clals liave been petitioned to have eggs
sold Jier.enfter by weight Itistead of

foreign countries, particularly America.
The secret cf the scheme lies in the
fact that s'Jprman hens lay eggs whose
weight is greater tlinn those of foreign
fowls, weigliing on the nverage 3S.o8 to

Consul AViirncr also reports from
Leipzig a TTiove on the part of tlio city
political authorities which Is unique.
lie says:
"The Leipzig City Conncll has passed
nn ordinance compelling those em
ployed In the various departments of
the city government to take up their
residence within the city limits. As
the water work, lighting plants, stor.
age warehouses, markets, pawn shops
hospitals, ere. In ndditiou to the depart
ments under cfly control lu the United
States are municipal Institutions,
large number of people will be affected
by this ordinance. It is mid that this
action was taken in order to foster
Leipzig's growth, to Increase the city's
Income and to concentrate the con
eervativo vote."
Tile departure of the n?w 10,003-ton
steamship, United States, from Copen
hagen for New York, did not escape
the lynx-eyed consul at the forme
port, who Immediately called the at
tentlon of the State Department to the
.ct that the vessel, with her sister
ships, IlelUg Olav and Oscar II., ha
more than twice the net tonnage capac
ity of any other steamer lu the trade
between the two ports named. The
United States Steamship Company, of
Copenhagen, for which these vessels
were bum. now own in an j steam
vessels, of l."li,4S3 gross tonnage, it Is
but n matter of time, the consul 'adds
when the steamship service from the
United States will be extended directly
to the far eastern Raltlc ports, to keep
up wilh the march lu trade of Ameri
can exporters.
From Gaudeloupe, Consul L. II,
Aynip, whose services during the disas.
ters of the Mont Tclee volcano were
go highly praised, announces that wire,
less telegraphy has now been estab
lished for the uso of the public between
Gaudeloupe and Martinique. The tariff
charges are practically the same a
those of the French Cable Company,
whose lines have been broken duo to
the volcanic uctlvity for some sixteen
months. The service Is satisfactory,
nn average of sixty messages being
sent dally.
Malaga, according to Consul P. R,
Birch, has caught the automobile fever
of the American type. Tho strange
part of the story Is, however, that
there Is thus far but one automobile
now In Mulagu, aud that of the French
racing make. One of the Influential
meu of the city, the consul goes on to
say, has asked him to procure cata
logues of the leading American ma
chines, while another has placed an
order for a Detrolt-niade machine,
"Promptness In delivery," says Mr,
Birch, lu conclusion, "is an essential
point that should not be overlooked by
American manufacturers In sendin
machines to Spain."
Consul Birch nlso reports from Mai
H ga that the crop of Jordan almonds In
Spain for the next season promises to
be normal for the first time since 1MH),
This melius, approximately, that 100,.
0U0 twenty-flve-pound boxes will be

Turning to Bohemia child labor Is
found to be one of the leading ques
tiona. according to C. S. McFarland
consul at Reichenberg. Unsatisfactory
condition In the cut-glass Industry has
brought on a strike of some 1000 skilled
laborers, and ,t was In this way that
tho facts concerning skilled labor were
brought out. Children begin to receive
Instruction at a very early age, aud
from about sis years serve an appren
ticeship. All work Is done by piece
aud no fixed wages are paid. An em
ployer claims that the average wago
amounts to seventy-six cents a day for
male and fifty-five cents for female
skilled labor for the fire days In tho
week upon which work is doue. The
strikers allege that the average dally
wage Is only forty-eight and demand
aevcnty-slx cents. "',

report on the street nnd electric
alhvays of the United States showing
by statistical computations the Inerense
lu the use of electricity ns n motive
power nnd the gradunl abandonment
of nil other forms of energy, together
with the consolidation of street railway
companies and the extension of track-
igo, has Just been issued by the Census
Bureau.
Tlie report shows that there are in
existence in the United Slates 817
operating street nnd electric railway
companies nnd 170 companies leased
ts and operated by other companies,
making u total of US" companies con
trolling 2'J.57li.l! miles of single track.
Tlie pur value of the capital stock nnd
funded debt outstanding amounted to
2,308.2S2.0!i. The average net capital
liabilities per tulle of single track were
SJIS.2S7.
The total Income and expenses or tno
operating companies, amounted to J2r,-
.jiM,027 nnd 21!i.007,OjO, respectively.
The companies gave employment dur
ing the year to 133,011 wage earners
aud paid $80,770,449 in wages. There
were 7128 salaried officials nnd clerks
employed, to whom ?7,439,il0 was
paid. Tlie roads curried 5,&il,Uui,S.J0
passengers.
The single track mileage Increased
from S123.02 miles In ISlio to 22.37iJ.IK)
miles lu l'.Ki2, or 177.nl per cent., and
the number of fare passengers carried
from 2,023.010,202 to 4,S00,534,438, or
137.74 per cent.
The Increase in the length of track Is
routined entirely to the roads operated
br electric power. The use of electric
power was reported by 120 companies
in '1800 aud 747 in 1002. Tlie single
track mileage operated by this power
increased from 1202 miles in 1S00 to
21,020 iu 1002.
A decided decrease Is shown in the
number of companies and the track
age for each of the other classes of
power. Of the total single track mile
age. 1.014 miles, or ninciy-seven per
cent., were operated by electric power
aud 41ir miles, or 1.0 per cent., by other
mechanical traction, while only 2.0
lnlks, or 1.1 per cent., were operated
by animal power, as compared with
07.7 per cent. In IS',10.
The average length of line per operat
ing company in lww) was 7.41 miles, as
compared with 20.38 miles in 1002; the
average operating company In the lat
ter year controlling almost three times
the length of line that was controlled
by the average company In ISlio.
In ISO:) there wore only eight com
panies operating more than fifty miles
of line, nnd In 1002 the number of such
companies had Increased to sixty-nine.
The total reported cost of construc
tion Increased ?l,77.S.27(i.7S8, or 450.7
per cent., as compared with an increase
of $1,830,040,142, or 382.7 per cent. In
the combined par value of the capital
stock and funded debt. The increase
in both capital stock and funded debt
Is due largely to consolidation of inde
pendent roads and the operation of
roads under the least system where
the stock of the constituent nnd under
lying company Is not retired.
The increase In earnings from opera
tion wan ?lo0.030.7f8 of 173.2 per cent.;
the Increase in operating expenditures
was $80,301,412. or 120.5 per cent.
The Increase lu th? -number of pas
senger cars amounted to 27.7S3, or
83.5 per ceut. In connection with the
Increase iu the number of cars, the
Increase In size Is Important. This Is
indicated by the increase in the num
ber of passengers carried per car. Tlie
number In 1800 was 02,237 nnd 1!H2,
70.774, nn Increase of 17,537. The
number of employes, exclusive of sal
aried officials and clerks. Increased
02.877 or 88.9 per cent.
The report shows that In New York
there are in operation niuety-six com
panies with gross earnings from opera
tion in 1002 of $50,313,00(1; operating
expenses. $33,007,724; per cent, of earn

sources, $1,500,174; taxes and fixed
charges, $10,552,0.13; net Income of
companies reporting deficits, $740,015;
net Income for State. $7,651,101; divi
dends, $3,133,508, aud surplus, $4,517,

The longevity of Quakers was dis
cussed by a group of riilladelphluns
the other day, says the Philadelphia
Record. A physician of Quaker de
scent said: "It Is undoubtedly true
that Friends are among the longest
lived persons In the world. Statistics,
laboriously and accurately collected,
prove this cleurly. The statistics were
compiled hero in Philadelphia lu 1800.
Thfv showed the duration of the aver
age Friend's life to be fifty-eight years.
There were living at that time in this
city thirty Friends who were over
eighty-eight years old, and there were
fifty other Frlcuds whose years aggre
gated 5238. These persons, thnt is to
say, were, on the average, eighty-five
years old. Marked longevity among
our people proves how wholesome aud
beneticlii! our rules of living are. The
abstemiousness, the early hours, the
avoidance of worldly excitement
these were the things that multiplied
so remarkably our forefathers' years."
The Great atone Faee.
One of the most remarkable pieces of
nature sculpture iu Callfornlu is the
George Washington Rock, about thirty-five
miles northwest of Los Angeles
In tlio Santa Susaua Mountains, says
the .Sunset Magazine. Near this rock a
two-mller, tunnel Is being bored through
the Santa Susans Mountains Just out
side Chntsworth Park. A chiseled
mcuumeut could hardly bear truer like
ness to George Washington than this
chance picture lu the ragged contour
of a huge bowlder. Viewed from one
point and only one. It stunds out sharp
and distinct against the sky. From all
other point the rock is a shapeless
mass. The image measures full twenty,
five feet from chin to brow and Is close
to the top of the hill. In the vicinity
have been found Indian relics, ovens,
stones containing Indian writings, ar
row beads, mortars and many traces of
a settlement of aborigines.

Rich In Friends.
Bret Harte died at the nge of sixty
two years, and left an estate valued at
just eighteen hundred dollars. His rich
social success somewhat offset this ab
surdly small remnant of the profits of
authorship.
In his adopted home in England men
of rank in life and letters were proud
to know Mr. Harte, nnd, attracted by
his personality no less than by his ge
nius, rallied about him in a way which
is well illustrated by a story which T.
Edgar Pcmberton has incorporated in
his recent biography of Harte.
On one occasion the English actor,
Toole, went to lunch with Bret Harte
for the first time. After a greeting his
host said,
"Let nic introduce you to the Duke of
St. Albans."
"Oh, yes," Tonic said, with a smile,
and shook hands with the gentleman
who was assuming the character, as he
thought.
Presently the actor was introduced to
Sir George Trcvclyan. and had scarcely
shaken hands with him when Hart?
said,
"I would like to introduce you to
Count Bismarck."
"Oh, yes, said Tonic again, turning to
the newcomer. "How many more of ymt
are there? Where is Von Moltkc, for
instance?"
Bret Harte laughed ; so did Trcvcl
yan. A comedian is allowed certain priv
ileges, and Toole's remark was consid
ered as mere pleasantry.
"But," said he afterward. "I had no
idea what a fool I was making of my
self." At table Mr. Toole said to the man
who sat next to him.
"Who is the gentleman Harte intro
duced me to as St. Albans?"
"The Duke of St. Albans," was the
reply.
And the man opposite?"
"Herbert Bismarck, the prince's son."
"No! Really?"
"Oh, yes."
"And the man talking to him?"
"Sir George Trcvclyan."
"I was never more sold in my life!"
Toole confessed afterward, when telling
the story.
Tradition Rectified.
King Arthur had established the
Round Table.
"Just to have the knights take pot
luck with me," he explained glibly.
Later, however, Guinevere was dis
turbed by finding some red, white and
blue chips in the royal pocket.
William Tell had just shot the apple
from his son's head.
"It was green." he explained ner
vously, "and I had to do something quick

I wish we Americans would adopt the
Spanish style of giving. There arc oc
:asions when a host, warmed to the
rockles of his heart by the congeniality
jnd personal magnetism of a guest, will
jive to him whatever he particularly ad
mires among the household gods. In
Spanish-speaking, Spanish-conquered,
Spanish-lost countries this giving is un
Icrstood to be a sort of compliment with
a string tied to it. The guest "Ah !
What a lovely porcelain ! I have never
seen its equal. Sonic rare work of the
Middle Ages." "Do you like it?" says
:hc pleased host. "It is yours."- They
shake hands, slap each other on the
shoulder and renew old friendship. But
the host knows that the present will
never leave his house a :nd the guest
understands that the gift is not his ex
cept in the meaning.

He stood in the shadow of St. Paul's
Chapel and gazed angrily at the St. Paul
building opposite. "I'm a Ruskinite," he
taid between clenched teeth. I can't

wall ! Isn't it a crime. They arc nearly
crushed to death. See how they bend
and struggle I Note the awful agonv'l
Look at their faces worse far than the
automobile faces wc read about. I have
nightmares every time I see them. Each
of the three must be carrying on his back
a weight of 200,000 pounds. When I
think of such torture I feci that we are
lavages. Is there no hope? None so
long as we submit to such monstrosities
in architecture."

The only rational way to cure dvsprpsia
is to remove the ratnrrn. I'cruna cures ca
tarrh, l'eruna does not produce nrtilirial
digestion. It elites catarrh and Iravi-s the
stomach to perform digestion in a natural
way. This is vastly better and safer than
retorting to artificial methods.
I'cruna lias cured more cases of dvspep
sia than all other remedies combined, sim
ply becati'C it cures catarrh wliercter lo
cated. If catarrh is located in the head,
Peruna cures it. If catarrh lias fastened
itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Pe
runa cures it. When catarrh becomes set
tled in the stomach, l'eriiiiu cures it, as
well in this location as in any other.
I'cruna is not simply a remedy for dys
pepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. I'c
runa cures dyspepsia because it is gener
ally dependent ti pon catarrh.
