National Association of Car Accountants,
whose business il is to keep watch over the
cars Of the different lines. make II point TO
detect and punish wiful offenders IN this

The average life OF a freight car IS fifteen
years, and If several years OF its youth IS occu-

Il does not prove a very profitable investment
The average cost OF a freight car IS SIX hundred

a Dazed Woman.
Only single cabbage remained OF
the wagon load of produce with which
the huckster had started In. 1t was q

ster was alive to the chance Of selling
it, although the hour was late. AS he
glanced from side to side of the street
seeking a purchaser, says writer ir
the New York Sun. he was hailed from
doorway in housewives cry:
What are you selling?"
Whoa, Bill" said the vender to his
horse, and to the prospective customer
he called. "only one cabbage left, mis-
sus!"

the curb.
Sure, as good as any ever came

How much do you want for it?"

The woman who had just bought the
last head Of cabbage was astonished by
his calm assertion that he had one
left when she knew the bottom OF his
cart was bare. She waited to see how
he would satisfy the second woman.
When the last conner said, "Pll take
It," the huckster turned calmly to the
owner Of the cabbage, took 1t from heI
arms and handed 1t to the new custom

from her fingers.
AS the first woman stood with mouth
open, too astonished to protest. the
second walked away. Then the wom-
an deprived Of her cabbage found

MONEY NEEDED.
Fabulous Sum Required to Develop the
Railways.


Suppose that only % per cent addi-
tional tracks with necessary terminals
and equipment, making 33 per cent, Is
to be built during the next five years;
or say, in round numbers, $4,000 miles
OF tracks as the requirement for the
country to meet immediate needs.
No practical man would furnish the
facilities required. including additional
equipment and terminal facilities. for
less than $4,000 mile. The question
OF terminals alone Is almost prohibi-
tive. Terminals now In use were ac-
quired when property was cheap, and
can be enlarged only by heavy out
lays. In many cities it is not even a
question of cost, since the area neces-
sary to handle railroad business prop
erly is not to be had at any price. The
new work then, would amount to S5,-
500, 100000 in round numbers, or
yearly average of s1,10O,000,O0O. That
Is the sum which should be spent be-
fore the commerce of the country can
be moved properly. 1t is just twice the
total amount of the bonded debt Of the
United States after the close OF the
civil war. 1t is more than twice the
entire currency in circulation In the
country. and only a little less than
twice the deposits in all the savings
banks in the United States put togeth-
er.-Leslie's Weekly.

Ganymede.
1t Is possible to take two diametri-
cally opposite views Of the walters lot
One can look at him as a sort Of !benev-
olent high priest of the interior. smil-
ing blandly on devotees and encourag-
ing the timid to lay their livers and
digestions as sacrifices on the altar
In a word, one can fancy him taking a
pleasure in his work. Or one may see
him through gloomier glasses, as does
writer in a daily contemporary. Il

he. quite a detestable existence. Peo-
pie eating when one is not eating one
self are always rather, horrid. Then
the poor waiter Is scolded for the
cooks faults, and to be scolded unrea-
sonably by an eating man (oneself,
perhaps, hungry seems to me the
depth of servile degradation" 1t GER
tainly must be a trifle hard to bear,
though we have never yet seen q wal
ter betray much emotion under the
strain. The nearest a waiter has ever
come to losing his impassive calm In
our presence was on an occasion when
a youth Of nineteen informed him that
he. the waiter. did not know how to
pour out champagne, and, snatching
the bottle from his hand, said. Now

most less of an insult to have told Mr..
Rockefeller that he was ignorant of

did not know the first word about

whole. we fancy. 1t is not unpleasant
to be a waiter: it is not every one who

some sort of barrier, but 1t will have
to be even more extensive than the
massive work which was first COM
pleted.
AS already stated, this was thrown
up by an army Of 1000 men with loco
motives, mules and horses. In build
ing 1t about 1,2O0 piles were used to
help to form a foundation and over
10, 900 tons of rock were dumped into
the break In the rivers bank. Some
of the rock had to be transported sew
eral hundreds miles.
In forming a foundation for the dam
method which Is used to build leN ees
upon the Mississippi and the Missouri
was employed. This was to weave
enormous mattresses Of willow branch
es which were sunk upon the bottom
of the place where the dam was to be
erected. About forty miles Of steel
cable was used to bind these mat
tresses together.
The object Of the mattress was to
picNtHt thC "aNCt VI thO hh'SA AN1@>
working under the dam and undermin-
ing it. But at this point In the river
there is practically no bottom-at least
for a hundred feet, because the bed
is composed of an enormous mass of
silt which has been deposited in vari-
Gus floods. So when the spring floods
came down the Colorado they washed
out the formation beneath the barrier.
which was nearly mile long and over
twenty feet in height. In a few hours
the work Of months was undone.
The last break of the river also car
ried away nearly all Of the town Of
Mexicali. Although II was situated
upon bluff fifty feet above the ordi-
nary bed Of the stream, the river cut
through the bluff, melting the earth and
turning it into liquid mud.
Already. the Colorado has covered
over $4,000 acres of the irrigated land
in the Imperial valley and has ruined
other farms by the gulleys which 1t
has cut through the soil.
