The national hymn Of the Germans Is now the beau

is stirring and splendid, and It wi We are sure b
one Of the great attractions Of the German musical
concerts now being held throughout this country in
aid of the wounded soldiers OF Prussia. Here Is an
excellent translation Of the .wscht am Rhein:"
There swells cry rs thunders crash.
As clash or swords aud breakers dash
To Rhine TO Rhine, to the German Rhine.
Who will protect thee river miner
Dear Fatherland. let peace be thine.
Brave hearts and true defend the Rhine.
Two millions. swiftly came the cry.
And ightnings flashed from every eye.
Our youth so good and brave will stand
And guard the. Holy Border Landi
Dear Fatht rland, let peace be thine
Brave hearts and true defend the Rhine
And though my heart should beat no more.
No foreign foe viii hold thy shore:
Rich. as in water is thy flood,
Is Germany in hero blood,
Dear Fatherland let peace be thine.
Brave hearts and true defend the Rhine'
Up looked he 10 the heavens blue.
Where hero-dead our actions view;
He swore. and proudly sought the STRIFE
"The Rhine is German as my life.
Dear Fatherland. let peace be thine.
Brave hearts and true defend the Rhine.
While yet ono drop of blood throbs warm,
To WELD the sword remains one arm,
To hold the ride yet che hand.
No foeman steps upon the strand.

The through fast train over this line
which leaves Chicago at IL am, makes its
uniform quick time between terminal
points by running full speed long distance
with few stops. Thus, between Pittsburg
and West Philadelphia, Il stretch OF 800
miles i made with only two stops, at Al

Altoona to Harrisburg is l3l miles, the
longest run made without stopping on any
road In the United States. But one tank OF

CINE through. At Johnstown, this side
the summit of the Alleghanies, and about
20 miles west of Altoona, an extra engine
is always attached to the train, to be used
in making the ascent--eleven miles-which
is easily done without stopping the train.
The arrangement is effected so skillfuliy
and nicely that passengers are unconscious
