were found giving 140 quarts a day. In
West Hoboken fifteen COWS were found
giving eighty quarts a day, and they were

A Great ResponsIbilitv.

One phase of a woman's ~pride-great
family pride-is self respect. 1t is a great
case. She will dwell at great length on
Its strength. and is always on the alert to
protect It. She is SO jealous of it that she
continually airs her grievances. She is
SO fearful that she will not be treated
with the Difference she considers her due
that the most trivial things are taken for
Sights and insults. II the little
things are explained away. then
she harbors suspicious with which
TO defend her great pride.
These suspicious are generally the fruit
OF a Jealous mind: for women who are on
the lookout for proper respect to be paid
TO them are %insanely jealous of atten-
lions paid to others, and woe be unto the
unfortunate individual if the one lack
ing in attention TO her should happen to
be her husbandl In her e~ndeavors to
properly protect her family pride and self
respect her grievances become the COM
mon property and gossip of the neighbor-
hood. and for that matter the most re.

FOUR TRACKS SOON.
Great Bridge and Rail Improve
ments by the Pennsylvania
Contracts Given Out.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. II, 1892.-The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has just
given out contracts for increasing the
number OF tracks on the division betwesn
Harrisburg and Altoona. The work not
only includes the increasing of the num-
Der of tracks but also Of the construction
of new bridges between Philadelphia ind
Altoona. This work is to be completed
not later than February Is and every
thing is to be in rum ing order by March
Is. The principal work will be in the
construction and enlargement OF the
bridges. The bridges, which are to be en-
larged from two tracks to four tracks,
are numbers 8, 9, 10 and IL, all of which
cross the Little Juniata.
FOUR TRACKS ALL ALONG,
Besides the enlarging of these bridges
there will be grading for two additional
track from Mayes Bridge to Longfellow
about five miles. When this is all COM
pleted, this part Of the division will have
a four track road exclusive of sidings.
The same kind of work will be lone from
Coal Siding to Huntington. While all
this work requires u great deal of labor
there will be no heavy grading of any
extent.
On the Philadelphia division two bridges
will be enlarged to accommodate four
tracks, one at Mill Creek and one at
Chrlstiana. Arrangements nave also
been made for the changing of the line
from a Ewo track to a four track road
between Bird-in-Hand and Big Cones
toga. This work will be rapidly pushed
to completion.
SURVEYS FINISHED.
Chief Engineer Brown and his assist
ants of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, have. during the last year, been
making a number of surveys along the
line of this road between Philadelphia
n Pittsburg. A number of sharp curves
have been taken out, and wherever it
has been feasible, the number of tracks
has been increased SO that when the
above work has been completed the road
will be a four track one from Jersey City
to Pfttsburg.
Along the line OF the New York division
the company Is now busily engaged in
laying the pneumatic system of auto
matte t%nterlining signals. The power
house is now being built at Holmesburg
Junction, and a like one will be built
close TO the tracks of the main line
division in this city. Besides this the
company is also increasfngl the number
of tracks from four to five and in some
places six tracks are now laid and ready
for business.

Electric Raindrons.

Rain which on touching the ground
crackles and emits electric sparks is a
very uncommon but not unknown
phenomenon. An instance of the kind
was recently reported from Cordova, in
Spain. by an electrical engineer who wit
messed the occurrence. The weather had
been warm and undisturbed by wind,
and soon after dark the sky became over
cast by clouds. AT about eight O'Clock
there came a flash of lightning, followed
by great drops of electric rain, zach one
of which on touching the ground, walls
or trees, gave a faint crack and emitted a
spark OF light. The phenomenon con-
tinued for several seconds, aud apparent

saturated with moisture. - Chambers

Insurance Rates ON Farm Buildings,

Special to Tue Jersey C1ty NelCs.
SALEM. Nov. II. 1S92.-The losses on
farm buildings in New Jersey have been
SO great during the past few years that
the insurance com panies both stock and
mutual, are arranging to increase the
rate of insurance upon this class OF prop
erty. They claim that barns are more
hazardous than carpenter shops and plan
ing mills. which are listed as extra haz-
ardous. They cite the fact that in Phila-
delphia, during the past seventeen years,
with risks on carpenter shops amountin g
to 81. 276. 900, and with premiums paid in
amounting to 1852, 900, the losses have
only been $40, 900, u net profit of $65. 900.
On the other hand insurance on farm
buildings has been extremely Improbable

The City Hall Bids.

The bids filed with the City Hall
Commissioners todayappear to amply
vindicate Mr.. Lewis II. Broome and
his plans. Whatever outsiders or the
disappointed bidders may say about
the possibility of doing the work at
the price, the fact remains that a rep
utable firm is willing to undertake the
responsibility and offers bondsmen
whose solidity cannot be question ed
for the faithful performance of the
work.
We are much pleased at this out
come of the affair. So far as we may
have seemed to reflect upon Mr..
Broome, we desire to make due
amends. In the note of warning
which we sounded yesterday, we
dealt with a rumor which was on
every tongue about the City Hall,
which gained some support from re-
marks of the Commissioners
themselves, and of which, it was said,
Mr.. Broome was the first source. 1t
is just possible that Mr.. Broome and
the Commissioners were as much sur
prised as anybody at the favorable
bids today.
Now let the work go on. We have
the land; we have the plans; we have
the money; we have the contractor;
let us have the City Hall itself in
short order.

MAYOR GRANT of New York de-
serves the praise of every sensible
citizen for the manne in which he
has sat down upon the shrieking sis
terhood of New York. Mayor Grace
INDUCED a few years ago in the silly
se~ntimentalitY of appointing a couple
of women members of the Board of
Education. Inside six months they
had the whole school system by the
ears. In particular they succeeded in
making themselves obnoxious to the
women teachers, whom they assailed
with suspicion and innuendo in the
intolerant and intolerable fashion
characteristic of the ''emancipated"
woman. They demonstrated, in short
order, that they were simply a
nuisance in the Board. They did no
good whatever themselves, and they
obstructed business.
Mayor Grant and the public fully
understand this. But the bold-faced
crew who take q pride in ~unsexing
themselves have been beleaguering
the Mayor for the past month to in
duce him to do violence to his convic-
tions of right and allow them a new
lease of the notoriety they live on.
His Honor refused, and everyone
should honor him for it.
