Childish standards of greatness are Interesting—perhaps because they are at once so like yet so unlike the standards of grown folk. Many an adult, for instance, has been proud with no more reasonable basis than that which little Johnnie displayed in attempting to "top" the boasting of a juvenile comrade. "I've got a real railroad train, with an engine that goes, an' a real, live pony, an' a really, truly, gun, an—" "That's nothing!" interrupted the lad's disgusted listener.

A family in Minnesota that now en joys Postum would never have known how good it is if the mother had been discouraged by the failure of her first attempt to prepare it. Her son tells the story: "We had never used Postum till last spring when father brought home a package one evening just to try it. We had heard from our neighbors, and in fact every one who used it, how well they liked it. "Well, the next morning Mother brewed it about five minutes, just as she had been in the habit of doing with coffee without paying special at tention to the directions printed on the package. It looked weak and didn't have a very promising color, but nevertheless father raised his cup with an air of exceptancy. It certain ly did givo him a great surprise, but I'm afraid It wasn't a very pleasant one, for he put down his cup with a look of disgust. Mother wasn't discouraged though, and next morning gave it another trial, letting It stand on the Btove till boil ing began and then letting it boil for fifteen or twenty minutes, and this time we were all so pleased with it that we have used it ever since. "Father was a confirmed dyspeptic and a cup of coffee was to him like poi son. So he never drinks it any more, but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't troubled with dyspepsia now and is actually growing fat, and I'm sure Postum is the cause of it. All the chil dren are allowed to drink it and they are perfect pictures of health."

The latest phase of this approaching nearness is foretold in a geographical sense by Sir Edward Morris, premier of New foundland. His scheme is geographi cal because he proposes to cut off a whole day in transit between the two countries. The saving of a day, 24 hours of time, is the same thing as taking up the United Kingdom by its roots and planting it in the middle of the North Atlantic, at least a thousand miles nearer Canada and the United States. Sir Edward's proposition would be interesting merely as a theory, but the premier is in earnest about it. He proposes in brief to construct first a .railway from Quebec to a point on Cape Sir Charles across the Strait of Belle Isle at its narrowest part oppo site Newfoundland. This railway will connect with two steamers of the Lusi tania and Mauretania type to run between Cape Sir Charles and Liver pool. The sea distance between the two points is only 1,656 miles, running between Ireland and Scotland and through the Irish sea. There will be a ferry across the straits to Newfound land. "This would be by far the shortest passage across the Atlantic, and with steamers of the Lusitania type the voyage from land to land could be ac complished with only three nights at sea," said the Newfoundland premier. "The route would be open all the year round —occasionally drift and floating ice would be met with, but nothing to obstruct properly built and equipped steamers. "From Cape Sir Charles to Quebec is about 1,000 miles, and with a line of standard gauge this could be covered at sixty miles an hour, which means that passengers could be landed in lower Canada and in the United States twenty-four hours earlier than by the Lusitania to New York today. "This can readily be seen when it is explained that the ocean passage would be 1.200 miles shorter and that the 1,000 miles will be covered on land at sixty miles an hour, which is nearly three times as fast as the Lusitania and the Mauretania travel." The Mauretania's best time is about thirty land miles an hour. The period of self-absorption of American capital in transportation schemes of a domestic nature still con tinuing, and his partial bridging of the North Atlantic having its terminals re spectively in the mother country and her colony, it is British capital, con sequently, which proposes to father this project, which sounds and looks so much like a dream. But Sir Edward, who has never been accused of being a dreamer, said that he had discussed the plan with a syn dicate of British capitalists in New York. "There are in New York at the present time," he said, "the represen tatives of a large and influential Eng lish syndicate who have acquired rights to a railway running out of Que bec and who have a charter to build a railway in the direction of Cape Sir Charles and Newfoundland, the width of the strait at that point being only seven miles." So far as the steamers themselves are concerned, marine experts say that the only saving would lie in one day's steaming coal, an economy of $3,000 or $3,500 a trip. The provisions saved on a three-day trip would not be count ed at all. The cost of running a great steam ship such as the new White Star liner Olympic, pictured above, is tremen dous. To bring the Olympic from Southampton to New York and tie her safely to her pier costs In the neigh borhood of SIOO,OOO. This vast sum is made up principally by the pur chase of coal, the wages of the men on board and the buying of food for the passengers. The value of the coal consumed —about 800 tons per day— was ouly a trifle less than the cost of the food eaten by the passengers. This latter item was increased about SIO,OOO on the return voyage because the first and second cabins were tilled when ,he leviathan departed. From a chief steward's viewpoint It Is said the Olympic Is a bad vessel for an economizing head of the eating department, because the very steadi ness of the vessel helps a passenger to eat three good meals per day, and maybe four, whereas If the chief stew ard could only rock her a bit, you know—well, quite a number of the hopefuls would be clutching the rail, gazing at the sea and thinking about a biblical expression that is quite apro pos. The principal items of expense in moving the Olympic from South ampton to New York are: Coal $22,400 Wages of employes 15.000 Laundry 2.000 Meals for first cabin passengers 17.000 AJeals for secoiKl cabin passengers.. 4.42> Feeding the third cabin passengers.. 3.950 Feeding the employes S.OOO Eighteen tugs for docking 400 Transferring third class cabin to Hi lls Island Transferring third cabin baggage.. 7£ Here is a part of the list the chiet steward made up to restock his larder before sailing again: Three thousand pounds of Philadelphia broilers. 3.000 pounds of Philadelphia roasters, 2,000 pounds of capons, 3,000 pounds of ducklings, celery fed; 2,000 pounds of fowl, 500 guinea chickens, 100 dozen squabs, 7,000 pounds of fish, 30,000 eggs, 7,000 pounds of butter, 35,000 pounds of beef, 10,000 pounds of mut ton, fifty spring lambs, 3,000 pounds of veal, 3,000 pounds of pork, thirty tons of potatoes, 1,500 quarts of ice cream, 100 Virginia hams, 100 dozen sweetbreads, 1,000 sheep kidneys, 500 ox kidneys, 200 corned ox tongues. 1,000 pounds of sausage, thirty bar rels of clams, 100 dozen soft shell crabs, 200 barrels of flour, 100 dozen asparagus, 500 dozen lettuce, twenty four boxes apricots, 100 boxes Newton pippin, 100 boxes cooking apples, fifty crates cantaloupe, 100 boxes grape fruit, fifty boxes lemons, 200 boxes oranges, fifty boxes peaches, 200 crates strawberries, fifty boxes peaches, 200 crates strawberries, fifty crates water mellons, twenty dozen crates pineap ples. The Olympic is the largest vessel ever constructed. It is 882 ! 2 feet in length. 100 feet more than the world's tallest building, and has a width of 92 feet 6 inches. Its displacement is 6ti,- 000 tons. Prom the bottom of the keel to the top of the captain's house is 105 feet and 7 inches, while from the bot tom of the keel to the top of the fun nel the hight is 175 feet. The vessel is supplied with electric elevators, Turkish bath and swim ming pool, a squash racquet court and hand-ball court, a golf course, palm court and sun parior. It has a dining room with a capacity of 550 guests and a dance hall accommodating 200 couples. It can carry 2,500 passengers and crew of 860. It has 2,000 win dows and the number of its floors is 14. The Olympic was built in Ilelfast, Ireland, and cost approximately $lO,- 000,000. Nicknames of Papers. Nicknames for newspapers have gone out of favor. While the Times was forme ly Granny and afterward the Thunderer, the Morning Post used to be known as Jeames, that generic name for flunkeys being attached to it in allusion to specialization on society news. When the Morning Herald and Standard had the same proprietor and to a large extent the same staff, and used to appeal to each other as independent authorities, they were familiarly known as Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Gamp. The Morning Advertiser, as the organ of trade, has at various times been dubbed the Parrel Organ, the Tap Tub and the Gin and Gospel Gazette. The Pink 'un scarcely counts as a nickname, being officially adopt ed as an alternative title for the Sporting Times.—London Chronicle. Golf and Kisses.

SECOND BIBLE A NECESSITY Experienced Minister Knew What He Wat Talking About When He Advised Junior. "Now that you are married," said the experienced minister to the young curate, "you will have to stop using the church Bible for home study. Oh, yes, I know how it is. You get attached to a certain Bible, and can study better with that right under your nose, and would willingly pack It back and forth for the Inspiration it affords. I've been through It. Used to do that very thing myself, but aft er half a dozen vellß and a pair of gloves and some little lacey things that I shall not attempt to specify floated down from the pulpit on Sunday morn ings In view of the astonished and amused congregation, I accustomed myself to two Bibles. The women folk will put things into the Bible to press. It is a habit you can't break them of, and the first thing you know these feminine knick-knacks go sail ing away to humiliate you." That night the curate turned the pages of his Bible carefully. A veil and a scrap of lace fell out. He sighed. The next day he began to cultivate an affection for a second Bible. PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA CAME FROM TEETHING "When my little girl was about eight months old, she was taken with a very Irritating breaking out, which came on her face, neck and back. When she first came down with it, it came in little watery-like festers under her eyes, and on her chin, then after a few days it would dry down in scaly, white scabs. In the daytime she was quite worrysome and would dig and scratch her face nearly all the time. "I consulted our physician and found she was suffering from eczema, which he said came from her teething. I used the ointment he gave me and without any relief at all. Then I wrote for a book on Cutlcura and pur chased some Cutlcura Soap and Oint ment at the drug store. I did as I found directions in the Cutlcura Book let, and when she was one year old, she was entirely cured. Now she is three years and four months, and she has never been troubled with eczema since she was cured by the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment."

Or.e evening last week when he got home his wife had a new hat to show him. It was some hat. Anybody could have seen that it was the final phrase in female headgear. But Bunsen started to make re marks. He said it looked as if It had been trimmed by a cross-eyed milliner on an empty stomach. And he made a lot of other disparaging remarks. Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears. Bunsen had togo into the other room to have a quiet laugh at her expense. The next day he had forgotten all about the hat. The day after that he was reminded of it. Mrs. Bunsen handed him a bill for retrimming that hat—slß.34 It came to. Bunsen paid it without a murmur, and said the revised edition of the hat was lust exactly right. He is not criticizing hats any more.

Practical Illustration. To shorten a long Sunday afternoon for Fred, aged eight, his mother told him that he might illustrate the twen ty-third Pnarin in any way he chose. Quiet reigned for a time, as Fred, busy with pencil and pad, drew "shepherd" and"green pasture," "rod and staff." Then a silence ensued, followed by a noisy clatter which brought his mother to the room. Fred was busily arranging a train of cars, a toy gun, marbles, etc., on the table. "What are you doing, Fred?" "Why," he answered, "these are the presents of my enemies." A Trifle Withered.
