a Bible meeting, and savored of nothing
more than the usual discussion OF such

attendance, and Mr.. Gel was moved 10
call attention to this matter. He said he

Used and Unused Rails.

The elevated structure of the Man
haitian road has long been sustaining
a weight of four tons to every sixty
feet Of track more than is necessary
The laying Of new rails was. begun
many months ago, but most Of the
laying has never advanced further
than a mere stringing out. The new
rails weigh 100 pounds to the yard
and each is. 20 yards in length. What
puzzles the obseryant passenger from
day to day is the corrosion Of the I'M
used rails with sealy rust, whereas the
old rails on which trains are con:
stantly travelling remain bright. This
brightness is not confined to the head
of the rail alone, which friction might
be expected to keep polished, but ex-
tends over web, base and fsh-plate
The philosophy of the thing is simple,
but passengers have not looked it up.

the labor which most men would deem

cations have revealed a capacity for
work of a remarkable character. It is
said that he has a collection of more
than two thousand of his own paint

it is the development OF character, the
