Holmi Gould's annual ir.uome Is (KM),

Over four thousand miles of new
railroud track wan put down during
1802.
The prox?rty lout by Are in tho
United Staten last yoar was valued at
$127,000,000, or an average of 2 for

It is estimated that there are two
thousand and four hundred disorders to
which the human frame is liable.
When a man ia laid up with rheuma
tism, he is apt to think that the entire
number have struck him in concert.
A man of considerable business
exerlcnco said: "I havo learned an
Important liiwon. The first ten years
of my busines life I put forth all my
energies to Increase my income; now
I pay more attention to reducing my
expenditures."
Every day a little knowledge. One
fact in a day. How small is one fact?
Only one. Ten years pass by. Throe
thousand six hundred and fifty facta are
not a smalt thing. Eyery day a little
aelf-donlul. The thing that is difficult
to do to-day will be an easy thing to do
three hundred and sixty days hence, if
each day it shall have boen repeated.
Every day a little helpfulness. We
live for the good of others, If our living
be in any sence a trim living. It Is not
in great deeds of kindness only that tho
blessing Is found. In "little deeds of
kindness," repeated every day, we find
true happiness. At home, at school in
the street, in the neighbor's house, in
the playground, we shall find opportunity
every day for usefulness. ' '
A convention of Pittsburg miners was
held In the Knight of Labor Hall yes
terday to consider mining legislation.
The bill drafted by the Commission ap
pointed by Governor Pattlnon was care
fully read and compared with the meas
ure drafted by the Mining Institute of
Pennsylvania, which differs materially
in some essential points affoctlng tho
miners' interests. The bill drafted by
the Commission makes tho operators
responsible for the negligenee of their
superintendents and mine bosses. This
clause Is entirely omitted in the meas
ure drafted by the Mining Institute.
The Commission unanimously adopted
the bill which was before the Legisla
ture and will have a oommlttee In Har
rbburg to oppose changes such as pro
posed by the Mining Institute. Time.
'"The point of greatest lnfluonce In
any sphere of life is the center of that
sphere. Whatever of Influence is at
work in the area of a circle, emanates
from its center. The center of a small
elrole is as largo as tho center of a
large circle, and, as tho clrcuraforonoe
enlarges the center remains the same.
Let him who aspires to have influence
In a widely extended circle remombor
this truth, and bear In mind that he ia
now at the center of tho sphere, and
that his greatest work must ever be
done there. His influence may, Indeed,
be less now than it is to be In the future;
but it will never emanate from any
other point than his present center of
life and being. All portions of the
lesser or the vaster sweep of any circlo's
circumference are equidistant from the
one center; and he who lives and labors
so as to be folt at the center, is doing
most for the extension of his influenoe
to the uttermost possible circumfer
ence." The Pittsburg Timet says: "Dr.
Stanton Colt, a missionary from London,
who was born in America and studied
local questions in Germany, is at New
York City to establish a social reform
club. He has selected the Tenth ward,
the most densely populated in the city,

which will establish houses where the

Wo loam that the supreme court has
affirmed tho action of our county court
in tho case of the Borough of Brookvlllo
against the estate of It. Arthurs, de
ceased, growing out of an Injury re
ceived by Mrs. H. H. nrocius while
walking over the sidewalk on the Pick
ering Btreet front ot the Central Hotel
property, owned by Mr. Arthurs. Mr.
and Mrs. Broctus brought an action
against the borough for damages for
the injury received, and wore awarded
five thousand dollars. Tho borough
then instituted suit against Arthurs,
and now tho supreme court decides ho
was liable because ot not having tho
pavement in front of his property in
proper condition; and directs payment
to be made to reimburse the borough.
The amount of the judgment against
Mr. Arthur's estate is about $7,100.
This is an important decision to our
citizens, and shows tho necessity of
every property holder maintaining a
suitable and safe pavement in front of
his property.

a hatchet and brandishing it said he
would have his horse without paying

Electric Roads and Snowfall,
When many of our electric railway
managers were boys it was just about
this time of year that they got down
from the attic or np from the cellar oi
out from the woodshed their old "double
runners," and polished and oiled them
up in anticipation of many coasts down
the icy hillside roads. They are doing
irotty much the same thing now, except
hat the "double runners" have developed
into electric railway snow plows, whose
function is to spoil coasting rather tlian
to facilitate it. These machines are ol
very recent origin, and are still in many
ways experimental devices.
Plows and sweepers have both been
used to displace the snow from electric
railroad tracks. It has been thought by
some companies that the sweeper doe
its work too thoroughly, as It cleans off
all the snow, leaving only the bare
ground for the use of other vehicles op
runners. This causes delays to the elec
tric cars and interferes with their prompt
operation. Crosby and Bell state in theii
book on the electric, railway that "it i in
beat to leave an inch or two of snow on
the track when cleared by plows. Un
less the snow is very much compacted,
or has become a sort of frozen slush, it is
then possible to obtain fair contact be
tween wheel and rail, thus keeping up
the car service."
The proper function of the snow plow
ia its constant use in keeping the snow
on the tracks from packing and freezing.
Its principal use is in the city streets.
Where the road runs out into the coun
try, or where the snows aro light, the
sweeper service will pro'ably prove
equally desirable. On many roads a
combined plow and sweeper service will
be found best of all. Electrical Review.

Captain John Miller tells a good story
about himself in connection with his trip
to the Chicago convention. While en
route he thought he would feel the pub
Ho pulse along the road, so at the vari
ous stopping places he got out on the
rear platform and made short speeches
in favor of Senator Hill. The name of
Hill did not arouse the slightest enthu
siasm, greatly to the surprise of Captuin
Miller, who before leaving Washington
had an idea that the Democrats of the
country were hungry for Hill's nomina
tion. Not a hand was clapped in re
sponse to Captain Miller's eloquence un
til the train reached a little town out in
Ohio. There one man in the crowd ap
plauded the name of Hill quite vigor
ously. Captuin Miller paused in his
speech, jumped off the train and rushed
np to the man, saying:
"My dear friend, I am glad to know
that there ia one man out in this God
forsaken country who appreciates the
name of Hill."
"I don't belong here," replied the man.
"I came out on the train with you, Cup
tain Jack."
That put an end to Ca-tain Miller's
electioneering for Senator Hill. Wash

A Serpent or tho Boa.
Chancellor Rand, of McMaster univer
sity, received by express a box which,
when opened, waa found to contain a
snake some nine feet long, of slender
build and of a dull mud color. An ac
companying letter explained the arrival.
Last May, while on the way from the
Philippine islands, the Theodore H.
Rand, a ship named after the chancellor,
was caught in a heavy gale off the Afri
can coast. Everything waa battened
down, and yet, after some hours, during
which the seas ran bodily over the ves
sel, the helmsman felt something like a
rope around bis leg, and looking down
was horrified to find this snake.
The ship at the time was more than a
hundred miles off the shore, waa closely
battened and had not been in port for
soma weeks. Many theories have been
raised to account fur the reptile's pres
ence, some thinking it bad been washed
aboard during the storm; others that it
bad lain dormant since the ship left port
and others suggesting that a genuine
saa serpent had at list been found. The
osntsiu forwarded toe snake to thechan
ouor as a curiosity. Toronto Empire.
