Gibraltar to st. Petersburg.

Europe will soon have an overland
express, which, while not travelling
quite as long distance as some trains
in America, will nevertheless cover
quite a good stretch Of road. The
Southern express, which runs twice a
week between Paris and Madrid, and,
upon two other days, from Paris to
Lisbon, will be made a daily train and,
running through Madrid, will continue
on to Gibraltar. The distance from
Berlin to Gibraltar, a little over 2,OO6
miles, will then be covered in seventy
hours. 1t is now proposed to connect
the so-called Northern express, which
travels between Paris and st. Peters
burg, with the Southern train, SO that
there will be an uninterrupted over
land line from Gibraltar to st. Peters
burg, q distance of more than 5000
miles, which it is proposed to cover in
less than four days. This would be
the first attempt to rival the great
American transcontinental lines in
Europe. -Philadelphia Record.

what long in back Her breast is full,
very round, and carried high; legs fair-
ly long and shanks thin; tail carried
closely and well up. The general car
riage should be upright. Her comb is
the marvel of her beauty; it Is single
and falls gracefully to one side, but not
in limp manner, or SO as to obscure
the sight Legs, comb and face are the
same color as in male. but earlobe is
much smaller and mere round in shape.
There are six standard varieties of
Leghorn: Black, Brown, Buff, Do1ni-
nique, Silver Duckwing and White. The
Black Leghorn is popular bird, and
a favorite with those who are partial
to their color of plumage. The Black
Leghorn is mistaken by many fer the
Black Minorca, but is, however, quite
different in type. The Minorca is lar
ger in size, has longer body, larger
comb, and dark slate or nearly black
shanks and toes. The plumage of the
Black LeghOrn is a rich glossy black
throughout. Comb, face and wattles,
bright red; earlobes white; and shanks
yellow. or yellowish black. The Brown
Iegh0rn is one of the prettiest, as well
as the most bred Of the Leghorn varie-
ties II is the most difficult Of them all
tn breed to feather. They have merited
the confidence of poultry lovers for a
long time and their hardy constitutions
have thwarted rough usage and pro-
miscuous interpreting to efface their
characteristics. They are fixed breed
and their merits are noticeable from

Confinement and Hard work

Indoors, particularly in the sitting pos
ture, are far more prejudicial to health
than excessive muscular exertion in the
open air. Hard sedentary workers are
far too weary after office hours to take
much needful exercise in the open air
they often need tonic. Where can they
seek invigoration more certainly and
agreeably than from Hostetters Stomach

to recruit the exhausted force of nature.

The Golden Rule.

Marion is troubled about carrying
,ut the precepts contained in the Gold
IN Rule. She says that if we do unto
,ne as we would be done by, we may
De obliged to do unto others as we
would not be done by. Answer: The
provisions of the Golden Rule cannot
always be carried out literally. Indeed,
they are not to be taken in that way.
n a general We should do as we
would be done by. but this doing
should be guided by our good sense
We could not apply the same rule to
,ur treatment Of a friend and associate
hat we apply to the treatment of a
criminal or a pauper. There is an old
orecept that is we'll worth remember
'ng, which is, BE just to all, but be
kind only to your own kind" Justice
and mercy in equal measure are quite
rs safe as the Golden Rule. If all OF
The people with whom we come in con-
act were of u own sort We could APP
oly the words do unto others as you
would have them do unto you;" but as
society is now constituted 1t is neither
judicious nor safe to do so. Our good
nature would be too often imposed
upon, and our forbearance would be
overtaxed. Really conscientious per-
IONS often make themselves very un-
happy because they cannot live up to
some of these precepts. They must
learn that such things are not always
to be looked at in a literal sense. but
taken with due regard for the exist
ing circumstances.
