Eggs and Scalds.-The egg is a very
useful household remedy, and, as it is
one ready to hand, it should be appre-
oiated more than 1t is. For burns and
scalds (which are apt to occur in most
kitchens) there is nothing more sooth-
ing than the white of an egg. 1t
makes a skin over the burn the same
way that collodion does, and is more
soothing. In cases of burning, the
great point is excluding the air as much
as possible, and to prevent inflammation.
As the white of an egg is the best REM
edy for this, 1t should be used at once.

amount is now in the bank, subject

"AND THE LIP"

All things are transitory, but man
who has been much humored-has
grown to expect a certain length OF
rope. Therefore the inheritance which
only lasts a week, and then. before n
has time to draw a single check, van
isles away, is. not ever respectfully
transitory; it is ridiculous. The poet,
who must have a certain time over
which to spread himself, would refuse
so absurd a subject. An inheritance OF
a week, without touching a single
~guinea's worth of it is as foolish as
the imaginary winning of a great prize
in a lottery. Pleasures Of the magma

ANYTHING But the Scrap Heap.

III
The Rev. Howard W. Pope tells the
story of a Christian blacksmith who
had had a good deal of at1iction, and
was challenged by an unbelieTer to
account for il.
This was his explanation: Il don't
know that 1 can account for these
things to your satisfaction, but think
l can to my own. You know that L
am O blacksmith. I often take a piece
of iron, and put it into the ire, ana
bring it to a white heat. Then 1 put
it on the anvil, and strike it once or
twice to see if it will take a temper.
If I think it will, l plunge 1t into the
water, and suddenly change the tenn
perature. Then I put it into the fire
again, and again 1 plunge it into the
water. This I repeat several times.
Then 1 put it on the anvil, and hammer
it. and bend it, and rasp md file 1t,
and it makes some useful art1cle
which l put into a carriage, where it
will do good service for twenty-five
years. -.
IF, however, when I first strike 1t
on the anvil, I think it will not take
q temper, l throw 1t into the scrap
heap, and sell it at a halfpenny a
pound.
Now. l believe that my Heavenly
Father has been testing me to see II L,
will take a temper. He has put me
into the fire. and into the water. L;
have tried to bear it just as patientlEI
as 1 could, and my daily prayer has,
been, Lord, put me into the fire II You
will; put me into the water II You
think 1 need it; do anything You
please, O Lord; only, for Christ's sake.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-More miles OF
railway have been constructed In the
United States during the year 1906 than
have been built during any year since
the wonderful era of railway construc-
ton in the later eighties. The Rail-
way Age has made thorough can
vass, and while some Of the small roads
still are to be heard from Its returns
show that since Jan. last 6.067 miles
of track have been laid on 3SS lines in
forty-four states and territories. MAX
ing the country's total mileage 223,-
1874.
1t is necessary to go back to 1888
to find a year in which this record
has been beaten. The number OF miles
built that year was 7106. In the ban
ner year of railway construction in the
United States. 1887. the number of
miles of track laid was 1888. Since
1888 construction has fluctuatec be-
tween 1903 miles in 1895 and 5,7S6
miles in 1908.
The largest amount of railway build
ing during the year has been done' Tin
Texas. where 701 miles of track have
been laid. Louisiana and South Da-

and 3s9 respectively.
