Nearly all women love flowers, and
there is something so delicate, so much
unsaid yet suggested in flowers that the
simple gift of one is always appreciated
by woman-not to speak of the differ
emf sentiments that are associated with
different kinds of flowers. 1t is very
interesting to note how differently peo-
pie regard flowers. Why, can tell
almost the moment a woman enters
whether she is fond of them. Women
who love flowers always have sweet
faces, soft ways and gentle dispositions.
One of that kind rarely asks for the
fashionable flower because it is fashion
able. She loves flowers for their own
sake. and consequently she is almost
sure to call for her favorites, whether
in fashion or not The woman who
cares for flowers simply because they
are fashionable is generally one of the
cold, naughty, airy kind. She will look
around critically, seize some flower and
pull it out of bunch, sometimes break
ing off a leaf or catching one of its
thorns in another rose, tearing the
petals That's the differences you see.
The other lady handles them with a
gentle caressing touch almost as if they
were human.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

1t is to be hoped the Arctic expe-
dition which sailed from New York
the 18th inst. will be the last one to
leave for the Northern death.trap.
On the day named the Alert took its
departure from New York as the sup
ply ship of the expedition in search
of the missing Greedy party. Three
other vessels, the Thetis, the Bear
and a coal tender preceded. The
Alert was the last to sail. There are
some hopes that the tidings of Gree
ly's safety may be- received at Uper-
nivika. If there shall be nothing of
the kind, then Commodore Schley,
commanding the expedition, will
push north through Melville bay as
fast as the ice will permit him. He
is fortunately untrammeled by any
department instruction, and is left to
carry OUT the humane objects of the
expedition. The hearty wishes for a
full measure of success to the Alert
will accompany her officers and
crew. We hope we will not be com-
PEELED to record another Jeanette or
Proteus catastrophe.

hand? The tax on spirits last year
amounted in round figures to seventy

AMERICAN PORK VINDI-
GATED.

In a recent number Of the maya
zine of Pathological Anatomy and
Physiology, Professor Virchow pub
fishes the result of the investigation
which he made concerning the pre-
tended cases of trichinosis produced
through eating American pork. AS
is we'll known som interested parties
asserted that numerous cases of the
disease were known to have oc-
Cured owing to the use of American
ham and bacon in North German
ports. Professor Virchow promptly
set to work to make inquiries Of the
prominent experts at those places,
the result of which showed that no
case of trichinosis in any way tracea-
BILE to American ham or bacon had
occurred there. Moreover, in not a
single instance was it proved beyond
a doubt that the trichin@ found were
still alive, except at Bremen. where,
as DR.. Focke, q physician since de-
ceased, reported several cases of trich-
nosis had been discovered without
however, causing death. Accordingto
Professor Virchow, the cases thus re-
ported have not: been published or
described in a strictly scientific form.
and hence are by him considered
liable to serious critici m. The
material thus furnished lie therefore
far too meagre, and cannot serve as
basis for the prohibitiye measure.
ut IS CERTAIN" concludes Professor
Virchow, that no trichinosis cpl
demic has been produced in Ger
many through American meat
product. Aside from Bremen, no
cases of disease have been discovered
that can be attributed to American
meat, still less to American bacon
Wherever, in the heat of discussion,
the opposite has been asserted, it has

NAMED unconfirmed." This shows
how little foundation there is for the
prohibitive measure, according to
the most careful Investigations of a
scientist whose authority on the sub
ject cannot he questioned. Unfer-
tunately, this is all to no purpose, for
whenever certain interests are at
stake, neither morality nor science
stand a chance of being heard.

weigh the judgment of Republicans

The Fastest Railroad Speed

is recalled to mind by q cOrresPou.
dent OF the Engineer. who senos tla'
journal q card, which has beeu Oro~

ed:
1.-THE Great Western Railway
broadguage engine "Gleat Britain"
accomplished the fastest Journey on
record, VIZ, from PaudingtOn 10
DldcOt, 534 miles, III Al minutes. Inc
train Was Lne 9;l5 express to Bristol.
and consisted vi four carriages and
vans, and was driven on May ii,
l848, by J. Michael Almond, driver;
Richard Denham, ftreuuan.'
Tue correspondent adds that d
fireman Denhanl, IS still living. u
perannuated.
At the time this run was made the
battle OF the guages was raging, anu
the advocates vi the 7-fOO. gauge were
anxious to show that the highest
speed could only be obtained on tnelr
line, the Chest Western, laid out by
Brunei. The engineers. therefore.
had orders to run as u s as possible,
regardless of timetables. When the
superiority Of the bread guage as re-
CARDS high speed had been fully DEM
onstrated, this practice was given up,
but as late rs 1862 the schedule time
of this train, the ''Flying Dutchman"
was 81 minutes for 533 miles. The
line is practically level; the mean
grade, however, is nearly three feet
to the mile against the train.
The tram consisted of three passen-
ger coaches and one baggage car, each
having six wheels on = rigid wheel>
base. The train would seat about 1874
passengers. and weigh, with engine
and tender, about 224,0 600 pounds.
According to experiments made with
the same engine and a similar train,
the total average resistance at the
running speed of IS miles an hour
would be about AZ pounds per gross
ton. The tractive power of the engine
would thus be 1900 pounds. This
would give an average pressure in
the cylinders of nearly So pounds TO
to the square inch while the indi-
Gated morse power would be $40.
Though more modern engines, with
greater cylinder power, have exceed
ed this last figure, it IS doubtful if
the speed has ever been exceeded
over such q distance on a level or
slightly rising line.
The engine "Great Britain" was
built in lS47, and is still running, but
with q new boiler. The cylinders are
Is by n. with a single pair OF S-foot
drivers. The boiler was Of enormous
size, having nearly 1000 square feet
of heating surface and Is feet of CRATE
area. The top Of the wagon topped
fire box was above the engineers
head, and was considered enough
shelter without any cab, which has
since been added, though few other
alterations have been made. About
thirty of these engines were built be-
tween 1916 and 1855 and the great
majority of them are still running
main line trains, having, as q class,
mad q long and most successful career.
1t would be interesting to know
what are the oldest American en-
gines still running express trains.
