The Worlds Railways.

A year and half ago, according
to a German statistician, the railway
mileage of the world was 563,771
miles, or. 3,036 miles more than in
the preceding year. Of the worlds
mileage the United States had 215,-
713 miles and Europe 1s2,247 miles.
The worlds capital in railways is es-
timated at over SAB, 1000, and
the average cost per mile, with equip
ment, ETC., is $76,S50. In the United
States the average cost per mile was
$6S,03S; in England, s305,000 per
mile. If the reflective person con-
siders what facilities for transporta-
ton the various countries have in
their rivers and canals, the cost OF
their railways will appear to mark
the extent of the deficiency of water

LITTLE MOTHER. ;.

Genie and Genette were two dear
little girls who lived in Florida.
When their mother died their doctor
father thought he would be obliged
to give up their home and go North

in their old home, and let nurse

here than go among strangers" they
declared.

SOME ANIMALS IN WINTER.

The ptarmigan, a member of the
grouse family, is in summer mottled
with black and a rich fluffy brown,
but in winter it becomes pure white.
The snowy owl, and the snow-bunt-
ings that come to us from the far
North, have whitish plumage that
blends harmoniously with the pre-
vailing whiteness of the landscape.
But perhaps the most interesting ex-
ample of all is the weasel, whose fur
in the summer has a peculiarly soft
shade of reddish-brown, but in the
winter is pure white, except at the
tip of the tail. 1t is probable that
this black point is useful to it's owner
in diverting the attention of car
nivorous bird or of beast of prey
as the black spot is more readily seen
than the white body of the animal. 1t
is said, too, that if the tip is covered
with snow the whole weasel becomes
clearly visible, and that if the first
snowfall is later than usual it is
claimed by some naturalists that the
color change is delayed accordingly.
The turning white takes place when
most needed-From Mature and

SHADOWED.

A charming old Englishwoman has
recently related, with reminiscent
glee, how she once sat next Mr.. Glad
gravely while he discussed on the
safety of our times in contract with
the past. He remarked especially
that it is now possible for public men
to go anywher unguarded, with no
danger of attack from the many ene-
mics they must inevitably make.
His hearer was a friend of the
hostess, and was aware that, while
he talked, the inpassive liveried foot
man behind his chair and another
Immediately opposite on the other
side of the table were detectives
from Scotland Yard, sent especially
for his protection. Yet another
guard, in evening dress, was waiting
upstairs, ready to mingle with the
guests when they should leave tho
table.
The Grand Old Man" did not pre-
serve this happy Inconsistencies of
the police surveillance to which he
was long subjected, especially in the
streets.
Being entirely fearless, despite the
threats of lunatics, anarchists and
unbalanced political opponents which
made protection only reasonable, he
resented it with vigor, and tried per-
sistently to elude his guardians. He
lodged, he disappeared, he took short
cuts and unexpected routes, he gave
them as much trouble as il he had
been a cracksman instead of states
man; but he could not escape his
shadows"
Once, at his club, he persuaded a
fellow member of about his general
build to take his coat and hat and
walk out, carrying an umbreila sufIi-
cinetly aslant to conceal his face. in
the hope of drawing the waiting
shadow" outside on his trail long
enough to afford the real quarry a
chance to slip out unobserved.
1t was clever trick, but useless.
The watching shadow saw the coat,
the hat and the umbrella emerge,
and knew them to be unmistakably
Gladstonian; but the Gladstonian
gait, an equally unmistakable point
of identification, was conspicuously
absent

And so they remained in their own

days without their dear mamma, but
at such times Genie would put her

WITH A working" ELEPHANT.
These draft elephants will pass
through country, heavily laden,
such as could not be traVersed even
by mules or donkeys. Now and
then, however, they come to grief.
On one occasion near Mogok, the city
of ruby mines, I saw a caravan of
laden elephants traVersing a jungle
path through bamboo and coarse
grass fourteen feet high. The track
in some cases was embarked, but
heavy rains had undermined the soil;
and just as the biggest elephant was
passing, the high embankment gave
way under his weight, and with
scream OF terror the huge animal fell
sideways, rolled over no less than five
times, and at last, to the immense re-
lief of his mahout, stopped short on
the brink of deep ravine. Of course
it was thought the elephant was
killed. He was none the worse for
his serious fall, however, but his load
had been wrecked. The broad girth
had broken, and tents, cooking uten-
sils, medicines, and fifteen or twenty
live ducks were scattered over the
hillside-From w. G. Fitzgerald's
