If, in the movement of time, some
great question between the living and.
the dead should be put and God called
up all the dead and the leaving to de-
cide it, as we lifted our hand, and
from all the resting places of the dead
they lifted their hands, the dead would
outvote us. Why, the multitude of
the dying and the dead are as these
autumnal leaves, drifting ander our
feet no -day. We march on toward

"Certainly, and be delighted, over the

Mary."
Mrs. Conant noticed during the next
few days how often her brother refer-
red to his mother's way -which was in
every instance superior to that of his
wife's -of cooking this or that dish.

Henry made no remonstrance, and

"Mary's a natural housekeeper, 1
think, Henry.. You were certainly very
fortunate in getting suck a capable
wife."
"She's one .in a thousand," declared
Henry warmaY'
Mat noon as was his custom, he took
,his lunch at' a "down -town restaurante
He came home to his usual six o'olockt
dinner, worn out with the extra ha,rdt,

Though Mrs. Hussey declared that she
bad taken unusual care in preparing her
son's dinner, he left his potato untouch-

done; while the eine was entirely cook-
ed out of the roast. .

"No trouble at all," answered hie mo-

mused. 0 :
That niglit she wrote Mary a card.
"The schexne's working splendidly."
When Henry entered the breakfast
room next morningem found his moth-
er already there. .
"I've- had splendid success with my

- He noticed small lumps of burnt
bread floating on the surface of his
coffee. He set down the cup after •tak-

devotion thus manifaeted has cost many
a brave fellow his life.
Well, on the oceatsion referred to a
man named Haslaen brought from the
workings, or met as he was sourying
along to the pit mouth, a youth about

Comparing the figures et hand from
Great Britain with these 'last at hand.
from the railroads of the Unite& States,
it is seen in the first place that whne
in a year tbe number of passengers car-
ried in the United States is 543,000,000
t.he number carried. in Great Britain forprovisi
the same period. was 929,000,000, It is
true that there has been during the
last two ears a decline of passenger
. y ...
traffic on the railroads of the United
States, and particularly so since tae
receipts of American railroads were
ephemerally and abnormally swollen by
the business of the World's Fair, But
at t,he highest point the number of pas-.
sesagers carried on American railroads
was 600,000,000, or less then two-thirds
of the slumber of passengers carried on
British railroads. Again, there was on
all the Arraerican railroads collectively
34,310 passenger ears in use or avail-
able for use, whereas, for the same ser-
vice cal British railroads there were 58,-
738. There are twice as many locomo-
tives in use on An:lexicon ranroa,ds as
there are on British railroads, but this
disparity in the United States is ex-
plamed by 'the fact that American loco-
motives draw chietle freight trains, or
as they are called va England, "geode"
trains:- The freight or 'goods" bust-
nese of American raltroads, is twice as
great as the business of British rain
roads in the same line. In the last year
correputed the total nmnber of tons of
freight moved on: American ranroacts
was 743,000,000. The year previous it
was 700,477,000„ The average move-
