An Enterprising AustraIasian Woman.

Sometimes our consular reports are
far from being drily statistical. That
of Consul Griffin, stationed at Sidney,
New South Wales, is brilliant illustra-
ton. He tells most interes ting story
about Mrs. Emma E. Forsythe, daugh-
ter of Mr.. Jonas M. Coe, formerly con-
sui at Apia, Samoa, and his wife, who
was the daughter of Samoan chieftain,
owns plantation of 100, 900 acres,
employs fifty Europeans and several
hundred natives, owns several steamers
and is building Others, and conducts
business larger than the combined bust
ness of all the civilized residents of the
Island of New Britain. Mrs. Forsythe
is now sc years of age. She received
her education at Sidney and San
Francisco. This thoroughly American
lady, after her husbands death in 1872,
lived some time in San Francisco and
then joined her fathers family at Apia,
and was of large assistance to Consul
Griffin, when he was in Samoa. She
removed to the island of New Britain
in 1879, and then bought large tracts of
land, and went into partnership
with Mr.. Farrell, in large business
enterprises, One of these plan tations in
cludes IA, 500 acres of choice lands, on
which large quantities of cotton are
raised. Mail and EspreSs.

Brass Tubes for Chimes.

The discovery that brass tubes, when
properly annealel, have resonant quail
ties far superior to bells of the same
comparative weight and cost is being
utilized in Germany, where tubes are
being used for chimes in church towers.
1t is stated that tube three inches in
diameter outside, and one half inch
thick, twelve feet long, can easily be
heard distance of one mie, and under
favorable circumstances two or three
miles. In Providence, r. l., these
tubes are now being used for chimes,
which are rung by the clock movement
at regular intervals.

The Earliest Standing Army.

The earliest standing army in Europe
was that of Macedonia, established about
1853 B. G. by Philip, father of Alexan-
der the Great. 1t was the second in the
world S history, having been preceded
only by that of Soso iris Pharaoh of
Egypt, who organized a military caste
about 1900 B. G. OF modern standing
armies that formed by the Turkish
Janissaries was first, being fully organ
lied in 1862. 1t was century later
that the standing army of France, the
earliest in western Europe, was estab-
lished by Charles VII Rivalry there
upon compelled the nations to adopt
similar means of defence. In England
standing army proper was first estab-
lished by Cromwell, but was disbanded
under Charles II. with the exception of
a few regiments called the Life Guard,
or Household Brigade.

up the arbor OF booth and hence for the
building of the arbOr for this world
we must have stout branches Of thick trees.
And so it is in the Gospel arbor. Blessed be
God that we have q brawny Christianity,
not one easily upset. The storms of life will
come upon us, and VIC want strong doctrine;
not only love, but justice; not only invita-
ton by warning. 1t is mighty Gospel; it is
an omnipotent Gospel There are the stout
branches of thick trees. / remem-
Der what Mr.. Finney said in a
school house In this State The village
was so bad it was called Sodom, and it was
said 10 have only one good man in all the vii
lage, and he was called Lott and Mr.. Finney,
preaching, described the destruction Of
Sodom, and the preacher declared that God
would rain destruction upon His hearers uu-
less they, too, repentod. And the people in
the school-house sat and ground their teeth I'm
anger, ana cnncned their fists in Indignation:
but before he was through with his sermon
they got down on their knees and cried for
mercy while mercy could be found Oh, it is q
mighty Gospel; not only an invitation, but
warning; an omnipotent truth, stout
branches of thick trees. Well my friends
what I have shown you here is the olive
branch Of peace, here is the pine branch of
evergreen gospel consolation, here the palm
tree branch of usefulness and victory, and
here are the stout branches of thick trees

fowler to the mountains to catch
pigeons; and we made our booth, and we sat
in that booth, and watched for the pigeons

after a while they dropped into the net and
we were successful. So 1 come now to the
door of this gospel booth and Hook out. | see

Oh, that they might come like clouds and as
doves to the window. Come into the booth

The city of Leroy, Kansas, which is quite a

Though there is occasionally liquor user
who appearst to enjoy good health and goes on

harmlessness of war.

Skull Development.

BY comparing modern skulls with those
of the same race in an old monastery in
the Kedron Valley, Dr. Digit, the Ameri-
can College of Beirut, Syria, has shown
that thirteen centuries have added two
inches to the circumference and three
and half cubic inches to the capacity Of
the Caucasian skull The brain has de-
veloped in the parts presiding over the
moral and intellectual functions, growing
higher and longer, without increase Of
the lower portions, which give breadth
to the head, and in which the selfish pro-
pensities are centred.

In observations on eighty-two male

Gradenigo, of Turin, has found them
more liable to ear diseases than law

ARE THERE TOO MANY RAILROADS

Tuesday, Jan. 1O-p m
aThcrc are too many railroads for the business"
So say those who pretend 10 believe that the
traffic OF the country has stood still for two years
while railroad mileage has largely increased. 10
is undoubtedly true now as IL has been before, that
some OF our larger railway companies during the
last two years have built extensions into new
territory that yet does not return earnings per
mile equal 20 the older portions of the roads.
That was n fact that was well known when the
extensions were first contemplated. The additions
have been made By companies which
were well able 10 wait tho populating OF the
country which the extensions made available. EX-
ccpt for the unreasonable and wicked sacriiice OF
traffic in 1888, we never would have heard OF the
" too many railroads. The annual report OF the
New-YorlS State Railroad Commissioners shows
that the mile tonnage OF the railroads in the
] 8S7, and That the mile passenger traffic was
04 per cent greater. And so 10 is
with every report which comes in; there was no
lack of business. Equipments were fully en-
ployed and were insufficient TO meet the demands
Rates reduced without reason, did the business
with net earnings. Is no one responsible? 10
was not in SSS a question OF business but or man
a gement Management did sacrifice net earnings
H. will not, IL dlro not, do 10 in 1sS9 or 1890.
The reformation has come TO stay, because II
was q forced reform.
To-day's stock market was roactionary in its
tendencies. At the opening London and home
buyer, gave higher quotetion but there were
liberal realizations by local bulls' which con-
tinued during the day. The local sentiment
a reaction after the last three days advances,
and worked together 10 effect IL. Yet the offer
ings were well absorbed and the yielding I'm
prices is measured by small fractions. So far as
speculation on the bul' side is concerned, it
is limited; 10 is not aggressive nor even active.
The public which, with Europe, has been taking
stocks away during the last year does not make
itself felt in the daily dealings. SO every day
after commission orders have been executed the
market drifts back into traders hands, and for
the last two or three hours il is the traders
who make the prices. The market closed quiet
and strong.
