Railroads..

In 1888, there We're completed only
G,GOS miles of railroad, against II SOL
miles in the previous year. But an
examination Of the progress of railroad
building in different sections discloses
some remarkable facts. The results
show a surprising development Of the
railway system in the Northern States
between the Hudson and the Mississippi
pi rivers, sluggish growth in the reg
ion south of the Potomac and Ohio and
east of the Mississippi, remarkable
decrease in railway building in the
Southwest, and the completion of J.
7l2 miles last year, and 4,7S0 miles
within three years, in Kansas, Nebras
ka, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washing
ton and Oregon. But for the contin.
ued and rapid growth of the system IN
that direction, and in New York,
Pennsylvania, and the five States be-
tween Pennsylvania and the Mississippi
pi, railroad building last year would
have been a rather insignificant mat
ter. The details of area and popula-
ton show, moreover, that the growth
of the railroad system is governed
by very different laws in the North
ern belt Ct States from those that re-
strict its development in the South and
Southwest -Hr

THE USUAL RTsULT, 1t not to be de-
MED that a good sewing machine is one of
the most important appurtcnances OF the
modern household.
We thought we had n good machine in
our household until one day the agent of the
Ne.r Uome presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon its
characteristic merit.
But" we answered, "our machine serves
lis nicely and suits us well, and we do not
care for another.
The agent, however, begged the privilege
oflcavng one Of his machines with us, "ior
the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable so we
granted it--hut more to obligc the agent
than anything else; for really we did not
want the machine, and had not the rcmotest
idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it was nat
ural that the ladies should look it over; they
did 80. and as a consequence fell in love
with it, They say that without the slight
est wish to dccry or disparagc any other
machine this, all things considered is, in
their opinion, the most desirable one to be
had.
The rpshot of the whole matter was that
the old machine was disposed Of and the
Light Running New Home installed in
our household. 1t is pronounced IA genuine
beauty and real comfort, and "our folks
wanted US TO tell other folks about it.

The Trace Dollar was coined under
special law to meet a special call OF
trade. Silver was produced in album
dance on the Pacific coast, and was de-
sired as circulating medium in China,
q country with which the Pacific coast
has large direct trade. The United
States was asked in effect to supply a
coin for China. TO make it not le-
gal tender in the United States was to
discourage its circulation at home and
consequently to encourage its shipment
abroad. 1t was made of the weight
and in the form desired in China. At
tcrward a new standard legal tender
dollar of less weight was ordered for
use at home, and then Of course the
heavier trade dollar began to be pre-
ferred at home also, and a considerable
portion Of the trade dollar issue found
its way into circulation among our own
people.

Ell MMlRdi and the Price of CAN

The world is little place after all
That the False Prophet should regulate
the price Of candy in America would
undoubtedly seem as improbable as
that the Khan of Tartary should bull
the stock market, or the Emperor OF
China determine the price of shoes at
Lynn. Yet such is the fact. This ell,
rious circumstance happens thus: At
the basis Of much confectionery, nota-
bly, gum drops and marsh malow, is
gum arabic. Now the market for gum
arabic is Khartoum, for the world s
gum arabic comes from the Soudan.-
Taken on barges to Cairo at the fall
freshets in bales Of 500 pounds it is
shipped to London, Paris, Marseilles
and New York, to the aggregate Of IS,
600 bales. FL Mahdi has raised the
invoice price from eight to twenty cents
per pound, and the price is rising
There is no crop this year. There
threatens to be none next. Egypt GER
tanly cannot well send for what little
has been stored. There is, therefore,
every reason to suppose that gum will
reach fifty cents shortly, and fortunes
will doubtless be made by the wary
The possible gain consists in the fact
that small purchasers of candy, Of lin
tied means, may be discouraged by the
large advance in price. If the False
Prophet can thus lessen indigestion
among our cherubs at this joyous sea-
son, providential reason for his tur-
bulent and bloody career is discovered.
