Railroads Ready for Work.

Both the Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania are ready TO begin work on the i'm
provemerts provided in the ordinance just
passed by the Council OF Pittsburg. An
official of the Pennsylvania says that the
company is in a position TO begin the con-
struction Of the Duquesne elevated line
without delay, and G. l.. Potter, third vice
president, and in charge of operation of
the Baltimore & Ohio, says that company s
plans have been ready for nearly two years
and money is available TO prosecute the i'm
provement as fast as it can be done. These
two undertakings will represent an outlay
of 100000. The proposed warehouse of
the Pennsylvania will cost $50 900 and the
elevated structure will cost about 5000 go.
The Baltimore & Ohio has already under
taken it's improvements at Glenwood. The
plan calls for the abandonment of nearly
a dozen streets which will be utilized for
shop and yard room. Vice President Pot
ter, of the b. e. o., says the tracks could
be changed without ordinances for the ter
minal being passed, and the company will
not wait until the other ordinances are
passed TO begin work. The ordinances call
for completion of the contemplated i'm
provements of the Pennsylvania within two
years, and all official of the company states
that the elevated line can easily be built
within that time, but recent conditions in
the labor world and also the inability OF
the bridge companies TO make prompt de-
liveries may delay the work.

The MOther-in-Law in India.
Evervhodv,s Magazine.


The one great worry of a Hindu woman's
life may be an aged bore of a mother-in-
law. II is amusing to find that the mother
in-law is really one of the seven Jokes of
the world. She is found everywhere, even in
most ancient SanScrit and Arabic literature.
The Mohammedan says The best OF
mothers-in-law is like a large boil" while
the subtle Hindu declares: However good
a mother-in-law may be, she is neverthe-
less a mOther-in-law." With certain sects
of Vaishnavite Brahrnins the daughter-in-
law, though living in the same house is not
allowed 10 speak 10 her husbands mother.
This is the only way TO solve the problem
When she has anything TO communicate
she does il by signs. When orders are given
she replies only by an inclination of the
head. II is said. however, that at times
she makes up for her enforced silence by
spirited and expressive gestures. and that
her dumb repartees often cause her mother
in-law to boil with rage; and that we may
expect much when the Hindu woman steps
over the footlights. Bib knows all this but
in time she viii become = mother-in- law
herself

Sales.

Cattle-Country cattle buyers must be compli-
mented this week for having curtailed their
shipments OF cattle. and thereby allowing the
market 10 recover. The receipts this week are
barely half as large last week, and on that
account statesmen have been in a position to
make better clearances. and also to dispose Of
many stale cattle that were here. The short
supplies have also stimulated prices TO some
extent and the good grades Of cattle are now
anywhere from lOc 10 25c higher than the close
o. last week but hardly high the be-
ginning of last week. IL is TO be hoped that
shlppers VIII continue TO discretion in
ketinS their cattle and avoid cTOwding the mar
ket again with undesirable stock The receipts
today were small for Friday market, and
mere were comparatively few strictly choice
KINGS represented The quality and condition OF
the offerings, however. was about good the
average represented heretofore this week. The
market opened with little competition between
buyers Tor fat stock. While in A general way
prices were not a great deal higher than yes
terday, they were strong and represented gain
OF anywhere from i0c 10 &c over a week ago.
While the gcod cattle recovered a good deal OF
the loss IN prices the common to medium butcher
grades have not. and sales to-day do not appear
70 De any better than week ago. There was
better country demand for feeding cattle to-
Gay, and the outlet easier. But prices were
not quotably higher than they have been hereto
tore this week. The bull market was again
steady and calves sold generally zoe lower, maxi
ing ceciine of 75cdS1 for the week.
