At the end of 1888 Persia had completed a railway system ex• tendtug six miles, working one locomotive and two cars. The first railway in Japan was the Tokio-Yokohama line, eigh- teen miles in length, commenced :in_1869 and opened in 1872. The operation of steam fail ways began in England Sept 27, 1826, when the Stacton and Dar- lington line was opened. This was single track road, thirty- eight miles in length. At the Cape of Good Hope the fastest train is run (once a week( from Cape town to the diamond fields at Kimberly (485) and makes twenty-two miles an hour including stops. The Egyptians snw their first railway opened in January 1856. The line was from Alexandria to Cairo, 130 miles. The railway track i4 perfectly level nearly all the distance. ' ,The 'railways of North Ger. ening are nearly all under state control. They operate there a system of foarth class cars, in which there aro no seats,.and the far for which is about one-quar- t¢rr that of first class. The railways of France are controlled by six companies, and a small system by the state. There is little or no competition except at one or two points where .the lines touch each other, each company seems to have the field of its own line to itself. China up to 1875 had inever • possessed:a single railway track. Ip 1876 the first line laid in that countrywas.along,a strip of land ' about nine miles in length be- tween' Shanghai and Woosung. This line was very popular with the natives, but in October, 1877, it was removed in consequence of official jealousy regarding it. PROVIDENTIAL AID. alder John Stephens held a pastorate in the Free Baptist Church at Gardiner, forty -odd years ago. Remarkable alike for sincere piety and genuine humor, the good man so tempered his teach- ings as to m.ke them entirely acceptable to saint or sinner. Riding one day along the road to West Gardiner, he overtook an ox• team that was stuck in the mud. The discouraged cattle had refused to pull, and the driver, who had sworn till the air was blue, was preparing another I string of oaths, when the parson stopped his horse, and said : 'Try prayer, my friend. Try prayer. 'Try it yourself,' retorted the vaxed teamster. .'i'll do it,' said Elder John, rind dropped on his knees in the •livagon. For a while herayed around his subject atlt,if €Maid to touch it. Gradually, however, strengthened, thened and Iris faithst n n in a g voice which bade fair to arouse the neigbbornood he besought the owner of the cattle on a thous- and hills to move the hearts and legs of those stubborn oxen. The prayer was unconscionably long and no sooner had it ended than the impatient driver prepared to start his team. 'Stop,' said Elder John descend- ing from his wagon ; 'as I have done the praying I feel that I ought to do the driving. Ilold my horse and give me the goad rtick.' The man consented to tha ar- rangement, and with a grin wait- -ed to see the parson worsted. At that moment another ox team wast seen approaching. 'Ilalloa, neighbor!' the parson shouted to the new comer, 'Lend me your cattle for a mement.' 'Hold on 1' -cried the owner of the mired cart. 'That's not fair If you can haeadio this team better by -praying than I can by swear- ing, de it; but no doubling up, mind you ; no doubling up.' Elder John's robust figure was drawn to its fullest height and his voice was like the roar of the ocean as he answered: 'My friend, the Master I serve is abundantly able to move this load with a single yoke of oxer.—ar without any oxen at all ; but when in direct answer to prayer ho sends me an extra pair of cattle, I'm going to hook them on.' And with the aid of reinforcements the loaded cart WAR easily dl awn nut of the mud.—Lewiston Journal.

James Kellie, aged abont 60 " :rare, at one time a marble poi- • ,-Ler, latterly employed a, per ler at 11).-C ommercial Hotel, G uelph, felt fromthe thir',l storey ol the hole! to the ground flour la,.( Thurt.dey night and sustained ,-uch bet•iou8 injurieb that he died. Deceased was on his way to bed at the time and accidently fell over the bannister,Minard's Liniment Cures distemper. An exchange says a farmers wife recently set a novel trap for rate. She took a wash boiler and filled it about half full of water and sprinkled a quantity of oats over the top. She then placed the trap in the barn and fixed things so as the rats could easily get at it. The averr'ge rat has as much curiosity as a woman is said to have, and of course they had to take a peep into the boiler and then get down on the innocent looking oats to see if they were the ordinary, every -day kind. The result was 42 drowned rats the first night. Cowboy life has ia, the lest fess yearslost much of its lougbness 'be cattle baron,- h:,ve discharge( most of the Met, tt• (batik, `anti have frowned nu persieteutf) up- on gambling that little of it i, done. Cards and whisky being, put away, there is small tempta- tion to disorderly conduct : so it is only when they reach some large city, and are not on duty, that they indulge in a genuine spree. On the ranches kept un- der fence they have little to do when not on the drive or in;brand- ing time, the cattle being all safe- ly enclosed. But they must take their turns at line -riding, which means a close inspection of the fences, and the repair of all breaks land (damages, Whore night over takes them, they sleep staking their horses, and rolling themselves in their blankets. These rides of inspection take days to accomplish, for there are ranches in Texas which extend in a staight line over seventy-five miles. Those ranches which are not kept fenced necessitate more work. The boys must then keep their cattle in sight, and, while allowing them to graze in every direction, must see that none in many thousands stray beyond the limits of their own particular pastures. They then go in parties scattering over the territory, for they must cover hundreds of thousands of acres in a day. It is not a life of hardship, and pays well enough. Everything is furnished to them free and of the very best, and they are paid besides thirty dollars a month. Each party stays out from two to three weeks at a time; but they take with them the finest of camp wagons, with beds and bedding, cooking utensils, the best of gro- ceries of all kinds, and as excel- lent a cook as money can employ. The prairies are full of game, and their rifles are very handy. The life is free, fascinating and pecu- liarly healthy. These men are exceedingly chivalrous to all women ; this seems to bo a trait born in them, as much a part of their moral nature as it is of their physical to have small feet, for itis seldom that a genuine Texas cowboy can be found who has not the distin- guishing mark of a handsome foot and his boots are to him all that the sombrero is to a Mexican. He will deny himself many pleas- ures, ho will go without a coat, and be seen in most dilapidated attire, but his boots must be of the best and mostbeautifol make that the country can afford ; high of heel and curved of instep, a tine upper and a thin sole,lfitting like a glove and showing tho handsome foot to perfection. Take the cowboys as a class, they are bold, fearless and gener- ous, a warm -hearten and manly set, with nothing small, vicious, nor mean about them, and Texas need not be ashamed of the brave skilled riders who traverse the length and breadth of her expan- sive prairies.—Harper's Magazine CURIOSITIES IN FIGURES. A very c.urions number is 142.- 857, which multiplied by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, gives the same figures in the same order, beginning at a different point; but if multiplied by 7 gives all nines. Multiplied by 1 it equals 142,857; multiplied by 2 equals 285,714; multiplied by 3 equals 428,751; multipli( d by 4 .equals 571,428 ; multiplied by 5 equals 714,285 ; multiplied by 6 equals 857,142 ; multiplied by 7 equals 999,999. Multiplyer 142,857 by 5 and you have 1,142,- 850. Then add the first figure to the last and you have 142,857, the original number, the figures ex- actly the same as at the start. Another mathematical w nde wonder is the following; It is discovered that the multiplication of 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 by 45 gives 44,44, 44, 44,44,45. Reversing the order of the digits, and multiplying 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 by 45, we get a result equally curious, 5, 555. 55.5, 505. If we take 1234 56789as? a multipli;and, and interchanging the figures of 45 and 54 as the multiplier 6,666,666,606. I{e- turning to the multiplicand, 9 8 7 6 5 4 3'' 1, and taking 54 as the multiplier again, we get 53,333,- 333,:14—All 3's except the first and last figures, which together read 54, the multiplier. Taking the same multiplicand and 27, the half of e4, as the multiplier, we get a product of 26,666,666,667— all 6,666,666,667— all G's except the first and last figures, which together read 27, the multiplier; Now, interchang- ing the order of the figures 27, and using 72 as the multiplier and 987654321 as the multiplicand we got a product of 71,111,111,- 112—all l's except the first and last figures, which together rend 72, the multiplier.

The latest device for making money out of the recently bere- aved, is for a stenographer to at- tend the funeral and take clown the goxl things said of the de- g3ased, from which ornamental espies of the remarks can be pre- pared and sold to friends. Jonathan Hart Groves owns a large watermelon patch at Hills- boro, an'l has a chronic fear of the melon thief. Monday night he loaded a big duck gun with a heavy charge of shot and gave the weapon to his twelve-year old son with instructions to watch the patch till daybreak and shoot any one he saw in it. The old man wondered if the boy was 'dead game,' and whether he would really shoot. Jonathan dressed himself' and sneaked into the melon patch. He was just on the point of devouring a luscious melon when the boy emptied both barrels into the old man's body. He may die. Sir Henry Tyler, president of the Grand Trunk company,accom- panied by Joseph Hickson,arrived at Sarnia, on Thursday afternoon and made a tout' of the tunnel. They also made a:close inspection of the surrounding territory, in view of other railways besides the Grand Trunk wanting to use the runnel and build approaches thereto. While nothing definite can be obtained from the mag nates of the road, the lesser lights are convinced that a second tun- nel will be begun as soon as two new shields can be obtained, and thereby be supplied with separate tunnels for etst and west bound trains. The shields in the tunnel came together Thursday morning and the great work is complete. As soon as the roadbeds and ap- proaches are finished trains will begin running under the river. This is sot for Nov. 1st. r irst-class young stock is scarce in this country, and the price of such animals, concurrently with their scarcity, should turn the attention of all owners of' cattle to the advisability of rearing more of them than they have:been doing It is a noticeble fact that every year in the spring -time calves are butchered recklessly, and thrown on the markets in the shape of veals and 'deakins,' Thus calf - rearing has gone cmnsiderably out of fashion because it has in- volved such an immense amount of personal attention, and farmers thought they could make more by sacrificing their young stock and selling cheese and butter. At the present time there is agood open- ing for;the sale:of thrifty stockers. In England farmers are buying stores at $80 a head, and they are now looking to Canada more than ever for their supply. The quarantine regulations of Groat Britain, of course, preclude the admittance of any live stock from the United States. This keen deterteel fin' young stock in tireat Britain will increase the price here, and there is going to be a boom on well-bred store cattle. Talmage raj -s :—JIy chief ob- jection to church choir singing is that 1 am a firm believer in a con- gregation doing the singing. To me a singing church is always a triumphant church. if a con- gregation is silent during the ex- ercise, or partially silent, it is the silence of' death. If when the hymn is given out, you hear the faint hum of here and there a father and mother in Isreal, while the vast majority are silent, that minister of Christ who is presid- ing needs to have a very strong constitution if he does not get the chills, ile needs not only the grace of God but nerves like whalebones. It is a constant source of' amazement to Ino how some people with voice enough to discharge all their duties in the world, when they come into the House of God have no voice to discharge their duty of singing. I really believe that if all our churches would rise up and sing that where we have 100 souls brought into the kingdom of' Christ thorn would bo 1,000. • CONSUMPTION CURED.
