Railroad Statistics That Startle.
Prom the National Magazine,

The most marvellous array of statistics
presented for some time past was that
offered by the bureau OF railway news and
statistics. These figures are so stupendous
that ono can scarcely comprehend their
real meaning as they stand in orderly
rows, divided into groups of three by
portly commas. Figures are mounting up
so rapidly nowadays that the statisticians
have to keep on hand an ample supply of
ciphers.
In 10 years nearly 1000 900 900 were car
ried by the railroads of the United States,
and in a single year. 1903, 100000. 900 tons
of freight were transported over the shin
ing rails from one part of the country
to another.
The weight of Individual locomotives
has increased 116 per cent, and the num-
Der Is per cent there being now al
most $1,000 putting over the United States.
The increase in the capacity of freight
cars has been approximately 12o per cent.
making their present carrying capacity
more than II ,0O0 900 tons

OF railroad employees are the most i'm
pressive; nearly 100000 people, an in

pay rolls of United States railroads draw

THE VIRTUES DISPUTE.
Which Had the Best of II, Prudence
or Charity?

Bertha Louise Soule in the ST. Nicholas.
Two yirtues-Prudence and Charity
got into little dispute one cold winters
day.
Prudence was standing before a large
plate-glass store window, looking In at
the wonderful Christmas display, dolls,
toys of all kinds, ornaments, nne apparel
everything to delight the eye OF child
or grown-up. But. for all that, disap-
prevail was stamped upon her face. As
she stood thus gazing, Charity came out
Of the store, arms laden with bundles.

she, too, stopped to look at the window.

Ths words were all for Mr.. Generosity,
but the tone reminded Prudence of other
conversations in the past, when she and
Charity had disagreed about giving money
