RAILWAYS OF EGYPT.
The PripcfpaI Line Runs from Cairo
TO Alexandria and Has Eight
Trains Day.

Most of the railways in Egypt have
been built and are owned by the state,
and in the Railway Magazine Mr.. \.
Vale gives some description Of them.
There is story told of the old Cairo
to Suez line, first opened in 1859, which
shows how easily its conductors used
to take matters. On one occasion, the
engine of the mail train was found
short of water in the middle of the
run. Consequently it was uncoupled
and sent to the next water tank to have
the tender filled, while the train was
left alone on the road for an hour or
two. Irregularities like these and ac-
cidents frequently occurred, which
brought the line into discredit, and in
1865, one year before the opening Of
the Suez canal, it was-at least tenn
porarily- abandoned, says Westmin-
ster Gazette.
The Alexandria line is now consid
cred the crack line of Egypt. lis by
far the most frequented line in the
country as regards passenger as well
as goods traffic, and the only one hav-
ing double track from end to end.
There are no fewer than eight trains
daily each way between Cairo and
Alexandria, besides some local trains
between country stations. OF these
eight trains, four are fast ones, doing
the journey in three hours five min
utes, giving an average running speed
of A miles an hour. The railway sta
tions are small, the principal one at
Alexandria, place Of 100000 inhab-
ltants-having but two platforms, one
of which is very seldom used.
The railway from Ismailia to Port
Said is characterized by Mr. Vale as
"a disgrace" The Suez Canal COM
pany, to whom it belongs, officially
call it a "steam tramway" which is
more appropriate name for it. The
gauge of this toy railway-which was
only built as recently as 1Sg3-is but
Is centimetres two feet five inches).
The line has some 80 passenger coach
es, and eight omotives-miniature
tender engines, with four-coupled
wheels about four feet in diameter,
and a leading pair of wheels, or even
boyle, and the trains cover the 50miles
from lsmailia to Port Said in about
three hours, the load being 90 to 20
tons, and the road perfectly level. En-
gines, carriages, rails, etc, are all Of
French make.

FOUND IN A LETTUCE HEAD.
Fine Collection OF Microbes Gathered

scientist.

There is really such a thing as get
ting too much for ones money, as, for
instance, when one buys lettuce at
five cents q bunch and has a menagerie
and a flower garden throwniu.
Even the casual consumer Of salads
occasionally has q temporary loss Of
appetite from the discovery If a large
white scale or a small green worm
among the crisp crinkles Of his lettuce.
But these discoveries are only faint
suggestion Of the glories ef animal life
which Turk undetected in those same
inviting leaves. A man by the name Of
Ceresole, having found more than the
usual number Of insects pasturing
upon his plate Of salad, went cut into
the market place and bought samples
Of lettuce, andive, radishes, celery and
the like.
The willy Ceresole washed his mar
keting in sterilized water and exam
ined the sediment. \ simple micro
scopieal survey revealed o uxuriant,
if not pleasing, fauna of 81 species,
comprising amoelae and anguillulae.
along with the eggs of the Tueuia, Oxy-
urls aNarides and Ankylostoma.
Not content with these pleasing
revelations, the curious Ceres0le un-
dertook meteorological investigation
and added TO his previous discoveries
rich menagerie Of microbes, includ-
ing mtcrococci, staphy lococci, strep-
tococci, sarcinae.
There were others. But why enlarge
upon the matter. Enough Is enough.
And the moral Of this is you can't be
too careful about washing your sal.

What One Of Barrels Very Prominent
Stone Cutters and Member o.
the Union Has to Say Of Yer
mont's Most Capable
Physician.

For the past eight years | had been
a great sufferer from kidney, bladder
and liver trouble My bowels were
very constipated and ! had indiges-
ton so badly that many times a glass
of water would distress me. Heart
burn was an everyday occurrence, |
was very nervous and exeitable and
unable TO rest nights, and in fact /
felt more tired in the morning as
rule than when retiring at night. My
sexual organs we're very much I'M

would seem 20 be filled with a mu-
cous, | was almost constantly hawk
ing and splitting and many OF my
friends feared was going into con-
sumption. My urine was very highly
colored and had TO get up from five
TO eight time in the night.
I'm this serious condition ! had con-
suited physicians at Fox Island, Me-,
my old home, in Connecticut, Boston,
Springfield, Mass, Barre, Montpelier
and Burlington, VT Some OF the
doctors said / had Bright's disease;
Others said that / had a bad case OF
catarrh, which not only affected my
head. but my whole system; other
doctors said / was in consumption
and the only hope for me was
change Of climate; while still other
physicians said that / had Brights
disease, liver complaint and that !
was passing away the vital fluid OF
life in my urine.
In this serious condition, on Aug.
II, 1901, more dead than alive, ! sent
for Dr. Morrow, although my wife
and many OF my would-be friends adj
vised me not to do so, believing that
my case was hopeless and that would
throw away my money, as in the past,
trying TO get well.
About five o'clock on Aug. II, 1901,
DR.. Morrow called at my house, gave
me the most rigid examination that !
had ever been through and then told
me that IL | would strictly follow his
directions, land not listen to the ieal-
GUS know-it-alls,) that in three months
time he would put me in condition to
go TO cutting stone again. This
seemed almost incredible, but while
there is life there is hope, so at once
commenced taking his treatment and
true to his word everything that he
told me came to be true.

been restored and today | am the
father OF as sweet a little baby boy in

While am well aware that there
arc many jealous people that would

they could be cured, nevertheless !

In the treasury department at Wash
ington the claim is advanced that for
1901 the United States leads the world
in the output of gold. silver, copper,
coal. iron, steel and oil, making it the
supreme unit in the mineral universe,
with many of these only
partly developed and with no official
recognition in the presidents cabinet.
Besides exceeding any other country,
the land of the free" also exceeded
her own best records in the year just
closed, with the single exception of
copper. For the latter, with declining
prices and restricted market. the 1901
output is estimated at 695 900 ,00C
pounds, or 265,625 long tons, or about
5000 tons below the figures Of 1900.

oTERo,s CONFIRMATION.

The confirmation by the senate of
the nomination of Governor Otero t.
the governorship of New Mexico, an
office he now fills with much credit,
will be received with pleasure by his
many friends in Colorado, says the
Denver Republican.
Governor Otero is well known in this
state and especially in Denver. having
been a frequent visitor in this city.
He is a native of New Mexico, being
a member of one of the old Spanish
American families of that territory.
He is thoroughly familiar with it's
needs and conditions, and no better
selection for its chief magistrate could
have been made by President Roose-
welt.
His nomination and confirmation is
in line with a wise policy to select as
far as possible the principal officials of
the territories from among men who
are al home in the communities where
their duties will be discharged. 1t is
a home rule policy which finds favor
in every part of the country.

GOOD ADVICE.

James Parton concluded a very sug-
gestive article upon the habits and
death of Bayard Taylor, whom he had,
as a personal friend. warned against
the danger of wine and beer drinking
and smoking, as follows:
Mental labor is not hostile 10 health
and life; but | am more than ever
convinced that a man who lives by
his brain is of all men bound to avoid
stimulating his brain. In this eli
mate, to stimulate the brain by alco-
hol and tobacco is only a slow kind
of suicide. Even the most moderate
use of the mildest wine is not with
out danger, because the. peculiar ex-
haustion caused by severe mental
labor is a constant and urgent temp
tation to increase the quantity and
strength of the potation. | would
say to every young man in the United
States, if | could reach him, if you

The report of the serious illness of
Pope Leo XIII will be learned with
genuine regret by people of all creeds
throughout the civilized world. During
his long pontifical reign over a great
church he has commanded the respect
of not only his own people but those
who may differ from him upon ecclesi-
astical questions. His influence has al
ways been eXerted for the good of hui
mainly and while he has labored for
the upbuilding of the Catholic church
he has endeavored to bring about a
better condition among the people of
the civilized world. When the United
States acquired possession of the Phil
ippines he was one of the first to rec

the people of those islands and the

The LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

A newspaper, while a private bust
ness, is a public institution just as
much SO in many ways as is a school
or a church. Upon the conduct of a
newspaper depends very largely the
morals. the intelligence. the improve
ment socially, industrially and relig-
iously of the community or city. The
newspaper fosters-or else it is recre-
ant to its trust-education, public and
private benevolence, good citizenship,
honest government. patriotism, the re-
ligion of humanity, and the churches
so far as they are true to their work
in the aiding and uplifting of men.
