Modern Railroad Ties.

It is estimated that the railroads in
this ceuatry pay $6,00o,0oo a year fot
ties. The best ties are made Of white
oak, besides this there is used in the
East chestnut, and hemlnck, and in the
South and West cherry, locust, maple
and ash. 1t requires more than 225,00C
acres OF forest to supply these ties every
year, Railroad ties ned renewing every
three years. For a new read the estimate
requirement. is 2,7o0 ties per mile. About
800 ties por mile are needed for repairs
every year. !
Stonne, iron, paper, and even glass
have been used in making railroad ties
with the hope that they could be prac
tically adopted as a matter OF economy
IN that department Of the expenses d
railroads. H.,
The annual clearing off Of a quarter 81
4 million acres of timber, to supply rail
roads with ties alone, is something that
should direct tho attention of those who
are interested in the important question
|pf protection of forests to find somt
practical substitute for wooden ties.
F3tne and fortune await the inventor
Who will discover such substitute.

American grain growers will be inter-
ested ia every reason set forth by English
Consumers for their preference for Indian
wheat to American wheat. One of these
reasons is furnished bya prominent
shipper ia New York City, whose
Europeon corresponding, inform him
that the English millers are favorable to
Indian wheat principally because they
can, while grinding, inject from fifteen
to twenty per cent of water in the flour.
In thissway the millers can sell water,
which costs them nothing, at the price
of wheat -four, reapins ,an enormous
profit from the dishonest: admixture.
The wheat from Egypt, of1which a good
deal Of nonsense has recently been
talked, is Of the same Apohgy, fbrous
nature As the Indian wheat, and it also
offers inducements to this sort Of disre-
putable mixing. The Liverpool wash.
ers actually take the Egyptian wheat
and clean it free Of expenseto to the owners
for the extra weight acquired through
the absorption Of water. The English
milling Journals have always criticised
severely and Justly, though often erro-
neously through slnfprmation, the
adulterati4ns and mixings of Americsn

A Remarkable Woman.

X woman with a remarkable career has lately died in Cochin, China. She was known as Madame Dr. Ribart, and was surgeon of considerable skill, while her experience was one that no other woman ever had. Beginning as q waitress in little drinking shop of the Quartier Latin of Paris, she passed, while still very young, through the usual experiences of Parisian grisette, and became connected with medical student who frequented the shop. Ii CT instinct was irresistible No sooner did she come in contact with his books and instruments, than she fell upon them and literally devoured the knowledge they contained. She availed herself of his teaching, too, and drew from him everything he learned, so th1t by the time she had reached the age Of twenty six she presented herself for examina- tion as surgeon, and passed the ordeal brilliantly and triumphantly. She soon recognized the field that lay open be- fore her in the Egyptian harems, to which male surgeons were not admitted, and where women suffered unspeakable tormeDts for the lack of proper attend. udCOa 1AV SolAo oiC SPSCu4ly ColdOllolCu large practice, and had every prospect of doing well, but her early formed habits of dissipation had become rooted and were unconquerable. She plunged into inconceivable debaucheries. Her career of vice brought her to an Egyp- tian madhouse. After six months of this severe but sanitary regimen she re- covered her mind. She made her way out of the French colony in Cochin China. Here her talents and her beauty won her instant recognition. The old queen mother of Annam had been blind for years, and hailed with delight the prospect of relief held out to her by the French physician. Madame Ribart, howeve' died suddenly the day before the operation was to be performed. Probably no European woman ever knew so much of the inner life of the harem in the east and its dark side as this ex-grisette. Mal.
