HAS RESTING PLACE AT LAST.
Remarkable vicissitudes Undergone
by Stained Glass Window.

The east window at st. Ma. garet's,
Westminster, England, wandered
about for more than 200 years before
reaching its present position, and was
the subject of seven years lawsuit
Hc-'-y VII. for whom it was intended,
died before the window arrived from
Dordrecht and it came into the pos.
session first of the abbot of Waltham
and then of General Monk. Stained
glass was anathema in Puritan days,
SO the window was buried until the
Restoration, when it was brought to
light. Refus~i hys Wadham college It
was bought for fifty guineas and erect
ed in private house and years later
was bought for 400 guineas by the
committee charged with the restora-
tion of st. Margaret's, and placed in
position in the church. The lawsuit to
which we have referred was brought
by the registrar to the dean and
chapter on the ground that the win
dow contained superstitious images,
but after seven years wrangling the
church wardens proved victorious and
the beautiful window was suffered to
remain undisturbed

The Power of Habit,

The power Of habit was strikfngly
illustrated not long ago in Phiradel-
phia shirt waist factory. One woman
who had done nothing but sew up the
seams Of sleeves for four years was
taken on that particular job and. was
asked to run up seams in the body
OF the waists. She complained that
the change made her 80 nervous that
she could not work. .... ..
"But what is the difference ?" asked
the foreman. There is nothing but a
straight seam here, just the same as
you have been used to-" :, v,

true feminine logic, but 1t isn't

And 1t did indeed prove to be a fact
that owing to her four years OF steady
work on sleeves It took her fully that
many weeks to overcome her nervous
ness sufficiently to run the machine at
her accustomed speed when sewing
another part Of the waist.

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and

CONTROLS EXPENSES

Friends of the Erie road profess to
see signs that the severest strain on
its income from earnings has been
reached and successfully passed, and
that better things are to be looked for.
This hope is inspired by the fact that
operating expenses appear to have
been placed under control, and hence
forth will be kept within reasonable
distance of gross earnings.
Thus far these expenses have been
out of all reasonable proportion to
gross, for the reason, it is said, that
the Erie always has had a large pro-
portion of cheap freight in it's total
tonnage. AS the expense of hauling
this is almost as great as transporting
frst-class freight, the ratio Of oper-
ating expenses necessarily has been
high.
Much of the Erie's tonnage consists
of coal, coke and iron products. In
its last fiscal year considerably more
than one-half of its total tonnage was
composed of this low-class freight. It's
total tonnage for the year was 3d.
1851, Of which S,628,O49 tons was
anthracite coal, 7,338,7OO tons btu
minous, 2,291,282 tons coke, 2,532,445
tons iron and other ores and 1,319,540
tons stone, sand, ETC., making 22,110,-
016 tons on which the lowest rates
only could be collected.
In it's last fiscal year the Erie, after
meeting all operating expenses, taxes,
fixed charges, etc, reported a balance
availa BILE for dividends of $5,9O3,65S
At the close of February this year it's
net earnings showed a decrease Of
$3,S64,S15. For February the decrease
in net was more than 100000.
Should the loss in the remaining four
months be anything like as great, the
road will close its year with a deficit
rather than a surplus.
