PROSPECTIVE RAILWAY COH-
x STRUCTI0N.
Railway building has been on the
decline in this country since 1887,
which was the maximum year, the
new mileage reaching 7,000 miles.
It dropped to 5.000 in 1889, and then
to 4,000, 2,000 and last year to 1,
803, the lowest on record in twenty
years. As we seem to have struck
the bottom it is predicted that there
will he a revival in railway building
and that the next two years will see
unusual activity that will be wit
nessed more or less all over the
country.
The Chicago Railway Age, which
keeps a pretty close eye on the rail
way movement in this country,
thinks the prospects are good and
prints the following list of States
and Territories where there will be
" an addition to the mileage already
constructed, with the number of
x lines ind the mileage on which work
is either in progress or. is promised.

This is the summary of the work,
not all, absolutely determined upon,
but for which' there is a fair pros
pect within the coming two years.
There is but one State which does
not show up in this list, and that is
Rhode Island, which is probably
pretty well supplied with railroads
now. The Indian and Oklahoma
Territories which have been recently
thrown open to civilization and set
tlement lead with something over
1,600 miles between them, followed
by Texas with something over 800,
and several other Southern States
with figures somewhat less. By
adding up the figures for the South
ern States and Territories it will be
seen that nearly one-half the prom
ised mileage for the whole country
is South of the Ohio river, where
one would naturally expect to
find it. .
Of course enterprises of this kind
depend upon conditions and circum
stances, which ' may turn out to be
-favorable or the reverse. One of
the reasons given for the prospective
increase in railroad mileage is the
demand for it, With the improving
prospects of securing European
money to put put into them or for
borrowing money abroad, there being
more disposition shown now by for
eign capitalists to Invest money in
American enterprises than there has
been for some time. It is said that
there is a great deal of idle money in
Europe now which cannot find takers
even at a very low rate of interest,
and that such money would be
eagerly placed in American enter
prises which commend themselves as
safe ventures.
Y
There may be something agree
able in the prospect of securing
large sums of money abroad for
such purposes, but It is after all a
very expensive way of building our
railroads, for it is giving the foreign
money lender a grip on our roads
which if unable to meet their ma
turing obligations would be in the
the power of these bondholders.
This money when due must be paid
back, the interest must be paid, and
both in gold. The interest accumu
lations prove a severe tax upon the
roads and a drain upon the county,
for while the roads do business and
derive their incomes in our money
they must provide gold to meet their
foreign obligations. This is one of
the main reasons why about one half
the railroads in this country have
gone into the" hands of receivers
within the past few years,"and why
some of them have passed into the
hands of the bondholders at figures
that tear no comparison with their
estimated value.
Why should American railways go
abroad to borrow money when there
arc millions of idle caDital in the
money centers of the Bast? . Can't
they get any of this money, or is it
hoarded there for the purpose of
running interest rates up, or waiting
for more issues of Government
bonds? Money may be borrowed
more-cheaply in Europe, but it is
dear money in the end,. for the rea
sons we have given above, but if it
can be it is not saying much for the
monetary system of this country
which forces our railroad builders to
go abroad to borrow money when
there are millions lying locked up in
this country. This may prove a very
serious obstacle to the building of
the roads indicated in the above list,
but if we had a monetary system in
dependent ' of European countries,
and coin our money metals as we
should coin them, there would not
only be a large amount of money at
the money centers, but there would
be a large amount of it in circula
tion and it would be a comparatively
easy matter for our railroad builders
to get all they needed. The free
coinage of silver by us would ensure
the building of two miles of railroad
to the one that will be built for some
years to come. i

KIIT0R KEBTTI0H.
For the South there is more in the
silver question than the free coinage
of silver itself. We are even more
interested in it than the silver pro
ducing States of the West, for with
them it is only a question of money
and the prosperity or lack of pros
perity consequent upon the abun
dance or scarcity of money; but
with us, while this is involved, there
is more, for good government in the
South is dependent upon the kind of
a platform that is adopted at Chi
cago. On a free silver platform we
can hold the Southeiu States in the
Democratic column, on a gold plat
form it is exceedingly doubtful to
say the least. A gold platform will
keep away from us thousands of
voters who have recently voted
againt us but would come , to us on
that issue. Discussing this question
the Washingtob Star quotes a Texas
Democratic Congressman as follows:
' It's a very serious question with as,
and I doubt if there is a Southern Dem
ocrat on this floor who has not pondered
over it. While the silver question is the
foremost with us nationally, there hangs
over us the shadow of losing our States
and all that goes with them. My own
State is certain to go to the Populist
column if there is a gold standard nomi
nation at Chicago. There is not much
chance of the Republicans winning. Our
Eastern brethren do not seem to realize
the dangerous position we are in, and it
looks like they don't care. They are
willing to sacrifice ns to get what they
want. They are willing to drive from
the party many of the States which have
never failed to elect Democratic electoral
tickets. Ics all well enough to maintain
a 'stiff upper lip' and to talk as if there
will be a bad break if the silver men
don't win at Chicago.
"Would anything be accomplished by
the silver men leaving the convention
at Chicago, if thev were in a minority,
and patting op a ticket of their qwc?
"I do not think it would be much
better than if there was a gold standard
nomination. There are hundreds of
thousands of Democrats who believe in
sticking to the parity, and the majority
in the National Convention is supposed
to be the party. These men, many of
them for silver, would refuse to believe
that the minority constituted the party,
and would not vote for the ticket out
out. Our only hope is that the silver
men will have a clear and fair majority
at Chicago, and that they will have
backbone enough to resist all overtures
at compronvse and put out a straight
silver ticket. If this is done, we will
hold on to our States locally,' and na
tionally there will be a fighting chance
of winning in November."
How can we with such a platform
as the Eastern Democrats would
force upon us go before our people
and assert that the Democratic party
is friendly to silver when we bad to
do it under a gold flag and on a
platform that declared for gold.
Our opponents would throw back at
us our bimetallic platform of 1892,
and strike us "dumb, for we could
neither wriggle out of it nor satisfac
torily explain the change of position
in four years.

The gold ; advocates got in their
work in the Illinois Republican Con
vention at Springfield, Thursday, and
the McKinley boomers got in their
work too, for they laid brother Cul
lom out as cold as a wedge and se

They adopted a gold standard plat
farm, but they didn't catch on to the

Democratic idea and demand the re

themselves for the present; with: sit

think may answer the purpose of
making a change, bnt is no good for

they and the man for whom they
have expressed a preference for the
Presidency are not. in accord, tor he
Is on record as a double standard
man. Here is an extract from a
sneech delivered bv him in the
House of Representatives June 24,
1890 : . '
"I am for the largest use of silver in
the currency of the country. I would
not dishonor it: I would crive It equal
credit . and honor with gold. I would
make no discrimination. I would utilize
both metali at monev and "discredit
neither, want the double standard."
Mr.' McKinley may have changed,
as secretary - tjarusie, oewciai y
Smith and some other Democratic
statesmen nave, but if he has he has
never given any indication of it, but
on the contrary said some time ago,
when interrogated on that question,
that he "stood upon his record."
This is a part and a very important
part of his record. He is for the
double standard; the Republicans of
Illinois who endorse him as their
candidate for the Presidency are tor
the single gold standard. This shows
conclusively that the Republicans of
Illinois are not particular as to the
money views ot - their candidate,
while professing to be very deter
mined to have "sound money," and
that Mr. McKinley is not very par
ticular as to what kind of a plat
form he stands on provided he gets
there. They are both playing what
they consider" politics.
The Ohio man is constantly bob
bine Op, and so does v the Ohio
rooster sometimes. One recently
appeared in court as a witness, and
his testimony decided the case. A
chicken thief was arrested with a
coop of chickens. His lawyer, on
the trial, contended that he bought
the chickens and that they could not
be identified. Thereupon the owner,
who was in court, asked permission
to take the rooster out of the coop.
He took : him out, called him by
name, and straightway that rooster
crowed a crow such as was never
heard in that mill of justice before.
Then the owner held out his hand
and ' invited the rooster to shake.
The rooster shook, and that settled
it. The coop ot chickens went
home with the owner, and the pur
lolner went to jail. We print this as
a hint to our poultry raisers who
find trouble in keeping their chickens
at home. Train them to respond to
their names and to shake.

If the Bermuda makes' a safe
voyage to Cuba and delivers her
cargo of arms and ammunition to the
insurgents, the Spanish authorities
may as well confess that their block
ade of the coast is only a paper one,
and that they are unable to prevent
filibustering expeditions, from oper
ating as they please. The Bermuda
should be well known to the com
manders of the Spanish vessels by
this time. .Her movements are fully
reported and at least three vessels
are on the watch for her. If they
fail to catch her this time they may
as well give it up. Phil. Ledger, Jnd.
The Tribune takes. liberties
with history in saying that in 1892
business men regarded Harrison as
well as Cleveland "unquestionably
safe on the money question, and
therefore did not take their usual in
terest in the election. Business men
and others interested in sound
money remembered that Harrison
signed the disastrous Silver Purchase
act, which Senator Sherman in his
history says was passed because it
was not deemed safe to allow a free
coinage bill to go to him. Facts are
important as well as stubborn things.

STORY OF A' RAZOR.
Um Barber Took: Pride la the Steel Be
cause of Its History.
'A good razor? Well, I should say so!"
said a barber to a reporter. "That'a a his
toric blade I'm using on your face. There's
story in that piece of steel which-is as
Interesting as it is remarkable, and I val
ue it more than anything I have. You see,
during the war I was at Winchester Va.,
apprenticed to a blacksmith. I was only a
young bit of a follow, but had the .highest
regard for excellence in anything. As a
bey I used to play around the door or the
old shop, watching-the smithy shoe the
horses. There was one tool whloh always
had the greatest attraction for ns young
sters and filled ns with wonder. We had
been taught that the best quality of steel
would always pick up pieces of Iron and
steal by magnetism. There was a particu
lar file whloh the old smith prized very
highly, whloh to ns boys seemed to be the
very best piece of steel in the world. The
manner In which it would pick up the
horseshoe - nails and bits of steel left no
doubt in our minds on this point. During
the war my boss had a great deal of shoe
ing to do for the army, and several times
General Phil Sheridan had his horse shod
there. The old smith was a great ad
mirer of the general, so he brought out the
muon prized me mj uiiuui up uw nuu.
"Some years later I left the blacksmith
shop to become a barber, and shortly after
learning my trade I decided to go to Wash
ington. Just before going I stole this file,
determining to have the beet piece of steel
in the world for my ideas never ohanged
on the subject to start in my business. I
had the file made into a razor, and wheth

some yean after who should I find in my
ohair bat General Sheridan. I was some
what rattled, as the boys say, at having so
great a man so near me, especially a man
whom I had always honored so much, but
by degrees my nervousness left me, and I
began to shave him. Suddenly I remem
bered about the razor I held in my hand.
It was the same steel that had shaped his
horse's hoofs many years before down in

EARLY FIRE IMPLEMENTS.
Appliance Used In This Country Im the
Seventeenth Century.
Undoubtedly the Srst nre company or
ganized in this country was formed in
New York in . 1658. It was called the
Prowlers and was oomposed of eight men
with 250 buckets, hooks and small lad
ders. Where the buckets were obtained and
whether or not they were in addition to
those owned by the town the records fail
to state. In 1079 Salem purchased two or
three dozen cedar buckets, besides hooks
and other implements; also the selectmen
and two others were authorized to take
command at fires and to blow up and pull
down buildings when such action was
necessary. This practice appears to have
been much more common before the use of
engines than afterward. Boston, on Sept.
9, 1079, ordered that every quarter of the
town should be provided with 00 s wooes,
two sooopes and six axes. The swobes, or
swabs, as they are now called, were long
handled mops that could be used to put
out roof fires. The general use of swabs
has long since disappeared, but when a
slight blaze is beyond the reach of a pail
of water and more improved apparatus is
not at band a long handled mop is today
the most efficient article to be used. In
Japan these swabs may be seen on many
toof tops.
In 1690 New York ordered that five lad
ders and also hooks be made. In Philadel
phia no mention is made of public precau
tion against fire until 1690, when ' a law
was passed forbidding the firing of chim
neys or allowing the same to become foul.
Each house was to have a swab, bucket or
paiL Another act was passed in 1700, or
dering every household to have two leather
buckets. In the following year six or eight
hooks for the purpose of tearing down
houses were ordered to be made. John G.
Morse in Popular Science Monthly.

Although something is known about
the speed of birds and animals, there are

"On foot one has scarcely any means of
Judging of its speed, for in a moment' it is
past yon and out of sight, bnt what is the
experience when you are driving say at
the rate of eight or ten miles an hour?
"The rapid voyager shoots by you al
most out of sight, then turns, swerving
widely from right to left, and passes you
again in both directions, traversing re
peatedly the ground over which you are
traveling but once.
"We are apt to exaggerate in these mat
ters, but with every allowance, having
compared the flight of the dragon fly with
that of a passing hawk, swallow and
cuckoo, I have computed that it is capable

Arsenic
Arsenic has been known from very early
times as a deadly poison. It is belioved to
have been the means employed by Nero to
remove his enemies, and there is little
doubt that it was also known to and em
ployed by Messalina and Agrippina. Dur
ing the middle ages it wus extensively
used as a secret poison, being sold by al
chemists and poisoners of Italy under the
name of "widow's powders" or "succes
sion powdors." Its properties were defi
nitely ascertained and made public by
Brandt in 1733.
The plant from which assafetida is pro
duced is a native of Persia, Afghanistan
and northern India. In all these countries
the inhabitants use it as a seasoning for
their meat and vegetables, much as red
pepper Is employed by the natives of Mex
ico and South American states. The odor
is not deemed by them in the 'least offen
sive. ,
Aconite.
Aconite is the active principle of the
plant known as Aconitum napellus,
which grows in the mountainous districts
of Europe, Siberia and central Asia. It is
well known from appearing as an orna
mental plant in flower gardens. Aconite
as a medicine was first used by Storck, in
1763, being employed then, as now, in in
finitesimal doses.

;. Jumping- on Skt -
'There is nothing a Norwegian cannot
do on Ski?! says Mrs. -Tweedie, with par
donable exaggeration, after witnessing the
annuaL jumping contest at Chrlstlanla.
The hillside on which the contest tooK
place was "almost perpendicular, and
rah down to the edge of a lake, on the icy
'surface of which were gathered: many
thousands of spectators. - -
Halfway np the hill was a small,- low
platform, built out in the snow, and bo
steep was the descent that the edge of the
platform gave an opportunity for a leap of
80 or 90 feet.
There were 105 competitors, eaoh wear
ing a large number on his breast. y. '
At the word JNo. l rusnea rrom tne
plateau on the hilltop down the hill it
self. The pace was tremendous, un ne
came till he readied the platform. Then
with a huge spring his legs doubled up
and his arms whirling like a windmill to
keep his balance he jumped.
It was a fine effort, but he oould not re
gain his feet and went rolling over and
over down the hillside in the snow. "That
he did not kill himself during his series of
somersaults, with nine feet of : wood
' strapped to each foot, seemed to be mirac
ulous." But he came out of his snow bath
none the worse. : !:
He was hardly out of the way when No.
8 appeared upon the platform. He was
luckier or more skillful, and after his
jump recovered himself and sped away
down to the lake. ; . "
So, in rapid succession,' the racers foj-i
lowed each other. Fully half of them
landed on their feet, and no one was hurt,'
though a fow. ski were broken. The man
who mado the longest jump 88 feet did
not regain his footing, and the prizes the
king's cup and the ladies purse went tc
another man.
"We "looked on and marveled," con
eludes Mrs. Twcodio. - .
Strange Relationship In Marriage.
It is rarely that a daughter becomes hei
mother's mother-in-law, yet this curious
coincidence does occasionally happen.
A friend of mine, a colonel in the army,;
had been a widower for. some years and
resided with his sons and daughters in
r-iymouiu. iii
ii. . - - . ii
At a bull given by the officers of bis
regiment he met a beautiful young girl,
with whom he fell desperately in love, and,
to make a long story short, they wore soon
married.
At the year's end there was an addition
to tho family. Of course the mother came
to be with her daughter on this interest
ing occasion, and being a handsome, well
preserved woman, the colonel's eldest son
becamo much attached to her and before
long led her to the hymeneal altar. Thus
the daughter became mother-in-law to her
own mother.
Another strange relationship is that of
a lady wno is motner-in-iaw 10 ner two
sisters in a somewhat similar fashion to
the . above, they having married her step
sons. I myself am-cousin to my own sis
ter, sho having espoused my husband's
first cousin, and am second cousin to my
nephews her sons. London Tit-Bits.
A. Preference For Stagnant Water.
The Arabs in the deserts have contract
ed a strange prejudice against running
Water, and will only drink what they find
in some stagnant pool.
So much has this become a matter of
habit with thorn that, while the most pol
sonous looking water agrees with them
admirably, pure running water will make
them violently sick in the course of a few
hours. This prejudice is shared by most
of the lower animals, and is often acquired
by European travelers in Africa.
At first the stagnant water produces
nausea and oven fever, but when once the
system is inured to lfy running water af
fects them in precisely the same way that
affects the Arabs. London Tit-Bits.
