six weeks. Judge of my surprise when

You should write him a scathing let
ter, print a highly abusive editorial at
the same time, and then attack him with
brass knucks on the following evening.
1t has been held by the supreme courts of
Massachusetts and Nebraska that a
weekly or daily notice of a theatre or
railroad is cumulative, and entities
the noticer to the aggregated increment
of cumulative notices. For example, if
q paragraph soothing to a railroad be
good for a pass, a repetition of the sooth-
ing paragraph would entitle the noticer
to still another pass and so on. There
fore if you had chosen to remain at home
all the year, and mention the theatre
regularly and in a friendly way daily,
you would be entitled at the end of the
year to what might be called a Wau-
shara day at the theatre, with souvenirs.
You could also have the house perfumed
with crab apple blossom, and soft voiced
ushers would come and batne your heat
ed temples.
Now, knowing the law and your rights
in the case, nothing remains for you to
do but to attack the manager and make
him wish that he had reconsidered the
matter before he had so rashly consented

T. d. @, Amherst, Mass, writes to
know CD what is the fastest railroad time
made in America. ,. Also whether il is
proper for a wife in the absence of her
husband TO kill hen for dinner, and
whether it does not coarsen one to do SO.
1. The fastest time made for one mile
so far as l know was 504 seconds; Edward
Osmond, engineer. The fastest ten miles
was made on the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern by a locomotive conveying
a fire engine to Sing Sing; time, s min
utes. 1t was done in February, 1874.
The fastest time for III miles was made
in 1891: time, IS minutes. 1t was on
the Canada Southern, and was the occa-
sion of the conveying of Mr.. w. H. Van
derbilt, whose fippant remarks and low
estimate regarding the public were the
cause of the deepest shame and sorrow
on the part of the public.
,. A woman may or may not kin a
hen, as she may deem proper, Mr.. Meal
lister SAYS. but she should not mutilate
it through tenderness of heart. / once
knew of a beautiful society lady who
lost her husband 10y death. He caught
cold while sitting up at night in a neg

home from one Of the Patriarch balls in
New York. He died quite suddenly,
