RAILROAD BUILDING.

It is already safe to predict that rail-
way building will be active next year.
Indeed, this cannot properly be called a
prediction so much as statement based
upon the fact of the very large number
of new enterprises already under way
and projected, and the fact that most OF
the rail mills already have orders which
will occupy good part of the coming
year. It is stated that from 800, 900 to
1000, 900 tons of steel rails have already
been contracted for delivery during the
year. Surprising these to be intended
for new roads only, they will represent
from 10000 to 10000 miles of track; but,
of course, considerable portion OF the
amount will be used in renewals. Rail
manufacturers feel encouraged at the
outlook and hope to make something
even at the present low price of rails,
which averages about $35 per ton.

A Double Life.
London Fortnightly Review

lLOndOn FOrbnlgntIy heV1eW.J
Zelda X, an hysterical young woman
living in the south of France, became
subject in 1856 to accesses of what was
at first considered somnambulism-
states lasting a few minutes or hours, of
which she retained no consciousness on
regaining her normal condition. Grad
uaIly the duration of these accesses in
creased; they became considerable
enough to rank as " second state, and
it was observed that in this second state
Zelda perfectly remembered the first
state; In the first or normal state she
forgot the second. The second state
gradually grew upon her till it has be-
come almost continuous, her relapse into
the first state occupying perhaps not
more than one day per month. And 1t
is. remarkable that her second state is III
all respects superior to her first. Her
health is better, her character is more
cheerful and even; her memory perfect
for both states.
She is aware of her occasional entry
into her first state, but she considers
that as abnormal, and though not undu
ly distressed by it she would fain avoid
itssoccurrences. When In the first state
onsthe other hand, her aches and pains
return, and her memory for the second
state disappears. She is then truly
miserable, even to the verge of suicide,
and helplessly bewildered by the vast
gaps In her memory, which are SO pro-
found and extensive that if her husband
or children happen to be out OF the
room at the moment when she enters
the first state she does not know whether
they are alive or dead, and waits anx-
iously to see whether they come in again.
She is ashamed of this loss of memory,
and uses all her art to conceal it. Of
late she has hit on plan which some
what lessons this inconvenience.
When she feels that an access of the
first state is coming on, she writes let
ter to her other self, giving precls of
the facts which she considers it desirable
that that self should know. Thus, for
instance, she details the orders which
have to be executed. the measurements
of chintz, etc. But there are cases
where the poor creature is glad to for
get. For example, Ia the second state
she learned facts giving her grave cause
for jealousy as to her husbands conduct
with female friend of her own. So
much did this distress her that she at
tempted suicide. She was rescued be-
fore life was extinct, and then in her
new misery she ardently desired the re-
turn of the first state, with all its suici-
dial gloom; preferring, 40 one may say,
to hang herself in forgetfulness of the
truth rather than because she remem-
bered it. She has, since then, in fact,
repeatedly returned to the first state.
and knows nothing therein of the trou-
BILE which has come upon her second
self. Yet this immunity is not without
its inconveniences; for while in the second
state she rejects Indignantly all acquaint-
ance with the treacherous friend; she
knows that there will be, as it were, in
tercaIary days of amnesty when she will
greet her again with cordiality and ease.

.GERMANS ~ RUSSIA.

Russia's relations with Germany are
subject of anxiety II both countries, and
shrewd European observers are of opin-
ion that the next international match
will be between the Russian bear and
the Prussian eagle. Russia has many
causes to disquiet her on the side of
Germany. Prominent among them is
the Communication of several important
provinces. The protective tariff by
which Russia has tried to build up her
domestic industries has had the effect of
inducing a large immigration of Ger
mans, and not content with building and
owning the manufactures, the thrifty
Teutons are rapidly coming into the
ownership of the land. In Poland alone
there are now 100000 Germans, out of
a total population of 5000, 900, and the
number is increasing faster than ever.
These immigrants do not become Rus
sian subjects (there is small inducement
to do that, and the Muscovite feels an
uneasy consciousness that his worst
enemy is constantly gaining a stronger
foothold III the empire.

TRAINING OF GTRLS.

No one viii dispute the assertion that
any given girl may some day have her
self and perhaps her family to support.
and yet our schemes of education for
girls are framed precisely as if this were
not and could not be true. As a rule,
no provision whatever is made for such
a contingency in the education of girls;
no recognition whatever is given to the
fact that the chance exists. We shut
our eyes to the danger; we hope that it
will never come, and we put the thought
of it away from us. In brief, we trust
to luck, and this is most unwise-I
was about to say an idiotic-thing to do.
A writer in Harper's Monthly, speak
ing on the subject says: "Each, one Of
us has known women to whom the mis-
chance has happened, and each one of
us knows that it may happen to the
daughter whom we tenderly cherish, yet
we put no arms In her hands with which
to fight this danger; we equip her for
every need except the sorest of all needs;
we leave her at the mercy of chance,
knowing that the time may come when
she whom we have not taught to do any
bread-winning work will have need of
bread. and will know no way IN which
to get it except through dependency,
beggary, or worse. She can teach ?

Brutality of a Russian Judge.

Some six weeks ago, says an Odessa
letter in the London News, the Judge of
the little town of Koretz, while out driv-
ing encountered meal wagon driven by
Jew named Wolf Charbosch. In pas
sing, the judge, without the slightest
provocation, deliberately struck the Jew
heavily across the face with his whip.
The latter, exasperated and more reso-
lutte than many of his oppressed race,
returned the dastardly blow with his
whip. Here the incident appeared to
terminate, save that it was bruited
about the town for few days and then
forgotten. A sad day of reckoning, how
ever, was in store for the unfortunate
Jew, and that day was Indignantly
chosen by his prosecutor during the sa-
cred Jewish festival just closed. Wolf
Charbosch was arrested by the rural
gendarmes and dragged before the judge.
The latter assuming his chain of Office,
said that for the affront he had received
from the prisoner he condemned him to
be beaten. The Jew was Immediately
gagged, his hands bound with cords,
and thrown to the ground. Thereupon
the judges coachman seated himself up
on the victims legs, while a gendarme
sat upon his head. The latter, however,
now protested that he would have no
part in such punishment. Upon this
the Judge angriIy exclaimed: 81 am the
Judge and accept the responsibility"
and at the same time Selling loaded
carbine, Ieveled it at the gendarme's
breast, saying: "If you do not obey, I
will shoot you" The punishment then
proceeded, and it is stated that the un-
fortunate creature was taken up half
dead and carried to prison, where he re-
mains speechless, and is unable to take
food. The local doctor made deposi-
ton in the matter, while the distressed
wife of the outraged Jew has forwarded
the attested appeals to the procurator
and the governor of the province.

Bombay More Crowded Than London.

One of the results of the Indian CEN

pire, is more crowded than London it.
self. The density of'population in Lon
don in the most densely peopled parts is
less than the density of twelve most
crowded sections of Bombay, with a
population of more than 43O, 600 people.
These sections have an average popula-
ton of 1887 per acre. In Bombay the
average of population is about 50 per
acre; in London 40. The extreme in
London rises to 222 per acre, whereas
in Bombay it rises to 759. The popula-
tion of the section in which the crowd
ing is double that of the most crowded
divisions of London is equal to more
than 81 per cent of the total population,
but the area OF these sections is only 81
per cent. of the island. In other words,
81 per cent. of the population are
crowded upon 81 per cent. of the sur
face of the land.

SOLDIERS GR4TES.

Proposals are solicited for furnishing
5000 headstones of American white
marble for unmarked graves of Union
soldiers. Acts of congress in 1873 and
1879 provided for the erection of these
headstones, but the work has been per-
mitted to lag until now. The appro-
priateness of the memorials must be felt
by all. In almost every northern GENE
terry there are stones which recount the
honorable services of fallen soldiers, and
it is eminently proper that the govern
ment should erect headstones over the
unmarked graves of its soldiers in the
national cemeteries. About eighty of
these cemeteries were laid out to receive
the victims of the great war of the rebel
lion, and more than 100000 men were
buried In twenty-five of the most i'm
portant of them. The cemeteries con-
tanning more than 10000 graves each
are those at Nashville, Vicksburg, Fred
ericksburg, Arlington Heights, Mem
phis, Andersonville aid Atlanta-names
which are linked with some of the most
memorable events of the war. The few
thousand headstones desired by the gov
eminent will mark only a small part of
the soldier graves, but, wherever it is
possible to make the necessary identif-
cations, the unmarked graves of Union
soldiers should have headstones,

MISTAKE IN THE COUNT.
An Error of One Thousand Votes in the
Iowa Official Vote.

An Error of One Thousand Votes in the
Iowa Official Vote.
Dies MONIES, Ia, January 19.-It is
alleged that the secretary of state has
discovered an error of thousand votes
in the official vote for governor, as
canvassed and declared by the Joint
convention Wednesday. The claim
is that Mahaska County was cred
tied with a thousand too many
democratic votes. If this be the case,
and the result as declared is reconsid-
cred, Sherman's majority would reach
above $4,000. Representative Carpen-
ter, it is said, will move a reconsidera-
ton of the count Monday next, when
the legislature convenes, but in all prob
ability this will be opposed by the
democrats, who desire to keep the ma
jority below 1000, which is the point
upon which many bets hang.

WAR WHISPERS.

There is liable to be an explosion of
war at any time in Europe. The Ger
man press is doing all it can to force the
kaiser's government to commence hos
tiiities against the French republic.
There is much inhammable matter lying
around loose In southeastern Europe.
Bulgaria and Servia are in a turmoil, and
IN all the DanUbian municipalities there is
stormful feeling between the Slavonic
and German populations. The next war
III Europe will be mighty one. Ger
many will endeavor to still further cut
down the dominions of France. The
latter has an army numerically large on
paper, but far less numerous and not at
all as efficient as Germany. Single
handed the French will not be match
for the Germans, unless they should de-
velop a general of exceptional ability.
France is isolated. England cannot
help her, while Austria, Italy, and Spain
are her foes. Russia might make a
flank attack upon Germany, but the
car is short of money and many of his
subjects are disconnected. The future
looks very gloomy for France. Another
great war viii make vast changes in the
map of Europe.
