MILEAGE For 1890

The new contest of railroad events being
prepared by the Union Pacific system
shows the total mileage of track laid on new
railroads in the United States for the
present year up to May / at ,OS4 miles The
extent Of the new mileage is attributed to
the favorable condition of the spring and
late winter 10 railroad construction. The
estimate is made that 5000 miles will be
laid during the year This is 500 miles IN
excess of the trackage of 1884
The railroad growth this year has been
confined almost exclusively to the southern
states, Georgia leading with 170 miles OF
new road.

A Good Thing to Keep at Hand.
FROM THE TROY (KAN.,) CHIEF.

We have occasion to use but little of the
numerous medicines advertised in our
paper; but we have found one to fill the
bill of what is claimed for it, and take
pleasure in saying so. That is Chamber
lain's collie, cholera and diarrhea remedy.
Some years ago, we We're very much sub
iect to severe spells of cholera morbus; and
now when we feel any of the symptoms
that usually precede that ailment, such as
sickness iat the stomach, diarrhea, etc.,
we become scary. We have found Cham
berlain's remedy the very thing to
straighten one out in such cases, and al
ways keep it about. 1t is somewhat similar
to the usual cholera cures, but seems to
contain ingredients that render it more
pleasant to take, and that do their work
more quickly. Sheriff DeYereaux tells US
that he is subject to cholera morbus, and

Helping a Sparrow Tn.

In University place the other day, a

able to fly from having d:ubed it's wings

warming his back in the autumn sun,

a very ragged handkerchief from his

ARNOLD AND STANLEY.
The Great Explorers Indebtedness to tn
Poet for Helm.

The Great Explorers Indebtedness to the
Poet for Help.
Sir Edwin Arnold is not only the great
authority on India and midas religions;
he has always been deeply devoted to
geographical science, and it was really
owing to his support and efforts that
Stanley was enabled to make his great
journey across the Dark Continent and
to discover the source of the Congo.
After Stanley returned from his news
paper expedition in Africa, where he
had succeeded in discovering Living
stone, he was for a time kind of white
elephant on the newspaper proprietor's
hands, and it seemed for time as if he
would have to be sent to the city de-
partment for duty. While writing his
books in London, however, he made the
acquaintance of Edwin Arnold, then the
leading editorial writer of the Daily
Telegraph. To him Stanley mentioned
his poor prospects on the New York
paper for which he had made his first
journey, and expressed the hope of be-
ing able to pursue his explorations in
Africa. The two men then discussed
African problems earnestly together,
and the result was that Edwin Arnold
spoke to Levi Lawson, proprietor OF the
Daily Telegraph, urging him to take up
Stanley and support him on another
journey of African exploration. the aim
of which was to follow the course OF the
Lualaba across the continent from the
Indian ocean to the Atlantic
Levi Lawson was willing to enter into
Mr.. Arnold's plans for Stanley, but
feared the expense would be too great.
He therefore caused telegram to be
sent to New York, asking ne wspaper
proprietor there if he would share in the
expense of such journey OF explora-
ton. The answer was in the affirma-
tive. Stanley was enabled to make the
greatest geographical discovery OF the
century But it should be placed on
record here that, only for Arnold, Stan
ley never would have had the oppor-
tunity of tracing the Congo, and the in
terror of Africa would, in all probable
ity, to-day be blank space on our maps.

How Turkish Harems Are Filled.

! The polygamous Turkish Beys and
Agas, whose hitherto regular supply of
Circassian girls from the Caucasus has
been cut off from them since the annex
alton of the province by Russia, nave re-
course now to bold system of capture.
They swoOp down on an Armenian viii
lage, with their armed acoytes, and carry
off to their harems, by main force,
as many good looking girls and women as
they can lay hands on. This is per-
mitted to them; and the modus operandi
by which the abduction of Armenian
girls is rendered legal by the Moslem
judges may be summed up as follows:
When the relatives present themselves
in court to claim the abducted victim.
the captors are ready with a brace of
Moslem witnesses lone hundred could
be produced if wanted), who declare on
oath that the kidnapped woman pro-
nounced in their presence the regular
formula of the Moslem faith: 'sThere is
40 God but God, and Mohammed is his
prophet" The Judge thereupon dis
misses the case on the ground that the
stolen and captured girl has by that pro-
fessiOn abjured her former faith and
embraced Mohammedanism. And the
verdict of these upright judges is not to
be set aSide.-New Review.

A Napoleon in His Way,

A well-known mad doctor has just
died at Vienna. He had a large prac-
tice, great reputation, and a curious,
indeed unique, experience. Napoleon
was the great king-maker of the cent
ury. Prof. Leedesdorff was the great
king-dethroner. No other medical man
has had so large an experience. When
in 1876 Sultan MOurad V. was to be de-
posed and Abdul Aziz set up on the
throne the professor was sent for to
Constantinople, examined his royal pa
tient, and promptly declared him mad.
There was no appeal from that decision.
Later on, when Louis II. of Bavaria
was getting unusually eccentric,
his ministers did not dare
take any steps. They sent to
Vienna for the professor, who seems to
have had no difficulty in pronouncing
him mad, and the members felt their
responsibility at an end. Sometimes he
would be sent for to Petersburg. The
Romanoff family had failings. And the
professor had to give his verdict. On
all these occasions he got great fees. 1t
was easy work. No doctor, not even a
mad doctor, could doubt the insanity of
the patients.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Man Is Composed of Air.

The following is from ,Justus Liebig,
the greatest chemist of the nineteenth
century: Science has demonstra ted
that man. the being which performs the
greatest wonders, is formed of con-
densed air, or solidified and liquefied
gases; that he lives on condensed as
we'll as on uncondensed air, and by
means of the same agent, moves the
heaviest weights with the velocity of
the wind. But the strangest part of the
matter is that thousands of these taber-
nacles formed of condensed air are go
ing on two legs, destroying other forms
of condensed air which they may need
for food or clothing, or on account of
their power, destroying each other in
pitched battles. by means of the same
materials of which they are composed.
Chemistry supplies the clearest proof
that, so far as concerns this, the ulti-
mate and most minute composition
and structure, which is beyond the
reach of our senses, man is, to all
appearances, identical with the OK. or
even with the animals lowest in the
scale of creation"

edges are raised. "This bacterion can
be readily cultivated on gelatine that

SMOKELESS POWDER.
The Subject Discussed by General Bene
Chief of Ordnance

The Subject Discussed by General Benet,
Chief of Ordnance.
The subject of smokeless powder for
military uses occupies considerable
space in the annual report of Brigadier-
General Benet, Chief of Ordnance, to the
Secretary of War. He says:
lin the absence of suitable small
arms powder there has been no sub
stantial pr ogress in the matter of a
small-caliber rifle beyond what has been
heretofore reported, except in the mega
tive gain resulting in the apparent
abandonment, or tendency that way,
abroad of all powders but the so-called
smokeless. This change, involving the
return to a grained powder, is, if per-
manent, an appreciable gain for all in
economy and efficiency of the product in
the manufacture of small-arm cart
ridges, and may have been brought
about as much from the difficulty of OBJ
tanning uniform and satisfactory results
in the way of velocities and pressures
with the compressed powders as from
the more valuable properties of the
smokeless. No American has yet SUBJ
mitted for trial smokeless powder, and
experiment with compressed powders
has shown the same eccentricity as de-
veloped abroad tending to destroy conf
dence in the final production of serv-
iceable compressed powder-cartridge
All effort, official or otherwise, to date
to obtain smokeless powder has been
abOrtive, and American powder-makers
and chemists have not yet awakened to
the lucrative opportunity presented to
them. There is reason to believe,
from an application made to an officer
of the (Ordinance) department more
than ten years ago. that smokeless pow
ders originated like many other inven-
tions, in America, only to be brought to
the attention of the world in foreign
countries, although in this instance the
person concerned met with encourage
ment, of which he did not avail himself.
SIN view of the present status of the
powder question, it is not deemed ex-
pedient to produce small caliber rifle
for powder cartridges. Such
a rifle, however excellent in itself, would
be inferior to foreign arms using smoke
less powder, and consequently unsatis-
factory to the army and the country at
large. 1t is believed, however, that all
the elements entering into the problem,
except the powder, are ready for use the
moment this powder is obtained.
"A 30-caliber rod-bayonet Springfield
rifle has been made, and a od-bayonet,
30-caliber magazine arm is now in prog
of In ns ~f
the final acquisition of the much-needed
powder, so that no time may be lost in
presenting for trial both single-loading
and magazine small-caliber rifles."-

The Bangor Historical Magazine gives
an interesting account of the life of the
Rev. Jonathan Fisher, pastor at Blue

cessfully overcame obstacles that might
well discourage any one. In his youth,
while teaching at Dedham at 50 per
month, he continued his studies and
helped out his salary by making bird
cages. Later, when preaching at a
salary of 5000 a year in money and GER
tain wood, etc., in all amounting to not
more than $500, he brought up family
of seven children, sent his daughter to
boarding school, gave one son, Josiah
Fisher, of Princeton, n. j., a liberal
education, and saved money enough to
pay the debt contracted while getting
his own education. He invented a
shorthand in which he wrote his SER
mons, and by using which he estimated
that during his ministerial life he saved
