TRANSPORTATION NOTES.
The Wisconsin CentrdPs Nesc Li,ae Be-
tacee,l st. Paul and Chica10.

The Wisconsin CentrdPs Neac lime Be
t,cee,. st. Paul and Chicago.
President Alexander Mitchell and Acting
General Manager Roswell Miller, Of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, have gone to
New York The object of the trip is under
stood to be for the purpose of consulting with
the directors of their company regarding the
proposed contract with the Wisconsin Cen
tral, giving the latter an outlet from Schleis-
ingeryille, Wis, to Chicago. The Wisconsin
Central has just completed an extension to
St. Paul. 1t is DESTROYS of securing at once
an outlet to Chicago for its st. Paul business.
AT present its eastern terminus is at Schleis-
ingerviIle, forty eight miles from Milwaukee,
and it gets to Milwaukee from Schleisinger-
vile over the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.Paul,
with which company it has had contract
for some years past. The Wisconsin Central
now desires to extend that contract to allow
it the use of the Milwaukee & st. Paul from
Milwaukee to Chicago AS this would make
the Wisconsin Central direct competitor OF
the other roads in the Northwestern Traffic
association, of which the Milwaukee
d st. Paul is a member, the latter does
not desire to make such a contract. The
Wisconsin Central, however, threatened to
build at once an independent line from
Schleisingerville to Milwaukee and Chicago
if it does not succeed in making an arrange
ment with the Milwaukee IL st. Paul for the
use of the latter's tracks from Milwaukee to
Chicago. The construction of such line
by the Wisconsin Central would, of course,
be far more serious for the interests of the
Milwaukee & St. Paul than a contract giving
the Wisconsin Central the use of its tracks.
In the latter event the Milwaukee 81 st. Paul
would at least receive good return from the
Wisconsin Central, which would make up for
the loss in revenue on account of the addi-
tiOnal competition. AS the officials of the
Milwaukee 81 st. Paul hardly know what
course to pursue under the circumstances,
Messrs. Mitchell and Miller have gone to New
York TO consult with the directors regarding
the matter. 1t is the general opinion in
railroad circles here that contract will
finally be made with the Wisconsin Central
giving it the outlet to Chicago over the Mil
waukee & st. Paul tracks, and that the Wis
consin Central will be admitted into ths
Northwestern Traffic association.

PROGRESS IN JAPAN.

The Marvellous Reforms in tho Empires
Government.
There is no government on earth
which has been so completely and
radically changed as that Of japan.
A quarter of q century ago, the civil.
cation and institutions Of that count
were similar to those Of Europe in the
Middle Ages. The feudal system was
in full force, but contact with England
and the United States induced the
Japanese to change radically all their
institutions, SO as to make them con.
form to European ideas. A commits.
sion OF eminent Japanese, headed by
a brother of the Mikado, is employed
in travelling through Europe with q
view to recommending o new constit tn.
ton to the Japanese nation. An eff rt
will be made. 1t is said, to introduce
parliamentary government. These sud.
den changes are not regarded as being
wise or wholesome. The experience
OF the world Is that national institu.
lions grow. and m not made. Mod.
ern civilization is tho result of develop.
lnent, and the changes that have taken
place are the result Of centuries Of
revolution. There Is really dang or
that the Japanese will make q seriou Ia
mistake II they initiate too closely the
models furnished them by modern 81.

Mineral Elements Of Hay.

1t is well known by all who have
studied the elements of vegetable
growth that the grasses, like other
plants, draw from the soil only their
mineral constituents, all the other ele-
ments coming from the air. II hay is
burned, the former remain in the
ashes, while the volatile portion goes
back to the atmosphere. A chemical
analysis Of these ashes shows just what
mineral elements they are composed
Of, and this indicates the manures
needed to restore to the soil the fer
tility thus drawn from it. A French
agricultural exchange says that recent
analyses Of the ashes Of hay give the
following results: One hundred pounds
Of the ashes Of hay contain 8 to 10 lbs
of potash, 10 to Is lbs Of lime, 6 to IA
lbs Of phosphoric acid, rs to 40 lbs Of
silica and 4l-l00 to II lbs of magnesia.
The variations r according to eli.
mate, soil, etc. From this it will be
that potash, lime and phosphoric
acid are needed to restore worn-out
grass land. Barn.yard manure is rich
In all Of them. The soil contains the
silica and magnesia. Prairie Farmer.

ABOUT DOCTORS.
A Complaint That They Do Not Receive
the High Esteem Due Them.

a complaint That They DO NOT Receive
the High Esteem Due Them.
DR.. Quain, in the Harveian Grafton
Of this year, gave u%tterance to an old,
and yet substantially true, complaint.
The medical profession. he said, not
withstanding all it had done for the
world, and especially had done recent
ly, did not receive quite the respect
or, as he called it, the ''high estima.
tion''-which was its due. Its men,
bers have arrested the course Of epi-
demic diseases so ably that, but for hu.
mar perversity, smallpox would cease
to be dangerous, as it has ceased in Ire
land and in the German army; that
cholera has been stopped, Us it was
stopped in Liverpool in 1884; and that
typhoidal fevers have been brought IN.
der a control unhoped for twenty years
ago. They have annulled pain, as II
were, with ohloroform, so that opera.
tons long deemed impossible have be.
come easy, and that surgeons, we may
add, have lost much Of the callousness
to suffering which was once essential
to their success; and they have i'm.
proved hygiene, the treatment Of chill.
dren, and the practice Of midwifery.
until within the last %half-century Of
less-the advance being mostly recen,
two years have been added to the
male chance Of life and three and o hall
to the female, the improvement being
almost entirely an improvement in
health during the working decades Of
life. 1t is not that seniGty drags on
longer without dying, but that senility
is averted for a longer period, and that
the human race has in England more
time for healthful enjoyment and easy
work. Add to these great benefactions
one of them, the discovery Of chloro.
form, almost Unreasonable In its value
some smaller ones, such as the re.
vival of the use Of ether as an anesthet-
ic, the proof Of the utility Of the bro
mides, the experiments In antiseptics,
and the Improvement in febrifuges,
and we have a truly marvellous record
Of services done to the human race,
which, nevertheless, distrusts those
who have performed them. Men do
not pay to doctors the reverence which
is their right, but display a strange
readiness to thrust them aside, and 10
postpone the judgment Of a whole pro.
fession for that Of hopeless quacks.
Every nonsensical idea about medicine
finds its votaries; and men who have |
proved their capacity by their success
are considered narrow for denoancing !

theory, now nearly given up, Of in.
