Cost OF Getting . Railway Bill Through
the English Parliament.
Few OF the outside public can have
any idea of the enormous cost of get.
ting a railway bill through Parliament.
The Parliamentary surveying and
engineering costs of the Kendall &
W'ndemere Company, amounted to a
trine over two per cent. on the whole
expenditure on the line. OF Parlia-
mentary cost the Brighton railway
averaged f4,8O6 per mile; Manchester
and Birmingham, f5,19O; Blackwell.
f14.414. These figures are almost
beyond belief, when we consider
that some English lines in favorable
positions cost altogether only f1O, 900
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.
The solicitors bill of the Southeast
ern railway contained 1O, 900 folios. oc-
cupying twelve months in taxation.
and amounted to E24O. 900! 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. 1899:
and in the year 1910 the measure was
defeated. after having resulted in a loss
of fi46, 600 to its unhappy promoters.
1t Is needless to say that such enor-
nous expenditure cripples many a rail-
way and prevents its shareholders
rom ever earning good dividends. The

'nce and neat diplomacy which have to

EXPENSIVE WORK.
What Gilded Domes Cost In This Countr
and Russia.

What Gilded Domes Cost In This Country
and Russia.
The dome OF the Boston State House
Is the most conspicuous object in that
interesting city, with. from some points
OF approach, the single exception of
Bunker Hill Monument. The gray
color of the latter tends in most con-
ditions Of the atmosphere to render it
imperceptible, while the gilded dome
OF the State House in gray weather is
visible by contrast and in sunshine il
sparkles and glistens so as to attract
the eye from every direction.
For some years the gliding has been
gradually disappearing, and it is now
to be regilded. An exchange gives us
the following facts: It will take 5.76O
books of gold leaf to gild the dome.
Each book contains twenty sheets of
gold leaf, each sheet containing a little
over nine and one-third square inches.
The sheets are so thin that one thou.
sand OF them laid one on the other
make but an inch in thickness. The
gold is within a carat of pure, and
weig hs three and one half pounds Troy.
Each book is worth 20 cents, SO that
the gold leaf alone cost $4,O32. It will
take fifteen skilled workmen six weeks
to do the job.
But what small and inexpensive
transaction is this compared with the |
scaie upon which such work is done in |

with gold. Its diameter is sc feet. and

FOOLISH AGREEMENT.
How According to an Old Song, Husband
Gave Himself Away

How According to an Old Song, Husband
Gave Himself Away.
In the old Scotch song entitled, 1.-THE
Barring OF the Door" we are informed
that there was a disagreement between
husband and wife as to which of the
two should attend to the duty OF lock-
ing up the house for the night. The
husband ordered the wife to do it, as
husbands use to order their wives in
those days, and she being busy refused.
Thereupon as the song says:
They made law between the twa,
They made 1t firm and sure
The one that spoke the foremost word
should rise and bar the door.
so they sat and sat in silence with
the door open. BY and by two gentle
men came along, and, entering the
house, asked whose habitation it was
and various other questions, but neither
husband nor wife would open their
mouths in reply,
For the barring o. the door.
Thereupon the gentlemen became
somewhat facetious and proposed to
have little fun with the silent couple.
One was to engage the husbands 8 at
tention while the other kissed the wife.
Thereupon the husband arose in great
Indignation and demanded if they in
tended to kissshis wife before his eyes
Then up gat the guild wife Just then
Gied three skips through the floor
"Guid man, ye spoke the foremost word
Rise up and bar the doori'
1t ocurrs to the PenciIler that the |
husband made very foolish agree
ment. No true woman cares snap |
about the first word, II the agree
ment had been on the last word, he
would have had her, sure. before the
night was over. Boston Courier.

THE REASON WHY.


BE did not seem man for deeds
Malicious or inhuman,
He ever had helping hand
For friendless man or woman;
Out In the busy working world
He wrought, each daylight hour,
And men deferred to him, as one
Whose word was law and power.
Then why, within his pretty homo,
Once tllled with joy and gladness,
Stands he with bated breath. and air
OF deep remorse and sadnessf
he has conscious look, I think,
So shy and hesitating;
He seems o very knave confessed.
And for his sentence waiting.
II storms without assailed his peace.
The hearts at home would aid him.
Now why do wife and sisters dear
With chidings stern upbraid himf
Come, let me whisper In your car.
Ill solve the question may be.
They serve their fellow mortal thus
Because he walked the baby.

That Cantanksrous Old Woman

Described in the nursery ballad. Who "lived upon
nothing bat victuAls and drink. =" and yet would never
be quiet, p" was undoubtedly troubled with chronic indi-
gestion. Her victuals, like those OF many other elderly
persons whose digestive powers have become impaired,
didn't agree with her. This was before the era of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, or some one of her numerous
friends and relatives would undoubtedly have persuaded
her to try the great specific for Dyspepsia, constipation
and biliousness. This would have been a measure Of
self protection on their part, for she would soon have
been cured and ceased to disturb them with her clAmor.
The most obstinate cases Of Indigestion, with its at

the stomach and OF the nerves, are completely overcome
