RAILWAY RUMBLES.

! There is y railroad in Kansas so dilapi
dated that but one train day can be run
over it at the rate of eleven miles an hour
This is the Kansas Central, a branch of the
Union Pacific.
| In Hungary, where the railway fares
were reduced by the Zone system" from
40to 80 per cent, the receipts have increased
| 10 per cent and the number of passengers
rose from 100000 to 100000.
The limited trains Of the Erlanger sys-
tenn which runs between Cincinnati and
Florida, which are handsomely equipped,
are now lighted with the Pintsch gas of
the Safety Car Heating and Lighting COM
pany.
Lehigh Valley has leased from the New
York Central the Tonawanda branch to
Suspension Bridge. This gives the I1ehigh
Valley an independent line to Buffalo and
is part of it's scheme to make a continu-
GUS line from the lakes to tidewater.
The Jacksonville, Tampa and New West,
and Jacksonville, st. Augustine and Hal
flax River railroads have offered series of
prizes. consisting of 40 to 100 acres of
land, to the northern agents selling the
most tickets reading over their lines dur
ing the winter months.
The engines on the Central Road of New
Jersey which are making such fast time
have 6S-inch driving wheel. 10 by 24-inch
cylinder. working pressure of 100 pounds
to the square inch, weigh los, 300 pounds
without the tender, and the bearing on the
driving wheels is $500 pounds.
The Erie people are pushing the con-
struction of their block signal system on
the N. Y, P. and o. portion of the system.
Thirty-six elevated towers are being built
along the line, and the force of telegraph
operators u to be increased forty men and
two sets of train dispatchers added.
The next great improvement the Penn
s7lvania company will undertake will BE-
the doubling of their tracks west of Pitts
burg through to Chicago over the Fort
Wayne, and through to Indianapolis over
the p, c., G. and st. l. line. On both of
these lines'the traffic is entirely too heavy
to be handled on single track

PHILOSOPHICAL QUOTATIONS.

It is usually the case that the man who
Is most willing is the least able.
Almost every friend a man has hold
some sort Of mortgage on him.
You can trade your reputation for dol.
lar, but you can never trade back.
Your friend is always willing to do you
favor If you allow him to put it off until
tomorrow.
The trouble with the so called idle lies Is
that as soon as they are uttered they stop
being idle.
The older a man grows the less he is dis
posed to see how near he can skate to q
danger sign.
It is sometimes easier to prove lie than
it is to prove the truth. but you can't
prove it as long.
The trouble with most men is that they
fish in ponds all their lives with hooks
baited for whales.
Before doing wrong, remember there are
very few places in the world where man
can start all over again, and those are al
taken.-Atchison Globe.

4 PRAYER.

The eyes which pierced our inmost being
through;
That lips which pressed into a single kiss,
1t seemed a whole eternity of bliss;
That cheeks which mantled with loves rosy
hue;
That feet which wanted nothing else to do
But run upon loves errands, this and this;
That hands 80 fair they had not seemed
amiss
Reached down by angels through the drops OF
blue
That all Of these so deep In earth should lie
While season after season passeth by;
That things which are so sacred and SO sweet
The hungry roots Of tree and plant should
eat!
Oh, for one hour to see rs Thou dOst see,
My God, how great the recompense must be!

Mon Who Do Not Smoke,

There is prevalent idea that men
who abstain from tobacco indulge to ex.
cess in some other stimulant. There ID
some truth in this. Balzac, who e.
chewed tobacco as q weed that injured
the body, attacked the intellect and stu.
pefied the nations, drank great quanti-
ties Of coffee, which produced the terri
BILE nervous disease that shortened hia
life.
Goethe was q nonsmoker. So waa
Niebuhr. But the former is computed
to have drank some $4,000 bottles Of
wine during his lifetime, and the latter
took . tremendous quantity Of SNUFF.
Nevertheless it must be acknowledged
that very large number of brain work
ers indulge in no stimulants whatevest
or use them very sparingly.-New Yorh
Sun.

THE SITUATION.
Facts Developed by the Recent State
Elections.

Facts Developed by the Recent State
Elections.
The noise OF a great conflict dies
away and the flag of true and un-
daunted democracy has been carried
forward. In New York, on issues
chiefly national, the party has united
in the support of an excellent candi-
date, with the result that everything is
ours. In Massachusetts,, after a stub
born fight, democrat is for the second
time chosen governor, the victory be-
ing due to the demand of the people
for freer trade. In Iowa, democrat
elected two years ago by an accident,
as it seemed, is successful again by an
increased majority on an increased
vote, and probably carries the entire
state ticket with one exception with
him. In Ohio Mr.. Mckinley, the very
embodiment of protection, the chief ben
efactor of trusts, rings and subsidy
hunters, unites all elements of his own
party. concentrates the forced and vol
untary contributions of ten thousand
manufacturers, and in the face of dem
ocratic discussions succeeds in his can
vass by majority which is not so
much victory as a presage of APP
preaching disaster.
Let us make no mistake about the
situation; the battle is not won, it is
only begun. Republicans find their
lines of communication assailed, and
they will not in 1892 be able to concen-
trate their foxces in two states. Never.
theless they will contest every inch of
ground with stubborn determination,
and they are well entrenched, and well
supplied with the sinews of war.
Democrats have fighting chance, no
more, in Massachusetts and in Iowa.
Had the democratic candidate for gov
ernor in Iowa delivered the speeches
on silver which united the party in
Massachusetts, he could not have won.
Had the democratic candidate for gov
ernor in Massachusetts dealt with
silver as it was dealt with in Iowa he
would have been defeated. la both
Massachusetts and Iowa the people are
thoroughly aroused on the question of
tariff reform. 1t is an issue which
unites the democrats of every section
of the union. For it the leaders of the
party have since 1876 contended with
great courage, with great wisdom, and
under much Encouragement. At last
victory is within our reach. The
whole organization, from Massachu
sets to Texas, is inspired with en-
thusiasm and supported by the hope of
victory. On this issue. and on this
issue alone, can democrats every
where be brought face 70 face in solid
phalanN with the republican hosts 1t
is no time now for new issues or for
the discussion of questions involving
another educational campaign. Louis.

THE THERMOMETER.
Why 1t Should Always Accompany the
Winter Dairy. l--l

Why 1t Should Always Accompany the
Winter Dairy.
There is one thing very important in
the winter dairy, which, perhaps, l
should have placed first, and that is
the food of the COWS; for. without
something else than hay, You will not
make very fine butter. Milk feed and
cornmeal are about the best for yield
and quality, although there are, many
other articles of food which will be
useful and contribute to the appetite
and health of the cattle. The process
for the winter dairy is similar to that
of the summer, with the exception of
the regulation as to the temperature
of room, etc, which is follows: Par
ticular care should be taken not to let
the milk get cold before placing it in
the dairy room, says an authority, for
should it be completely chilled, the
cream will not rise well. Add about a
gill of warm water to the sour milk
for each pan, before straining into it,
which will greatly facilitate the rising
of the cream. Keep the temperature
Of the room as near fifty-eight degrees
Fahrenheitas possible and guard against
the air being dry by having a small
vessel of water upon the stove, or else
dry coat will form upon the surface
of the cream. The cream should be
kept in colder place than the dairy
room until the night before churning,
when it might be placed in the warm
room, so that its temperature shall be
about tifty-eight degrees. The churn
may be prepared by scalding it, and
then reduced to the same temperature
as the cream by cold water, using the
thermometer as test. This. regula-
ton of temperature is of the greatest
Importance: for, should it be too low.
you will be long time churning and
have poor, tasteless butter; if too high,
the butter will be soft and white

How To select Laying Hens.

Hens differ individually and they diff
fer as breeds. knowledge of their in
dividual characteristics can only be
gained by constant association with
! them and careful observation of their
traits. The laying hen is one that is
active and busy. A good scratching
hen one that is never idle, is, as rule,
a good layer, for the reason that her
active habits keep her in proper condi-
ton for laying. Hence we may advise
that in selecting the busy, active hen be
retained A brightred comb, bright wat
ties bright eyes, clean feathers and a
happy disposition are indications Of
good layers. All hens have bright red
combs when beginning to lay, but it is
before the hens begin that more infor-
nation is desired. Breed for good lay.
ers. Select the best every year and
mate them with male from a good
laying strain or breed. When one finds
lot of drones IN flock get rid of
them and breed from those which are
productive. The rule that like begets
like" holds good with poultry just the
same DIS with anything else, Orange

A WINTER BEE HOUSE.

ably lower than the central cupola to
facilitate circulation of air. Have the
door of the house tit closely. Place the
hives upon shelves attached to the
walls, or set them upon the floor;
probably the latter is preferable as the
vibration will be less. Bees SO protect
ed will winter upon less stores than if
left out in the wind and cold, and will
be in better condition in the spring, If
the house is provided with windows on
the sunny side (and wooden shutters
for winter use), so that the heat of the
sun may warm the atmosphere, the
bees need not be moved out at all. The
shade afforded will be valuable during
the heat of summer, and the open door,
way and windows will allow the bees
tree entrance. Orange Judd Farmer.
