500 yards Of calico, three pairs of

He called this a dry goods store

offered TO sell a pair of socks for

Young John spent sixty five dollars
with the Philadelphia Ledger to adj

than $10O worth of goods. He was
cautioned by those who "knew it

"The Georgia Railroad has not
been over generous in furnishing bolts
to hold the rails together.
The gentleman replied:
ooh, this is a side-track; trains
running on here never run over five
miles an hour, and it is plenty strong

examined the track more closely
and found that some rails were brok-

to the others where they met, and
others, not any. I then commented
en- the light rails used on the regular
passenger track. He replied in this
fashion:
"They are plenty heavy enough.
I failed to see it in that ight";
and remarked that they were only
so pounds to the yard rails, when
they ought to be at least 80 pounds
to the yard; that did not believe the
rails used were heavy enough to be
safe.
He replied, sarcastically:
No, 500 pounds to the yard would

TO my horror / discovered that one
of the rails over which the large
ninety-ton locomotive had just thun-
dered, was connected, end to end with
the next rail, by only one bolt.
My friend assured me that no ac.

[ then realized that my five and
one-half years experience in repair
ing locomotives, and as machinist
had been of no value to me. That
this book-learned gentleman was
right. That the road-bed was in first
class condition; that no matter how
rotten the ties, no matter how light
the rails, no matter how poorly-join-
'ed Or how sunken the road bed, the
Georgia Railroad was safe and sound
because Bryan Cumming, who reads

ing to corporation rule, said so. 1

in frst-class condition. But some

trembling, feeling sad for the hearts
that will be broken, for the lives
that shall be snufed out of many a
cottage to return no more forever.
Some day that one bolt will break.
Sometime the strain from the 400

its load Of humanity, at the rate Of
fifty miles an hour, will snap off that
one bolt, and them! G. NJ

TO MAKE LEMON JELLY.
Large Quantity Can Be Prepared In
Very Short Time.

Lemon jelly is the foundation for
many dainty summer desserts. Here
is a good recipe for a large quantity.
One box of any of the patent gelatines
soaked for an hour or more in pint
of cold water. Turn this into enam-
eled stew pan; pour over it three pints
of boiling water. Add two cups Of
sugar, one stick of cinnamon, the
Juice of four lemons and little
grated rind. Allow this to stand on
the stove until the gelatin is thorough
ly dissolved Strain into mold and
set away to harden. If placed on ice
as soon as cool this jelly will form
in few hours, but it is safer to al
low five or six, and it is really better
the next day. To make fresh-fruit
jelly from the remains of 4 lemon

cover the bottom of a fancy mold with
strawberries, pour over this some Of
the melted jelly and allow it to form,
then add a layer of bananas sliced and
more jelly, finally a layer of sliced
oranges with the last of the jelly Dur

THERE Is A REASON.
The Medical Times Explains Why
Doctors Oppose Patent Medicines.

The Medical Times for April in a
moment of frankness explains the
whole opposition of physicians to "pat-
ent" medicines which are taken with
out a prescription, in the following
words:
1--WE will hardly repeat here the
specific statement to the effect that
in one year $62,O00,O00 has been ex-
pended on patent medicines in the
United States. Enough to give every
practitioner in the country a yearly
income of $4,000. In the face Of such
facts as these, all talk Of love of hui
manity, altruiSm, self-abnegatiOn and
the like becomes cheap and nauseat.
ing. 1t appears to us that such bun.
combe should give place to homely
common sense"
Reliable authority states that the
gross amount Of the patent medi-
cine business is about $40,000,000 in
stead of s62,OOO,000 but taking the
Medical Times figures as correct they
represent an outlay Of considerably
less than 81 per capita for home medi-
cation. The cost of doctors fees ex-
elusive of medicines except such as
are dispensed for the same period,
probably was approximately $230,0O0,-
600. This is reached by allowing an
average income of $4,000 to each Of
the 10000 physicians in the United
States. Even allowing that a gross
business of s62,O00.000 is to be divid-
ed between $4,000 physicians the in
come of each would not be increased
moro than $540.

"Soap Bubble Hanging from a Reed"

Our life is but a soap bubble hang
ing from reed; it is formed, expands
to its full size, clothes itself with the
loveliest colors of the prism, and even
escapes at moments from the law of

appears in it and the globe of emerald
and gold vanishes into space, leaving
behind it nothing but simple drop
of turbid water. All the poets have
made this comparison, it is SO strik-

to disappear; to be born, to suffer and
to die; is it not the whole sum Of
