~New York has dropped to the position
of the sixth State of the Union in the
number of miles of her railroads. Illinois
stands at the head, followed by Iowa, Kan
sas, Texas, Pennsylvania, New York and
Ohio. Kansas, with four hundred more
miles of railway than New York, is an
object lesson worthy of study.

O63 pounds of plug tobacco, and only 9o3,-
353 pounds of smoking tobacco. with the
single exception of New York, Maryland

er State. Five States-Virginia, Ken
lucky, Missouri, New Jersey and North
Carolina--made more than $1,000, 900
pounds of plug tobacco, while all the other
States made only about 100000 900 pounds.

afflicted with phtisic, also diabetes; the
pains were almost uncomfortable. and
would sometimes almost throw him into

and got relief from the first bottle. and
afteftaking six bottles was entirely cured.

individuals Who Do Not Recognize Their
Friends on the Street.
"Why don't you recognize that man?
You know him perfectly well, don't
you?" Certainly; but he has cut me
three or four times, and propose that
he shall do the recognizing hereafter. "
This isn't, by any means, an infrequent
dialogue. 1t opens up the question of
the inability of some people, even of
those who are not short-sighted, to re-
cognize other people readily. There
are men and women whom we know
and whom we can not suspect of any
prejudice against us or any disposition
to "cut' us, who ordinarily make no
sign of recognition when they meet
us. More than that, there are people
whom we know and like perfectly well,
who accuse us of cutting" them in
public.
The writer has an acquaintance
whom he occasionally meets on per-
fectly friendly terms, and who has
honorably proved his courtesy, and yet
who never recognizes him on the street.
1t is not slight. "He never recog-
nizes anybody" his friends will tell
you. And yet he has no ordinary de-
feet of vision. His case is one of a
number which seem to prove that there
is such thing as the recognizing
faculty. and that some people may be
deficient in it, such as others are de-
ficient in the musical sense or in the
power of distinguishing colors. Ones
identity has to be impressed upon such
peoples consciousness by long series
of recognitions before it can be said to
have established itself in their sense,
so devoid is that sense of accuteness.
Such people are rather to be eommiser-
ated than congratulated. They are
likely to be unjustly accused of snob-
berry or indifference, and to have to
carry a burden of unfriendly prejudice
on account of their defect. -Bu6alO

ADOPTED CHILDREN.


The love of children is so much part
of our natural instincts that it leads
many childless parents to adopt as their
own some child, the love of which they
hope shall satisfy the needs of their ma
ture in this regard. They so often do
this by mere word of mouth and the
taking home of the little one that it is
well to know that, unless the adoption
is made formally and by prescribed le-
gal steps, they are only making future
sorrow and vexation for themselves in
stead of the happiness they have antici-
pated. For at some future time, when
it may have become convenient, or de-
sirablc. the former owners or guardians
of the child may claim it and take it
away, though they should tear out the
new parents heartstrings with it. 1t is
fitting, then, in order that there shall
be no trouble by and by, that the adop-
ton of the child, when made, shall be
made according to all the forms of law.
These require the petition to the court
of both the husband and wife desiring
to adopt, accompanied by the written
consent of the chid's parents or other
guardians, or, in the absence of such
persons, of some one appointed by the
court to represent them. When this
petition has been granted, and the
adoption has been sanctioned by the
court, it can not be undone, and the
child is, to all the intents and purposes
oflaw, the child of its adopting father
and mother, and can inherit from or
through them every thing that is not
entailed upon descendants by blood.

MIZPAH.

We never used the word while thou and
Walked close together in life's working way:
There was no need for it, when hand and eye
Might meet, content and faithful, every day
But now, with anguish from stricken heart,
Mizpah 1 cry; the Lord keep watch between
Thy life and mine, that death hath riven apart
Thy life beyond the awful vail, unseen.
And my poor broken being, which must glide
Through ways familiar to us both, till death
Shall OF a surety, lead me to thy side,
Beyond the chance and change OF mortal
breath.
Mizpah yea, love, in all my bitter pain,
thrust God keepeth watch betwixt us twain.
The lips are dumb from which 1 used to hear
Strong words Of counsel, tender words OF
praise;
Poor must go my way without the cheer
And sunshine of thy presence all my days.
But God keeps watch my ways and days upon,
On all do, on all bear for thee.
My work is left me, though my mate is gone;
solemn trust hath love bequeAthed to me.
take the task thy languid hand laid down
That summer evening, for mine own alway;
And may the Giver of both cross and crown
Pronounce me faithful at our meeting day!
Mfzpahi the word gives comfort to my pain;
i know God keepeth watch betwixt us twain.
