Another refutation of the oft re
peated assertion that under present
j operating conditions the railroads
are unable to make fair earnings is
supplied by the monthly report
made by the Heading company,
'l itis not only shows a handsome in
crease in net earnings lor July over
the corresponding month of 1 !)<)<; but
shows also that the net have kept
pace with the gro»s earnings. The
railway company, the Coal and Iron
Company and the Reading company
show net earnings #l. .Si 1,100.55
against #1 iu July
j and a surplus for the month
<>o."i.against 5177,1:11.ti1. What,
| if any effect this will have on Y-om
i mutation rates, which were raised
because the cost of operation had so
vastly increased that net earnings
were sure to shrink, lias not been
learned.

I IHS set up his appliances in two of
fices in Pittsburg and hundreds of
! people daily Hock to these buildings
|to talk to friends at the other in
! strument, without the least conneet
, ion except the air. As a result of

j HUMOR OF LONDON CABBIES.
Some of Their Remarks WKtn the Tip
Is Not Forthcoming.
Some of the hansom fraternity of
London have no sense of humor, but
j the majority are decidedly facetious,
says Tit-Hits. Here are some
examples of witty and sarcastic "cab
i byisms."
To appreciate them properly It must
1 be understood that the fare has offered
' a single shilling in payment for a ride
| Just within the two mile limit.
I "Are you quite sure you can spare
j this?" remarks the cabby with a bump
of humor. "D'ye think you'll be able
j to rub along on the other nineteen till
j next Friday? It's golu' the pace,
I y'know."
I "If you'll take my tip. guv'nor," runs
! another form of gentle reproach, "you'll
, go and see an oculist. You 'ailed this
| bus by mistake. You wants a red or
green or yellow bus. Black ain't in
your line at all."
"Thank yer, gov'nor," says another
cabby, with apparent emotion; "thank
yer, kiuilly. Yer offer Is well tneuut.
but I couldn't go for to do it." Saying
which he makes a pretense of handing
the shilling back to the astonished
fare. "But I can't sell him, guv'uor,
and that's a fact. Yer 'andsome hof
fer'd make me rich for life, but I tell
yer I can't sell Mm."
One cabby, who was tin excellent ac
tor, on receiving his shilling burst into
tears and between his loud Bobs Jerked
out: "I'm sorry you force It on me,
guv'uor, 1 am really. The hlncmne tnx
people'll he down on me now."
Ati excellent "cabbylsni" was perpe
trated In the suburbs one night. As
j the fare let himself into the house he
i was regaled somewhat as follows:
"Go in quietly, sir, In case the old wo
man wakes up and 'ears uie drivin'
away. She might stop the rest of yer
pocket money for this extravagance."
A Bit of Superstition.
Superstition Is by no means dead,
even In ultra civilized England, says
Londou Answers. One Sunday, a few
months ago, an Interesting proof of
; this fact was seeu In the parish church
of Sutcomtie, In uorth Devon. A
woman who suffered from epilepsy sat
In the porch as the congregation came
out from morning service, and thirty
married men, who at her request had
attended church, passed her one -by
one. As they passed each dropped a
penny In her lap. The thirtieth took
the pennies and gave the woman a
half crown, which was to be made into
a ring for her to wear. Vain supersti
tion. you exclaim. Yet another
woman, also a martyr to epileptic tits,
who went through the same ceremony
| at the same place nineteen year* ago
I has never since suffered.
MOSLEM ETIQUETTE. ' ,
Always Be In Good Humor and Talk;
Pleasant Things.
Ilere are some Interesting Mussul- 1
niau injunctions of conviviality, says
the Loudon Lancet. The honor of be
ing served first belongs to the invited |
guest who la In the possession of any I
high title or who has in any way oi!
sphere distinguished himself. If the!
host himself Is the oldest in the com
pany or has any high decoration ol
merit, be must first begin the meal
without delay in order not to let the
others unduly wait. It shows bad up
bringing to be in a melancholy mood at
table or to speak of disagreeable things
or to engage in inappropriate discus
sions on matters bf religious piety.
Foremost of all. one must always be in
good humor and talk of pleasant things,
as did the prophet himself.
You must always help yourself from
the side of the dish nearest to you and
uever try to And out the best bits,
which ought to be left for other guests.
If one of the invited has not much ap
petite, you must ask him up to three
times with some kind chosen words to
partake of the meals. A louger Insist
ence would cause ennui and would be
most inappropriate. You must never
stop eating before others, because in
doing so you will embarrass them and
cause them to finish quickly in imitat
ing you.
Never eat gluttonously, but also nev
er attempt to conceal your good appe
tite. Always eat little by little. Exag
gerated compliments are always mis
placed. The host's duty Is to make his
guests feel as comfortable as possible,
encouraging the timid and shy. It Is
contrary to good taste to address and
to fix the attention of a guest when he>
Is eating. Even If the host Is not ac
customed to eat much be must always
try not to finish before others. Should
any dish be forbidden to him by his
medical attendant he certainly must
not partake of it, but must at the same
time excuse himself before his guests.
It is absolutely necessary to avoid ev
ery movement or gesture which is apt
to create disgust.
A GOOD LAWN.
The Best Way to Prepare the Ground
and Sow the Beed.
A good lawn may be made either by
laying sod or growing seed. If*turf
Is used, the lawn is sometimes ready j
for use In less time than when seed Is
used, but practically the difference is
very slight. Fewer lawns are made
from turf every year. The turf or soli
Is nearly always obtained from a near
by field. It abounds in coarse grasses
and liernicious weeds. The former
may be got rid of after considerable
trouble, but the latter rarely ever. Sod
laid lawns are nearly always uneven,
seamy and varied in color and texture.
Their cost, too, Is much In excess of
seeding the lawn down.
A lawn produced from a mixture of
good, new, recleaned seeds of the finer
grasses and clovers is superior In qual
ity and texture to the best sod obtain
able. To obtain the best results from
sowing, the ground should be carefully
dug over—not too deep, six to eight
inches will be enough—and nicely lev
eled off; then sow on broadcast a good
fertilizer, 000 pounds to the acre, or
about ten pounds to every 15 by 15
square feet Ituke this In and roll it
or flatten it with the back of a spade;
then sow seventy pounds of some good
lawn seed to the acre, or one pound
to every 15 by 15 feet. Sow half this
quantity walking < ne way and halt
walking at right angles to it, so as to
get even distribution. Do not sow In
windy weather, and be sure to rake
the seed In, and after sowing roll it
well or beat it flat with the spade.
Those seeds that are deeply buried
will not germinate, and those that are
exposed will be scorched by the sun,
blown or washed away or taken by
the birds. Whenever necessary to sow
in summer it is better to mix with rye
or oats to protect the tender shoots
from the hot sun.—Suburban Life.
The "Coney" of the Bible.
There is a queer little rock animal
found in thousands in all parts of Cape
Colony, South Africa, and called by the
I>utch "daasje*' (pronounced in Eng
lish "dassie"). This little creature ha*
many other names, such as the coney,
daman, rock badger and rock rabbit.
It is found also in Syria and is really
the "coney" of the Bible, for one of the
psaluis contains this verse, "The high
hills are a refuge for the wild goats!
aud the rocks for the conies," while in
the book of Proverbs we read. "The co
nles are but a feeble folk, yet make
they their houses in the rocks." The
South African daasje is a pretty gray,
furry creature, merry and sun loving,
and when taken young makes a charm
ing pet.—Amy Sutherland in St. Nich
olas.
The Drawback.
Mile. Victorine confides to the Jani
tor's wife that her mistress, who is old
and feeble, has promised to remember
her in her will If she takes good care
of her till she dies. The Janitor's wife
shrugs her shoulders.
"The worst of that Is, my dear, that
the better you tuke care of her thej
longer you'll have to wait for your;
legacy."—Paris Journal.
