trust notes would be able to stop the transfer of that system of railroads to the Baltimore & Ohio, unless they are given better standing. They do not see just why they should be called on to sacrifice 40 per cent of the par value of their notes in order to give J. P. Nor gan & Co., an opportunity to unload their white elephant on another railroad and get out at least whole in the transaction. The note holders insist that if there is any sacrificing to be done in the deal, Morgan & Co. should stand their share of it. The banking house paid 16O for $S, GOO GOO of c. H. & D. several years ago and they would like very much to get the same figure for 1t in the sale to Balt- more & Ohio. Indeed. that is the price named in the contract.
 The rail orders which are being sent in by New York Central and other of the large systems call for rails of high CT quality than the standard heretofore prevailing. The high class rails which are to be made this year and probably for many years to come. will cost any where from $1.5O to 800 per ton more than those which have been called stand ard heretofore. Thus, while there has probably been no cut under the BPS per ton quotation, a very much better arti- cle is being given by the makers for the money

those engaging in the practice. There are very few independent manufacturers who can survive a prolonged fight with the Steel Corporation. Some of them are very strong, it is true, and have abund- ant financial backing, but there is hardly a point along the line of production at which they are not at distinct disad- vantage to the Steel Corporation. The Steel Corporation, by reason of its own ership of raw materials, railroads and steamships and also by reason of its su- perb selling organization and unlimited working capital, can beat competition both in production and distribution. But for the strong belief that the war wifi soon end in a general trade understand ing, 1t would be impossible to hold the price of the stocks of the minor iron and steel companies anywhere near their present level.
 At the same time it is recognized that haste in reaching settlement might have a bad effect in Washington where- as, if the fight could be kept up in ap- pearanoe. at least, Congress might be frightened into greater leniency than is now programmed In the matter of duties on iron and steel and collateral indus tries The game as 1t now appears to be framed up has both business and political features With the danger held up to the view of Congress, that hundreds of thousands of working men are liable to have their wages cut as combined re- suit of a free for all trade battle and tariff slashing, favors might be wrung from the legislative body at the national capitol, which could not otherwise be ob- tained.
 A lot of stock was accumulated by the rich men on the slump but since the downward run of the market was check ed this powerful and influential element has not been much in evidence. It has seemed willing to let the public have the market again. The big interests can be depended upon, however. to come to the support of prices, should liquidation be resumed again upon large or dangerous scale. Pending congressional action on the tariff there is slight disposition on the part of the rich men to load up unnec- essarily. If there is going to be sweat" they had just as leave the public would do the sweating. The public is used to that role, however. It has often been called upon to act as burden-carrier for Wall street.

GREAT FLIGHT OF ARsHIP
Count Zeppelin Travels $50 Miles
In 81 Hours.
Trial Successful But For Contact
With a Tree-Crew of Owner
and Nine Persons Carried.

Goeppingen, Germany.-The Yep.
pelin airship, on its way back to
Friedrichshafen from Bitterfeld, came
down in an open field near here. The
landing was intended only for oil and
a manoeuvre, but the envelope of
the pointed bow of the vessel came
into contact with the branch of a tree
and was torn. After an examination
of the damage it was decided to send
to Friedrichshafen for workmen to
repair the damage before proceeding.
Count Zeppelin explained that he
did not continue on to Berlin from
Bitterfeld because the airship had
lost some gas, and he thought it
wiser to start on the return trip to
Friedrichshafen, particularly as the
homeward journey would require
from fifteen to twenty hours.
The aeronaut is thoroughly salts
fed with this journey, which is the
The airship covered some $50 miles,
including its manoeuvring, within
thirty-seven hours.
The tearing of the envelope of the
forward compartment carries no par
ticular lesson, except that greater
care must be taken>in steering.
The airship left the floating shed
on Lake Constance a little after 8
o'clock at night. The objective was
Berlin, where Emperor William
awaited the arrival of the count. But
the airship got only as far as Bitter
field, some 400 miles from the start
ing place, and there decided to re-
turn. There were on board Count
Zeppelin himself. two engineers and
a crew of sever men.

Workmen's Homes in Hungary.

In Budapest the Hungarian Gov
eminent has built 400 houses for
workmen on real estate obtained
from the city at a very low price.
These houses contain 1872 flats; sew
enty-nine have each two rooms and
kitchen, and the others have one
room and kitchen. The rent of these
flats is between $1,000 and $500 a
year. The buildings were construct
ed at a cost of $203, 000.
The imperial Austrian Government
is devoting special attention to the
housing question, and in connection
with the Department of Public Works
has established a special Office for
housing welfare" not only intended
for the masses, but also for State Of
f1cials. Lately in the interest of its
public servants 1t appropriated $780,
900 for the building of homes and a
similar amount for houses for work
men employed in mines. The Gov
erment seeks to encourage house
building by aiding building socie-
ties. Such an organization, partly
under State control, has been estab-
lished in Reichenberg, which within
a period of fifteen years has built up
an entire section of this city.-Consu-

Smallest French Conscript.

There are, as everybody knows
who has seen a French line regiment,
some extremely small soldiers in the
French army. Beyond doubt, how
ever, the most diminutive conscript
who ever drew an unlucky number
from the urn is Julien Touchard, a
young man born at Manves, in the
department Of Orne, on July 10,
1888. This conscript, who is in his
twenty-frst year, has only attained a
height of three feet two inches, and
weighs exactly forty pounds. On
April 1, when. along with his fellow
~conscripts, he appears before the
council of revision for his district,
Julien will appear clad in the short
stockings and belted overalls of an
infant, of which he presents the ply
steal aspect. Though the military au-
thorities are to enroll every available
man, it is hardly like that julien Tou-
chard will be required to shoulder a
rife. The youngest of a family of
five children, Julien developed nor
mally until he was vaecinated, at the
age of seven, after which his growth
entirely ceased. - Correspondence OF

Nest Boxes.

Inc nest is a very important mat
ter. If the hen is permitted to have
her way she will seek a secluded To-
cation, and in summe she prefers
cool place. During the winter per-
iod her desire is for a warm nest,
where the warmth impaired the eggs
will not be dissipated too rapidly.
What we desire to allude to particu-
larly is the nest box after warm
weather begins. The nest box is the
source from which lice often come,
because the heat from the hens body
makes the conditions very favorable
for the propagation of lice. The nests
are not cleaned as often as they
should be. At least once a.week the
nest box should be taken outside, the
material removed and burned, and
new material placed in the boxes. II
any signs of lice appear, sponge the
boxes lightly with kerosene and apply
a lighted match thereto. A fame
will run over the box, but will not
burn it to any extent. After placing
the new material in the box, dust the
whole with fresh insect powder and
place the nest in a cool and secluded
location in the poultry house.
