The latest report of the Intorstnlo Commerce Commission shows that tho vast railroad system of tho Uni ted States has souled down to a steady rate of growL: which is in marked contrast to tho enormous and, ns la . tor developments proved, disastrous additions to its milongo which were made in the last decade. That a boom in construction which resulted . in tho addition, during a single year of 12,000 milos of now road, was al together disproportionate to tho de mands of the situation was proved by tho largo numbor of roads which v > wont into tho hands of the receivers during and after tho panie of 1893. Of lato years there has been a decided improvement in the railroad situa ci?n, for not only have many roads been removed from the control of re ceivers, but a certain amount of new construction has been undertaken. Tho report for tho year ending .lune 80, 1898, shows at that dato 94 roads operating 12,744 miles of track wero in tho hands of receivers, a decrease of 0,110 miles During] tho year 45 roads were removed from tho receivors'hands as against ll roads for which receivers were ap pointed. The total number of rail ways in the United States was 2,047, and tho total number of miles of track io operation, including side tracks and sidings, was 247,523. To operato this system required 86,234 locomotives and 1,226,174 cars, an increase of '248 locomotives and 28,694 cars as compared with the previous year. The total number of passengers carried was 501,006,681, which is 11,621,483 moro than in thc previous year, while the number of tons of freight carried showed an in crease of 137,300,301 tons, tho total for tho year being 879,00G,;U)7 tons. Tho gross earnings reached a total of $1,247,305,021, an increase during the year of $125,235,848, while the Rot earnings for thc year were. $429, 352,345, an increase of $59,787,33(1. The amount available for dividends or surplus was il40,319,421, and the to tal amount of dividends declared was $96,240,804. The total amount of railway capital outstanding was $10, 818,554,031, and of this only thirty four per cent paid any dividend. We learn that out of a total of 47,741 casualties there were (5,859 persons killed during tho year and 40,882 injured. Two hundred and twenty-one passengers were killed, or one for every 2,2(17,270 carried, while the number of injured was 2,945, oi one for every 170,111 carried. The perils of "railroading," however, aro painfully manifest in the fact that one out of every 417 employes is killed and one out of every 28 is injured, tho total number of killed during thc year being 1,958, and of injured 31,761. We feel constrained again to point oui that these slatis MiiGST'of;injuries and fatalities indicate that much remains lo be done in in troducing safety appliance, for thc protection of employes. Tho Inter state Commerce Commission has done good work in enforcing tho equipment of cars with automatic couplers ; and it is to be hoped that in its leniency toward roads which arc financially embarrassed it will not Jose sight of the fact that tin; lifo and limb of the vast anny of em - ployes that work our railroads aro of paramount importance. - Scientific American.

Thc incident of Dewey's praise for a Charleston boy is reported in thc New YorV World by Lavinia Hart, a young, woman reporter who inter viewed tho admiral. Miss Uart bad just roferred to Dewey as a hero, when bo said : "You really must not call mo a hero," ho said modestly, "after all l-l-" "W?? scared to death all through tho hattie," 1 said timidly. "Jixactly," ?aid the admiral re li?ved. "Now," ho continued, "hore comes ono of tho real heroes of Manilla." A lanky youth in uniform hove in sight. "That boy," said tho admiral, "has worked himself up out of the ranks. Now he's chief quartermaster. He'll bo heard from somo day. His name's Mnhrtens and ho stem ed tho Olympia through tho battle of Manilla." "Mehrtons," as tho lad saluted, ? and was passing, "whero did you I come from ?" ?.'Charleston, South Carolina, sir."

Ono of the striking characteristics of modern business is the constantly increasing tendency to convert into salable commodities materials for? morly regarded as waste. A few yoara ago the cotton seed crop of the Southern States bad little or no value ; to-day, tho seed figures as no inconsiderable item in tho profits of cotton raising. No part, however minute, of tho animal slaughtered at abattoirr is now waste ; hide, hoofs, horns, hair, blood, and oven intes tines, aro all converted into artiolos of commercial value. In laot to Buch an ex tont is this conversion of so called waste into commoroial com modities carried that in some indus tries, it is assorted, tho valuo of tho by-products is ofton sufficient to pay tho total oxponso of a factory, and consequently tho manufacture of the articles tor which tho plant waB primarily intended may bo regarded as without cost. Tho oconomio advantage of this tendency can scarcely bo overesti mated. It benefits first tho producer of tho raw material by increasing tho utility, and heneo tho market valuo of his product. Tho consumer, on the other hand, shares in tho ad vantage, because an increase in tho number of quantity of articles de rived from tho raw material in the process of manufacturo naturally tends to cheapen tho price of tho manufactured ai tide. Moreover, much of tho comfort and many of tho conveniences of modern lifo aro duo Holely to products derived from material that only a few years ago was regarded as waste. In the agricultural industry of thc United States by far tho largest item of waste, at least BO far as bulk or quantity is concerned, is connected with tho raising .of corn ; and of lnt^ years science has been devoting at tention, with no small measure of success, to the problem of covorting this waste, as represented by the stalks, > ito useful and valuable com modities. Tho result up to the present timo is that six articles manufactured from cornstalks seem to have taken a permanent placo in thc world's commerce These arc cellulose and cclluloso dust, a cattle food, a first-class cardboard, an ex cellent quality of papor, and a glue. Cclluloso ?8 produced from the p'th of the stalk and is used as a lining for battleships. Its valuo in stopping leaks automatically has been well established. Cellulose is worth $400 per ton, and it is estimated that ono ton can bo manufactured from fifteen lons of stalks. Tho dust of cellulose is proposed for uso in making powder and dynamite on ac count of its power of absorbing and retaining nitroglycerine. Thc cattle food is manufactured from the residue of the stalk after the pith has been removed, and may include the husks and blades, though generally this is not the case. In thc process of removing tho pith, thc stalks arc cut into small pieces and these aro ground into a coarse meal, in general appearance resembling coarse bran. Experiments at thc Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station in 1897 showed that 100 pounds of this new corn product contains seven pounds moro of diges tible! matter than 100 pounds of timothy hay does, and that tho new corn product contained nearly Ovo Limes as much protein as timothy hay. This new cattle feed can bc uniformly mixed with ground grains ; it ?H superior to the grain in eeping qualities and can he cooked, com pounded with other food material, and compressed. Its form adapts it to feeding in many places where it is inconvenient or oven impossible to get corn or hay, and it therefore promises to bocomo an excellent condensed ration for army uses. It is obvious that tho extensive utilization of the constalks as a com mercial commodity, the consequent establishment of manufactories ade quate to handle the crop and thc creation of market for its several products would he of almost, inesti mable benefit to American agricul ture. Thc average area planted to corn in'tho United States is about 80,000,000 acres and it ?H estimated that the yield of corn stalk will av or ago about two tons per acre, de pendent largely, however, upon tho stage of maturity at cutting. Hence thc annual cornstalk production is about 100,000,000 tons. Of this amount about two-thirds, or over 100,000,000 tons have heretofore been regarded SB waste or litter, less than one-third of thc total weight of stalks being serviceable as fodder for cattle Thia wasto matter has been a serious burden to farmers for a long time, not because of loss of revenue, but simply because of the necessity of getting rid of it bj burn ing or otb or wiso in order to olear the ground for cultivation. Science lias now demonstrated that this wasto has a value of its own and that tho farmers of the country havo been burning up or otherwise destroying material which contains elements that are capable of being converted into commodi ties of high commercial value Tho demand for cornstalks is at present, of course, entirely local in ita nature and very limited in extent, but tho possibilit?s of thc develop ment of the industry are woithy of attention.

"Barred Out of Home." A little back from thc country roadway ft few miles out from one of ow large: South ern cities stands thc ruin of a magnificent mansion, once thc scene of a pathetic llfe dratun, which, though years have passed. yet thrills thc heart of one who witnessed the closing scene. Well is remembered thc wild tempest? nous night with rain driving in sheety tor. rents across the high iron-spiked wall, and bealing, as it seemed, almost like bayonets against the barred ?nd bolted gateway. And there beneath the frowning areli, shel terless and homeless in thc pitiless storm that had driven strong men to cover, Uta fierce lightning flashes that came crackling through the night revealed the frail figure, of a delicate yoting wf innn with face up turned to heaven and clenched hands up. lifted in mortal agony, while her wail of misery penetrating even the awful voice of thc storm could be hear;', in thc oft-repeated refrain: "My home! My home! Barred out of home ! " She had been a bright ambitious girl ('.tutting hopefully abroad to cultivate her naturally beautiful voice, determined to make a Kuropeau fame for herself ns i\ successful singer. Dui circumstances were against her. Unfair rivalries robbed her of the best opportunities. Despite her Undoubted talent failure followed failure; she grew morbidly sensitive and wrote less and less often to the fond parents whose greatest happiness was to supply her every need. .She was proud : "I will not write again" she said one day, "until I have succeeded." Weeks lapsed into months. Suddenly misfortune and death fell upon the grand old homestead. The young girl giving up the unequal struggle came back across the sea to the death-stricken, bolted, barred, deserted house all unaware of the swift disaster which had left her penniless, rphaued and alone. Barred out of home ! " This ic. the sad refrain ringing through the memories of that pathetic s cc ac. "Barred out of hollie" is the thought that well may echo through the hearts of many a woman who seems to all outward appearance surrounded with every household comfort, that the heart could wish. Alas, health is lacking, Home ls no home to the poor sick broken down Womat) who has no strength, health or en ergy to enjoy it. Disease bolts and bars a.
