nistrihutinc Time Tables.

It is fact not generally known that
the furnishing of railroad time tables to
the hotels of the city is performed by a
regularly incorporated company, who
make that work their sole occupation.
Something had to be done to correct
the evil of having old time tables in
the coatroom and porters' closets of the
hotels which gave nothing but misin-
formation to the traveller if indeed he
could find any time table at all, and so
the general passenger agent OF one OF the
trunk line roads hit upon the scheme OF
forming time table supply company.
This was done about a year ago and has
now assumed large proportions.
The profits in the business are consid-
cradle and come from the railroad COM
panies. Some seventy or eighty of the
prominent roads of the country are sub
scribers. They supply their folders and
time slips to the company and subscribe
literally for the work of having them
distributed among the large hotels and
other resorts of New York and Brooklyn.
The company furnishes each hotel with
a neat rack. either stationary or reyOly-
ing, and supports a delivery wagon and
an agent, whose duty it is to make the
rounds weekly, putting new time tables
in place and replenishing the depleted
supply.
AS a consequence it is a far easier and
more certain matter to obtain accurate
information in New York regarding the
movements of western and southern
trains than it ever was before, and every
one who has waited for an hour or more
at a lonesome railway station or has lost
half day through INSTRUMENTATION will
bless the genius who invented a railway
time table supply company, York

One Use of Mathematics.

In an otfhand sketch of Professor
Chrystal, one of his old pupils tells how

look upon Chrystal as door locked to
their adyancement-sought to bring sum
shine into the room. ChrystaI soon had
the blind down on that.

The Hawaiian Situation.

The little me marcy of Hawaii, about
2.1O0 miles from San Francisco out in
the Pacific ocean has seen some stir
ring times during the past month
1t all grew out of the attempt of Queen
Liliuokalani to restrict the government
of the island to the natives. She pre-.
pared a new constitution which she re-
quested iher cabinet to sign. This new
instrument deprived foreigners OF all
rights Of suffrage, restricting it solely to
the natives. The cabinet refusing to
to sign at her request, were threatened
with death, and fed from Honolulu to
escape the impending wrath of the dusky
queen
This state of affairs soon brought
about revolution among the foreigners,
many of whom inhabit the little mon
ar3hy, and they, determined to protect
the cabinet, forced the queen to abdi-
cate. This occurred on January 18th,
and on that day a provisional govern
ment was set up, and commissioner
were at once sent to the United States to
offer the island to Uncle Sam gratis.
The question now IS will he accept?

PEOPLE cry down the credit system

credit is just as important as cash. A
man must have one or the other or there
is bad getting along. 1t is the abuse
and not the judi3ious use of credit that
is to be condemned. We are not an adj
vocate of the credit system as it is gen
orally followed, but a cautious use OF
credit has enabled many man to gain
a foothold who could never have sue,

would be to paralyze the whole CONNER
