will also buy large quantities of rails, but it
Is not yet known that their contracts will
be for more than $4,000 tons. 66sre is a
fine profit in rails at $50 per ton. A railroad
manager recently remarked that 1t had
been shown TO him that rails could be pro-
dued for good profit by American mills at
SIS per ton, but that the protective tariff
allowed immense gains that the manufact~
urers we're reaptng from the railroads of
the country. Last year the production Of
steel rails was very nearly 100000 tons
and manufacturers estimate that this year
the output will be at least 100000 tons
greater. In spite of the huge profit on rails
at 500 per ton the trade is talking about
prices having been cut from last years rate.

UNITED STATES.

Careful inquiry reveals the astound-
ing fact that the United States, instead
OF producing more eggs than are re
CURED for home consumption, imports
over s.. 600, 900 worth of eggs. We find
that 1872 weimported6 600, O00dozen
eggs, which at twenty four cents per
9oEen, amounted to 81, 40, 600. New
York State and city consume about
$4,000, 90 worth of eggs and poultry
annually, and the regular population
ofboth State and city is about 5, 820. 81.
therefore, the United States, with her

GETTING ENGAGED IN HOLLAND.

The Curious Way a Young Dutchmnn
Manages Ills Love AFFAIRS.
In many of the provinces of Holland
there is marriage custom in vogue
which is as curious as any to be found
in years search through South At
RIGA.
When Dutch swain falls so deeply
in love that he feels it imperative to
breathe the story of his affections into
the ears of his loved one he starts out
for her home bearing in one hand a
sweet seed cake wrapped in paper. Ar
rive,. at the family residence. he enters
the living room and, without address
ing the girl, he places the cake upon a
table near her. If she opens the paper
and begins to eat, it is sign that the
love-suit is acceptable TO all. But If
the cake is left upon the table un-
touched, then the lover must look some
where else for sweetheart. Some
times the girl leases her lover by daily
ing with the cake before eating In
case she refuses him, the whole affair is
kept entirely a secret and no one out
side the family is ever the wiser.

While travelling in the north of

writer in Baby. When FIRST l be-
came his master he was most savage,

him home would fill volume.
After being domiciled some time in
my country place his temper became
more civilized, but he was still very
cross to strangers, and even could not
take liberties with him.
lie had the range of the house and
his favorite place was in my wife's
boudoir. My last child was then hard
ly out of babyhood-in the semi-crawl-
ing, toddling stage. She was always
brought down TO the boudoir every
evening at five.
One evening the dog was as usual on
the rug in front of the fire, the child
being seated in another part of the
room. A sudden cry from my wife
made me look up and saw to my hor-
ror the child had crawled close up to
the dog.
One glance showed me there was no
time to interfere, as by doing so the
dog might bite. BY the time the baby
had got up to the dog hewas pulling his
ears and had one of his little arms right
in his mouth. All the dog did was to
lick the little ones face and permit it
to tug away at its pleasure. Almost
the first word that child learned was
the name OF the dog, which was Fink.
From that day the dog was daily
visitor to the nursery, and never let the
children go out without his escort, and
it is needless to say that no stranger
was permitted to come near them.
Though Fink liked the other children,
he was always devoted especially to the
baby,

THE WASHINGTON FAMILY.

In the presidential campaign of
1876 it was often remarked, as a
curious coincidence, that IF the men
elected president every third one W: 8
childless. The list ran Washington,
Madison, Jacks n, Polk, Burhar an
anl-but there seems To have been a
break in the line, So that the omen
failed on Tilden. 1t is also wor nv
of remark that these childless men
had singularly happy home lives, AMI
none more SO than George Washing
ton.
Martha cambridge was beauty
AMI a Virginia belle when at seven,
teen she married Daniel Parke CnstiS
OF their four children two pr ced,d
their father To the tomb, aud when
the widow GUSTS married George
Washington in 1859 she had hut a
son and daughter. History gives
US few exquisite glimpses of the
home life of Washington for the next
few years. He and his wife w,re
very nearly of the same age; both
were horn in 1882; both were wealthy,
refined and of the highest standing
among their Virginia contemporaries.
Washington loved the two children as
his own. There was nothing to mar
their domestic life.
But in 1878 Martha Parke GUSTS
died, and Washington was afflicted
with strange restlessness. Indeed
his domestic life never again seemed
SO calm till after the Revolution.
Martha was sometimes called the
ozark lady" or the ''dark beauty
but she was both beautiful and ami
able. The son, John Parke Custls, 1T
the age of nineteen. married one Of
the famous Calvert family at Balti-
more, but he, too, died young-dn d
of camp fever at Yorktown soon
after the surrender, leaving four
children. General and Mrs Washing
ton adopted two, and these consti-
tuted the Washington family seen in
the familiar pictures.
Eleanor Parke GUSTS, the daughter,
was SO young at her fathers death
that she knew no home hut Mount
Vernon. In 1899 she became Tie
wife Of Major Lewis, Washington's
sisters son. The son was the we'll |
known George Washington Parke
Gusts, an author Of some note. who
acquired the famous Arlington estate,
where he died in 1857. His only
child, daughter, married Robert +.
Lee, who thus became the owner Of
Arlington.-Clldwell Tribune.
