THE HAPPY DANCE.

Is tbis the girl I knew,
 So proud. so lovely? Who thrilled me through and through. If she spoke only?
 So fair, so fine was she,
 So far away from mel
 Now her eyes shine for me Shine for me only. Is this the face I knew. Its secret keeping? Are these the eyes too blue
 q tnOughO for weeping2
 Now such a child is she.
 Dim are the eyes I see
 When she looks up at me I'd swear her weeping. But last night the fiddle played A tune that never before Any fiddle in mortal hands had played As we swept over the floor. bent and spoke word;
 And never an answer came. Put a blush that was hid in her heart
 and heard. And it lit in sudden flame. Il lit in a sudden fire
 That lit her lovers life Sweep higher. Q fiddle bows, higher
 and higher,
 She is to be my wife! Is this the town I knew, So dull. so dreary? Is this the heart that grew Therein SO weary"
 Now. now. 90 kind is she. Green grown the trees to me Bright is the town to me Winters grown H cary. T-o- Ioet night the fd6Ie played
 \ tune that never before Am fiddle in mortaI hands had played i And my heart is playing it OCT. ] u C HIN NE,E.

During 1901 there were put down in the United States 5,C57 miles Of new
 railways, this estimate THE being that of the sta WORLDS tisticaI bureau Of the RAILROADS. treasury. The increase
 is gre-ter than has been recorded for any year since 1890. and brings the trackage of this country up to 199,S7S miles. exclusive of the large and rapidly growing mileage of urban and suburban lines operated by cleo tricity. The railway mileage of the whole world is estimate by the bu reau at 4S434S miles: that of the Uni ted States. therefore. constitutes more than two-fifths Of the total. Roughly speaking. this may be taken as a meas ure of the productive energy of the American people as compared with that of the entire population of the globe.
 Of the total mileage now open to traffic North America has 226.657 miles, Europe 16S. .6O5. Asia 35.5s0. South Amer ica ZS. 354. Africa 15 SEQ and Australia .2s2 Mexico. vhich ia 1875 had but one railway 264 miles long, from Vera Cruz to the capital city, now has a network of 9.G03 miles. while the Can adian systems now cover 17.657 miles of track-which goes to show the advan- tage of having a restless and ener- prising nation for a ,neighbor. Of course. the Canadian and Mexican governments are entitled to credit for their encoura cement of railway con struction. but it is q fair assumption that but for the proximity of the Uni ted States and the marvellous expan- sion of American industry and com merce the greater part of the steam roads in the adjoining countries would not have been built.
 Of the half million miles Of rail- ways in the world about one-third are owned by the governments of the countries wherein they are located | Nine-tenths of the German roads are ! owned by the federal government or by the various states comprised in the : empire. Two-thirds Of the Russian roads were built and are owned and | operated by the government as rC nearly one-half those of sustria-Hun- gary. Nearly all the Italian roads ar' government property, but are oper- ated by companies under leases. Th' republic of France, in accordance witt the terms Of the franchises undel which the railroads within it's borderl were constructed. will tecome the pro p1ietor Of nearly au cf them by tn middle of the present century. A larg proportion of the railway mileage il operation in India. (25.OS5 miies) is pub lie property. while practically all tn railways in Australasia are owned b. the various colonies. Anyone ma, draw whatever moral he pleases fror these facts. There is one considera ton of weighty import. however, i this connection.
 It is significant that in the Unite
 States, where transportation facilitie
 have been furnished by the adventUr 5 of private capital the people hay greater and cheaper facilities than ar
 afforded in other countries. These ar
 after all, the main considerations.
