doubt there would haye been serious

Wisdom From the Rams Horn

The farmer who undertakes 10 earn his
bread by the sweat of hired mans brow
had better make up bis mind that pic
once a month will do.
Tne grave-digser would have more
time to rest if some other people wonld
learn to live without always being IN
hurry.
The man W ho beats the big drum in
band always has an idea that the music
wonld be better if be bad more to do.
If men would enthuse as easily in re-
lig,on as they do in politics, how quick
the devil would begin 20 run.
The time when it makes a man the
maddest to call him liar Is when he
knows you tell the truth.
One trouble with the world IS that so
many people have more reputation than
character.
In getting riches we get a thousand
other things that we didn't want to get.

Connterfeit Souvenir Coins.

Division, has cautioned his agents to ox-
ercise the closest possible scrutiny to pre-
vent any counielfciting Of the Columbian

and still make 33 per cent, on each coin. "
This view of the situation is not shared
by the Secret Service people. Chief Drum
mond thinks it VIII lee almost impossible
to counterfeit the souvenir coin on an ex-
tensiye scale. The machinery necessary
TO compress silver to the density of the

RAILROAD.

SHIP LINE-DOUBLE TRACKING THE
RAILROAD.
Advices from London state that all the
papers for the organization of the Che;a-
peake & Ohio Steamship Company
limited, have been signed and the capital
has all beeu subscribed. The line is 10 the
interest of the Chesapeake g. Ohio Rail
road Co., which owns . majority of the
stock. Contracts have been awarded to
builders on the Clyde for the construction
of six steamers. Three Of them are about
the size of the new White Star steamer
"Cufic,' the other three are out one
fifth smaller These steamers will make
regular weekly salings from Newport
News to England, and additional steamers
will be built probably in Amsrica) as the
lines require them. Ar. Ingalls,, Presl-
dent of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad,
saws that the advantages TO the railway
company Of this line can hardly be over
estimated. The EXPORT business from
Newport News is even now moro than
enough for these steamers as we'll as all
the tramp steamers that can be secured.
Last wear over 100 steamers were loaded
by the Chesapeake & Ohio from that port
for Europe.
The railway which is to furnish bust
ness for this new enterprise is fast be-
coming a great system. West OF Clifton
Forge considerable stretches Of double
tracking is being done and in less than
two years it is contemplated the entire
distance west to Cincinnati will have two
tracks. Between Clifton Forge and Rich
mond. the old X. g. A. OF James River
division as it is now called takes the
place of double track. But the Pen
insular division-Richmond to Newport
News-will have to be double tracked at
an early day, as the traffic is already enor-
nous and continues to increase rapidly

What Every Man is Worth.

An interesting exhibit at the Ma
tional Museum shows the physical in
gradients which go to make up the
average man, weighing 154 pounds.
says the American Analyst A large
glass jar holds the ninety-six pounds
of water which his body contains. In
other receptacles are three pounds of
white of egg, little less than ten
pounds Of pure glue-without which
it would be impossible to keep body
and soul together-434 pounds of fat,
81 pounds of phosphate of lime, one
pound of carbonate of lime, three
ounces Of sugar and starch, seven
ounces of fouride of calcium, six
ounces of phosphate of magnesia and
q little ordinary table salt. Divided
up into his primary chemical elements
the same man is found to contain
ninety-seyen pounds of oxygen
enough to take up, under ordinary at
mospheric pressure, the space of q
room ten feet long, ten feet wide and
ten feet high. His body also holds
fifteen pounds of hydrogen, which, I'M
der the same conditions, would occupy
somewhat more than two such rooms
as that described. To these must be
added three pounds and thirteen
ounces of nitrogen. The carbon in
the corpus of the individual referred
to is represented by foot cube of
coal. 1t ought to be diamond Of the
same size, because the stone is pure
carbon, but the National Museum has
not such one in it's possession A
row of bottles contain the other ele-
ments going to make up the man.
These are four ounces of chlorine, 3!
ounces of fourine, eight ounces OF
phosphorus, 81 ounces Of birthstone,
p ounces of sodium, q ounces of pc
tassium, 10 of an ounce of iron, two
ounces of magnesium and three pounds
and thirteen ounces of calcium. Cal
cium, at present market rates, is
worth $500 an ounce, SO that the
amount of it contained in one human
body has a money value of S18,3O0
Few of our fellow citizens realize that
they are worth SO much intrinsically.

Electricity IN Gardening.

BY the use of electric light W. W.
Rawson, of Arlington, Mass, claims no
makes gain of five days in each of his
three crops of letluce-that is, two weeks
in a season; that the gain on one crop pays
all the expense of the electric lighting
for the season, thus giving him the gain
on the other two for extra profit His
attention waa first called to the useful
ness of the light by the advance made in
the growth at the ends of his greenhouses
next the street and in the glare of the
electric light. This was so marked that
he introduced the light through the let
tuce and cucumber houses. DR.. Bailey,
of Cornell University, says, as the result
of his own experiments, that the intlu-
ence Of the light is greatly modified by
the interpositlon Of glass roof. Plants
insured by naked light were benefited
by the protected light. Five hours
light per night at a distance of twelve
feet fastened maturity week or ten
days, but proved injurious to young
plants and those newly transplanted.

WHEREVER YOU ARE.
Wherever YOU are this time of year,

Wherever you are this time Of year,
o, my lost love, who was false as fair.
When the cry Of the whippoorwill falls on
your ear,
And the mown hay scents the air,
I know you must think Of the night westood
Under the sycamore tree alone,
While our veins ran riot with lifes warm
food,
And my heart made its passion known
You must think how called you my love,
Wherever YOU are, -
Wherever you are on nights like this,
Like sweet In your gall, or like gallin your
wine,
You must taste that clineing and tender kiss,
That first mad kiss of mine,
How timid you were, and how fond you
love and fright
When you heard a bird in the sycamore stir,
And I gathered you close and tight!
God but 1t must all haunt you tonight,
Wherever you are.
Wherever you are you must recall
How the young moon rose as 1 held you
there
How watched a star from midsky fall,
And my wish took the form Of a prayer.
"Whatever you ask will come true"
You said, with that smile that ensnared all
men;
And yet you were speaking lie, you knew
And never shall pray again.
You must think of the wrong you did me
then,
Wherever you are.

Thirty thousand frogs q week are
brought into the Buffalo, N. Y. mar.
let, states the New York Post. Even
the local fishermen are devoting much
OF their time to collecting frogs. for
one hundred of which they are receiv-
ing one dollar at the present time. A
Buffalo fish company. is the largest buy
er. 1t freezes the legs for quick New
York consumption, and also stores
large quantities for profitable sales at
other seasons. The business of secur-
ing the frogs isvery remunerative to the
man who knows their haunts. Twelve
hundred were brought into the city on
recent evening by fisherman who
had taken them along the lake shore on
the Canadian side. One of them was a
COW frog that weighed two and an eighth
pounds and sold for dollar and o quar-
ter, it's legs being as large as those of
good-sized spring chicken. There are
three methods of killing the frogs
with stick, by spearing, and by
shooting. The best time to hunt for
them is about the middle of the day.
when they come out from their hiding
places and seek the meadows, pas
lures, and fields where the grain has
been cut, in search of insects. Very
few frogs are caught in the marshes or
GA the banks of the lakes, as it is only
at night they gather in these locali-
ties. In winter they are either caught
with a net, which is dipped under the
ice, or dug out with spade from the
side of the banks, and are invariably
caught in clusters, for they huddle to.

working men left Sydney, Australia,
the other day, to seek their fortunes
in Paraguay. All the members of the
colony are said to be robust and ener-
getic men, and the married ones are
accompanied by their families. Their
object in the move is not so much that
they are not able to make a living
where they are, but they see no chance
to make more than bare living.
They say that capitalists have taken SO
entire possession of everything in Aus
