"There Is only one strictly ncctirnte wny, nnd thnt Is to sent yourself on the side of the t ruin from which mny be observed the white mile posts thnt line the rond and hold your watch on them. If you have n split second watch, It will prove Interesting to note thnt while you nmde one mile In 00 seconds the next was covered In 53 nnd the third In 70 seconds, nnd so on. ns the speed of the triiln Increases or slack ens. You mny nlso follow n round the little second hnud on an ordinary wnli'h. It kills time. "Some pretend to miy thnt they enn tell the speed of the train by counting the telegraph poles. If there were nil exnet number of telegraph pules 'to ev ery mile, this might be done by n Utile figuring, but there is a difference. The number of telegraph poles to a mile vary from ,13 to 40. depending upon the straight stretches nnd the curve In the track, the latter hnving more poles thnn the former. So. you see, It Is not ns ensy ns the drummer would hnve the other passengers believe. "If the poles nre planted !13 to the mile. Ihey nre WO feel npurt. nnd every 11 passed represents n third of n mile. If placed 40 to n mile, they nre 132 feet npnrt. nnd every 20 represents half a mile. "These are easy figures to remember, nnd by applying them on n Journey a pnssenger mny obtnln nn Idea more or less nceurnte of the speed of the train. "Another wny Is to attempt to count the clicks of the wheels of the truck of your ear us they pass over the rails where Joined. The rails of the roads ns plnced today nre too evenly Joined to arrive at nn exact determination by this method, because If you miss two or three Joints your calculations are thrown out ns to accuracy. "However, there nre railroad men who cannot tell you tho number of rails to the mile of their own ronds, and rails vary in length, the average being SO feet, some 33 feet and some 00 feet At 30 feet there arc 176 rails to the mile, and if you can count 170 consecu tive clinks ns your train flies nlong you may determine Its speed aud not other wise."

One dny two well dressed young wo men approuched the desk of the read ing room of a big library. One of them took a memorandum from ber pocket book. "Can you tell me how many yards oh, that's tho wrong Hut!" she sold, hastily bringing forth another slip of paper. "Here It Is. W:ll you please tell me who Is Rudyard Kipling's fa vorite author'" "I am unable to tell you, never hav ing beard that he bad one," admitted one of the librarians. , "Dear me!" said the young womau Irritably. "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 van probably and out by consulting a book, tho nmber of which I will give you." said the offlclul. "Oh, I can't stop to look It up!" she aid hurriedly. "I thought you could tell me at once.

Most of them take half a dozen aud many a whole baud ful, and when they come In here again for the next meal they take as many over again. They don't need them. It's all due to the toothpick chewing habit, which seems to be growing. There Isn't uuythlug particularly pleasant sbout chewing a wooden toothpick, and It may be Injurious If a piece of the Ivood lodges In the throat or gets down Into the stomach, as It is -very apt to.

Tfave you any Idea," remnrked the cashier of one of the largest lunch res taurants In New York, "how ninny minutes the average down town busi ness man devotes to his mlddny meal?" "At a venture," answered the report er, watching the hurried play of knives nnd forks about him, "I should say 15 minutes." "You act about the time usually esti mated," returned the cashier, "but In reality half thnt time would be nearer right. The averngo time consumed for lunch by the patrons of this establish ment Is Just eight minutes. The fnct Is," continued the cashier after the re porter hnd ventured a foreboding for New York digestion, "people find It such a trilling and unobtrusive matter Just to get 'a bite of lunch' thnt few realize what a gigantic business It is merely to supply hungry people down town at noon, because few bring their lunches with them, and from tho for mation of the city none can go home. "This establishment feeds 3,000 poo plo a dny, and the amount of food re quired to enre for thnt patronage Is enormous.

A certain father la possessed of a pair of exceedingly bright girl chil dren. The other dny his eldest daugh ter, Alice, was putting her younger sister, surname Gretchen. through some arithmetical paces, and the father was an amused listener. "Gretchen, bow much do 12 and 10 make?" was the form of one query, and, being correctly answered, other and similar questions followed each other In quick succession. Tho father believing the younger daughter was doing too much of tho work thought ho would put bis first born up a treo, aud so be broko In with a problem of bis own Invention. "Alico," be queried solemnly, "how much do you and Gretchen make?" Without an Instant's hesitation came tho reply: "Gretchen and I, pop, make you a proud and happy father." Exchange.

Some amusing Instances of trans lators' misunderstandings are mention ed by the Loudon Dally News. An Italian paper not long ago turned Mr. Hudyard Kipling's "Abseutmlnded Beg gar" Into a "Distracted Mendicant." A footnote to tho snme version explain ed "son of n Lambeth publican" as a reference to Mr. Krugerl Tho trans lator who explains is often lost Another Italian editor who translat ed n passage from nn English paper about a man who had killed bis wife with n poker added an Ingenuous foot note to say. "We do not know with cer talnty whether this thing 'pokero be a domestic or surgical Instrument" In the French version of one of Scott's novels a Welsh rabbit has to be dealt with. The translator, never hav ing met with that article of food, nat urally turned It Into "un Inpln do Gnlks." Unfortunately be bad seme doubt whether his countrymen would understand this and addod a lengthy footnote describing how the peculiarly ; delicious flavor of tho rabbits of Wales created a Inrgo demand for them In Scotland, whither they were exported In bulk that would compare -with the trado of Ostend. Jnpnn'a Impregnability. The coast of Japan, notwithstanding Its long shore line and numerous har bors, offers scant allurement to an In vading army. There Is very little beach. Tho bold erags and bluffs over looking every spot where a modern war vessel can rldo at anchor are pro tected by strong fortifications defended by tho most modern guns. Yeddo bay, the most feasible bight for invading purposes, needs careful navigation even by steamers of moder ato draft When torpedoes are plnnted. It Is simply Impregnable, says a writer In Collier's Weekly. When the var with China broke out small steamer was selected to pilot merchant steam ers up and down the bay. I remember perfectly the unexpected curves made by this steamer, showing plainly the countless dangers besetting a hostile fleet regardless of the care that may be used in feeling its way. No Invad ing army could possibly land, and even if it succeeded In doing so the rlce ficlds, readily submerged as they are, would aid materially In thwarting the advance and in Isolating the enemy. A successful Invasion of Japan la simply Impossible. Aa Irlab, Retort. Pat the driver of the coal wagon, seemed puzzled when he got np on High street the other day.
