Popularity of a Hash Luncheon.

CLASH is becoming the popular mid
day luncheon dish of business men,, ="
said we'll known restaurant keeper TO
New York San reporter. Zone of the
reasons for its popularity is the fact that
very little time is wasted in chewing 1t.
1t seems next to impossible for the aver
age business man to eat slowly. He will
waste valuable time talking with
acquaintance. He will lOiter in his
office or in the office of friend and think
nothing of it; but when the luncheon
hour arrives he makes a rush for the
nearest restaurant and bolts his food
with alarming rapidity. Ayoung lawyer
will languidIy lounge in his office, but
when the meal hour arrives transforma
ton takes place He rushes to the nearest
lunch counter, straddles a stool, and
fights with the walters if not waited on
instantly. Hash is what he invariably
orders, and it disappears with lightning
rapidity. He then returns to the office
and yawns and gapes the rest of the
afternoon. No wonder dyspepsia holds
high carnival in this city. If business
men paid more time and attention to their
midday meal, they would avoid many

The Fastest Train in the World.

MANY persons who travel on the Con-
tinent of Europe are well aware that the
speed of express trains there IS CONSIDER
ably slower than that of English express
trains. Two or three trains on the
LYONS and Marseilles railway come per
haps near est to the English standard OF
performance. On the italian lines it is
customary to resort to the refinement OF
having three classes OF trans, or
dinario." s'diretto" and espresso" but
there does not seem much TO choose be-
tween them. The RdiLirGy Press corrects
our vague impressions by the test OF hg-
ures. and gives US the exact ratio OF our
expresses to those of foreign countries.
Our English expresses all run at high
rate. but since the acceleration OF the
Manchester and London expresses, one
or two of the great Northern trains carry
off the palm. They run at an average OF
forty eight miles an hour for the whole
Journey, including stoppages and the ex-
ceedingly heavy bank at Penlstone.
The bit between Grantham and London
is done at the rate of about ffty-four
miles an hour. These achievements,
however, are very closely approached by
the other great lines. France and Ger
many follow with an average of about
SO miles an hour. Holland, Belgium
and Austria Hungary follow with 80
miles an hour, Italy with 291 miles an
hour Spain and Switzerland with %
miles, and Portugal with Isl miles.
America runs us more closely, with an
average speed of 80 to 40 miles an hour.

Why a Baseball Curves.

Lovers of baseball may find it con-
venient to keep in mind this explanation
of the pitchers curve from Mr.. R. A.
Proctor: If the ball is advancing with
out spin, or is spinning on an axis lying
along its course, the cushion of COM
pressed air carried forward by it is conf
cal-Or rather conoidal-and therefore
resists the progress of the ball equally on
all sides, affecting only the velocity. But
in the case of the curve, where the ball
is spinning on an axis square to its
course, the air in front of the advancing
side of the spinning surface cannot es-
cape so readily as if there were no spin,
and ESCAPES more readily on the other
side. Hence the resisting cushion of air
is thrown toward that side of the ball
where the spin is forward and removed
from the other side, and the ball is de-
flected from the region Of greatest re-
sistance.

An Indian and a Panther.

A short time since a bloody fight &C.
Cured between an Indian and a panther
twenty miles south of Mercer, Texas. A
party of Indians from a neighboring vii.
lage were out hurting wild turkeys.
One Of the party who had strayed away
from his companions met large panther
and shot at it, wounding the beast and
greatly infuriating it. The panther was
in close quarters and rushed upon the
Indian before he could reload, and a
bloody fight enSued. The Indian drew
his knife and when the panther sprang
upon him cut the beasts throat from ear
to ear, but at the same time the animal
fastened its fangs in the throat of the
Indian, and a death struggle com
menced. When the other Indians reached
the comhatants both the Indian and the
panther were dead GIo68- Democrat.

WACO FEMALE COLLEGE.
Meeting Last thusiasm
Increased Prospects Of
SuCC69a

There was very good attendance
last evening at the chapel of Waco
Female College to attend the meeting
in the interest of that institution.
The audience was entertained for
several minutes at the commencement
of the program by songs executed in
chorus by ten young ladies under the
dictatorship of Mrs. Rounsavall. Fol-
lowing this, Gen. Felix H. Robert
son introduced Bishop Joseph s.
Key, of Macon, Ga. The Bishop de-
livered a most entertaining address of
about an hour upon the subject. He
said that his home, Macon, was the
seat of learning in Georgia as Waco is
in Texas. On his return to Texas
after all absence of two years, he had
been forcibly struck with the i'm
provement that had been made in
everything, but most especially in
educational matters. He showed the
the great advantage which this insti-
tuition is to the city socially, morally,
and financially, and believed the
moving to another town of this insti-
tuition would be materia loss to the
city, for it was even superior to facto-
ries in bringing to Waco material
wealth.
The reports from Mr.. j. ID. Bell and
DR.. +. II. Mitchell showed that the
subscriptions at that time amounted
to $4,000. DIR. s. A. King, DIR. Thos.
Moore, DR.. w. G. Connor, Mr.. J. A.
