The Railway Beautiful.

The work done by our railroads has
been of great value because SO widely
extended. Those who travel are car
ried from one spot of beauty to an
other. In some cases the whole line
OF the road has been improved by
planting choice shade trees and orna-
mental shrubs. One of our Western
roads is lined for several hundred
miles on both sides with superb chest
nuts and evergreens. The removal of
the unsightly and the suggestion Of
cleanliness about the depots has been
specially useful. Improvements be-
come a passion. Near such depots
cottages are sure to be neat and yards
clearly. This class of improvement
necessarily involves the conventional,
and that is not always a bad thing in
a village. We can enjoy reading the
name of station in clam shells. Color
and contrast are perhaps the main
thing. A group of handsome shrub
berry, of lilacs or weigelias with plenty
OF roses, cheers the tired traveller and
gives him something pleasant to think
about.

HIS MOST SUCCESSFUL SPEECH

Senator Depew's Neat Compliment to
His Better Half.
Regularly. Chauncey M. Depew must
submit to course of questioning for
the benefit of some newspaper or mag
azine article, or for the adornment of
the pages of work on Successful
Americans"
The senator never yawns or seems
bored when this trial comes, but al
ways has a welcome for the inter
viewer.
Senator, of all your speeches,
which one, in your estimation, do you
consider the greatest and most effec-
tive?" was asked in the course of an
interview.
Il have one in mind, but not copy
of it, for the speech has not appeared
in print and never will"
Twill you let me have the facts 2"
exclaimed the now excited interview
er, scenting a scoup.
"Why, yes" said Mr.. Depew, his
eyes full of mirth, my greatest and
most effective speech, Judging from
results, was my speech of proposal,
delivered some time before my mar
riage."

Unfortunate Combination.

The chief inn at small English
village had been known as the Clown,
but the landlord, by way of compli-
nent to certain bishop who had re-
sided there for some time, substi.
tuted the Bishop as sign.
An innkeeper close by, who had fire
cuently envied the host of the Clown
his good fortune in securing prepon-
dcrance of visitors, took advantage of
the change and put up the sign Of the
Clown over his own door.
The landlord Of the Bishop was dis
mayed at seeing so many of his old
customers deposited at his rivals
house; so. by way OF remedy, he
painted, in big red letters. under the
portrait of the Bishop-"This is the
cid Clown"

MANY NoRLEMEN IN PRISON.

Aristocracy Well Represented in Euro
pean JaiIs.
A Vienna paper states that few
people have any idea of the large
number of men and women of noble
lirth undergoing penal servitude on
the continent.
1t is estimated that Russian prisons
alone contain 10000 aristocrats, while
there are several thousand noblemen
in the penal establishments of Italy.
Two dukes Of Notarbactolo are, for in
stance, at present undergoing penal
servitude for life in the Italian prison
of La Maddalena for the brutal MUIR
Ger of young officer whom they had
swindled at card playing and who had
threatened to denounce them as card
sharpers.
Among the convicts in Belgian
prison are Prince Charles de Looz-
Coswarem, who committed number
Of gigantic frauds and one crime Of
violence, and the Marquis of Varela,
Tor the murder of his own mother.
In France there are several hun
dred titled aristocrats in prison, and

DEBT OF GREAT BRITAIN.
Expenses Of Boer War Caused an I'm
n1enSe Addition


nense Addition.
The BOer war caused an increase in
the national debt of Great Britain of
over $3.50, 100000, and the present total
OF $3,S42, 216,930 is higher than it has
been since 1876.
The increase in the debt was not, Of
course, the total cost of the war to
England, for taxes were raised on in
comes and on luxuries and necessar-
les alike, but the sum mentioned is
what future generations will have to
pay for the possession of the Trans
vaal Republic, and the Orange Free
State. The Crimean war of 1861 only
added trife over $41,O0O,00O to the
national debt, and the cost of the other
numerous wars, chiefly of conquest in
Africa, was by comparison small.
Enormous as the debt of Great Brit
ain is, Englishmen say, however, that
it is insignificant when compared to
the $4,277,367 1856 that the nation owed
in 1886, and it's population or it's
wealth and prosperity were not near
what they are to-day. incidentally it
may be remarked that England looks
to Lord Beaconsfield's investment in
Suez canal shares to help in paying off
a good portion of the debt. Purchased
in 1876 for $17,660,200, they are now
valued at $139,680,000.

THE PRIVILEGE OF WEALTH.
Only MiIIionaires Can Wear Straw
Hats in Winter.

Apropos of the passing of the straw.
hat, Senator Stewart of Nevada once
made remark, that throws an inter-
esting sidelight on the question of
winter headgear for men. He and
newspaper friend were walking down
Pennsylvania avenue during last.
Christmas week. The Senator's head
was capped by the exquisite. creation
of Panama build that has come to be,
a familiar sight on the streets Of
Washington. The hats cost ranged
into the three-fgure grade of dollars,
and the Panama looked every inch Of
it. But it was in midwinter, with snow
on the ground, and a thermometer well
down the scale. 1t was the only straw
in active use in town.
"a straw is the only hat that is,
comfortable" Quoth the friend, land
il 1 could, I'd wear one the year
around. If had one like yours, Sena-
tor I'd wear it winter and summer
You couldn't afford to wear it now,"
replied the Senator.
why not?"
Because if anybody but myself
wore this hat in winter, he'd be stamp
ed as too poor to get another

The AGE of Beauty.

The physical beauty of women
should last until they are past fifty.
Nor does beauty reach it's zenith
under the age of thirty-five or forty.
Helen of Troy came upon the stage at
forty. Cleopatra was past thirty when
she met Antony. Anne of Austria was
thirty-eight when described as the
most beautiful woman in Europe. The
old saying about sweet sixteen is ex-
ploded by the truer knowledge that
the highest beauty does not dwell i'm
lmmaturity, for beauty does not mean
alone the fashions of form and color
ing found in a waxen doll. A woman's
lest and richest .years are from
twenty-six to forty. No woman is
passe at any earlier day.

The Women Vote.

A man with daughters need not feel
ashamed in New Zealand. He's a po-
litical power, a big man in the district
in which he resides. All women over
twenty-one years of age can vote, so
the man with many daughters often
decides a closely contested election.
Then, again, women are much sought
after matrimonially, for they are out
numbered by the men two to one.
There is no need for woman becom-
ing an old maid in New Zealand ex-

Norwegian Iron Fields.

Discoveries of extensive iron ore
fields have again been made in north
ern Norway, this time in the district
Of South Varanger, on the coast of the
lay of the same name, near the Rus
sian border lines. The discovery was
first made some two months ago.
Samples of the ore sent to Christiania
have been analysed by the municipal
chemist, who pronounces it to contain
as low as 0.O7 per cent titanium,
which is considered very good indi-
cation. The presence of titanium in
large quantities retards the melting
process of the ore, and consequently
reduces it's value.
