10, mat ooIn are merely
the food by the consumption of which
the germ is developed.
But that is only very minor in
stance. Ny slight knowledge of patho-
logical anatomy, amounting to the mer-
est smattering. is source of continual
distress to me. Though an abstemious
man. on the whole, cannot indulge in a
glass of any alcoholic beverage without
realizing that l am subjecting my sys-
tenn to the action of heart stimulant
which accelerates the pulsations of that
organ injurlously. The slightest sensa-
ton of any sort about my chest causes
me to imagine, despite myself, that the
tubercular bacili are beginning to get
in their deadly work upon my pulmona-
~ system.
PRESUMABLY it is only trifing inter
costa rheumatism, but I am none the
less uneasy. A similar feeling in the
small of NY back makes me think of
Bright's disease. Surprising that I swal-
low an orange seed by accident, it oc-
ours to me at once that there is a chance
for its getting into a certain useless sac
attached to the stomach, where, if it
does, it will occasion Inflammation that
is necessarily fatal before long. I know
that my intestines are prey to certain
vermiculOr parasites, as are those of
every one else; but they do not occasion
me so much annoyance as the possibili-
ty, always existing, that painful concre-
lions of lime may be forming in my
bladder or my liver.
GA superficial knowledge of physiology
takes much of the poetry out of exist
ence and removes a large part of the
gliding from the sublunary gingerbread,
as one might say. Having acquired it,
a NAL realizes rather painfully that he
is largely an elevated animal after all,
though hitherto he has imagined himself
chiefly mind.
''Supposing that ones partner in the
german is a thin girl, he cannot help
figuring her out as an articulated skele-
ton and setting an estimated price upon
her as preparation in that guise. This
does not apply. however, when she is an
acknowledged heiress.
Inauguration is always opposed to
facts, and by as much as the latter are
calculated to dispel agreeable illusions;
they are destructive of happiness. There
fore I am inclined to think that however
desirable knowledge may be respecting
things with which one has no personal
and intimate concern, it is most com
Portable to know a very little about ones
self and ones environment. Drink deep

Beneath the mystic winding stream
The Rhinemaids warded well the cola;
And, like dim voices in dream,
Their song thrilling legend told.
He who melds ring from this
Shall rule the earth and air above
But first he must renounce the bliss
And wondrous joy of woman's love-
So ran the old delusive lay
That set mans heart and brain at strife
But Love proclaimed better way.
For he is lord of human life.
First win ths woman's priceless grAca,
Then weld the ring of virgin gold:
Upon her hand the circlet place;
Then love is power, and both you hold.

The Vanderbilt System and Its Managers

The Vanderbilt System and It's Managers.
More than 1000 miles Of railroad are
absolutely controlled and operated by
the Vanderbilt family. The roads which
are advertised as the Vanderbilt sys-
tenn are the New York Central and
Hudson River, the Michigan Central,
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern,
the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and
St. Louis, the West Shore, and the New
York, Chicago and st. Louis. These six
roads with their leased lines and the
Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg,
which has been purchased by the Van
derbilts, have 1900 miles of line and
represent a capital stock of more than
$3.50, 200, 900. Their bonded indebted
ness will aggregate nearly $500, 100000.
These roads are under the absolute con-
troll and personal direction Of Cornelius
Vanderbilt. AS his principal aids in
managing this property Cornelius Van
derbilt has surrounded himself with four
brainy men. They are Chauncey NJ.

his pocket, then he stepped quickly to the

He took off the halter, let the horse 90

The coal trade is improving, and the
indications point to an active market,
beginning to-day, which, it is believed,
will continue until the middle of Novem-
ber, or later if the condition of the
weather is favorable. We are informed
that operators who have kept their
collieries idle for months past because of
the inactivity of the anthracite trade and
low prices for coal are about to resume
operations, the present and prospective
prices and the orders for coal already
booked enabling them to resume mining
without loss. Coke Bros. & Co. have
notified their sales agents to advance
prices to the following figures: Egg
1926 per ton, stove $3.50 and chestnut
1925. There was a conference of the
Lehigh and Schuylkill mining interests
last week to consider the question of
advancing prices, and another meeting
will be held this week, when the matter
will be settled. An advance of at least
Is cents per ton will probably be order
ed.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
September 10, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was $50, ,67S tons,
compared with 795, ,939 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
"a, ,749 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was 27,05S, ,225 tons, compared with a.
243, ,O72 tons for the same period last year,
an increase of 2,Sl5, 153 tons.-Ledger.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-10-01

A special meeting of the council was
held Friday evening for the purpose of
receiving proposals for sewering portions
of Walnut, Chestnut and Centre Streets.
Only one bid was presented and the
matter was laid over until the regular
meeting to be held on Monday evening
next. A communication from the
National Sewer Pipe Co., of Akron, Ohio,
was read, stating that they could not
supply the pipe at the prices they offer
ed, unless a contract was made to give
them the order for the whole town. 1t
was decided to notify them to not ship
the pipe, and committee was appointed
to visit the Wyoming Pipe Works, at
Wyoming, this county, and order sup
ply for two sections of sewers. The
committee carried out their instructions
on Monday. Notice being given that
one of the bondsmen of Contractor
Gallagher was defective and that the
contract was not yet signed, the secre-
tary was instructed to notify Mr.. Gala
CHER to procure another and sign the
contract or discontinue work. Since the
meeting Condy o. Boyle has become Mr..
Gallagher's bondsman in place of Peter
Carr. The contract has been signed and
work will go on as usual.
