And Luna's crescent is thy signet ring.

Thy fount-the crystal of thousand rills
Thou art an artist in thy grand design.

Not less the daisy, in her modest garb;

DR.. Ford. the rector of Melton. Eng
land, was an enthusiast In music and
a great humorist- He was especially
fond of Handels music. His adnira-
ton of the Messiah" was carried TO
such an excess that he never made
journey from Melton TO Leicester that
he did not sing it quite through.
His performance served as pedom-
eter, by which he coald note his
progress on the road AS soon as he
had crossed Melton bridge he began
the overture, and always found him
self In the chorus, Lift up your
headsi' when he arrived at Brooks
by's gate; and at Thanks be to GodT
the moment he got through Thomas
town toll gate As the pace of his old
horse was pretty regular he contrived
to conclude the amen chorus" al
WAYS at the cross in Belgrave gate.
Although man of undoubted piety,
his eccentricity was at times not re-
strained, even in the pulpit He had
q good opinion of his own vocal pow
ers, and once stopped his clerk who
had just set the tune, saying:
John, you have pitched il too
uxen fOiiOW uiSf shSa AsaSsAis DN6dh
the tune.
When the psalmody went to his
mind he enjoyed it, and in his parox-
ysms OF delight would assume attitudes
in the pulpit which could by no means
be deemed elegant or fitting.
Once, when preaching a charity
sermon at Melton, some gentlemen
belonging to the hunt established in
that town entered the church in their
scarlet dresses, rather late. He stopped
and cried out:
"Here they comet here come the
red coatsl They know their Chris
tan duties; there's not a man among
them that is not good for guineap
The doctor was himself performer,
had an excellent library of music, and
always took the Messiah" with him
when on his musical journeys. At
the Birmingham musical festival once,
he was sitting with his book on bis
knee, humming the music with the
performers, to the great annoyance OF
an attentive listener, who said:

The Cause of Our Railway Problem.


When legislative inducements were
made to investors for the construction
of new railroads, capitalists were
pleased to be relieved of ordinary pru-
dence in making their investments,
and upon the strength of such legisla-
ton continued to build railroads in
excess Of commercial wants, expecting
to SO adjust the traffic rates as to in
sure to them good profits; but this
was never the purpose of the shippers
or of the legislators who represented
them, for, by the construction of nu-
merous lines, they expected to arouse
a spirit of competition among the rail-
roads which would lead to cut rates
and reduced cost of service. Thus
the original laws which stimulated the
organization and construction of rail
roads polarized the interests of the in
vestors and the shippers, and made
mutually repellent forces which
should have mutually attracted. Each
was deluded by false hopes, for
neither considered the rights or inter
ests of the other, and all subsequent
legislation which has aimed to pre-
serve the benefits of unwise and pre-
mature railroad construction to the
public has shifted all the evils and con-
sequent losses upon the railroad COM
panies, while the efforts of railway
companies to avoid all competition
by a division of revenues would
throw the entire burden of support
ing useless roads upon the public; and
it IS this unbalanced condition of af-
fairs which has led to aggressions upon
the part of railroads, adverse verdicts
by juries, and hostile legislation by
the states, all of which are in the ma
ture of reactions due to the disturbance
caused by the original laws.-Benj.
Reece in Popular Science Monthly.
