Trolley Chr SDeed.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
There is in the public mind a confusion of
ideas to the speed of electric street cars.
Two inexpert observers guessing at this
speed will rarely come within miles of the
correct estimate. Yet it is possible for any
body, by a simple calculation, to arrive at
very nearly accurate information An cleo
trio car going at the rate of mile an hour
travals So feet in minute. At two miles an
hour it makes twice that distance in min
ute or 1T6 feet At three miles an hour the
distance travelled in minute is three times
IS, or 264 feet.
This distance of 264 feet is about the length
of an average city block. If it takes a car a
minute to go a block the rate of speed is
three miles an hour. If the car goes two
blocks in minute the rate is about six
miles an hour. Three blocks in minute
means nine miles an hour. Four blocks in 4
minute indicates a speed of about twelve
miles an hour. At five blocks In minute a
car is going fifteen miles an hour. When
six blocks traVersed in a minute the
speed is eighteen miles an hour A rate of
seven blocks in minute is speed of TWEEN
ty-one miles an hour. 1t must be under
stood that average blocks are required to
make good such estimates.

Annoying the Police.


A novel way of annoying the Paris police
has been discovered by one of the class who
look upon them as their natural enemies
Some fellow has several times pretended to
commit suicide by jumping from the Pont
Neuf, near that statue of Henri " which
has given rise to one of the most widely cur
rent French proverbial sayings. Just when
number of people are passing toward
dusk, he gets up on the parapet. says, Il am
tired of my life" and appears to jump into
the Seine. Instead of jumping into the
water. however. he falls on the parapet and
crawls along in the semi-darkness to an
other part Of the bridge, when he climbs up
and joins the crowd in order to watch the
fun" Policemen run up. boatmen make off
to the rescue, and in the midst of the hubbub
the cause of it all says what is the French
slang equivalent of Il say, aren't those bob
bies going it?'' and then runs away laugh
ing. Up to the present he has not been
caught. but the whole performance was wit
messed the last time by policeman in plain
clothes. Owing to the confusion and the
number of vehicles in the roadway, this
particularly Objectionable practical joker
was able to make his escape.

limit of the distance which ensilage corn
can be hauled at a profit and Mr.. Morton
raises 1000 tons of this fodder, which has
to be hauled an average of mile, it will
be seen very readily that Mr.. Morton is
farming for his health rather than for
profit. Mr.. Mcrtons forty-five farm hands
travel an unnecessary 1900 miles every
year SO that his friends may find the cow
barn and the famous herd of Guernsey cat
tie easily accessible.
In fact, Mr.. Morton does not run the
farm for his health. though he told me a

him good. When 1 had seen Mr.. Morton

From the Humanita rian.


AS compared with the women of other
European countries Russian women work
more and weep less. they love and they hate
in perhaps greater intensity, they marry
with more elaboration. they abide by their
choice more firmly. they exalt their mission
of motherhood more highly. and on the bear
ing and rearing of their children they lavish
all their energies of mind and body. To
have strong and healthy children, sons
strong as lions whelps, and daughters flaw
less doves, is the primary ambition of
every normal Russian woman, and in the
upper and educated classes of society she
often chooses her husband (when she has
the choice), not from passion: not from love;
not for place or riches or power, but with an
eye TO this purpose soleiy-"Will he make a
good father of my cnildren?"
In conclusion l should like to aver that the
lot of a Russian woman is a happy one,
whatever may be her class. Comparisons
are odious. but if we compare the actual po-
siton, l should say that, on the whole. the
position of Russian women was better than
that of English women, and their influence
politically and socially was greater.

WEDDING SURPRISES,

some PRESENTS That Were Not Expect
ed-Not Altogether UnwelcOme.
From the Hartford Tlm.s.
Not infrequently a marriage ceremony
has an added air of romance attached to Il
by the bride receiving from known or I'M
known source wedding present which was
quite unexpected. Ore two such au-
thentic cases have occurred during the past
year. when the lucky wedding parties were
thrown in state of great excitement as Q
result
A curiously timed present was that which
arrived at the wedding breakfast held in
honor of Lord KS marriage with Lady
M. Ten years before Lord X was q
director of company which turned out to
be a miserable failure, largely owing to the
embezzlement of great sums of money by
the manager, who escaped to Argentina
Lost sight of altogether, he was soon for
gotten, and in year or two Lord X
and his fellow directors in part recovered
from the blow. AS the wedding party sat
down to breakfast, a man servant handed
Lord X an envelope, full almost to
burst point. Opening it, the peer was
amazed TO find in it notes to the value of
tlovUo sent to him by the errant manager,
who. according to the private note accom-
panying the money, had made one two
lucky speculative hits in the Argentine.
As Lord KS wealth was not very great,
the wedding present of 100000 was an eX-
ceedingly welcome one.
Equally curious WIS the lNcl0ent winch
happened in South Lor don some time ago.
According to the newspaper reports at the
time, about twelve years ago a young girl,
daughter of well-to-do tradespeople, lost
nearly f20. which she had saved out of
very liberal allowance. The money was
taken from a drawer in her bed room, and
the thief was never detected. On the girls
wedding morn last year she received an
anonymous letter stating that the writer
was the person who stole her money y hiie
she was yet In her teens and inclosing
banknotes representing nearly as pos
sible the amount stolen, with compound in
terest added. Naturally the bride was de-
lighted, and the anonymous writer was
forgiven.
Not always are these unexpected we'd
ding presents of this practical and useful
character. At a recent wedding a bride
groom was very much disgusted by receiv-
ing at the wedding breakfast bulky-look-
ing parcel, which evidently appeared 10 be
late present. Unsuspecting evil, the new
ly married man handed the parcel TO his
wife to be opened. She opened IL, and
found therein a number of letters in girls
handwriting. apparently love letters written
to the bridegroom of the morning. Fortu-
nately the affair was a joke on the part Of
the mans bachelor friends but it needed
all his asSeverations of innocence to calm
the natural indignation of the young wife,
