TO ABOLISH PREFERENCES AND SECRET REBATES. : Publishers Press! .Philadelphia., ft,. Sapt. 4. An ofilcial announcaajent was made by the Peansj-lvania Railroad company that it has sold a. part of. its. holdings of Baltimore & Ohio and Norfolk & Western ; shares. The stocks were purchased six years ago; it is stated to establish such relations with the managements cf these properties as would incline them to join the Pennsylvania Kailroad company in an effort to abolish secret rebates and preferences. " ' '" ". ,. 1 The statement says: ."'The desired result having been realized and the management' entertaining no fears that the railroads of .the country will ever, fall back' into the old practices, the directors of the company had thought it wise to .reduce its ownership in thos? companies, which had been done" by selling approximately one-half of its holdings in each - to Kiihn. Loch & Co. On account of the allegation recently .", made. that the company was seeking to control the tidewater bituminous coal traffic, the directors had taken this action in deference to the present state of- public opinion upon such matters, although there was no foundation for the charge, and' although it was confidentlytbelieved that the company was entirely within : its legal rights in purchasing and holding these stocks." The Pennsylvania Railroad " company's holding in the B. & O. railroad amounted to 51,573,000 and in the Norfolk and Western $25,S40.0aO.' Inquiries having been made at the offices of the Pennsylvania railroad for the exact- amount of stock of the Baltimore & Ohio and Norfolk & Western railroads sold by the ' Pennsylvania to Kuhn, 1 Loeb & Co., the company grave out the following statement: "The Pennsylvania has sold about 400.030 shares of Baltimore & Ohio stock and about ' 160.000 shares LOST Saturday on the 6:30 interurban to Cedar Springs Hotel, a white mother of pearl fan, valued as a gift.

HORSESHOE NAILS.' The Way- They Are Turned Out Esprt Werkmen. Threa million separate shoe nails are often cast from a ton of metal. Of the smaller sizes 2,000 nails are molded in a single mold, and an expert workman will make eighty molds in an ordinary working day, thus turning out 100,000 separate nails. When the metal in a liquid state is poured into the mold it runs through the sand in passages provided in the molding process. The whole of the nails are cast together and are, when removed from the sand, connected by a network of iron one with another. In this "condition the iron is as brittle as glass, and very little force is required to separate the nails from the network which holds them together. They then have to undergo the process known as annealing. They are mixed up with hematite iron ore, which is in a powdered state, put Into iron pots and placed hi r.u annealing furnace, a sort of kiln. 'Here they, remain for some days. c T9 being taken to so regulate the heat to which they are subjected that the Iron will not be remelted, but brought very nearlytto that condition. The action of the raw iron ore upon the brittle casting is marvelous. After cooling It can be bent with out risk of breaking, and It becomes 8 ! useful and serviceable article. TUe It Is lu tUe River. "" It is little short of astonishing to see how little water is required to float the southern river steamers, a boat loaded with perhaps a thousand bale? of cotton slipping along contentedly where a boy could wade across the stream. Once, however, the Chattahoochee got too low for even her light draft commerce, and -at Gunboat shoals a, steamer grounded. As the drinking water on board needed replenishing, a deck hand was sent ashore with a . coufile of water buckets. Just at this moment a northern traveler art proached the captain of the boat, ano asked him how long he thought the.? would have to stay thorc. "Oh, only nutil that man gets back with a bucket cf water to pour into the river," tho captain roplicd. Pros ently.the deck hand returaed. and tlif stale water from th? cooler was. emptied overboard. Instantly, to the amazement of the trave!ei the boat began to coto. "Well, if that doesn't beat thunder!" he gaspsd. - The fact was that the boat, touching the bottom, had r.cteil r.s a dam, and there was soon backed up behind her enough watey to lift hT-tjver the shoal and send h?r o:i down the stream.

We have become so used to the many wonderful inventions and appliances of the present ngj that we take them as a matter of course, going about our work as though we hid n'ways had the locomotive, the telophc-ne, the telegraph and double jointed collar buttons. It is only when sjme special thing occurs that we are brought up suddenly and made to wonder how. we ivould ever g?t along without thern. Such a condition exists at the present moment. If it were not for the Atlantic cable flashing intelligence under the seas at so much per flash we would never know from day to day what John D. Rockefeller, now rusticating In France, had for breakfast the day before. Of course the world could get along without knowing. So could we get along without suspenders, but we would feel all of the tune as though something were lacking. Silvery Lininjs. There's no use in crying1.
