Notwithstanding the improved me.
chanical precautions, the greater skill of
employees, and the close inspection
which corporations, in their own interest,
are bound to maintain, the frequency of
railway accidents is said to be increasing
in this country. The long series of
serious wrecks this summer is strong
evidence of the truth of this statement.
A fact which must work to that end is
the deterioration of roadoeds. One of
the disasters which occurred on Western
railroads this summer was manifestly due
to the insecure condition of the rails.
The railway authorities of the State in
which it occurred notified the officers of
the corporation that they must see to it
that the road was properly repaired. or
forfeit their franchise. The railway
company's officers replied that the road
did not pay and therefore did not
warrant them in making the expenditures
necessary to keep it in good physical
condition, which was tantamount to an
acknowledgment thut the road had not
been kept In condition fit for use. This
is no doubt an isolated case, but it is
probable that many railways constructed
in this country during the last twenty
years are getting to that where repairs
are necessary.

A VALUABLE AID.

One of the most valuable aids to the
cleanliness of lady's wardrobe is gaso-
line. 1t is used in factories where cor
sets, ready made clothing and other
such articles are manufactured, to re-
move the stains of grease and machinery,
and is found more effectual than any,
thing that has been tried.
How often in looking through her
wardrobe, spring and fall, lady will
find some article too good to discard that
has been discolored. A dress waist that
is marred about the collar and sleeves by
the moisture of the skin, soft wooden
shawl that is dust-stained, or travel
soiled, nice pair of silk or kid gloves
that are 'too black to wear" All these
things may be cleansed with gasoline.
Put the articles in the fluid, rub softly,
if much soiled change the fluid once,
shake, and hang up to dry. They viii
come out as good as new. Ribbons,
ruches, almost every conceivable article
of a lady's wardrobe may be treated in
the same way.
The odor is pungent, but it passes OF
more rapidly than that of any other
cleansing fluid. 1t has temporary un-
pleasant effect on the hands and fingers
of those that use it, but this is quickly
relieved by the application of vaseline.
One lady who tried it described the
effect on her fnger-tips to be like the
pricking of needles, but she said this
only lasted about five minutes, even
though she did not use yaseline.-

The London Financial Times places
the European wheat crop at LOGS, ,000,-
900 bushels this year, decrease of $685.
OOO,0O bushels from 1890. 1t esti-
mates the net decrease in the wheat crop
of the world at 7s, 600, 900 bushels. The
net requirements of importing countries
are put at 467, 900, 900 and the surplus
of exporting countries at 800, 900, 900
bushels. 1t concludes that the deficit in
wheat, as we'll as the larger deficit in the
rye crop, must be made up by imports of
corn and provisions from America.

The following sentence from a let,

The following sentence from letter
from one of our friends in West Africa,
remarks the New York Obseroer, shows
how some of our missionaries live: 81
think it would greatly add to our lives
and strength to have fresh meat once
in two months instead of once in two
years, as has been about the average
since we came to Africa" This state
ment was made in view of the fact that
there is now better prospect of securing
supply of animal food at Kamondongo.
Such provision is most desirable, and
we are happy to learn that it can prob
ably be met.

To wash embroidery, whether of silk

Charles 81. Moore, prominent lum-

plates, it is said, the shipping of a huge
raft of logs from Galveston to London.
He thinks there is less risk in this trip
than in shipping from st. Johns, New
Brunswick, to New York. Old sea cap
tains assure him that his plan is entirely
feasible. 1t is proposed to build the raft
in three sections, firmly lashed and
spiked together. It will be composed
of yellow pine for building purposes.

content that pervades Europe, observes

The underground system of electric
railways in London will be initiated in
Paris, and probably in New York. This
system, maintains the Boston Transcript,
solves the problem of rapid transit. The
cost of running is only seven cents a
mile. BY new process the tunueling
can be cone very cheaply. It is pre-
dicted that underground railways will
become practicable in cities of hundred
thousand inhabitants.

suggestion is the most stupendous, thinks

would be possible to hear sounds from

deal of trouble, adds the Star, merely for
the sake of hearing loud noise.

1t has become q custom which all
thoughtful persons always observe, to
place the stamp on the upper right-hand
corner of the envelope. but few people
have ever stopped to think what was
the reason for this choice Of position.
The ~canceling stamp and the postmark-
ing stamp r fastened side by side upon
the same handle, and If the stamp is
correctly placed n blow makes both
impressions. II, however, the stamp is
on the lower right-hand corner the post
mark falls ON the address, and both are
illegible, Will, if the stamp is On the
left-hand side, the postmark, which is
always at the left of the canceleE. does
not strike the envelope at all, and a
second blow is necessary to secure it
So, If the stamp is any where except in
the upper right-hxnd corner, it makes
just twice as much work for the clerk,
and this, where he is stamping many
