OVERRIDING the Thing.

The Chicago Railway Age is respon-
eible for the statement that since tho
first Of january Cos new lines Of rail-
road, with an aggregate contemplated
mileage OF 53,43G miles, have been
projected, 1873 miles are under con-
struction or contract, 9,Gl7 are sur

that paper says, is equivalent to al
most one-thfrd the mileage Of the
country. II the business Of projecting,
incorporating and building continues
in the same ratio, before 1889 Is done

The Congrerntion NmfIed.

A story that goes back to The meetin'
house in WFentham is one of a worthy
man named Habbakuk P, resident
of the town, and a faithful attendant up
on worship, who had been blessed with
four wives, one after another. Habba-
kuk was rigidiy orthodox, as his name
seemed to demand, and was always in
his pew on the Sabbath. He sat there
in his conspicuous pew with No. 4 by
his side, on the first Sunday after their
marriage. 1t was balmy June day,
and the zephyrs from the open window
toyed playfully with the brides white
satin bonnet ribbons and the groOm's
sllken locks. There was stranger in
the pulpit who had exchanged for the
day with the venerable Dir. f., the
pastor of the church. After reading a
few Scripture passages the stranger
proceeded to read a notice which be had
found in the Bible, and which was as
follows:
"slr. Habbakuk P desires the
PRAYERS Of the congregation that the
death of his wife may be sanctified to
him for his spiritual good"
Then, when the congregation was be-
| tween sLnpefaction and explosion, the
| clergyman went on with the services at
| a rapid rate. He was at loss to know
why the congregation seemed to be
| throughout the remainder of the
service on the point of laughter, but at
dinner Mrs F., the pastors wife. ex-
planned to him that Habbakuk P
I sat three rows from the front in the
broad aisle with his bran new wife. and
he had read an old notice that Mfr. F
had probably been using for a book
mark ever since the death of wife No. 3.
