seventy-nine companies. The paid-up
capital Of the roads is S1,09S, 1852, 206.
Up to June 30, 1902, the Canadian gov.
eminent had expended for subsidies
and construction a total sum Of $780,.

expended on consolidated fund $121,-
S70,316, a total of $25S, 800, 1854. The
total revenue to the government to the
same date had been $S4,357, 753. In
the fiscal year of 1902 574 miles Of new
road were built, and the paid-up capt.
tai was increased by $56,066,661. The
gross earnings for the year were $685.

Oil. Over twenty million passengers
and over forty-two million tons OF
freight were carried. The total num-
Der of miles run was over fifty-fve
millions. Among the countries of the
world Canada stands eighth as to its
railway mileage, and considering its
large extent Of territory and widely
spread population such a range might
well be expected. In proportion to its
population its railway mileage is ma
terially larger than that Of the United
States. The mileage of this country,
d'sregarding sidings and double track,
is now close to 100000. or something
less than eleven times that of Canada,
while the population of the United
States is fourteen times that OF Can
ada.

To Take a Nauseous Dose.

A simple method of taking castor oil
without producing any n%auseating eff
fects is to instruct the patient to wash
out the mouth with water as hot as can
be borne and then swallowing the oil,
and following this by rinsing out the
mouth we'll with hot water. The first
swallow of the water cleanses the
mouth, makes the membranes hot, so
that the oil does not stick and conse.
quently slips down easily.

Keeping Eggs for Matching.

full experiments along this line are
needed. Last spring eggs kept five
weeks seemed to hatch as well as those
which were fresh laid. How much
longer they would have kept is uncer-
tain. Probably five or six weeks is
close to the limit. These eggs were
kept in a cool rooLl in March and April
and were not turned. The daily turn
ing often advised and for which patent
racks and cases have been devised is
not strictly necessary. But old eggs
and fresh eggs should not be mixed in
the same setting. as the term Of hatch

manner of keeping eggs for Matching
is of importance at this season. If
March eggs are fertile there is no
reason why they should not be saved

trict. A young Englishman of noble
birth while out hunting falls into the
snillrace and is injured. He is res
cued by the old miller and nursed by
the pretty daughter. The usual re-
suit follows. He falls desperately in
love with the pretty miller's daughter.
The father some years before was
compelled to make loan from rich
squire of the county. The agreement
was that the money would be loaned
without interest or security If Hazel,
tiie daughter. would become the
squire's wife. All is satisfactorily
arranged. so when the father is ac-
Quainted with Hazers love for the
young Englishman rage oyercomes

home. The young couple go to Scot
land to be married by the Scottish
law. which at nrst In supposed to be
