Pennsylvania Railroad Time.

There was time when folks used to
set their watches by the town clock.
Nowadays the railway timepiece seems
to set the pace There is SO much travel
ing and SO many have to catch trains
that men try to keep railroad time.
Few think, however, how difficult it
is to keep that same railroad time
straight. A bad watch or false time,
even to the extent of minute or two,
might easily involve the destruction of
a train and many lives. Conductors
and engineers not only must have good
time keeping watches, but they must
have very accurate standard of time
to go by. All clocks vary, but most
clocks vary too much for railroad &C.
curacy.
All over the great Pennsylvania sys-
tenn the clocks are regulated every "a
hours by telegraph from Altoona, where
they get the standard time in seconds
from Washington. The conductors and
engineers running out Of Philadelphia
get their time from the clock in the TO-
tunda at the Broad street station, the
big one i'll the center just outside the
waiting room, which occupies the same
position in the new station that it did
in the old This clock, which cost over
$4OO, is considered a wonder and in the
old station seldom varied more than
two seconds in the "a hours. 1t has not
been doing quite SO well since taken
down and put up again, but is improv-
ing and is SO much bette than any 9TH
er clock known that nobody thinks of
changing it, and i'll all probability i'll a
little while, when it gets accustomed to
its position and surroundings, it will
come as near perfect accuracy as it ever
has in its history. -Philadelphia Times.

Each In Turn Assumed the Aggressive In

There were three of us i'll wagon

forded the sloughs that during the sea
son of high water i'll the Yellowstone
cut off the approaches to the bridge, the
water filing the wagon box and taking
the horses almost off their feet at times
in the swirl of the current. One of the
dogs from the hotel Joined us on terra

fighting qualities. He was trotting along
on the road few rods ahead Of the
horses when there came Looping across
the open country big coyote, making

Away went the dog, and after him
the wolf. The dog made a stand and
took nip at the wolf. Then the wolf
ran, and the dog pursued, but as soon as
the dog had overtaken his enemy he
changed his mind about attacking him
and turned back Now the wolf gained
courage and took up the chase, running
the yellow cur clear up to the porch Of
the hotel at the springs. The party in
the team got good deal Of fun out of
the novel turn about hunt.
Mendenhall, the landlord, whipped
up the team, and we bounced along at a
tremendous pace, shouting, $50 it,

yelled encouragement to Stub, the dog,
but Stub had no mind for tussle with

hills. "What things fellow will see
when he hasn't his gun with him!' re-

The Kaiser's Eayorite Dish.

The German kaiser and kaiserin
usually breakfast and dine with 30 to
60 friends They call that ''home''
luncheon or dinner. The cuisine is half
English and half German, and meats
are always served in great variety, as
the kaiser is great meat eater. Ger
man champagne is furnished with soup,
Moselle and Rhine wine follow and then
Burgundy and Heidsick Royal with the
dessert.
The latter is a special brand manu-
featured expressly for his majesty,
who has always from 5000 to 10000
quarts Of it in his cellars. The kaiser S
favorite dish is Vienna roast beef, or
pot roast. Whenever he visits at a
house, his court marshal asks the host to
place this dish OH the menu. The
kaiser's menu is always in German
script except when foreigners are in
vited who do not speak the language.
The kaiser keeps no pastry cook. All
pastries for the schloss are furnished by
caterer in Inter den Linden.
The Empress Frederick's cuisine has
never excited the enthusiasm Of gour-
NETS. It is neither English nor French
nor German. Her majesty is inordinate-
~ fond of cream, which is added to
most dishes on her table. Purees and
pastries are much liked-New York

Growing walking STICKS.

The cultivation of material for walk
ing sticks is carried Oh in quite an ex-
tensive scale i'll some parts of Europe,
and special attention is often paid to
making the roots grow into shapely
forms for handles. While in London last
year I went in to manufacturing es-
tablishment, the floor space of which
covers nearly an acre. This concern has
storehouses filled with native and for
eign sticks, from which stock is drawn
as wanted for the shops. The sticks as
they grow are often very crooked and
have to be Strengthened. A heap of sand
is piled on the top Of a hot stove, into
which the sticks are plunged until they
become pliable. The workman takes the
crooked stick while it is yet hot and
inserts it in notch cut in stout board,
placed at an angle inclined from him,
where he bends and strains it. When it
has become perfectly straight, it is
thrown down to cool, after which it be-
comes rigid and permanent in its lines.
The same power which makes a crooked
stick straight is applied to. make a
straight one crooked. All the various
kinds of sticks that are required to be
curled Or twisted are, by the application
of heat, made to assume almost any
shape or form. Louis Globe Demo

Algol, the Mystery of the Skies.

Algol, "the variable star of the CON
stellation of Parseus," is regarded
among astronomers as the greatest 1nys-
terry Of the heavens. Its light usually
remains constant and uniform for a
period of from 4S to 60 hours. 1t then
commences to gradually fade from view,
and in less than four hours diminishes
to an Insignificant point Of light. After
remaining in a state of semiobscuration
for period Of time, varying from Is to
80 minutes, it again regains its former
brillianey. Astronomers believe that
some large dead and dark world regolves
between us and Algol, but this is the
disputed point, a mystery which will,
in all probability, never be satisfactorily
explained. Louis Republic
