Largest Depot In Europe.

Which is the largest railway sta
ton in Europe?" is a question which
every newspaper has answered num-
berless times for inquisitive readers.
From now till further notice the reply
must be: That at Leipzig. Travellers
who know the Fatherland have al
ways classed the "Leipziger Bahnhof"
as the most dingy and ugly in the
country.
For ten years artists and architects
put their heads together to make it
the acme of beauty and convenience,
and now for ten years the builder
has been busy. 1t has a frontage
of $50 yards; rs lines of rail run into
it; it will see 400 trains day; there
are so clocks to tell the time. The
finishing touches will take till 1915,
and by that time nearly $95,O00000
will have been spent on it.-London

All cattle are divided into or fall
into certain classes according to the
work they do to best advantage. In
other words, the disposition they make
of the feed they consume over and
above the amount needed for main
tenance determines this class.
When we take into consideration
that cattle are only machines for con-
verting hay, fodder and grains into
some product for human food, and
they are the only machines or fac
tories known that will convert those
materials into beef, milk, butter and
cheese, We get a much clearer concep-
ton Of the real meaning of beef cat
tie, milk cattle or butter cattle
By beef cattle We mean those types
of cattle which will use their surplus
feed to best advantage in the manu-
factrue of beef. OF this type we have

Alfred de Mussets love for irrespon-

such an extraordinary elevation that
he wrote many brilliant poems in con-

PERIL On RAILROAD TRACKS
Foolish Custom Responsible for the
Great Bulk Of Casualties Ro
ported Yearly.

In an eastern Kentucky town a few
days ago five persons. returning from
church. were walking on a railroad
track. They saw a train coming and
stepped OF of one track onto another
only to be struck by an engine com
ing from the other direction. which
they had not seen at all. One of the
party was killed and all the others
were injured.
Walking on railroads is extra haz-
ardous now that so many of the roads
are operated by the double track sys-
TEN. 1t is practice that is largely
prevalent in all parts of the country
and it is responsible for the great
bulk of railway casualties which are
recounted in the quarterly reports of
the interstate commerce commission.
The number of Failraod passengers kill
ed nowadays is comparatively few.
Some Of the biggest roads in the Unit
ed States are able to carry hundreds of
! thousands of passengers in the course
of years business without fatalities.
The increase OF safety appliances has
greatly reduced the lists of accidents
among railway employees, but the num-
Der of persons who are killed while
walking the tracks continues to in
crease from year to year.
The right of way of railroad
which owns the road and is not pub
lie thoroughfare in the sense that
applies t. street, a turnpike or a
neighborhood road. Persons who
walk on railroad right of way are
trespassers and incur a needless risk
Those who trespass on the lands OF
an individual subject themselves to
prosecution, but there is decidedly
less hazard in such trespasses than in
walking on railway tracks. 1t is some
what remarkable that a practice sc
fraught with danger should be sc
generally persisted in both in city and
in country. In cities and in villages
other thoroughfares are not lacking
and the foolish and perilous custom
should be andoned.-Louisville

Worlds Debt to Books.

How safely we lay bare the poverty
of human ignorance to books without
feeling any shame. They are masters
who instruct us without rod or ferule,
without angry words, without clothes
or money. If we come to them they
are not asleep; If you ask and inquire
of them they do not withdraw them
selves; they do not chide you If you
make mistakes; they do not laugh at
you if you are ignorant-Richard De

By Way Of COMPARISON.

While $4,000 men, women and chill
dren mill workers at Lawrence, Mass.
were out of work because of a strike
to prevent cut in their Sc. 81 and So
week wages, Mrs. Evelyn Walsh Nc
Lean, mother Of the baby that is heir
to 500, 900, 900. gave $4,000 dinner
to so guests at Washington, the
ration's capital.
The hostess at this banquet wore
diamonds that actually cost more than
half million dollars. In her hair was
displayed the famous Hope" diamond,
which cost $50, 900, and at her throat
another celebrated gem, "Stnr of the
East" which is even larger than the
Hope damon. The cost per plate at
the Mclean dinner was $500. One item
in the expense was for 1900 yellow
lilies imported from abroad at 81
each.
One of the highest paid mill workers
at Lawrence would have to work "a
years to earn the cost of that banquet.
The earnings of dozen mill workers
for century would not purchase the
gems worn by Mrs. Mclean. A Law
renee worker would have to labor
twenty years to pay for the yellow
lilies alone.
The strike of the men. women and
children ct Lawrence, and the $70O a
plate dinner at WASHINGTON, is q strjk-
ing example CT conditions existing
