Btriy Railroad Filer When the first passenger railroad ever built was opened In E.gland la 1825 the train traveled from one end of the line to the other, a distance of twelve miles, in two hours. And Wood, one of the best known writers on the subject of railroads at that day, wrote as follows: "Nothing can do more harm to the adoption of railways than the promul gation of such nonsense as that we shall see locomotives traveling at the rate of twelve miles an hour." Today, with locomotives traveling at the rate of seventy-five miles an hour, one can look at Wood's warning with 0 feeling of amusement. In 1820 l locomotive was Introduced In this coun try, and in the following year 1'cter Cooper experimented with a locomotive on the B. and O. railroad. The flues of the boiler were made from gun bar rels. The boiler was about the size of A flour barrel. Cooper related with considerable satisfaction bow on the trial trip of this engine he passed a gray horse attached to a wagon. New York World. , Big Poker Stakes. Many stories of big poker games among the western cattlemen in the early days have been told, but this story of the game with probably the greatest stakes is really true. Two well known cattlemen of southwestern Kansas, one of whom is now a promi nent business man in Kansas City, started to move tbeir herds to the pastures of Wyoming. Each herd con- tained moro than a thousand bead of cattle. When they came to the cross lng of the Arkansas liver near Coo- lidge they found a flood on. They were unable to cross for two or three days. To while away the time the two men engaged In a poker game. When the flood finally subsided so that the cattle could proceed one of the cattlemen said to his son, who was helping to drive, "Just turn my herd over to our neighbor and we will go back home.' lie had bet and lost not only all the money be bad, but all of the herd of cattle. Kansas City Journal. Moving Troops by Rail. "Let us suppose it became necessary to send the entire national guard of New York out of the stale, bow long would it take the railroads to handle them?" was asked a railroad oQlclal in New York. "Twenty-four hours, easy," was the instant repljr. "This is under war conditions, remember, whlr'j means that everything gives way to the movement of troops and their equip ment The railroads of America can handle men and war material of all kinds, including everything from horses and men to cannon and rations, much faster tbnn they can be assem bled and delivered to us. In fact, un der war conditions the railroads are prepared to do their part quicker and better, with more certainty and better speed, than any other part of the ma chinery, commercial or military, in America." Railroad Man's Magazine. Black Fridays. In England the term Black Friday was first applied to Dec. 6, 1743, the day on which news reached London that the pretender, Charles Edward, had reached Derby. Again on May 11, 1SG0, when the failure of a large Eng lish discounting Institution brought on a most disastrous panic, the day was called Black Friday. On the dny of the suspension the Bank of England raised the rate of discount 0 per cent Wild speculation In gold In New York and other cities culminated In a mone tary crash on Sept 10, 1S75. that swept thousands of firms and individuals Into financial ruin and caused a commercial depression that extended Into the eight ies of the last -century; hence the origin of the term Black Friday in the United States. i To Make Red Ink.

The great baseball player's wife had never seen a game, but he finally per suaded her to view one in which be was to piny. He was doing his best of course. One strike had been called on him, and, ns usual 'in basebull anecdotes, two men were out and the bases were full Our hero was gathering his strength for the swat he was going to give the ball. And the ball came. lie knew it was his as the ball started, and with a mighty crock he lifted it into space. Dropping his bat, he sped for first and ere the roar of applause burst out a slight woman in the grand stand rose and called: 'Will, come back here and put that bat where it belongs!" Buffalo Ex press. Killing Ethel, She was fashionably dressed and gave out tho perfume of violets as the brakemnn turned to help her up the steps of the train which was due to leave.

China aa a Bluffer. rrofessor Ian C Hannah in his look, "Eastern Asia A History," says that taxlcabs, or, rather, automatic registers attached to horse cabs, were invented about G30 A. D., during the Tang dynnstry in China. In his opln .on the Chinese empire is "the great iet bluff in the world," and It sug gests to him a very ancient Chinese ruble, which he relates. A monkey was captured by a tiger. (Ie whined that he was thin and bis fesh of poor taste, but he knew of a One fat donkey for tho tiger. Tho ti ger consented to be led to where the Jonkey was tied. When tho donkey saw them coming he was frightened, but recovered his composure and bawl sd in his masterful donkey voice: "Monkey, you used to bring me two tigers. Why only one today?" The tiger did a record hustlo back to tho Jungle. China, says Professor Hannah, has ihown much of that donkey's resource fulness In Its history. Two Woman. In her book "Woman and Labor" Olive Schreliier gives an amusing Illus tratlon of the fact that It Is not the amount of money a person has which makes him or her a parasite on soel ety, but the way It is used. "The wife of an American million' aire," says Mrs. Schrolner, "was visit ed by a woman, the daughter and wld- ow of a small professional man. She stated that she was In need of both food f.nd clothing. The millionaire's wife gave her a leg of mutton and two valuable dresses. The woman pro ceeded to whine, though In vigorous health, that she had no one to carry them home for her. The American, the descendant of generations of able, laboring, New England Puritan worn. en, tucked the leg of mutton under one arm and the bundle of clothes un der the other and walked off down the city street toward, the woman's dwelling, follbwed by the astonished pauper parasite." The Six of Soma Stars. M. Nordmnnn of the Purls observS' tory believes that he has devised a successful method of determining the diameters of stars by a comparison of their effective temperatures with their parallaxes. In the case of some of the brightest stars he has reached Interesting results. Thus he finds that Aldebnrnn, the bright star in Taurus, is veritably a giant sun, the ratio of Its diameter to that of our sun being greater than thnt of the sun to he planet Jupiter. This means that AKle- bnran has a diameter probably not less than 8.000.000 miles, or more thun thirty tlmog the distance from the earth to the moon. On tho other hand. Sirlus, or the dog star, to our eyes the brightest of nil the stnrs, is, accord' lng to M. Nordmnnn, but little larger than our buii. Juggernaut Juggernaut or "lord of the world" was supposed to be one of the In carnations of Krishna. The idol is formed of an irregular pyramidal black stone, with two large diamonds to rep resent eyes. The nose and mouth are painted, vermilion. An immense num' ber of pilgrims visit the Idol annually, reaching up into the millions. Jugger naut worship used to be a terrible thing, but it Is not what it once was. The state allowance to the temple was suspended by the Indian government in 1851, and the festivals are growing less and less popular year by year. The growing Intelligence of the people and the restraining Influence of the government are doing their work, and Juggernaut is steadily losing ground. New York American. Taa Tramena. "I used to be a tea taster In Han- kow.v sold a New York tea dealer, "but I got a bad attack of tea tremens and bad to give up the Job. Tea tremens is a recognized disease among Chinese tea tasters. These men don't swallow a drop of tea from one week's end to another. They simply' hold the ten in the mouth, get an idea of its aroma and then eject It but neverthe less the aroma of the tea causes vio lent nervous attacks, with sleepless ness and even hallucinations that are known all over China as tea tremens. I have never had delirium tremens, but If It's one-half as bad as the tea sort I pity the poor victim." When a Soft Drink la Hard. "You are arrested on a very serious charge, my good man," began the court looking at the man severely. "You are accused of getting into a fight and hitting tho complainant over the head with a bottle. What have you to say for yourself?" "Your honor, I didn't mean to hurt lilm. I never thought that it would hurt him very much, 'cause the bot tle contained nothing but a soft drink," returned the prisoner. Milwaukee Free Press. Tha Timid One.

When the liver Is secretins an excess of bile It Is a certain Indlmtlon that the ni hil men In the dietary Is beyond the body's requirements nnd should be lessened.
