Hol.t Win HI. nun n.....,

Charles Thompson. secretary to the first American congress. once boarded in the family of a school teacher named Dove. This man Dove was a humoTst. and in his school, insteal of whipping an offen- sive pupil, he made him ridiculous in the eyes of his schoolmates. The birch was stuck into the back part of the collar of the culprit who. with this badge of disgrace, was made to stand upon the platform.
 If boys were late in arriving at school, a committee of five or six scholars was sent into the streets. with bell and lighted lantern. to hunt up the deiinquents and escort them to the schoolhouse.
 One day the scholars enjoyed the sport mentioned in "HamRt'-"to have the engineer hoist by his own petard." " Dove had always professod willingness to have his own punish ment meted out to himself in case he transgreSsed the rules.
 One morning the teacher was late, and a committee of boys, with b II and lantern, meeting him on his way to school, escorted him through the streets, to the amusement of the spectators. He had the good sense to submit quietly. y.-Youth's Compan- ion

Hou the Lfbertr nor. pid It.

It twill be remember that a dozen or more of the cofnsions between the British and the Liberty Boys of New York just prior to the active out break of the Revolution grew out of the posting of incendiary bills and broadsides.
 The manner in which these bills were posted IS curious. According to the diary of John Parks, written in 1775, the work was accomplished in the following manner:
 ''The method lately used in New York to post up in1ammatory hand. bills was the same used in England at the time of the Pretender It was done by man who carried a little boy in box like a magic lantern, and while he leaned against the wall, as if to rest himself, the boy drew back the slide, pasted on the paper and shutting himself up again the man took the proper occasion to walk of to another resting place.

The AfIantic,s Bed.

Proceeding westward from the Irish coast the ocean bed deepens very gradually. For the first 2SC miles the gradient is but six feet to the mile; in the next 20 miles the fall IS over 5000 feet, and so precipitOus is the descent that in many places depths of 1,20O to 1,6OO fathoms are encountered in very close proximity to the 100 fathom line. With the depth of 1,sOO to 2,00O fathoms the sea bed becomes a slightly undulating plain l 200 mHes wide. The greatest depth in the Atlantic is 300 miles Ol so northward of the island of St. Thomas, where soundings of 3,S7t fathoms were obtained, or nearly four miles in depth.-Nautical Maga zine

ou,.,,. Railroad News.

Passenger Agent Thompson ot the Santa Fe. received last eNehlns s a dispatch from General fasSehger Accent T. H. Goodman of the Southern Pacific, stating that the Southern Pacific wants to restore rates and proposes to withdraw the circular boycotting the santa e on on business via Los Angeles anu San Diago If was suggested that rates Ina Testored on March Sl and remain in May l5, pending a permanent sattlamsnt .ati of the troubles by con ference between President helhnSI' and President Huntington MT T5omnson wired to Chicago head 1usrtars for instructions, but up to
 1oon today had received no reply, snnnosedly because President Rem bart was out of the city ana there was delay in communicating with him. .L.. :. man intimate with the NanderblitS, and an official in the Wagner Palace Car Company, stated there that Waoner cars were to take the place of PDlImans on the Santa Fe. This was taken to mean that the Wander b;Its had secured a large interest m inc santa Fe. and this conclusion, the dispatch says, was virtually ad- mitted by the Wagner othclal. A New York dispatch of yesterday, however. says that Colonel McCook, one of the Santa Fe receivers, says there is no truth in the report about change of cars.
 The San Diego dispatch also went on to say that fit is surmlsed that a combination has been formed to nush the Santa Fe into San Fran cisco. The officials of the Santa Fe have been free to admit that the Santa Fe system, as at present ter minatiRg on this coast, IS not m an !, dependent position, and that they never will be satisfied until they are in possessien of a line to San Fran cisco that can be depended upon. The disposition of the Southern Pacific Is more distasteful to the Santa Fe, if possible, than to the public st large. With the power ful aid of the Nanderbilts an exten- sion of lhe Santa Fe would be com paratively easy, and this fact may account iR some measure for the independent and aggressive action of the Santa Fe during the present rate war"-Los Angeles Express.

pushipr Ahead in Spite of Hard Time

Pushing Ahead iR Spite of Hard Times.
 In spite of the talk of hard times in the east, the same spirit that built the Union and Central Pacific railroads is still alive, and hard at work in the west. and three roads are now building that will make accessible new and fertile portions of the great southwest. For years these roads have been dreamed of. Now men are actively engaged in pushing them into the land of sun shine, fruit and flowers. The Santa Fe, Prescott * Phenix Railway is a leader in the field. This is an enter prise of vast importance to Arizona and is now in rapid progress toward completion.
 The completion of this road, which has been Arizona'S greatest necessity, under the adverse fnan- cial conditions obtaining ever since the inception of the enterprise, is as eloquent expression of the faith on the part of its promoters in the possibilities and resources of the territory as could be had. The inestimable advantages to accrue from the opening of this line are too many to enumerate within the limits of a magazine article. Suffice 1t to say that the Salt river valley, one of the richest irrigated agricul- tural sections in the southwest, will, on the completion of the line, find quick access to the markets of the north and east for its fruit and numerous other agricultural pro- ducts. The timber regions of north srn Arizona will find a growing market within its own territory, which has hitherto been inaccessi- bic, and where wagon transporta- fion and long haul freight from the Pacific Coast have made the price of lumber almost prohibitive. The mines situated in the intermediate mining region, will be enabled to develop to the ultimate of their possibilities, their supply of timber being drawn from the northern and southern portions of the territory, respectively, and fuel in and ore out being moved at the minimum of cost.
 There is no question before the people of Arizona so vital to their existence and the development of the rich and diversified resources of their territory, as that now before them of providing means of com munication with all the markets of the United States, and no line of railway ever projected through a new country gave such assurance of profit to itself and prosperity to the people relying on it, as the Santa Fe, Prescott X Phenix Railway does at this time.-Irrigation Age.

Uses of Amber.

Very few people know that amber, so much used in pipestems, is put to other uses. It makes with other in gredients the finest kind of varnish, such as is used on watch dials. Am Der is brought in bulk to this coun try. Pure amber Is valuable, while the clouded material Is much cheaper. Yarnish factories buy up all the old pipestems possible, and when one takes a pipe to 8 store to have new amber furnished he must not suppose the old piece is thrown away. He may be carrying the result of the old piece around with him at later day and not know it on his watch dial Philadelphia Call

 The Los Angeles and Arizona divisions are to be consolidated with J. A. Muir as Superintendent. who will have charge of everything from Bakersfield to Fl Paso. Col. J. S. Noble will go to Los Angeles but in what capacity is not known. Master Mechanic Grey gill also go to Los Angeles from Tue ion. The track and car departments ire to be consolidated and the position If resident engineer now held by Flaw ,ood will be abolished. The roadmas- ters will be given about double the ength of track to look after. Alto 5ether the new deal, will lead to the most decided shaking up which the Arizona division has everreceiYed.
