President Roberts of the Pennsyl-
vania road, and President Ingalls, of
the Chesapeake and Ohio road, were
before the senate committee on inter
state commerce this week to advocate
an amendment to the Interstate Com
MERGE law to permit the railroads to
form pools. They claimed that a
large majority of the railroads of the
country favored such an amendment.
A bill has been introduced in the
house and in the senate authorizing
the postmaster general to contract
with the st. Louis and Chicago elect
r1c railroad for carrying the mails at
existing rates for ten years between
those two cities, upon condition that
they shall be transported at not less
than 100 miles an hour, and that the
railroad company shall agree to fur
nlsh to farmers and others along the
line of its road, whenever requested
to do so, electrical power for agricul-
tural purposes and electricity for
light and motive power at reasonable
rates.
The senate continues to have daily
talks on the anti-option bill, and not
few of the friends of the bill fear
that the talking Is to be kept up tC
the-end of the session.
Secretary Foster pledges his wore
as fnancier that an available sur.
plus of at least $4,000, 600 will be in
the treasury at the end of this fiscal
year.

ers to submit the matter to decisive
test which should demonstrate the
real facts beyond possibility of argu-
ment. The use of the governments
testing machine at the Watertown ar
senal was secured, and the tests are
being made by a committee repre-
sentlng manufacturers in all parts of
the country, under the direct super
vision of Major j. w. Reilly, COM
mandant of the arsenal.
At the first test the size of the cut
nails tested ranged from Il inch,
three penny, 764, to inch spike
nails, forty penny and sixty penny,
six to seventeen to the pound. Wire
nails to correspond as nearly as pos
sible were used. The nails were
driven into a we'll seasoned spruce
plank to depth of precisely four
inches The weight of the nails diff
fered only two grammos, the wire
nails 214 and the cut nails 2I2
grammes.
In the first test a force of 1888
pounds was required to draw the
wire nail and of S36 pounds to draw
the cut nail of similar size. The SCI
cond wire nail was pulled with 673
pounds and the cut nail with 742.
The third wire nail required CTS
pounds of pressure, the third cut nail
8O4, the fourth wire 594, the fourth
cut 964 These were the character of
the variations of the fifth and sixth
pals. The seventh wire nail was
pulled with 879 pounds pressure, but
1,200 pounds of force was required to
draw out the cut nail of like size.
Every care was taken to have the
tests strictly fair and accurate. The
results from the initial tests were
highly satisfactory to the manufac-
turers and advocates of the cut nail.

December Is, 1892.

WASHINGTON, December Is, 1892.
The Populists are having their in
nlngs just now, and they are beng
assiduously courted by both republi-
cans and democrats. Not because
they love them more than they used
to but because the Populists are in
position to dictate the election of
United States senators in North Da-
kota, Montana, California, Wyoming
and Nebraska, and the politicians of
both of the old parties are anxious to
convince the Populists in congress
that it is their duty to use their lnfu-
ence with the members of their party
in the aforesaid legislatures to elect
senators who will pledge themselves
to act with one or the other of the old
parties on political questions. That
is, majority of the politicians are in
the convincing business. There is a
minority, however, In both the demo
cratic and republican parties who
make no bones of saying they would
prefer seeing their opponents control
the senate to controlling it them
selves; these are not bothering them
selves about the senatorial situation.
Said one of them: There is big
money and persuasive tongues to be
used in this senatorial business and
before it is ended more than one
Populist leader will have an oppor-
tunity to prove his metal"

live oak near a road, only thirty feet from

with large soap root" by way of orna-
ment; and the next year the same bird
built close by, and also procured & "soap
root to place on the side of its nest, which
showed some individuality in taste.
A third eagle had fancy for sacks, and,
after its old nest, which contained a corn
sack, had been blown out by a storm, it
built fresh one close by, and in this was
found another and new sack. The eagles

Selecting Quotations.

Care must be taken in the selection of
quotations. One is very apt to copy fine
passage, and find on reading it month
later that it is really quite commonplace,
because, apart from its setting, taken away
from the glowing preface which led up to
it, without the mind in a state of receptiv-
ity as when the passage was first read, it
has lost all its beauty. One way of avoid
ing this is by not copying the quotations as
they are found, but making pencil mark
on the margin opposite and writing the
number of the page on the fly leaf. Then,
when the book is finished, the quotations
can be taken up and sifted before writing
them down.-B, A Heydrick in Brains.

has passed hill appropriating 1854, 200

those now on the rolls S. each. Tho
present app opriation is only 100000.
The bill provides that all INDECENT Con
federate soldiers, sailors, servants and
the INDECENT widows of such shall be en-
titled to $50 per month, unless the num-
Der at this rate exceeds the appropria-
tons, in which event the amount shall
be prorated between them. 1t is est
mated that the INDECENT clause will put
