IDENTIFY the rate Of speed was too high. These
very fast trains are = severe strain on man
and material. To travel on them is the next
thing to being shot out Of gun. Some.
times extreme speed Is desirable, but under
ordinary circumstances, such Is going in to
the city to buy winter groceries, 80 or 100
miles an hour, Is fast enough for any one to

The Inter Mountain says Mr.. Matt. w.
Anderson, of the Auant Courier, is to be
married Sept. 10. If so, how sweet to bis
afiianced must be the following lines from
his pen In the Courier Of the 9th:

A special to the Minneapolis Tribune from
London says very entertaining epistolary
war is raging in the London Daily Telegraph
on the question: rs marriage . failure ?''
American women have contributed their full
share to the discussion. A recent letter,
signed "Another American Wife," Champs
Elysees, Paris, contains the following, which
is likely to provoke comment in Chicago:
This moment there is not, verify believe,
a single big city in the world, not even ex-
cepting Vienna or Buda Pesth or Bucharest,
which contains so many worthless wives as
the city of Chicago. No married woman can
long BE- happy or respectable if she does not

spent by young American wives in hotels |
and boarding houses incline them to listen to |

United States than 1.-THE wife of Knicker-
booker" seems to believe with the usual re. |
suit. Every young and attractive married |
woman pines for attention and sympathy !

Samuel Harrison, = young man who has
been glass-eater in dime museums for sew
eral seasons, is in Bellevue hospital, N. Y.
BE Is Ill Of acute Indigestion, and the trou-
bic was caused by his abnormal diet. His
consisted in taking . goblet,
passing it around among the spectators TO
convince them that it was genuine glass, and
hen biting out large mouthfuls from the
EDGE of it, which he crunched and ground
between his teeth, and finally swallowed.
Witnesses Of the feat usually watched for
evidence that he kept the broken glass in his
mouth, aud waited tor an opportunity to spit
t out, but he always wound up by drinking
:opiously of water in . manner which
eemed to preclude such retention. Harri-
on is so sick from the disorder of bis stom-
'ch that he will not return to the museums,
md so he was willing to tell the attending
'bysician how his glass; eating was done.
The goblet was not glass, but was composed
# transparent brittle composition of isiDg-
lass and silicate. This bad the feeling and
ppearance Of glass, and the difference could
ot be detected Wy an inexpert examiner.
This substance was pretty hard, however,
nd chew it as fine as he might, it went into
lis stomach in q state not at all conducive
3 health. Gradually it brought on gastritis,
nd that is what ails him now. He will ]!
ever chew imitation glass again until some
ody invepts less harmful composition.--
