7N the eastern part of New Hamp
 shire, we'll down in the southern
 half of the State, there is long, low range of hills, the highest of which is known as Blue hill, or Croydon noun tain. This peak Is nearly 5000 feet in height, towering in friendly rivalry to its neighbor, the historic Kearsarge, not thirty miles away.
 Nearly the whole of the mountain Is included in the famous Corbin park, a tract of 2S,000 acres inclosed as a game preserve by the late Austin Corbin, and probably one of the largest In the Uni- ted States.
 A large portion Is heavily wooded, and, until within a few years, was the haunt of animals as wild and savage as any that now roam in the wilderness. As late as 1867 a wolf was shot on this mountain, and bears have been seen there even since that date.
 In the fall of the opening year of the century the people of all the towns around Croydon mountain joined in a great hunt for a bear whose destruct- iveness had caused them a, great deal of trouble. Scarcely a farmer in the whole section but had experienced a loss in his sheepfold, pigpen or barn. yard, and it was determined to hunt Bruin to the bitter end. The bear was believed to be an unusually large and ferocious animal, hence the feeling against him was aggravated quite as much by fear as by the desire to pun ish him.
 The party organized at the foot of the mountain, and formed a great circle of men. boys and dogs. The signal horn was sounded for starting and continued around the whole circle, which signal was to be repeated every half hour un- til all arrived at the top of the noun tain.
 All through that clear October day the sound of horns and the barking of dogs startled the echoes of the wooded hills. People in the valleys heard the repeated signaling, but their listening ears could distinguish nothing to indi- cate the success of the hunters.
 High up on the eastern slope of the mountain was the Andrews homestead, which comprised an ordinary sixty-acre lot, with the farm buildings erected by Mir Andrews. The settler had died a year or two previously, and the work devOlved upon Jerry. a boy of 15, sturdy and freckle-faced, and somewhat large

Modern books, however rapidly they may deteriorate from other causes. are protected from bookworms by the chemicals used in paper-making. Such. at least, is the conclusion of Dr. Garnett. who, after forty-eight years of service as keeper of printed books at the British museum. is able to say that he has seen only one bookworm, and that was imported from Crete.

ON THE RAIL


The report of the interstate COM
merce commission on the condition Of
the railway industry of the United
States in the fiscal year ended June
30, 1899, tells in facts and figures
story Of progress and prosperity The
total single track mileage in the United
States was 1879 294-an increase for the
year of 2,S9S miles The number OF
persons employed on the railroads was
92S.924, an increase Of 54,366 The
gross earnings from operation amount
ed to 1,313,610.118, being s66,2S4, 497
more than the year preceding. The
operating expenses aggregated 1885,,
96S, 999. TO reach the amount avail
able for dividends ii is necessary to
deduct from the total net income-that
is, the earnings from operation plus
the earnings from all other sources
the amounts paid out in interest taxes,
rent and permanent improvements.
The total deductions amounted 10
s44t 200.2S9. and 164,154S13 was left
for dividends and surplus. The amount
~ dividends declared during the year
Sas $111.0 93G. The amount Of capt.
tai stock paving no dividend was still
very large. but there was a decrease in
the number of railroads In the hands
Of receivers the figures being II
as against "a at the end of 1898. An
important fact Is that the compensa-
ton Of employees represents so per
cnet. Of the operating expenses and 40
per cent. of the gross earnings. DUR
ing the year $500, 1886 was paid in
salaries and wages amount $1I,-
459. 635 in excess OF that paid In the
year preceding the last general cleo
ton. Arrangements have beene made
for the construction Of about $4,000
miles OF new road, and this means en-
ployment Of 279,00O more railroad men
and the payment OF $2S000o 600 addi-
tional in wages.
