wheat. He said the usual style of plow-
Ing forced the roots to the grain stalks to
run off on level instead of growing in
ward, and the effect was the exhaustion of
the soil and an ineffective nature of the
grain To illustrate his point, he said
that he had once-probably the year be-
fore-planted two other grains of corn in
little hillock of "made ground"-loose
sou that would allow the penetration of
roots TO the very bottom. When the
stalks had attained their full size, or near
1t, he took garden hose, AMI with the
stream washed away all the soil in the
little artificial mound. OF course the
least minI'e filament CT root was pre-
served IN this case, aud he said that the
extreme length of the root, which sent
OUT the longest filament of all, was a
little over feet. Ordinarily the root of
corn stalk Is not over foot. Bat Prof.
Mapes showed that with a proper allow
ance OF room, cora stalk will send out
root nearly as long as itself.

RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.

The United States and territories now
have $4,000 miles of complete railway
lines. This represents an enormous force
in the money power of the world, and one
not much smaller in physical force, CON
sidered either as to its power Of trans
portation or as 20 its army of employees.
Gen. Francis Walker, in the plentitude of
that wisdom which made the census in
many things a mass of useles rubbish,
failed to give either the number OF miles
of raiI"a y in each State or the number of
persons employed by those railways.
The omission as 80 the first fact is RENE
died by 'POor's Manua! of Railways" but
he has not given the number of regular
employees upon the various roads, an omis-
rect in his next issue. A reasonably ac-
curate estimate places the number of
men regularly employed by the railways
Of this country at an average of ten per
mile. This would indicate that about l.,
100000 men are engaged as workers in
various capacities in the vast work Of
transporting goods and passengers by
rail. OF course the average Of employees
per mile OF the great transportation lines
from the teeming West 10 the seaboard is
greater than 1t is on the minor lines.
Thus the indications are that the New
York Central and Pennsylvania employ
twenty persons per mile, while some
roa6s have less than five, The New Eng
land states have 5000 miles of railway,
with probable average of ten employees
per rnile-or 10000 in all Connecticut,
with its 900 and Messachus sits, with its
1900, have more than the New Eng
land average, the number in the first nam
ed being II GOO, and in the other about 16,-
OO0 New York, with its $500 miles Of
railway, has fully 10000 men CT gagged in
working them n W Jersey, with 1900
miles of road, has 10000 men. Ohio with
$500 miles of road must have least 10000
railway employees, and Indiana over co.
OOO The states of the far Northwest
Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota
have res pectively, {. 500, 1000, $500 and
$500 miles of railway, with q probablq
average of six employees per mile, making
the number of employees $4,000, 24000
5000 and $4,000 in these states.

A Dream OF the Past.
ears.
Lincoln Journal.

I wandered to the country, Tom; 1 sat
beside the brook; I tried to catch the
trout with line and baited hook. The
banks were just as muddy, and the cur
rent Just as slow as in the days [ used to
fish, some twenty years ago. No people
now we're with me, Tom; squatted there
alone and tried to yank out massive fish,
where there, alas! we're none. Mosquitoes
bit me just as hare and chanted just as
low as when they used to bore their wells,
some twenty years ago. And while I
tried to swipe them once, and break their
dreary song, the bank rolled down into
the creek aud carried me along. The
water was as moist, my friend, the mud
as deep below, as when [ rolled into the
creek some twenty years ago. The line
got wound around my limbs, the hook
stuck in nay eye, the pole twirled round
the same old way and hit me on the fly;
1 reeled off curses quantity then, and
naught could stop their fowl cursed as
loudly and as long as twenty years ago.
And when l started through the woods to
reach my humble home my eyes were full
OF st years leaves my ears were full Of
foam; a snake sat up and bit me. Tom,
just as that snake, you know, that left Its
trade mark on myleg some twenty years
ago. And then to the market went, as
you, of course, will guess, and having
captured meier fish, had to buy mess /;
and then those withered scrubs l bought,
I TO my wife did show, and told the same
old fairy tale of twenty years ago.

CINDER IN YOUR EYE.
A Medical Journal Tells you How to Get II

A Medical Journal Tells you How to Get 1t
Out.
Nine persons out of every ten with q
cinder or any foreign substance 10 the
eye Will instantly begin TO rub his eye
with both hands while hunting for his
handkerchief. They may, and sometimes
do, remove the offending cinder; but
more FIRE qaently they rub until the eye is
infamed, bind a handkerchief around the
head and go TO BED. This is all wrong.
The better way Is not to rub the eye
with the cinder in it at all, but rub the
other as vigorously as yo1 like. a few
years since I was riding on an engine.
The engineer threw open the front win
dow, and I caught cinder that gave me
the most excrusiating pain.
[ began TO rub the eye with both hands
LET that eye alone and rub the other"
said the engineer. I know you doctors
think you know it all, but if you will let
that eye alone and rub the other one, that
cinder viii be out IN two Minutes I
began 10 rub the other eye, and soon I
felt the cinder near the inner cauthus,
and made ready to take it out. "Let it
alone and keep at the well eye" he said,
I did so for minute longer, and looking
in small glass he gave me, found the
off snder on my cheek. Since then l have
tried it many times, and have advised
many others, l have never known 1t to
fail in one ms lance unless 1t was pointed
and cut into the bail and required an
operation TO remove it.
