Never Hope You Don't Iutrude.

Reader, word-serious sober, heart.full
word. This it is: Never think you don't intrude.
You do. You pop into parlor, perhaps
There sit in the twilight and bliss lounging on
a sofa, loving couple. Of course,you hope you
don't intrude. But you do though. You drop
into and editorial room. Business is driving
Every man is busy to his uppcrmost hair. You
hope you don't inlrude. You do and most con-
foundly. You happen into neigbborS just as
the set down to tea fakes place. A favori;e

for certainty that you DO. Call upon a lady
while household duties claim her attention, and
every moment is a golden one. just hope you
dou't intrude; but don't think you don't for you
do,any part or parcel of yourself is al intrusion,
and most unwecome one. SO on and so forth

Yet if ever there was country which had rea-

THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.


a writer in the London onar,erIy Review
SAYS:
"0f Parliamentary eloquence we rather de-
cline to speak. When there were such things
as grand speeches-we are wiling to believe
they were very grand-,hey had seldom repor-
tiers with shorthand pens, and most Of them
died. Assuredly the art is extinct and there
are no great speeches now. There are long
speeches; and sarcastic speeches. and crack
speeches; but they are not such speeches as fell
from the lips of Burke, Pitt and Fox, or, m0rs
recent still, from Canning and Brougham.
eve have frequently heard it asked, whittier
there was much wit in the house. and have
never known any variation Ia the reply. Very
seldom indeed, is good thing said within
these walls. Yet the House of Conmcns is aH
ii.5l;gent Audience, where II likes TIE ssPeakeE
but here, rs elsea here, the most senie anee-
d0te, execrabiy told, will be endured from T.
favorite, while an unknown man viii receive
groan i'll return for an epigram."
There is, however, this redeen1;ng trait in
the debates both Of the House Of Commons and
the House of Lords. They are at least digni6ed
and decorous, if not very brilliant and pungent.
Gross personalities are exceedingly rare, and,
if members fail to produce aly very startling
effect by OratOry, they certainly never attempt
to make striking impression by hard knocks.
In this respect, tie Parliamentary debates of
England present model which our own Con-
gress might initiate without disadvantage.
the fame which has been aehie'rd by the speak.
ing talent VI that body, has been neutralized by
the coarse nyec:ive and even resorts to vi0leGeO
which have sometimes occurred there.

VINO MAKES By IT?-The New York Day
Book of seth ut. says, last week the. news pa
pers, to spite the brokers, came down on the
western banks and advised every body who held
Illinois and Indiana money to sell it at once
The people became frightened and got rid of
their money at the best rate they could The
brokers bought western State bills at ninety
five cents on the dollar and sold them to grain
buyers and millers at ninety seven cents. The
giaiu buyers took them off into the country and
paid them out for wheat at 100 cents to the
dollar, making thereby three dollars on every
hundred.
For two or three days the brokers had as
much as they could do in taking in this money
at 80 cents and selling ii at 81 or lendingit on
ten days credit, the amount to be returned in
bankable money. They have bought it all up,
and it is now back or going back into the hands
of the people, and the brokers are waiting for
another stampede" Can't the Times start
the alarm again, and give them another har,
vest?

SICK HEADAcHE-The following cure for
sick headache WAS furnished to the Boston
Medical Journal by DIR. \. s Folsom, of Ports
mouth, n. b. Take any number of drops Of
Crotou oil, mix them with -four and molasses,
and make as many pills as drops of the oil used.
When the patient begins to feel the sick head
ache coming or, one half of u pill is to be taken
every hour in molasses. or something OF like
consistency, until Il acts as cathartic, and thus
treat the sick headache at each attack lfthus
taken, each attack will lie less severe, and, in
some cases few doses produce permanent
cure. He seems to think the Croton oil acts
in three WAYS: lst. By increasing the secre-
tons. 2d.-By counieracting the anil pcris'
taIic action of the stomach and bowels; and Sd,
by acting as counter rriant to the brain.

Speed On Railways.

In 1918, thirty years ago, Mr.. Meiss often
predicted in the newspaper, ana two years after
in the Legislature Of New York, that the time
would come when railways would be travelled at
an average speed Of Is miles an hour! Fe be-
lieved him. He has recently published book,
in which he states that the Emperor Nicholas Of
Russia, has taken the first great step in the cor
struetion Of railways, which Looks to the attain
ment oflhe highest practical speed in travelling
on them. Instead OF opening narrow cuts, and
going round every obstacle, the road from ST.
Pctcrsburgh to Moscow, 500 miles, is made on
a straight line, aud opened 200 feet wide, SO
that the running engineer can see everything
on the way. The guase Of the track is broad,
AND the locomotive is on wheels Of large dame
ter, and the Signals and time are perfectly fixed
and the roads crossing the tracks are shut off
by gates, as the trains approach. In this way a
speed Of 100 miles an hour is attained, and Mr..
Meigs thinks this may be increased to 800 miles
On some straight runs, 60 miles an hour has
been made in the United States and leo in
England.
A line Of road is now in progress ofconsiruc.
tion from Savannah, Georgia, to the Gulf of
Mexico, On perfectly straight line, and is to be
opened l5O feet wide. If open way is secured
curves avoided, and proper machinery provided
we see no reason why 100 miles aud hour can.
not be as safely run as 30 is on our Common
roads Cincinnati Gazette.
