wish for some time, and II caused some
uneasiness as to results.
Passenger Traffic Manager Edwards, of
the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton. and
Big Four. and Rhein, of the Lake Erie g.

the general passenger agents on a special
train over the Grand Trunk road to the

The Pennsylvania is now looked upon as
the most valuable railroad property in the
country. The company is earning three
times the s per cent. dividend that it pays
on its stock. The physical condition of the
property is excellent. The management is
considered among the best in the country.
The road has remarkable dividend rec
ord, and in addition to its own enormous
earnings 1t possesses equity very valuable
in other property.
In consequence of the scarcity of coal
the New England roads are buying hard
wood to heat their stations, substituting
wood Tor coal stoves. Agents of the VAN
derbilt roads have contracted for several
thousand cords of hard wood. Railroad
men say that should the coal strike come
to a speedy end the price of coal is likely
to remain so high that its use for heating
purposes will be too expensive. All the
roads, so far as known, have coal enough
for locomotives to last all winter.
President Ramsey, of the Wabash, has
recommended that the company expend
$4,000 on new shops for the eastern and
middle division of their line. With the
line extended TO Pittsburg Baltimore and
through Michigan to the Northwest, as
well as to St. Louis and Chicago, such
shops are desirable. At Ironville, o., where
the Wheeling shops are located, there is
plenty of room and also dockage where
lumber can be landed at minimum cost.
President Ramsey's recommendation, il is
generally conceded. will result in the cree
ton or monster car, and probably locomo-
tive shops.

Before laying oilcloth, cover the

Make splendid furniture polish

USE GOOD ENGLISH.
Young People Should he Thoroughly
Drilled in Formal
Grammar.

Strange as it may seem, most of the
young men and women of to-day who
aspire to become influential orators
or writer's, even those who are grad
yates of high schools and colleges,
find that, like Dwight L. Moody, the
evangelist, they have not mastered
grammar. For nearly 20 years, edu-
Gators, almost without exception, have
been trying, with but indifferent sue
cess, to make various sugar-coated
1anguage-lesson series do the work for
'merly accomplished by old-fashioned
'grammars in giving students an accu-
rate working knowledge of their moth
er tongue. One natural consequence of
these attempts is that the number is
comparatively much smaller than it
once was of so-called we'll educated
lyoung people who can tell with GER
itainty whether or not they speak and
write just what they wish to express,
says Success.
Thorough drill in formal grammar
should be made a prominent feature in
every school whose pupils are not less
than ten years old or more than
i25. But inasmuch as this sub
.ject, as usually presented, is found to
he very difficult and uninteresting for
pupils under ten years of age, it may
well be preceded by an elementary
course in language lessons. which will
.enkindle interest and prepare the mind
for the solid work in analysis and con-
struction which should follow.

CLANS TRAP FOUNDERS.
A Somewhat Fishy story That Comes
from "a Town on the Coast
of Maine.

The story of how "Sam" Perkins,
the village barber, has succeeded in
cutting the price of founders, by
using chained CLAIMS for bait and
making hitherto elusive fish an
easy captive, is exciting considerable
interest, and outside of Standpoint
has caused some incredulity, says
the New York Herald.
Such CLAIMS as are taken out with
the fork or lifted from their element
by receding ice at once begin an ear
nest struggle to hide below earth,
opening and closing their shells in
an effort to bury themselves.
The barber also knew that when a
clam closes its shell the grip is firm
and lasting. With these two facts
in mind he proceeded to work out
his scheme.
AS soon as the great ice cakes
from the Penobscot river had
grounded in Gundalow Cove Perkins
went to the flats at low water and
digging pail of large CLAIMS, bored
a hole in every shell and inserted
chain in the holes, leaving the clans
lying about on top of the mud. Then
he cleared several rods of the flats
of ice, casting it adrift in fragments,
and waited for the tide to come in.
Until the barber had removed the
ice the flats were cold and lacking
in the good cheer which fish require,
but as soon as the chilly cakes had
gone the sun warmed the mud, and
when the tide came stopping along
the beach the founders followed,
seeking out the warmest spots as
suitable places to take sun bath.
A founder is constructed on the
plan of a snowshoe. mostly width
and length, with no thickness that
is worthy of attention. AS the fish
spread their fat sides out on the
warm ooze and made ready to take
comfort their fins and tails came in
contact with the CLAIMS, which had
opened their shells and were striving
to cover themselves with mud. No
sooner did the delicate mechanism
the founders than the shells closed
with a snap and held on with the
zeal of bulldogs.
When the tide receded the barber
walked along the beach with a bas-
ket and picked up his chained CLAIMS,
nearly all of which had caught one
or more founders.

has qnite an interesting history.
1t was carried in the war of 1872
by James Robb, the grandfather of

the battle of Fort Defiance on the
Elk River. He later had it with
him while he carried the mail be-
tween Philadelphia and Baltimore.
AT that time he made stops and
changed horses in Wilmington, and

The Old Oaken Bucket.
A PARODY.

A PARODY.
A poet once sung of bucket
That hung in an old fashioned we'll,
And threw DER it the magical glamor
OF forest, and meadow and dell.
But this verse is of boro' surroundings,
And trust you will not call me bore,
When write of the thirst quenching drinks,
To be had at the corner drug store
To be sure, there's no moss on the glasses,
That give forth their resounding clinks;
But from the nice marble fountain beside you
Can be drawn most excellent of drinks;
With flavors of lemon, vanilla and all,
Without any fears of lurking bacila,
That's hidden in the old we'll wall
And instead of pulling and hauling
To bring up that bucket OF old
You merely go down into your pocket,
For a coin of the government mould.
And now without any fault finding,
think you will with me agree,
That the old oaken bucket once longed for,
Wasn't all that it was cracked up to be.

The Typical Tramp.

There is no such thing as typical
tramp incarnate, says Cloudesley
Johns, tramp himself. in an article
on tramps. He has his existence only
in comic weekly and the newspaper
supplement. The average hobo under
a different environment would be the
average man; under his existing en-
vironment he approximates thereto,
though that environment tends strong
ly to multiplication Of types rather
than to uniformity. Consider that
your hobo travels many thousand
miles in year, visiting places of in
terest and large cities, besides-in
majority of cases-doing many differ
ent kinds of work. And even the yeeg
man, the unmitigated beggar of the
road, with his telltale visage and man
ner, is widely varied in general appear
ance, habits of thought and business
methods. - Frank Leslie's Popular
