JUST OWE MORE.

1t appears that some people think
there are not big railroad systems
enough in this country yet. So COM
pany has been formally organized for
the construction Of railroad from st.
Louis to New Orleans along the west
bank Of the Mississippi river. The cap
italization of the company is $4,000, 900,
and Mr.. Reid Northrop one of the most
successful and wealthy business men of
st. Louis, is it's president. He is a
nephew of the late Jay Gould, and is
the largest stakeholder in the new enter
prise. The survey between Arkansas
City and Natchez is about completed
and will be the first section constructed.
The survey follows as nearly as possible
the west bank of the Mississippi river,
and it calls for the construction of the
road right up to the levee in most cases.
Several important branches are also
projected westward which would pene-
trate the richest sections Of louisiana
Texas and Arkansas. 1t is claimed the
project has all the financial backing
necessary to carry it to successful COM
pletion. The New Orleans papers con-
cur in the opinion that the construction
of the road would be of immense ben
eft to that city. The Illinois Central
folks are not so sure about the benefits
of the new road.

The Battle.

Down in the depths of foam-crowned pool,
beneath q shelt'ring bank,
Where tumbllng waters eddled and the
| WatercreSs grew rank,
Where windhewed tree trunk stretched
| across the stream from shore to shore.
There dwelt the monarch of the brook, be-
hind rush-rlbbed door.
In coolest months of wintertlme his bright
hued sides would flash
Far up the shallow, eeless stream, where
swift head-waters dash;
| In the springtinle when the Ice the deep
pools ceased to clog,
| Returned he to his Old retreat beneath the
| messy log.
Within his deep and stone-paved home, his
| noble head up stream,
And broad tail swaying iazily. the mon
archs speckes CLEAN;
Each surface change, each floating twig his
sharp eyes clearly saw,
Nor did a single luckless bug escape his
hungry nav.
Twas early morn; the monster lay in wait
for breakfast fare,
The thick grown woods re-echoed with shrIll
bird notes everywhere;
Just where the logs dark shadow touched
the eddy's dlmpled cheek
tempting Insect rested on the surface of
the creek.
Like lightning bolt from lowering sky the
monarch le1t MS lQlr,
His jaws closed DER the miller as 1t whirled
and eddied there
Then back to his recess he shot, but ere Its
depths he gained
A tether unreenting at his plunging body
strained.
One moment poised he quiet, while his an
cry, Wild eyes flashed,
And then by cleaning side the erstwhile
peaceful pool was thrushed.
Its waters seethed and boiled, while through
the now awakened glen
The din of battle sounded as he fought for
life again.
With fierce, quick dashes back and forth
across the pool he went,
While Ger the battling monarch the 1.-THE
rod strained and bent;
Up stream and down, MEATH threa tening
log and ilowery bank he ragged
As some Wild jungle beast within steel
bound dungeon Gagged.
Relentless was his fury and unceaslng was
his fight;
He churneJ the deepest waters in his long
unconguered might;
And cen the birds were silenced for each
singer seemed TO feel
His tunefu song was useless 'galnst the
whr of clicking reel.
Long ragged the even battle as the tlreless
monarch fought,
Yet slow his strength was ebblng, but the
line held firm and taut;
moment then he su,ked below, a moment
stopped the strife,
AS one who gathers power for last mad
plunge for life.
pause-a tremble-sllence--a moment he
suspends
The strife, and then with flaming side the
baliny air he rends;
with powerful tall he strikes the line

the monarch wont
Again the foam collects upon the bosom of
the pool;
Again the swaying rush Is kissed by quiet |
waters cool;
Again the fallen logs dark shadow stretches |
undisturbed;
Again the lace-winged dragon-fy is DojsIuq |
unperturbed.
The silence is but broken by the note of |
Warbling bird.
No din of battle echoes, and no noisy reel |

The monarch hears retreating steps disturb
the quiet vale.

Experiments made by M. Berthier of
Paris have resulted in the discovery of
simple method of imparting to cloth
ing fabrics the quality of repelling wa
ter and yet admitting air for ventila-
ton, the basis in this case being the use
of wool which still contains the animal
grease Tests were made with lanoline,
product Of the publication of this ami
NAL grease, deprived of soap and acid
fat and made neutral. The results were
very favorable, and the impermeable eff
feet was secured by mixture of ten
to twenty grams of lanoline to 1000
grams of spirits of petroleum as dis
solvent, this spreading itself rapidly in
the tissue and evaporating quickly; the
impermeability of the material is in
sured either by dipping it in the mix
ture for few moments and then wiring
ing out, or by applying it with a sponge
to the surface, the last process being the
more economical, but not so satisfactory
as the first. 1t appears that material
thus treated is healthy, the tissue is not
clogged, the weight is not increased and
it dries rapidly in the open air.

An observer has discovered and call
ed attention to the fact that In this
country the schools closed to male stu
dents exceed in number those closed to
female students. Another man, Prof.
Won Hartmann of Germany, consoles
the women who are shut out of the
universities in this wise: 1.-THE lecture
rooms seem to have magical attrac-
tion for you. They are for you the par
adise Of intelligence Absurd mistake!
They are much more like barracks,
where one learns mechanically the
manual of arms. I am going to tell
you the great secret: The best means
of education is reading. Let those of
you who care little about diplomas and
whose sole ambition is to cultivate your
minds stay at home and read Get it
well into your heads that your brothers
and your future husbands who after
leaving the university do not read will
never be anything but stupid ignora-
muses., and that all the universities in
the world are useless to a woman who
knows how to read"
