ABOUT REGULARITY.
y Regular Life Not Always the Best
Late DR.. Moses ID. HOge an EXAMPLE

There is IL wide difference of opinion
among people as to the habit of regular
ty. Quite 4 number believe in having
a certain hour to retire, to get up and
for meals, and we believe this class is
in the majority. a gentleman who has
made a study of the habit custom, how
ever, regards it as a. piece of folly. He
says: I have had the advantage of reg
ular habits preached to me all my life,
but my own have always been irregular.
both from choice and necessity, and l
have always enjoyed excellent health.
The system becomes accustomed to hab-
its which are regularly irregular as well
as those which are simply regular. l
never knew a man with more irregular
habits than the late DR.. Moses D. Hoge,
the distinguished Presbyterian minister of
Richmond, yet he enjoyed excellent health
up to his death, at the age OF eighty, which
was the result of an accident. He made
it a. rule never to take breakfast at the
same hour twice in succession One morn
ing he would breakfast at I and the next
day at TO- Frequently he would go with
out any breakfast, He was just as irregular
in his other meals. He took exercise rs
he felt inclined. and if not he would take
life easy by the use Of a rocking chair. He
had no rules as to diet. He would drink
wine on occasion. like all the old-school
ministers, although he WAS a model of
temperance. He was also a coffee tiend
and used tobacco. He had no regular
hour for going to bed and would often
sit up all night When he did this he in
y1eriably smoked half a dozen strong cigars
and drank u cup Of strong coffee. Some
years ago he made q tour through the
Holy Land with a large party. Many OF

THE same thing is shown TO be true in
an army, where the city men always enjoy
better health and exhibit more endurance
than the men from the country 1t IS
simply due to the matter OF habit. The
country men are creatures of regular

RICHMOND TO PETERSBURG.
A Discussion of the Advantages OF the
Now Electric Line.

Mr.. VIM. Andrew kirkham, of Peters
burg, discusses in the InleX-Appeal the
electric road now building from this city
to Petersburg, and whether it Will endure
and pay. He says:
The features Of this railway that are
favorable to its continued existence and
satisfactory return in money are the
small cost of construction and equipment
and the small expense of it's operation.
The construction cost VIII embrace sub
stantiallv $500 tons of 6O-pound rails, %
miles of trolley wire, 10000 ties, 500 poles,
several light bridges and the horizontal
dwelling of the road as the cars Will run
I'D and down hills. These are the chief
necessary constructions.
The equipment vii probably consist of
10 cars-2 for daily use and tue others held
in reserve.
The expenses of operation may be con-
fined to the motive power by electricity
(steam would cost about $4,000, to four
motCrmen and four conductors, operating
sixteen hours a day, eight hours 10 each
set, to five section hands, a superinten,
dent, treasurer, and general repairs
AS compared with steam railway con-
struction this line should not require more
than IS, 600 per mile for it's complete equip
ment and construction.
AS a general statement from the fore
going assumptions we would have twenty
three miles of road at $1,000, each, equal
10 an investment Of $4,000. The expenses
would be in general about $4,000 an
nually.
The income at % cents for a round trip
on an average of 200 passengers day
from Petersburg 10 Richmond and 200
from Richmond to Petersburg would be
$50. 800; at 80 cents, $4,000 But % cents
would probably yield larger income.
There would be then:

The civil engineer in charge would prob
ably smile at the crude figures submitted
above as meeting approXlmatlVeiy the
construction and expense accounts of the
railway, but they are nevertheless con-
tributed on a subject in which the citizens
