The improvements that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have had under way at Pittsburg for the past 15 months have beefy completed with the excep- tion of a small amount -of paving be- tween’ the tracks which will be done in the Spring. The line now has splendid terminals at that point and sufficient trackage to handle the vast amount of business with not only economy but with celerity. The changes cost in the neighborhood of $450,000 and consist of a new yard at Glenwood (one of Pitts- burg’s suburbs), a double track. trestle | nearly two miles in length, the chang- ing of the line of road leading into the passenger station and the building of new freight yards near that point. ‘More Weddings in the Country. “It is a very noticeable fact,” said Maj.

In some instances the country boy marries a city girl, but not very often. The city boy seldom, if ever, marries a country girl. Of course, the city boy does not.like to marry where there is a disparity of minds, for, as Dickens says, ‘those people can never live happy.” What do 1 think is the cause of it? Why, I think the voun- try boy is more economical with the money he earns than the boy of the city. He can do better on $25 a month $50. Then again, when the country boy marries he goes on a tract of land given him by his father or bought with hard- earned money. =dJeZerson City Cou- rier. Se RR Deticate Hint.

Open your atlas at the map of Asia and look for the city with the long name of Vladivostok, on the eastern coast, north of Japan. A few years ago i was only a little, barren, strag- gling town of a few thousand inhabit- ants, fishermen who lived in the deepest poverty. Now itis a rapidly growing city of more than 20,000 inhabitants and it will ‘soon become one of the great ports and naval stations of the world. Last week the cornerstone of the new Russian public works was laid with great ceremony. The importance of Vladivostok lies in the {fact that it is'at the ter- minus of the trans-Siberian railroad, which: will run from Russia, a distance of over 5000 miles, across the barren stretches of Siberia, When completed it will have cost over $175,000,000, making it one of the greatest business enterprises of modern times. = This railroad will give Russia a great port on the Pacific ocean and enable her to develop the rich coal and iron mines of her vast territory, all of which will add to the importance of the new city. Vladivostok is also well located for a fortress,and it is expected that Russia will arm it and make it. a base of sup- plies for her ships. * Two months every year its harber is frozen over, but the Russian government keeps a channel plowed through the ice with most of whom were Chinese’ I was up 20,000 feet, which is higher than any: living bein was ever known to reach, “‘Qumarramassar-Malish, the ma- harajah of Zanzibar- “Bengal, supplied me with eight hundred coolies to go from Couch Bohave through the wilds of Tirehoot to the jungles of Ulvar, a distance of 825 miles.

An Ant’s Heroism. - The sun was just setting when I re- turned, slightly fatigued,- from my several miles’ ride on my wheel.. As is my custom on returning home, I took the garden hoseand turned water into a small trench that had been dug around a maple tree for the purpose of holding water a sufficient time to permit the dirt adjacent to the roots to become thoroughiy soaked. Sitting down near by to rest, my attention was -attracted to a group of small ants rushing hither and thither in an endeavor to escape. The bottom of the circular ditch - being covered, about twenty of the ants'sought safety on a large clod of earth. At first they were scattered about over the highest part of the little mound, and to all appearances were indifferent as to their surroundings. After a little one of the number proceeded leisurely around the little idtand, and after “finishing the eircuit hurried back to his companions. Itappéared that they then for the first time realized that they were surrounded by water. The survey was repeated several times in quick succession. The group of ants gathered more closely together and seemed to be in a state of restless anxiety. Asthe water rose the circuit grew less, the vigil more earnest and the excitement greater with each re- turn of the sentinel. They rushed about over each other in a terrible state of excitement, for the water was rapidly approaching. There was now hardly room for them to stand on; just a little while and that would be under water. They ceased struggling and settled down into’ motionless inactivity, and seemed entirely re- signed to their fate. 1 picked up a little stick and laid it across the water to the point where the ants were. They seemed dazed, and did not instantly take advantage of the means of escape offered them. One then crawled hurriedly up on the stick, went its full length out and over the blades of grass to the diy land. Without’ a second’s hesitation he turned and. retraced his steps tq his companions. Now the smallest one of the group returned with him to dry land. They both retraced their steps and the work of rescue began.’ The rest seemed entirely subservient to the will of these two. Each, with a com- panion, hurried out to a Place of safety. The small one was much more ‘active, he rescuing about two to the large one’s one. Time was precious as the water was rapidly rising: it would soon be running around the outer end of the stick, and the island have run into debt pretty deep. guess. his shrewd speculation.” LOVE IN ABSENCE.

A boy, about fifteen years old, who calls himself “Richard James Vin- cent, the boy globe trotier,” isin Hoboken, seeking free transportation to Buffalo. In the summer of 1893, he says, he left New York,and has visited almost every country on the earth, during all that time never handling a cent of money. He gaid that letters of recommenda- tion and autographs which he col- lected as he traveled made it easy to’ get first class transportation without any money whatever, ‘It was only in such places as the interior of China,” he said, ‘‘where I did not understand the language that I met with trouble. without a square meal for five months.

He did not hasten ‘as when conscious of rescuing cthers.” The water was run- ning around the stick.” The last avenue of escape was closed to him forever. .He went to the highest point and settled down perfectly still.

It consists almost entirely of meat rolls or patties. They are dipped in vinegar, soy or a solution of red pepper, when eaten. Sometimes the steamed rolls, after they have grown old, are made palatable by being toasted on a grill over a char- coal fire. Another popular dish .is doughnut fried in oil. Baking is al- thost entirely unknown, but there is a vake of the size and shape of an ox b; which in baked by being stuck on the inside of a jar shaped furnace, in which there is a hot charcoal fire. These cakes are sometimes circular, but in every case they are covered with the seeds of the sesame, which add very much to the flavor. Another. variety is a large, round cake cooked on a griddle, and which is divided into quarters when offered for sale. The Mohammedan Chinese make a similar cake, of which they are also very fond, without using any pork fat. For the better quality. of .native pastry and confectionery, rice flonr is used, but at the treaty ports and the cities fo which foreign influence bas extended many forms of sweet cake and biscuit are made of American flour.
