Pennsylvania improvements.

1t is stated on high authority that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will. in
all probability, within few days resume
work on the completion of a number of OPP
erations along the line which were stopped
some time ago owing to depression of busi-
ness While no orders have been given to
go ahead with the work, it is understood
that there will be shortly.
For the present it is said the work is to
be confined to the Philadelphia division, but
in case of any decided improvement in bust
ness, the operations that We're stopped on
the middle and Pittsburg divisions will be
taken up and completed. Chief Engineer
Brown, of the company, has been for some
time waiting for orders to so ahead with
the work, and as soon they are given
he has everything in readiness to resume
where he left off
Railroad men are of the belief that there
will be decided Improvement in business,
and during the last few days there has
been considerable increase IN freight and
passengers carried.

About Hoosier Flour.

Indianapolis has three packing houses
which put up fruits and vegetables on
large scale and when run at full capacity
employ about four hundred men and
women. For the last three weeks they
have been very busy, first canning peas,
of which there was a great abundance.
then Strawberries and cherries, and now
are canning raspberries and blackberries in
large quantities. The season for canning
tomatoes will soon be on. Indianapolis has
quite a reputation for the quantities and
excellent qualities Of canned goods which
it places on the market. AS a jely-making
point and in the manufacture Of catsup
Indianapolis has quite a reputation. The
business of the three concerns will range
from $500, 900 to $3.50, 900 year.

Indianapolis in the Lead.

One of the peculiar things in the COM
mercial world is the shifting of reputation
for good manufacturing from che city to
another. Fifteen years ago st. Louis was
regarded universally as making the best
winter wheat flour. To-day, as has been
suggested before in these columns, Indian
apolis has that honor. This has been
brought about by the enterprise of her mil
lers, among whom the firm of George L.
Evans, owning the Hooser flour mills, has
been one of the foremost n improvements.
In 1880 Mr.. Evans, who is now the oldest
miller in the city, put in the first patent
roller process in the State. He also intro
duced first the air purifier system and was
the first in recent years to make a radlcal
change in the boiling methods, all of which
changes have since been followed by the
most progressive mills the ST. Louis mills
being the last to take hold. Thus it is thu

from that position, and only 48 years
DID, he is called upon to fill the highest
place in the Prussian diplomatic SER
vice. His political convictions are un-
known, though it is claimed by those
who know the man well that he is too
much of a cosmopolitan character to
affiliate with the reactionary feudalists
who now compose the Kitchen cabi-
nett of the German emperor. On the
other hand, no liberal policy can be ex-
pected from him, because his training
as well as his family traditions natur-
ally places him in the conservative
ranks. AS such he is likely to stand for
a strongly developed protective tariff,
as well as against bimetalHsm, repre-
senting in both respects the personal
policy of the emperor He has had very
little opportunity to pose as a public
speaker. What he has done in former
years in the Prussian diet and in the
German reichstag was to read from

There has been great eXaggeratiOn as
to the amount of gold taken from the
Klondyke field by prospectors and
claim owners. 1t is but natural that
fabulous tales of the strikes" should
follow the discovery of gold in a new
region, but those who Intend putting
their time and capital into Alaska
should sift carefully the stories they
hear from that country. The chief
clerk of the San Francisco mint says
that all the gold brought to that city
from Alaska will not exceed $SOO,OO0
and all that has been taken this year
and sent to other mints of the country
will not exceed $2,OOO,O00. This is prob
ably a conservative estimate. That
there is gold there no one doubts, but il
has not been proved yet that Klondyk@
will afford the fortunes that California
or Australia did to the pioneers of hall
a century ago. The agent Of Chicago
concern which is interested in the Alas
kan mines gives good advice to the
newspapers when he says, speaking Of
the printed reports: 1--WE are getting too
much of this untold millions busi-
ness" 1t is sufficient to tell the truth
about the country. The exaggerated
reports will do the country no good. In
fact, they make it ridiculous.

Sad Trick,

'If you have room for short bicycle
story" said a War Department clerk to
a Star reporter, "here is one, but don't
ever mention my name in connection
with It, The victim Is one Of the most
noted of the century riders of Wash
ington, and he has done many centuries
with credit to himself and his club.
Some evenings since he agreed to pilot
q party of congenial riders for long
run down in Maryland, some of whom
knew a part of the road, but did not
know anything of the further end. The
pilot told them he would meet them
near Marshall Hall at certain hour i'll
the evening, though in riding there he
would not take the usual road, as he
desired to call on a friend who resided
on a side road He made very good
time in getting at the appointed place,
and, not meeting his party, he sat down
on the side of the road and went to
sleep. Shortly afterward the party
came along, and, finding their pilot
asleep, concluded they would let him
have his nap out, while they went over
of them turned his wheel around so as
to give it safer position in chance any
wagons passed along the road. When
they returned it was nearly midnight,
but the pilot or his wheel was not to be
found. When he went to sleep the
front of his wheel was turned toward
Washington, but in moving it the head
got turned the opposite way When the
century rider awoke he concluded that
his friends had given up the ride, so he
started off, He was exactly twenty
two miles further down in Maryland
when he found out by asking man he
met ON the road than he thought he
was. He thought, considering the num-
Der of miles he rode ard the speed he
used, he was in the immediate vicinity
of Washington, only to find that he was
nearly forty miles away. Since then he
has not offered his services as pilot,
and he never speaks of Marshall Hall.

A Wreck in the Potato f eId.

An old salt, after sailing the sea for
years. thought he would try a life
ashore for awhile. He looked around
for a job, and was engaged by farm
er. saving, as he had plowed the deep
for years, he thought he could ploW
the land. He went home with the
farmer, and after a good nights rest
and breakfast started out to plow. The
farmer hitched up a yoke of oxen, with
n horse on to lead. Taking two turns
around the field and then turning the
team over to Jack, he said he would go
to the house for family prayers.
1t was plain sailing for short time.
but the team didn't like Jacks way OF
navigating. The oxen turned the yoke
and things became snarled up. Jack
hove to and went to the house, asking
for the deacon. He was told the fam

flying agent of death, and there is same
thing, therefore, in the courage of a
fireman which commands the most rev.
erent admiration. 1t is far easier to
realize the advance of q line of battle.
where the men in most cases are in
spired by patriotic zeal and the conta-
gion of each others fervOr. But there
is nothing in the fireman's lot to appeal
to his sentiment. The fire he fights is
not attacking anything he holds dear.
His zeal is born of an unalloyed sense
of duty, and when he is led by it to
place his life in imminent peril his
heroism is of surprising magnitcence.
The Chicago fremen have been so
trained and led by a chief who has not
a particle of fear in his composition
that they have come to look on it as a
matter of course to run the greatest
hazards and make their way into the
most dangerous places. That which
seems heroism to others may seem to
them simply a rather disagreeable but
unavoidable duty. Chicagoans, how
ever, look at the matter in a different
light, and they never can get quite ac
customed to the fearless intrepidity of
their firemen, though it has been dis
played so often and is testified to by so
many graves.

A dispatch from Berlin declaring the
reported collapsed balloon of Andree
was only a whales back shows how
easily the Imagination Of man can be
adapted to varying exigencies. One OF
the most common phenomena OF the
summer months along the seashore is
the declaration by band of otherwise
truthful citizens that certain eXpanse
of seaweed is a sea serpent, and at
times they even go to the extent Of as
cribing this identity to a mere shadow
cast upon the waters. In the arctic
sea, however, it would be manifestly
absurd to imagine sea serpents when
monsters of the deep are so numerous
in fact, but 1t would be equally improv-
ident to allow the power of imagination
to go to waste. The thrifty NOrwe-
gians have been quick to realize this
truth, and since about the only thing
extant that could be operated on pro-
fitably was Andree's balloon they have
been seeing Andree's balloon whenever
there was the slightest opening. Sea
monsters have comprised the chief re-
source in this enterprise, and it has
been a dull day when a floating whale
has not been heralded as the famous
balloon in a state Of collapse. Not the
slightest harm has been done anybody
by these imaginings, for the Norwe-
gians have been quick to undeceive the
world by publication of the truth, and
this dispatch from Berlin is one such
publication in point.

The River Thames.

If the plans now under way are car
ried out as anticipated, the great work
Of widening and deepening the River
Thames will before long be an accom-
plished fact, and the commercial i'm
portance of that river thereby greatly
increased. 1t being clear to the au-
thorities, on extended examination and
consultation with engineering experts,
that twenty-six foot channel was re-
quired for at least nine-tenths of the
shipping, it was decided that the work
should be prosecuted, to be done solely
by dredging. According to this plan,
there will be from Gravesend up the
river as far as Crawford Ness, oppo-
site Harfeet, channel width of 1000
feet and minimum depth of twenty
four feet at low water, spring tide,
while from Crawford Ness to the AL
bert docks, the width Is to be 500 feet
and the depth twenty-five, and from
the latter to the Cornwall docks there
will be q channel at least 300 feet wide
and eighteen feet deep.

The Worlds Newspapers.

A statistician has learned that tne
annual aggregate of the circulation OF
the papers of the world is estimated at
$4,000, ,OOO, 600 copies. To grasp the IDEA
of this magnitude it is stated that the
amount of the paper would cover no
fewer than 10,45O square miles OF sur
face, and 1t is printed on 7Sl,23O tons OF
paper. We might press and pie tnem
vertically upward and gradually reach
our highest mountains. Topping all
these and even the highest Alps the
pile would reach the magnificent alti-
tude of 400, or, in round numbers 800
miles. Calculating that the average
man spends five minutes reading his
paper In the day this is very low es
timate) we find that the people OF the
world altogether annually occupy time
equivalent to 100000 years reading the

UNIQUE Device for Beating Eggs.

An egg beater which eXcels all 9th
ers, especially in whipping cream, Is
constructed somewhat like a pump, the
piston being perforated all over and
made with two circles somewhat re-
sembling a double daSher for churn,
only that the dasher is worked in q
small cylinder through which the air is
forced rapidly and with great effect.
This is fine beater for only one egg
or for small quantity of cream, which
may be put into a small cup to be
whipped. By the use of this beater
one-half of the whites of the eggs may
be saved by what is known as the
Boston water system" Take the
white of one egg and add to it as much
cold water as half of the shell will
contain, and beat together. 1t will equal
the whites of two eggs and go as far in
plain cooking or frosting of cakes. This
Is simple natures recipe. The albu-
men, when moistened, doubles itself
by the rapid introduction of air. The
same rule applies to any number OF
whites of eggs. Water should not be
added to whole eggs, however, as the
egg contains a sufficient quantity.
BY using this method the expensive
angel food cake may be made with only
half the usual expense. Instead of us
ing eleven eggs use only six and add
FIVE teaspoonfuls of cold water. The
cake will be lighter and the quality far
superior to the old process.

Chicago Chronicles: Sixth place is the
best that the Chicago ball club can
hope for at the present time, and it
may even have to take a lower stand
ing before the season is over. The
combination of inferior players, bad
playing and bad management has
brought the club to it's present state in
the championship contest and disgust
ed the lovers of the national game.
Baseball has steadily been losing pop
ularity and the diamond has been the
scenes of the most disgraceful rioting.
The morale of the players is low as a
whole. and they have been losing
standing and caste. The whole or
ganization of ball playing will have to
be changed before better condition
of affairs can be had 1t is no longer
a gentleman's game as cricket is in En-
gland, and it will never be until the
whole complexion of the game has
been changed.
