sHIs WAY7P You PLEASE.

A new mares nest has been dis
covered, in connection with the
plans and projects of the North
western railroad. A company has
recently been incorporatedin Wyo-
ming, known as The Wyoming and
Utah Railway Company. Osten-
:sibly, it will traverse several coun-
ties of the former state. and so far
into Utah as to make Ogden its
western terminus. The capital
stock of the company is valued at
$10,OO0,O00.
The San Franciso Chronicle, no.
ting these facts, states that this
road is really an. extension of the
Chicago and Northwestern, one of
the wealthiest and best managed
reads of the West, whose present!
western terminus is at Casper,
Wyo. The Chicago and North
western has long been seeking an
outlet to the coast, and it is hardly
reasonable that it Will stop at Gg-
den. I'he country i'll Wyoming
through which it passes IS one of
the most valuable mineral coun
tries in the United States, bat to a
great extent, undegeloped. The
Chronicle concludes from this that
the Northwestern is aiming for
San Francisco, and that the city
by the golden gate will be its ter
nainus eventually. But, as our
next door neighbor, the Albany
Herald, cogently states it, "the in
tention of the Northwestern as has
been shown by their interest in
the affairs of the Oregon Pacific
was to connect at Boise City, and
the extension from their Wyoming
terminus to Ogden does not change
the appearance of that intention.
They will reach the heart of the
Willamette valley, at Albany,
where they will eventually have
two Pacific ocean outlets. one at
Yaquina bay and the other at the
mouth of the Columbia river"
In the latter clause of the pre-
ceding paragraph our neighbor will
please stand corrected. 1t is all
right in its statement, barring that
one word "Albany," exclusively.
Corvallis means ssheart of the val
ley" in root and extract of language
and in every fact and condition
named above, it is the s'heart of
the Willamette valley" above all
Others. As the centrepot of the
<'two Pacific outlets" it is that in
fact the instant a road is finished
to Astoria, which being on the
west side, by all the ties of con-
junction and natural sympathy |
will command the prestage and
commerce of the west side. Cor
wallis too, has an ssoutlet to Yaqui-
ma" to-day, which covers every
inch of the ground that Albany
does or ever can cover, while our
own city has a draft upon chan
nels Of commerce which tie neigh |
boring .center" has no possible
hope Of ever acquiring.
The chronicle is certainly right |
in its. prognostication that the |
Northwestern will not make its
terminus at Ogden, but in all
probability its idea that the North |
western will parallel the Central
Pacific, is wide of the mark. The
Northwestern will seek its track
through a country that is capable
of more local traffic than that adj
jacent to the Central Pacific.
Such country is found along the
proposed route of the Oregon Pa
cific road; country which will
develop a large and growing local
business.

English Field Sports.

The matter of wire fencing and the
kindred difficulty of dealing with i'm
mense fields of horsemen are so often
thrashed out in the papers devoted to
field sports that it is not necessary to
enter into them here. Masters of hounds
are now willing to pay for taking up
wire before the hunting season begins,
and to put it down again in the spring.
The difficulties caused by large fields
will have somehow to be overcome,
either by ceasing to advertise meets or
by making it understood (how, perhaps,
it is not very easy to say that those who
come out will have to pay for their
sport, an idea which, while it is COM
monty acted upon by residents, is often
overlooked by visitors.
Field sports in the British islands are
for the most part artificial, but hunting
is entirely so. If it was not for the ten
der care which. in England at any rate,
is taken of the fox, he would soon become
as extinct as the wolf Coverts are plant
ed for him on dry sunny hillsides; his
breed is improved by judicious crossing
with strangers from the north, and in a
good hunting country keepers are sup
posed at any rate to look after his COM
fort and to consider him almost as much
belonging to their family as do their
pheasants. In a district which is suita-
ble in every way for game, but which is
not preserved, it is always exceedingly
scarce.-Macmillan' Magazine.

Saved bv a Thoughtful Dog.

One evening &r. W. Wilson of King
was leaving Tottennam by the road lead
ing to the west. He must needs, there
fore. cross the railroad. In doing so the
horse SHE'D. and Mr.. Wilson was thrown
across the track so violently that he was
stunned.
Old Rover. owned by Mr.. John VIII
son. bailiff, was making one of his noe
nrnal perambulations through the town
about o'clock-no doubt doing duty as
night watchman. Crossing the track, he
noticed the unfortunate individual and
Immediately set out to alarm Mr.. G.. A.
Nolan, who resides in the nearest house
to the track. Here he barked and whined
until Mrs. Nolan arose to chase him
away, but he only returned to continue
his howlings. Mr.. Nolan then conceived
the idea that something might probably
be wrong about the mill, as Rover often
visited them there during the day and
was well acquainted with the premises.
He Immediately dressed, went outside
and found the dog ready to lead toward
the mill. Their way led across the track,
but when they got that far Rover's
course was directed up the track to
where the unconscious man lay. When
Mr.. Nolan arrived on the scene, he saw
the cause of the dogs trouble and took
the unfortunate man to his house, where,
with good care and proper attention, he
revived. In half an hour a freight train
went laundering by.-Cor. Toronto Mail.

Black Tom Corwin.

Colonel Sarchet has some entertaining
gossip in the Guernsey Times anent
politics back In 1910, when Tom Cor
win and Benjamin 5. C0wen were elect
ed by the Wings as Governor and Con
gresham, respectively, over the Demo
cratic nominees, Wilson shannon and
Isaac Parrish He relates the following
aneedote: Tom COrwin during the cam
paign of 1870, was in the stage coach in
a night journey travelling west At st.
Ciairsville Mrs. Wilson Shannon got in
to come to Washington. Tom Corwin
remained incog. The political situation
was freely discussed by the passengers
pro and con, in which Mrs Shannon used
very freely some of the slang that was
thrown at Corwin by the Democrats
When the coach stopped at Craig's, Cor
win got out and took the baby that Mrs
shannon had with her, holding it il his
arms until she got out. On handing her
the baby he gently patted it on the back
and said, that is the way | will fix its
papa; | am black Tom Corwin," and re-
sumed his seat in the coach. Mrs. Shan
non was considerably nOnplused at the
turn of things and tried to explain, but
Corwin replied, "wait till after the elec
ton" Often things slip out in times OF
political excitement that in calmer mo
ments would not be said, and it is as true
to day as it was in 40.

BIunders of Well Known Writers.

Time would fail to tell of the thou
sands of anachronisms made by authors
of every station and every grade of rep
Inability. The Chambers Encyclope-
dia says that the fame of Beaumarchois
rests on his two operas, "Le Barber de
Seville" and lie Marriage de Figaro"
when everybody knows that Figaro"
was composed by Mozart to the ibretto
written by Casti, and that the Seville
Barber" came from the fertile pen of
Rossini. In Nicholas Nickleby" Dick
ems makes Squeers send the boys out in
midwinter to hoe turnips, while in the
''Tale of Two Cities" he confounds the
names of Samson, the French executioner,
with Samson. the Jewish judge.
Longfellow calls Erigena Scotchman,
whereas the meaning of the word signi-
fes an Irishman, and in 1.-THE Two An
gels" crowns the death angel with anna
ranth, the flower emblematic of life, and
the life angel with asphodels, the flowers
of the grave. Victor Hugo in ''Les Ira
vailleurs de la Mer" renders the Firth
of Forth by Premier des Quatre and in
Lies Miserables' dismisses for good in
the middle of the story character whom
he afterward reintroduces and of whom
he has much to say.-St. Louis Globe

Araiaaity of Bell Foundins.

The art C bell founding is undos. oted
ly of great antiquity. The Saxons are
known to have used bells in their
churches, although probably but small
ones, for the Venerable Bede, writing at
the end of the seventh century, alludes
to them in terms which seem to show
that they were not unfamiliar things.
The towers of the Saxon period have
belfries- of considerable dimensions in
most cases, and at Crowland abbey, in
South Lincolnshire, there was famous
peal of seven bells many years before
the Norman conquest.
The monks at that time and for long
after were the chief practitioners of the
art of bell founding-which indeed is one
Of the many things those well abused
men have handed down to US. Their bells
were rarely without inscriptions, often
in very bad Latin, containing perhaps
scme obscure joke, the point of which is
quite lost. More often they were of re.
ligious nature, sometimes, we fear, not
unmixed with dash of superstition, as
when the bell declares that its sound
drives away the demons of the air who
caused pestiience and famine, lightning
and thriGcrst orms.
As rul4, unfortunately they put no
dates on their bells, defect which has
been in some measure overcome by the
researches of many enthusiastic campa-
nologists, but which is likely to keep the
early history of bells shrouded in dark
ness for u long time to come.-Gentle-
mans Magazine.

Noted London Mission.

The other Sunday night at the Char
rington mission, which is held in long,
narrow room, double galleried all around,
the coughing from the fog was more
like Fourth of July with conglomerate
irecrackers, church bells and cannonad-
ing than one would conceive as possible
issuing from a merely human assembly.
Just word about this Charrington
mission, which is a feature of the east
end. Frederick Charrington belongs to
q wealthy family of brewers. About II
years ago he began to do sort of street
missionary work in East London, near
his fathers brewery. His f;.ther threat
ened to disinherit him, but finally left
him a share, though not full share, in
the business. Once, on being taunted
on the street with wearing the blue rib
bon-"What does it cost you to wear
that ribbon?"-he was able to reply,
"a hundred thousand dollars"
He sold ont his interest in the brewery
to his brothers and built in Mile End
road, the prolongatiOn of Whitechapel,
the Great Assembly hall, which had been
projected but never begun by Keith
Falconer. Every Sunday night 5000 or
more people gather at the evangelistic
service of the mission, and its fellowship
society, with the constant religious, edu-
cational and entertainment work center
Ing at the Great Assembly hall, makes it
a power for good in district which con-
tains number of powers for evil.-Lon-
don Cor. Hartford Courant.

RemarI1able Tenacity of Life.

The pious Dr. Shirley Palmer tells q
fish story that is calculated to make the
members of the st. Louis Hunting and
Fishing association Ito use strictly
original expression) ''turn green with
envy" By some hook or crook-hook
no doubt-Mr. Palmer came into pos
session of fine brace of tench. They
were lively pair of fnny beauties when
the doctor took them home with the idea
Of slaughtering them for his Sunday din
ner Placing them in pail of water, he
put them into the larder and thought no
more about the matter. That night at
midnight he was aroused, so he says, by
q groan proceeding from the aforesaid
larder Inspection of the room explained
the mystery.
One of the fish had sprung from the
basin or pail and lay gasping upon the
floor, every now and then uttering
sounds similar to those which had dis
turbed Mr.. Palmer. Next day both fish
were prepared for dinner, but such was
their tenacity of life that both, after hav-
ing undergone the process of scaling and
evisceration, sprang from the pan and
wriggled about on the floor as though
they had but recently been removed from
their native element.

Snow falls to the earth in flakes be
cause it is water solidifed in starlike
crystals, each snowflake being usually
made up of several crystals, which are
excessively light on account of the large
quantity of air among the frozen parti-
cles. The snow crystals arise from the
slow passage of the water vapor OF
clouds, when the temperature falls be-
low freezing point, into the solid condi-
ton, the fairylike transformation taking
place by the molecule or smaltess indie
pendent particles of the water grouping
themselves with the utmost mathemat-
ical regularity around different centers.
Each crystal of snow, as of anything
else, is therefore more or less perfect
geometrical solid. The most complete
snow crystals are formed in clear at
mosphere, where there is nothing to re-
tard the gradual process of crystalliza-
ton or molecular construction. Rain,
on the other hand, being liquid, falls in
drops.-London Tit-Bits.

Government Printing.

Some prodigiously large volumes have
been printed at the government print
ing Office in a wonderfully short time.
Forinstance, the Revised Statutes, which
constitute volume of 1,03S CLOSELY
printed pages, were set up, proof read
three times, printed and delivered in
bound form to the house of representa-
tives between o'clock, p. m, ON a
Wednesday and 12 o'clock, noon, on the
following Saturday-an interval of only
67 hours. Perhaps the greatest work of
printing ever undertaken anywhere was
the publication of 10000 copies of the
records of the war of the rebellion in 120
royal octave volumes of 800 pages each,
at total cost of 81 100000 for printing
and binding.
This single publication will require
over $4,000 printers reams of white pa
per to print it, and the composition will
probably exceed 100000, ,OOO,00O ems.
There will be when the work is finished
not less than 1 100000 actual books of
500 pages each. These figures dwarf
those of the largest encyclopedia ever
published in any country or in any Ian
guage.-Washingto Star.

Opposed to the English Language.

The general spread of the English Ian
guage over the world has been resisted
most stubbornly on British soil at home.
The Legislative assembly of Jersey re-
jected, by vote of 81 to 6, bill to per-
nit the use of English in the assembly
at the option of member. This action
of course affrms the principle that
French is the official language. The
country parishes are resolutely opposed
to the introduction of English, although
it has made great progress in the towns
of late years, and it is said many of the
deputies are now unable to express
themselves correctly in French.

its place among the leading naval powers
of the world. Twelve United States
