Many of these locomotives and cars

discussion they should be valued, and
so we had better fix their total cost
at. say, $76,000.OO0 instead of $4,000
600, book value given.
There are 1901 miles of single
II ack owned, and with sufficient accu-
racy for our purposes we can put the
first cost OF equipment with rolling
stock at $4,000 per mile, very lib
railways, which serve denser popu-
ls ton than exists in any other portion
cf the United States, and which, being
a manufacturing community, must
use it's railway largely.
We have omitted occasional extra
ordinary expenditures. say, for the
tunnels and long bridges over rivers
and also for rock cuts and deep exca
vations.
We are perfectly safe, however, in
allowing an average Of $4,000 per mile
of track, or $15,202,000 to cover the
cash cost of these extras.

Massachusetts has been selected be-
cause it's railroad commissioners have
largely reduced the usual amount of
corporate dishonesty by their most
careful examinations and enforced
publicity of corporate accounts.
Its dense population requires a
larg equipment than the average of
the rest of the United States. Its
costs of construction are increased,
by reason Of it's rocky soil and hilly
t. Biography, far above the average Of
many other sections. 2
/ have increased the stated book
value of equipment from $33,000,00O
% $76,000,000; Il have added $15,000,-
00c to well-known standard average
costs of construction; have allowed
S1I, 400, 900 for architectural work, and
as a result have obtained an average
cash cost per mile of $25,200, which I
have no doubt substantially exceeds
the true cost of railways.
In education, frugality, industry,
and honesty, Massachusetts, popula-
ton stands in the first rank of these
United States and yet we have the
following capitalization Of the Mas
sachusetts railways:
Funded debt. :. ..$133, ,435,355
Mortgages, etc.. -. -. 25,O07,31S
Capital stock -. ..r.... 1894 ,466
Total capitalization -. 1894, ,2T7, ,139
Dividing this by 1901 miles Of sim
gle track we obtain about $4,000 cap
italization per mile-51l IL per cent.
Of water, probably more.

There are things which 1t were well
If we could all make light of them.
There, are those petty, carping words
of criticism which are continually fly
ing through the air, which, like a
swapping. snarling cur: at our heels,
are a source of much annoyance. Why
should we permit olrcsun to be dark
'ened by the unwarrantable criticisms
of those who lack the elements of the
true gentleman or gentlewoman
Think, SIR said Samuel Johnson
to a worrying friend, chow infinitely
little that will ssem a twelve month
hence" And the Christian may we'll
extend the vision farther, Think, sir,
how infinitely little our light affliction
which is but for a moment will ap-
pear in the light Of the eternal weight
of glory"
There is light -heartedness which
is perfectly consistent with true Chris
tian thinking and living. In the words
Of another,."I do not wish you to be
dull. i want your sky to be as bright
as heayen.. But as you have a, life to
live: and as you have death to die,
do not make light of the great things
Of the soul. Do not make light of
duty. Do not make light of purity.
Do not make light Of sin. Do not make
light Of now. Above all, in all, through
all, do not make light Of Christ. For
to be Christs is manhood, power. vic
tory. And to make light of Christ is

Eighty Degrees Of Frost.

1t Is difficult for us to form any con-
.xeption Of the degree Of cold repre-
sented by the eighty degrees Of frost
recorded from certain parts Of Russia
says the Dundee Advertiser. Sir Leo
pold McClintock tells how in one OF
his. Arctic expeditions a sailor was
foolish enough to do some outdoor
work at precisely this temperature
His hands froze. and when he rushed
into the cabin and plunged them into
a basin ~ water. so cold was the hand
that the water was instantly convert
ed into a block Of ice. At twenty-f1v
degrees, DIR. Kane says, "the moustache
and under lip form pendulous beads
of dangling ice. Put out your tongue
and 1t instantly freezes to this icy
crusting. Your chin has a trick OF
freezing to your upper jaw by the
luting aid Of your beard. My eyes
have often been so glued as to show
that even wink was unsafe"

Hard Rap for Church Corporation.

Corporation. as New. York's worst
citizen and the "wealthiest and most
mysterious monopoly in the world"
"The- value of its real estate alone
In New York is estimated" he said,
"at anywhere from $4,000, 900 to; $780,
100000 and. it's revenues in rents ia
second only to that, of the Astors.
To-day there is no more :mysterious
order in the world, for no one but the
rector, the. vestry, the wardens and
the controller know where the money
goes. and for nearly 100 years no Of

the whole mystery. The 1000 COM
municants of Trinity parish have no
more voice in the management of it's
affairs than they have in st. Patrick's
cathedral. 1t is the closest corpora
tion in the world ,.,.--
THE Trinity Year Book for 1907
$9l,412.03, indicating an assessed
value of s1s,ooGooo; hut Trinity's fa-
vorite lease provides that the tenants
shall pay all taxes and assessments
and make all repairs. Behind this
useful clause much wealth is hiding.
THE Trinity, Year Book for 1907
states that the annual income of the
corporation for the past year was
about s775,ooo. not including collec-
tions and contributions in the church
es. amounting to sso,2s6ss. What
becomes of this $s55ooO? The total
expense of the parish, including the

100000.
What becomes of the net balance ?
Nobody knows. We know that the
rector gets $25,000 per annum, a free
house and perquisites, which make
his income about $4,000 a year to
preach only occasionally the gospel
of Him who when OH earth had no
place to lay His head.
"A large part Of the vast estate of
Trinity are the worst tenements in
New York, located in the Eighth
ward. While thettenement houses in
all sections of the city have improved
Trinitys have grown worse. The
rookeries are ovsrcrowded and only
such repairs are made as are needed
to keep them from falling down.

will tell you that Trinity is the worst

The Great Clock of Munich.

An American tourist in recent let
ter gives a description Of the great
clock which has just been completed
for the Rathaus Of Munich. The
clock says the writer, "is only one
Of the features, and not one OF the
most wonderful. There is monster
chime. and moving. figures represent a
combat between mounted knights, a
national dance, an ancient night
watchman, an angel Of peace, a clown
and a. cock After the hour has been
sounded the chimes play a. national
song; then two figures which stand
near the dial strike the hour again
with heavy sledges. Then a second
song is intoned on the bells and the
tournament begins. While this is in
progress a third melody Is played and
the group Of figures representing peas
ants go through the motions Of the
Schaffer dance. The. clown makes gro
tesque movements and the cock crows
In the night hours the watchman ap-
pears after the hour has been sounded
A lighted lantern is In his hand, and
as he disappears around an angle of
the tower his bug1e sounds a well
known call. and with It's last note the
