Geni Manager A GREAT YEAR FOR RAILROADS A record breaking output of looomo tives and cars, few receiverships and great strides in railroad building in 190" are tlireo subjects to which at tention is directed by the Railroad Gazette in a series of editorials show ing the greatest optimism concerning conditions. Briefly tlic editorials show that in 1907 only 819 miles of railroad went into the hands of re ceivers. During the ytar ue*v mile age was added to the extent of 5,220; miles, which is eight per cent, less than was built in 1906. Locomotives to the number of 302 were built, aud the manufacturers turned out freight cars aud 5,407 passenger coach- , es. In this estimate no account is tak- | eu of cars built in railroad shops. ' These figures show an increase of nine j teen per cent, over 1900 in car build ing while the tiucreasejn locomotive is six per cent. The increase in pass ' enger cars is seventy-two ner cent. The cost of the locomotives and cars i was enormous. The locomotives cost j $117,792,000; the passenger coaches, J $40,380,000 aud the freight cars, #312,- I 007,000. The receiverships for the 849 j miles of railroad, nine companies in all, involved $0,895,460 in capital stock »nd $2,487,000 in bonded indebtedness. REST TIADR EASY.

In the face nf a threatened shortage iof timber, the amount of wood con ; s m«'d each year for pulp l as incrras led since 1899 from two million to three and one-half million cords. The ; year 1906 marked an increase of 1)8,000 cords in the imports of pnlpwood, t highest average value per cord for all kinds, and n consumption greater by 469,053 cords than tiiat of any previous year. Spruce, the wood from which in 1899 three-fourths of the pulp was manufactured, is still the leading wood,but it now pr.unices n little lets than 70 per cut. nf the total. How well spruce is suited to the nianuf te ture of pulp is shown by the fact thar during a p'ri d i ich the totsi quantity of wood used has double 1 and many new woods have been intro duced, the proportion of spruce pulp wood has remained nearly constant in | spite of the drains upon the spruce forests for other purposes During this time three different- woods, wide ly separated legions, have in turn ; held the rani; of leader in the lumber | supply. ; Since 1899, the poplar, which for years was used in connection with spruce to the exclusion of all other paper woods, lias increased in total quantity less than 100.000 cords, and .is now out 1 linked by hemlock. Pine j balsam, and cottonwood are used in much smaller amounts. New York alone consumes each rear over a million and a quarter cords of wood 111 the manufacture of pulp, or more thau twice as lunch as Maine, j which ranks next.

Too Enthusiastic. Edwin Forrest once produced a piny called "Metamora." Supers were en gaged to personate Indian warriors, aud among them was a bright Irish lad j who had a deep admiration for the : great tragedian. At a point in the ! play where Metamora asks, "Am I j not the great chief of the Pottawato lnlesV" the supers are supposed tn grunt "Ugh, ugh!" The stage man j ager had carefully drilled them in what they were expected to do, but on the night of the performance the ; young Irishman was so transported by Forrest's acting as quite to forget that he was Impersonating an Indian. When Forrest turned to the assembled war riors and thundered forth, "Am I not the great chief of the Pottawatomies?" the Irish boy's enthusiasm broke through all restraint. He leaped Into the air with a wild shout and, twirling his tomahawk about his head, replied. "lSegorra, ye are!" London Standard Water on Gibraltar.

The inclination for marriagis 1a better expressed by .the number of per -8 ins ni uriel in proportion to the uumber of persons of either sex uu married, but of marriageable age. j The uumber of unmarried males of marriageable age in Pennsylvania in 1900 was approximately 987 <!!«); there fore, 63 males in evetv 1000 unmarried contracted marriage,or,in other words one in every id. During the saute year there were 739.815 unmarried female of marriageable age, of which nu jiber 80 iu every 1000, or oue in every 12.5 contracted marriage. This excess of unmariied males of marriageable age is considered very largely due to the preponderance of foreign-born males of that age iu Pennsylvania. There is a deficiency oi foreign-bom females of marriageable age iu the State. Yet this is found to be some what overcome by the marriage of na tive females to foreigu-borti males, 1289 such marriages having occurred in the year 1906 iu which the nativity was recorded. The average of brides iu Pennsyl vania in 1906 was 24 5 and of groouis 26.4. The number of first marriages was: Brides, 55,767, and grooms, 54 - 970. The greatest number of marri ages contracted in any single man Mi was, of courso, iu June and the least number iu March.

OUR LARGEST SCALES. The Monster Weighing Machine In the Washington Navy Yard. The biggest scales iu the country nre iu the navy yard at Washington. '1 hey outweigh the largest railway scales by fifty tons. The latter are not to be sneezed at. for they easily weigh as much as a heavily loaded car. The navy yard scales are so ac ; curate that they come within a pound of the exact weight. Hallway scales are considered good if they come with in fifty pounds. All the large ord nance manufactured for the navy is weighed upon this machine, which is some ten years old. The scales look like ordinary hay scales. The delicate mechanism is invisible, the most intricate parts being in a broad pit below the ground. The plat form is forty-eight feet long and twelve feet wide. Beneath the power ful machinery is a cement base laid upon long piles, A solid base being one of the prime requisites of a pow erful weighing machine, it was found i necessary to use a pile driver to se cure a stable foundation. The machine is regarded as the fin est of its kind in the world and is a splendid achievement of American in genuity. In order to show the ac curacy of the scales an official picked up half a brick and tossed it upon the platform. He then consulted a long brass lever aud found that the brick weighed just one pound. The capacity of the scales is 100 tons. Two twelve-inch guns lying on a forty-eight foot car truck can be weighed on the machine without tax ing its capacity.—Washington Star. Short Names. An English clergyman, I>r. Frederick' Leo, had a prejudice against a long string of christian names and held that if such names were proposed the cler gyman should alter them at baptism whether the parents were willing or not. It was said of him that he chris tened all the boys Frederick after him- j self and all the girls Mary after the Virgin. The author of"The Life of ! Walter Pater" gives Ilr. Lee's method ; of christening us follows: "Name this child," he wonld say iu j his authoritative voice. "Archibald Cholntondeley Constan- i tine Ferdinand," perhaps the mothet j would whisper "Frederick," she would hear, to her j amazement, and then would follow the j formula of baptism. Iu the vestry of course there would I be objection. "This child," Dr. Lee would reply, "will have to get his living in the | world, and what do you want to handi cap him with Archibald Campbell Cholmondeley and all the rest of them for? Anyhow, it's done now and can't be altered." Over Work \Vcnkcn«* Your Kidney*.
