What the Rich Man's Religion Costs Him Annnally. | Royal, Rich, KRed Blood' In this coantry we are all kings, and we are all entitled to have as ood blood as that which courses through the veins of emperors. < There are princes and million~ aires languishing in fecbleness and broken-down bodily health who would be glad to have the strength of the humblest laboring man, And there are many people who are mneither kings, emperors, nor millionaires, whose blood is thin, v.hose circulation is poor, who are suffering from lassitude and debility, and who know not the pleasure of a hearty meal, nor the enjoyment of being able to do a good day’s work. If such people will put some iron into their blood, they will vitalize and enrich it. They can do this by the use of Brown's Iron Ritters, the purest and most excellent iron med- icine ever made. Thousands who were weak, languid, pale, and pros- » tated, are now happy to say that Brown'’s Iron Bitters brought them up and gave them new life. Many Dollars Pluckea from Plethore Purses to Sustain Bis Ohurch the ~Generosity of Millior aire, New York Journal. There is fashion in religion as in all else. Its devotees ride up in splendid equipages to the doors of churches whose pointed arches, long-drawn aisles and fretted vaults have cost hundreds of thourands of dollars, With grace they tread the costly, carpets toward the pews. They are often compelled, hewever, to diaw largely upon their plethoric pocket- books. The joyous anthem that the choir raises comes from throats trained in the most expensive mi schools. The words that snftly fall from the pastor's lips are veritably golden, if one remem- bers the salary he probably receives, The stained-glass windows through which I struggles a dimreligious light are all price- less works of the painter’s art.

Many native tra- ditions show that they lived with the early human inhabitants, and were killed off by them. The songsof the Maort abound in allusions to the wonderful flowering plumage of the moa, and moa eggs have been found in ancient graves. Parts of the eggs are in the British museum, and are larger than the eggs of the ostrich, Some of the finest collections of the birds themselves have been brought to America, showing specimens of the dinornis nine feet in height and with limbs more powerful than those of an ox. It secms almost incredible that bird should exist large enough to prey upon the great moa, yet such was undoubtedly the case. A bird of prey—the harpago- nis—lived, that could easily have master- ed the largest moa. In later times the great rail, notorious, gigantic geese, strange-crested parrots, the king of pigeons, the dodo, and the curious soli- taire have passed away and become a part of the strange and wondrous history of the rock. Ancestors of the Osttich Which Make it Appear a Pigmy —Z00- 1ogical Curiositios. *“Thare is an interesting slab,” said a geologist to a New York Sun reporter, holding up an ancient and weather worn slab.” ~ “‘It's a fac simile of a cast in the Britism museum, that bears the remains of the oldest bird known. It had a reg- ular lizard tail. This specimen was found in the Bavarian quarries at Solonhofen, where 80 much valuable lithographic slate is found, Some laborers, came upon an impression in the slate which so closely resombled a feather that it was carefully worked out and prosentend by the owner of the quarry to a local scientist, who, in turn, presented it to Prof. Herman von Meyer, and thus the first trace of the earliost bird was discovered, the natural- ist giving it the name of the archicop- teryx, This first find was a porfect foather that perhaps had been dropped by some bird ages ago, and gradually covered up and preserved. Not long after, in the same locality, a lot of foathers were exposed, and in working them out nearly the entire body of the wonderful bird was exhumed. ““The archiopteryx, judging from this specimen, was abont the size of a crow, and the first thing that attracted the find: er's attention was the remarkable tail, 1f {ou can immagine the pope’s nose of the ird or a turkey, stretched out so_that it is longer than the bird itself, and make up of twenty movable bones or vertebri, | each supporting a_pair of feathers, one upon each side, a_fair conception of this strange tail may be had, A further ex- amination showed that the fore limb had two toes or fingers free of the linb, each armed with a powerful claw,while a third was greatly elongated and supported the feathered wing. “The hend of the archiopteryx was not found, but _from later discoveries of other early birds it is presumed that the reptile-like upimnmncs ‘was increased by having veritable teoth in its jaws® In flying the curious tail must have been an impediment rather than a help. In the days of the archuopteryx the conditions of life were somewhat different from those of the present time. In America the Rocky mountain chain had not ap- peared, and from Kans2s a vast inland sea tretched away over the prairios, all that part of the country being beneath a body of water that undoubtedly was con- nected with the occans on both _sides of the present continent.

The Thb bleak and uninviting interior of a street car, with the thermometer twenty degrees below freezing point, was the scene of a proposal of marriage last even- ing. The hour was half past nine; the car one of the amber-hued chariots of the Thirteenth and Fifteenth Street line,and the interested partics a trim-built, pretty girl of about 19 summers, with dark eyes and rosy cheeks, and a young man of two or three and twenty, arrayed in a double-breasted overcoat with a sealskin collar, & Fedora hat and a large diamond scarfpin that, if the young man was not a hotel clerk, was probably paste. To the most casual observer these cooers ware, evidently, what is known in the language of love as “‘spoons,” and the eyes of both fairly beamed with aftec- tionate glances of tho first water. They were enscouced in' one of the cornors far- thest from the back platform, and oppo- sito to them sat the only other occupant ot the car, a humble reporter, who dozed a doze as the car sped along past the glimmering street lamps and rattled across the tracks of intersecting railways. It was bound north.

You may, perhaps, fancy a gang of noisy Irishmen in turbu. lent toil, a few rude shanties around, much whisky in the air, and the ground strewn with" tin cans and empty botiles. The picture would hold good of any track- Inying scene in the far west, but not in Mexico. Here the labor is all Mexican, that is to say, pure Indian with slight ox- ceptions. The only white men are the master tracklayer, the locomotive engi- neer and the fireman, the oivil engineer who _is setting the stakes to guide the surfacing gang and the cook. The fore- men of the tracklaying gangs are Mexi- cans. All appears to be confusion, and the spectator wonders why the men lug- ging all sorts of material and engeged 11 all gorts of work do not tumble over cach other. But really the strictest order pre- vails. One gang carrios the cross-ties forward and arranges them; boys run ahead and dron the spikes, fish-plates or angle-irons, bolts, and nuts, just in the spot where they are wanted; another gang loade the rails on to little flat cars, which are pushed forward over the brand new irack as fast as it is laid, where the rails are carried forward by other men detailed for the purpose. The rails are laid on tho cross-ties in their proper position, those on the right following a chalk line marked on the ties by a string, while on the left they are placed at the exact dist- ance from the oppposite line by means of a gauging stick. The levelers come di- rectly behind the track-laying gang. The rails are raised to exactly the required level by means of jackscrews, and the gravel or ballast is scraped and shoveled in under the cross ties to keep them in place. The track is then ready for the cars. But a ballast train follows immedi- ately along behind, filling in between the ties with the needed ballast, and within fifteen days at least the trac« is in perfect order for regular operation. THe thorough construction of the Mexican Central is shown in its ballasting. In- stead of laying the track on the bare grading and then filling in with ballast afterward, the line is thoroughly ballasted at the time the grading is done, giving the best kind of a road-bed. The ballast proportion of it being of broken rock, like that on the Pennsylvania railway, while the rest is of tbpatate of various degroes of harduess.
