KNOWLEDGE ENOUGH. Although She Was from Boston She Cared Not for Higher Sub
 feet Than Beans.

Notwithstanding her nose turned up, there were specs on it. and she was from Boston, which may be considered to be competent testimony that heredity isn't everything. She was visiting in Brooklyn before the hot spell and the first young man she met was one who brides himself on his intellecluals. Whether anyone else does or not is another story. As it happened, the young man had an opportunity shortly after the meeting to talk with the young woman alone, and he did not fail to throw few brains at her.
 "Ah. Miss Sophia" he said, with soulful yearn in his gentle voice, I presume you at tend several of the numerous schools ot phll- osophy in which Boston Is so rich and Brook lyn IS so poort
 .I am sorry" she hesitated, Out really, Mir. Blank, do not attend any
 "Indeed, and do you feel no interest in any of the concepts of modern phiiosophle thought?'
 "None whatever, fear" and she really seemed to be sorry to have been so careless of her golden, glorious opportunities.
 And does not the subjective idealism of existence in delightful Boston profoundly affect the reality of your Ego?'
 50 far l have not observed that 1t did, she said, apolegetealy.
 "How can 1t be possible2" he exclaimed "The sphere of your knowledge must be far wider than it is with us'
 No she answered, measuring her words carefully "l should say it was not. Don't you know as long as we Bostonans know beans when the bags open We don't worry overmuch about the rest of it. Why should we? isn [ that enough for Us to know?"

 One Year.

The total number of casualties to persons on account of railway aeci- dents for the year ending June 30 1s07 was 4316s. Of these casualties 6.437 resulted in death, and 6,731 in injuries of varying character. Of railway em= ployes, 1,693 were killed and 27,667 were injured during the year. Accord. ing 10 the three general classes these casualties were divided as follows Train men, 976 killed, 13,795 injured; i; switchmen, flagmen and watehmen, 201 killed, 2,423 injured; other em- pioyes, 516 killed, II ,449 injured. The casualties to employees resulting from coupling and uncoupling cars were, killed, 2l4; injured, 6,2s3. The corre- spending figures for the year ending June 30, 1896, were 229 killed and s, ,457 injured. The casualties from coupling and uncoupling ears were assigned as follows; Train men, killed, 147; in. jured, 4,698; switchmen, 1agmen, and watchmen, killed, 5s; injured, 1895; other employees, killed, 9; injured, 260 The casualties resulting from falling from trains and engines were as fol lows: Train men, killed, 325; injured 2,726; switchmen, flagmep and watch men, killed, 32; injured, 357; other em. ployes, killed, t1; injured, 544.

With respect tc trainmen, including engnemen, fire men, conductors and other trainmen
 t appears that was killed for every l65 employed, and injured for every l2 employed One passenger was killed for every 2204, ,70s carried, and l in. jured for every 175,115 carried. Easing ratios upon the number of miles trav. eled, 1t appears that 55,211,44o passen. ger-miles were accomplished for eaet passenger killed, and 4,3s5,3o9 passen ger-miles for each passenger injured Interstate Commerce Commission Report.

WISTAR BROTHERS PONIES.
The Novel Suit for Pasturage Against the Owners of n Rapidly In-
 crensinE Herd.

Twenty-eight years ago the Wistar brothers pastured piebald colt and | piebald filly on Black island, near finicum island, and agreed with the owner of the place, Edgar N. Black, then living, to pay one dollar a week for the care and maintenance of the animals. Out of this ordinary trans action grew one of the most curious of all the Wistar brothers curious law fights, and the story of the piebald Wistar ponies has delighted Philadel- phians of two generations.
 When the Wistars put the two po- nies on the island they seemed to have forgotten one thing, that naturally their flock would increase and null tiply. If chance had landed two colts and two Allies there all would have been well, but chance had turned out otherwise and the inevitable increase began.
 We are not responsible for these additions" they said. We didn't put these extra ponies there. So we won't pay for them"
 The matter was argued up and down, time and again by Black, but the Wis tars stood firm. Its none of our af fair" they reiterated. "You agreed to pasture the ponies at one dollar a week, do it." Then Mr. Black had an Idea. "I'll sell the foals," he said.
 This was staggerer for the Wis. tars for a time "Well, go ahead,' they finally agreed, "only they're our property, and we value them at S50t pair. We won't let them be sold for less"
 When the amount due, according to Mir. Blacks count, after several years grew to $3000, he determined to sue The Wistards replied vigorously. De. feated in the lower court, they ap- pealed to the higher and on losing re fused even then to pay. The levy oi a sheriff was the only way in which the money was finally wrung from the brothers.
 Meanwhile the ponies throye enor' mously, and in 1890 reached the enor nous number of 120. They were wilt as the horses of the western prairies and they rapidly degenerated by ire quent inbreeding, both in size an4 ap pearance. Six thousand dollars was the cost to the Wistars in 1890 for the ponies pasturage, and it was gotter only by means of the courts and sher if. The largest bill was for $13,555.
 The herd did not stand at 120 long and on January II, 1895, when some ot the ponies were taken away and solo by order of the court to satisfy debt: against the estate, there were only 60. They were drivn out Walnut street to Woodland avenue, anC crowds lined the streets to see the famous Wistar piebalds. The dealer who bought them paid for the lot $663 They had cost the Wistars nearly fifty times that sum.-Philadelph Times

f Vermont, Tennessee and other

of Vermont, Tennessee and other states, besides those of the Andes, the Sierre Nevada and the Rocky noun tains. In his annual report of the geo. logical survey of Arkansas of 1888, Prof Branner says, "The list of minerals of west central Arkansas includes more than 40 distinct species or varieties of minerals occurring within the region to which this report relates. The inform ation here given is as complete as it can be from the field and office studies thus undertaken. No opportunity has been presented for making thorough quantitative chemical analyses of doubtful species, nor for determining the exact relations of such minerals as appear to be new to science. All that can now be said upon this latter point is that the determinations here given and the undetermined minerals collect ed, taken together, do not probably constitute more than half of the whole number of species existing in the area traversed. :"
 In other words, the half of the mineral wonders of this region has never yet been told, and the hidden treasures yet remain slumbering. Means of ingress by river improvement will cause an in flow of capital and energy and soon the concealed wealth will yield itself to the influences of modern skill and in genuity in the now silent valleys, and the result will be q general improve ment of wagon roads leading into the interior, and the inhabitants of these regions will experience the eXhiliration that is awakened by the electric touch of commerce. All classes and every in dustry will feel the benefeient effect of transportation facilities, and new life and inspiration will be imparted to the people affected bF the change. The press of the state should lend helping hand in the promotion of the enterprise. So powerful an agent in shaping public thought can do much to excite interest in this simple yet comprehensive scheme for internal improvement
 White river with locks and dams will spring from state into national import ance, and with the opening of the Nicaragua canal it will assume 'an in ternational significance, for the terri tory it drains is stored with raw mater. ial which can be changed by skilled labor into commodities for which there is demand in all parts of the globe.

 To-day he is an alert, active man and tells the story of his recovery as follows:
 ''I was great sufferer from sciatica rheu- matism almost from the time of my dis charge from the army. Most of the time was unfitted for manual labor of any kind, and my sbfferings were at all times intense. At times 1 was bent almost double, and got around only with the greatest difficulty. Nothing seemed to give me permanent re- lief until three years ago. when my atten- tion was called to some of the wonderful cures effected by. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. 1 had not taken more than half a box when I noticed an improvement in my condition, and l kept on improving steadily. 1 took three boxes of the pills, and at the end of that time was in better con dition than at any time since the close of my army service. Since then 1 have never been bothered with rheumatism. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People is the only rem edy that ever did me any good. and to them 1 owe my restoration to comparative health. They are grand remedy"
