Philadelphia, Baltimore and Newport News to take cargoes of corn abroad as soon as they can be loaded Tak «g 100,000 bushels to the vessel as an average it is estimated that 2,000000 bushels have already been engaged for foreign shipment., and this te supposed to represent only the be ginning of the business- It looks as if corn was to be king this year.

The city of Paris owns but does not operate its street railways. At intervals of ten years the entire system is leased to the highest bidder. The result is that the city receives an annual rental of $1,000,000, and the street-car service is the best and cheapest ia the world. Philadelphia owns its gas works, and has found immense profit in, it. Baltimore owns its waterworks, the result being that it is the water service of any city in the United States.

Some persons may have wondered how the officers of the Louisiana lottery, who reside and do business in New Orleans, could be indicted in South Dakota. The indictment is found under an act of Congress which makes it a crime to send lottery matter through the mails, the offense being punishable either at the place where the tetters are mailed or where they are received. The Government has found a large number of indictments against the ’otterv officials in South Dakota. North Dakota and Montana, and they will have to answer each one in person. "

Dr. Will R. Lee of Springfield, 0., who has begn appointed royal physi-, etfcn to the king of Siam, is only 23 Vaars of age. Only four years ago lie was driving an express wagon and delivering express packages in Springfield. He was youthful, of handsome appearance, of fine physique, rare intelligence, and was al I ways active in church work. His friends raised a fund of over $1,01)0 to assist Mr. Lee in taking a coarse at the University of New York to lit himself for a medical missionary. He was graduated with high honors in the class of 1890. and after life marriage with a young Canadian lady, who had also studied to become a medical missionary, he was assigned by the Presbyterian board o! foreign missions, to a station a 1 Pet chaburee, Siam. He entered into the work with a will, and the stories of the astounding euvgs of the young Yankee physician soon filed the sleepy Oriental land with wonder. What it took the. native physicians five weeks to cure with tin r paean tomfoolery young Lee would cure in five days. He had only worked, six months at Petebahuree when the fame of his wonderful cures spread Ifo Bankok and reached the ears o: the Siamese government.

Travelling Q,cro§s the plain _ lb a stage or an army ambulance you will see him afar off' galloping as if he had been sent for the doctor and was afraid he wouldn’t find' him at home. Approaching you as the two paths cross he will usually rein up, exchange salutations,, study your outfit closely, checking his pony to the slowest of walks, and. without asking a question, will know just where you are going, what you are going to do and what food you will probably give him if he calls upon Sou at your evening fire. Then lie ; off qgain, ranging easily in the saddle, and soon disappearing from sight. The land from which he came is as empty as that into which he has vanished.

Of course there is no possibility of success. The Socialists are preparing; it is said, to make a warm attack iu the Reichstag upon anv measure proposed in pursuance of the Kaiser's new hobby of enforcing personal morals by law. The Kaiser's yiews are not at all acceptable to tho Socialists, who charge him with attempting to assume authority little short of Omnipotent, and altogether unsuited to the present stage of civilization. Between Bismarck and the Social ists all indications point to a lively session in tho Reichstag. A fire broke out in London, Eng., on the 12th. in the quarter occupied by lumber yards, factories and a large namber tenements occupied by poor families. The flames spread with frightful rapidity, fed as they were with the immense quantity of highly inflammable material stored in j the vicinity of the spot where the fire originated. Tho fire brigade responded promptly to the alarm, but for a long time their efforts to subdue the flames were re- j warded with but poor success, and it ap- . peared to the onlookers that a great por- I tlou of the business part of the district would be devastated. Fortunately, how- | ever, much or the lumber and timber I stacked in the yards had been thoroughly j soaked by a tremendous rain the day be- , fore, and this to a great extent preveuted the conflagration From doing great damage.

The Viscosity of Milk.

The viscosity, or sticky property, ol milk has been an interesting study of late years by dairymen. The degree of viscosity in milk is a sure test o! its purity and qinlity. An undue viscosity in butter is a sign of adultera tion or counterfeit In making buttej it is found that the less glutiaoui the milk is, the better it is foi butter. A number of expert meots have been made on New York dairy farms, which have lead to some practical discoveries. The more visi ons, or sticky the cream is, the harder it will be t< churn. By mixing a little gelatine ot other sticky substance with cream, it can be mixed ud and beaten without any danger of making butter. Ih the same way if the cream is very viscous it will be hard Work to make butter, md very little will be made eyen aftet It comes. Cream that is very sticky should be removed from the milk, ant} thoroughly mixed with water, until it is thinned down. It will then yield butter very quickly, and, it is believed a larger quantity. Butter that is mads from Don-viscous cream will keen much better than that made from w cous cream. ,

Chimneys toppled over, and even houses were wrested from their foundations. Many of the people of the village thought. the mil-, lenium had arrived. In Valparaiso the shock was distinctly felt, many supposing t to be an earthquake, A secret cave has recently been discovered in'the vicinity of Valparaiso. It is the second one discovered within the past ten days. A secret entrance admits horn and rider to an under ground passage forty rods in length. It was found that rude stalls had beeu constructed, there being space enough for quartering twenty or more horses. Several little rooms roughly furnished were utilised as hiding places of the thieves. The sand, whicli covered all tracks of mantend beast, has always prevented the successful t racking of the gang but tlie discovery of this secret rendezvous has probably cut short the operations of the most daring gang of thieves in northern Indiana.

TRAIN ROBBERY.

Masked Men Hold Up a Train on tho St. Taul Railroad. ' • The midnight train from Chicago on the Milwaukee <fc St. Paul railroad, was robbed by masked men near Western Union Junction at 1 o’clock on the I2th. The train had been out of the junction, twenty-three miles south of Milwaukee* about half a mile, when the fireman, Edward Averill, who was putting some coal infertile furnace, was startled to hear a noise behind him. Ho turned around and discovered two heavily masked men clamoring over the engine tender....-Both leveled their double-barreled muskets at the fireman and the engineer, “Bill” McKay, with the injunction, '‘Don’t move an Inch till we teil you to, or we will blow the tops of your d—d heads off.” ; Engineer McKav was.directed to run his train to within a point about a mile from Western Union junction. Here the engineer was commanded to stop. Both men were ordered to step down out of the cab and get in lino ahead of the robbers. They were marched to the express car under cover, and thpn the work of blowing open the express car began. Several bombs, the fireman thinks, were thrown into tl»e car and the explosion was terrific and must have awakened every passenger on tho train, but nobody appeared on the scene. The robbers, undoubtedly, were not less than six or seven in number, judging from themanner in which they conducted operations! The train men believe they had a team'close at hand with which to cart away the safes, which were taken bodily o;it of the car. Fireman Averill’s story is the most cilfcnprchen«ive. “They made me walk ahead of them to the express car,” he said, “and they gave roe a jimmy to pry open the boxes. I had to move aP ‘dead matter’ off the boxes and do their dirty work generally, hut I was glad to get off witli a wliplo skin. They got tho| messenger's keys, though he was in no iuirry to give them lip, and they will have no trouble in getting away with alj the money.” • - W., • ’ The train was hold for over half an hour, and if the plans of tho robbers had not been perfect they would not havo been delayed much. Their entire efforts were centered on the express car and not a passenger was molested. The fireman thinks t here were a half dozen men-guard-ing the coaches, however. mine s Unless care is taken there is considable danger of getting- the shoulders sore, and if they once get galled it is difficult to cure them.- It will be q much better plan to take considerable pains to keep them well, than to risk curing and working at the same time. One of the first items i$ to see that the harness is properly fitted; each horse should have a collar fitted to him, and then adjust tho harness to fit the collar sis perfectly sis possible. The same harness should then be kept without changing. It is very important with the teams that are kept steadily at work to have the harness fit well. Keep the collar clean. They should be cleaned off in the morning and at noon. It will, pay to remove the harness and collars at noon. A salutation of the period—First clubman (aged 17) —“Hhilo. me boy!” Second Clubman (aged 60) —“Hello, old man.”

Boynton states that had it not been understood, prior to the recent election, that John Sherman would be reelected to tho Senate in the event of Republican success, notonly would the Hamilton county Republican candidates for the Legislature have failed oFelection, but the State would not have gone Republican, nor would the Republicans havo been in the legislative majority to-day. In other words. Gen. Boynton holds that the people of Ohio emphasized their desire for tho re-election of Senator Sherman by a general Republican victory; that Sherman was before the people at the polls as much as if his name had been on the ticket. Hd excoriates 0110 of Ohio's prominent Republicans by saying: “In a question of such vast moment to one of the foremost States of tho Union, where the issue is whether it shall maintain the lead in the Senate of tho United States or drop to the loast influential position there, it is no time to mince words, or to partially veil unpleasant facts under vague forms of expression. Beyond expression the Republicans of the Senate hold Gov. Foraker personally responsible, through the publication of the ballot-box scandal, for the loss of Ohio two years ago, and the consequent election of Brice. In this they bnt agree with What is known by the Republicans of Ohio and bolieved by the whole cruntry. This ballot-box scheme was universally regarded as the most stupid campaign concoction ever contrived in the history of politics, though it is not claimed that the Governor planned it.
