diminish the number of people whom
they wound or kill every year.
But when gangs of Wall street rascals
clutch such railroads, and swindle the
public and the stockholders by the is
suance Of hundreds of millions of dol
lars of watered stock, the roads have to
be operated with a view to paying dlvl-
dends upon this dishonest capitalization.
Hence it is that roadbed and bridges are
neglected, employees overwOrked, safety
appliances unprovided and wrecks multi
Piled.
In the eyes of God, the men who do
such deeds are robbers and murderers
They know that the natural consequences
the loss of human life They know that
railroad, burdened with huge 6eti-
tious capitalization, cannot possibly keep
itself in first class condition and, at the
same time, earn dividends upon the frau
dulent stock.
Hartman has bought the Georgia Cen
trail for 100000, yet the Morgan-Ryar-
Calhoun gang watered the securities up
to $5I, 100000. The Central could af-
ways have paid good dividends upon it's
honest capitalization of about $1,000, ooo-~
but how can it pay dividends upon $751;,
100000? 1t cannot do it-but in the eff
fort to do it the property is run on the
cheapest scale, necessary Improvements
not made, and employees and patrons
squeezed to the limit
A 6gure-head president is paid $4,000
per year; pompous lawyer $I5,ooo-and
the Central hasn't decently comforta-
bic station between Macon and Savannah,
Railroad tactics are the same through
out the Union. The Wall street mag
mates own many judges, editors, newspa-
pers and politicians, and they are tireless
in their efforts to deceive as we'll as
plumber the people, but gradually the
masses are coming to understand the
facts.

brace of redheaded or canvasback duck

A PERSON oBsEssED.
The Victim Of an lnsistent and Com
pulsive Habit Of Action.

The Victim Of an lnsistent and Com
puIsive Habit Of Action.
The word "obsession" may be defined
as an insistent and compulsive thought,
habit Of mind or tendency to action.
The person so burdened is said to be
Obsessed.
Few children are quite free from OBJ
session. Some must step on stones;
others must walk or avoid cracks;
some must ascend the stairs with the
right foot first; many must kick posts
or touch objects certain number OF
times. Some must count the windows,
pictures and figures on the wall paper;
some must bite the nails or pull the
eye winkers.
Consider the nail bitter. 1t cannot be
said that he tolls not, but to what end? +?
Merely to crafty an obsession He
nibbles little here and little there;
he frowns, elevates his elbow and in
verts his finger to reach an otherwise
inaccessible corner. Does he enjoy it?
No. not exactly. but he would be mis-
erable If he discontinued
It is during childhood that we form
most of the automatic habits which
are to save time and thought in later
life, and it is not surprising that some
foolish habits creep in. AS a rule,
children drop these tendencies at need,
just as they drop the rules assumed
in play, though they are sometimes so
a hivNep 70 s,,na
An interesting instance was that of
the boy who had to touch every one
wearing anything red. On one occa-
sion his whole family lost their train
because of the prevalence of his color
among those waiting in the station.
The longer these tendencies are re-
tained in adult life the greater the dan
ger Of their becoming coercive And
so far rs the well established case in
concerned, the obsessive act must be
performed, though the business, social
and political world should come to u
standstill.
A child who must kick posts is father
to the man who cannot eat an egg
which has been boiled either more or
less than four minutes, who cannot
work without absolute silence, who
cannot sleep If steam pipes crackle
and who must straighten out all tam
giles Of his life, past. present and fE-
ture, before he can close his eyes in
slumbcr or take vacation.

tive and pugnacious, was father to the
man who made war upon neighbors'
poultry and had room, proof against
sound, specially constructed for his
literary labors. Lippincott's Maga.

Petrarch.

Petrarch was at this time young
man of engaging appearance. comely
II not strikingly handsome, with q
high color and a complexion rather fair
than dark. His eyes were animated
In expression and remarkably keen Of
sight-in the Laurentian library por-
trait they are rather small. but very
clear and beautiful-he was of middle
height, and his limbo. though not very
strong. were well knit and agile. In
early and middle life his health was
robust, and he was extremely tenn
perate in his habits, drinking nothing
but water throughout his childhood
and down to the close Of the period
of youth" From the Laurentian por-
trait we see further that he had an
intellectual face. with rather low
but very massive forehead, large,
straight nose, delicately arched eye
brows, high and we'll modelled cheek
bones and beautiful mouth. with lips
that shut at once firmly and smilingly.
