For rates, schedule, maps or.any informa tion7 write to WM. J. CRAIG, General Passenger Agent, WOODEN RAILROADS THE FIRST CRUDE METHODS USED IN GREAT BRITAIN. Tracks Were Merely Stout Planks or Maybe Blocks of Stone-The Flange Was Invented Toward the End of the Seventeenth Cent. Y. It is not known with any certainty when the first pair of parallel tracks for wheIeled tid-alc ivas' laid down in Oreat Britain or whether it was ,f wooid or of stone. Perhaps th& forier Is the more probable, the material be lng found eyerywbere- and its long shape being.,iuch more .suggestive of fitness for such a phrpose than stone.. But so long as each neighborhood pro duced everything it wanted such thingis were not needed. At last the destrue tion of timber near LonCon imade the use of coal indispensable. This could only be conveyed by sea, and one of the few- places where It could be got with :the. limited appliances and skill of those days was - the Iralley of - the Tyne, j-st above and below, Newcastle. About ..300 years ago a considerable trade in coal for shipment began there, which soon led to difficulties as to get ting -it-from the. mines- into -the boats. The distances were small, but the art of -roadmaking -had diet .olt- and in bad- weather pack horses could not carry enough to render.their use profit able. Soine unknown beneftar tihis7 species at last laid down two parallel lines of timber for carts to run on. Probably -they were merely stout planks at first, but the sinliing at the joints would soon suggest that other planks should- be placed under them, the structure then becoming fairly ef ficient. When flanges, either-- on the wheels or the rails, were first invented or by whom is not known, but. it was apparently toward the end :of the seventeenth century. Those wooden railroads seem -to have survived throughout the !reater part of the following. century, and even into the-nineteenth in some c'ases. 'The Mid dleton colliery railroad at Leeds, for instance, was of wood 'until-it was relaid for the use of Blenkinsop's rack rail engines. These were started in 1812 and were inqdestionably the first commercially successful locomotives. Many other wooden railroads lad ex isted in the same neighborhood for fifty or sixty years previously, and no doubt In -:other - colliery - distriots as well. One was laid down near Shef field, for instance, so early as about 1712 from the Duke of Norfolk's col liery at The Manor into the town, near ly one and one-half miles down hill. It lasted till 1775, when it was destroyed in a riot. Next year it was reconstruct ed with the first cast iron flanged rails by James Outram, their jiavent'or. . wooden railroad long existed at Bath. It was laid do'wn in' 171 - liy Ralph Allen, who, having gained a fortune by postoffice contracts, acquired and de veloped extensive quarries of the cele brated Bath oolite stone on Combe down. These being at i great height and away from any regular mode of transit, it became necessary to devise a means of bringing down such a heavy material. The wooden railroad occu pied the site of what Is now cailld Prior Park road and was laid pairtly upon low walls and partly on the ground, "like the wagon ways belong ig to the collieries in the north of England." - - The colliery lines about Newcastle used in the eighteenth century rails of beech wood, carefully planed on the top and pegged down to crosspieces, which were even then termed "sleep era'." Longitudinal timbers in addition were sometimes used, the extra height being of use in enabling the cross sleepers to be well covered up and protected from the action of the horses' feet. There were usually two lines of rails, the descending one being called the main way, the other the byway. , The cars held a Newcastle chaldron, or fifty-three hundredweight, 5.0J36 pounds. They were built of 'fir planks, strengthened with iron straps, and had -oak or ash soles. They sloped forward, having slightly larger wheels at that end, which was found to ease the draft. These wheels were of cast iron, the rear pair being made solid of pieces of beech wood dovetailed and lamped together. It was supposed that brakes held better on wood than on iron. Some of these wooden lines ended in a short timber viaduct, where~ the land sloped much to the river, leading to a shipping'quay, from which the coal could either be discharged at once down a chute ,into the "keel"' or barge which carried it to the ships or stored if no keels were at hand. The wagons opened below to effect this. In going down hill with a loaded wagon the horse followed behind, so that he might not be knocked .down if it got beyond control, which is said to have happened rather frequently. The drivers generally owned the horses. often of a miserable description, and were paid by the trip or "gait."-Rail road Gazette. Nests on the Water. It is almost unthinkable that a bird should build a nest on the water. Yet that is exactly what the grebes always do. With reeds, grass and plant stems the grebe makes a regular floating is land, somewhat hollowed out on top, usually near the opeb water,. of a marshy or reedy lake. We -have sev eral kinds of grebes, but their nests are much alike, sometimes moored to the reeds, but usually floating freely on the water.--St. Nicholas. The Finish. "What is a finishing school?" "It is a place where girls who have any lingering respect for their parents go to have it removed."--Life. Bears the T,~he Kind You Have Always Bought of Chesapeake Bay.

Zbroaster; the prophet oif ancient Iran. arose about the -middle of the seventh century before Christ as a re former of the older creed df Persia, a primitive form of nature worship which had become debased through corruption and crass superstition. His birthplace is believed to have been in the.province of A zarbaijan, to the west of the Caspiau sea. a 'egion abounding in voleanlic monutains, hot springs, naphtha wells and other igneous phe xomena. By inheritance lie was a mem ber of the sacerdotal tribe of the Mag! and by calling a forerunner of the wise men 'from the east who worshiped cen turies later at the cradle in Bethlehem. Inspired by ecstatic visions of heaven and warned by prophetic signs of the terrors of hell. he came to teach his people the ethical meaning of the con flict between good and evil untler the form of Ormazd and Ahriman as god and devil. Filled Ivith the hogle of an eternal existence after the-'general resurrection of the dead, he sQught to lead-his followers to -a more.piritual life and to teach them the ifral sig nificance of the motto of his faith, "Good thoughts. good words, jood deeds," and to guide them -also In prac tical ways, inculqating the practice of - agriculture, kindness- to animals, es pecially the cow, habits of thrift and industry, together with those of bodily cleanliness and the observance of cer tain rites and ceremonies in their daily life. Uis death is th:ought to have:oc curred at Balkh, In eastern Iran, about 583 B. C., during the religious war be tween Iran and Turan,' which was called forth by his teaching. Zoroaster's creed becanie the religion. of an eastern world empire. The law of the Medes and Persians, which knew no *change, molded the history of- the early kingdom of Iran, and the same de crees prevailed in Bacteria. It was by Ormazd's will that the sovereign rulers of these lands held sway, kings by dl v'ne right. Cyrus the Great is called the Lord's "anointed" and his "shep herd" even in the Bible, and "king by the grace of Auramaz.da" was Darius' own proud claim. The inscriptions and the Avesta alike exalt the sacred-maj esty of the king. But many of those who once were kings of Zoroaster's line are now known only by name. Persia. is Mohammedan, the Persians are Mussulmans by faith, and Islam has blotted out much of the..ancient history and creed. The Zoroastrians of Persia, stigmatized as Gabars, number not more than 10,000 souls. Yezd is the home of about 8,000 of these. Kirman, a smaller city to the southeast, claims about 2,000 more. Teheran, the capi tal, near where Zoroaster's mother is said to have been born, has less than 300 Shiraz numbers. not fifty of the ancient belief, Isfahan a half dozen and some of the minor towns can each add three or four more to make up the talesman's count. Frowned upon as "fire worshipers," which.they really are not, despised or persecuted as in fidels, suri-ounded by business .restric tions an(, social disabilities, the "Jews of the east," as they are sometimes called, maintain their lives at high cost. And yet they possess admirable qualities, and it is these characteristics that have preserved their religion from being utterly effaced. Through ages of misfortune and distress they have remained true to it, and by their ster ling traits "of truth, :nprightness, gen erosity and devotion they still exem plify what was best in it.-A. 'V. Wil liams Jackson in Century-. Justice of Inequality. The eastern tale is generally a co~m pound of that humor, simplicity and Imagination that we associate, rightly or wrongly, with the Irishman, just be cause Ireland is the nearest country to our own that is not aggressively Sax on. What could be more Irish, for in stance, than the behavior of the great Turkish hero of so many stories, Nasr ed-Dini Hodga, when a neighbor came to borrow his donkey. "My donkey Is not here," he said. The words were scarcely out of his mouth when the animal brayed loudly. "But your don key is here; I can hear him," cried the neighbor. "What!" shouted the enrag ed Turk. "Do you mean to say you be lieve my donkey before you believe me?" Wit in the east, as elsewhere, is nothing without its accompanying quality of insight to turn it into ex quisite humor, and Nasr-ed-Din Hodga showed himself at his best when ask ed to divide a bag of nuts among the assembled company. He gave fifty to one, twenty to another, two to another, and so on. until he was asked in aston ishment why he divided them in such a manner. "I am doing it as God would," he answered, with a smile. London Chronicle. .Striking Clocks. The salesman in the jewelry store was talking of the merits of various wall clocks to a patron and finally pointed out one as a great bargain. "Not for me," Interrupted the ens tonmer: "that clock strikes, and I wouldn't have it as a gift." "You're different from the usual run of pur chasers; they prefer striking clocks." commented the salesman. "Yes, but they don't keep billiard rooms," ex plained the customer. "I want the clock for my establishment, and a strik ing clock would lose me money. Pool and billiards are fascinating games and players get so absorbed they for get all about time, which they wouldn't do If there was a clock striking regu larly. A clock striking every hour In my place would make a big hole in the receipts, and I guess a clock that struck half hours would put me out of business. No, sir: you don't find a wise pool room keeper hanging a striking clock in his place." CASTOR IA F0r Tnfants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of , The Art of Glove Cutting. The cutters of the great glove houses in Brussels and in France earn even higher wages than the cutters of the most fashionable tailors in London and New York. So difficult is this art of cutting gloves that most of the prin cipal cutters are known to the trade by name and by fame, and the peculiar knives which they use In the business are so highly prized that they are handed down; from generation to gen eration as heirlooms. Beas the The Kild You Have Always Bought WAMPUM. What It~Tiand How the Indiann Used to Make It. When Columbus disicovered America he found the Indians carrying on trade from tribe-to tribe with wampum. Anything-that has valug may be used as moneY.- In anciept Syracuse and Britain tin was used yamoney, and we ffid-that iron 'vas so used at one time In Sparta, pleges of sill:in China, cat tl' in Roie and Germany, leather among the Carthaginial" nails in Scot land, lead in Burma, pi- inum in Rus sia, cubes of pressed tea in Tartary, slaves among the Anglo-Saxons, salt in Abyssinia, etc. Wampum is from an Algonquin word meaning "white." The Indians have ever been fond of ornaments, particu larly of beads. They used to make beads of seashells in the following way: A fragment of stone was with much care "worked down" to the size of a small nail, having one end quite pointed, and it was then fastened to a piece of cane or a reed. With this simple tool the Indian workman chip ped off a bit of the inside of a conch shell or a part of the shell of a hard clam and rubbed it down to the size desired. This bit of shell he held in his hand, placed the sharp end of the stone against it and then turned the stone around and around until a hole was drilled entirely through the shell. The shell beads thus tediously manu factured were called wampum. These beads were either white or of a purple color, the last being valued much high er than the first. It was the iery la borious way of making wanpiim that gave it value. The wampum 'as artis tically strung upon hempen threads and. used as necklaces, bracelets and rings. Often it was woven' into belts about three inches in width and two feet in length. The wampum belt servedc many pur poses. It was sent from tribe to tribe with solemn promises and messages, -it was used in making peace, in asking for aid in time of war, for -personal adornment and also as a "circulating medium." The coast tribe Indians were the wampum makers. The in terior Indiggj ?pentjheir time hunting and exchanged gaiie df all kinds -for the wampum made by the coast tribes. For a long time after white people had settled in the new world small coins were scarce and wampum was used as change. Finally the palefaces set up lathes by treadles for the pur pose of making wampum quickly, and soon the Indian wampum makers were, as we say nowadays, "out of a job." Early English Bookbindings.. During the reign of Elizabeth the fashion in bookbinding underwent a considerable. change, the graceful sim .plicity of the early .work, with its 'rather severe and restrained ornament, giving place to a heavy, overdecorated style, in which a superabundance of gilding hid poverty of design. This style reached its height in the bindings produced for ,Tames I., which were commonly dotted all over with flowers de-luce or thistles, while the corners were filled with a heavy block- of coarse design. During the reign of Charles the bindings were, as a rule, copied from French work, and the de signs carried out with very small tools; but, though foreign Influence was strongly felt at first, the English bind ers soon struck out a line of their own, and -Samuel Mearne, the binder to Charles II., produced some admirable work and seems to have Introduced the quaintly shaped panel which gave the name of cottage binding to a cer tain class of work. At a little later date an Edinburgh binder, whose name Is unknown, but whose work is easily distinguishable, executed some marvel ous pieces of work on very dark green morocco. Monotonous. A well known physician once told a patient who he suspected was receiv ing too many calls from solicitous friends to make a stroke with a pencil on a piece of paper every time he was asked, "How are you today?'' The- re sult for one day was just twenty-four strokes, and the physician immediately gave strict orders that no visitor should be permitted to enter the sick room until further notice, remarking to the nurse that if his patient must be worried to death there was at least no reason why it should be done in such an unscientific manner. Only those who have suffered serious illness know how trying it is to be required to answer again and again the same question asked by one well meaning individual after another. -It would matter less if visitors contented them selves with asking just one question, but they do not, and the minute de tails of one's ailments become pecul iarly depressing after a few repeti tions.. Many people .forget that rest ad quiet are often invaluable agents in securing restoration to health. Chinese Gardens. In the ornamenting and beautifying of gardens the Chinese excel over all other nations. By means of a variety of winding walks they make a small place appear twice as large as it really Is. Innumerable flowerpots, contain-' ing a -great variety of beautiful asters, of which they are very fond, are some times arranged in a labyrinth, from which you cannot get out again with out a guide. They seem to have a very extensive assortment of asters; one species is quite white, as large as a rose, with long graceful leaves, which the Chinese use in the season for salad, justly esteeming them a very great delicacy. When the asters are all in full bloom, the pots arranged hand somely near a piece of water and the walks and alleys well lighted at night with variously colored lamps, a Chi nese garden has the appearance of one of those enchanted palaces we read of in the Arabian tales.
