The Jungfrnu Railway.

The capital for the building of the
Jungfrau railway is to consist of
100000 of francs-5,000,0O0 in shares
and 100000 in obligations. OF this
capital several millions have already
been deposited at the large banks.
Plans for the first section of the rail
way are finished, and 1t is supposed
that next month the laying of that por-
ton of the line from Scheidegg to Ell
gergestscher will be begun. and in
three months be nearly completed. In
view of the undertaking of the build
ing Of the Jungfrau railway, artists
in all branches of art are busy with
views of the neighborhood of the Jung
frau group of mountains for the &C.
ncva national exhibition.

A Cycle Storage Headlight.

One of the latest inventions for
cyclists is a small headlight lamp,
which is very simple and convenient.
The lamp itself weighs only about an
ounce and a half, and it is readily at
tached and detached from the front of
the cap.
A small storage battery of about
eight hours capacity is carried on the
bicycle or in the riders pocket, and
connected with it is u body wire,
which leads TO the back of the cap.
The lamp is specially suited to it's
purpose, for it is really a search-light,
being always focused in the direction
IN which the rider looks. It's being at
tached to the visor of the cap secures
this advantage. The eyes of the rider
are thoroughly protected, because the
lamp rests upon the top of the visor.
AS it Eliminates the way much better
than an ordinary oil lamp, IT is sure
to add to the safety and pleasure of
bicycle riding at Observation-Disclosures
Times.

No Use for IN pio,.

A Milford Conn man had occasion
to take his pig to George Tsbell's
place, on New Haven turnpike. recent
ly. On the way there he became tired
and lay down on the roadside to sleep.
The pig lay down, too, but did not
sleep. Instead, she ate a portion Of
his coat and trousers. When Dorsey
awoke it was too late for his purpose,
so he tied the pig where it was and
came home. Yesterday he went after
her. During the night she chewed the
rope with which she had beer tied ard
started for the swamp. When she got
there she went in up to her neck in
mud. Dorsey went after her. Three
hours after some men heard faint
calls for help, and found the pig sit
ting on what appeared to be an ami
mated log. The log was Dorsey. who
had fallen down in the mud and the
pig had mounted him to keep out of
the mire. The men got him out and
took him, with the pig, home. All Me-
mortal bridge Dorsey threw the ami
NAL into the river.

Other Suns than Ours.

If III sun could be as. far removed
from us as are the seven stars, It
would hardly be visible in an opera
glass, yet there are sixty or seventy
such groups as the pleiades in sight
every night, each group being COM
posed of scores of uns larger and
more brilliant than that which makes
life in our world possible.
AlcyOne is a sun 1000 times more
brilliant than our 'Orb of day" and
Electra and Mala are each 500 times
larger than Old Sol. Several of these
immense SUI groups taken collective
ly and not reckOned on the basis of in
dividual members) are believed to be
as much as 10000, 900, 900 miles in
diameter. If this calculation is not at
fault, it would take light sever years
to flash from one extreme of such a
group to the other.

WITHOUT
a Railroad Should BE Built to Be
Absolutely Safe,

A serious trouble, causing many
railway accidents, is that our rail is
not continuous, being broken in Il
number of places by switches and
frogs. Perhaps only a higher wisdom
than ours can tell us how to avoid ac-
cidents caused by open switches, as
long as these dangerous devices are
not eliminated from the track. This
should be done, even if the cost of
otherwise setting off the cars be more
expensive. Let us make our rails alb
solutely continuous and transfer cars
bodily to adjacent tracks by the use
of hosting machinery. Such devices
are used in England-of course, under
the control Of a block system-and are
found very safe and satisfactory.
Particularly should tracks on which
very fast trains are run be made con
tinuOus, as accidents on such rains
are more serious than those that hap

~CONFUCIAN MISSIONARY.
A Teacher of Chinese Morality Set
tied In This Country.

A Teacher of Chinese Morality Set-
tied In This Country.
Some months ago the Chinese minis
ter at Washington made a visit to
this city for the purpose of looking
into the condition of his countrymen.
He perceived that they were well
supplied with joss houses, but sadly
in need of moral instruction. Accord
ingly he caused a hall to be hired in
the Chinese quarter and appointed a
man learned in the doctrines of Con-
fucius to give lectures on moral prac-
tees to such as would care to come
and hear.
A hall was secured for this purpose
at IA Mott street, up two flights of
stairs. On one side of the room is
posted a notification issued by the
Chinese consul of this city informing
his countrymen of the new course
of lectures; on the opposite side is
the Chinese text of the immigration
treaty recently concluded between
China and the United States.
The lecturer appointed by the mis-
sionary is Chu-Yang-Kow. He is a
thin-faced man, with a pale, sickly
NoiiBlCAloh, 81 SllSI III SlOoD III Ills SlOul-
derS and a few struggling hairs on
his upper lip. Though he has been in
this country over fifteen years he can
not speak a word of English. His
couptrymen hold him in high esteem.
On the platform he wears the full
dress of a Chinese g~entleman-a long,
flowing robe reaching down to the
ankles, with a shorter coat Over it,

ton on top.
1t was at first intended that a lee
ture should be given every Sunday
and Monday and the first and fif-
teenth days of every Chinese month,
for most l%aundrymen do not work
Sundays and Mondays and the first
and fifteenth days of the month stand
with the Chinese nearly as Sunday
does with the Christian people. But
the Woodworking laundrymen do not
care to listen to more than one dry
sermon a week, and the only meeting
that is now held is on Sunday. The
lecture is confined to sixteen topics.
These are the Sacred Command
ments,' so called from the fact that
they are the effusions of an imperial
mind. Here are some of them:
PAY special attention to filial and
fraternal duties, in order to give due
importance to the relations of society.
LET peace abound among neighbors
in order to put a stop to disputes and
litigations.
Encourage frugality and economy
| with a view to the saving Of money
and expenses.
Put down heretical doctrines, with
a view to eXalt the orthodox faith.
illustrate the principles of propri-
ETY. and courtesy, with the view of
improving the manners and customs of
the people.
LET everybody attend to his W
calling, to the end that the people of
| the whole country may live in settled
contentment."
These apothegms were first given to
the world by kang-hi, the second
emperor of the present dynasty. They
are regarded as containing In a small
compass the fundamental principles
of Chinese society and government

Golden Rod.

Look for the first golden rod in or
near swamps. 1t blooms in the rich,
damp earth some time before the
blossoms appear on the dry roadsides.
There are eighty different varieties i'll
the United States. The 1at-top is Of
ten taken for tansy. The dusty var
iety with bright yellow flowers, is
found in fields. the blue-stemmed sort
in woodlands. The Sweet-Smellfng
species Is easily recognized by it's
bright satiny, and fragrant leaves.
The silver rod is interesting, and not
so much known as it's golden sister.
1t bears a whitish flower and it be-.
longs to the same family. In flower
language golden rod means encour-
agement.-New York Times.

NEWS OF L1NCoLN,s DEATH.
How 1t Was Received by the Adj

vance of Sherman's Army.
Nichols, one of the chief medical
hiicers of Shermsn's army at the time
of the surrender of Gen. Joe Johnston,
lives In this city. In speaking of the
correspondence between Gen. w. T.
Sherman and Gen. Joe Johnston, as to
the terms of the latter's surrender. DR..
Nichols tells of a dramatic incident.
Il was with Gen. Logan he said. lin
the advance columns sen out by Sher-
man. We went into camp thirteen
miles from Raleigh. No one knew
what would happen next day. That
night | sat with Logan and other Off
GERS outside of our tents. We smoked
and specialized as to what would be
done on the following day. Gen. To-
gan told us that the morrow might
bring us plenty of business, us, in
case of a fight, the brunt of it would
fall on his command. We turned in,
expecting stirring events the next
day. but not of the nature which were
realized. In the ea1ly morning of that
day i was sitting outside of my tent
when a courier rode up. His horse
was nearly spent, so hard had the
rider punished the animal. Evidently
be bore important dispatches.
HE hurriedly inquired for Gen. Lo-
gan. The courier handed him an en-
evlope. The general tore it open, read
the message and exclaimed: My
God" He rushed to the tent of his
adjutant, who also uttered an excla-
nation of surprise. AS both men
emerged from their tent their faces
were pallid. What's the matter?' /
asked. Lincoln is killed. was the re-
ply, and don't you breathe a word of
it to anyone The general feared if
the troops learned the news they
might be so enraged as to ignore disci-
pine and fall on Johrston's troops,
near by, in revenge. This will make
a difference he said, referring to the
tragedy. Very soon word was received
frcm Johnston indicating that he had
received the Jews of Lincoln's death
Utmost at the same time of it's receipt
by Sherman's officers. Shortly after
ward the surrender to Sherman was
completed. 1t was a critical time for
the Union commands rs. Had the news
of Lincoln's assassination leaked out
among the troops prematrrely there is
no telling what dire results might
have followed. 1 shall never forget
the anxiety Of the moment. And it
has always been a question to my
mind as to how Gen. Johnston got the
news almost as early as we did."-San
Diego (Cal.) Letter to Chicago Times.

Something for CRnOefsts.

The supplies that a %canoeist takes
with him in his boat should consist
of a few pounds of sugar, a box Of
salt, three or four pounds of coffee in
a tin box with a close-fitting screw top,
some bacon, a pound of tea, a couple
Of jars Of marmalade or jam, a tin
of deviled ham, and a pound or two
of pilOt-bread or bareback. There will
be lots of places along the course OF
your cruise where you will be able to
replenish these stores should they run
short, and at the villages you pass
you can secure fresh meat if you care
for it or are skilful enough cook to
prepare it. Always have a line and
some tish-hocks with you, for a can
oeist should be a good fisherman.
AS to the cruise itself, it should be
carefully planned beforehand. Never
start off with only a general idea OF
where you want to go. 1t is q bad
thing to trust to luck in canoeing.
Plan your trip so that you will start at
the head of some river, or as neal the
head as you can find good water, and
cruise down. Don't attempt TO cover
too great a distance in one day.
Twenty five miles a day Is enough,
and is more than you will care to
make if most if it has to be padded.
Further-never hurry. Take plenty of
time to fish, battle, land, visit the
country, and eat your meals regularly.
If you have only a certain number of
days to devote to your cruise, lay out
the distance you must cover each day.
and try to stick to your schedule as
closely as camping grounds will al
low. Keep a record of your adven-
lures in IL log-book; this will prove
not only interesting but valuable in
the future.-Harper's Round Table.
