asked.
"No, sir, he amt got much land, Meth

The old farmer, with pleased smilr,
observed my puzzled look for moment
and then explained
"Iou see, he amt got much money,
and he amt got much land, but still he
is rich, because he never went to bed
owing any man cent in all his life. He
lives as well AS he wants to live. and he
pays as he goes; he doesn't owe any
thing, and he amt afraid of anybody

America Leads the World in
Railroad Speed.

In high speeds the United States
seems just now to hold the worlds
record. Neither England nor any other
country in the world has any trains as
fast for the distance as the Empire
State Express, running ii0 miles at 5O,7
miles an hour, including four stops; or
rs fast as the defunct Exposition Flyer
of last summer, which ran 96i miles at
1872 miles an hour, including nine stops.
Among the very fast special runs we
find the pretty authentic records of per-
formances in the United States, which,
so far as | know, have not been equaled
in England since run made on the

Welded at Ten Years.

Everywhere in the East. ard especial
ly in Hindustan and Nepaul, marriages
are made at an early age. Parents con-
tract for the wedding of their children
while they are yet but little boys and
girls, and neither the boy nor the girl
have any voice in the matter. They are
simply coupled with all the ceremony
and eXtravagant display that the parents
on both sides can afford, and then the
poor little things go back to their homes,
to be nursed and petted and trained un-
til they are old enough to have home
of their own. Thus this little King of
Nepaul, The eighth royal Ghoorka who
had come to the throne, was married
when he was ten years old to baby
princess half his age, chosen for him
from one of the royal families of north
ern India. Nor did it ever occur TO the
prime minister, or the priests, or
the astrologers or the match-makers,
that either the bridegroom or the bride
had anything whatever to do with the
business.
But the wedding was perfectly "splen-
did. \ picturesque concourse OF
Asiatic guests, with sprinkling of
European strangers, was gathered in the
pAvilious and rotundas of the palace,
and there was profuse distribution of
pretty souvenirs and gifts among them.
Every one received something nose
gay of rare Eastern flowers embematic
of happiness and joy, a miniature phal
of altar of roses, little silver flask of
delicate perfume, dainty scarf or hand
kerchief sprinkled with rose water, a
curious fan, a fantastic toy Of ivory. a
lacquer box. And then came the little
king-alone of course, for an oriental
bride must not be exposed to the public
gaze-borne on a silver litter curtained
in orange and purple satin, embroidered
with gold, hung with massive bullion
fringe. Seated on a great cushion OF
cloth piled with shawls of Cashmere and
Canton. he was borne around the ro-
tunda. luminous vision of flashing Jew
els, and musical murmur of tiny bells,
from his plumed helmet to his slippers.
And when he had made his royal
salaam. or salutatiOn, to the guests and
departed. the tamasha began--that Is
the grand show and the glorious fun;
the nautch maidrns, or dancing girl,
the musicians and jugglers, the glass
eaters and sword wallowers, the Mutt
gipsies, who are wonderful gymuasts
aud acrobats, and the Bhootyan wrest-
lers from the mountains. NiedoiaS
