These figures show that the corn crop
alone for one year would pay all the
wages and salaries Of the railroads for a
year and leave $100,000,000 over. Fhe
railrOadsare managed by skilled business
men and high-priced officials and attOr-
neys and yet the railroads carry funded
debt equal to more than one-half Of their
total capital while the farm interests are
not mOrtgaged for more than one fif-
teenth of their value. A great deal has
been said in late years about the magni-
tude of the farm mortgages, and yet the
farmers would have to increase their
mortgages 600 per cent in order to equal
the proportionate debt of the railroads.
The farmers may be called 'hayseeds,"
mud sills," 'jayhawks" and other slur-
ring names by thoughtless persons, but
the actual facts teach a lesson in finan-
ciering which cannot be gainsayed. The
fact is that the railroad interests, great
as they are, do not compare in magni-
tude with the interests represented by
the farmers. The railroads and other
business enterprises live and thrive be-

In fact, she did not know a thing about the great American game of poker. And one day at noon, when she was alone in the store, a man came in, man who is 8 member of the board of trade, and he said 10 her:
 "l'n iuS.s see if I can't win a few ci- gars on the machine. Give me five nickels."
 He placed nickel in the slot, pulled the wheel, and it was off With q whirl

 The presumption is that she has been using the name of the dead queen to extort money from the merchant. But shs Is so positive in her assertions that she was really commissioned by the queen 10 send the decoration to Herr Silberberg. that there are a good many people who are inclined to be- lieve that there is some royal mystery or other connected with the affair, which is now absorbing public atten- tion at Copenhagen.
 Among the recent government ap- pointments in Europe which may be said to possess an American Interest ij that CT Baron Mumn CT SchWarzen- stein. so long connected with the Ger man. nissicn at Washington, to the post of Prus5ian minister to the court Of the grand duke O. 14lxcmburg, while Mir. SpringRice, for several years secretary of the British embassy at Washington, has received his promo ton as first secretary to the legation at Teheran.
 All speculation with regard to the nomination to the office of controller Of the royal household of England has been set at rest by the appintment Of Viscount Ealentia, an Irish peer, who sits in parliament for Oxford. He is lieutenant colonel of the regiment of militia cavalry yclept yeomanry, in which the young duke of Marlborough serves as one of his subalterns.
 To readers of the novels of Sir Wal ter Scott the name Of Lord Valentia will possess a certain amount of TO- mantle interest, since Guy Manner ing" and likewise Anthony Trollope Wandering Heir are based on the extraordinary incidents Of the great trial concerning the Valentia peerage, which took place toward the middle of |the last century.
 Lord Valentia is a remarkably hand some and dashing looking man, and formerly served in the prince of Wales own regiment of Tenth Hussars.
 In discussing the theft Of jewelry to which the dowager duchess of SutheT- land has been subjected on the jour ney from Paris 10 London, a good deal of capital has been made concerning the alleged mesalliance made by the late duke in marrying her, and of her sc-called plebeian extraction.
 Those who thus give expression to the very universal dislike to which the duchess has ben subjected in connec- tion with her union to the late duke, are evidently unaware that she is a member of the same family as that of his first wife, the two ladies having been fourth cousins. The first wife of the late duke was descended from George, third earl Of Cromartie, while her successor. the now dowaser duchess of Sutherland, desccnds from the third earIs younger brother, the Hen. Rod ericll Mackenzie.
 I have not yet heard whether the duchess has recovered her jewels. But she has certainly taken the most sen sible course in the matter by depending rather on the large reward which she has offered for ,h&ir recovery thaa up on the eXertions of the police. IL is probable that the thieves as soon as the excitement about the robbery has abated, will prefer the sum of $20,000 and no indiscreet questions asked, to the chances of being able to sell the gems directly or indirectly to jewellers, who are all posted as to the identity of the gens.-Narquis de Fontanoy in Washington Post.

| For some little time heretofore the
 cry has been that the famous old
 Franklin county moose stalking ranges i in Maine were hunted out" and there
 were not lacking those who went so far
 as to declare that tho moose was fast
 vanishing species. But since then something seems to have happened in
 the dark forest groves Of Upper New England In this one year the hunted
 out county has yielded more of the prized animals than during the two
 seasons previous, and from general indications it would seem that the same statement might be applied 10 the entire state. It is true that some lo- calities where game is pientifuhare moi contributing any more moose han us ual i'll former seasons, but it iS9h6 eWisc true that moose have been s95h and killed by the score this year in DOT tions O. the state where they had not been befOTe known.
 Andrew Carnegie has presented the
 Pittsburg museum with the bones of ';he largest mastodOn ever found. The
 skeleton was discovered in an Indiana peat bog, eighteen months ago. It took seventeen boxes to pack the bones, and 7,500 pounds of freightage represents the size of the relic Of past ages. The ivory tuSks, fivl feet long, are in good condition, and the whole skeleton is
 in remarkable state of preservation. When placed upon it's own legs the
 mastoGon will be about fifteen feet high. It is estimated that the bones
 have lain in the bog from 5000 to 10, 900 years.

We all know in an indefinite way that
our influence is far reaching, but it is
pleasant to have this knowledge appear
iu u concrete form.
According to q member OF the city
library board, the work Of the club
women has been found most helpful in
building up the library. The courses OF
study undertaken by the various clubs
are carefully chosen with reference to
the latest and best authorities. When.
ever possible certain number OF these
books desired are purchased by the
library, which is gradually accommodating
the chief works on a variety OF subjects.
It is a case of compensation. The
library accommodates the club women,
but in return it receives the results OF
their Investigations and experience.

A Big Gas Flow.

Fort, Scott, Kas., Oct, PA
big flow of natural gas started a
mile south of here to-day in an old
gas well. DrilIers have been at
work in the well for a week. A vein
was suddenly opened this morn
ing, and the gas shot out with such
force that the drillers dared not re-
move the cap from the well. They
lighted a leak and the flames SET
the drill derrick on fire.
