It can not truthfuIy be denied that the Burlington Route, C., B. 6 Q. R. R., IS do@ ing an extensive business, both passenger and freight. Of the first named branch of it's service the Chicago Herdld recently said, in speaking of the occasion of the National Republican Convention: "The Burlington Road probably brought in more people than any other. Altogether it is estimated that from June Is to 19, the period of the e:.cur- sion rates, over 12,000 strangers came to Chicago over the Burlington" This was exclusive of suburban passengers and mostly in addition to it's heavy regular pass enger traffic. In receipts of live stock, the Union Stock Yards Reports show the Bur lington to be far in the lead. The average number of cars brought in by it during the first six months of the years 1886, 1857 ana 1883 is 26, LAO; and the number for the first half of the year 1888, notwithstanding the temporary depression caused by the recent great strike on it's lines, WIS 24, 425, or but little below the average. The latter figure also represents about 24 per cent. of the total number or cars, 102, 413, brought to the Yards for the last half year, being more than six per cent. in excess of the receipts by any other road.

Something New in Coffee.

When Dusenberry entered the grocery store a bright new placard caught his eye. It read Something New in Coffee" He owed the grocer one, and he saw his opportunity.
 Something New in Coffee, eh?" he said. ''Well, that's a pleasing bit of news"
 You can bet on that, MT. Dusen- berry, replied the grocer '1t's hav- ing quite run. It has the strength of Rio and the flavor Old Government Java Will you try it?"
 ''You may send me over pound of it." Dusenberry said, his little eyes twinkling. 1.-The fact is I've been looking for something new in coffee for some time. So has my wife. She's tired finding peas, chicory and such stuff in it."-Detr0H Free Press.

How Chinese Prisoners Are Flogged and
 Their Ankles Broken.

How Chinese Prisoners Are Flogged and
 Their Ankles Broken.
 We mentioned some days ago that an old prisoner who had levied black mail on new prisoner in the Che hsien's jail, and had flogged the new prisoner for refusing to pay, and also a man who was supposed to have in formed the che-hsien of these pro- ceedings. The Hupao now says that the che-hsien or magistrate, on taking his seat in court on Monday, first had the building well guarded by braves and runners, and then sent for the prisoners in his jail-there were twenty-three confined therein patches of four at a time. The first four said that they had nothing to do with the trouble which had occurred, but that the jailer in charge of the prison had induced the old prisoner and leader to demand money of the newcomer, and on his refusing had fogged him. Two more patches of four each and one of seven gave the same reply, when the remaining four, among whom was the leader, was sent for. The leader said he knew his crime had been great and he left himself fin the hands of the che-hsien. who might do what he pleased with him, and the other three men said the same. The new prisoner, who had been fogged, was then brought in and interrogated, when he stated that the lailer had on two occasions asked him to pay money, saying that he knew his family were well off, and that, on re- fusing, he was fogged by one of the prisoners. and that a friend who called on him was dragged into the prison and fiogged, and he identified the prisoner who had fogged him, who was not the leader.
 The che-hsien thereupon ordered the leader to receive 1000 blows with the rattan and 1000 with the bamboo; a second man 1000 with the bamboo and 2,000 with the rattan; third ,000 with the bamboo and the fourth 1000 with the rattan. These punishments were inflicted in the courtyard, and in addition the foot of the chief was placed on a stone, and he received thirty-three blows with an iron hammer on the ankle, and the second, who had logged the new prisoner and his friend, got fifty blows with the same hammer on the ankle. Both mems ankles were broken and the men tainted under the punishment. The other two were kept kneeling during this time. This took place between five and SIX o'clock in the aft ernoon, and it is said the men whose ankles had been thus hammered were insensible until 9 o'clock. Three of the men were placed in cages, and yesterday morning the leader, who could not walk, was carried before the magistrate, who is preparing a special cell for his detention.
 The leader is, we are informed, the same man who was put in cage in the city to be starved to death a few p9pths ago, The above punishments

America for the Poor Man.

To begin with, the humber kind of work is better paid in America than with us, the higher kind worse. The official, for instance, gets less, his office-keeper gets more. The public ways are abominably cut up by rails and blocked with horse-cars; but the in convenience is for those who use pri- vate carriages and cabs; the con- venience is for the bulk of the com munity who, but for the horse-cars, would have to walk. The ordinary railway cars are not delightful, but they are cheap, and they are better furnished, and in winter are warmer than third-class carriages in Engls 2d. Luxuries are, as 1 have said, very de,ar above all, European luxuries; but a working-man's clothing is nearly as cheap as in England, and plain food is on the whole cheaper. Even luxuries of certain kind are within a labor ing-man's easy reach. I have men, toned ice, will mention fruit also. The abundance and cheapness of fruit is great boon to people of small in comes in a.-MattheaO Arnold.

 A careful examination of the corn fields at various times has convinced Superintendent Graham, of the Kansas Agricultural College, that the burning of corn-stalks and weeds to kill the chinch-bugs is @ waste of time. The bugs do not hide in the fodder, the corn-stubs or the weeds, but do hide very close to the roots of the grass. Burning the grass does not destroy many of them, because the grass is damp near the surface of the ground, and the fire does not reach them. The question of the proper disposal of our surplus chinch-bugs seems yet to re- main an open one.

good rent for comfortable houses than

not pay them well they
can leave and go elsewhere.

business calls them. Suppose they 90?
