The Quickest Trains in the World.

The pace of the quickest trains
in England, says an English pa
per, is greater by ten miles an
hour than that Of the quickest
trains Of any other country. In
Great Britain the average veloc-
ity Of the express is fifty miles an
hour. In Belgium it never ex-
ceeds forty-one miles an hour;
between Paris and Bordeaux it
is thirty-nine and a half miles an
hour. In Russia and in some
parts of Switzerland the rate is
twenty-seven miles an hour. Per
contra. in England railway tray
cling is attended with more risk
than in any other country in the
world. Yet even thus the perils

The Horrors Of Chinese Warfare.

II is horrible to contemplate,
says the British Medical Jour.
nal. that in the not improbable
event of hostiIities breaking out
between Russia and China In
Central Asia, large armies will
be sent into the field by the lat
ter power unaccompanied by
medical officers, and unprovided
with ambulances, bandages, or
surgical appliances OF any kind.
The sick and wounded OF these
armies will have onlyiscomrade-
ship to look to for succor; and
when rapid advances or retreats
are being effected, comradeship
is of course, of no avail, so that
they will be left to perish miser-
ably where they fall. It is al
most incredible that an empire,
Boosting an ancient civilization
and cele stias culture, should be
90 careless of the lives of its de-
tenders as to make not the faint
est attempt to supply them with

causaiies Of warfare; yet such

The Uses OF A SAND BAG.-One
Of the most convenient articles 10
be used in a sick room is a sand
bag. Get some clean. fine san /,
dry it thoroughly in kettle on
the stove, make bag about eight
inches square of far mel, fill it
with the dry sand, sew the open
ing carefully together, and cover
the bag with cotton or linen
cloth. This will prevent the sand
from sitting out, and will also en-
able You to heat the bag quickly
by placing it in the oven, or even
on the top of the stove, After
once using this you will never
again attempt to warm the feet
or hands of sick person with a
bottle of hot water or a brick.
The sand holds the heat for Il
long time; and the bag can be
tucked up to the back without
hurting the invalid. It is a
good plan to make two or three
of the bags and keep them ready
for use. @

Tenement houses proper are
peculiar to New York City. Ten
ement houses so-called may be
found in all the large cities of
the world, but New York alone
can point to five and six-story
death-traps into which are fami-
lies packed by the dozen, and
men. women and children by the
hundred. The higher they are
built the more rent they will pay
There are no yards around them.
Every half-dozen houses have q
little court OF about the dimen-
sions of a bed quilt. Clothes are
dried On the roof. These traps
are built back of each other,
front Of each other, and on the
side of each other. Sometimes

can only be approached through
an alley large enough to admit q
single person at a time. Some
times the entrance and exit from
the houses are found running
between the walls If a large
number of other houses, grocery
stores, whisky shops, etc. Some
.imes fire breaks out il one of
the inner traps, and then tale
OF horror is flashed over the
country. When the dreadful
tidings are fresh in the minds of
the people, there is a clamor for
reform in the construction of the
tenements. i The public interest
in the matter is not lasting, how
ever, and We hear no more about

George Eliot's Face.

The face was one of a group OF four,
not all equally like each other, but all
of the same spiritual family. and with q
curious interdependence of likeness.
These four are Dante, Savonarols, Car
dinal Newman, and herself. We only
know one such other group, and that
consisting of three only. 1t is that
formed Of the traditional head of Christ
(the well-known profile on q coin),
Shakespeare, aud st. lgnatius Loyola.
In the group Of which George Eliot
was one there is the same straight wall
OF brow; the droop of the powerful
nose; mobile lips touched with strong
passion kept resolutely under control ;
a square jaw, which would make the
face stern were it not couuteracted by
the sweet smile of lips and eye. We
can hardly hope that posterity will ever
know her from ikenesses rs those who
had the honor of her acquaintance knew
her in life. Only some worlds artist
could have handed her down as she
lived, as Bellini has handed down the
Duge whom We all know so we'll on the
walls of the N ational Gallery. The two
or three portraits that exist, though
valuable, give but very poor present
ment. The mere shape of the head
would be the despair Of any painter.
1t was SO grand and massive that il
would scarcely be possible to represent
it without giving the idea Of dispropor-
iion to the frame, of. which no one ever
thought for a moment when they saw
her, although it WAS surprise, when
she stood up, to see that, after all. she
was but little fragile woman who bore
this weight Of brow and brain.-(C.

Eggs VS.. Meat.

Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet
About one-third of the weight of al
egg is solid nutriment. This is more
than can be said of meat. There are no
bones, no tough pieces that nave to be
laid aside. A good egg is made rp of
ten parts shell, sixty parts white and
thirty parts yolk. The white of an egg
contains sixty-six per cent water, the
yolk tifty-two per cent. Practically IN
egg is animal food, and yet there is
none of the disagreeabie work of the
butcher necessary to obtain it. The
vegetsrians Of England use egg freely
aud many of these men are eighty and
ninety years old, and have been re.
markably free from illness. Eggs are
best when cooked four minutes. This
takes away the animal taste that is Of
fensiye to some, but does net harder
the white or yolk 30 as to make them
hard to digest. An egg if cooked very
hard is difficult of digestion except by
those Of stout stomachs; such eggs

Gated very finely. An egg spread OF
toast is food tit for a king, if kings de-

which is doubtful. Fried eggs are les.
wholesome than boiled ones. An ege
dropped into hot water is not only clean
and handsome, hut delicious morsel.

Treatment of the Insane.

"Noisy as Bsdlam." mad as Bed
lam" they used to say generation or
two ago; but few thought of the terri.
BILE reality hid under the familiar ex.
precision.
The word is corrupted from Bethle-
hem, from 1547 to 1914 noted English
mad-house. He who entered its door
left hope behind. Indeed, even before
entering, the most fearful terrors were
brought to bear on his bewildered
brain, dislodging whatever of ressou
might be left, under the absurd idea
that the insane can be ruled by feal
alone.
Within this house were lifelong hor
rors beyond all ordinary conception
cells. chains, clogs. strait jackets
stripes, blows with the fist, noisomt
food, filth, foul air, drunken keepers.
Let one think of his own mother OIL
daughter thrust into such a place! Bal
the long succession of inmates, who
for three centuries, were relieved of the
horrors of Bedlam only by death, were
equally sensitive to suffering; equally
shrank from terror; would have beer
equally susceptible to kindness; and
might. by right methods. easily have
had their fevered brains cured OF
calmed.
1t is only since 1893 that. in Paris
the law OF love. with its miracles o
healing, began to displace the law o
force; and it is only forty years since
the same change Was inaugurated il
England. In our own land many of The
old ideas still prevail; and nothing Car

cies of unit attendants but stringent
laws and State supervision. Kind treat
ment alone tends to the cure of insanity
otherwise the disease tends to hopeless

food.
Nathan says that q bear did actually
pass that way the following morning
that he came close to the trap: but that
on smiling their guns, the animal
bounded off at great pace through
the woods. Several times during the
night they heard us shouting. They
answered; but their shouts, in the con
fined space inside the trap, did not
reach us.
About three O'Clock the following
afternoon, Frost. the owner of the trap,
came to visit it, and let them out.
What explanations or excuses they
made to him for being there in his trap,
or what comment he made on his
"game." Nate does not recollect. Ills
memory is poor on that point.
Joking with him year or two ago on
this adventure, be assured me that he
has never been able to endure the taste
nor the sight of honey eince.
The boys could not be said to have
been caught in their own trap, but they
must have had certain sympathy with
a captured animal from that time, and
have learned by experience that such
sport is so attended by suffering that
the killing OF many kinds of animals
should be gogerned by necessity
