IAN accommodation train on our road,
scheduled at about thirty miles an hour,
frequently runs at the rate of sixty for
short distances between stations. It's
the stops that break up speed, and that
is one reason why they can make such
speed over in England. Their crossings
there are rarely at grade. The new
road must get under or over the old
one. The result is that they have very
few stops to make

an engine as fast as SiXty-seven miles

there is well authenticated case of a
locomotive maving at the rate of ninety
three miles an hour for a short time,
the fastest record ever made with a
locomotive. That was s,lo feet a

a five.and-a-half foot driver. That

than steam engines of that type should

only 24,042. In 1870 it reached 81, 432,

increase of insanity was nearly $50 per

is greatest in New England, while the
increase has been most rapid in the
western states. In the state of New

is said there are 1900 provided for at

The Penalties and Perns of Prosperity.


charleston News and Courierl
There are real trials of soul and spirit
that come with prosperity. The more
hardy traits of character do not always
thrive in an atmosphere of ease as un-
der the constant stimulation of neces-
sity. Even when a man has earned his
money or his high position by persistent
effort he may find himself more slothful
and less enduring, more earthly and less
self-denying, more DULY satisfied and
less high in his ideals in the lap of lux
ury than when he fought for his life,
inch by inch, with the stern-browed foe
despair.
In his poverty man 6Wells upon the
great good things that may be wrought
by riches. Too often in his wealth he
finds the small, unworthy things more
potent to occupy his mind. The pros.
porous man is sought out by the multi
tude, is made to feel the falsity of
many things through the trying test
of wealth, is beset and wearied with an
inhnity of cares cast on him and with
the cold resentment of those who con-
slider every dollar of his income dol
lar taken from theirs. His charities
are treated as a matter of course, his
denial of any petition is magnified into
an evidence of contemplate meanness,
his thrift is called penuriousness, his
generosity extravaganza. Certain So
cial requirements accompany wealth
and station, and if man dreams that
by attaining eminence he will escape
care he makes a sad mistake.

Fancy in Bound Books.


Forty years ago the edges of neary all
bound books were cut-for example,
Dickens own works, in his own library,
had gilded edges 1t is only of late
years that the fancy has arisen for I'M
cut edges to bound books, and, curiously
enough, the fancy has so manifested it
self that first edition of "Pickwick, ;"
with the top edge gilt and other edges
untouched, would fetch at auction more
than double the price of a gilt all
around edge copy The untouched edge
gives a larger page and margin certainly;
beyond tn, the advantage seems doubt
full. The pages require much care to
turn them over in reading, inducing
people to moisten their fingers, to the
injury Of the book, and If much used,
the edges get jagged and dirty. The
most comfortably bound book to read
is one with gilt edges and flexible back
