Twenty thousand dollars was paid

Railroads Save Up the Scraps and
Sell Them to Junk Dealers.
Very few people realize how much
the railroads throughout the country
make in scrap iron every year, or, in
other words, how much is saved on the
Part of the companies by the disposal
of old iron to junk dealers. As in every.
phase of railroading, there is even a.
system of gathering and disposing or
scrap, not only on local lines but on
roads everywhere as well. The matterl
is virtually under the direction of the
supervisors of all the divisions, Whoi
see that the scrap is gathered up clean-l
IN over their portion of the track at
Regular intervals, and shipped wherever.
it can be disposed of. The railroads
realize that it pays to look after the.
scrap, and those lines which let the old,
rails rust and wear away are the losers
The Pennsylvania Railroad and the
Pennsylvania lines west watch the
scrap iron question more carefully than
other local roads.
In speaking of the matter recently to
a Pittsburg Post reporter well-known
official of the Fort Wayne said: "The
life of rail on the Pennsylvania lines
is about eleven years, and on the Penn
sylvania Railroad only nine years. The
difference is due perhaps to heavier
traffic on the Pennsylvania Railroad
The friction of constantly passing
trains wears on the rail until it must be-
replaced by q new one The company
pays $24 per ton, and the rails used on
our lines average eighty-fve pounds to
the yard. When it has passed its use
full stage the rail is taken out by the
supervisor and replaced The old rails
that are taken out from time to time
are gathered up every month and
brought into the city, where they are
sold to junk and scrap dealers at $12
per ton. 1t can readily be seen that the
company pays only $12 for the use Of
rails per ton. The price received from
the scrap man is a good figure, when it,
is known that the rails, when sold, are
of no use to the company. Rails that
are not much worn are sold to factories
along the road at $1S per ton, where
they are used for sidings, and answer
the purpose quite as well as the new
rails. There are many uses to which
the old rail is put. A great amount of
barbwire fencing is made of railroad
iron, and very often the rails are used
as foundations for slarge buildings.
There are not many people who know
that the Masonic Temple in Chicago
rests on a foundation of steel rails.
layer upon layer, six feet deep. The
rails form only small proportion of
the scrap which is gathered from roads
every year In addition, wornout car
wheels, coupling pins, and broken parts
of machinery go into the junk Dealers
hands. A failure to carefully watch
the scrap iron question would result in
great loss to the, company"

CARE OF THE EYES.
The Whites Indicate Habits and State
of Health.

of Health.
Psychologists write learned volumes
about the delicate structure of the eye
and pious people write pious articles
about the pleasures of sight. Women
read the volumes and the articles,
acquisece cordially, and go on reading
in the trains, sewing on black by gas
light, doing fine embroidery, studying
all night and generally abusing their
eyes. Then they take to the oculist
and eyeglasses
The first step in caring for the eyes
is to use them but sparingIy. The
strain of steady and continuous work
cannot fail to be injurious. The wom-
an who is obliged to use her eyes stead
lily must give them frequent, even if
brief, vacations. If she has to write
all day, if she sews continuously, she
should give her eyes minute resting
spells every two or three hours Drop
ping her work, closing her eyes and
keeping them closed for even so brief
a period will rest not only the eyes but
the brain, and work will be easier and
more inspiring afterwards. The wom-
an who is obliged to use her eyes all
day in her business should not nse them
any more than is necessary in the even
ing. Fine sewing, reading and writing
should be entirely tabooed.
Very hot water is very beneficial to
the sight if it is rightly applied. 1t
cOunteractS any tendency to infamma-
ton, and rests and relaXes the mus
cles about the eyes. IT should be ap-
piled not merely against the lids, but
to the eyes themselves. A soft cloth
should be dipped in hot water, wrung
out slightly, and applied to the eyes.
eyes by the hand. Five minutes of the
hot water treatment at the close of
days work, followed by five minutes
of rest with closed eyes, will do won
ders toward refreshing the tired sight
When a person is in state of health
and vigor, the whites of the eyes are
blush in color and very clear. When
the system is run down, the blood dis
ordered, or the stomach in poor con-
dition, the whites of the eyes are yel-
lowish. The whites of over-strained
eyes, Of eyes that are not closed in
sleep long enough each night, and of
eyes that are given to looking upon
wine when it is red and other glitter
ing things are bloodShot. As q usual
thing the whites of the eyes are an ex-
cellent index to the habits and health
of q man or q woman.

Dogs and Their Playthings.

The dog, the greatest friend of man,
is known to emulate the virtues and
even the vices of mankind; but few
would suspect the intelligent and state
ly Newfoundland dog of as great a love
of playthings as any child for dolls.
An owner of as splendid a Newfound-
land as ever gladdened the heart of
Landseer, records the fact that it was
intensely fond of it's playthings.
It was in the orchard, said this dogs
master, that it usually found its play
things and conveyed them to its sane
tum. These consisted chiefly of sar-
dine tins, balls, flower pots, chunks of
wood, ct cetera; but the prime favorite
of all it's possessions was large tea
kettle. This it would bark to and play
with for hours. By day it kept it in a
corner of its stall and carried apples to
it from the orchard. At night it sleeps
close to the doggie's side, sometimes
quite buried up with straw.
1t was clear that there was nothing
half so sweet in life to this Newfound-
land dog as that old black KETTLE as
any one soon discovered on making
any attempt to deprive it Of its loved
plaything.

She was beautiful; their attachment
had lasted several years; pecuniary
causes had delayed their union; but on
the following day they were to be mar
ried. For long time the lover, pro-

hind him, covering her with his own
person, sustained her strength and
courage. But the tumult, the cries.

found that his advice had been follow

he loved redoubled his ardor and
strength. He resisted the most yfo-.
lent conclusions; with his arms firmly
extended before his breast, he with
difficulty forced his way through the
crowd. At length he cleared 1t. Ar

place, having set down his precious
burden, faltering exhausted, fatigued

son! Another, more active, had taken
advantage of his recommendation. His
beloved was no more!

1t Is an Unostentat.ous Charity


A belated stranger in New York, pass
ing down Broadway IN the ''wee sha'
hours" was surprised the other night
at seeing long line of gaunt and tat
tered men standing shivering in the
cold at 10th street.
'sWhat are all these poor wretches
doing here at this hour?" he asked a
policeman.
They're waiting for bread, was the
reply. That's one of New York's least
known but most serviceable charities.
The bakers across the way there give
a loaf of fresh bread free to every one
who asks for it at this hour. They've
done it for years, and it's done world
of good, for the men who stay out until
this time in the morning are all hungry
and homeless"
1t is as the policeman said. The
Fleischmann gift of bread is little
known to the general public, which is
in bed when the loayes. are distributed
to the almost starving vagrants in
Broadway. 1t is not an ostentatious
charity, but it frequently supplies food
to 100 to 200 unfortunates.

A DREAM.


Methought that in a dream mine eyes
Beheld the gates of Paradise.
There many knocked and were denied
The city of the sanctified,
Who in the world had held high place;
While others, scorned of men, found grace
And entered through the portals wide,
With form and feature glorifcd,
And one drew near, with head held high,
OF manner stern and flashing eye,
Who quick had passed within the gate
Had not the guardian bid him wait.
what claim hast thou to share the bliss
And peace that in this city is?'
Questioned the keeper of the keys,
Searching that souls deep mysteries.
Calm and serene the answer came:
"On earth | earned the highest name
As a reformer, ever sure
10 make the streams of life run pure.
Tireless 1 toiled to make men good,
And live as / believed they should.
Sin fell before my shining sword
And now claim my just reward"
The seraph shook his shining head:
81 dare not let you in he said.
You'd surely find ere half a year
That much reform is needed here:
Streets bad! style bad; Yes, you would
say
SThese angels are dccolletcs:
The ancient stars are dim and dead,
Let's hoist electric lights insteadn"

A MOURNING VEIL.

A wide uncovered piazza ran along
the front of the Stoner house. and there
two little girls, children of a neighbor
who had no piazza, were playing keep
house. They had their dolls, dishes
and other playthings strewn about but
We're beginning to lose interest in

Suddenly the younger of them said:
'I'll tell you what-let's play funeral" ;"
''How?"
well, we can play that my Josephine
Maude Angelina dolly died, and that
we buried her.
THAT will be splendid. Let's have
her die right off,
Immediately after the death of jose
.phine Maude Angelina her grief-strick-
en- mother said:
''Now, Katie, we must put Grape on
the dOorknob to let folks know about
it. You run over to the house and get
the long black veil mamman wore when
she was in mourning for grandpa"
''It ought to be white for a dolly,
oughtn't it," asked Katie.
L guess you forget that Josephine
Maude was a married doll, and a wild
ow at that, don't yOu?" asked Dorothy
little tartly. ''You remember how
Teddy Davis's horrid dog chewed poor
:. Josephine's husband up"
Katie went away, and returned soon
with a long black mourning veil. 1t
was quickly tied to Mrs. Stoner's front
door-belI knob; then the bereft Doro-
thy's grief broke out afresh, and she
walled and wept so vigorously that
Mrs. Stoner put her head out of an
upper window and said
''You little girls are making too much
noise down there. Mr.. Stoners sick,
and you disturb him. l think you'd
better run home and play now. My
husband wants to go to sleep"
"How unfeelingr' said Dorothy,
snatching up the dead doll and her
other playthings, while Katie gathered
together her playthings. They depart
cd, switching their skirts petulantly.
They quite forgot to take the veil off
the door-knob.
Half an hour afterward Maria Sim
mons came down the street, and sud-
denly stopped in front of the Stoner
house.

She would have stopped then if it had
not been for her eagerness to carry the
news to those who might not have
heard it. Three blocks farther on she
met an acquaintance.

the Stoners, have you?" she asked.
"What trouble?"

Mrs. Simmons stopped at the village
postoffice, ostensibly to ask for letter,
but really to impart her information to

postmaster.

THE American Reriew Of RerieGS
for December calls in question England s
claim to lie considered on American
power. +" This claim is now icing as
serted by English newspapers in con-
nection with the Venezuelan matter.
The Rerieu takes the ground that the
mere holding of possessions in South
America does not in itself constitute
Great Britain South American power.
The editor regards the whole system of
European colonies within the Western
hemisphere ''strife.inciting aud vexa-
tious thing, aud an "outgrowth of the
surviving remnants OF the colonial sys-.
tenn on this side of the Atlantic" The
Rerie,c publishes statement of Ven
ezuelab side of the present controversy
from the pen of the Hon. w. l.. Scruggs,
our former Minister to Venezuela.
This statement is published for the
purpose Of getting the Venezuelan case
clearly before the public. The RsrieW
does not deny the possibility of Englands
making equally plausible claims, but
asserts that thus far, if such claims
exist they have not been made public.
