Railroad Travel Now and In the Past

Two additional fast express trains have
recently been added to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company passenger service be-
tween Philadelphia and New York, both
running through in two hours-the time
made by several other fast trains already
on the passenger schedule. When the old
camden and Amhoy Line was opened to
travel, forty years or so ago, the improve
ment upon the stage coaches which covered
the distance in long day-and this only
under favorable circumstances-was very
great; but II was not so great as the i'm
provement upon the primitive railroadIng
which the Pennsylvania railroad Company
has effected within the past ten years.
Some of rs remember with feelings of
misery the SIX OK eight hours in the wretched
little cars and in slow g1ing boat that the
journey between these great cities involved,
and yet We marveled not little at what
we then regarded as the greatest wonder
Of the age-a locomotive engine moving at
The rate Of twelve or fifteen miles an hour.
The contrast is no greater between the
stage coaches and these old time railway
trains, than that between the Camden and
Amboy service and the service of the New
York Division of the Pennsylvania Rail
road of to-day. From the roadbed up, a
complete revolution has been effected.
Engines running at the rate of from forty
i've to sixty miles an hour; cars in which
everything is provided for the comfort OF
tine traveller; system of telegraphic sig
naling that SECURES as absolute degree of
safety as human intelligence can devise
and apassenger service Of some forty trains
day-these are the main changes which
forty years have effected and the practical
results are actually greater than those
which marked the abandonment OF horse
power ard the introduction OF steam. As
travelling facilities have increased travel
has increased proportionately. These forty
tfains which ply between the two cities
every day carry backwards and forwards
eight thousand or more pssssngsrs-more
than in old times made the same journey
In a whole year.

EXTRA Coon SAUsAGF.-To every
eighteen pounds of sausage meat add
two good tablespoonfuls black pepper,
four table-spoonfuls salt, little heap
ed, and six heaping tablespoonfuls
sage. After measuring the pepper for
all your meat, weigh It, and to every
half pound OF black pepper, and TO
every fifty pounds of meat put one tea
cupiul OF pulverized sugar. AS TO
sausage m eat, We aim to have oue-third
lat, the rest lean, but guess at it, and
it is best to season the meat before the
first chopping. We always chop twice
and take out the stringy pieces. The
second chopping also stuffs ii in the
skins. This is by far the best sausage
we ever had, and We can safely recon-
mend II.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

SICK HEADACHE This complaint Is
the result Of eating too much ana ex-
ercising too little. often the cause Is
that the stomach is not able to digest
the food last introduced into it, either
from its having been unsuitable or ex-
cessive In quantity. 1t is said diet
Of bread aud butter, with ripe fruits or
berries. with moderate, continuous ex-
erc,se in the open air sufficient to keep
up gentle perspiratlOn, would cure
almost every case in a short time. To
drink two teaspOonfuls of powdered
charcoal in half glass of water geH-
orally gives instant relief. The above
sovereign remedies may do in some,
but not in all cases. A sovereign rem
edy Tor this ailment is not easily found.
Sick headache is periodical and is the
signal of distress which the stomach
raises TO inform us that there is an
over-alkaline condition of its fluids !;
that it needs natural acid to restore
the battery 10 its normal working con-
ditiOn. When the first symptoms OF q
headache appear, take a teaspoonful OF
clear lemon juice fifteen minutes be-
fore each meal AMI the same dose at
bedtime; follow this up until all
symptoms are passed. taking no other
remedies, and you will soon be able to
go free from your unwelcome nuisance.
Many will object to this because the
remedy Is too simple. but many cures
have been effected in this way.

RADIsHES. may be grown
in a very few days by the following
methoG: Let some good rsdish seed
soak in wafer for twenty-lOur hours,
then pu. in bag and expose it to the
sun. In the course OF the day germi-
nation will commence. The seed must
be sown in a well manured hot bed and
watered from time TO time with luke
warm water. BY this treatment the
radishes will in very short time ac-
quire sufficient bulk and be good TO
eat. If it is required 10 get good IA
dishes in winter during the severe cold
an old cask should be sawed in two and
one-half OF it filled with good earth.
The radish seed, beginning TO shoot as
before, must then be sown IN the other
half OF the barrel, it being put on top
OF the full one and the whole of the ap-
paratus carried into the cellar. For
watering luckewarm water should be
used, as before. In the course of five
or six days the radishes will be fit to
eat.

How TO DETECT UNwHoLEsoMB TEA.
"A correspondent writes: Tea drink

the following simple taste to the tea

contents OF the stomach; and lest there
be any remnant OF the poison, however
small, let the white Of an egg or a
tablespoonful of strong coffee be swsl-
lowed as soon as the stomach is quiet,
because these very common articles
nullify large number OF virulent
poisons.

A Western journal announces the
finding of n fine specimen Of the dis
coidal stone, a kind ofstone implement
rarely found, and deserving notice on
account Of the growing interest In
American sntig uities. The name has
been given to this form of stone for
reason of its double convex shape. 1t
is said to be made Of quartz, very
smooth, and 1t Is remarked that its
manufacture without the use Of metal
lie tools must have cost the ancient
mound builder who made it the labor
Of many Donths. Its use cannot be
accounted for. We are Inclined to be-
lieve of such stones what the State
GeOlOgist of Indiana, Prof. Cox, said
Of similar but elongated specimen
exhibited at the late meeting Of the
American Asso citation for the Advance
ment Of Science, in Boston, found In
the Wvand0tte Cave. and pretended
early cave dwellers. Prof. Cox con-
sidered it simply a. natural produc-
ton. piece Of watsr-worn rock, made
smooth by continual rolllngs; the
marks Of wear upon its ends he de-
clared to be recent, and formed by
collectors eff mineral specimens who
found it handy substitute for ham,
mer TO knock of pieces Of rock. He
slad that the tendency TO consider
every peculiarly shaped stone as an
Indian implement is running wild,
that every splinter of quartz IL eonsid-
cred an arrowhead, every small bowl
der an Indian hammer or Ak, etc., and
warned collectors only to trust to un-
doubted marks of human workman
ship.

Ca were absinthe plants prevail. He
urges the cultivation of the plant as
an insecticide, and especially as pre-.
