The Pennsylvania railroad maintains
an editorial department composed Of
about a dozen men, under the direction
of a managing editor. In addition TO
looking after the advertising their chief
duty is to read the newspapers for the
officers Of the company. About 500 pa
pers are received daily from all over the
world Each man clips every item OF
news and editorial that he thinks Will
interest the hea q en- Of the road. When
the days reading is done the clippings
are assorted and pasted according to
topics upon sheets Of heavy MANILA pa
per, bearing the date and the title of the
classification The sheets are then sep
arated and laid upon the table of the
president, who is thus able to set the
news Of the world and expressions OF
public opinion upon important topics
at a glance When the president has
read them, he passes them down to the
vice president and other officials, and
when they have all had their chance the
sheets are returned and filed. San

THE Towns oE CRETE.


A writer in the St. Petersburg Viedo-
mosti gives the following account of the
towns of Cretel Gambia, Retimo, Khania
are of the Crete of the hundred towns the
only three cities existing, and in using the
word city every attenuation must be un-
derstood. Gambia, situated at the mouth
Of q little river, the Geoflro, was built in
the ninth century by the Saracens on the
site of Hcpaklion, one of the ports Of Cnos,
sus, The distance between Cnossus and
Gambia Is under an hour s walking, and in
antiquity the two places were connected
by walls, which recalled those between
Pir@us and Athens. In the time Of Vene.
tian sovereignty Candia enjoyed great pros
perity
Today its aspect its essentially Turkish
on account of its houses, its mosques, its
minarets and It's bazaars, in which are eSs
posed all the products of the east. 1t is
surrounded by a Fashioned wall, almost
triangular in shape. Within there is an.
other wall separating the old town from
the new, the latter being nearer the river

tians But war and earthquakes have left

It's population is between IS, 900 and IA,
900, mostly Mussulmans The port is pro-
teoted by two moles, but the sand has been

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause Of bladder troubles and
suffering so painful to many that life is made
miserable The womb like the bladder was
created for one purpose, and if left alone it is
not liable to became diseased, except in rare
cases. When in position the womb is situated
back of and very close to the bladder, and
for that reason any distress, disease or iucon-
venience manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often by mistake
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided by paying
a little attention to the condition of the urine

it was a hot day-sat the great man, in "a

women had been taking turns in deluging
the fagstones around him by means Of a
large watering pot. Ho was very particu-

lty relates that Mrs. Carlyle had a dog
which she loved But it would come in
with dirty feet, and the splenetio philoso-

somehow. Finally there was an arrange
