Gigantic Transportation Company.

A gigantic river transportation com
pany has been formed in Pittsburg by
wealthy capitalists, with the intention
of entering into competition with rail-
road companies for the freight business
of the West and the Lake Superior iron
trade, so far as the quantities used by
Pittsburg mills are concerned. The com
pany will put on a line of powerful
steamers and will own several barges.
At st. Louis it will cO-ope :ate with the
diamond j." line of Mississippi River
steamers plying between that city and
St, Paul. AT the latter place it is in
tended to erect large ore docks. Ore
will be brought from the ore mines over
land and loaded into barges at st. Paul
and will be brought by river to Pitts
burg. By this means, it is claimed, ore
can be brought 10 Pittsburg much
cheaper than by lake. There is less
handling than by the old route, and the
difference of time will be in favor of the
new route.
The company also expects to be able
to bring Alabama and Tennessee ore in
successful competition with other ore,
thus opening up anew supply territory
for Pittsburg. 1t expects to have trafiis
with one or two roads
west of ST. Louis, which will enable il

points. Later on it may also bid for the
of grain from the West to
the seaboard, and traffic arrangements
can be made from this point East. -Nesc

to take the field at short notice. To
support this armed horde 81, 500, 900, 600
are required annually. To this outlay
must be added three milliards of loss
caused by keeping the 5000, 900 men in
idleness and prevent their adding to the
wealth of the several countries by honest
toll. six milliards moro are also con-
sumed in the payment of interest and
the liquidation of debts contracted for
the prosecution of previous wars. Thus
we come to the conclusion that Europe
spends annually eighteen milliards of
francs, or SO, 500, 900, 600, to preserve
what has been facetiously termed an
armed neutrality" These figures are
simply startling, but they seem to be &C
curate.
The way out of this dilemma is diff
cult TO see. To add to the already in
tolerabe burdens of taxation seems i'm
possible. In Italy the taxes are not only
impoverishing the masses, but driving
them out Of the country, and the recent
increase in the duties on alcohol has
caused several important manufacturing
industries to take refuge IN Switzerland.
Russia, Austria, Turkey, Greece and
Egypt are no better off, while the re-
sources of Germany, powerful Ger

victory in the next war will not remain
with the country that can boast of the
largest population, but with the one that
has the longest purse. To put 3, 600, 600
men in the field viii cost for paw and
food alone 81, 200, 600 a day. To this
outlay must be added that for their
clothing, armament, ammunition, re-
mounts, medical service, transportation,
support of prisoners of war, losses in
battle, etc. These items cannot but
swell the expenditure to 81, 400, 600 a
day, which, after three months cam
paign, would run the grand total up to
a cool billion.-Nst0 York Press.

Hints on the Care of JeweIry

One of the leading retail jewelry es-
adjustments here has dispensed with the
regulation brass check given in ex-
change for jewelry to be repaired, and
now issues in its stead little numbered
folder, containing 'hints on the carer
jewelry." 1t starts in by giving inftr-
nation as to the proper methods-of
cleaning and keeping jewelry and pre-
cious stones, and the language used is
exceedingly simple and devoid of tech
nicality until the final paragraph is
reached. This paragraph deals with
that article Of adornment known as the
brooch. 1t reads: 'Tn using a brooch
do not make lever of the pintong,
with the joint as a fulcrum, as it will be
pretty sure to break; but push the pm
straight forward, and be sure the pin
tong has a sharp point, with long
tapering shoulder. If it has a heavy,
blunt shoulder, it will be very difficult
TO force it through the cloth, and will
be apt to bend or break" Now this

rHE HYMNS THAN MorHER suNo,

Throughout the changing scenes of life,
That Swallowed vale of smiles and tears,
Where all is lost within the mist
That hides the bygone years.
some strains there are that Iinger still,
And many hearts no longer young
Are thrilled with joy, again to hear
The hymns that mother sung.
We used to gather at the hearth
When darkness overcame the day,
And, dreamily, as children will,
We'd watch the shadows play;
And sitting by the glowing fire,
As to and fro the kettle swung,
We learned the songs we've always loved
The hymns that mother sung.
We seem to hear again her voice,
So long remembered, clear and sweet,
As when, in days of long ago,
We sat at mothers feet,
And gazing upward on the wall,
Where dearest fathers picture hung,
We thought he smiled, for he, too, loved
The hymns that mother sung.
On many snowy winter nights,
When all without was cold and drear
We've clustured close around her chair
In happiness and cheer.
No more for US the glowing fire,
No more the cricket's chirping tongue
And never more on earth Wen hear
The hymns that mother sung.
10 them we owe our happy homes,
Praise be to God who reigns above,
For keeping ever bright and clear
The lessons learned in love.
OUTLYING sorrow, bearing hope
The dear old songs have ever chung,
And never can the heart forget

A cultured and GIFTED Monarch.

A correspondent writing from Stock
holm gives an interesting description of
King Oscar II. of Sweden and Norway.
Being the third son, says the writer, he
probably never dreamed that he one day
would wear the crown of Sweden and
Norway. In the year 1872, however, he
succeeded his oldest brother, the beloved
| Charles Nv. The second brother, Gus
tav, had already been dead for many
years. On his accession to the throne
Oscar was already forty-three years old,
and was not then very popular. The
mother used to say Of her two remaining
sons, the polite, considerate Prince and
the rather reckless King Charles: "Oscar
does everything in his power to gain
popularity; Charles does all he can to
lose it, and neither seems to succeed"
Judging from the interest shown of
late in Oscar H., both at home and
abroad, it would seem that the King had
at last obtained what the Prince so long
pursued in vain. Now, at the age Of
nearly fifty, and after a reign of sixteen
years, he has become rather popular, es-
peciauy in Sweden, though less so in
Norway, and is widely praised through
out Europe as an accomplished gentle
man, a cultivated student and an able
orator.
Everybody who has ever heard the
King speak compliments his voice. style
and matter. His speech from the
thTonen resembles in no respect similar
efforts in other European capitals. When,
srrayed in snow-white ermine, red and
gold mantel over his shoulders, a golden
crown on his head andja'sceptre, glisten-
Ing with Jewels, in his hand, Oscar ap-
pears before both houses of the Legisla-
magnificent voice fills, without an effort,
the large Throne Hall and his hearers
hang delighted upon his words. l have
not had the pleasure of being present
on one of those occasions, but l am
assured that the King is no ordinary
orator.
King Oscar is more than a gifted
speaker. He is also poet, as was his
brother who preceded him on the throne.
When, in 1882, he and his Queen cele-
braced their silveT wedding, it was re-
marked that His Majesty had also been
faithful to the Mules for twenty-five
years. For it was in 1857 that the
Swedish Academy awarded its annual
prize for poetry to a collection of verse
which, when the sealed envelope con-
tanning the authors name was broken,
was found to have come from royal
pen. Among his poetical productions
are translations OF Goethe's "Tasso"
and Herder's 'Cid." The best known
of all his poems is a collection of manly
and euphonious songs about the Swedish
navy. They have gone through four
Swedish editions, two German and one
Danish All the poems of "Oscar
Frederic''-his name in literature have
been published in Germany as well as in
Sweden. King Oscar is Furthermore a
musician. His talents in this depart
ment of art we're recently very highly
praised by the renowne German critic,
Hanslick. The rapid growth of the
Swedish Academy OF Music is in a large
measure due to his activity when Crown
Prince. He was then President of the
Academy for several years.

Working Power of Nations.

The american FiRaneier says In a
very instructive paper, read recently by
Mr. NJ Mulhall, before the British As
ISOLATION, in session at Bath. England,
it was shown that in every one of the
three principal sources of power-man,
horse and stesm-the United States ex-
ceeds the leading nations of Europe
Mr.. Mulhall presented the following
table, showing the aggregate energy Of
the pricipal nations in millions Of foot
tons daily:
Countries Hand. Horse Steam. Total.
United States. IS, $50 %, 600 IS, 400 50, 40
United Kingdom {, 300 500 $500 1850
France. $500 $500 16, 80 30,340
Germany $3.50 1O,5O0 1850 81, go
In round numbers the working power
of the United States is three times as
great as that of France, two and one
half times as great as that of Germany,
one and two-thirds times as great as that
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, and equal to that of the
two greatest of the older nations COM
bined. Mr. Mulhall thinks the I'M
paralleled growth of the United States
has only begun, as he says at present the
increase of industry, energy and wealth
goes on undated. The next census in
1880 will probably show population of
&c, 900, 900, with an aggregate energy of
100, 900, 900 Of *. ons daily. and an
wealth Of $50, 900, 600, 900,
