Costly Travelling.

Whenever the Queen goes to or comes
from Balmoral Castle, says London cor
respondent, she sends her check for e1 900
to defray the railway expenses of the
journey. Five thousand dollars is a con-
siderable sum, yet it does not begin to pay
the cost of the journey. In the first place
her Majesty has to have special train;
this train is preceded by pilot engine;
no other trains can precede or follow this
special train within the space Of twenty
minutes. This special train is under the
personal supervision of the general pas
senger agent Of the road, and he is ac-
companied by the chief engineer and by
other heads Of departments, even down to
an upholsterer, whose services may be
required by the breaking Of chair or the
dislodgment of a couch. The Queen
sometimes prefers to travel slow; in that
event the speed is slackened, or, in case
her Majesty wishes to travel faster, the
speed is increased; the train is wholly at
the Queens command, and frequently
tedious stops are made, thereby stopping
traffic along the whole line. But tie
enormous expense is incurred in the prac-
tice Of having the entire length of the
road policed while the special train is en-
route. Trusted watchmen are stationed
five hundred yards distant from one an
other along the entire line, and they sig
nal to the approaching train when all is
well or when there is the least suspicion
Of evil.

Gro,rih of the Church.

The Independent has gathered some
valuable and interesting statistics showing
the strength of the various Christian
churches in the United States and their
growth during the past year. In some
cases the figures are estimates, but our
contemporary believes that on the whole
the results "very closely approximate the
truth"
From this it appears there are in the
United States 15l, ,26l churches of all de-
nominations, 10000 ministers and near
ly 22,OO0000 members. During the year
there has been an increase of s, 800 church.
es, nearly 1900 ministers and nearly
100000 members.
The most numerous denomination is the
Roman Catholics, with its 1900 churches,
$500 priests, etc, and s,277,OOO popula-
ton, Of whom 100000 are estimated to
be communicates.
Then comes the Methodist with, in
round numbers, 4 100000 communicants;
Baptists, 4,292,OOO; Presbyterians, L.
229,000; Lutherans, 1,0S6,000 Congre-
gationalists, 491 900, and Episcopalians,
100000.
The increase in the Catholic population
during the year was 42l 200. The esti-
mated gain in Catholic communicates
was over 23S,000.
The growth of Protestant membership
was 66S,000. The Methodists gained
more than 256,000, the Baptists more
than 213,000, the Lutherans $4,000, the
Presbyterians nearly $4,000, the Congre-
gationalists more than 10000 and the
Episcopalians about $500.
The accession of new members ives even
larger than these figures, since in every
denomination there were deaths of men,
bers whose places were filled by new ac-
QUESTIONS. The number of deaths in the
Methodist Episcopal body, for instance,
was reported at 2S,S00.
This is highly satisfactory and en-
couraging showing to all who have the
welfare of the church at heart. A gain
Of nearly 100000 in membership in one
year, with corresponding increase in the
number of churches and ministers, indi-
Gates that Christianity is marching on
with no uncertain stride. AS our con-
temporary well says, at is in itself a
most overwhelming refutation of the as
sertions we hear now and then from vari-
Gus quarters that Christianity is losing its
hold upon our people and that our church
es are declining"

Uncle Buy Green's stories Of lincoln

"Uncle Billy" Green is one of the most
interesting of the historical characters Of
Illinois. He was born in Tennessee in
1912, in what was then Oyerton county.
He came to Illinois in 1920 with his pa
rents, who settled near old Salem, in
Menard county He met Abraham Lin
coin soon after that awkward young man
landed from the hatboat which hoated
down the Saugamon to Salem on the high
water following the deep snow Of 1881.
He was intimately associated with Lin
coin ever afterward. He says Of him :
81 thought the first time ever met Abe
Lincoln that he was the greatest man liv-
ing, and | am thankful that | lived long
enough to know that am right"
He was Lincoln's partner in the groce-
ry at Salem, and at night, when custom
ers were few, he held the grammar while
Lincoln recited his lessons. To his sym
pathetic ear Lincoln told the story Of his
love for sweet Ann Rutlidge. He saw
the happy pair strolling through the
woods about old Salem, or boating on the
river, or lingering long over the bucket
of water which Lincoln drew from the
well for Ann. He offered what comfort
he could to his friend when poor Ann
died, and Lincoln's great heart nearly
broke.
"After Ann died." says Uncle Billy,
con stormy nights, when the wind blew
the rain against the roof, Abe would set
thar in the grocery, his elbows on his
knees, his face in his hands, an tears run
min through his fingers. l hated to see
him feel so bad, an I'd say, ABE, don't
cry; an he'd look up an say, Il can't
help it, Bill; the rains a-fallin' Oil
her."
Green saw his friend rise in greatness
and favor with the people until he was
elected President Of the Nation. At Lin
coins first inaugural banquet Green sat a
the table of the Presidents left, with the
dignifed Secretary Seward on his right
Lincoln presented the two men to eacl
other, saying, Secretary Seward, this j;
Mr.. Green, of Illinois" Seward bowed
stiHIy, when Lincoln exclaimed: "Oh
get up, Seward, and shake hands viii
Green. He's the man that taught me m!
/ grammar"

4 Queer ore,c Of Mohammedans.


As soon as the sun went down Tuesday
evening torty-seven dusky sons of Hin
doostan knelt upon the deck of the good
ship Karamania and auointsd themselves
with oil, and with many gesticulations
prayed fervently to Allah to guide and
protect them in strange land.
The vessel had just arrived at Pier No.
AZ, on the Delaware river. The men are
Bengalese and Malays, and they were en-
gagged by Captain Youugia Calcutta. 1t
is the first time that such n crew has ever
been brought to Philadelphia. They
make good, steady seamcn, but they lack
the strength and endurance Of Europeans,
as well as the desire for rum and tobacco.
They are very religious and pray five
times a day They believe that if they
are good they will 60 to Paradise when
they die and have innumerable wives
The number of their hours in heaven de-
pends upon their behavior on earth, and,
therefore, they pray and call upon Allah
at every opportunity.
The Islamites are very particular about
their food. They will not eat anything
that has been killed or dressed by an in
fidel. They have their own butcher on
board. He is very intelligent Bena-
glese, his name is Nure Mohamed, and
he is called "the butler" His method of
killing sheep, oxen and fowls is to cut
their throats and then let them bleed TO
death. The men are Mortified at the
sight of pork, and they all love rice and
curry,
Every new moon they make holiday,
dress up in fine clothes, and march around
the ship, chanting passages from the KO-
ran, and calling upon the lady moon to
give them lots of wives. They are vir-
tuous on earth, and save themselves to
have good time when they get to Para
disc.
All of them are fatalists, and firmly
believe that when they get the straight tip
from Allah, by vision or otherwise, that
they must die at once Any delay would
subject them to no end of trouble in the
future life and reduce the size of their
harem. Two men received the mystic
message during the voyage and they
jumped overheard. The others envied
them and thought how they must be en-
joying themselves.
Captain Young says that he engaged
the crew in Calcutta, and he is well sat
isfed with them. The English govern
ment holds the Anchor Line responsible
for the well being and safety of the men,
and they can only be brought to Ameri-
ca because the Karamania touches Liver
pool on her journey from India. No ma
tive crews are allowed on vessels going
direct to q foreign port from India. The
Karamania brings over valuable cargo
of linseed.

Gen. Lee nicknamed himself 'Runy"
when he was baby, and his nickname
has stuck to him ever since. 1t does not
look much like him. He is a great big
fellow, as large around as his cousin, Gov
ernor Fitzhugh Lee, and much taller He
is not 80 yet, but bis hair and his mustache
are turning gray. He lives on 5000 or
4,000-acre farm down in Fairfax County,
in regular old-fashioned Virginia man.
