Our olAsSt Railroad ,
lGathre IntaryiNv.1

What are the ages Of our oldest rail
4"Oh, well, you might ask mo wha.
were the oldest roads. The first road
ever built in England the Romans built
nearly 1900 years ago. The next kind
or roads put there were tramways, which
began about the close Of the eighteenth
century. They were generally made Of
wooden rails. The first iron was put
down on these tramways about the time
the Americans were resisting taxation
say, l767. by 1871 there were nearly
zoo miles of these iron trans in Wales
alone. Locomotive engines were first
suggested in England about 1920. Then
q passenger railroad was built in 1925,
the cars drawn by horses.
The first railroad line of any note on
the globe was from Liverpool to Man
chester, chartered by parliament in
1926, and it offered premium for To-
connective engine, and the premium was
won by George Stevenson, whose engine
ran thirty miles and back on her trial
trip, making as high as thirty miles an
hour, which is pretty good running now.
That first railroad cost $120, 900 a mile.
The same year tho Baltimore Il Ohio
railroad had been laid for q few miles,
and six miles had been put down of the
railroad from Charleston to Georgia.
The latter railroad James Edgar Thomp-
son, afterward president of the Penn.
sylvania railroad, was tho engineer Of,
and he was Pensylv anian.
The road from Liverpool to Manches.
ter was finally opened with engines in
1880, and the duke of Wellington was q
guest. This road was the pioneer Of all
railroads financially as well as materi
ally. In 1885 it was opened to Birming
ham and to London, and by 1850 thu
general British railroad system had beer
constructed. There were nearly 100.
miles OF railroad in England in 1S41.
The English spent 5000, 900, 900 in ter
years to build railroads. The Ameri
cans had by 1865 nearly $4,000 miles O
railroad. It is said that more gunpow
der has been spent to build American
railroads than was used in the who'll
war Of the rebellion. The first bi;
American tunnel was on tho Pennsyl
vania railroad in the Allegheny noun
tains, and cost $450,0 Tho Hoosa
tunnel IS about one mile and hal
long"

The Laws Of Physioloxy.
EXCHANGED

used to know very excellent lady
who for several years was an active
worker among the poor. She became
lame at length, and was confined at
home
A religious friend wrote notice of
the lady's enforced abandonment of be-
nevolent activities. One sentence was
this:
God has thus crippled her that she
might have leisure for holy reaec-
tons"
Seeing the notice, l called upon the
lady, and examined her feet. 1t was a
case of much walking with badly-fitting
shoes. If Gods plan was to cripple this
good woman that she might have time
for holy CONCENTRATIONS, how can you
explain the fact that poor little Irish
corn doctor, in one little hour, set her
on her feet again9
Who instituted the laws of physiOlOgya
People talk as if these were not Gods
laws. And are they not just as bind
ing and sacred Us Thou shalt not

twenty-five of his inventions on which
he has secured patents, and be has
thirty-eight Others not yst patented.

The Wages of Servants.
Progress

In 1870 there were 1,075, 900 domestic
servants in the country; at this time
there are undoubtedly at least 1900, 900.
Most OF them have no votes, but they
have fathers, brothers, and other rela-
tives to whom their earnings are of i'm
p0rtance.
If We suppose that there are now
100000 employed in this country,
their wages are about $216, OOO, 900. At
the English rate of wages these same
people would earn about $113, 900, 900;
at the French rate Of wages these same
people would earn about $50, 600, 600.

Health Fallacies.
(Lippincott's Magazine.l

A correspondent thinks that the health
of the people would be brought up to a
better condition if they were educated
out of the following fallacies.
The idea that cold baths are healthy
in winter and dangerous in mid-sum-
mer.
That rain water is more wholesome
than hard water.
q That bedrooms must DO heated in cold
weather.
That the misery of everlasting scrub
bing and soapsuds vapors Is compen-
stated by the comfort Of the lucid inter
walls.
That sick room must be hermet-
ically closed.
That it pays to save foul air for the
sake of its warmth.
THAT "draughts" are morbi6c agen.
That catarrhs are due to low temper
allure.
That even in midsummer children
must be sent to bed at sunset, when the
air begins to be pleasant.
That an after-dinner nap can dc
any harm.
That the sanitary conditions of the
air can be improved by the fetor of car.
bolic acid.
That there is any benefit in swallow
ing jugfulls of nauseous sulphur water.
That rest after dinner can be short
ened with impunity.
That outdoor recreation is waste OF
time.
That athletic sports brutalize tn
character.
That normal human being require
any other stimulant than exercise ant
fresh air. Isl. SR sh8
That any plan of study can justif.
the custom of stinting children in sleep
That the torpor of narcotism is prefer
able to insomnia.
That the suppression of harmless rec
reation will fail to beget vice and hypo
orisy.
That stimulation is identical with in
vigoration.
That fashion has q right to enforc
the wearing of wooden clothes in the do
days

The stsra ConvsatiohSlity Enisroea Upon
Our Cats and Dogs. "
y.4. london Spectator.l
Mr.. I 8. Mil, jim 6his essay on "Lib-
erty," long ago warned us Of the stupe.
gying influence Of custom upon human
beings, and held that We ought to
encourage eccentricities in each other.
and to guard jeal ,usly the right to be
eccentric, instead VI insisting On reduc.
ing every ono by the hard and fast pro.
crustean standard to q single dead
level of mediocrisy. But, whatever our
sins may bein THE respect toward human
beings surely they are greater, still
toward the domestic animals. We re-
'duce or horses, 10 far as possible, to
the mechanical condition of. locomotive
engines indeed, eccentric horses might
involve very serious, dangers 70 life and
limb-enr dogs to sentinels, which we
drill to social decorum as rigid as our
own; while we regard the eccentricities
Of q cat with undiguised horror, as the
mere prelude to. dangerous insanity.
There may be exceptions here and
there Sometimes you will find an old
lady who will protect eocentricity in a
parrot, a magpie, or a jackdaw, as q
bird that has right to a certain freedom
of movement in return for its entertain
ing attempts at conversation. But, on
the whole, there Is no sterner standard
of conventionality than that which We
enforce in our domestic ANIMALS. Pei
dogs become perfect bigots in favor OIL
the usual, and prosecute any attempt tt
deviate from 1t on the part even of q
more powerful and less favored col
league, as the inquisition persecute(
heresy, df as the court of Russia perse
cutes Nihilism.
There is nothing equal to the indigna
ton of an indoor dog at any invasion o.
the privacy Of the drawingroom by an
outdoor dog, and nothing more melall
chOly than the servile apologies which
the big dog will make to the little one
for even proposing to break through thu
animal etiquette Of the house. The hor
ror of the queens chamberlain, whe1
once an officer, presented himself at tn
levee in the proper court suit Oversize
by slippers, which he had forgotten t
to exchange for the regulation boots
was not 80 great as the horror of tn
terrier and the Pomeranian when COLI
or a setter presents himself on I'll
threshold of their mistress sitting room
We smother the genius Of our dogs wit
- our onventionalisms, and stiAe Ii
originality Of our cats with luxurior
brides.

It is common mistake to assume
that Australia is q country destitute of
large rivers. On the contrary, it pos
sesses one of the longest water-courses
IN the world, viz, the Darling, which IS
Manageable for s,345 miles, placing it
third in rank among the rivers OF the
world, estimated by their Manageable
length, and considerably above the Nile,
uayigable for 1900 miles; the Danube,
navigable for 1900 miles; the Rhine,
coo, and the Thames, navigable for only
1873 miles.

Chronometer Competition.

A great Swiss marine and pocket
thermometer competition is now going
on at Geneva, to last eighty.three days.
A special stove, in which an invariable
temperature can be maintained for sew

five days the thermometers placed
therein will be kept at one temperature,
which will afterwards be raised by de-

manner from IS to 80 per cent.

RENTS AND TRADE.

We recently alluded to the condi-
ton of rents and house property in
the States, showing that owners
are standing in their own light, as it
were, by insisting upon higher rents
than any ordinary business would
pay under existing conditions. We
find our opinion borne out in "a very
remarkable manner by the San Fran
cisco Commercial Herald. That con-
sentative paper, in its trade review,
March 10th, states:
Money is now very plentiful at our several
leading financial reservoirs, and some Of
our largest savings institutions are loaning
mouev freely upon irst-class real estate Sc
curity at six per cent per annum, and this
includes the payment of taxes by the lender.
1t is probably owing to this circumstance,
coupled with the cheapness of all building
ma terials-lumber, nails, cement, etc. that
so much building is now in progress, not
only in our city and suburbs, but through
out the State. This, too, in face Of the fact
that we have more vacant stores and dwell
ings than ever before. Perhaps the reason
for this is the great reluctance on the part
Of landlords to reduce their rents to COM
port with the times and the general ext
gencies of the tenants, who are by this
tenacity of feeling compelled either to cur
tail their store expenses or to remove their
residences across the bay to Alameda, Oak
land or Brooklyn, where rents are very much
less than in our city. a

HAMAkUApoko, Maui, April 9th.

Some late writer's in the Gazette have
been making themselves exceedingly
funny over the Haiku and Hamakuapoko
schools, rather at the expense of truth.
The latest writer especially draws on his
Imagination considerably, and has evil
IDENTIFY never been in the buildings e
attempts to describe.
The Young Mems Christian Association
building ut Hamakuapoko, which, at the
request OF the teacher herself, is being
used temporarily for school room, is a
new building, and not a 'shanty.' as
aPedagogos" describes it. The whole
center of the room is filed with benches
running across the room, and not around
the edge, as he says. The only thing I'M
suitable about it for school is that it is
not supplied with writing desks; also that
there are not suitable conveniences out
side, and that it is too small.
At Haiku the school was originally
started in the native church, but at the
request of the teacher was transferred to
the sugar room of the abandoned sugar
mill. The room is an immense one, and
is clean and comfortable. The school is
much better off than the one at Hamakua-
poke. They use the old cooper bench for
writing desk, and two tables. The
''cockroaches" are q myth. l have no
doubt there are many more in Peda-
gogos' " kitchen. There are no "molasses
tanks" in the sugar room; they are all up
stairs, and would cause no trouble at all
| but that some of them leak little.
OF course we want new school house,
with desks and all the accompanying con-
veniences, and understand that one is
soon to be built. A lot has been leased
| to the Boara of Education in a convenient
locality, and the matter is under advise
ment. These temporary schools are
much better than none, and 1 protest
against an untrue representation of them.
