THE NETWORK TIMES,

THE TIMES is 8 newspaper for intelligent men and women who want to read all the news of the world every day. The paper has distin- gushing merits of it's own. 1tls neither sen sational nor dull. It is not sour tempered. It is not frivolous or visionary. It sees plenty of good in the world and tells about it. It tells of the bad when it must, but rot unwholesomely. It prints with fullness the record of human en- deavor in many fields outside of business, poli- tics, and war-in literature, religion, science, art, sports, and household matters. No paper l in the country prints so many book revlews and so much book news. No pape' has so complete financial page-a daily manual for investors and officers of financial institutions. Its mar ket reports-wool. cotton, breadstuffs. farm produce, &c.-are the best in the country.
 The Democracy of The Times is of the old fashioned sort-as old as Thomas Jefferson; majority rule; no bossism, 20 machine tyranny, the divorce of politics from private money making, sound currency, industrial enamel patton, and everyday honesty. Topromote the advance of the Democratic party along these lines it labors with heart and conscience and |

at Yokohama, employed only three or
four men and turned out Ave or six
bicycles week. They were all made OF

The only advantage the manufactures

In recent number of Current Litern-
ture an English writer asserts that 1.-THE
greatest corporation on earth Is the
London and Northwestern Railway
Company of England. with its capital
OF $685., 900, OOO a revenue Of $4,000 an
hour. $500 engines and 10000 employees
and repairs that cost $13O.OOO month"
Everything Is made by the COM
pany," says this writer. bridges, en-
gines, rails. carriages. wagons and an In
Vulnerable lot of other things, even the
coal scuttles and the wooden limbs for
the injured of the staff" The North
western Railway Company Is no doubt
n gigantic corporation for little coun-
try like England and worth Dragging
about, but we have got bigger one
here in the United States that might
absorb 1t very easily. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, for example. has a
capital Of 1857 ,O75, 600 and 15.430 miles
OF track, which traverses thirteen
States. 1t has 2,75G locomotives, which
consume 10000 tons OF coal day ami
make runs equal to the distance ABOUND
the globe every two hours. 1t has
1886 passenger cars, $4,000 freight
cars, $50 Pullman cars and 241 other
cars for construction and other pur-
poses, making n total Of 15S.524 cars,
which make journey equal to the cir
conference Of the earth in every eight
minutes. These locomotives and cars,
II placed upon a single track. would
reach from New York to Chicago, or ten
times the distance between Philadel-
phia and New York. The rails of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. IL laid end to
end, would encircle the globe and over
lap about 1000 miles. The total annual
revenue of the road is $135. 600
equal to $372.506 Il day. and S15.5.5
every hour of the day and night-which
is two and half times as much as that
of the Northwestern Of England.

bicycles are still too high. They are

every article OF universal use must be

A SWISS COTTAGE,

The design illustrated herewith Is
that of Q Swiss cottage, Swiss archi-

Switzerland, and, like all national In

Swiss peasant Is divided by his occu-

when he Is watching and tending his
cattle on the high Alps. and the winter,
