TESTING FAST LOCOMOTIVES
One of the Pennsylvania's Make Does .
Mile In EortY-SeYen Seconds

-
Mile In Forty-Seven Seconds.
New YORK. Oct. 31.-For the pur-
pose of discovering what style of ma
chine would be best adapted for haul
ing fast trains to the worlds fair next
year, four locomotives of the Pennsyl-
wanna railroad recently made a mile ON
the Jersey meadows. The engines
were from different parts of the sys-
tenn between New York and
Pittsburg. Each engine drew two
cars. They started from the
terminal station at Jersey City. The
Baldwin compound and the Johnny
Bull, an English engine, mad demon
strated their utility as drawers of
heavy trains, but did not show up so
well on speed for mile, as they COW
cred the distance in 63 and 65 seconds
respectively. The Schnectaday engine
dio the mile in just 50 seconds. which
is equal to - miles an hour. This
was considered good time, but the
Pennsylvania's own No. 81, made in her
own shops, did better, doing the mile
in A. seconds.

By exercising care in selecting and
handling the fruit, both grapes and
pears can be kept for Il long time, at
least until after the holidays, says the
0. j. Farmer. The most important
item is to use only sound specimens
There is no advantage gained in using
bruised or partially decayed fruit, for
it will cause the sound to decay more
quickly. Select the largest lunches of
grapes and lay them out separately
for a day or so, &c partially cure, cult
ing away any berries that are in the
least damaged. Use Sawdust for pack
ing, putting Il layer first, then Il layer
of grapes, followed by another of saw
dust and SO on until the box is full
Set the boxes where they will keep
very cool but not freeze. "A great deal
depends upon even temperature.
Pears will keep in n much warmer
place, but like grapes, the temperature
must be uniform. Take perfectly sound
pears, not too ripe, for even quite
green ones will ripcn nicely in this
way. Spread them out one layer deep
in shallow boxes or drawers. Wrapp-
ing each separately in paper will help
to preserve them. Keep dark, but
above all keep the temperature even.
The constant changing from warm to
cold and vice versa is the main cause
of decaying.

EMORIAL TREES.

Among Them is One Planted by Washing
ton in the Last Century.
One of the most prominent among
the memorial trees at Washington is
one planted by our first President be-
fore the dawn of this century. This
is a large American elm on the north
side of what is called the East Park,
facing the Senate entrance to the
capitol Another very interesting tree
is Il plane tree, which was planted in
1862 in the Botanic Garden Enclosure
by Thaddeus Stevens. In 1870 this
tree was threatened with destruction
by the overflow of the Potomac, and
was removed bodily to Lincoln Park,
fifteen squares distant.

'You mean the left" said a man
with a very thin voice.

A crowd Of fifty people had gathered
and now the driver got down and
looked the ground over. One wheel
was down in rut. He stood looking
at it, his hand on the horses hip, and
everybody around him rendering him
advice, when a couple Of sailors came

Both seized wheel for a lift, the

tiyate, purify, make us more capable
of approaching the work of God and
the best works of man, and whatever

Do something.

Phillips Brooks: You can not set the
world right, or the times, but you can
do something for tie truth, and all
you can do will certainly tell if the
work YOU do is for the Master, who
gives you your share, and SO the bur-
ben of responsibility is lifted off. This
assurance makes peace, satisfaction
and repose possible even in the partial
work done upon earth. Go to the man
who Is carving a stone for a building;
ask him where is that stone going, to
what part Of the temple, and how is
he going to get it in its place; and
what does he do? He points you TO
the builders plans. This is only one
stone of many. So, when men shall
ask where and how is your little
achievement going into Gods great
plan, point them to the Master, who
keeps the plans, and then go on doing
your little service as faithfully as Ii
the whole temple We're yours to build.

Of cardboard. The secret consists in
keeping the glass, the shears and the

The glass can be cut in straight or

This is because the water deadens the

If the least part of the shears comes out
