to be brought about by the extension of

when this connecting link is completed the
Union Pacific and Illinois Central systems
will be welded. financially and physically.
TO form one line from Chicago TO the
Hartman syndicate will have the Baltimore

TO Chicago. From Omaha it will own the
Union Pacific and the Oregon Railway and
Navigation line. In addition TO this Ii owns
the Illinois Central from Chicago to New
Orleans, the Chicago e Alton TO st. Louis
and Kansas City, and is figuring on the
control of the Kansas City, Pittsburg &
Gulf from Kansas City TO the Gulf of
Mexico. Chicago will be the center OF this
great system. From here IL will have its
own lines 10 the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans and two routes from Chicago to
the Gulf of Mexico and side line to Sioux
City. Ia The syndicate's system will also
be strongly allied with the Missouri Pacific
and the Missouri Kansas & Texas, the two
largest railroads in the Southwest. With

TO be near possibility. the syndicate will
also have a line to St. Paul and Minneap-

The queen, although kind, has been
a despotic mother and grandmother,
and has concerned herself, says m. A.
p" more than the average parent with
the bringing up of her descendants. Be-
sides carefully supervising her chill
dren's education, selecting or APPROX
ing their friends, and providing their
husbands and wives, she has vigorously
controlled their pin money, of which
there never has been any wasting in
the precincts of old Windsor. Toys
and gewgaws in the royal nursery were
limited. but there never was any lack
of books. Each child had its own min
nature book case, and was responsible
for keeping it in order. as well as for
n periodical report showing just how
many and what books had been read.
The report was submitted to the queen
at the end of every month. The chill
dren frequently preferred to pass the
time playing. making out their list at
random. but were invariably caught.
In this respect Princess Louise is re-
ported to have proved the worst delin-
quent, and it is said that on an aver
age her royal highness spent a whole
day of each month in an empty room,
as punishment for this offense alone.
On one occasion, when a child OF 8. she
reported that her literary food for the
month had consisted of few fairy
tales. THE Meditations of Marcus Au-
relius" and THE Life OF Zwingli." The
queens suspicious being aroused, she
questioned her daughter as to who
these personages were. Unhesitatingly
came the reply that Marcus Aurelius
had discovered America and Zwingli
was a famous German actor!

TlBETAN DEATH DANCES.
ceremony of the Sacriiicial Body o
tho Dead Year"


tho Dead Year"
Very strange performances are the
death dances of the Tibetan mystery
plays, one of which is performed on the
last three days of the year and is called
1.-The ceremony of the sacrificial body
OF the dead year." The effigy of
man made out of dough as lifelike as
possible and having inside a distinct
heart and all the entrails filed with a
red fluid, is placed by four cemetery
ghouls in sight Of the numerous spec
tators in the center of the yard, and
at once bands of skeleton ghosts rush
upon the corpse to attack it. This is
the time to display the necromatic
power of Lamaism over the evil spirits.
Monks and lamas come forth and go
through series of ceremonies, the
magic effect of which keeps the fends
away. But a more formidable devil,
with great horns and possessed of SUI
perior powers, makes his appearance
and takes the field. Whereupon a saint
or an incarnation of Buddha himself
comes to the rescue, sprays -four on
the enemy, makes mystic signs and
utters lamentations. The skeleton
ghosts and the big fiend grovel before
him and implore mercy. He gracious
ly yields to their supplications and al
lows them to partake of a sacramento
meal. While they kneel before him
he gives to each one of them a little
-four to eat and drink out of a vessel
of holy water. This concludes the days
performance. The corpse, however, is
not destined to be preserved. On the
next day the fight is renewed. and after
a cannonade with blessed mustard seed
and other exorcisms, an awful demon
Of Religion" He wears the head Of
a bull, a dagger in the right and the
efiigy Of a human heart in the left
hand. This strange figure seems to
represent the main deity of the ancient
Tibetans when they were still in the
habit Of Offering human sacrifices, not
in eAgy but in reality. The demon
god has been converted by Buddha and
becomes a protector of Buddhism. He
is now satisfied with human sacrifices
in effigy, and the man made of dough,
being supposed to be an enemy of Ii
bet, is surrendered to him. He dances
round the figure Of the man on the
ground, stabs him, binds his feet in a
snare, and at last cuts off his limbs,
Sits open his breast, takes out his
bleeding heart, lungs, and other intes-
tines. At this moment a horde of
monsters falls upon the remnants of
the dismembered dough-man and scat
tiers them in all directions. The pieces
are collected again in a silver basin and
the holy king of religion, eating a NOR.
sci, throws them up in the air. This
is the signal for the finale; the pieces
are caught and fought for by the de-
mons, and at last tie crowd Of specta-
tors joins the general scramble for
pieces Of dough, representing human
flesh. which they either eat or treasure
up as talismans.-Open Court.

Charles G. Dawes, comptroller OF the
currency, has made public the results
of the investigation into the number
of loans and deposit accounts, rates
of interest and resources OF the COM
bined banks of the United States in
the years 1889, 1894 and 1899. The
general deductions from the investiga-
ton covering the last ten years is
given by the comptroller as follows:
That the number of individual de-
positors in the banks of the United
States is constantly increasing. as in
dictated by the regular increase in the
number of deposit accounts OF the
combined banking systems; that there
is a demand from borrowers for the
use of the greater proportion of the de-
posts of banks, and while the num-
Der of individual borrowers is increas-
ing the depositors greatly outnumber
the borrowers, and the increase in the
number OF borrowers is much less than
the increase in the number Of deposit
ors; that the growth of the banking
systems Is being characterized by a
gradually lessening rate OF interest
charged on loans; that, considering the
large clientage of national and savings
banks, the average deposit Of the in
dividual or corporation Is slowly in
creasing; that the average size OF the
loans. all classes of banks considered
has not varied much in the last de-
cade.

Well Agreed.

A story told me the other day-cer-
tainly told for new, but good enough
to be old:
On one of the recent warm days a
sour-visaged, middle-aged, fussy lady
got on one of the smoking seats on an
open car in the subway. Next her sat
a man who was smoking cigar. More
than that, the lady. shifting, easily
made out that the man had been eat
ing onions. Still more than that,
she had the strongest kind of suspic-
ion that he had been drinking beer
The lady fused and wriggled, and
grew angrier, and looked at the man
scornfully. Presently she could en-
dure 1t no longer. She looked square
ly at him and said:
"If you were my husband, sir, I'd
give you dose of poison!"
The man looked at her. "If l were
your husband" said he, I'D take
it."-Boston Transcript.

Congressman Curtis of Kansas has
introduced a bill authorizing the sec
rotary of agriculture to establish tive
branch stations of his department, one
at Topeka and another at Springfield
III. The object of these stations is
stated to be for the manufacture OF
such remedies for hog cholera and
black leg in young cattle as he may
think proper, such remedies to be fur
nished to farmers and stock growers
at actual cost. There is said to be a

in Illinois and Kansas. and it is said
their naturalization will mean much

devote their time to the raising of fine
