Faster Trains to Come.

That the speed of passenger trains in
this country is destined to rapidly in
crease in the near future seems certain.
There is nothing in railroading that rem
ders such large and quick returns to the
management as catering to the wants
and desires of the travelling public.
Nothing so fully exemplities this as the
immense change that has taken place in
the past five years in the equipment OF
through express trains from the seaboard
to the west and southwest.
The luxury and comfort that can to-
day be obtained on one of the many
limited trains passing over any of the
great trunk lines is in strong contrast
to what was furnished five or six years
ago, and it would seem that there was
not much room for further improvement
in that direction. What the public are
now seeking, and what will certainly be
furnished, is fast time: and that this is
appreciated by railroad managers is well
evidenced by the large sums that are
now being spent to perfect the roadways
of the more important lines.-Scribner's

A Clean of Sunshine.

I stood in the great courtyard of Sing
Sing prison two days before the famous
escape of Roehl and Pallister. The genial
keeper had shown us everything and ev-
erybody of the hundreds of prisoners
save the fatal five in the condemned
cells. We had seen the workshops, the
dining room, the tiny sleeping apart
ments, the chapel painted by convict's
pencil with scenes from the ''Prodigal
Son." As we turned to go away the at
tendant called to me:
"Look yonder."
There was little girl, the daughter OF
an official of the prison, surrounded by
three men in stripes. How they kissed
her innocent face and almost worshiped
her as she stood among them with tho
sunlight playing around her slender
form! ,s
s'Strange thing, sir. but these fellows
do so love children said the keeper.
IF we only let them play where the
prisoners can zee them, they will watch
them by the hour and spend days in
making little toys for them. Ay," con-
tinu(n he, land robins, mice, rats, any
thing alive, they will catch, tame and
cherish"
The scene in the grim, gaunt prison
was fascinating one.- As the great iron
gate changed behind US I turned and
looked again. The group was still there,
gilded by the April sunlight. New York

The Tall Grass Of Yucatan.

The sisal grass of Yucatan is one OF
the most remarkable vegetable products
known. It grows in long blades. some
times to the length Of four or five feet,
and when dry the blade curls up from
side to side, making q cord which Is
stronger than any cotton string OF equal
size that has ever been manufactured.
It is in great demand among florists and
among manufacturers Of various kinds
of grass goods, but as soon as its valua-
BILE properties become known it will
have thousand uses which are now
undreamed Of. Ropes, cords, lines Of
any description and any size may be
manufactured of it, and ships cable
of sisal grass is one Of the possibilities
of the future. It is almost impervious
to the action of salt water, and is not
readily decayed or disintegrated by
moisture and heat, and win in time
prove one of the most valuable produc-
tions of Central America.-St. Louis

" rest on the laurels he won as a record
breaker in 1647, when his son was born, but
the particular record he is trying to smash
now is that of his own father, who lived to
be 1OS years old, and as he is now 80 and
hale and hearty it looks as if he were in
fair way to do it.
He recently travelled alone from Port HUI
ron to his sons home at Menlo Park, N. j.,
and five years ago when in France walked
the entire distance between Paris and Yer
sailles. He thinks nothing Of walking 10
miles today and gets angry if any one offers
to assist him in any way and will not have
it that he is old at all. In his younger
days he was great athlete, and when he
was 60 years old he outjumped every man
in the Twenty-second Michigan regiment.
He tried to sustain his reputation as q
jumper when he was 76 by springing from
a train that did not stop at Menlo Park
and was quite crestfallen because he got a
little scratched.

height, trimming over with good humor,

Cementing the Russian EMPIRE
The car of Russia shows undoubted
sagacity in adopting the best physical
means to hold together his vast empire.
He has pushed the transcaspian military
railway southeastward until it has al
most reached the frontiers of British In
dia and China, the two powers most
likely to dispute with him the acquisition
of further dominion in Central Asia.
Having thus assured the safety of the
Russian position in the southeast, he has
undertaken q more stupendous work in
beginning the construction of an I'M
broken line of railway to connect Eu-
ropean Russia with q port on the Pacific
ocean. The whole length Of the Asiatic
or main Siberian line is 4,000 miles.
The estimated COSTS $500, OOO. 600. The
work, which is now progressing from
both ends toward the center, is to be
completed in about 10 years. There Will
then be a stretch of railway, all located
upon Russian territory, about 6, 900 miles
in length, holding European Russia and
Asiatic Russia firmly together with q
continuous band of steel. Until the pro
posed railway running north and south
to connect the two Americas shall have
been built there will be nothing on earth
to rival this great stretch Of eastern and
western railway across the Russian EN-.
pire,-Omaha Bee.

Ancient Girdlea.

Ancient girdles were in some respects
like the chatelaines not long ago SO much
the rage among the ladies, but they dit
fered therefrom in being more useful,
more comprehensive in regard both to
sex and to articles worn, and when COM
pletely furnished more costly. It ia
partly for this last reason that we find
girdles bequeathed as precious heirlooms
and as valuable presents to keep the
giver's memory green after death. They
were not infrequently of great intrinsic
value. One of King Johns girdles was
wrought with gold and adorned with
gems, and that of the widow of Sir
Thomas Hungerford. bequeathed in 1904
to the mother church of Worcester,
was of green color harnessed with silver
and richly jeweled.
Not few wealthy commoners were
able to afford the luxury Of gold embel-
lished belts and were not superior to that
pardonable vanity so long as no regula-
ton prohibited them. Those who have
studied our social history will not be
surprised to learn that enactments were
passed restraining them. Edward Ill
forbade any person under the degree of
knight from wearing girdles, gilt or sill
yer, unless he should happen to be anes-.
quire of substance valued at more than
G2OO, when reasonable establishment
was tolerated. Henry w confirmed this
regulation, but it does not seem to have
been stringently enforced, for Edward ~
was cGnstrained to impose penalty OF
40 pei upoi the wives of servants and
labore1y who should have the pertinence
to aspire to be as good as their masters
spouses. Chambers journal.

WashingtOn's Cabin.

There are few buildings that attract
the admirers of Washington that have
more of interest in them than a decaying
cabin which stands alone in an old pas
ture field half mile from Berryville, in
the beautiful Shenandoah valley Of Vir-
ginia.
The old cabin was the home of Wash
ington when he was q surveyor. He
came here direct from the maternal roof
to begin the arduous and at the time
dangerous work of surveying the lands
of Thomas, Lord Fairfax, who owned
all the northern part of Virginia under
the kings patent. The work was ardu-
GUS because of the physical aspect of the
country, then a dense wilderness, and
dangerous because of the character of
the inhabitants, who were principally
Indians or scarcely less wild trappers or
squatters upon his lordship's domain.
Washington had been selected by the
nobleman because of his belief in the
youths ability to cope with these ele-
ments early in 1748, just after the COM
pletion of his sixteenth year, his only
companion being George William Fair
fax, nephew of old Lord Thomas.
Whether these boys erected the build
ing or found it already IN place history
does not state, but well authenticated
tradition says that they built it them
selves. That they used it for an Office,
kept their instruments there and slept
in the upper room there is ample proof.
