The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has improved its freight IA
cilities in Philadelphia very materially
during the past year. A new pier, No.
90 South, which was completed in De-
cember, 557 feet long and 140 feet wide,
and is said to be one of the finest in
the city. Vessels of the deepest
draught can tie up on both sides of the
pier, thereby affording every facility
for the prompt handling of freight.
The pier and sheds are lighted with
improved incandescent lights, and well
paved driveways have been provided.
This improvement enables the b. and
o. to handle about three times as much
business as formerly. The different
freight yards throughout the city have
been improved by the laying of addi-
tional tracks, and arrangements have
been made with the Pennsylvania
Warehousing and Safe Deposit Com
pany by which the b. and o. handles
grain, -four, hay, straw, canned goods
and other merchandise through their
warehouses and elevators.

But Aunt Flora did not answer,

he found Teddy there. 1t did seem too

the bag of walnuts from the closet

Hello, Teddy. he said, "have some

pounds of walnuts.

Jacks face was red as rose. He

very carefully to get them out whole.

disappointed. l wouldn't, Jack"
But Jack would. He picked out
shells enough to make three walnuts;
then he got the glue-bottle and stuck
them together so carefully you
wouldn't have known they were ever
cracked.
Don't they look just good enough to
eat?" laughed he. Nov, when they
get dry I'll put them in a paper bag

Then he ran out to his play, whist

that he didn't think Of the walnuts
again until he came home from school
next day, at noon. Aunt Flora had
put them away for him, however. She
told him where TO find them.

An Unexploded Shell Under Church.

An Unexploded Shell Under a Church.
DR.. league showed us the other day
the fuse of an unexploded 300-pound
PARROT shell, which was discovered
under a pew in ST. MichaePs church,
in Charleston, when the church was
overhauled after the earthquake. We
were especially interested in this bit
of past history, as the shell was taken
from beneath the pew which was
owned by Mrs. Arthur Ford's father.
She and her family little realized when
they sat placidly for so many years
after the war, under Mr.. Keith's good
ministrations. that they were in such
imminent and immediate danger of fire
and birthstone. This was the only
shell that struck st. Michael's church
during the two years bombardment.
1t entered on the southeast corner Of
the church and lodged under the floor
of the northwest side on Broad street.
When the church was got ready for
service after the war this floor was
simply replaced and this uncanny Wis
itor left. its presence unsupported by

sengers were assembled on the deck
The leaders in the informal political
debate were Democrat and a Wing,
both fluent takers and clever in argu-
ment, and pretty soon everybody on
board gathered around to listen to
them. Presently the Whig suggested
that it would be a good idea to take
the sense Of the meeting, and the
Democrat, after a quick look ahead,
agreed. He obtained silence and an
