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. "Once I knew
a boy who sat up until 11 o'clock
twice in one week:"
A HIT
What She Gained by Trying Again.
A failure at first makes us esteem
final success.
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." Name

IX MORE senses than one England
and America are drawing nearer
to each other. 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

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.
"Seashore golf stldom amounts to
much," said H. Chandler Kgan, the
golf champion, on the Whcaton links.
'♦Seashore golf always suggests to
me the dialogue between Jack and
Jill.
"'Oh, Jack, dear, don't!' whispered
Jill. 'The caddie will see us.'
" 'No he won't,' said Jack. 'He's
too busy looking for the ball, and lt'»
In my pocket.'
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." (Signed
Mrs. Freeman Craver, 311 Lewis St.,
Syracuse, N. Y., May G, 1911.

ment are sold everywhere, a sample

One Cure for Sarcasm.
Bunsen always was sarcastic.
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."
