Commissioner Fink yesterday Issued circular an-

lake freight rates from New-York to the West. The
advance was agreed upon after the New England
roads had taken similar action. The attitude Of the
latter roads has been hostile to an advance for some
time ana the New-York lines declined TO take any
action until the New England rates were put upon
basis which would protect New-York business. Tho

Why He Needed Prayer.
Traveller.

The congregation of church at
Elk Rock were much shocked upon
learning that their preacher had de-
parted under most 'discreditable cir.
cumstances. On the following Sunday
it seemed to be the aim Of nearly
everyone to hush up the scandal, and,
under great restraint, many uninter
esting conversations were held, merely
TO prove that the members OF the
church could arise above sensational
gossip. Just before the services were
closed, Brother Elijah p. Brookrod
arose and said. ..--
Brethren and sisters, since we last
met in this house something which
seems to have cast q gloom over this
congregation has occurred. We wer.
all much attached to our minister; in
fact, we loved him, and now propose
that we offer up prayer for the wan.
derer."
A sensational wave swept over the
audience. Another brother arose,
and, turning to Elijah p. Brookrod,
said: ...s g. ....-...-. :.

The Highest Waterfalls in the
World,

Iron.
According to DIR. Wertsch, the high
est waterfalls are the three Krimbs
Falls, in the Upper Prinzgau. which
have a total height of 1.148 feet.
The three falls next in height ara
found in Scandinavia-the Verne
Foss. in Romsdal (9s4feet), the Vettis
Foss, on the Sogne Fiord 1853 feet),
the Rjukan Foss, in Tae'emarken'
1904 feet). With a decrease in height
of 213 feet, the three Ve'lno Falls
1891 feet) near Zerni, the birthplace
of the historian Tacitus, follow next.
and are succeeded by the three Tossa
Falls, in the Val Formazza (54l feet).
The Gastein Falls, in the Gastein
Valley (469 feet) are midway be-
tween the Skjaggedal Foss, in tie
Hardanger Fjord 1924 feet), and the
Boring Foss, in the same ford. The
great Anio Cascade, near Tivoli 1915
feet), appears small by the side OF the
foregoing, but is still larger than the
Falls of the Elbe in the Riesensebirge,
which are only 149 feet high. If the
width of the falls is taken into con-
sideration, the most imposing are
those of the Victoria Falls of the
Zambesi, which are 1914 feet high, by
a width of 5000 feet. A long way be-
hind come the Niagara Falls, TT feet
high and 1,968 feet wide. The third
largest fall is that of the Rhine at
Schafhausen, 148 feet wide, tv only
33 feet high. The highest weterfalis
mentioned can not compare with
those gigantic falls as regards cubic
contents.

title to this grant. covering nearly one.

in dispute for a number of years be.

similar to the famous Maxwell grant

as the whole State of Connecticut.

It was brought out in q hearing be-
fore the senate committee on agri.
culture on Senator Palmer's bill to
exterminate cattle diseases . that
pleuro.pneumonia alone had already
caused loss of $50, 600. 900 to $780,
600. 900 in this country, besides q
loss Of SO to SIS on each head of
cattle exported to Great Britain.
Senator Palmer's bill provides for the
ext'rpation of contagious pleuro-
pneumonia, foot and mouth disease
and rinderpest, and is especially urged
by Western cattle-growers, who fear
that If the pestilences reach their
ranges the evils will be most difficult
of suppression.

The prohibition question is already
up in the Kentucky legislature in a very
lively way. This may surprise some
outsiders who have fancied that in
Kentucky liquor was freer than wa.
ter. As matter of fact the State
has long possessed about the stiffest
local option law existing in the coun.
try. Fully two. thirds of the coun.
ties have awaited themselves of this
option to prohibit the sale of spir.
its, wine and beer. and they have
done it SO thoroughly that it is much
easier for the intelligent bibulist to
procure q drink in the prohibition
town of Maine than it is in the local
option towns OF Kentucky.

The official report of the losses by
fire in 1887 show an aggregate OF
$13O,OOO,OOO. This is in excess of
those OF any previous year in the
history OF the country, except those
OF the great Chicago and Boston con-
f1agrations, yet since then there is
scarcely one OF our large centres of
population which has not improved

poor to pay or waste so large a SUM

Rules for Winter.

The following rules, published in
Farm and Fireside, are worth needing
by those who believe that IAN ounce
of prevention is worth . pound OF
cure"
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold. Never begin q
Journey until the breakfast hes been
eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then i'm
mediately 60 out in the cold air.
Keep the back-especially between
tho shoulder blades-weu covered; also
the chest we'll protected. In sleeping
in q cold room, establish the habit of
breathing through the nose, and never
with the mouth open.
Never 60 to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never omit regular bathing, for unless
the skin is in active condition the cold
will close the pores, and favor congestion
or other diseases.
After exercise OF any kind never ride
in an open carriage, or near the window
of car for q moment; it is dangerous
to health and even to life.
When hoarse, speak as little as posi-
bic until the hoarseness is recovered
from, else the voice may be permanent
ly lost, or difficulties of the throat be
produced.
Merely warm the back by . fire,
and never continue keeping the back
exposed to heat after it has become CON-
fortably warm. To do otherwise is de-
bilitating.
When going from warn, atmosphere
into colder one, keep the mouth closed
so that the dir may be warmed by its
passage through the nose, ere it reaches
the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather, es-
pecially after having taken slight de-
gree of exercise; and always AVOID stand
ing on ice or snow, or where the person
is exposed to o cold wind.

Last year was prosperous in the
main with corporations and finan-
cial institutions. As one result about
500, 100000 was discussed IN New
York City at the beginning OF the
year. This represents interest on the
national debt and bonds of corpora
tions, and dividends from banks, trust,
insurance, railroad and other com.
panies. A great part OF this enor-
nous sum will naturally seek REIN
vestment, and thus business in gen.
eral is stimulated and prospered.

The Art of Conversing.

The reason why so many who con-
verse are dull is our fault, not theirs ::
our bearing. because we have not learn
ed the art of patiently listening, re-
strains and embarrasses them. Wee
we more benevolent, the tongue OF the
one speaking would Olsen tangle itself
and give us many treasures OF head
and heart. Hence, in converslng, we
should never seem to feel toward the
one speaking that we are perfectly &C.
quainted with everything he is saying
or can say, that kills his glow, and we
shall shortly have for a companion O.
stick or stone. Hence, also, when
our interiors are speaking we should
never put words into their lips. Start
the mass Of men, then while the glow
and flow are upon them preserve a
dead silence, you will shortly have
poured into your ears all the best
things they know. When you have
given even an uneducated, If intelli.
gent, man tho impression that
you have become his interested
listener he will give you valuable
thoughts not found in your books
and schools. With the utmost mag
nanimity We must tolerate occasional
dullness and learn to listen for profit
if not from principle. The self denial
involved, or tho discoveries made,
will, at length, convert the hours
talk into an hour charged with the
most valuable information. "When
the man ceases not the exchange of
civilities," says the Chinese proverb,
there is nothing he may not possess"
Wise, too, is the Turkish proverb:
''Many are ignorant through want OF
knowledge how to listen" When in
doubt therefore, one will do well to
inquire the way of everybody he
meets, for at least every other man,
though humble In life. has clue or a
cross cut, or some item of information
OF which We are ignorant.-Professor
Townsend.

smoking a. q 0entleman.
From '"The Nentor," by Alfred Ayres.


There is no one thing perhaps, in which
the difference between the we'll bred
man and the ill-brcd man more appears
than in the manner in which, the place
where, and the time when they smoke.
The well-bred man does not smoke.
nor does he seem to smoke, to show off,
whereas the ill-bred man very often
smokes in self.conscious manner that
seems to say: "Look at me! sec how
skillfully my lips hold this cigar; how
I can shift:it from one side of my mouth
to the other without touching it with my
fingers, and how we'll can articulate
with it in my mouth; in short, look you
what perfect control have over my la
bal muscles, and, having seen, admired"
In short, there are many low-bred
young men-very many-that appear
to smoke only to display their-imag-
inel- grace and skill, when in fact in
smoking Is they do, where they do,
and when they do, they but publish
their vulgarity- Such men are certain
~ not of the sort that Shakespeare &C.
cuses of having "vaulting ambition. {"
As they smoke chiefly for show, poor
cigar; answers thei- purpose as we'll as
. good one; consequently, they usually
buy Of the kind that are at the rate Of
two for q cent.
The we'll bred man, on tho contrary.
the gentleman, the man that smokes on
~ for the love of it, puts but as much
of his cigar in his mouth a. is necessary
in order to draw it, keeps it in his mouth
no longer than is necessary, AMI never
fails to remove it when he talks, or pass
/ os any one toward whom he would be re-

Forty ladies are willing to swear that

her portemonnaie, containing 500, was

they saw Mrs. Dowd 60 into Macys.
The famous "bag-grabber" Is of mid

and aeked, in low tone:

Why don't you work some other

Mrs. Dowd rose and the grey eyes
glittered with anger Is she replied:
"Sir, have not the honor of your ac-

identified her. On the prisoners per-

tho number carefully scratched out. In
an ingeniously concealed pocket of her
underskirt were bills amounting to
$216. A fine breastpin which she stole
in Tiffany's some time ago glistened at

Mrs. Dowd had had the diamond re-
