This misfortune, however, did not

In pity for the noble beast the railway
employees have adopted him, and at
their expense he is cared for in the
vicinity of the depot, where he is re-
garded, along with the station agent
and baggageman, as part of the sta

master a dogs welcome, if he ever re-
turns, no one doubts who contemplates
his eager looks as he hears the whistle
and rumble of an approaching train.

plantations are either financially inde-.
pendent already or rapidly becoming
so. For the most part their residences
front on the river or the lake, and long,
narrow piers run out from their yards
to deep water. In the rear of the resi-
dences the Jacksonville, st. Augustine

borders of the plantations or cuts them
in two, thus affording very convenient
transportation for the pines" to the
northern and western markets. The
houses are all comfortably furnished,
and in many instances the furnishings

are alike fond of boating, hunting
and fishing, and rifles, fishing tackle
and other sporting paraphernalia are
always conspicuous in the wide, airy
halls or on the broad porches, which
usually skirt three sides of the houses.
The style of architecture is generally
picturesque and always suited to the,
climate and the surroundings. There.
are many bungalows, and viewed from

posures and completely surrounded by

The desert wastes of New Mexico

clover, the growth of which is aston
ishingly rapid and field of which will
yield several crops in a season. Its
foots are said to go far down in search
of moisture, sometimes to a depth of
eighteen to twenty feet, and its nutri-
tious properties and the avidity with
which stock eat it are we'll known.

TURPIN'S GREAT GUN.
Realizes Hilton's Description of
Satan's Engine of Death.
It Can Throw Seventy-Five Shots Each
Minute Over a Distance of Two
Miles-The French Genius
Who Invented Il.

In European military circles at the
present time the one absorbing ques'
ton is: Is the new engine of destruc-
ton invented by NJ. Turpin as formid-
able as il seems to be? While being
enabled, thanks to the courtesy of one
of our ambassadors. says the Naval
Military Record of England, to present
a rough sketch of this terrible de-
stroyer of life, let us say few words
about the inventor. He is still a very
young man and has remarkable past.
He it was who, nine years ago, in
vented the smokeless powder, which
has already been adopted by every
country in the world as the only pos
sible prOpelling force of the future.
Later on his researches in chemistry,
and particularly in picric acid, enabled
him to evolve melinite, for describing
the constituents of which at length in
a French paper he was cast into prison
by NJ. de Freycinet and kept immured
for nearly two years and six months,
during which time he wrote a remark
able treatise on the stars that at once
ranks him with our leading astrono-
mers. r.... -.9f....
M. Turpin eventually, through some
newspaper friends, obtained hearing
outside his prison walls, and when
France came to find out how bitterly
he was being prosecuted because in re-
atty he had spoken too plainly of the
bribery and corruption running riot
through the French government and
its immediate coadjutors, there was q
loud cutlery and he was released.
From that moment NJ. Turpin, an
astronomer, an inventor, a chemist and
an engineer-perhaps one might also
add, q genius-has been devising an
engine of war which one might well
designate as internal, since it puts one
in mind Of that mighty machine de-
vised by Satan in Millions Paradise

Marine if dreams were "a sign of any
thing?" he replied: Eyes, sign that
the dreamer was only about half
asle-p, when some vague ideas fitted

actly contrary to the above was once
expressed by DR.. Tanner, the faster.
When asked if he had not dreamed of
feasts during his long fast, he replied:
THE fact is, did not dream at all,
simply because l had no sound sleep

that, because had hoped to make u

RAILROADS IN AMERICA.
Their Total Capital, Debts, Stocks, Bonds
and Dividends.

In speech delivered in the United
States senate a few days ago, Senator
Call, of Florida, drew attention to the
fact that not less than five million men,
women and children were dependent
for their livelihood upon continued en-
ployment in the service of railroad cor
pOratiOns of the United States. No
European government, however des-
potic, he declared. had control of an
army of one million men, the total
number Of railroad employees being put
by the Florida senator at one million.
Railroad investments. it is popularity
supposed, yield. very large return, but
the fact is that. taking the country
through and adopting the frurcs of an
ordinary year, it is found that money
invested in railroads does not yield a
sum so great as to inspire the cupidity
of an investor seeking very large re-
turns. The total fund Of debt of all
American railroads in the year 1892
amounted to GSEs63, 100000. -Four and
one-haif per cent. on this figure of
gross bonded { indebtedness would
amount to S245, 100000, whereas these
railroads paid collectively in that year
S222, 100000 on their bonded indebted
ness, or an average of AZ per cent,
taking n favorable year for such com
parsons, and not one like the past
year, during which by default upon
bonded interest so many American
railways have been thrown into re-
ceivers hands. r.:n ... III
During the year 1898 seventy-five
American railroads, operating $4,000
miles and having a gross bonded in
debtedness of 1,212 100000, went into
receivers hands and have defaulted on
their principal payments, so that this
years net returns from railroads to
bondholders will fall short of AZ per
cent. and will not attain higher aver
age than 81. 1t is also to be remem-
bered that those bond$vhich regularly
pay interest as it accrues sell at pre-
MUM beyond the nominal value, a
thoroughly guaranteed 'gf1t-edged"
four per cent. bond selling at a pre-
MUM of 25 per cent.
The gross amount of capital stock Of
all American railroads has more than
doubled during the past twelve years
and now amounts to $1,000, 900, 900.
The total dividends paid on the capital
stock of American railroads amounted
in 1891 to 500, 900, 900 and in 1892 to SS3,-
100000. Two per cent. on the total
capitalization would be 500, 200, 900, and

How Charity Girls Are Given in Maria ga
to Deserving Italian Peasants.
At the far end of Naples lies the lit.
,, tle church of Santa Maria Annunziata,
which, once year, on the day of Our
Lady, wakes up into a brief life and
excitement. In silent row before a
high altar kneel thirty girls, all in
black garments, with folded hands,
and eyes fixed on the picture of the
Madonna before them.
These are orphans from the neigh
boring founding asylum, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, and once a year
those who have reached the age of
eighteen are brought here to the church
and may be chosen in marriage by any
honest man whose papers are in order
and whose character is good. At the
door leading to the sacristy leans a
gray-haired priest, the head of the asy-
lum. BY and by young man makes
his way from the back of the church and
hands him a packet of papers. These
the priest reads carefully, and, being
satisfied, he gives them back and leads
the candidate toward the row of girls.
Their eyes are fixed more steadfastly
than ever on the altar, their hands are
clasped tighter together, their faces
turn a shade paler, their hearts beat
quicker as the young man walks slowly
along the row. At last he stops; his
choice is made. He stretches out his
hand with little smile.
The girl rises, casts long look, half
thanks, half entreaty, at the picture
of the Madonna, puts her hand into
that of the stranger, and together they
disappear into the sacristy. The ice
being thus broken, other suitors come
forward.
