English Railroad Rates.

There is sufficient evidence to show that
English railway rates, if they have not
been so high as to interfere with the nat
ural development of trade that has in
past years enjoyed redundant prosperity,
have at any rate been notably higher than
the average rates charged on foreign rail
ways. And not only so, but while the rates
on other systems have been more or less re-
duced of late years English railway rates
have remained comparatively unaltered.
Reductions have, no doubt, been made
considerable area, but the railway compa-
MES adhere to their established principle of
charging as much as the traffic will bear,
which means in a good many instances fully
as much as they can get compatibly with
keeping the traffic alive. 1t is this admitted
practice which has led to species of revolt
on the part of large bodies of traders, which
has evolved the Manchester ship canal, and
which has now for many years past threat
ened the evolution of other canals designed
to provide transport between the midlands
and the sea, as well as the revival Of the
whole canal system of the country, in active
competition with railway lines.
The railways again plead the high eff
cheney of the service they render, and for
this, no doubt, they are entitled to all
praise; but, to use an aphorism of the late
Lord BeacOnsfield, you are not likely to
allay the pangs of hunger by RECALLING your
guest with bottle of MaraschinO.-Fort-

COnscienceless NeWsbOys.

A couple of thoroughly disreputable
newsbOys, who suppose will some day sit
In an electrocution chair and deserve their

est boy ever saw. He doesn't seem to be
more than a foot high. He is dressed in

Apparently he is in business on his own &C
count, and dozens of people, amused at his

him.
They don't want the papers, but the little
imp presents such comical appearance
that he is irresistible. Those who don't
buy will hand him nickel or dime may
be out of compassion, thinking that it must
be hard family fate indeed that has driven
one so young to peddling.
The real things that have driven the boy
to do what he does are the pair of urchins
outside. They wait patiently until the
small child reappears, and then they take
all the money he has made. To prevent
him from cheating them they search his
pockets, make him open his mouth to show
that there is no coin concealed there, and
examine his fists. So well does the scheme
pay that the syndicate doesn't have to sell
single paper, being able to make a good
enough living off the youngster.

learned that the small child receives only a
few cents worth of candy day for his
labor.-New York Herald.

Defiant Son of Arkansaw.

Colonel T. l.. Frea told a good story at
the Lindell recently. 1t smacked strongly
of the early days of Arkansas, when trav-
elers were supposed to have fled from justice
in the states to find refuge inside the
boundaries of Arkansas.
"a lot of us were sitting in the barroom
of the old Pickwick hotel" said the
colonel, land some of us were about ready
for bed AS there was only one sleeping
room and at least dozen guests were to be
accommodated, there was considerable
grumbling. Part of the men went to bed
and the rest of us lighted our pipes and
drew up to the fire. The conversation be-
gan by the statement of one man, who said
he was a native of New York. Another
gave the place of his nativity as Virginia,
another Illinois, and so on until all but one
man had given the state and county where
his birth occurred. Upon the declaration
of each that he was born in certain state,
some one was ready with a good story to
illustrate the character and habits of its
people
Ex-Governor Throckmorton of Texas
acted as chairman or class leader, and the
last man seemed reluctant to divulge the
secret of his birthplace. Throckmorton
said to the silent guest, My friend, we
have all given in our testimony, and the
company would be glad to know where you
were born
"'Well, gentlemen, since you are so anx-
ious to know, l was born in Arkansas
Now, hang you, laughP
1.-THE roars of laughter following this adj
mission were deafening, and Throckmorton
ordered quart of the best bourbon in the
house, which we finished in honor of our
Arkansas friend" st. Louis Republic.

FireprOOf Buildin gS.

Scarcely week goes by that one or an
other of the journals devoted to architec-
ture does not contain some article by ex-
perienced and able writer's bearing upon
the fireproofing of buildings, and without
doubt there could be formulated from these
articles a system of principles that would
be thoroughly efficient to meet the require
ments. In the attempt to discover right
principles the advice and assistance of the
now noted fireproOfng companies should
not be neglected. The demand was no
sooner created for a science of fireprOOfing
than it was Immediately met by the forma-
ton of companies for the purpose of sup
plying it. The new industry, with expert
ence as it's teacher, has developed year by
year until at the present moment there is
not a first class architect or engineer in the
country who will deny that an absolutely
fireproof building can be built and at a
reasonable cost.
Yet fires of the most disastrous character
are constantly occurring in buildings adj
vertised by their owners as ireprOof 1t is
not surprising, therefore, that large ele-
ment, probably vast majority, of the en-
tire community doubt the possibility OF
constructing an absolutely fire proof build
ing 1t is an incontrovertible fact that ev-
cry fire which has taken place in fire
proof building has been due to the indis-
criminate use of cOmbustible material in
it's construction Moreover, it may be dem
onstrated that fireproof material could have
been substituted for the material burned at
a cost not exceeding 20 per cent.-Engineer-
ing Magazine.

Compared to the Washington of today,
the city 40 years ago was very shabby. !

A gentleman who became tired of waiting
for family coach that was to take him in

hotel to the market place and found the

something moving under his feet, and, 10! it

Animals In Fire.

When Cyprus was the center of the cop
per industry, it is asserted that 4footed
animal with wings lived in the hottest fur
naces among the fire, and furthermore that
it would die instantly upon being removed
from it's natural element, the flames. The
salamander of old was also creature which
did not dread the fire. Some say that it
could eat fire and spit flames; others that
it's breath would ignite all combustibles.
Pliny says, This animal is so intensely
cold as to extinguish fire by it's contact, in
the same way that ice doth. st. Louis Re
