Borne railway bailding was done last year in the conntries bordering onr own on the qorth and aontb. Onr records show 232 miles of track laid in Canada on ton linos, anl 161 miles in Mexico on seven lines, ani final re¬ turns will probably increaae this some¬ what ; while there is prospect of a con¬ siderably gieatet addition daring the piresent year.
Horatio Hale, who died recently in Canada, is tho anthor of a paper pnb- lished in Appletona* Popular Science Montbly ooDCorning Indian Wampam Beeorda; and it is claimed that the nse of wampam as money and the record¬ ing of events by means of palterns traced on wampum belts are evidences of bigh intelligence on tbe patt af tbe red nuin in times goue by.
The one hnndred aud twenty-seven savings banks in New York Stato re¬ port an inorease of resonrces of nearly thirty million dollars daring tbe last year, while deposits excce.l wilh- drawals by nearly a million dollars. The New York Herald thinka the "con¬ dition of these institations ia a good indication of the oondition of the peo- pie, and optimists will find enooarage- ment in tho report jost issued."
Professor Mnnk of the University ot Berlin, famous ior his discoveries in ihe physiology of the Drain, saya it ie B great mistake to sappose that gym- nasUs exereises sandwiched in between aohool hours rest the pnpils. On the contrary, he aays, thoy still more fatigaa the brain, whioh ought to have abaolnte rest If both stadius and gymnastics aro to bo indulged in on the same day, he saya, tbey should be separated by intervals of rest.
Farm, Field and Fireside believe; "it wonld be well for every State tu aet its convicts to work in making good roads. Tbis would reiuovo tbeir competition with otber labor sad oth¬ er manufacturers, aoJ, of even moro importance, it wonld result in per¬ manent improvement ot the ro.ids. No oloss of people are so mncb inter- ested in tbia result as are Ibo farmers. To tbem it means money saved, money earned and added comfort to tbeir families with all the oivilizing infln- eneea wbioh come from ease in meet¬ ing together socially at all periods, all seaaons and mall kinds of woither; ease and oomfort in resehing Ibe scboul bouse and the cburch. In faot, tbe blessings of good roads aro simply the blessings of a bigher oivilizatiou."

IRMA'S BETROTUAL.
N one of the turret- rooms of Beitten- berg Castle a ronng girl, arrayed in K simple dress and white aproui kat sewing iudtls- trioUaly, At the Sonnd of footsteps hhe pansed iu her work; at the sight of a hussar OSieer in nniform she red¬ dened with vexation. Yot there was nothing in Albrecbt vou Beitzenberg's appearance to annoy ber ; on tbe eon- trary, ho was yonng, very good-look¬ ing, tall, and ot dignified bearing.
"Willyou allow me to come in?" be asked, standing on the tbresbhold.
Tho girl took np her WQrk SRain. "Yoa cab come in if you wish?" ehe Boid, indifferently.
Ho walked across thc room, t have a proposal to make to yon, Baroness Irma. Will yon givo me your atten¬ tion for a littlo while?"
Sbe looked at bim indignantly; she bad a sweot oval faoo and deep gray eyes.
"1 pr.-ircr not to listen to you, Coniit Albreolit."
"I thought thai JroO would ssy so I" (there was eoinething liko a ring ol triumph in bis voice), "but indeed my proposal is very harmless. Let us come to an understanding."
There wna uncertainty, distrust, in her oyes.
"Yes," continued the yoang officer, "I know tbat yoa have evory reason to be ofTeuded. You have beon most un¬ fairly treated."
"I bavn been invited to this bouse under fnlso pretences. I oame because I thonght that tbe visit wonld give pleaauro to Fraa von Wolde, who fills, or ia lupposcd to fill, Ibo plaoe of my mother. I am sorry to speak disre¬ spectfully of yonr cousin, but"	
"Not lit all. Yoa aro perfectly right, and my relative Fran Von Wolde is ia the plot, aod has beeo from Iho bef^inning. 1 know all abont it now. My old ancle hss jost en¬ lightened me. I as the heir of Beit- Eonberg Castle—yon will excuse my mentiuuing my namo lirst?—have re¬ ceived orders to offer my han.l and my debts, in marriage, to the Bar¬ oness Irma vou Bocbow, who, ou Rt- Isining her majority, will beoome pos¬ sessed of eo largo a fortaoe that she could froo Ibe Iteitzenberg eatate with a stroke ol her pon. Nay. hear me ont; thil In'ly was tc havo been kept in ig'aorauco ol tho plan, bnt tbat hor friend andcbaporono could nol resist tbe temptation of giving her a hint as lo bow matterH atand, aflcr sho had become tbe giie^t of tho castle, la this to?"
"Yea," She stooj by his aide now, nnd tho cnnligbt jast loncbed theooila of beraulinru bnir. "I have been de¬ ceived, ciuelly dcci'ivol."
"I'ndcr tbecircnmstsDCes, nothing remains for mo but to gire you thc opportunity of expressing yonr opin¬ ion S5 to tbis tyrimnons family com¬ pact even more decidedly than yon havo dur.e nlreailr. Baroness Irma of llncbow, nill you consent fo givo mo yonr b»ud in mrrriase?"
"Connt Albreoit of lleilzenberfr. 1 thauli you (or tbo honor whioli yon have nbown me.     I '.vill not."
Thoy ytoo I fi'.oini} eacb other, nn.l n« Iriim looked at her alr:ingo wooer fho (.,»» a fn'.nl amile in bia eyes. Her owu auso." was lieRiuninft to cvnporate ; ho really vol bobaviuR well, e.insider- in.; Ibit tlie lleitronlierRS wero ro- uowne.l for their liasty teinpers.
"Vou n.lmil," fbo aai.I, after a pause, "tbat 1 bava been awkirerdly place.!."
"I odir.it tllll yon bnve b.-en iiiboi;- pitalily, nlio'iiinabl.'- Irenti'.l! I blnsh to thiiik tbat a member of oar family coul.l bave droame.! of ruoIi a scheme. !
visit, Irma came into tho drawii'g room to find tho wholo party awaiting her arrival, and in an instant she per¬ ceived tbat (omething was wrong. Fran von Wolde had beeu ehedding tears, tbe old Count's brow was cloud ed with anger, and Albrecbt!—Irma hardly dared to look at him, changed was his aspect. It was loo clear that thc termination of tbe pleasant companionship of th( lo&t few weeks was to be war.
"My dear Baroness Irma," said tbo Count, advancing to meet bia young guest witb ceremonious politeneai., "I am exceedingly pleased to sea you. Yoar visit here has given me great satisfaotioo. You honored Ihis bouse with your presence, with tbe full cou- sent of yonr guardian and my esteemed cousin, Frau von WoMe. I ha 1 hoped, not witboat grounds, that the friend¬ ship between yon and my heir was gradually ripening into a deeper and more lasting feeling. The alliance is one wbich muat give satisfaction to all interested iu our families. Imagine my distress on hearing to-day from my nephew that you have refased his proposal of marriage."
Irma looked towardCount Albrecbt; something tbat she read ia his wrath- fnl mien made her hesitate as sbe an- hwered; "It is quite trno; we are friends, and nothing more."
"It cannot be, my dear young lady, ihat so young a maiden should have given away her preference without the consent or knowledge of her guardian? Answer me candidly: are yonr affections already engaged f .
The oolor surged into Irma'a obeeks and left them pale again. She glanced at Fran von Wolde. There was no help for hor there. "This is a ques¬ tion wbich yon have no right to ask. Count Beitzenberg, and which I refuse to answer. I muat beg you to ex- cnse me,"
The Barooeas Buchow is right I" bnrat in Albrecbt. "She has sufferud enongh at our hands already. She shall not be thwarted in ber will. If abe honors me with her friendship, I aeoept it gratefully. Liaten to me, my uncle, I refuaed to be a party to your scheme."
Ho rose and held the door wide open, There was no amile on his face now; bia eyes wore full of trouble as they reated on hers. He did not ofler to take ber band in farewell. Ho stood there in mute distress as she passed by —a fair, girlish flgure in her white dress, her laces snd bjue ribbons—and she passed bim withont a word, Tbo truce between them was over.
The forest spread its wido wings even aa far as the Castle garden. Irma loved Ihe green path aud qniot shades, aod here she eame witb ber book the morning after ber interview with tbo Count, and pretended to read. But, though sbe kept ber eyes on tbe pages, sbe read there only Count Albreoht's parting words—he accepted her offer of friendship gratefully t Driven to bay, ae it were, in order to save ber, that was what be had said. During tbe last three months she hsd come to nnderstand something of his upright¬ ness, his high sense of honor. He would never marry a woman—thongb she were a prtnoess—to wbom he could not give bis love.
"It was my fortune," sighed Irma, "that made him uearly bate me at first."    Did he hate her now?
Hhe shut np her book and wandered still farther into the wood, down a hillside covered with fern and moss, toward the slream that ran between high rooks, chattering and foaming on it! way. On tbo farther side ol the stream was a tract of open couutry, dotted with olumps of trees and un¬ derwood and bright witb heather. The stepping-stones were balf oovered with water to-day; the current was running fiercer than its wont. Sho belhongbt herself of a rustic |bridge a few yards further down.
Tbe bridge bung high iu tbo air, i-np- ported by rongh pine stems; it wasa picturosque bata fragile affair. Half way across Irma put her hand on tho rail—bow noisy tbo stream woal—it tdaped off at her tough, one wooden plank tottered nnder her feet, another fell with a aplosb into the water bo¬ low. She had plenty of courage; sbe was light and active. Sho kuew, moreover, that she eonld easily leap that furmidablelooking gap and gain the bank. She was about to make tho attempt, wheu she was stopped by a peremptory shout:
"Oontly, gently I Jnmp from that projecting stem ; it is rafc I"
She looked up ; ou tbe edge of tbo beathor-covered rock stood Albrecbt Iteitzenberi;
Sho pause-v uncertuiD, half inclined to retrace her steps. Perceiving ber hesitation, bo raised his voice and shouted ktill louder above tbo clamor of the rushing water :
"Cnu you hear me. Baroness Irma? "
She nodded a-ifent.
"-¦ilep there—to the left. Do not !ook back 1°'
Involuntarily she obeyed. Ho bold cut his arms, tbe gnlf yawned betweeu thom, ho coul.l be ol uobelp.
"fbo stem will 'uear rour w«igbt. I>o not be in too great a hurrv."
("Why does he look so grave?" thought"Irma; "ia ho still sugry? ')
"I hal lietter return tbo way I ctmc, Connt Albrecbt, Do not trouble un niT accoiint."
"No;doBa I d.reel you. Yo'u fos wbich it tbe li'.st place to Klanl? Prop your biKik, it migbt bo iu your way, and jump as fnr ns yoa cau. Now !"

WOMEN THADE DEfUJIERS.
Thero oro no less thnn 15!^ womeu commercial trovele^s iu England. Said an English nutbority on tho subject ot commercial traveling: "1 remember haviug two women call tu seo mo, and I could not but admire tho way in whiob oao of thera wont about tho busiuess. Bho was a widow. She was eloquent, persunsivo and showed grent tnct."
It appcors that womon travelers do not cunHuc themselves to things in which womon nro cbiolly interested. They ovoid theso particular branches of trade, and go in for sometbiog iporo substnutlnl. One woman, for insianco, travels in corrugated iron and iron bolts. Another trovols for locomo¬ tives. Only a few toko up embroid¬ eries and silks, pickles and jams and similar commodities. Male oo'ji- meroiols regard tho innovation nt present ns n joke, especially whon o woman invades tho commercial room of 0 hotel. But tho opinion of ou ox- pert goes to show that iu this profes¬ sion women cnu succeed whero men have failed.
