Italx,s Unavoidable Railways.

The Corriere della Sea has just pub
lished an article on the Italian rail
ways which says that, "out Of the GO
lines worked by the Mediterranean COM
pany, there are 20 which are worked at
a loss and some whose expenses amount
to more than twice as much as their re-
ceipts. Many of these lines-the princi-
pal ones indeed--are now 8 or 20 years
old, AID get are always in this disas-
trous condition. The investment of cap
ital here is disastrous, because instead
of gaining interest the investor has to
make continual grave sacrifices Of money
without even any indirect benefit to the
regions were the lines pass. And what
is said of the Mediterranean company
may be said of all the companies of
Italy"
To this dark picture 1 will only add
that the railway debt of Italy is nearly
8 milliards, and that the annual railway
deficit is not less than 200, 900, 900 lire,
or more than the actual cost of the
army, which, when the expenses of pub
lie security are deducted, is only about
100, 100000.

Milking Reindeer.

The process of milking herd of rein
deer is singular, and we have often
watched it with interest, especially when
after long tramp Scross the fields we
looked forward to share of it ourselves.
Attended by the sharp nosed Lapland
dogs, the herd appears, its members
packed closely together and forming a
compact mass, in which the horns are
prominent feature. As they approach
nearer, one hears a granting exactly like
swine, and a curious, cracking sound,
produced by the contact of innumerable
horns and limbs. They are then driven
into an inclosure, each animal is lassoed
in its turn over the horns and dragged
up to an erection i'll the middle, where
it is MIXED. The quantity afforded by
each is only about as much as would
fill claret glass, but the milk is ex-
tremely rich and nourishing. Black

A Strange Discovery In Africa.

Unlocked for things have been found
in unlikely places, but there has proba-
bly, been no discovery more remarkable
than that of Balzac's dressing gown in
the possession Of the king of DahOmey.
Monarchs are rarely literary, and his
dusky majesty, one would think, was
the very last Of them to have set much
value upon the personal relic Of a novel
list, however distinguished. Nevertheless
the French found it in the royal apart
ment at Abomey. There were some in
genious theories founded upon this Cir
cumstance. One of the amazons, it was
thought, might have been a novel read
er and had sent to Paris to secure the
interesting memento, and on the affair
coming to the knowledge of her sover-
eign had fastened to say she had pur-
chased it for his own shoulders, for in
deed he always wore it upon state occa-
sions. 1t was not a dressing gown such
as literary persons in this country are
wont to wear of second class flannel
worn at the edges-but of purple velvet
embroidered with gold. AS matter of
fact, it had been given to Balzac by
some of his admirers, and after his
death had been bought by dealer in
curiosities, who had placed it, with 9TH
er snowy articles, on the west African
market. 1t is sad to think how plain
tale will put down''-that is, destroy
the materials of fine romance

A PauDer Veteran.

Henry Smith, who, with his dearly
beloved silver medal always pinned to
the breast of his coat, has for years been
a conspicuous figure in this village, hay
ing been left alone in the world by the
death of his wife, and, owing to his
crippled condition, being no longer able
to earn subsistence, will spend the rest
of his days in the Genesee county poor
house. He is veteran of the Crimean
war and bears the scars of wounds re-
ceived at Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman
and Sevastopol. He served all through
that war in the famous Grenadier
guards.
He was a witness of the historic charge
Of the Light brigade. Tie medal he
wears is one Of those presented to the
ungazetted heroes of the Crimean cam
paign by the British government for
gallantry in the four battles named, the
medal being surmounted by four bars,
each bar representing battle, with the
respective inscriptions Alma, Balakla-
va, Inkerman and Sevastopol upon
them. -Morganville On. " Dispatch.

A Joke on Congressman Blair.

Some wicked persons played joke
upon the Hon. Henry W. Blair of New
Hampshire the other day by inducing a
member Of the cold Homestead" COM
pany to dress up in his stage clothes and
go to the capitol. He carried an old
fashioned genuine carpetsack in his
hand and a bingham umbrella. The
doorkeeper was much amused when he
took in his card, and Mr.. Blair was as
tonished when he saw the garments of
his visitor. The latter represented him
self to be from the town of Nashua, N.
H., and said that when Mr.. Blair was
there last he had invited him to come
down to Washington and make him a
Visit. OF course Mr.. Blair had been in
Nashua many times and realized that
he might have invited some Of his con-
stituents in that place to pay him visit
at Washington, but he could not iden-
tify this particular constituent and be-
gan to ask questions The actor endured
the ordeal perfectly well, as he was IA
miliar with the locality, and the con-
gresham, who did not suspect anything,
might have been entertaining an actor
unawares but for the tittering of some
newspaper men who had been let into
the secret and were watching the inter-
view. The good natured congressman
admitted that it was an excellent make
up and very good joke. Chicago Rec

Europe's Indebtedness.

The statistics relative to the expendi-
ture of the chief European countries
upon their armies and navies become
more significant when it is remembered
that the money thus spent is borrowed
money. OF all the European govern
ments that of England is the only one
which, so to speak, is paying its way.
The remainder are living on loans. As
a consequence they are all augmenting
their national debts. Between 1870 and
1887 the national debt of France was
increased by ~, 200, 600 francs that Of
Russia by 1000, 900, that of Italy by
3,132, 900, 900, that of Austria Hungary
by 4,O19, 600, 600, that of Germany by
something like the same sum, that of
Spain by l, 800, 900, 900 aud so ON. Even
the smallest states are heavy borrowers,
Belgium having added almost as much
to her obligations as Spain, while the
Roumanian debt has been augmented to
the extent of 701, 900, 900, that of Ser
via to the extent of PA, 600, 600 and
that of Greece to the extent of 27O, 0OO,-

DISCOVERY IN CONSUMPTION.
What Dyspepsia has to do with it.


1t is, to say the least. peculiar, that all
consumptives suffer from dyspepsia. Dys-
pepticS are not always cOnsumptiyeS, but
don't cure their dyspepsia.
Dyspepsia is more like consumption than
any other disease known. 1t is in fact, one
of the most fruitful causes of consumption.
The dyspepsia in consumption is as dan
gerous as the lung trouble.
There are no drugs known that will cure
the dyspepsia of consumption or enable
patients to properly digest their food, aud
thus gain flesh except PaSkola, which is a

approach to perfect food fer dyspeptics
that can be got. The starch in Paskola,
being already digeSted, is absorbed almost
as soon as it is swallowed. Its fruit fer

An AppReyed Criticism.

Stuart labored under one rather an
noying disadvantage while painting a
portrait of Washington, a disadvantage
which has become historic, and which
arose from the circumstance of Wash
ington s i'll fitting set of false teeth.
AS Stuart said, "When painted him,
he had just had set Of false teeth in
serted, which accounts for the con-
strained expression so noticeable about
the mouth and the lower part Of the
face F."
Enough has been made of this, and
more than enough. There is even an
anecdote about Stuart having persuaded
his famous sitter to stuff cotton in his
mouth while he was being painted.
Miss Jane Stuart gives the following
amusing account of narrow escape Of
her father:
"While talking one day with Gen
eral Lee my father happened to remark
that Washington had tremendous tenn
per, but held it under wonderful con-
troll
General Lee breakfasted with the
president and Mrs. Washington few
days afterward.
"'I saw your portrait the other day, >
said the general, but Stuart says you
have tremendous temper.
Upon my word, said Mrs. Wash
ington, coloring, Mr.. Stuart takes
great deal upon himself to make such
a remark'
But stay, my dear lady, said Gen
eral Lee. He added that the president
had it under wonderful control.
"With something like smile Gen
eral Washington remarked, He is
right. New England Magazine,

IRVING ON INDIVIDUALITY.
Substance of the Actors Address Before the
Harvard Students.


There is usually, if not always, gen.
eral as we'll as a special truth or excel
lence in every great and spontaneous eff
fort, and the result which sprang from
the power and genius of Daniel Web
ster or Patrick Henry or Abraham Lin
coin is to be won by others in greater
or less degree by similar means But it
must always be borne in mind that
merely to initiate is not to apply sim
liar method. If any one of you have
great thoughts or burning passion, you
will need to copy no style or to limit
yourself to no method. Your thoughts
will find their way to the hearts of 9TH
ers as surely as the upland waters burst
their way to the sea. In fine, the gray
est of all the lessons that art can teach
is this: That truth is supreme and eter-
nal. No phase of art can achieve much
on a false basis Sincerity, which is the
very touchstone of art, is instinctively
recognized by all There were never
truer and wiser words spoken than those
of old Polonius:
To thine own self be true,
And it must follow as the night the day
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
But how can a man be true to him
self if he does not know himself? ''Know
thyself" was a wisdom of the ancients.
But how can man know himself if he
mistrusts his own identity and if he
puts aside his special gifts in order to
render himself an imperfect similitude
of some one else?
Do not try to wrest from the future
the birthright of some other by the trick
of Esau's hairy hands. The blindness
of Isaac was a type as well as a reality,
for the world may be blind to one sense,
as that father was, but to it, as to him,
there remain other senses which blind
ness cannot mar. The voice will betray,
though the touch may deceive. There
fore ask you to weigh well the advan-
tages which may present themselves to
you before you try to part with, to min
imize or to forego in any way your own
individuality. Study it without being
egotistic, and understanding the weak
places shun their temptations and try
to protect yourself by added strength.
Knowing yourself, you may learn to
know others, and so in process Of time
you will both consciously and uncon-
sciously learn those abiding principles
Of human nature and Of human charac-
ter which add to the knowledge and the
progress of the world. New York Ad
