do such null
titudes of toads especially little ones, hop
about on the gravel walks? For many years
I believed they rained down and / suppose
some think SO still, "Thick as toads after
shower" is one of our best proverbs. l ask
ed an explanation of this of thoughtful
wOman-indeed leader in the great move
ment-to have all the toads hop in any di-
rection without distinction of sex or relig-
ion. Her reply was that toads came out
during the shower to get water. This, how
ever, is not the fact. I have discovered that
they come out not to get water. Idelugeda a
dry flower-bed the other night with pailful
often pailful of water. Immediately the
toads came out of their holes to escape death
by drowning, by tens and twenties and tif-
ties. The big ones fled awayin ridiculous
streak of hopping and the little one sprang
about in the widest confusion. The toad
