Railway Development In Africa.

In twenty years time. IT is safe to
prohpesy, railway development in At
RIGA will have made enormous strides
and the many important branch lines
TO connect with the Cape-Cairo trunk
VIII have been constructed or be near
completion. In the south the line from
Johannesburg Will Join that at Bull
awayo; Bulawayo, again, will be con-
nected with a line running right across
country to Walhsch bay in German
West Africa. In central Africa the
trunk line win connect with German
and British lines running to the east
coast; and 1t is only reasonable to sup
pose that by that time 4 line or lines
through Belgian territory will connect
or be in close touch with the Cape-to-
Cairo route. And that the trunk line
VIII be n paying concern there is no
reason TO doubt In the Rhodesian
section already built the returns have
advanced by leaps and bounds. The
engineering difficulties of the Cape-to-
Cairo line are considerable, but not in
superable; so that, with Mr.. Rhodes at
the head TO push the thing along"
there Is every prospect of the scheme,
vast as II is, being successfully accom-
plished.-Thc Engineering Magazine.

A Good Profession.

Many things are changed in times Of
war and bloOdshed. but some remain
fixed and immovable. A surgeon in one
of the hospitals was filling up blank
for convalescent soldier who had
done brave service in the civil war. to
which he had gone from his New
Hampshire home. What were you by
profession before the war?" asked the
surgeon. Il was a Methodist, SIR" an
sweTed the man; and then he added
bluntly: "And can tell you, sir. that
it would take more than going to an
other war and losing my other arm, to
change me-" Quite right" said the
surgeon, who suppressed the smile
that was inclined to come to the sur
face. Then he had the tact to ask his
question in another form. which elicit
ed the fact that the soldier had been a
carpenter as well as Methodist in
days OF peace.-Youth's Companion.
