Report on Railways.

The seventeenth annual report of
the interstate commerce commission
says in part:
the year ending June 20, 1903, shows
railway returns for 201.457 miles of
line, which is approximately 9S per
cent of the entire mileage in the Unit
ed States. Gross earnings for that
year amounted to $3.50, $50. 0.679, or
s9,3S2 per mile of line. Operating ex-
penses aggregated s1,24S, ,520,4S3, or
S6,l91 per mile. leaving net earnings
of s641. $50, 1856. or S3,1S5 per mile. Eff
ty-three million dollars in taxes are
not included in this statement of oper-
ating expenses. Compared with the
previous year the net earnings are
greater by some s34,000.00O and stock
dividends are greater by nearly SlO,-
100000. In 1897 the gross earnings
averaged only s6.122. and operating ex-
penses S4,106 per mile of line.
In discussing the Elkins law, II is
pointed out that proceedings can now
be taken against corporation, where
as the beneficiary of an Illegal trans
action formerly escaped. The report
says increased traffic would enable the
railroads to operate profitably without
advanced rates. 1t is recommended
that fixed charges for private cars be
established.
The gross earnings of railways for
the year ending June 30, 1903, were
81 $50. .150,67?. The gross earnings for
the previous year were s1.726. .380.26

Very warlike is the aspect Of a singu-

day as he was trimming a hawthorn

At once he went to work, and, after

A Historic Tavern.

Shakespeare's Head in Wych street,
London, is being torn down. This tav-
ern was intimately associated with the
first production of Punch, for it was
here in a large upstairs room that was
first mooted the idea of a new comic
weekly by a few f~requenters Of the
house, including Henry Mayhem, Ster-
ling Coyne and w. II. Wills. Mark
Lemon, afterward editor, had previous
to the inception of the new journal
been assisting his mother in managing
the public house, a fact which led to
the famous gibe of "the literary pot
man." In those bohemian days Of the
roaring forties taverns were largely
used by members Of the liberal profess
sions as clubhouses. 1t was first pro-
posed to call the new paper Pen and
Palette, but at the suggestion of Henry
Mayhem, for some time coeditor, the
present title was adopted.

me of the fact that very few people
know what hidden talent there is in b

piano in one of the private parlorS.
That's not so.

talent aside for a moment, the best
