If the nutritious matter cf tho soil
is carried down below the roots of
some plants the plant form may be
unavailable. But all plants do not
feed alike. as some reach down into
the slibsoil and bring up tho plant

SOME RITTW4Y FACTS

The report of the Inter State Com
Mission FayS that the total number of
locomotives used by the railways of this
country was, or June 80 1891, 32, I39
showing an increase of 1899. during the
year, and the total number of cars, the
pr6l'erty of railways, was 1:2l5,6lf,
showing: an increase of 1874 during
the year. 'The,number of locomotives
per 100 miles of line was 20; the number
OF: f:passenger cars per 100 miles of line
was II; and the number of freight cars
per 100 miles of line was ia. "-
The increase in equipment has not
proceeded as rapidly as the increase in
train brakes and automatic couplers
The increase in equipment during the
year, including locomotives and cars
was 1898, while the increase in equip
ment fitted with automatic couplers
was 53,716, and the increase in equip;
ment fitted with train brakes was 49,
sos. The estimated increase in equip
ment for the year 1892 is 29,S21, while
the estimated increase in equipment
fitted with automatic couplers is 1868,
and the equipment fitted with train
brakes is estimated to have increased
96,503. These figures show clearly that
at the'present rate. it will be many years
before the total equipment of railways
will be fitted with salty devices, unless
congress sees fit to take prompt action
in the premises. , ~. .-
The number. of linen employed on
railways in the Uuited States during
the year covered by the report was 7S4,
2S5, being an increase Of 34,9S4. The
number of men employed per 100 miles
of line was 1856. The report brings an
interesting fact to light by showing that
the number of men in theemploy ofthe
railways in proportion to the total
population was to 81 inhabitants in
1889; to 81 inhabitants in 1890; and
to 81 inhabitants in 1891, From this it
will be seen that the population of the
country increases at less rapid rate
than that portion of the population en-
gagged in transportation by rail, which
indicates the constantly growing inn
portance of the railway industry to
American industrial life.
The extent to which organized in
dustry has increased the efficiency of
labor is shown by the fact that every
engineer, during the year, has on an
average carried 369077 passengers one
mile and 2,s29,639 tons of freight one
mile. Cheap rates are easily under.

Tne State 1eachers, Mneti,,n.


The meeting of the teachers of the
state at Cedar Rapids this week seems
to have demonstrated again that there
is but one convention city in the state
and that city is Des Moines. Despite
the efforts made by Supt. Merrill and
his fellow workers in that city, the ac-
commodatiOns were inadequate, several
persons having to sit up all night on
one or another, occasion, and the rates
charged were oftentimes too high. - For
all that, the meeting itself was great
success, old and young taking hold with
enthusiasm. .--
= The most interesting feature of the
program was the morning given to the
Old-timers. The fourPs, Pickard, Piper,
Parvin and Parker, and Prof. Edison re-
told their stories ofeducational pioneer
ing in Iowa; the first normal institute
in Iowa at Dubuque 1849, the attitude
of the early governors to education, the
building up of Denmark academy, the
organization of the state association in
1854, and the contributors ofthe associ.
alton to the cause of education. A
count of heads. showed present six that
were members before 1864; and ten
more that belonged before 1874. -.
The most powerful impression was
made by Pres. Seerley in his remarks
before the coancil in the issuing of
certificates and in his paper before the
secondary department on the Normal
School, Problem. His attitude and
general Thought were the same in both
cases. The. paper. being, in print, will
find its way into the hands of educators
and their friends, and will, it is to be
hoped, arouse the same interest that it
did when delivered. According to
Pres. .Seerley, $4,000 of the 25,0O0 teach
ers of the state are confessedly incom-
petent, but receive certificates because
there are more places for teachers than
competent teacher S to fill them, and he
asserts that across every third grade
certificate should be stamped the state.
ment that it is granted to the applicant.
whOis incompetent because places must
be filled. The problems of teacher
supply and teacher training, the.
latter of which Pres. Seerley states as
vigorously as he does the first, demand
solution and to that end the earnest
thought and agitation of all true friends
of education. ...s..

A PLEASANT TASTE.

The French say when anything
offends their taste that it leaves a
bad taste in their mouths. This
is the result of most medicines.
People try to avoid the sensation
by sugar coating pills and in this
way to ayoidthe sensation of swal-
lowing a bitter polus, but the feel
ing is there and the lump still
sticks in the throat. There is,
however, a remedy that absolute
ly disguises all unpleasant taste.
These are the Laxative Gum Drops.
These gum drops appear in size,
taste and flavor like the ordinary
gum drop of the confectioner, but
they are so skillfulIy medicated
that they act with certainty, but
mildly without pain or gripping.
For dyspepsia, for indigestion and
AL stomach troubles they have no
equal. They are put up in boxes,
the small size at fen cents, the
large size at twenty-five cents. The
small size contains twelve, the large
size from thirty-six to forty max
ing them the cheapest laxatI . in
