A Hundred Miles an Hour.

Some time ago an American locomo-
tive, fitted with new brake, was
brought over to this country, but its
performances do not seem to have made
any stir. Some Of the American pa
pers are suggesting that an English To-
connective Of the best type should be
bought by one of the companies in tho
United States, and be tested against one
of their standard engines for speed and
durability. The question has come to
the front mainly on account of the agi-
tation for n quicker service between
New York and Philadelphia, distance
OF ninety miles, which one engineer
thinks may be covered in an hour. Such
q speed as that has never been sccom-
plished by any train, and it is doubtful
whether an engine by itself has ever
run at that rate, even for q short dis
lance. 1t is very well known that some
of the expresses on the great lines run
ming to the North do occasionally reach
speed Of seventy miles and more, GO
ing down some Of the long banks, but
the running average OF the fastest trains
in this country is fifty miles an hour.
That is accomplished by the Great
Northern Flying Scotchman. which
does the whole journey from Edinburgh
to Kings Cross at q running average of
forty-eight miles. Running average, it
should be explained, is calculated on
the time the train is actually in motion,
the journey average of the train men
toned being only q triEc less than forty
four miles an hour. The Great West
ern, which. thanks to the general level
character Of its line. should do better.

CLARA'S WAY;
DR., a Declaration Of independence.

Hazelnut Farm was at its pretties
when Clara Field came to live there
The old house, with its square, old
fashioned porch, vine-covered gable
ends and newly-painted green blinds,
glimmered white through the emerald
freshness of the maple trees; the grass
was purpled all over with wild violets,
and the dim old woods on the noun.
tain side were embroidered with q
thousand flowers. And the pretty
young bride, standing on the rustic
bridge that SPANIEL the brook, with
tufts of lilies on her breast, looked up
at the rising moon and drew long
sigh of contentment.
30, John, how beautiful this is!''
she said. softly. ''How happy we shall
be. We can walk in the woods and
gather wild flowers and ferns, and we
on the lawn, and sketch all these ex-
quiste bits of scenery, and life will be
like beautiful dream"
John Field whistled rather dubi-
ously.
'Of course it will, my DEAR" said he.
''And I'm glad you like the old place.
But rather think there'll be something
to do besides read and row and sketch. y
The next morning, when Clara came
down to breakfast in white bunting
dress, with cherry ribbon bars all over
it, Aunt Keziah looked at her in owl
eyed surprise.
"My DEAR" said she. ''If you and
John expect to get on in the world
you'll have to keep earlier hours than
this
.Why, Aunt Keziah, its only seven
o clock" said Clara, artlessly glancing
up at the clock.
"Humph!'' remarked Aunt Keziah,
as she placed the broiled ham on the
table, each slice surmounted by the
golden disk of delicious fried egg.
"John's brother William, lives on the
next farm, and his wife has been up
since daybreak, I'll go ball.
..Since daybreak?' echoed Clara.
"Why, what can she possibly find to
busy herself with?n
''Just exactly what you ought to busy
yourselfwith, said Aunt Keziah, taking
a pan of buttermilk biscuits out OF the
oven, and filling the crooked handled
little pitcher with thick, clotted cream.
"A farmers wife can't sit down and
fold her hands, unless she wants to
ruin her husband outright.
Clara looked piteously at Aunt Kezi-
abs memorable face, but she asked no
more questions. After breakfast, how
ever, she put on her little gypsy hat,
with its dropping brim, and its wreath
of daisies.
sJohn, she said to her husband, who
was busy giving directions to his farm
hands. II am going across the mead
ow to see Wills wife.
John looked at his young bride rather
doubtfully.
..Are you, petg" said he. Don't
you think it would be good idea to
help Aunt Keziah in the pantrye"
Clara laughed and shook her head.
s.She is all tied up in pocket-hand-
kerchiefs and bib-aprons, whitewash-
ing.'' said she. II can't whitewash. :"
my mother always did all the white
washing that was done ia the place
until she died. remarked John.

MOTHERS KISSES.

Kisses for the lovely dlmplos.
Two wee liiy-cups are they;
Kisses for the mouth SO precious.
Swceter than the new-mown hay.
Kisses for the eyes so merry,
Niolets all dipped In dew;
Kisses for the pink-whita fingers,
pretticr the earth ne'cr knew.
Kisses for the head 40 silken,
With it's little brdikc ways;
Kisses for the brow SO snowy.
Where a shadow never strays.
Kisses-one wide world OF kisscs'
Could have enough, dear. say,
Though kissed you, kissed you, kissed you
Yes, forever and dayg

All you that pass along,
Give car INTO my song,
concerning youth
that WAS young, young, young;
And of . Maiden fair
Few with her might compare,
But alaok, and alas, she
nds dumb, disnsb, dumb,
She was beautcous, fresh and gay,
Like the pleasant flowers In May,
And her cheeks were as round
as plum. plum. plum.
One was neat in every part,
And she stole away his heart,
but aiack. and alas she
itus dumb, dumb, dumb.
At length this Country Blale
Welded this pretty Maid,
And he kindly conducted
her home, home, home,
Thus in her Beauty bright
Lay his whole Delight,
But alack, and alas, she
Uds dumb dumb, duHs5s
Now will plainly show
What work this Maid could do,
Which pattern may be
FOR girls young. young, young.
O she both day and night
In working took delight
But alack and alas, she
trds danlb, dumb, dumb,
She could brew and she could bake,
She could wash, wiring and shake.
She could sweep the house
with broom, broom, broom:
She could knit and sew and spin,
And could do any such like thing,
But alnck, and alas, she
icGs dumb, dumb, dumb.
But alas this man did go,
The Doctors skill to know,
Saying. Sir, can you cure
Woman of the Dumb?
q 1t is the easiest part
That belongs to my Art,
For to cure a Woman
of the dumb, dumb. dumb.
To the Doctor he did her bring,
And he cut her Chattering-string
And he set her Tongue on
the run, run, run.
In the morning he did rise
And she Allied his house with cries,
And she ratified in his ears
like drum, drum, drum.
To the Doctor he did go
With HIS heart well Aid with woo,
Crying, Doctor, lam
undone, done, done.
Now she's turn'd a scoldiug Wife,
And I'm weary of my life,
Now cannot make her hold
her tongue, tongue, tongue.
The Doctor thus did say:
When she went from me away,
She was perfectly cured of
the dumb, dumb. dumb.
But it's beyond the Art of Man,
Let him do the best he can,
For to mako scolding Woman
hold her tongue, tongue, tongue.
SO rs you to me came
Return you back again
And take you the Oyl

With II anoint her body round,
When she MAKES the House to sound,
So perhaps You may charm her
