Mexico, and Ex.Goy. John G.. Brown of
Tennessee, attorney of the Texas &
Pacific railroad, were to-day appointed
receivers OF that road by Judge Pardee OF
the United States circuit court on the
application OF the Missouri Pacific rail-
road. The application, which Is lengthy
ono, recites that the Texas s Pacific road Is
indebted TO The Missouri Pacific In the
sum Of Sl,G8S, 0l579 for money adj
yanced, which loan Is secured by a pledge
Of ~, COO, 600 OF terminal bonds OF the
Texas & Pacific; that the Texas s Pa
clnc had allowed it, notes TO 20 90 pro-
test aud had failed TO pay the Missouri
Pacific the money due Il outof It's surplus
earnings, devotlng that surplus instead to
the payment Of interest on its first mort
gage bonds in order TO prevent
foreclosure. The allegations are made
that the road needs repairs badly, such as
rolling stock, steel rails and other i'm
prOvcments, in order 10 make 10 paying
institution, that 10 Is rapidly dctcrioratng
I'm value for lack OF the money to make
those improvements, aud that The plant
III has every reason for believing that
with proper management, and, if the sur
plus fund Of the road be devoted to
putting t In better order, h can DC made
paving and profitable institution. 10 IL
finally asserted that the hrst mortgage
bondholdcrs consent to the appointment
OF "a receiver, and Will make no opposition
to 10. The petition was fled yesterday,
and the matter was kept quiet, but leaked
out in stock circles to-day. The papers
were served and the receiver appointed.
EN-GOv. Brown in an Interview tonight
said that the Texas s. Pacific railroad had
been doing fair business, but was not
making money. II had been injured by
high waters in Texas and floods in Louis
lana, which had put it to heavy loss and
expense The tightncss of the money
market had further affected its business.
A portion OF the road ran through very
thin section Of 'reSas This section had
not Tiled up with population rs fast as
the railroad had expected, which was
largely ia consequence OF the times The
road, therefore found iJs earnings smaller
than 70 had f0rcseeu, not enough TO pay
the Interest on the bonds or make the Inn
pIuycmeuts that were desired. 10 had
constantly deterioratcd for lack OF the
necessary repairs and 1t seemed probable
that It's business would be riOusly AZ
ieCled In time unless these improvements
could be made ltWas for this reason that
nm application was made for receiver
Thcgc would he no change In the en-
plJyys oi tine road and but few removals
The road would cease to pay interest on
il- bonds, and the surplus money would
be used TO Improve II until 1t would be
placed on its feet again. Gov. Brown
said That ON the New Orleans 4 Pacific
railroad The travel between Shreveport
and III pnsO was the most expensive and
least profitable portion of the road

,GOSSAMER SPIDERS.

,mhe Prototypes of the Perfected Gas Ral-
loon.
There are certain tiny spiders called
gossamers, which have curious power
of floating in the air. They have been
seen on the tops of lofty spires, and they
are sometimes SO numerous that the air
is full of their floating webs, and the
ground is white with those that have de-
seended Their mode of ascent is this.
They climb to the top of some elevated
object, if it be only a grass-blade. They
then pour out a long, slender, thread
like web, which shortly begins to tend
upward. As soon as the spider feels the
pull. it eeawls upon the web, and sails
away into the air. The duration and
height of the ascent depend much on the
wind and character of the atmosphere.
But, as it gradually becomes laden with
the moisture that more or less fills the
air, it becomes heavier than the atmos-
phere, and gently sinks to the ground.
What may be the object of these serial
VOYAGES no one knows. They may be
for she purpose of capturing minute in
seets, or they may be for mere amuse
meut. But in either case they are highly
instructive, as showing the principle ON
which the balloon was framed.-Fr0m

NURSERY HINTS.
Directions For Mothers Who Believe That
Prevention Is Better Than Cure.

Directions For Mothers Who Believe That
Prevention Is Better Than Cure.
In recent bookby Marion Harland,
Common Sense in the Nursery she
attributes much of the babies sufferings
from cold to the placing of the children
on the floor to play. She says: ''In
the best warmed room there is inevita-
bly, current of cooled air close to the
floor, in which as baby sits on the carpet
his feet are bathed, while his shoulders
may overtop it, She considers an
other prolific source of trouble the hold
ing of the young monarch close to the
window, the air in close proximity to
the window panes being several degrees
cooler than that further in the room,
and more or less draughts through the
castings of the window can not be pre-
vented.
Sudden changes from the room used
as nursery to the halls, or rooms with
lower temperature, are another evil,
which might be avoided by extra wraps
when it is necessary to expose baby to
such change. Flannel night dresses
coming below the feet far enough to al
low of being drawn tightly at the hem,
forming bag, without preventing the
baby using his feet with perfect freedom,
are one of the means to prevent expo
sure at night. Marion Harland suggests
loops on the lower edges of the mat
tress, and corresponding buttons on the
blankets, as a safeguard against expo
sure to cold in the night
In the daytime have a mattress COW
cred to put on the floor for baby to
stretch and roll ON, or box with sides
not more than five or six inches high,
entirely padded on the inside, and large
enough to hold the baby and his toys;
this, with a high baby-chair having
table attachment, will prevent hours OF
suffering, anxiety and toll.
One wise mother, whose babies are the
pictures of health, bundles them up every
day as warmly as though they were to
60 into the outer air, and they are ear
ried, and allowed to rum when large
enough, about a room the windows OF
which are all open. This allows them
to have all the benefit possible from
outer air when the weather is SO in
clement that they could not be taken
out of doors. These babies rarely have
a cold, and when met out of doors in
winter they are charming sight. APP
parently they are clad in such way as
to be perfectly proof against cold. Soft
wooden dresses and cloaks, hood tied
closely under the chin, warm leggins,
thick-soled shoes without heels, and,
when the snow is on the ground, rubber
boots, complete their costume. With
red cheeks, shining eyes, and clear, ring
ing voices, they are the embodiment of
health and happy childhood -CArsstian
Union.

sand persons. The finest apartments
are ON the ground floor; the poorest are
reached by ascent of from ten to twelve
stories. A suite of six rooms suffices
for the wealthiest dodgers who have no
palace of their own. Two or three sup
ply all the needs of the well-to-do trades
man and his family; the majority of pro-
fessional men who are bachelors, nearly
all teachers and students, and a large
class of officials find themselves amply
accommodated by single apartment
The cost of lodgings depends, of course,
upon such elements as situation, number
and furnishing of rooms, height of fiat
and service. As rule, it may be said
that, taking into consideration the gen.
eral purchasing power of the money ex-
pended-a precaution consistently neg
lected in international comparisons of
this kind-house rent is somewhat higher
in st. Petersburg than it is in Paris or
London. / offer these details simply in
order that the reader may be the
better prepared for singular Gus
tom to which 1 here invite his
attention. Rent charges in Russia
are invariably exacted .'in advance"
even when a lodger surrounds himself
with luggage valuable enough to yield
the amount of a whole years arrears
Upon personal property of this kind
there can be legally no lien. The same
Russian law which hampers foreigner
and native alike with the police surveil-
lance of passport regulations, selling
every opportunity to throw obstacles in
the way of free movement, gives to the
ledger the fullest right to carry off his
luggage in the teeth of an irate land
lord c1amoring for the settlement of his
unpaid bill. Any forcible detention of
property in such cases is treated by the
courts as quasi-criminal offense. How
easy it is, under these circumstances, to
attach to whole class an undeserved
stigma of sordid caution, or of suspi-
ciOus distrust of their fellow-beings,
will be at once SEEM The law itself is
an interesting survival; its origin, as
defense of personal rights in the country
where the modern ukaz so frequently
ignores them, must lie as deeply in his
torical causes as the democratic period
itself.-Ett,nu,ad Noble, in atlantic.

A French Railway Incident.

A murderous attack was made by four
men few days ago on passenger in
the morning express running between
Paris and Brussels. A gentleman, who
entered first-class compartment was
followed by the four men, who had
previously attracted the attention of
the station-master as suspicious
looking characters, so much so that he
had warned the guard to keep an eye on
their movements during the journey.
No sooner had the train started than
the strangers produced playing
cards, and asked the fifth passen-
ger to join in the game The
gentleman declined. The ruffians set
upon him, and were about to thrust him
out on the railway track when the guard
suddenly appeared. On his arrival one
of the sharpers sprang through the open
doorway, and has not since been heard
of. The three men now faced the guard
and passenger. The last named hap
pened to have about him revolver
which he had hitherto been unable te
present On its appearance the trio at
once gave up. At the first station they
were handed over to the police.-M. T.

All great discoveries are at first derided.
Seven years ago man yet under middle

the continent, found himself suddenly
stricken down. When his physicians said
recovery was impossible, he used new dis
covery, which, like all advances in science,
had been opposed bitterly by the school
men. Nevertheless, it cured him, and out
of gratitude therefor he consecrated a part
of his wealth to the spreading of its merits
