copyright, 1894. by Edgar W. Nye.1
Recently have had the pleasure OF
reading book, written by an English
visitor on America, which seems TO be
a painstaking work On the part Of the
author, and yet owe it to my readers
and fellow citizens TO correct some OF
the evident misunderstanding contain
ed in it.
Of course we joke Chicago about the
size of her feet and Philadelphia about
being slow, but it never occurred to Us
to think that our English brothers and
sisters would take the matter seriously.
For instance, the writer says: MANY
time in America have l been conscious
Of that pang and shudder which are felt
only in the presence of hatred, and l
question whether the enmity between
the British and the Americans at the
most exasperating crisis of the war could
ever have been more intense than some

Gambling In Russin.

In no part of the world has gam,
bling developed to such an extent as
in Russia. Like an epidemic it has
seized upon the higher class of So
ciety, chiefly the nobility and persons
Of leisure, who stake and lose large
fortunes on games of chance, utterly
regardless of consequences. Every
elegantly appointed home has it's
billiard and card rooms, and in the
latter as many as fifteen tables may
be found occupied at one time; in
deed, the play is frequently continued
all through the night, until daylight
warns the excited people that 1t is
time to cease
Gambling in Russia Is not con-
fined to the male sex alone, for ladies
constantly visit the clubs, and are
quite as reckless in their play as the
father, husband, or brother who ac-
companies them. During the excite
ment OF gambling persons of both
sexes indulge in cigarette smoking,
and it is quite amusing to see how
deftly ladies will prepare and roll the
little comforters. The Lenten season
is particularly happy time for the
indulgence Of this pastime, as balls
and many other forms Of gaiety are
then prohibited.

SCRAP IRON.
Railroads Gather 1t Together to BE Sold
In Plttsburg and Elsewhere.

Railroads Gather 1t Together to he Sold
In Plttsburg ana Elsewhere.
Nothing goes to waste on a big
railroad, and every scrap Of iron and
much secondhand material is valued
at a fixed price and carried on the
books as so much stock on hand. The
system followed by the storekecper's
department of one railroad is a sam
pie of many. The secondhand met
ais are gathered and placed in piles,
regularly assorted. Then they are
classified by the foreman and taken
into stock by the storekeeper or as
sistant. There are regular schedules
--one of material which can be used
again, which is denomlnated second
hand" and another Of material which
has to be melted before 1t can be
used, which is known as SCRAP"
The classes are arranged something
after the following order; Steel scrap,
Nos. /, 2, ), 4, 8, and 0, at prices
ranging from S2S a ton down;
wrought iron, Nos. |, 2, 3, and 4.
Even borings are taken into account,
brass borings being credited at 8
cents per pound and brass scrap and
copper at IL.
This material Is shipped to division
headquarters when a carload has &C
cumulated. Here it is disposed of
by the storekeeper on order Of his
chief, being shipped in carloads to
big dealers in old metals in large
cities. Much of itgoes to Plttsburg,
Cincinnati, and such points. Orders
for as high as 500, 900 pounds Of one
kind of material are occasionally re-
ceived from single firms.
Most of the secondhand material
is used over again in the shops, but
it is previously taken on the books at
a fixed price by the storekeeper and
is charged up to the account Of the
articles for which 1t is used. All usa-
Bile No. l wrought iron is received
and charged up l / cents pound, and
cast iron at cent.--Philadelphla

The childlike longshoreman of the
antipodes, opining that the egg had
q value, showed the unusual piece OF
fotsam about with a view to sale,
and 1t thus came into the hands OF
Mr., Proctor. The egg, which is
whity-brown in color and unbroken,
is fine specimen, 334 by % inches,
and an even higher value is placed
upon it than upon the egg of the
great aux, which lived within the
memory of man, The Brobdingna.
gian proportions Of the egg are bet
ter demonstrated by comparison with
the eggs Of the ostrich and crocodile.
An ostrich's egg is about II by Is
inches, and the contents Of six such
are only equal to one egg of the
Hpyornis. The measurements of the
eggs Of the crocodile are normally
8 inches by 81 inches. 1t would re-
quire the contents of sixteen and one

ENGLISH THE woRLD-sPEEcH.
The German Favor the General Study OF
the Coming Language.

The German Favor the General Study Of
the Coming Language.
In an article on the Importance Of
introducing into the schools the study
Of a universal language (Weltsprache).
which recently appeared in the Preus-
sische Jahrbuecher, Dr. Schroer adj
yocates making the study Of English
obligatory, not necessarily to the ex-
cluslon of the classical tongues, but
at least in conjunction with them.
''This," he says, sis not a question
of taste or rivalry between the mod
ems ana the ancients' 1t is simply
historical necessity" The learned
professor properly condemns all at
tempts, however scientific, to con-
struct an artificial world-speech-like
Volapuk. In his opinion a language
which possesses neither literature,
historical development nor linguistic
relations can never serve as a medium
Of general communication for the
reason that no one will take the
trouble to acquire it, merely as a
"tool Of trade" until 1t becomes uni
versal. Such attempts, however, are
not only atmlesss because they can
never obtain the general consent Of
mankind, but they are needless, for
there already exists a universal Ian
guage--i O., language which, by
its spread over the whole earth, and
by the ease with which it may be
learned, has gained such long step
in advance that neither natural nor
artificial means can deprive 1t of its
assured position as the future medium
Of international intercourse. And
this language is the English,
Prof Schroer Is careful TO warn his
readers not to set their aim too high,
for to learn to speak and write
fluently and correctly a language
which holds SO high a place In the
scale of culture and refinement as the
English is difficult; but for the aver
age man this Is not necessary for
even the average Englishman has but
limited command OF his mother
tongue, and the daily intercourse OF
life requires but small and easily
acquired vocabulary. This is true of
every language, but the absence Of
puzzlng genders and infections and
syntactical forms renders the English
easy in comparison with others.
'"Ihe English language" concludes
Prof. Schroer, "is the world-speech,
and will, to all appearance, become
more and more so every year"
During the present century the En-
glish-speaklng population Of the
world has increased nve-fold, from
possibly Is, 100000 at its beginning
to at least 1876, co., 000 No other
language has ever been so rapidly de-
veloped, no fact In civil history Is
more significant than this. In every
quarter Of the world English Is the
conquerlng tongue. The wide spread
OF the British colonial system, the
marvellous growth of the United
States and the facility with which II
absOrbs every foreign element bear
witness to this great fact, and our
cousins In Germany are of too prac-
tical turn Of mind to be Jealous Or
torgetful Of it, Baltimore Sun.

Disastrous Tornadoes.

The first tornado recorded in Ameri.
ca dates back to the May of 1851.
South Carolina was the district then
afflicted. In 1910 a tornado struck
Natchez, Miss, tearing houses into
fragments, killing 317 people, carrying
some Of them long distances through
tie air, seriously injuring 100 9TH
ers, sinking between sixty and
seventy vessels, flooding the city
to the depth OF foot, and passing
off within four minutes from the in
slant that it made its first appearance.
In 1912 another tornado visited
Natchez with even more disastrous re-
suits, leaving behind it upon this oc-
casion between four and five hundred
dead.
For nearly forty years there was
cessation of these visitations, namely,
until April 10, 1880, when Marshfeld,
in Ozark Township, the capital Of
Webster County, Mo-, was totally de-
stroyed by cyclone that struck it and
left it in five minutes. At that time
Marshfeld had q population Of 655
only, but it was an enterprising town,
with an unusually large number Of
houses for its population. After the
cyclone had passed, 100 Of its popula-
tion had been killed and Of the re-
naming 555 every Individual was Sc
riously injured.
Previous to the experience Of q
week ago, the most destructive lorna
do the United States has experienced
was probably that which struck Louis
vile, KY, and the neighboring States
on the afternoon Of March q, $780,
The tornado, accompanied by ter
rife rain, entered the city OF Louis
vile at one side, passed through, leav-
ing it at the opposite side, and in It's
wake two square miles Of PROSTATE
buildings, one hundred dead, and
vast amount of suffering.

TRIALS OF MoroRMEN.
1t Looks Easy Enough to Run a Gar bu,
IL IL Not,

1t Looks Easy Enough to Run Car but
IL IL Not,
To one who has never tried Ii, moth
ing seems simpler than running an
electric Car. There are a good many
simpler things, however, and as a
matter Of fact some men who want
jobs as mortormen on the street rail-
way have to give up because they
cannot learn to handle the car In
the first place, considerable strength
is required to manipulate the brake
properly, and In the next place there
is a peculiar motion turning the
brake handle one way and the crank
for shutting off the power the other
way at the same time that 1t is not
easy to learn. The local railroad has
no regular school for training the
men who aspire TO run electra cars,
but they have q regular system Of
teaching the recruits the businss, and
every new man has to 90 through a
certain line Of training before he Is,
allowed to take charge Of Car.
When man applies for position
as motorman he Is placed on the
waiting list, and when the company
begins to get little short of men
and his turn comes round he Is sent
for and put on car with one of the
experienced men. For about two
days he stands on the front of the
platform of the car and watches the
driver manipulate the brake and turn
the current on and off. After he has
learned this and become familiar
with all the curves and switches he
is allowed to try his hand at running
the car The first thing he does af-
ter the car starts is to get nervous
and wonder how long 1t will take him
to bring 1t to standstill after
passenger has s'gnaled that he wants
to get off. He begins TO sweat, and
before a Car has gone half mile he
is played out and Is glad to give up to
his teacher This goes on for about
a day ortwo until the new man gets
a tile confidence, and then he
gradually learns the trick of stopping
the car so quickly that it will bring
the passengers to their feet
In addition to this he is obliged to
gain a sufficient knowledge of the
construction Of the motor to be able
to repair slight breaks and put In
burned out fuses. It is usually about
two weeks before he is competent to
take charge Of car alone and even
then he can learn something more
about running enc every day.

Then Mr.. Clements took her hand
and led her forward; in his heart he
felt that it was a lonely coming home
for her, with no friend, no relative, no
mother or sister to meet her on the
threshold of her new life, and bid her
"God-speed."
He took her hand and led her to
whore the June sunbeams fell on her.
Lady Charnleigh bids me thank
you," he said, for the welcome you
have given her; and she bids me say
that the nearest and dearest interest
in her heart will be yours.
Heaven do to me US do to them,
he heard her say, gently. Then she
smiled and bowed with a grace that
seemed all her own, and the great
doors were thrown open,
Again Mr., Clements was master Of
the ceremonies. The housekeeper,
Mrs. Fearon, made her most respectful
salutation to Lady Charnleigh, and men,
toned her long years Of service. Lady
Charnleigh held out her hand with a
smile, and SO won her heart forever.
Then the butler, Mr.. Clarkson, came
forward, and received the gracious
words with which the new mistress of
Grown Leighton inaugurated her reign.
] thank you for your welcome, she
said, In voice as clear and sweet as
the sound of silver bell 81 am quite
sure you will all do your duty to me,
and l. in return, will do mine to you. "
After which little lmpromptu speech
there was not servant in Crown

down their life for the kindly young
countess

CHAPTER VII.

On this bright June morning Grown
Leighton seems to be wearing its fair
est dress. For six long months the
place has been dreary and desolate,
given up to the rule of servants, UNI
cared for save by those whose care was
hired. All was different to-day; from
roof to basement the grand old man
sion had been set in perfect and pic
turesque order. There was no trace of
confusion; the flowers were all bloom
ing, the birds singing, the fountains
throwing up their silvery spray, the
long white lace hangings drawn aside,
and the sumptuous rooms filled with
warmth and fragrance.
Flags and banners waved over the
tall ancestral trees, bands of music
were stationed in the park, the bells of
Leighton church rang out with jubi-
liant music such as had not sounded
from the old gray spire for many q
year.
The tenantry, the numerous bands of
laborers, the poor dependents and pen
sioners, the large household of Crown
Leighton, were all assembled to well
come the young countess home.

with her was to coIhe Lady Fanshawe,
q distant cousin of the late earls
mother, stately aristocratic dame,
who for the family'S sake had consented
to live as duenna and chaperon with
the young countess.
Orders had been given to prepare
rooms for three ladies', the third being
Miss Templeton, whose affection for
her once despised governess-pupi had
reached such a height that she could
not bear to be parted from her, and had
accepted an invitation to attend Lady
Charnleigh on her triumphal coming
home.
The June sun was pouring down q
food of rich golden noontide light, in
,cense seemed to rise from the fragrant
flowers, and the bells were pealing mer-
rily, when the delighted crowd first
caught sight OF the carriage. 1t was
driven slowly along perhaps Mr..
Clements he'd ordered it, that the eyes
of the people might dwell with delight
on the lovely face of the young girl.
Then well-trained servants came to
the carriage-door and opened it. AS
the young girl descended there arose
another ringing cheer, the bells peal
ed out afresh, the music came in
strong, sweet waves OF sound.
welcome home-welcome, Lady
Charnleigh!" the people shouted, and
she stood quite still on the broad stone
step. Her face had grown pale with
emotion, but there was no sign of weak
ness or Of tears.

A Drummer Boy in 1910.

William H. Graham, who died the
other day in Newcastle County, Del,
at the age Of 92, was a drummer boy
in the war Of 1912, and as a black
smith he helped to put together the
parts of the first locomotive engine
used on the old Newcastle and French
town Railroad, one Of the earliest
railways in the United States. The
locomotive was imported in pieces
from England add put together at
Newcastle under the eye Of skilled
machinist.

The sun was shining brilliantly over
the blue sea and the white rocks Of
Malta. The day was warm and sultry,
the air heavy with the scent OF flowers
and the odor Of the sea. It was day
when work is a toll and idleness a
pleasure, Two gentlemen were seated
on ledge of rock overlooking the
heaving waters.
Il never could bear much heat, said
one of them, Major St. John; y hope
our regiment will not be ordered TO
India. l would rather go to the North
Pole"
"All places are alike to me-" observed
his companion, Captain Paul Flemyng,
serenely, "and all climates the same. "
IL could be as calmly Indifferent il
had the prospect of an earldom with u
good many thousand per annum. Phil
osophy, under such circumstances, is
no virtue"
Il am not at all sure Of my prospects, +"
commented Capt. Flemyng; "they seem
very uncertain. At any time | may
hear that some one has been discovered
whose claims are nearer than mine;
then there will be long farewell to all
my greatness.
He could not have spoken more in
differently had the subject been one
foreign to his interest. Maj. st. John
laughed,
"You do not seem very anxious about
1t, he said,
The dark, handsome face flushed,
and then grew pale; light cleaned in
the dark eyes, and then died away.
DO not misjudge me, he rejoined.
Grown Leighton Is a grand inherit
ance; Charnleigh Is a glorious name.
II they should both be mine, no man
would be prouder Of them. | would
live so as to do honor to them. would
make good and noble use of the vast
wealth intrusted to me. But, II they
are not to be mine, l cheerfully forego
them"
We'll, from my heart I wish you
success. I hope I may greet you one
day as Lord Charnleigh, Of Crown
Leighton. Testing apart, they will
not find one more worthy Of the name. ;"
"Thank you," said Captain Flemyng,
gravely; "a noble name should make o
noble man.
