what they say 1t may, therefore, be taken for
granted that this railroad will take the course of
all others sold at foreclosure SALE and be bought
in for the benefit of its mortgage creditors, the
hrst-mortgage bondholders."
Under the most favorable circumstances the
company cannot be reorganiZed, the money
raised and the road practically be rebuilt under
two years. The indications now are that Boston
capitalists will advance the money to improve
the roadbed, converting it into a standard gauge
road. Then it has to be entirely re-equipped, and
Dy the time these improvements are made, no
one knows who will own the l.. b. q w. road
or any other road of like character. The out
look now is that all the roads east of the Missls
sippi river will be owned by half dozen cor
porations in a few years.

The White Ant.

One may never see the insect, possibly,
in the flesh, for it lives underground, but
its ravages confront one at every turn
You build your house, perhaps, and for q
few months fancy you have pitched upon
the one solitary site in the country where
there are no white ants. But one day sud
denly the door-post totters, and lintels and
rafters come down together with crash.
You look at a section of the wrecked tim,
bers, and discover that the whole inside is
eaten clean away. The apparently solid
logs of which the rest of the house is built
are now mere cylinders of bark, and through
the thickest of them you could push youl
little finger. Furniture, tables, chairs
chests of drawers, everything made of wooC
is inevitably attacked, and in single night
strong trunk is often riddled through and
through and turned into matchwood
There is no limit, in fact, to the depreda
tions by these insects, and they will eat
book, or leather, or cloth, or anything, and
in many parts of Africa believe if mar
lay down to sleep with wooden leg il
would be heap of sawdust in the morning
So much feared is this insect now, that NJ
one in certain parts of India and Afric;
ever attempts to travel with such thing
as a wooden trunk. On the Tanganyika
plateau l have camped on ground which
was as hard as adamant, and as innocent o.
white ants apparently as the pavement o.
St. Paul's, and wakened next morning t.
find stout wooden box almost gnawed tC
pieces. Leather portmanteaus share thu
same fate, and the only substances which
seem to defy the marauders are iron ant
tin.-Good Words.

Our Olio.
Origin of Familiar Words, Phrases
and Expressions.

THE ORDER OF THE GARTER: "HoNI
SOFT QUE NAL Y PENsE. Evil to him
who evil thinks. Tradition has it that
Edward III, gave grand ball, at which
the beautiful Countess of Salisbury acci-
IDENTIFY dropped one Of her garters. Seeing
her dismay, and observing the smiles on
the faces of some of the guests, the king
took up the garter and said, "Honi soft,
etc. Then binding the ribbon to his knee
he said, II will cause it to come about that
the proudest noble in the land will deem it
the greatest honor to wear this band" So
he established the Order of the Garter"
A ROLAND FOR AN OLIvER.-Roland
and Oliver were two distinguished follow
ers of Charlemange, and performed exploits
so daring yet similar that they were con-
stantly confounded. Finally they contested
in arms, single handed, for five consecutive
days, on an island in the Rhine, but so
equal were they that neither gained the
advantage. So we use the expression, "He
gave him Roland for his Oliver"
THE PAwNBROKER' THREE GOLDEN
BALLs.-The Medici family had for their
coat of arms three gilded pills, in token of
their profession of medicine. They were
rich merchants of a Florentine family who
lent money. The Lombards, who first lent
money in England, brought the Medici
motto-though changed to three golden
balls-with them.
A BLUE SToCKING.-A literary woman.
About the beginning Of the fifteenth CEN
tury society of literary ladies and gentle
men was formed in Venice, who were char
acterized by the color of their stockings
Two centuries later the Partisan female,
Savaulis, introduced the fashion. Itspread
to England, but died out about 1910.
To CATCH A TARTAR-to be outdone.
In battle against the Turks, an Irish
soldier shouted to his commanding officer
that he had caught Tartar. "Bring him
along, then" said the general "But he
won't come" said the Irishman. "Then
come yourself" "Arrah, an so would,
but he won't let me, answered Paddy.
I'LL Cook YOUR GOOSE FOR YOU
Eric, King of Sweden, on one occasion ap-
pearing before town with small army,
the enemy derisively hung out goose from
the walls for him to shoot Finding Eric
was not to be baffied, the enemy asked him
his intentions, when the king replied, "To
cook your goose for you"
DO NOT PIN MY FAITH ON YOUR
SLEEvE.-In feudal times each vassal wore
his lords badge pinned ON his sleeve.
After time it became customary in the
lords to often change the device of the
badge; hence: "You wear the badge, but |
do not pin my faith on your sleeve"
The BARRIERS PoLE.-In early times
BARRIERS performed the Office of surgeons.
His sign pole was surmounted by basin
for catching the blood in venesection, and
was also painted with red and white
spiral stripes, emblematic of the two banda
ges used by them in blood-letting.
Nor TO KNOW B FROM Bulls FoOT.-
The letter B somewhat resembles the bulls
parted hoof, and anyone but fool is sup
posed to know the difference.

A Still Tongue.

An old, experienced Wall Street banker
remarked in course of conversation with a
reporter on one of our exchanges, a few
days ago, that "a still tongue was often a
fortune" The idea he wished to convey
was that men who talked too much expose
the secrets of their business A silent
man is generally the safest adviser; he
thinks before he speaks, and weighs well
his words. Some men are as ready with
their opinions as hungry man for dinner;
all that is required is the opportunity to
air them. Others are so voluable they tell
all they know about their own business,
and their neighbors' as well. Generally,
you can take the measure of an inveterate
talker as it's wind and froth. On the
other hand, the man who holds his tongue
is not easily fathomed. "Still water runs
Deep" with but little noise and friction,
while the shadows foam and fret with
constant tumult.
As rule, the silent man is methodical,
painstaking, careful. He weighs his words
and pounds accurately. In business he
makes no fuss or parade; he transacts it,
however, with diligence and prudence.
Brag and vanity are twins; together they
were born and together they will die.
Conceit and boasting are poor elements
in trade; airs put on as soon as little
money is made usually have chill. Boast
ing of big profits and speedy fortune to
every listener shows lack of good sense
and sound judgment. Men have been
hung on their own testimony, and mer.
chants have failed from too much tongue
Why should the secrets of the store Oh
counting room be proclaimed on the street
corner? A merchants knowledge of his
business is the safest in his own breast
If he is making money, the fact will disclose
itself soon enough, in solid, substantial
way If you must have confdant, let it
be your wife. She is entitled to it, and is
your helpmate.

The Greatest City in the Worlc

London, England, is the gre Jest city
world ever saw. 1t is the Heart Of Il
British Empire and the world. 1t coversj
within the fifteen miles radius of Charing
Cross (Strand), 700 square miles. u
numbers within these boundaries 800
inhabitants. 1t comprises over ZOO
foreigners from every quarter of the 6
1t contains more Roman Catholics -
Rome itself; more Jews than the whole of
Palestine; more Irish than Dublin; more
Scotchmen than Edinburgh; more Welsh
men than Cardiff. 1t has birth in every
five minutes; has a death in every eight
minutes; has seven accidents every day id
its 5000 miles of streets; has on an average
forty miles of streets opened and 10000
new houses built in it every year. In 1881
there were added %, 10 new houses to thu
vast aggregate of dwellings which is called
the metropolis, thus forming 368 new
streets and one square, covering distancI
of sixty miles and eighty -four yards. 1t
difficult to form any mental picture froI
these figures. Brighton (the queen
watering places in 1881 had 2O,379ai
habited houses, so that London
added to itself town bigger that
London has 10000 annually a
birth) to its population; has ove
ships and 10000 sailors in its port
day; has as many beer shops and gin pa
aces as would, if placed side by side, stretd
from Charing Cross to Portsmouth, d
tance of seventy-eight miles; has $50
drunkards annually brought before its ma
istrates; has seventy miles of open sho
every Sunday; yearly delivery in its pd
tai districts of 298,O00,0O0 of lette
Eight hundred and fifty trains pass Ck
ham junction every day, and the 4

DECEMBER.
From the Buffalo Courier

Down drop the painted leaves
The world lies stripped and wounded, cold an d
bare;
Piled are the golden sheaves,
And passed is every object sweet and fair.
Now faded are the flowers
And grass on sloping hills and tranquil dales,
And songless are the bowers
Where the lovers came and breathed their cret
tales.
The fruits are ripe and gone;
The fields have lost their wealth and verna cheer;
The stars throw smiles upon
The fullarmed cleaners of the harvest year.
Winds come with chilling breath;
Rains fall, and brooks from woods begin to rise;
Glooms fill the realm of death,
And birds take flight for warmth of southern skies
There's nothing bright nor fair,
Save fields of wheat that their cloaks of green;
There's nothing in the air
But chill, where rays of gold and love have been.
The seed of change sown.
Thro' months by yiewless hands in field and town,
And autumn, near his throne,
Lets fall his crowded horn and brazen crown
The fire burns on the hearth,
Where tempting fruit and charming books abound;
Love opens springs of mirth.
Where radiant hopes and bubbling joys are found.
The skies hang cold and gray,
Among the hills the winds begin to blow
Herds strike their homeward way:
And earth grows white and strange with flying
snow.

Education of Girls.

can only hope that with the new and
freer ideas now coming up some of the good
old ways may also be restored. Respect
shown to the aged, modesty, simple dress,
housekeeping, daughters learning from
good mothers their domestic arts, are SO
much better than the too early frivolity and
freedom so many girls now enjoy. The
little daughter sent me by my dying sister
has given me renewed interest in the ed
ucation of girls, and fresh anxiety con-
cerning the kind of society they are to enter
by and by.
Health comes first, and early knowledge
of truth, obedience and self-control; then
such necessary lessons as all must learn, and
later such accomplishments as taste and
talent lead her to desire-a profession OF
trade to fall back upon in time of need, that
she may not be dependent or too proud to
work for her board Experienced is the best
teacher, and with good health, good prin-
ciples and a good education, any girl can
make her own way and be the graver and
better for the exertion and discipline
