The corre sponding increase during the previous year was 3,160.78, from which it ap pears that there was some revival in railway construction during the year covered by the report. The number of roads abandoned during the year was 19. The total length of line, including all tracks, was 230,137.27, which in cludes 10,051.36 miles of second track and 42,043.40 miles of yard tracks and sidings.

Tho aggregate property properly clas sified as railway capital was on June 30, 1893, $10,506,235,410, which shows railway capital equal to $63,421 per milo of line. The amount of stock out standing was $4,668,935,418, of which $3,982,0C'J, 602 was common stock, the remainder, $686,925,816, being pre ferred stock. The funded debt outstand ing was $5,225,689,821, classified as follows: Mortgage bonds, $4,504,883,- 162; miscellaneous obligations, $410,- 474,617; income bonds, $248,132,730, and equipment trust obligations, $62,- 699,282. The amount of investment in the railway securities has increased during the year from $1,391,457,053 to $1,563,022,283, being ai: increase of $171,565,180. The amonnt of stock paying no divi dends during tho year was $2,859,334,- 572, being 61.24 per cent of the total stock outstanding. Tho total of dividends paid was $100,- 929,885. Tho amount of mortgage bonds paying no interest was $492,276,999, or 10.93 per cent of tho total of mort gage bonds, and the amount of income bonds paying no interest was $204,861, - 269, or 82.56 per cent of the total of in come bonds. Tho total number of passengers car ried during the year ending June 30, 1893, was 593,560,612. The number of tons of freight report ed by the railways for tho year was 745,119,482. Ton mileage was 93,588,- 111,833. Tho gross earnings front operations on the railways of the United States for the year ending June 30, 1893, were$l,- 220, 751,874, being an increase of $49,- 344,531 over gross earnings reported in tho previous year. Operating expenses during the year were $827,921,299, be ing an increase of $46,923,303 over the previous year. The final net income available for dividends was $111,058,034, being a sum less than the corresponding amount! for tho previous year of $4,907,157.1 After deducting from this amount the dividends paid the income account of railways in the United States for the year 1893 shows a surplus of $8,116,- 745, which is less than the surplus of tho previous year by $5,919,311. Tho number of railway employees killed during the year was 2,727, being greater ’.y 173 than those killed during the previous year.

An assignment of casualties to the opportunity offered for accidents shows 1 employee to have been killed for every 320 men employed and 1 to have been injured for every 28 men employed. The most dangerous sirvice is that of trainmen, and for these the statistics show 1 employee to have been killed for every 115 trainmen and 1 employee to have been injured for every 10 engaged in this service. A similar comparison shows 1 passenger to have been killed for oach 1,985,153 passengers carried, or for each 47,588,- 966 passenger miles accomplished and 1 passenger injured for each 183,822 pas sengers carried, or for each 4,406,659 passenger miles accomplished.—Wash ington Correspondent.

How and Why They Are So Generally Used In China, Chinese lanterns are made of paper, silk, horn, crystal and many other ma terials. Those made of silk are usually richly embroidered with figures of ani mals, birds or flowers; those of horn are prettily decorated with paintings. Some of the most ornamental and expensive lanterns are mounted on beautifully carved frames of wood and ivory. If a Chinese leaves his homo after night without taking with him a lan tern, such as is assigned to the uso of the class to which he belongs, he is lia ble to arrest by tho police. As soon as it is dark every city seems ablaze with lanterns. They light up the homes of the rich and poor; they are attached to tho angles of the pagoda; they are seen at every port and on every river. In fact, they make their appear ance everywhere, and to call China the “land of lanterns” is by no means a misnomer. Umbrellas, too, are of muph impor tance in China, because there tho um brella isa mark of rank. Two large red siik umbrellas signal tho approach of the governor general of a province. A red silk umbrlla with three ruffles on it is tho kind assigned to tho four highest ranks of mandarin. The nobility of lower rank are entitled to an umbrella of red silk, but may have only two ruf fles. The two highest ranks of gentlemen commoners aro entitled to a red state umbrella surmounted by a knob of tin; the third and fourth ranks have the knob of wood instead of tin, but it is al ways painted red. An umbrella of blue cloth with two ruffles and surmounted by a red painted wooden knob distin guishes the fifth rank.—D. V. F. in New York Advertiser. Money Value of St. Louis. When Louis IX, the saint, surren dered with his whole forces to the Sar acens at Mansura, on the 5th of April, 1250, 1,000,000 golden bezants—equal to half that number of the livres of the day—were demanded for his freedom. But the Moslems came down to 800,000 bezants, and, in the end, by surrender ing Damietta, Louis got off for 100,000 marks—equal, roughly, to over £1,000,- 000 sterling of today. These golden bezants contained about 30 shillings’ worth of our gold, but to go to market with would buy then as much probably as 7 Jo sovereigns now would. Were the scorner allowed to break forth here, he would probably tell how this high priced and saintly carcass was treated by his people when Louis died, at the siege of Tunis, 20 years later. Being hard up for embalmers, they had (according to the journal of Aubery) to quarter and boil him down in separate caldrons, and so sent but his whited skeleton to France.—Saturday Review. Got His Diamond Back. A nice looking young fellow in even ing dress called on a certain physician a night or two ago with a peculiar wound in his face. The physician heard his explanation and then extracted a large diamond from under the ragged skin. This young man was engaged to a society girl. He was very much in love with her. Olio night, filled with moonlight and poetry, he slipped a dia mond ring on her finger. The lady a few days after gavo it to another, to whom she was engaged. The original donor of the ring saw it on liis rival’s finger. He felt badly. He said so. The fortunate young man resented this and proceeded to show it by knocking the original owner down. The stone staid with him. He is having it set for an other girl.—Washington Capital. A STRANGE INSCRIPTION. Following Directions. It was raining pretty hard when ths old man came into tho parlor. In fact, the rain was rattling on the tin roof of the porch so loudly that there could be no doubt about the weather. I “Er—how is the weather out?” asked the young man who was calling on the daughter of rhe house. He asked in trepidation, because he knew ho was not any too welcome. The old man looked at him for a mo ment and said, “Clear.” And the young man cleared.—Indian apolis Journal. For a Money Metal.

Ho says that counterfeiting would be almost impossible, as the only alloy which can be made successfully consists of 78 parts of gold to 22 of aluminium.

A Woman, on Behalf of Her Sex, Asks Some Unanswerable Questions. The little peculiarities of women are a fruitful topic with some masculine writers. They continually rush into print with such questions as: Why does a woman always want to know if her hat is on straight? Why docs she keep you waiting 10 minutes after she’s de clared she’s all ready? Why does she do this, that and the other? Here's a coun ter blast from a woman writer: Why does a man always have lengthened and often profane interviews with his collar button? It looks like an inoffensive sort of an article to an outsider. Why docs he rush through his dressing and throw everything all over the room because he’s in such a hurry—he “knows he’ll be late”—and then spend a good five inintes filling and lighting his pipe? Why does he never put together and fold up a newspaper? Why, w hen a pret ty girl praises another man’s “charming manners, ’ ’ does he say the girl is ‘‘soft?’ ’ Why does he declare that handsome and popular young actors are ‘ ‘sticks?’ ’ Why can he never, by any possibility, find anything he is sent to look for in closet or drawer? Why is his headache or toothache so much worse than anybody else’s ever was? Why is it always his liver that does not work instead of the welsh rabbit and mince pic that have worked? Why will he go out after a rain without overshoes and then preach about tho vanity of women? Why does it rain too hard to go to church, but not too hard to go to a dinner or theater or club on any succeeding stormy day? Why does he suppose, when he notes women’s “funny ways,’’that women are not at tho same time noticing his own tunny ways?—New York Journal. Why Does She Always Do It? “Did you ever notice a woman mail ing a letter?” asked a postman, who was talking to an acquaintance on the street car. “Well, I don’t care who she is, whether she’s your wife or mother, she’ll go up to the mailbox just as if it was an infernal machine, look all around, and drop that letter in as if she wouldn’t have anybody see her for the world. That’s why some man will al ways step up and offer to help her; he thinks she wants assistance. It’s the same if a woman hands a letter to a postman—she’ll act as if she hates to have it go out of her hands. ” “How do you account for it?” “1 don’t try to account for it It’s liko tho way most women pay their car fare—as if they were most surprised to death at having to pay it at all, and then hanging on to it till the conductor drags it away. 1 guess it may be for the reason that girls aren’t raised like boys to do things offhand in a business way. But it’s so anyway.”—Detroit Free Press. Hill's Famous Phrase. David B. Hill’s famous phrase, “I am a Democrat,” with which he began 3 famous campaign speech in Brooklyn some years ago, was suggested to him by a tipsy acquaintance named Chailie Fulton. Hill was walking liis floor at Albany, cudgeling his brains for an in troduction to liis coming speech. Be tween his hiccoughs Fulton exclaimed, “Dave, you go down to Brooklyn, raise your right arm and say, ‘I am a Demo crat.’” Tlie suggestion was adopted and proved to be a capital stroke.—Chi cago Tribune. Where She Failed» Maude—No wonder her essay didn’t taljg tho prize. She showed exccrablo taste in it, didn’t she? Amy—Dreadful! Why, she had it tied with blue ribbon, and that never matched her complexion!—Boston Trav eller. Tlic Victorious Pipe. LIGHTNINGLIKE BIRDS. Flights, Darts and Drops Wonderful In Their Accuracy and Swiftness. If we are to believe the enthusiastic advocates of smoking, tobacco will be as important in the next great war as mixlical attendance. In the Franoo-Oer- m.ui war it was the pijx) against the cig arette. The German's pipe is large enough to hold an ounce of tobacco; tho Frenchman’s cigarette is a nnra pinch, mid the French were often with out this small amount of nerve food and consolation. The German authorities •were not more anxious to give their troops plenty of food than they were to provide them with an ever full pipe. Tho Daily News correspondent related how a maimed soldier, lying amid the dead and dying before Metz, asked for but one relief—a cigar. General von Bentheim at a critical moment of a great fight saw one of his men coolly smoking and firing at close quarters. “Give me a light!” shouted the general. The soldier obeyed, with a quiet smile, and the next moment tho general, inspired by the courage of his sulwrdinate, gathered up his shaken battalion and led forward his half deci mated forces to vict< iry. Tim Daily Tele graph correspondent related that while the firing was going on at Saarabrucken a party of Brunswick hussars came gal loping into the fray smoking their ci gars, just m if tho French were 20 miles awa.—Newcastlc-upou-Tvne Chronicle. I have often wondered at the ease with which a great big hen liawk drops from on high, like a falling shot, hit ting so accurately its quarry on the ground, for at the moment of beginning its descent it closes its wings almost tight against its sides and goes as true as a plumb line. Before it reaches the ground its speed becomes so rapid that you hear the air fairly shriek through its feathers, and tho heavy thud of the blow at the last is of deadly suggestion. I have seen a full grown hare snatched up into tho air limp and dead after such a performance and borne away ¡ dangling in a grip of fate.
