Some Observations ON the Extension of
the Reeds Lake Railway.

Some Observations on the Extension of
the Reeds Lake Railway.
The right for street railway line from
the Union depot to connect with the pres
ent line TO the lake is one of the most valu-
able street railway franchises in the state
Yet the Cleveland managers of the Grand
Rapids railway ask that it be gisea to them.
Ought it to be given? Ought they not TO
pay for so valuable piece of property
which the city-the populace Of the city
owns? The only return which the man
ager makes in the ordinance which he has
asked the Council to pass is a tax of - per
car per year, which will amount tO-hOw
many extra ears will they put on, twenty
torty?-not over $500 at the very outside
Should the CITY sell this valuable franchise
for so low price?
The ordinance which these gentlemen
offer and which have read closely is very
carefully drawn II asks for the privilege
TO construct distinct railway from the
present dummy depot TO the Union depot
The ordinance provides for five cent fare
on this new line. and Mr.. Bev;er stated yes
terday that another five cent fare would be
charged from the present dummy depot 10
tie ldht Ctitc lOt the ApuAN iilp a. At
present.
If this ordinance is to be passed as it
stands the public will not receive one cent
benefit for this valuable franchise beyond
the 800 or $500 tax on cars. Is this enough
for a valuable piece of business which this
company desires to procure to put dollars in
the pockets its members?
There is good deal of loose talking be-
ing done about Improvements the railway
company will make if it gets his franchise.
The company has been very enterprsing-
| cheerfully accord it credit for that-but it
is very easy To build golden air castles

A through dummy line from the Union
depot To the lake is very desirable; but the
Street Railway Company should be willing
10 give the public some benefit in return
for the franchise by making the through
fare at least as low as FIVE cents each way.
if not lower, and by paving tax of at least
one per cent. on the gross receipts Of the

A Missionary Romance.

The story of an interesting romance
comes back from Constantinople con-
corning the little party of missionaries
sent to Turkey from the vicinity of Bos-
ton, by the American board, some
months ago. Among them was DR..
Graham, an estimabe young man, de-
scendant of Robert Bruce and graduate
of the university of Michigan. He did not
go under the auspices of the American
board, although travelling with the party.
Early last summer he volunteered to 90
to Turkey as a missionary physician. The
officers OF the American board were very
glad to gain so valuable a recruit, but
the young man was unmarried. 1t is an
inaexible rule of the American board
not to send single young men to the
mission fields. The services of unmar-
ried women are readily accepted. DR..
Graham was urged to provide himself
with a wife before the time of sailing. The
young man hadn't thought seriously of
matrimony. He certainly had no specific
plans made. He did, however, make an
earnest search for a wife during the few
weeks interim. The details of his search
no one knows hut himself. AT all
events, the time for departure came, and
he was wifeless. The American board
declined to employ him, and he deoided
to go at his own expense. He sen ted
Aintab, Turkey, as his field of labor,
and he sailed from New York with the
rest of the party. Among his fellow
missionaries was Miss Ella Bray, young
woman of twenty-three years, of great
attraction of mind and person, who for
some time had been teacher in Mount
Holyoke seminary. She was assigned to
Adana, Turkey. Intelligence comes
from Constantinople to the effect that a
mutual attachment sprang up between
DIR. Graham and Miss Bray in the course
of the voyage. The romance eliminated
IN the marriage of the couple at Con-
stantinople on the 1st inst. Both DIR.
and Mrs. Graham will go to Aintab. The
American board will now probably make
both husband and wife its missionaries.

Government Farms.

There are many queer attachments to
this great and complicated machinery of
government, says a Washington letter.
How many people know that the United
States is a landlord on large scale.
Titles to no less than eighteen farms in
South Carolina are vested in the nation.
These improved places vary in size from
40 to 500 acres. the average being about
160 acres. The7 were bid in by tax
commissioners of the United States
away back in reconstruction days, and
under the existing statutes no authority
can be found to permit their redemption
or to sell them. Congress passed an act
twelve or fifteen years ago providing for
the disposition of the income from the
farms. They are N the custody of the
internal revenue collector, who adds to
his ordinary duties of looking to the
tax on liquors and tobacco the renting
and keeping of the property. Under
special legislation to meet this case, the
rents received are invested in govern
ment bonds, and the interest on these
bonds goes to the support of schools in
the parishes of st. Helena and st. Luke,
South Carolina. Last year the farms
yielded a rental of only $527.45, and the
year before not half that. The endow-
ment fund grows. 1t now amounts TO
$47, 800 in United States as and 500 in
AIS. The income from the bonds is
about 50, 900, which is dlsbured in the
parishes by board called the South
Carolina free school commissioners.

Modern surgery has achieved great
triumph in Germany. Eleven years ago
Professor Nussbaum, of Munich, took
charge of boy so malformed aud
crippled that he was obliged to crawl
about on all fours. Nine serious opera
tions were performed, four crooked bones
were broken, three stiff joints forcibly
extended, several sinews cut through
and nerves stretched. Weights were
then attached to certain muscles, and by
means of massage baths, ointments and
electricity, so much progress was made
that in a few years the boy was able to
walk erect with the aid of crutches and
a special apparatus fastened to his feet.
Subsequently he was able to throw away
this apparatus and exchange his crutches
for cane, end to-day he is healthy,
vigorous youth, able to walk, dance and
ride on horseback.

His Choice.

See the pretty chickens root among the
bottles,
See their shining feathers, see their scarlet
wattles
All the day they're scratching in the garden
cool,
And they never, never have to go to school
Sleeping in the tree-top, down they come at
morn,
When they hear the shower of the golden
corn.
Along ON merry winglets they can lightly
skim;
But down in the duck pond they can never
swim.
SO think ia rather be "a little boy,
With double barreled pistol for a toy.

should feel 50 funny made into pie

New use for the Nose.

The old story of how Mozart made use
of his long nose when executing piece
on the piano which would have been
impossible but for this way of making
up for the want of an eleventh finger,
has often comforted people afflicted with
an olfactory organ OF unusual length.
But the full use of the nose has only
lately been discovered by community
of young Italians, who claim that by the
adroit pressure of the nostrils with
thumb and foreiinger, supplemented by
judicious breathing, the softest, sweetest
melodies can be executed, and that the

THE EGGS rHATNEVER HAroE.

There's a young man on the corner,
Filled with life and strength and hope
Looking far beyond the present,
With the whole world in his scope.
He is grasping at tomorrow,
That phantom none can catch;
To-day is lost. He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's an old man over yonder,
With worn and weary face;
With searching, anxious features,
And weak, uncertain pace.
He is living in the future,
With no desire to catch
The golden Now. He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's a world of men and women,
With their life's work yet undone,
Who are sitting. standing, moving
Beneath the same great sun;
Ever eager for the future,
But not content to'snatch
The Present They are waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
