Oldest Railroad In the World.

The Baltimore a. Ohio is the oldest
chartered railroad in America, and tho
oldest passenger railroad in the world.
On the 4th of July, 1923. ground was
broken for the promising enterprise
By Charles Carroll of Carrolton, the
only remaining signor of the Declara'
ton of Independence. At the time
it was only designed for horse rail-
road, for steam had not yet been
evolved into u practical motive power.
1t was the original intention to extend
the road ultimately to the Ohio river,
hence the name which it now bears
was given to it at its beginning.
On the 22d of May, 1880, the road
was opened for business from Balti-
more to Ellicott's Mills, thirteen miles.
The first American passenger car
then used was almost IL feet long ;ono
horse was attached, good for eight
miles an hour, carrying % passengers.
The driver sat in front, the conductor
stood on the steps behind. The first
driver, Mr.. Galloway, who was after
wards made engineer, lived to see the
road perfected from the primitive one.
horse power to its climax of wonder
full display at the Worlds fair, where
he held forth with pride as the first
engineer of the first passenger railway
in America. . -s-.as e. .~i 81 g..
Very soon after tho road started q
more ambitious car was used, known
as the "louble decker" Then n
tread car was introduced, the object
being for the horse to move its own
car and passenger car attached at tho
same time, sort of animated four
legged locomotive, which is doubtless
more humorous to read about than 1t
would be to ride behind, particularly
in this day of lightning speed.
Momentous events followed quickly
on this new road, and on August 28,
1880, the first American locomotive
ever constructed, made by Peter
Cooper, drew the first passenger car
ever propelled by steam upon any
railroad in the world, Mr.. Cooper act
ing as engineer.

Protection for Horses at Country
Churches.

AS country parson, writes Rev.
NJ G. Rambo IN the American Agri-
culturist my attention has often been
called to this matter. My ministerial
work for the past few years has been
in charge of country congregations,
and have been astonished at the lack
of provision at the average church for
the accommodation OF the teams, while
the owners enjoy the comforts OF the
house of God The horses are COM
PEELED to stand out in the burning
sunshine or in the bleak wintry winds
with scarcely shadow OF protection.
1t is to me great source of pain to
see the animals suffer as they are often
compelled to do in the extremes OF
weather and l often shorten thef
service in order that the teams may
be relieved OF there misery.

Cocoa And Chocolate.

For the past fifty yenrs the manu-
facture of chocolate and tho prepara-
ton Of cocoon has been going on in
New York. There are now some
twenty-five factories aud firms en-
gagged in the business. A prominent
manufacturer said to porter in re-
lati on to this:
The reason why New York is the
center for the manufacture OF the
various forms Of chocolate is because
both the cocoa bean aud the sugar ro.
quired in its manufacture are grown
this side cf the Atlantic, and are more
easily produced here than aboard
There is also another reason why
the domestic chocolate is better than
the imported, and that is because We
make better quality of goods than
they do on the other side.
The American manufacturers give
better values and work on smaller
margin.
"One of the reasons why many
chocolate manufacturers have had 40
much success is because New York is
a seaport, and in some cases know
of cocoa beans being landed on tho
dock near manufactory in the morn
ing and turned out manufactured
goods on the following morning.
This merely illustrates to how fine
point the business has been perfect-
ed.

the product of chocolate aud cocoa Of

has constructed compass which is

sensitive to minute symptoms from
any other magnetic influence exerted

escillates about an eighth OF an inch,

Alaska Pays Its Way.

There are people who ore fond of
saying that the United States "has
spent more in trying to defend tho
right to control the seal fisheries than
Alaska has been worth to it," A docu-
ment just now sent by tho president
to Congress shows that the govern
ment has derived, sincs 1876, from
the seal fisheries alone, SO, 351, 961,
and that there is a claim of nearly a
million more outstanding. Including
all the expenditures of policing Behr-
ing sea and for the support of the ma
tives, and for salaries, there has been
net profit to the United States since
1876 on the seals. alone of 81, 65S, $50.
Since the Canadians began their at
tempts to break up these fisheries the
profits have vanished.
Aside from the seal fisheries, there
are other fisheries of great value. In
his annual report secretary Smith says
that "the salmon alone taken pre-
pared for the market by canning or
otherwise gives an annual return OF
$4,000, ,0O0." Gold mining has also
become of great and increasing i'm
portance, and, according to these OFF,
cial documents, Alaska returns to the
people of the United States in one
year now almost as much as the cost
of it. The Manufacturer.

Every congregation should see to IL
that there are some arrangements for
thc comfort and protection OF the
teams during tho hour of service. No
one would think OF driving horses TO
town and letting them stand out ia all
sorts of severe weather as they do at
church. And yet only very few con-
gregations have given tho least atten-
ton to the comfort of the horses on
Sunday. II seems to me that church
should never be considered ready for
dedication unit il there has been made
ample provision for the dumb beasts,
for how can ones worship be accepta-
bic to the Creator unless ho is consid-
crate of the needs OF his creatures?
Sheds can be easily and cheaply built
that will DO protection both in sum-
mer aud winter. The cash outlay for
their construction need be small.
The lumber necessary to cover
them and board up the windward sido
is all that needs to be bought. Poles
in nearly all cases may be obtained in
the neigbborhood and they will al-
ways be donated. The work, too will
usually be donated.
A "bee" in some leisure time OF the
year might be held, when men OF the
whole community would turnout and
the entire work could be done in one
day. Thus at the cost of little time
and very small amount OF money, the
work could be accomplished. II is
certainly a cause that demands atten-
ton.
