A NOVEL RAILROAD.
The Trains Hauled by Horses Instead of
Engines.

The Trains Hauled by Horses Instead Of
Engines.
The Southern Maryland railroad,
whose engines were burned some
months ago, which has since suspended
operations, has again resumed. The re-
sumption is only partial, however, says
the Baltimore Sun, and the method of
operation is unique and primitive
Horse power is now used instead Of
steam in transporting freight over the
line of the Southern Maryland from
Hughesville in Charles County to
Brandywine in Prince Georges County,
about nine miles.
AT the latter place connection is made
with the Baltimore & Potomac road,
and the freight that once reaches
there can be transported without diff
Guilty to any part of the country. To
Mr.. George l. Chappelear, merchant
at Hughesville, is due the credit of
adopting the system now in vogue on the
road. Mr.. Chappelear is engineer, con-
ductor, fireman, brakeman, baggage
master, section hand, station agent
and furnishes a part of the motive
power of the rejuvenated road.
Mr. Chappelears method is as follows:
He has procured two single trees; which
are attached one to each side of the car.
A horse is hitched to one of these, and
using the sides of the track as tow
path they are urged on by the lusty
voice and strong cowhide whip of the
conductor to pull the freight he has col
lected, The horses objected little TO
tho work at first but it is said that Mr..
Chappelear has broken them to make
the trip without much coaxing. On the
line OF road traversed there Is high
trestle work about eighty feet long
This at first was a puzzler to the enter
prising merchant, for his horses could
not walk the cross-ties.
He overcome the difficulty, however, by
unhitching the animals and leading them
ever on the ground beneath the trestle
After securing them he returned. and
with strong crowbar pried the car ovel
the bridge. After this the horses were
rehitched and all went smoothly and
| gayly on their way.
1t is said that Mr.. Chappelear hal
taken the contract to haul forty-twt
hundred cases Of canned goods from
Hughesville to Brandywine. He car
! carry load Of several tons and car
make the round trip in about eigh
hours.

THE ARMIES OF EUROPE.

EXCESSIVE ugliness is disqualified
ton for service in the French army.
THERE are now 1000, 900 men in Eu-
rope ready to be called into the field.
GERMANY boasts the healthiest army
in Europe, Belgium is second best, and
England comes in third.
THE latest returns are said to show
that $4,000 out of $4,000 men in the En-
glish home army are under twenty-one
years of age.
THE Imperial German marine staff
for 1s9l-92 will require the enlistment
of 400 men annually against 300 as here
tofore. The usual yearly increase of
fifteen officers will be omitted
THE new law of France which COM
pels theological students to serve in the
army has been put in force. A batch of
eighty-seven young seminarists of the
Order of st. Lazarus recently left Paris
to serve as soldiers.
EMPEROR WILLIAM has just got in his
Potsdam Guards man that would have
rejoiced the heart of old Frederick
William l., the lover and kidnapper of
big soldiers. Up to November Captain
Won Pluskow was the biggest man in
the army. He measured just six feet
and nine inches. A volunteer recruit of
seven feet and five inches has retired
him to second place.
The activity of Russia's preparations
for the coming war increases. The latest
measure that has set her Western neigh
bors in new war fright is the abolition
Of the seven great military divis-
ions of the Russian army in Europe and
the introduction of three commands
the Army of the North, the Army of the
South, and the Army Of the West
MILITARY statistics show that more
than twenty per cent. of the young men
presenting themselves for service in the
army in the Governments on the

appointed special commission to in
quire into the causes Of the defective
state of health in that part of the EN-

THE ORIGIN OF SHAVING.
In Ancient Times 1t Was the Sign of I
Slayish Condition.

In Ancient Times 1t Was the Sign of a
SIavish Condition.
For many years before the Crimean
war the mustache in this country was
the distinguishing badge of the cavalry;
it was prohibited in the infantry, and
as for the civilian who braved public
opinion by sporting it he was looked
on either as an artist, an eccentric, or
as wishing to pass for hussar. But
shaving by regulation Qittle as it may
be suspected by those who submit to it,
has an origin more serious than mere
caprice or love Of uniformity. 1t is the
badge of service; survival of the
primitive custom of mutilating slaves
to prevent their escape, or insure their
recognition and recapture if they did
escape. The Mosaic law made the
mutilation more merciful than it prob
ably had been previously. The proper
mode of re-engaging servant is set
forth in Exodus, xxi, 6: "Then his
master shall bring him unto the judges;
he shall also bring him to the door, or
unto the doorpost; and his master shall
bore his ear through with an awl, and
he shall serve him forever"
AS manners grew milder, even this
slight mutilation was discarded, and
shaving the beard or the head was re-
sorted to for marking servants. Fierce
and long was the controversy that
ragged in these islands during the sixth
and seventh centuries, even to shedding
of blood, as to the right manner in
which priests-servants of the Lord
should shave their heads. At this dis
lance of time there seems as much to
be said for St. Columba's frontal ton
sure-from ear to ear across the brow
as for that favored at Rome, which
eventually carried the day-the coronal,
on the summit of the head.
The Roman Catholic priesthood has
not yielded to the lax practice Of the
age, and it is not many years since any
Protestant clergyman of these islands,
had he grown any thing more than the
orthodox ''mutton-chops," would have
forfeited the confidence of his entire
flock Modish young men of the pres
ent day for the most part affect the
tonsure described by Julius Cesar as pre-
vailing among the Celts of Britain when
he lrst landcd-thai is, they shave
every thing except the upper lip

CONCERNING OTHER NATIONS.

ONE-sEvENTH of the land owners in
Great Britain are women
PARIS can now be reached from Lon
don an hour sooner than Edinburgh.
OVER 5000, 900, 900, 900 envelopes are
manufactured in England annually.
PARIS is accounted the most beautiful
city in the world. 1t contains S7,426
shade trees.
THE Sutlej, large river in British
India, with descent of $4,000 feet in
1870 miles, is the fastest flowing river in
the world.
LONDON affords for the use of its
1900, 600 inhabitants only nineteen free
public and twenty-five commercial
bathing establishments.
The French are reading and writ
ing people. Parisians send each year
$4,000, 900 letters, $4,000, 900 postal cards
and IS, 1000, 900 newspapers.
VENICE has 100000 inhabitants. OF
these no less than 10000 are enrolled as
recipients of relief; that is to say, near
ly one-fourth of the population are pau

In the twenty-six years, 1861 to 1886,
the total actual number of female sui

annually about $S,e0O,OOO. The Span
ish Parliament costs $250,OOO; the Ital-

Portuguese, $3.50,
LONDON to-day is five times as large
as it was at the opening of the present
century. From 900, 900 at that time the
population grew to 100000 in 1880,
and by 1855 it had increased to $4,000
Since 1855 it has more than doubled.
WHEN the Russians took possession

STRIKES IN CHINA.
The Workmen Do Not Lose Very Much
Time.

Time.
In China, as is well-known, things are
topsy-turvy, and even workmen's strikes
are different there from those in West
ern lands. Recently, says the London
Times, a strike took place at the great
arsenal at Klangnan, where about two
thousand men are employed. 1t appears
that the custom has always been eight
hours work per day since that estab-
lishment was founded, over twenty
years ago. The new director, consider
ing this amount too little for the wages
paid, resolved to increase it to nine
hours. The workmen steadily refused.
The majority were against the innova-
tion, and the minority, who were in
considerable force, were completely in
timated. Hence, on the morning when
the new regulation was TO commence,
the steam was raised in the boilers, the
whistle sounded, and the machinery
was set in motion as usual, but not a
workman dared to pass inside the gates
to work. 1t looked at first as II this
state of things might last for months,
for both sides showed no symptoms OF
relenting. But things go by contraries
in China In the afternoon the work
men, seeing that they made no impress
sion on the directors, who could easily
stop all work for an indefinite time,
concluded that discretion was the bet
ter part of valor, and gave in. Half a
day was all the time lost, and the extra
hours work is now done as regularly as
II it has been The rule from tho first.
