The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Sun declares that Presi-
dent Cleveland answered when asked
by friend why he was in such haste
to issue a bond call that che wanted
to anticipate i'll a measure the attack
that is to be made on his administra
ton as soon as Congress meets" That
is probably true. We suspect great
storm will be raised when Congress
meets. On that question General
Hooker, according to the Sun, says:
This issue of bonds is a defiance of
Congress, and it seems to have been
intended as such. There is nothing in
the financial situation or in the condi-
ton of the Treasury Department which
made it necessary for the President to
negotiate this loan before the repres-
entatives of the people could assemble,
and there would seem to be every rea-
son why the representatives of the
people should be consulted about the
matter. The fair conclusion would
appear to be that the President fear
ed that his policy would be disapprov-
ed if submitted to Congress, and he
desired to assume this authority for
himself at time when hecouid not
be interfered with.

Stin Room For New Lines.

The world still has room for an increased
amount of railroad building The presi-
dent of the Junior Engineering Society of
London, an eminent engineer, gives some
suggestive figures in this direction. He
points out that within the past 40 years the
capital Of British railway companies had
increased from e24S, 100000 to g9l9, 600.
600, or 2TO per cent, and the number of
passengers from 81, 600 600 to S45, 900, 600, or
900 per cent, while the mileage had only
increased 4,500 miles, or 20 per cent. In the
meantime the population had increased
from 81 100000 to IS, 900 900, "A difference oi
II 100000, or 81 per cent. In the great EN-
pire of India they had at present but som,
| 1900 miles of railway; in South Africi
| only about 5000 miles; in Australia, New
| Zealand and Tasmania, about 1900 miles
and in Canada, 1900.
1t was obvious from such figures tha,
only the fringe of railway development had
yet been touched in these huge countries,
while in the vast fields of China and the
remainder of Africa the problem had not
even been reached. The speaker might
have drawn similar conclusions in regard
to the American continent north, central
and south, while even in the United States,
extraordinary as has been its railway devel-
opment, the map shows room for additional
railways to the extent of tens of thousands
Of miles Railway building is still in its
infancy, and its wonderful work of develop
ment will 90 on in generations yet to come

A Thoughtful Wife.

She was pretty shrewd woman, and
she had heard her husband com plain at diff
ferent times about the increasing burdens
from his growing correspondence She half
OWNED his purpose to get a typewriter,
both the machine and the girl, and as he
has an eye for beauty and likes a pretty
face she formed her own plans
What do you have to pay girlt" she
asked.
As he was reading the evening paper in
an absentminded way, he said, "Oh, you
can get real pretty girl for $40 or sl2 a
week"
He had given it all away, but she kept
her counsel until he said he had bought the
machine and would advertise for "A girl
"Oh, no need to do that" she said. II have
girl engaged for you, and she is said to be
the quickest and best shorthand girl il
town. So she had, and the next day tn,
hubby was thunderstruck and all broke er
up when he saw the ancient piece of brio a
brac with side curls that his wife brough
in the next morning. She was bird 70

| And now that wife laughs In the othe

thinks Charley's correspondence will dro
off pretty soon, so that he won't need an
assistance. e.-Cincinnati Tribune.

OLD EARTH OlvEoItO O- WAFER.
The Beds Of the Ocean and Their Peculiar
Formations,

If we could survey our globe divested Of
the vast volume of ice and water that coy
ers so much of its surface, 1t would be al
most like bcholding another world. 1t
would be wonder to see the great depres-
siOns, the Atlantic, the Pacific and the cir
cumpolar valleys, and we should be
brought face to face with many new and
puzzling problems. lnnumerable islands
would be resolved to mountain tops, and
singular plateaus, many of them thousands
of feet high, we would recognize as one
time islands not high above water line
1t is the water surface that is now de-
termining the earth's mean level, and if
this We're gone it would he hard to estab-
lish grade TO calculate from. All our ups
and downs have reference to altitude or
depth with reference to the ocean surface.
What immense valleys would lie between
New York and London, between San Fran
cisco and China What mountain and
valley systems would be disclosed in re
gions that now lie under wateri What
revelations concerning fauna and flora
would the now submerged rocks disclose
and what skeletons of former wovld
would the arctic regions reveal
But the interesting problem which ",
may consider, and one that as yet is elud
were the great marine valleys scooped out
What was it that followed out their ba
sins, and especially by what action wa
the North Polar sea eXcavated with its rim
of continents extending all around9
Greenland, North America, Asia and
Europe all butt up against this polar ocean
It's antipodes is in midocean but the mea-
ger sunlight and consequently absent solar
caloric have evoked the development of
the immense ice cap, much the most CO.
lossal structure of the kind on the planet.
But the south Pacific ocean, were the
water absent, would present most singu-
lar looking craters, and which ms they now
just emerge little above low tide we rec
ognize as the huge astolls the work of
the coral insect, II is more than probable
that some of the puzzlinU crater formations
on the moon are n similar work fashioned
when our lunar satellite had oceans on her
surface as we now see ON our earth. The
thousands of miles of coral reefs and the
numerous coral archipelagoes that dot tn,
aqueous hemisphere under tropical and
semitropical skies would be almost insolu.
BILE problems did we not understand this
conditions under which they were pro
duced,
Much that is mysterious on our lunar
neighbor can be measurably comprehend
ed If we can succeed in seeing our earth
| as If divested of her watery envelope, and
II we can still further succeed In compre
hending the conditions under which oui
oceans would disappear, If they disappear
at all, we would probably have the key
that would unlock each lunar mystery.
1t is to the water and the ice that W,
owe the soil and the generally smooth con
tour of the earth, and we find where thes'
agencies have been at work barren, rocky
and broken condition, well illustrated b!

yons of the west. Pittsburg Dispatch,

NATURE AND cArAcLYsMs.
The Wonderful Rarity and Comparative
smallness Of Great Disasters.


Many are h0lf inclined to accuse Provi-
1ence for allowing great loss Of human life,
forgetting that we are all under capital SEN
tenCc, aud that the occurrence Of deaths
wholesale instead OF ia detail cannot make
much difference in the great scheme, and
many more doubt il Providence does not
leave the world to go its own way and pro
vide for its own needs-a theory which can
not DE strengthened by any individual oc-
turrence. Our reflection would be a differ
tnt oae-the wonderful rarity and compare
| tive snalness of the cataclysms which
Affect man. Outside the effects Of huge
wars, ike the barbarian invasion Of Rome
/ or the Mohammedan conquests audible
history does hot record one, not even the
burning Of Rome which has much affected
the course of events or the happiness of
| mankind
| Behind history, If Sir H. Howorth is right,
| such cataclysms may have occurred, but
within history we know Of none. The very
biggest was probably the outbreak Of the
black death, which ia 134S-jl destroyed a
third of our own population and certainly
deflscted the course Of its social history
! The volcanic outbursts have usually oc-
CURED in thinly populated districts Among
/ capitals only Lisbon has been heavily
struck, and it revived, while, though there
Save been pumberless famnes, no famine
has ever destroyed IA race.
! Wild tribes have passed away, there is
reason to believe, under the attack Of epi-
demics-the people OF Feejee nearly persisted
in our own time-and localities have been
desolated, but no civilized people has died
out through disease Yet there seems no
absolute reason why an epidemic should
not gather strength for months, as it usu-
ally does for weeks, until its ravages de-
stroyed nation, why a storm wave should
not overwhelm n country like Holland, or
why city, or port, or, for that matter, a
vast reach of inhabited territory in harvest
time, should not perish in a fire
Think what masses of inhammable ma
terial we gather together, and how few are
the great fires! How much dynamite is
there stored in London or Liverpool or per
haps unloading ut this very moment in
Cardiff There is hardly limit to what a
fire, or a food, or the cholera might do, and
yet men live on, full of II reasonable secur-
ity born in all of long experience and
strengthened in a few by "a confidence not
| quite so reasonable that Providence will not
suffer huge calamity Providence has
| probably suffered the annihilatioD of
worlds Every now and then the security
is broken by an event like the explosion of
Krakatoa, which has never been sufficient
| ly described, and which might have altered
the face Of the world.-London Spectator.

AOueer Thing About CameIs.

Some years ago when the British
troops were fighting against the forces
of the Mahdi in the Soudan opportu-
nifty was afforded to many of the corre-
spondents accompanying the e~::sdition
to study the habits of the camel. Most
of the transportation of tho soldiers bag
gage was done by these ships Of the
desert, as they are called, and at night
some of the newspaper men spent por-
tiOn of their leisure trying to learn
something new about these strange
creatures.
One of them, who was an inveterate
smoker, discovered that the camel is a
great lover of tobacco. Let any one
smoke "A pipe or cigar in the camel com
pound, said he, and the camel will fol
low the smoker about, place his nose
close to the burning tobacco, inhale the
fumes with prolonged sniff, swallow
the smoke, then throwing his head up,
with mouth agape and eyes upturned,
showing the bloodshot whites, will
glunt "a sigh Of ectasy that would make
the fortune of low comedian in love

Country lawyers are often forced, by
the scarcity of business, to look very
sharp for opportunities to draw up
Wills and perform other illegal" serv.
ices. A stranger of mature years, a
carpenter, who had como to certain
town to work at his trade, was asked
several times by local lawyer II he
did not think he had better make his
will. At last the carpenter took the
delighted lawyer aside and said to
him, with an important air:
II amt quite ready to make my will,
but when am I'll let you do It,"
Good! But now's tho time to draw
1t up!'
"Wcll, the fact is. I've had . dis
agreement with my sister Jane, and l
amt going to leave her cent"
"Goodl But have you any other rel.
atives?"
"Yes-one sister and nephew"
"Good! Any disagreement with
them?"
"None whatever. But l ain't-I'll
tell it to You particular-I amt going
to leave either one of them q cent,
neither!"
"Now why is that, prayT'
because l haven't got . cent to

his departure, and troubled the car.

that Plymouth Rocks are the most
popular of the American breeds. and
am not sure but they are the most
popular of any of the breeds now rec

mean by this that they are the highest
priced, for some OF the newer breeds
are held at much higher prices, but go

with Plymouth Rocks in them. Their
color is great recon mendation, for
the cuckoo or dominique color has al
ways been favorite one with poultry
breeders, but this is not their only rec

are hardy and prolific.
The proper color of Plymouth Rocks
has been the subject of much discus

others that the darker bars should be

HERE AND THERE.

Push the corn-gathering and get IL
all under good shelter.
Fruit trees may be planted until
the soil freezes too hard to work.
The value Of nearly all rough feed
is greatly enhanced by being run
through cutter.
1T will nearly always pay to keer
well shod during the winter.
The fattening hogs should be
pushed this month, as usually much
later than this the cost Of feeding will
be increased.
1T is better to feed little now and
keep the stock in good condition than
to be obliged to feed more later to keep
alive.
The man who invests in fine stock
and neglects to give 1t proper care is
on par with the ne'er-do-well spend
thrift.
Lessen the cost Of feeding as much
as possible by providing comfortable
quarters, feeding regularly and supply
with plenty Of water.
Fowl never become tired of milk;
they may be given too much grain or
too much meat, but they will not eat
nor drink more milk than is good for
them.
Breaking land in the fall is two
fold benefit; it buries all grass and
other trash, thus fastening its decom-
position; and it assists Jack Frost in
putting the soil in a friable condition.
While mulching is often beneficial,
especially to young growing trees and
among the small fruits, 1t should not
be applied until the ground freezes suf.
ficiently hard to bear up wagon.
1t is waste of good feed to turn
stock in to good straw stack or to
scatter fodder or hay upon the ground
The most economical plan is to provide
good feeding racks for feeding all Of
this kind Of material. Even when feed
II cheap it is quite an item to save.
