A new modern dining car costs from
$4,000 to $4,000, according to the elegance
of it's fittings. The kitchen utensils and
table furniture for a single car cost $500
the wares necessary being of the finest
quality, usually Of Haviland brand. Then
for silver ware-knives. forks spoons, tea
pots, sugar bowls, milk pitchers and other
accessories-a single car requires $1,000
worth. Next come the linens. If there is
any one thing which a dining car must
never be without it Is clean linens If a
drop of coffee touches a tablecloth or nap
kin DOYLE a change is necessary, and
so it is with everything in the line of
linens. Hence, with a train travelling 1000
miles at forty miles an hour-there being
no laundry attachment as yet-the washing
and ironing of linens while under way is
out of the question. AS an Illustration of
this cloth consideration the appended ex-
hibit and the regular outfit on a diner will
be found Of interest.
For single car the list Is as follows
Tablecloths. 300; napkins 500; medium
sized doylies. 100; small doylies 75; extra
small doylies. so; cooks jackets, 60; cook s.
aprons, 70: caps for cooks 50: jackets for
walters, 75; aprons for walters, 100; glass

Cost, $500.
Thus we have a total cost so far of from
81, 900 to $4,000 per cara sufficient sum
to fit and equip an elaborate cafe in any
large city. To this sum must be added an
average Of 800 per month for the loss by

the form of her husband quite at
ease. He never begins the converse
ton, but waits until his wife speaks.
She told me that she did not doubt
that he frequently sat there a long
time before she noticed him, as she
often became SO interested in books
or sewing that she never thought of
her surroundings. When one once
becomes interested in spiritualism,
the dread of ghostlike forms becomes
unknown. lido not know a spiritualist

Frans HAS Visitor.
- Blaise Pascal

A story is told of a visit paid to
Frans Halls, the famous old Dutch
painter, by Vandyke. The latter
was then 22, Halls Is years his senior.
As a pleasantly Vandyke suppressed
his name, announcing himself as a
wealthy stranger who wished to sit
for his portrait, but who had only a
couple of hours to spare. Halls fell to
with his usual impetuosity and COM
pleted a portrait for the sitter's in
spection in even less than the limited
time, much to the satisfaction of the
latter, who expressed an astonish-
ment not altogether feigned at the
speed of its execution.
Surely" said he, painting is an
easier thing than / thought. Sup
pose we change places and see what
1 can do" The exchange was made.
Halls instantly detected that the per
son before him was no stranger to
the brush. He speculated in vain as
To who he might he. But when the
second portrait was finished in still
less time than the first the mystery
was solved. Rushing to his guest, he
clasped him in a fraternal embrace.
''The man who cane do that, he cried,
must be either Vandyke or the

THE LONELINESS OF DEATH.

The silent chariot standeth at the door;
None heard the sound of its mysterious wheels
Yet each its presence feels.
No c~hamping bit, no tramp of paving steed;
All dark and silent up and down the street
And yet thou mayst not keep IL waiting there
For one last kiss OF prayer.
Thy words. with some strange other inter
changed,
Strike cold across us like loved eyes estranget
With things that are not fraught, or thing
that are
Fade like "A sun struck star.
And thou. too weak and agonized TO lift
The cup To qucnch thy dying thirst or shift
Thy pillows. now without our help must rise
Nor wait our ministries
Thou. loved and cherished, must go forth alone
None see thee fondly to the door, not one.
No head is turned to SEE thee go: we stay
Nhee thou art not and pray.
No panel bars thy white, resistlessf feet;
Our walls are mist To thee; out on the street
IL waits, IL waits for thee. for thee alone.
Arise, let us begone.
Alone, alone upon thine awful way!
Do any show thee Kindness, any stay
Thy heart, or does the silent charioteer
Whisper. "Be of good cheerf"
We know not; none may follow thee afar.
None hear the sound Of thy departing car.
Only vast silence, like n strong black sea,
Rolls on 'twiXt me and thee.

The ..CrueI PIant."

In one of the papers of the Cana
dian institute 1 find two excellent ar
ticles upon a species of cannibalistic
plant, known to the residents of the
tropical portions of America as the
''cruel weed" or stranger" The
scientific name of this botanic oddi-
ty is Physianthus albens, and it is in
digenous only to the western hemi-
sphere. The flowers of this queer
plant are provided with five pairs of
jaws, which + SO arranged as to
quickly close upon the ~proboscis or
head of any unsuspecting moth or
other insect which may attempt to
extract honey from the blossom. To
make sure of its prey this cruel flow
er holds fast as long as the insect
struggles, slowly releasing its grasp
as soon as the writings of the dying
creature cease.
According to the botanists, it be-
longs to the milkweed family 0ribe
or order of asclepiads). The flowers
are pure white and very fragrant
and much like the tuberose in gener-
al appearance. Those who may wish
to know more about this curiosity
