Origin of the Sandwich.

OF the millions of travellers who
have partaken of the luscious sand
wich as they travelled through life
and dined at the gorgeous railway
lunch counter, few probably know
where this hunger-annihilating vi
wand got unique name. 1t was not
from the islands in the Pacific Ocean,
as some suppose, nor from the sand
switch" is found in some OF them.
The sandwich is the invention OF
Lord Sandwich, an English aristo-
crat, who was such an inveterate
gambler that he would not leave the
gaming table, and had slices of meat
placed between slices of bread, which
he devoured during the progress OF
the games.

Remove the seeds when feeding
pumpkins to cows. They do harm by
acting as strong diuretic.
A sure and safe way to remove
grease spots from silk is to rub the
spot quickly with brown paper. The
friction will soon draw out the grease.
If you will be as pleasant and as

it rots cotton when long in it. Wash

The average farmer can not see

to pay the interest which falls due on

1t is of no advantage for an animal
to be ''small eater" In order to
produce largely the animal should con-
sumo as much food as possible, and
always have a great appetite.
Cows lying out in the pasture or
open barnyard through chilly nights
will entail a loss in diminished milk
yield of far greater amount than the
cost of keeping them under shelter at
night and during cold storms. After
the frosts come pasturage should be
supplemented by liberal rations OF
bran, ground oats. or other feed.
Never grow trees of different kinds
together until satisfied one does not in
jure the other, as is frequently the case
when plums are grown near peaches,
thus inducing the curculio to sometimes
attack the latter. A single wild-cherry
tree near an apple orchard will pro-
vide harboring place for caterpillars,
which finally iniure the apple orchard.
Those who SOW wheat after corn
should move lively or they will be too

COSTLY LEGISLATION.
Cost of Getting a Railway Bill Throug
the English Parliament.

Cost of Getting a Railway Bill Through
the English Parliament.
Few of the outside public can have
any idea of the enormous cost of get
ting railway bill through Parliament.
The Parliamentary surveying and
engineering costs of the Kendall &
Windemere Company, amounted to a
triie over two per cent. on the whole
expenditure on the line. OF Parlia-
mentary cost the Brighton railway
averaged f4,806 per mile; Manchester
and Birmingham, $3.50; Blackwell,
f14,414. These figures are almost
beyond belief, when we consider
that some English lines in favorable
positions cost altogether only 100000
per mile. The Brighton line for two
sessions fought a desperate battle
against several other companies, and
when its bill came before the commit
tee the expenses of counsel and wit
nesses amounted to over FL 900 day,
and the discussion of the measure
lasted fifty days.
1Hc oOllCilOi JILL VI VIC OOueiiOoo9r
ern railway contained 10000 folios, oc-
cupying twelve months in taxation,
and amounted to f24O,OOO! One COM
pany found such difficulty in getting
their bill through its preliminary
stages that at last, when they had
reached the long-desired last stage,
they had already spent nearly million
of money. and this simply for obtain
ing the privilege of making the rail-
way. OF the terrible costs which have
been incurred only to lead to ultimate
failure, one instance will be sufficient
The discussion upon the Stone and
Rugby bills lasted sixty-six sitting
days from February till August, 1889;
and in the year 1910 the measure was
defeated, after having resulted in loss
of f146, 900 to its unhappy promoters.
1t is needless to say that such enor-
nous expenditure cripples many rail-
way and prevents its shareholders
from ever earning good dividends. The
ceaseless energy, untiring persever-
ance and neat diplomacy which have to
be shown in pushing a railway bill to
a successful issue are almost beyond
belief; but it is much to be desired that
some means should be discovered of
keeping down the expenses which 50
often go far to ruin line even before
it has begun working.-Railcay Press

CARVING IN STONE.
The Utility of Doing 1t After 1t Is in POSI-
ton in Buildings.

The Utility of Doing 1t After 1t Is in POSI-
ton in Buildings.
A great deal of the ornamental stone
work which has been done in some OF
our best buildings in recent years has
been cut after the stone was in position.
This is common indeed in large cities.
Within a short time this process was
rare. We can remember, in 1873, that
in Boston the practice was only then
coming into general use. 1t was intro
duced by number of architects who
had studied abroad. At that time in
number of cases it was more of fad
than a necessity. as considerable stone
cutting was done in the building which
might better have been done elsewhere.
But as the general character OF the de-
sign changed, work of this kind be-
came more rational; though in some
cases, as at the present time. it was
carried to an unwarrantable extent.
The practice of stone-carving was
probably developed most fully in
France, where an extended use is made
of the soft Caen stone. There the
mouldings, as well as the more orna-
mental carved and decorated portions,
are worked out on the bnilding. 1t is
quite absurd to do this to its fullest ex-
tent in the case of granite, hard lime
stone, and even brown sandstone, as
was done to certain extent in the
East several years ago. Certain carved
and highly decorative portions can
best be done after the building has been
finished otherwise. But mere mania
for initiating foreign methods without
the exercise of reason is absurd indeed.
Some of the foreign methods of build
ing are better than ours: some OF them
are not so good. If we can only use
sense enough to discriminate we will
be fortunate. indeed. The extremes OF
patriotism, or mania for foreign imita-
tions are alike unsatisfactory. We re-
member a visit to Trinity College at
Hartford, a few years ago. They had
some very beautiful buildings after the
designs of Mr.. Burgess, the English
architect. They had this work in all
its beauty, but they had not importe
the English climate; they had the same
old New England climate, with English
windows, sashes and CRATES. We were
in a number of students rooms, and
found them cold and miserable. There
is nothing better than American win
flows for the North American climate,
particularly that of the colder portion.
The English windows are suited to the
English people and their climate. In
the matter of stone-carving there is no
need of doing it in the building merely
because somebody else does it. 1t may
be done because there Is good reason
for it. Under certain conditions the rea-
son may not exist. Mere imitation is
sign of Observation-Disclosures Builder.

was hat they had no time to devote to
the growing Of any crops hut those of
corn, wheat, grass, potatoes and the like,
excepting, perhaps, few apples and

went starving for many wholesome luxu-
rics which might have been had for an
outlay Of time and money that in the long
run would hardly have been felt. We are
great believers in the doctrine that men
