NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS.

Leaf Line.

ChicaKo's Great Road, the Famous Maple
Leaf Line.
The Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas City was
the first railroad in the country to issue
special transportation advertising for the
Worlds fair at Chicago. That is enterprise
and an illustration of the sort Of manage
ment that within a few wears has trans
formed the Chicago, st. Paul u Kansas
City from q short and unimportant line,
with little to encourage it's continuance, to
one of the most prominent and most popu-
lar lines in the northwest. With its termi-
nails in Chicago, Kansas City n st. Paul,

the garden spot of America. In it dwell
100000 people whom this great road &C.
commodities. The great states Of Illinois,
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas are
tapped by its lines.
The general headquarters of the road is
at st. Paul, while the freight and pas
senger departments direct their business
from Chicago. In the latter city$he com-
pany's trains arrive at n depart from the
Grand Central passenger station, COM
pleted ut the beginning of the present year.,
and acknowledged to be without a peer in
this country. The three main lines of tbs
road unite at Oelwein, in Northeastern
Iowa. Aside from these are several short
branches, all of Importance, the longest
being from sumner TO dampGOU, iowa.
The latter state is divided nearly in halves
by the road. which crosses its verv finest
portion. The mileage in Missouri, Kansas
and Minnesota is comparatively small. but
in ~Illionois again increases, the northern
and most populous part of the Prairie
state reverberating to the thunder of its
trains.
Much of the success of the road is due to
the ability and energy OF a railway man
we'll known to many in Rochester, w. II.
Busenbark, the traffic manage of the road.
In his intercourse with the patrons of the
road he has won thousands of friends for
himself and his company.
The equipment of the Chicago, st. Paul
& Kansas City ia unexcelled by that of any
road in the country. Its vestibuled COM
partmsnt sleeping cars are models of lux
ury, comfort and convenience. No other
line west of Chicago runs compartments

fully up to the requirements of the most
fastidious and lu~xury-loving of modern

1t seems probable that little imagina-
ton is very much better as a possession
than a great deal A little is, to the
daily incidents and events of life, what
salt is to meat. The relish it bestows
upon them is just as good as pleasure.
If you are in a sorry plight yea can see
help coming by its aid, though, on the
other hand, you are not tormented by
grievous relapses of Impotence and de-
spair upon the delay of the arrival OF
such help, as you would surely be If you
were as imaginative as poet. And in
like manner, when you are in the thick
of prosperity, under its gentle, judicious
suggesting you are able to look ahead,
foresee the inevitable squalls which shall
follow such a spell of fine weather, and
be prepared for them. In fact, certain
amount of Imagination is like ballast to
a ship, whereas too much acts like q
storm upon the same ship, catching 1t

Has Been to Mecca.

1 fancy that it is not generally known
that there is In this town man who has
twice made the perilous journey to
Mecca. HadJl Brown he is called in the
east, the ''Hadji' meaning pilgrim. Mr..
Brown Is an Irishman by birth and a
traveller and journalist by profession.
Heihastraveled much in Persia, Afghani-
stan and other oriental countries. He
speaks Arabic like native, and in
Turkish costume he easily passes for a
Turk. 1t was i'll this character, of
course, that he visited Mecca, for with
out some such disguise he would have
been murdered long before reaching the
sacred city. Sir Richard Burton, whose
single visit to Mecca made him famous,
would have been slain by fanatic on
the journey but for the fortunate fact
that Sir Richard was bit quicker with
his weapons than was the would be as
sassin.
Brown is taken for a Mussulman in
the east, and he says his prayers in ad-
mlrable oriental fashion. AS a matter
of fact, it is not very difficult feat to
pass as a Turk, even among Mussulmen,
for Turks are of all compilations, and
even blue eyed man who spoke the
language and wore the proper costume
would not be challenged unless he
aroused suspicion by some un-Moslem
act. Sir Richard Burton's moment of
danger came from very simple neglect
to observe custom Of the people with

The Sanitary Farmer.

Afraid of the possibility of arsenical
poisoning, he prefers the whitewashed wall
to paper Of any color. His cellar is light
and dry, no mold discernible, nor any evil
dence of vegetable or animal decomposition
and is whitewashed also. He, or rather his
wife, does not suffer the offal from the
kitchen to be thrown out of door or window,
but it is carried to the sty, which, with the
barn and manure heap, are on considerably
lower level than the house or well, fearing to
jeopardize the integrity of the water
Disliking bad smells and careful of his
well, he avoids the pit for his clubhouse and
provides stout box, properly placed, and
periodically removed and emptied of its con
tents, which is covered with dry earth pre-
viously supplied in quantity sufficient for
constant use He finds the combination a
good and economical fertilizer, and, looking
to the comfort of the females of his family,
has as an annex to his house a similar arrange
ment for them, unwilling to expose them to
the vicissitudes of the weather He is a san
itary farmer; his wife an able coadiutor;
she says soap and water are excellent disin-
fectants; that cleanliness is as good for man
as it is desirable for beastS.-Home and

The Emil DOGS nisnositinn-

The bull dog is much more easy to
tram and control than is generally sup
posed. | am convinced that he possesses
quite as much brain power as any of the
larger dogs. His appearance is very
much against his character for gentle
ness and this has caused people to shun
and avoid him, so that his disposition,
however pleasant it may have been orig
malIy has been made cross and savage
by the treatment which he has received,
though he is even now much less ferocious
than he is believed to be. Nodog is ca
pable of greater affection than he, or
shows more gratitude for any kindness.
Pure high bred dogsof any kind are hard
to train, for the reason that they are too
high spirited. The mongrels of the street
can be much more easily trained, because
they can be much more easily controlled,

With this state of things in the rural dis

his mind on this subject;
''The essential difference between bar
barlsm and civilization, according to cpl
cures, is that then men ate to live and now
they live to cat. In American cities, not
ably in New York, there are, it must be
confessed, many so called civilized beings
of this order. When they are not eating,
they are talking or thinking about it; and
their faces show what an absorbing idea
and habit it is. They may be seen any
evening at DelmOnicos, the Brunswick,
the Hoffman, or at some one of the fash
ionable clubs, intent upon the dinner they
have ordered, and enjoying with repellent
sensuality their various dishes and wines.
They are apt to have round protruding
eyes, large, coarse mouths, double chins,

midst of high civilization; for they are
consecrated to their appetites, and imper-
vious to the finer issues of life. Susanna

Not to Be Trusted.

The ignorance of some American born
citizens of foreign descent in regard to
the precise meaning Of some English
words is sometimes rather astonishing
An instance of this was met with the
other day by a reporter who had called
at the house of German on Second ave-
nue. in the ordinary course of his bust
ness. The man, who it was afterward
learned was so years old, had been born
in this city, and for at least ten years
had been in business, was not at first
inclined to be communicative. Finally
he stepped little closer to the reporter
