TIMING YOUR TRAIN.
War* In Which to Learn How Fn»<
You Are Traveling.
"There has been some picturesque
fiction written about the ease with
which railroad men and drummers are
supposed to tick off the miles as the
train speeds along from things they
can see from the car windows," said a
railroad conductor to a reporter.
"There Is only one strictly accurate
way, and that is to seat yourself on the
side of the train from which may be
observed the white mile posts that line
the road and hold your watch on them.
If you have a split second watch, it
will prove Interesting to note that
while you made one mile in GO seconds
the next was covered in 53 and the
third in 70 seconds, and so on, as the
speed of the train increases or slack
ens. You may also follow around the
little second hand on an ordinary
watch. It kills time.
"Some pretend to say that they can
tell the speed of the train by counting
the telegraph poles. If there were an
exact number of telegraph poles to ev
ery mile, this might be done by a little
figuring, but there is a difference. The
number of telegraph poles to a mile
vary from 3:5 to 40, depending upon the
straight stretches and the curves in the
track, the latter having more poles
than the former. So, you see, it is not
as easy as the drummer would have
the other passengers believe.
"If the poles are planted 33 to the
mile, they are IGO feet apart, and every
11 passed represents a third of a mile.
If placed 40 to a mile, they are 132 feet
apart, and every 20 represents half a
mile.
"These are easy figures to remember,
and by applying them 011 a journey a
passenger may obtain an idea more or
less accurate of the speed of the train.
"Another way is to attempt to count
the clicks of the wheels of the truck of
your car as they pass over the rails
where joined. The rails of the roads as
placed today are too evenly joined to
arrive at an exact determination by
this method, because if you miss two or
three Joints your calculations are
thrown out as to accuracy.
"However, there are railroad men
who cannot tell you the number of rails
to the mile of their own roads, and
rails vary in length, the average being
30 feet, some 33 feet and some GO feet.
At 30 feet there are 17G rails to the
mile, and if you can count 17G consecu
tive clinks as your train flies along you
may determine its speed and not other
wise."—Washington Star.
THREE SIMPLE QUESTIONS.
And tht* Librarian Could >»t Answer
One of Them.
One day two well dressed young wo
men approached the desk of the read
ing room of a big library. One of them
took a memorandum from her pocket
book. i
"Can you tell me how many yards— !
oh, that's the wrong list!"' she said, -
hastily bringing forth another slip of !
paper. "Here it is. Will you please j
tell me who is Itudyard Kipling's fa- 1
vorite author;"
"I am unable to tell you, never hav- j
ing heard that he had one," admitted j
one of the librarians.
"Dear me!" said the young woman
'rritably. "It is one of the questions
for our next club meeting. Well, which
one of Thackeray's books brought him
the most Income?"
"That you can probably find out by
consulting a book, the nmber of which
1 will give you," said the official.
"Oh, I can't stop to look it up!" she
■iald hurriedly. "I thought you could
:ell me at once. Well, there's one more j
Jilng. Bessie Cunimock, my cousin in j
Manchester, had a splendid book when 1
was there last year for anecdotes of
amous people. I can't remember the
lame of it or who wrote it, but it was
ibout so big"—illustrating with one fin
der on the desk—"and it has a dark
jreen cover. Now, can you tell me
vvhat It is? Some day when I have
ime I would like to get it out. Of
•ourse you must have it in the libra
•y?"
For the third time the official was
ibliged to confess his inability to give
ler direct information. She looked at
dm with a piercing gaze and turned
• way, saying audibly to her compan
on:
"There, that just shows what all this
alk about their being examined for
tositions in libraries amounts to! Three
•erfectly simple questions, all on liter
•ry subjects, and he couldn't answer
>ne of them!" —Savings Journal.
The Toothpick: Ilahit.
"I'd like to know what my custoin
rs do with all the toothpicks they ear
y away," remarked a restaurant pro
irietor the other day. "Few men take
i single toothpick. Most of them take
lalf a dozen and many a whole hand
ul, and when they come in here again
or the next meal they take as many
>ver again. They don't need them. It's
ill due to the toothpick chewing habit,
.vhieh seems to be growing. There
sn't anything particularly pleasant
ibout chewing a wooden toothpick, and
t may be injurious if a piece of the
vood lodges in the throat or gets down
nto the stomach, as it is very apt to.
rsut the toothpick chewing habit is be
•oining a rival to the gum and tobacco
labits. The only reason I can give for
t is that the toothpVks are free and
cum and tobacco are not."—New York

APPETIZING BEEF.
llow to Prepare Tootlmome Dl«he.
From Cheap Cnln.
An excellent way !o prejrfny? a brls
ket is as follows: Procure a four or tive
pound beef brisket. Separate the fat j
from the lean with a sharp knife, leav- 1
ing a portion attached around tlire« !
sides. Stuff this pocket with a force- j
meat of a cupful of fine bread crumbs
mixed dry, with a half teaspoonful of
white pepper, a teaspoonful of salt, a
tablespoouful of mixed sweet herbs and j
a pinch of mace. Melt a haif table ;
spoonful of butter in a saucepan, sim
HUT in it a heaping tablespoouful ol
minced onion. When it is tender, stli 1
in the prepared bread crumbs, mix well j
together, take from the tire and stir iD
one beaten egg, spread in the pocket
and sew the open edge. Wrap the brls-1
ket in a floured cloth, tie, plunge into |
u kettle of boiling water. When it (
again reaches the boiling point, draw I
back where all can boil gently for three |
to four hours. Select a meaty piece of.
brisket.
A rolled rili roast a la ereole is a dell- 1
clous, savory preparation of beef. Se- !
led the meat and have it rolled the day
before you wish to cook it. Prepare a j
marinade of the juice of one large lem- |
on, three tablespooufuls of olive oil, |
four tablespooufuls of finely minced
onion and a dozen whole peppercorns j
in a grauiteware pan large enough to
easily accommodate the beef. Lay the !
roast 111 and leave for two hours, then
turn it over and leave for two more !
hours. Turn again and leave for the
night, first rubbing the edges well In
the marinade. Next morning turn once J
more and leave until ready to cook. Of
course the meat should be kept in a
cold place. Allow ten minutes to the
pound for roasting. After placing in j
tht; dripping pan throw over it a cup
ful of boiling water, sprinkle with a
heaping teaspoonful of salt and place
in a hot oven. Baste with a cupful of
boiling water mixed with the marinade
in which the meat has lnin, then strain
and lightly salt. Ten minutes be-!
fore the meat is taken from the pan
baste over it a tablespoouful of butter, !
dredge a tablespoouful (scant) of flour
over the top. Increase the heat, and as
soon as fhe flour froths and browns
place the meat 011 a hot platter. Gar- j
nish with little hunches of water cress. 1

A YEAR AND A DAY
Like a white thread carelessly caught
on the dark skirts of au untidy wo
man lay the dusty road across the
dun brown earth. One solitary trav
eler alone gave a touch of life to the
deadly monotony of a landscape made
up of low sky aud high hills, continual
ly meeting and falling apart in endless
undulations. From the earth itself
arose the soft, shining shimmer of in
tense heat, and through it, with a sort
of automatic unconsciousness, plunged
the figure whose gun and game bag be
spoke the hunter—a hunter and a
mighty man as well, whose broad
shoulders, lithe limbs and lean, un
handsome face bore the unmistakable
stamp of breeding and refinement.
For hours this man had tramped, ut
terly lost to the discomforts of the
present, in the intense pain of vivid
retrospection, a retrospection suddenly
interrupted by a spectacle of human
misery as grewsome as it was pathetic.
Quite alone, yet within the shadow
of a hastily improvised shelter of bend
ing boughs, lay the worn and wasted
figure of a man, a man upon whose
brow lay damp and cold a ghastly dew,
whose limbs had already fallen into
the absolute immobility of coining dis
solution and w hose passing life seemed
caught and focused In wide opened,
anguished eyes.
Startled out of his long day dream,
Serge Vernon knelt beside the sufferer,
pressing his brandy flask to his lips.
"Stranger," said he, "God sent you. I
am dying dying with my work un
done. Out yonder I've a daughter look
ing for water, a pretty girl and a good
one, raised a lady with her mother's
people, but she left tliein all for me. I
didn't ask it. At first I even tried to
"send her back. Ranch life is hard on
some women, but she loved it —loved
everything the dogs, the horses, the
wild, free life that was glad and beau
tiful to us both—until he came, a man,
rich, handsome and educated like her
self, a man whose speech was tlie
speech of her own people and who
brought to his wooing .-ill the subtle
arts of civilization. 1 never thought of
danger, never dreamed of treachery,
until the black hearted scoundrel had
gone—gone denying the private mar
riage into which he had entrapped her
and flinging her shame in her face.
What could 1 do but follow and wipe
out that shame in his heart's blood?
Murder they called it; just judgment I
knew It, but for her sake guarded well
the secret that she has never guessed,
that she must never know. But trou
ble came of It and loss until now, when
I must leave my poor girl penniless and
alone In a strange land. They have of
fered a reward for the murderer—
sl,ooo for him alive or dead. The
proofs are all here," laying a purple
hand across his laboring breast.
"Stranger, she needs it. Will you get
the money for my girl? When the end
comes, she has promised togo honi<*.
Then find the murderer of Jim Kau
nas and send the blood money to the
woman who, before God, is Ids widow."
Jim Kannls! Serge Vernon lived in
that moment a year of misery—the long
year since Stella Marsden had chosen
between his love and his cousin's for
tune, the cousin who cared so little for
the treasure won that he soon left it
for a taste of pleasure and adventure
in the new world. All that he had
found and deserved death as well. Lit
tle liking the task, Serge had crossed
the water, had learned the evil story
of a wasted life, lived under a false
name, ended in disguise and disgrace,
had offered a reward for the apprehen
sion of the murderer and had found
him.
There was a rustling among the wild
rose bushes, and, looking up. Serge
saw them part above the head of a
girl, tall, fair and like a rose herself.
Their perfume caught in her wind
blown hair, their bloom 011 perfect lip
and cheek, lip and cheek that paled at
sight of the dying man as, with a low
cry, she dropped beside him.
In the pocket of Serge's hunting shirt
lay a letter, a sweet and gracious ap
peal for forgiveness, written by his
cousin's widow. The letter, that morn
ing received, had been less a surprise
than his own reception of the fact that
she was no longer Inconsolable. Know
lug the heights of sacrifice to which
tliis guilty wayfarer had attained, see
ing his paternal passion returned with
absorbing filial affection, he realized
that the English girl, willing to sell her
sordid soul for the Vernon title, was 110
longer Ids ideal of perfect womanhood.
Suddenly, loud and clear, from the
dying lips came the eager question,
"Stranger, will you get that money for
my girl?" Serge Vernon bared his
head and lifted his hand. "As God Is
my witness," said he,"l will."
• •••*•*
Before Serge Vernon and his wife
were married she told him the story of
her sinless shame, but he gave her 110
answering confidence. Today her fa
ther sleeps in au honored grave, and
she In her happy English home has
won all hearts save that of the wid
owed Lady Vernon. Serge himself dis
courages any intimacy between the
two, feeling it to be uunatural and un
wise.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

It is almost impossible to proscribe
a suro remedy for tliis disease unless
we know the cause, and it may be one
of as many as the causes of diarrhea
In the human race, says American Cul
tivator. At this season of the year it
Js often caused by exposure to cold
Ftornis or to other methods of taking
cold, and from this cause it is more
dangerous than is any other, excepting
from poisoning, as it may result in in
flammation of the bowels. In this
case or almost any other we should
give a dose of physic or from a half
pound of salts and one to two ounces
i>f ginger, according to the strength
of that spice, to double that dose of
'both. Following the operation of this
we would give from four to eight table
spoonfuls of pulverized charcoal in the
feed at night. We prefer this to the
usual astringent medicines, though in
6ome cases it may be necessary to fol
low a day later with one ounce pow
dered chalk, one dram opium and two
ounces of ginger. Sudden change of
food may have caused it, in which case
It will probably regulate itself after
the animal has become accustomed to
the change. Give dry food and keep
the cow warm and dry.

The parsnip is probably one of the
best roots ever grown for milk cows,
and it lias a great advantage in that it
may remain in the lield until spring,
when other roots are all gone, and
then be used until grass has grown.
It is as easily grown as the carrot, and,
like that root, it wants a deep, rich and
mellow soil. Many object to growing
it, even In the garden, because the
weeds arc apt to get such a growth
before the parsnips come up that the
labor of weeding is greatly increased,
but this may be remedied by mixing
a few radish seed with the parsnip

rows can be seen and hoed out long

Oonlilrd the Fee.
A clergyman who used to be a pastor
of a church in Kansas City says that
on one occasion he had rather an amus

couple in that city.
"The gentleman," said» the clergy
man, "was a handsome, noble looking
young man and the bride to be more
than usually beautiful. It was plain to
be seen that the prospective groom
thought he had secured the one prize in
all the matrimonial market and was
correspondingly elated.
"Just fiefore the ceremony the gen
tleman handed me the marriage license
to see that it was all right. Inside the
license there was a crisp note, plac
ed there as the fee. The couple stood
up before the few witnesses in the par
lor, the ceremony was gone through
with, and they were pronounced hus
band and wife. The first thing the new
husband did was to draw his wife to
him and imprint a fond kiss on her
sweet lips. It seemed to thrill him
with unexpected joy, for, immediately
turning to me, he said, 'Parson, I'll be
switched If I paid you enough for this
job,' and, pulling from his pocket an
other note, lie thrust it into my
bands."—Baltimore Sun.

"The woman who is buried here was

rected that the partner of her second

side of the lirst, but that enough space
be left to bury her between the two.
"lly some book or crook a mistake
was made, and when she visited the
cemetery she found that they were

"Well, sir, she didn't know what to
do. She argued that if she should be
buried by the side of her iirst husband
It would not be fair to the memory of
her last spouse, and vice versa. What
did she do? Why, when she died she
left a request that she be burled In an
other lot, away from both of them, and
It was heeded." Louisville Courier-

Some farmers do not realize that u
good dairy cow owes part of her su
periority to her early care. If corn
meal be fed to heifer calves, it should
not bo given in quantities sufficient to
cause any great accumulation of fat.
If a calf acquires a habit of laying ou
fat, It will be apt to retain It for life.
Such a cow under heavy feed Instead
of converting it into milk will store a
great part in the shape of fat. A
habitually lean cow will return more
milk for a given amount of feed than
h fat one can. On the other hand, a
Stunted calf is a loss.

It has about one fifth of all the cotton
spindles in the Fnited States and more
than twice as many as any other indus
trial center in America. It makes MJ,-
000,000 yards of cloth annually. Every
working day its mills weave more than
1 ,r.<»«» utiles of cloth. If all the mills
could be run on one piece, the fastest
