A Box Car.

1t is probable that in spite of the fact that one-twentieth of the population of this country is dependent to large OK tent upon railways for the money it has to spend but very few people know much about the cost of railway transportation. For instance, there are few business men who can say what the cost of all or dinary box car is or how much it costs it's owner year. As matter of fact such car costs about $500. The wear and tear which has to be repaired costs on an average about $2o year. The av- craze life is 13 years, and at the end of this time the car will be worth about $50 for scrap, so the annual cost for re- newal, or the annual sinking fund, will be about $25. The railway owning the car has to maintain shops to repair its rolling stock and that of other roads, and it is probably about correct to esti- mate the wear and tear of tools while repairing the car at $4. It has general ly been the custom to add 10 per cent to bills for work done for outside parties as compensation for the use of tools, or little more than the estimate of $4 made above Taxes will add another $4 to the annual cost of car, and interest at per cent adds $50 more. Hence it will be seen than the annual cost of box car to the owner is about $s3. If the car is assumed to be in the shop 80 days, it will be in service 335 days, and its cost per day of service is nearly 25 cents. A fiat or gondola ear costs about $450 orig inally, and 2 similar series of estimates will show that it's annual cost is about $75, and its daily cost about 22 cents for the time it is out of the shops St Louis Globe Democrat.

The ReNard of Merit.

One of she institutions of Combe Florey was a handsome china bowl half filled with eolored waters, such as were then in general use for closing letters, and placed in the center of Sydney Smith huge writing table, just behind presentation" inkstand of massive silver, which he spoke of as his 'fount of inspiration. On the evening after our arrival at the rectory, when bedtime had sounded for me, and l went up to the dear old man to bid him good night, he took me between his knees. drew the bowl toward him, and picking out q white wafer pressed it hard upon my forehead, saying While you stay with us. in this wise every night l shall sig naiize your conduct throughout the day. Absolutely irreproachable behavior will be rewarded by q white wafer. Any trivial misdemeanor will be gently hint ed at by colored wafer. A black wafer will mean that you have done something really wrong and that I am seriously displeased with you. Now go to bed, dear child, sleep well, and if you must dream, let it be of white waters.

Eastern Africa.

Professor Angelo Heilprin, the dis tinguished physicist, indorses the state ment made by Dr. Gregory of the Brit ish museum that there exists i'll eastern Africa, occupying a very considerable portion of it's extent, narrow and ill places q very deep trough, in which the great lakes and many of their tributaries are located, and which, with a more or less open and depressed lowland, com munieates with the basin of the Red sea,
 and yet further with tho Dead sea and to the valley of the Jordan-that is, ac- cording to Dr Gregory, there runs from Lebanon, and then almost to tho cape.
 a deep and comparatively narrow valley,
 margined by almost vertical sides, and
 occupied either by the sea, by salt steppes and old lake basins, and by a series of over 20 lakes, of which only one has an outlet to the sea--a condition Of things absolutely unlike anything on the sur face of the earth; indeed, the presence of such rift, for this it appears to be,
 can only be compared with the long lunar rifts which have so long puzzled astronomers To Professor Suess, the eminent geologist of Vienna, is attrib- uted the first demonstration that over large areas Of the earth s surface the crust has been steadily breaking through in the direction of the earth s center,
 and that the crust has been torn and rifted throughout all time by the sub sidences of earth blocks, and he, many years ago, pointed out the probable ex- istence of this vast Afro -Asiatic trough

A "Tornado" is coming. 1t will be remembered that this same "Tornado" struck Arkansas a few years ago just about the time q cyclone swept over the western part of the State.
 It is billed to reach here next Friday night, the l4th inst, and it is to be hoped that the second yisita- tion will not be preceded by such dis astrous consequence as upon the occasion of it's former visit tO Arkansas.
 There are five special features in the way of scenic and mechanical effects in tThe Tornado" and many plays have starred as their sole great triumph an effect which did not compare to any one of these five. The scene of "The Tornado in the first act, the collision of two great ocean liners in the seceond act, the half dozen sailors on the yardarm Ol d SW dY HE hlttsL lulille5 et ihoh ster sail at dizzy height above the deck of ship in the very teeth of q furious gale, also feature of the second act. The night scene of Chicago harbor, showing with ac- curacy the famous masonic temple, the auditorium. the Randolph street viaduct and Ghicago's vast water front; the dissecting room in a medi- cal college in the fourth act, and the beautiful antumn setting in the fifth act, all go to make the most elaborately staged production of melodrama ever seen iii America. Lincoln J. Carter and"The Tornado" are huge success, and should find q large audience awaiting them at the Opera-house on the evening of the l4th.

Prince Nanoleon.

Prince Napoleon in 1870 was some thing of prophet. When he heard of the emperor's declaration of war, he hurried to St. Cloud and had stormy interview with the emperor. He didn t hesitate to say, "It is the emperor who has brought this upon us, /" and the em- peror, while offended at his frankness, admitted that ''your presentiments per haps correspond with mine. " Then the prince fired his last shot and showed that though he might go astray in many things, he knew of the weakness of France and the strength of Germany. He turned on his heel and. with that bitterness which he didn't hesitate to exhibit when occasion required, said 80 be it, so be itl Let us, however, make haste to pack our possessions, for we arc already beaten. And so the re- suit proved. New York Herald.

for indulgence in healthy sports. An
other practical suggestion: We should
keep our own lives as free as possible
from work on the Sabbath, and not
make another man work. So much for
the physical side.
Jesus Christ comes upon earth to
save souls, The Sabbath was made for
man as whole-a day during which to
take hold of the heavenly things before
him and to aid in self-development; a
day for him to lift his eyes from the
soil under his feet TO the blue above.
II we love God and our fellow man we
will seek out the best and noblest
thing to do on the Sabbath for the
country in which we live. No Sabbath
should be allowed to pass by without
some deed of kindness or some good
word dropped where needed.
The Sabbath was made for mana
time to rest his body and his mind. We
must meet the law and use the Sabbath,
and use it as the Lord intended it
should be used. Woe to him who would
degrade labor. and woe to him who
would take one breathing day, one rest
ing day, from the laborer, We should
guard we'll here the ancient landmark
and keep it for the purposes the Lord
made it for generations to come, Once
gone, you can never get it back again. -

Committee Of Twenty-one Set
tie Differences.
JOINT PROGRAM VOTED DOWN.
VIII be an Event lof the Year-Re-
signation Accepted-Fireworks and
sports to be Handled by Hawaiians.

There was a special meeting of the
American Fourth of July Committee
at the Arlington last night, and after
a two hours session the disagreeable
tangIe resulting from the combination
of the Hawaiian and American holt
days was unsnarled. The committee
withdrew from the dual position taken
Saturday evening and became a solid
American combination with a solid
American program
designations of members of the ball
committee were then read On motion
the designations of DR.. McGrew and A.
v Gear were accepted. The resigna-
lions of members of the ball committee
were tabled for further consideration,
it having been stated that the cause for
these designations was the small am
cunt of money appropriated for the ball.
The members felt that a function ap-
propriate to the occasion could not be
carried out on $50.
As a member of the committee, DR..
Grossman pointed out the impossibility
OF making the ball a success with such
a small amount of money. Acting upon
his suggestion, the committee appropri-
ated $3.50 additional, making the total
amount for the ball $500.
At this point one of the members
questioned the advisab ility OF the vote
taken on Saturday evening, favoring a
joint program for the American and
Hawaiian celebrations. Further dis
cussion brought out the point that the
committee had been appointed at a
meeting called by the American repre-
| sentative. and it was not proper pro-
/ ceeding for the American committee
/ 10 appropriate funds for the Hawaiian
celebration or to issue joint program.
| Notwithstanding that many Americans
would participate in and contribute
funds for the Hawaiian celebration, it
was not proper for the American com
mittee TO go beyond the bounds express
| ed in the call for a general meeting.
/ The discussion was a sharp one and
/ finally resulted in the reconsideration
OF the vote The whole program map
ped out at the previous meeting was
then stricken out and the following
program for the American celebration
adopted:
Ball Friday evening, July Sd, at indie
/ pendence Park
saIutes, morning and evening of July
Fourth.
Literary exercises and basket picnic
at Independence PARK.
This leaves the sports and the fire
| works 10 be looked after by the com
mfttee Of Hawaiian citizens which is
arranging the details Of the Hawaiian
celebration
The matter Of program having beer
lsettIed satisfactorily, the appropriation
were then reconsidered and 81 BIS Was
apportioned among the various sub
committees. This includes $500 to b.
placed at the disposal Of the ball com
mtttee 1t Is anticipated that those WHIT
resigned from this committee will re
consider their action in view Of the ad
ditional funds granted. There Is ever
reason 70 believe that this event OF eth
night before the Fourth" will equal
not eclipse any social function Of pre-
. vfous celebrations
