Will Shorten Their Time.

For two or three years past the Vandalia and
the Pennsylvania people have been agitating
the shortening of the running time of their
trains between ST. Louis and New York and it is
now highly probable that definite action will DO
taken in the matter. William r. McKeen, pres
ident of the Vandalia, goes East next week for
conference with the Pennsylvania officials. Mr..
McKeen says it is proposed to land passengers in
New York at 7.30 A. NJ and 7:30 P. NJ, instead
of, as unde. the present arrangement. at
1880 A. H. and 1870 p. NJ; Or in other words,
the running time will be shortened between st.
Louis and New York three hours and thirty min
utes The track of the Vandalia and the c., st.
L. & P. are now in such excellent condition as
to admit of running trains at the highest speed
known In this country, and the companies now
propose to take advantage Of the directness of
their lines and the superior condition of their
road bed and equipments That they have not
taken advantage Of their advantages before has
been a surprise to railroad men, and only ex-
cusable by the possibility that il might lead to
generalization in rates. This obstacle is now
removed, as rates could hardly be more democrat
lied than at the present time.
One Road Which Proposes to Maintain Rates.
The position of the Central Pacific road in the
transcontine ntal pool is creating good deal of
talk. One dispatch reported that it would quit
the pool because it was unsatisfactory to it.
Another dispatch said it had refused to receive
the Union Pacifc's freight at Ogden; but this
was correct only in that it had refused
to accept freight except at full schedule
rates, which the Central Pacific was DESTROYS
should be maintained The Union Pacific, it APP
pears. had ''cut rates. or was charged with cut
ting, and the Central was determined that the
Union Pacific should itself bear all the loss from
cutting. The Central Pacific people take the
ground that if the lines east of Ogden insist
rates. they must do business for practically
nothing The Offset will naturally be to divert
freight TO the other routes in fact it is supposed
by some that the motive is to turn as much bust
ness as possible to the Sunset route, which is
understood to have hauled 70 per cent of the
through freight from New York to San Francisco
for several months past.

Heavy KorseS.

Mere weight in horse is no jndica-
ton of his value. A horse may be so
heavy and yet so weak that he cannot
Go more than carry his own weight
around while lighter horse would
outdraw aud outwork him. The old
Morgan horse was small. but so why
and strong in sinew and muscle that no
other horse, however heavy and large
he might he, could outdraw him. The
farm horse and the roadster, the army
horse, and the other horses which do
active work should be of this kind.
The very heavy horses have their uses;
chiefly for drawing heavy loads on paved
streets in cities. Some of these heavy
Percherons aud ClydesAales have sing
ly moved load Of seven tons upon the
ordinar paved streets Of cities where
they are kept. But this is not what a
farmer wants at all. and he should not
mistake mere size and weight for general
purpose usefulness, nor fat and sleek
ness for strength.

ter. If both heel and sole are evenly
worn level the wearer is clear

trustworthy employee or an excellent
wife ana mother. If the outsids sole is
cut through the wearer, if man, is in
clined to be adventurous, unreliable and
spasmodic in all his acts, if a woman,
she is predisposed to holiness and way
ward tendencies. If the inside of the
sole is cut through it indicates weakness
and vacillation in a man and modesty
in {, woman.
"A certain young man who has pat
ronized me for years was keeping COM
pany with two girls, also customers OF
mine I noticed that one Of them wore
out her shoes on the outside of the sole
first, while the other stepped squarely
and wore down both shoes alike. I've
always had liking for the young fel-
low, and knowing that he was wavering
between the two girls, [ took him aside
one day and showed him the shoes Of
his danes and told him what have
told you. The result was that he mar
ried the square stopper and was happy,
while the other girl disgraced herself.
II can also tell something of persons
tendencies by the size Of his shoe, the
breadth of the sole, the condition OF tho
buttons or strings, the amount of wear
on the toe, the condition of the lining,
ETC. I would not advise friend to
marry girl who squeezes number

a one is apt to prove vain, affected and

trod only 10 years behind him in the
road Of life, why have seen many old

all, what matter years when the heart
is still young? They both did right in
marrying, and the Indian summer shines
peacefully on them still.

A Ministers Experience with
Choirs.

Is art "service Does the exer-
else of it in divine worship partake OF
the spirit Of the inspired counsel,
"Whosoeyer will be chief among you
let him be your seryant?" This thrust
ing forward of a personality of display
does not look like it. Once our alto
asked me, as was entering the pulpit,
whether had any objections to chang
ing the closing hymn, for she was ex-
pecting some friends that evening, and
they could not come till late, and she
wanted to sing a solo. And once, at q
weekday funeral, our tenor crowded
me even to my embarrassment with
request that he might be permitted to
precede the arrival Of the train of
mourners with vocal piece in the
gallery, for he had just heard that two
members of the Music Commit
tee Of another congregation
would Re present, and he wished them
to hear him, as he desired to secure the
place of conductor there,
"Arts q service mark" But does it
take the place of the rest of the service
also?
This entire discussion turns at once
upon the answer to the question wheth-
er the choir, the organ, the tune book,
and the blower are for the sake of help
ing Gods people worship Him, Or
whether the public assemblies of Chris
tans are for the sake of an artistic re-
galement of listeners the personal exhi-
bition Of musicians, Or the advertiser
ment of professional soloists who ere
competing for q salary.
In our travels some of us have seen
the old organ in remote village of
Germany on the case Of which are
carved, in the ruggedness of Teutonic
characters, three notices; if they could
be rendered from their terse poetry into
English they would do valiant service
in our time for all the singers and play
ers together. Across the top of the
keyboard is this: Thou prayest here
not for thyself, thou prayest for the con-
gregation so the playing should elevate
the heart, should be simple, earnest and
pure" Across above the right
hand row of stops is
this: "The organ tone must ever be
adapted to the subject of the song; it is
for thee, therefore, to read the hymn
entirely through so as to catch the true
spirit" Across above the left hand stops
is this; I'm order that thy playing shall
not bring the singing into confusion, it
becoming that thou listen sometimes.
and as thou nearest thou wilt be likelier
to play as Gods people sing. "-Rsv. DR.

Weighing Cattle.

Let me suggest to stock growers to
weigh the cattle before turning to pas
ture, and again in the fall. 1t is sur
prising how few farmers can answer in
diligently the question, "What is a
fair gain for yearling, or two-year-old.
on pasture for six months?" I have
weighed all growing stock twicea year
for some years, and think it has paid
many fold for the cost and trouble, al
though I go two miles to stock scales.
This regular weighing has taught me
several things First, that one must use
the best OF judgement and buy good.

Combining Grass and Grain Feeding.
The farmer who wishes to make the
greatest grain and profit in cattle breed
ing will find it, I think, by combining
grass and grain feeding. In correspond
ing with some large cattle feeders in
Illinois, have learned that in no other
way can so large and uniform gain be
had. Some fucts connected with this
are worthy of notice: First, that it
takes but about half so much corn to
fatten an animal when on good pasture
as when on dry feed, one peck of corn
a day giving as good results as half
bushel in cold winter weather: second,
cattle on grass are in no danger OF over
eating corn, so as to produce founder
or indigestion, and as there are no win
ter storms to contend with the gain is
uniform; third pasture sufficient for
ten cattle without grain will furnish
grass for twenty if fed what corn they
will eat; fourth, the profit on cattle will
be rather from improving the grade, SO
as to get an advance in price, than from
what is added to their weight, and grass
and grain together will make the finest
cattle, which will bring the best prices.

conIey and courtnev.

After the regatta in Boston last Saturday,
VIM. Spelman, Conley's hacker, met John P.
st. John of St. Louis, and said that he would
back Conley and Courtney against Hosmer
and Gaudaur for any reasonable amount of
money in pair-oared race. The two gentle
men talked the affair over during the even
ing, and they separated with the understand
ing that they should meet there yesterday
and make the match. If arranged, the match
will probably be for $1,000 side. A match
between these oarsmen would be very inter
esting, and it is more than probable that the
winners would break the double scull record.
Since writing the above an Associated
Press despatch has been received, which
says the articles were signed yesterday for
the race 1t is to be three miles with turn,
for $500 side, open for $1,000 side if mu-
tuslly agreeable; said race to take place
some time between August 14th and 24th on
the Charles River. In addition to the stakes
the race is for the double scull championship
of the United States.
