now than it was when first it became a
royal residence. To the original 10000
or 1900. acres were soon added the
5000 acres of the adjoining Birkhall
estate. Then in 1878 the forest of Bal
lochoule was purchased-another TO-
900 acres-and there have since been
more recent acquisitions.

HI arper's Round TIA BILE

Carrot P. Serviss, one of the best
known American mountain-climbers,
writes in Harpers Round Table of the
charm of this outdoor sport: ''It is
not necessary, he says, ''to seek very
lofty or difficult SUBMITS, or to travel
in Mexico or to the Alps, or even to
our own Rockies, in order to enjoy
this exhilarating sport, which strength
ems the mucles, steadies the nerves,
and clears the brain. I remember an
unpretentious peak on the southern
edge of the White Mountains, unknown
to fame except among the farmers and
villagers at it's feet, which, with a
single exception, was the first noun
tain I ever climbed. When [ reached
its summit, only some two thousand
feet above the sea-level, there opened
before my astonished and fascinated
eyes a vision of tumbled mountains
on one side, and green plains glitter
ing with winding lakes on the other
a view SO apparently illimitable and SO
wonderful in the diversity and strange
ness of it's elements that 1 seemed to
have dropped upon another world.'

 Came 1t Did the Work.
 It had been at Holyoke, Springfield and Hartford, before appearing in New Britain. From New Britain 1t travelled south to Meriden and Middletown, and visited all other towns and cities in Con- necticut in their turn. When it came to New Britain it created considerable excitement and the residents of that city, like every other city and town along it's route became anxious and curi- ous to know who would be next as the testimony from representative citizens was daily published in the local papers Week after week went by and the good people of New Britain settled down to the fact that what their neighbors said must be so; that local testimony and statements from people they knew must be reliable. One whose testimony help- ed to push the good work along in New Britain is we'll known in that city. He can be depended upon to answer any communication mailed to him or to cor roborate personally what he says here. We refer to MT Henry Rackllff, of 90 Greenwood St., New Britain, Conn. an old employee of the Stanley Rule and Level Go. Read what he says. You will then know what Connecticut people waited for and how one of them treated the stranger. Mir Rackliff says: "For over year I had kidney complaint, affecting my back, the kidney secretions and causing general depression. I tried everything but it still clung to me. My attention was directed to Doan's Kidney Pills and procured box at a drug store. Now l am a watchman in the factory and the tramping up and down stairs nearly killed me. I had to stop and straighten myself on every floor. As grew worse had to rise six and seven times after retiring and the kidney secretions became offensive. In fine, I was in presty bad shape. I never got hold of anything that did me half as muoh good as Doan's Kidney Pills. I had not finished the second box when my back ceased aching. The kidney secretions are natural and the tired feel ing disappeared. I continued the treatment until I was satisfied that was cured. You may use my testimony in any way you wish"

A Dangerous Liquid.

The Philmont Sentinel says: What came near being very serious accident occurred at O. N, Harder's, Monday afternoon. While cleaning child's dress with gasoline on the piazza and nowhere near any fire, the gasolene suddenly ignited, flashing ten feet high. The persons using it escaped with only slight burns. The. theory of the ignition is that the friction cansed by rubbing the fabric generated electricity which produced the spark that ignited the gaseous vapor. This should be a waraing to every one to be extremely cautious in the use of gasoline for cleaning,

Reorganization Scheme-Connecticu
 Western Lease 10 Hold.
 Crowded out last week.
 In its news columns the Hartford Courant says:
 The reorganization scheme for the Philadelphia Reading & New England Railroad Is now made public. The first mortgage bonds defaulted their interest May l, 1893. The Philadelphia & Read ing had guaranteed these but has not fulfilled the agreement and itself has failed and been reorganized. There is talk of the liability of the stock holders of the Reading, but as yet no settlement has been reached. The plan now brought forward involves the continu- ance of the lease of tue Hartford & Con- necticut Western, and that the interest of the Duchess county road be paid, but at the reduced rate of 4. per cent. No receivers certificates have been is- sued and there are no car trusts. The income has been ploughed on to the property.
 It is the plan of the committee to build the extension to Springfield dur ing 1898. The new company will issue first mortgage for S1, 2b0, 000 The old securities will be assessed as follows: Glass "A" bonds. 10 per cent; "B" bonds and preferred stock. 8, and com mon stock 2. per cent. The whole has been underwritten by syndicate. The statement shows charges of S147, 500, and expenses of S200,000. leaving a sur plus of S52, 500, without allowing for earnings for the Springfield extension. Old securities must be deposited before April Is.
 In its editorial columns the Courart says:
 As to the Springfield extension, that has been so many years doing business on paper, the committee have hit on the real way to build it. If they want it, let them put up the money and go ahead. It has been supposed all along that the 'Consolidated" road would take in the whole Pou2hkeepsie bridge experimentation when it got ready. A show of building may bring the situa- tion to head.
