Sleeping Car Wash Bills.
New York Letter in Utica HERALD

NEW 1ork Letter In Utica Herald.J
The sleeping Car system which began
In so limited a manner has reached q
magnitude of which few have any idea.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific these
combinations of speed and comfort are
in operation, and the adoption of con-
venience to limited space shows no small
degree of ingenuity. One of the princi-
pal expenses of the sleeping car is the
laundry bill. At Boston the monthly
wash list includes 5000 pieces of linen,
and the bill il of corresponding amount.
Each car contains "a berths, and its out
fit includes 100 sheets, 100 pillow slips,
80 hand towels and 10 roller towels.
The entire equipment of the Pullman
Company includes so COO sheets, 46, 900
pillow-sl1ps, 10000 hand towels and
5000 roller towels. The company also
uses about 13, coo blankets. A sleeping
car is cleaned and emptied as soon as it
reaches its destination, and the soiled
linen is Immediately sent to the laundry.
The Pullman Company washes and re-
pairs its blankets in the cities where the
principal offices are situated. The Wag-
ner Company, however, sends theirs to
be cleaned at the mills IN Pittsfeld,
Mass, where they were made. The to-
tai equipment of the Wagner Company
is 1000 wooden blankets, ID 851 linen
sheets, 12,202 pillow slips, $40 hand
towels and 2,347 roller towels. The
aggregate expense of keeping the bed
ding of this company clean amounts to
about So, 900 to So, 900 month, or $50,
900 year, while that of the Pullman
company is $4,000 to $4,000 month,
Notwithstanding the reduction of cost to
the lowest possible point. Sheets are
washed for a cent and half apiece and
pillow slips and fowls tor one cent each.
An addition to the other expenses is
that of providing the sleeping cars with
combs, brushes, whisk brooms, feather
busters, soap and other toilet articles,
and this item is largely increased by the
incessant tbefts committed by passen-
gers. It is not an uncommon thing for
an apparent gentleman after using
hand towel to slip it into his pocket, and
if detected, why, he mistook 1t for his
kor1biof -

VELOCITY OF LIGHTNING.

A large fash of lightning, distinctly
seen, often leaves upon the mind an i'm
preston that it has lasted fully a second
or more, but it is proved that such is not
the fact. Its velocity is at the rate of
288, 900 miles per second. The utmost
duration of fash from beginning to
end is estimated not to exceed the sixtieth
part of a second, thou gh retained upon
the retina so much longer. This may be
proved during storm on a perfectly
dark night by setting wheel to work so
rapidly that in steady light its spokes
appear to blend and become individually
invisible. It being dark and the wheel
rapidly revolving as above, when fash
of lightning occurs the wheel will appear
to the eyey motionless, every spoke be-
ing distinctly and separately visible and
still. This was first observed by Wheat
stone, and is recorded by him in con-
junction with other similar experiments,
as conclusive proof that the duration of
the fash Is exc ss1vely brief.

APPLE TREES.

An English writer remarks that, con-
sidering the health giving proper ties be-
longing to the growth of apple trees, it
is surprising that more attention is not
paid to their cultivation in the United
Kingdom. One who has the welfare of
the human race at heart has lately cast
eyes on the neglected railway sidings in
that country. and it has occurred to him
that they might be utilized by the grow.
ing of apple trees. This is largely done
in Belgium and Holland. Anywhere
between Maestricht and MechIip, for in
stance, you may see the espaliers, kept
low and neatly trained on wires. ASK
the station MASTER" Gays our philan-
thropist, eff the fruit ever gets stolen.
He'll smile and say; Some does, per-
haps; but there's enough left to pay the
orchard company good dividend. "
Surely we, too, might have limited liza
bility railway orchard companies.
There are, by the statistical tables of
1873, over 10000 miles of railways in
the United Kingdom, and any one car
ing for such questions may set to work
to calculate how many trees could be
grown, and how many apples there
would probably be, In good season,
for each of us.

Hindoo Child Wives.


P. @. Mozoomdar, the Brahmin who
is lecturing IN various city churches this
week on ''Life in India" spoke in the
Broadway Tabernacle, at Broadway and
Thirty-fourth Street, last night. The
church was well-filIed, and the audi
ence listened with close attention to the
foreigner, who was introduced by Mr..
Taylor, the pastor of the church. In
speaking of the education in India, Mr..
Mozoomdar said that it WIS wholly Sec
ular, no protested follower of any relig
ious sect being allowed to teach in the
schools, while agnostics, skeptics, and
infdeIs were freely employed. Refer
ring to the Hindoo women, the speaker
said in substance:
s. A little H1ndoo girl is as sweet and
as pretty as any American girl, but at
the age of six years their parents become
anxious about her; at her parents be-
come more anxious, the anxiety increas-
ing until at the age of 10 it reaches its
crisis. The ambition of the parents is
to make as profitable match as posi-
BILE. She is usually married then,
though she may 1--we 1t home a year or
two longer. Then, as frequently hap
pens, her boy husband dies and the
widow of IL years must remain widow
forever. Something must be done to.
prevent these early marriages and to
help these miserable little widows. I
do not believe in woman riding bicy-
Gle nor dancing on tight-rope, nor do
1 believe in the girl OF the period, but
1 admire the woman of worship and the
woman of affection"

THANKSGIVING DAY.

In accordance with established custom
President Arthur has issued his procla-
nation appointing the last Thursday in
November a day of national thanksgiv-
ing. There are sore hearts here and
there, and TO some of Us the year now
drawing to close will seem fuIl of dark
ness and sorrow. To all such national
holiday cannot be day of festivity, and
social enjoyment, but it may be some
thing even better than this if regarded
In the right spirit. To the American
people as a whoIe-to the nation-the
year has been crowded with blessings.
The prevalence of health, the fulIness
of the harvests, the stability of peace
and order, the growth of fraternal feel
ing, the spread of intelligence and learn
ing, the continued enjoyment of civil
and religious iberty-al these and
countless other blessings are cause for
reverent rejoicing" So runs the Presi-
dents call for the public recognition of
the goodness of God to the people.
Never was there year when the people
had more cause to rejoice In their lot as
people than in this year of grace.

LAND IN FRANCE.

The selling value of an average acre
Of French land has increased in the same
time from 500 to $1O7; meadow land
has risen from S165 to 1927 per acre;
vineyards. from $165 to 1927; gardens
and orchards, from $3.50 to $40 per
acre. These figures, which are the result
of very close estimates, show the values
of land in France which have no great
er productive capacity than lands in Mis-
souri,, which are rated only one-tenth as
high. The number of proprietors is re-
turned at 8.454. 900. There is in France
little of the landIordism that acts like a
milestone round the necks of the Irish
people and has an injurious effect In
England and Scotland, too. There are
no immense estates held by few pro-
prietors. The lands In France are main

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

The foreign trade of this country
makes an excellent showing on our side
of the account, and ought to have a
good effect on general business. The
value of our exports of merchandise and
manufactures for the twelve months
ending September 30th was 1912, 1885,
GAS, being an increase of $74, 636, 739
over the corresponding period last year.
The balance of trade-that is, the value
of our exports over our imports for the
past twelve months-is SILT, 1876, 909.
These are very encouraging figures, and,
together with the renewal of specie
shipments from Europe to America,
ought to operate as financial and COM
mercial topic.

Mary Churchill, who disappeared from her
home in st. Louis, on the 18th of August last,
and for whom search has been kept up ever
since, has at last been found and will be re-
turned to her parents. dispatch from In
dianapolis says: ''Dr. Fletcher, of tn insane
hospital, was struck with the description of
the missing girl to a remarkable closeness
which it answered the appearance of domes-
tic in the laundry department and at once no.
tilted the authorities who, in company with
Thomas J. Gala her, of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, called at the asylum and identified
the girl. She gives no reason for her sudden
disappearance. She left the city to night in
company with her father to pay brief visit to
her mother, but declares she can make her
own living, and informed Dr.. Fletcher that she
would report for duty Wednesday. Her leavz
ing home, however, was voluntary act. She
went alone, and all the theories about her

THE OPIUM TRADE.

The hatred of the opium trade on the
part of the Chinese rulers is said to be
as intense as when an attempt was made
to resist by arms the nefarious traffic
which was forced upon the empire by
England. Although the English gov
eminent derives a profit of nearly $780,
900, 600 year from the opium bought
in India ct 5000 box and sold in China
at $3.50, it is said that the Chinese gov
eminent would not maintain the trade,
even if it could secure all the gain from
it. The dread of French supremacy in
Tonquin is believed to be partly caused
by the suspicion that the French would
be tempted to establish the opium trade
trade there, and as a struggle against
he invasion of vice which is the worst
!, my of the Chinese empire, the at
empt of China to maintain her su-
zerainty over AMMAN is t o be regarded as
heroic
