Rambling Notes of a Fifteen  Hundred
Mile Railroad Ride.
The writer having: just returned from
a trip covering a considerable distance
and extending through*some quite interesting territory, will attempt to
give the Observer readers a brief
write-up of the trip, not because we expect to make it of any grsat interest to
the reader, but because it will help
"fill up" and that's what the editor-
asked us to do in his absence.
Our route was a. rather circuitous
one. From Toledo we crossed Ohio in
a southeasterly direction, entering
Pennsylvania at a point jrest of Pittsburgh, then through central and southern part of that state to Philadelphia,
across New Jersey to New York City,
up Long Island Sound by steamer to
New Haven on to Bristol, back to New
York and across the state in a northwesterly direction, touching Lake Ontario at Oswego, thence west along the
lake shore to the Canadian line, across
Canada to Detroit and home.
Though the object of our trip was
purely a matter of business, yet we
took our eyes along and saw much that
to us was interesting. Soon after leaving Toledo we found out-selves in the
Ohio oil and natural gas fields. We
found upon inquiry that the supply of
gas is not inexhaustable as was at one
time supposed, but is evidently doomed
to become a thing of the past in some
sections at no very distant day.
At Shrieve we saw the blackened
ruins of the ill fated train which was
wrecked by a collision with a freight,
and thirteen human lives sacrificed.
The wreck almost immediately caught
fire and the bodies of many of the
victims together with seven cars were
cremated.
Crops we saw in Ohio look even p.o,fiver than here.   Apple§ til^os,}. ft. failure.
Pittsbt^-gfo c| .3 .at appear to be the
smoky, black city we had heard it was.
Natural gas is used largely and we are
told has made the city a much cleaner
one than it was when soft ep$l was the
principal f«e.. Continuing on through
Pennsylvania tha next point to interest
us was Johnstown, where a stop was
made and we were given an excellent
opportunity to view the once ill fated
town. Though again largely built up,
yet the devastation of that terrible
flood is still apparent. Here and
there may be seen some small portion
of the foundation of what was once some
home or factory. The noted stone
bridge still stands as firm as ever, ;uid
as wo crossed it we could sij\\] sum some
of the wreckage in tho river bed. The
town lies in a narrow valley between
tbe mountnius and it is plain to see
that had it- doomed people had but a
few moments time they could easUy
have reached a place pf safety f.n the
mountain sides. Shaping j\Uoupa we
rouutlpft tfia fiivnutis horseshoe curve
where the railroad makes itsscrpentine
twists and turues among the mountains.
Coal mine shafts and coak ovens were
seen on every hand and seemed to be
in a full state of activity. We saw very
little farming laud iu Pennsylvania we
would care to own, though of course
there is some good laud back from the
mountains.
After leaving Philadelphia crossing
through Jersey, we foi^cj jflftny fine
farms and fruty legiijticl to be grown in
abundanp.: The farm buildings however pi'utsented an ancient appearance
as compared with these in this part of
old Michigan. On reaching New York
we foutid it the same great town ns or
yore,—there is but one Mew York aud
you'll find it vigbt there. Our brief
stop of two days gave us little opportunity of sight seeing. Ou every hand
elaboi'iito preparations were being made
for the great Columbian celebration
which occurs this week. We hardly-
heard the word cholera mentioned, and
are led to believe that the scare
was greater here in the West, than in
the East. To give a slight idea of the
business hustle of New Yorker shave, we
will mention the fact tbat our carload
of poultry was unloved, a\ midnight
and before fogr. Q-elfipl-. in the morning
every pou,pd w-;.s. sold and on its way
to the retail StoUs in the olfcy, and ours
was only one of eight carloads on the
market that morning.
After a two days' stop we resumed
our journoy and took the steamer up
Long Island Sound to New Haven. Here,
are located many very extensive factories among them the great Winchester rifle works. The city is modern in
appearance but lacks the hustle of our
western cities of similar size, guarding a train on the old New gflglaiid R.
R. we continued 9,115; tvip "to Bristol
where we made a day's stop. It would
make Washtenaw farmers "tired" to
farm as they do down In Connecticut.
The land stands largely upon edge—
piled up as the little boyexpressed it—
a square field was the exception and
all seemed to he cultivated in little
patches. The farm buildings were antiquated and everything indicated that
farming in that country was about one
hundred years behind the times.
Bristol is a city of about 8,000 inhabitants, scattered about the hills. The
streets are irregular and poorly kept
up, while not a sidewalk is to be found
exceptalong the business houses. Sand
is abundant and navigation about the
streets is none too pleasant. It factories are extensive, among them the
largest clock factory in the world, also
one of the most extensive incubator
factories, where are made the celebrated Monitor incubators, used and sold
at the poultry farm. We also visited
the fine poultry yards of Geo. Mitchell,
a breeder of national repute, and looked
over his magnificent Partridge, White
and Buff Cochins.
On our return trip up the Sound we
witnessed a novel and exciting race between two steamers. For several years
the "Puritan" has been acknowledged
the swiftest boat ou the Sound. This
season a new twin-screw steamer, the
"Richard Peck," was built, the one
great object in her construction being
speed. For some time the two boats
had been waiting for an opportunity to
settle which was the swiftest and the
night of October 4th was chosen. As
we boarded the Peck we noticed unusual excitement and learned the cause.
The officers of the company, designer
and builders of the boat, reporters of
the New York papers and others interested were aboard. The race began
at Newport, where the Puritan left her
wliarf. As the two floating palaces,for
such they are, came abreast, the throttles of the ponderous engines were
opened and away they sped. For nearly two hours it was neek and neck
though our boat fairly trembled from
the rapid Strokes of the engine in its
efforts to get the lead. Finally we began to gain and soon had the Puritan
in the rear, the Peck being fully a half
mile ahead, with banners flying, as
Brooklyn hv^g©, the end of the race,
was reached. The time made was the
fastest ever made on the Sound, according to the New York Sun, which devoted over a column of space to the
event.
On our return trip from New York
we selected a route up through the
Catskills, where on the night of the Oth
we encountered quite a snow storm.
On reaching Lake Ontario !»»& passing
through the famouafyul-Counties bordering on its griWih shore, we found apples p,\£_ .*• Evaporators were running* aud thousands of barrels wero
piled up along the track. These counties looked more like Waah .M>aw* to us
than any we had U'rv. s-sod. Through
Canada we foiirxA wops looking well and
apples .aG g'Hipes plenty.
0H the whole we saw considerable
country, but none that suited us better
than old Washtenaw.
The Bible and Science.
The Century magazine will take up
the Bible and Science controversy. In
tho November Century,Professor Chas.
W. Shields, of Princeton, answers the
question "Does the Bible can taiu Scientific Errors.' witli \%\\ biapbatic no. He
says: "Litgravy and textual obscurities
thpr.o nitty be upon the surface of Holy
Writ, like spots upon the sun, or
rather like motes in the eye; but scientific error in its divine purport would
be the sun itself extinguished at noon.
Such a Bible could not live in this
epoch,"
Professor Shields' article will bo fol-
owed by one in the December Oeu tory
on "The Effect of Scientific Study upon
Religious Beliefs."

Renaissance ia Pockets.
"The proof of the pudding is in the
eating, not the pudding-bag string."
A woman who has sympathetically
watched the progress of the "woman's
rights" movement declares that the
hope which is supposed to spring
eternal in the breast of womankind, as
well as of mankind, has received its
death blow so far as she is concerned.
It looked for a while as if women were
growing more, not less independent.
Alas!
. They have learned to tie their own
purse-strings; but tbey have taken all
of a sudden to turning their purses
over bodily to maculine guardianship. Pockets are at the bottom of it.
That is to say, purses for safe keeping
must'be at the bottom of pockets.
Women have none. Men have. And
there you are—there the pocketbooks
are, at least. And there, says the
young man of the period who does escort duty—meaning in his pocket, or,
ratfter, pockets—al- Belinda's keys
and her veil; her gloves, if she has-ac-
casion to take them off; her handkerchief, if it is a blow and not a show
one; very likely her card case, ad infinitum, and to the point of spoiling
the set of his coat.
His tailor's bills for pressing threaten
to eat up the profits of the ice cream
purveyors, but still Belinda does not
heed.
What's to be done? The summer
schools have their campaigns mapped
out, else this problem, which is truly
as dark as a pocket, might be referred
to one of these tribunals. It's a deep
question and Belinda's pockets, if she
has any of any sort, are shallow. Is
invention in the matter of pockets' on a
perpetual vacation? At present Belinda must make a burden bearer of
her adorer or even mild admirer, or
else carry her wallet as she carries her
watch, exposed to view to tempt
snatch thieves and risk eternal separation.
Bell skirts are in. But pockets, no.
They aren't compatible with clinging
Xietticoats.   And so	
Stay.
What is the objection to the quaint
little pouch pockets swinging from the
girdle which went with our grandmothers frocks? Their double gathering strings made them practically
safe, and they are decorative addenda
of pretty frocks. Let's have a renaissance of these chatelaine pockets, and
see if woman's tottering independence
cannot be restored to its vantage
ground.—Boston Globe.
"Writers of Famous Hymns.
It seems a singular fact that apparently nothing in a literary way will
relegate a writer to oblivion so surely
as to be the author of a world-f amous
hymn. *
Take a few instances.
Nearlv every one has heard or sung
the line" of "Shall We Gather at the
River?" and yet how many knnow
even the name of the author, much
less the fact that he is living?
The writer is the Rev. Rehert Lowry,
D. D., a resident of Plainlield. N. J.
In Richmond, HI., lives Dr. S. Fillmore Bennett. To how many is that
name familiar, yet to whom is his familiar church song, "The Sweet By and
By," not known?
In the interior of New York State
lives Mrs. Annie Sherwood Hawks.who
wrote those famed lines of "I Need
Thee Every Hour."
Hardly known and never recognized
on the streets of New York as she
walks out is Faunie Crosby, the author
of countless hymns, among them the
famous one, "Safe in the Arms of
Jesus."
It is odd that the veil of obscurity
should seem to be the inevitable reward of those whose pens have given
us the hymns which have brought consolation and joy to so many thousands.
—Boston Globe.
She Must Have Two Ancestors.
Among the women in and about
Boston who know who their greatgrandfathers are, is o*ne whose ancestors played prominent but widely different  parts in the battle of Concord.
One was appointed to lead the yeomen, the other was one of the yeomen
to be led.
When the cry of b'attle sounded the
leader, the man to whom the troops
looked for direction, deserted them.
At the last moment his fear overcame
him aud he fled.
She other ancestor seeing that the
troops were without a commander,
rushed from out the ranks and shouting: "For God's sake, fire!" made himself the leader the men needed.
From the time this woman was a
little girl in short dresses she had repeatedly heard this story, and had
been proud of the brave man and oh!
so ashamed of the coward. As she
grew into womanhood she found in
her nature parts of both ancestors.
"Let me tell you how I often feel,"
she would say. For instance, when T
go to a party I am happy in anticipation until I get to the drawing-room
door and catch a glimpse of the guests
within and the hostess standing stiff
and prim'to receive me.
"There comes over me - a terrible
fear and.the runaway ancestor in me
says: 'Take to your heels, Annie, you
can never face these people.' I'm on
the point of obeying this impulse when
•For God's sake, fire!' takes full possession of me. With a bound I attack
my hostess aud the battle's won."

The empress of Germany has requested tho minister of public instruction to prevent the admission to the
art museums of Berlin of young girls,
unless tinder the guidance of teachers
or parents.
