SOME FAST RUNNING.-The Royal
Blue line trains on the B. & O. r.
R. between Washington and Phila-
delphia have attracted considerable
attention by reason of the rapid time
they make and the beauty of the
equipment No effort has been made
to break any speed records, yet with
in the past two or three weeks some
very creditable performances nave
been made by the new Baldwin en-
gines, ten of which were recently
purchased for service upon these
trains. The schedule time between
Washington and Philadelphia is So
miles per hour and the maximum OBJ
tanned is IS per hour, the latter
speed being only maintained for
short distances, and in most cases
when engineers are attempting to
make up lost time.

Grandmother Gray is nice. but
Grandmother White is nicer. Grand

She says the world is lovely, and
that God is good to make it
so beautiful. She loves the birds,
the sunshine and the green meadows.
She lives in the city with Aunt
Mary, and / am always glad when
she comes to our house for a few
weeks in summer time. She laughs
just as hard as anybody, laughs until
her cheeks shakes. Sire dressed my
dolly, too, and bought a carriage for
it. | enjoy taking Bessie, that is
my dolls name, but in it, or would,
if Grandmother Gray, who lives with
US, did not fed so much fault about
it. She says, s'That carriage is just
so much more in the way" and she
tells me that will tan myself as
brown as a gypsy while I am out
airing a bundle Of ruffiess and lace
and doll inside of it. She never
smiles much, and she never laughs.
/ don't believe she can. She says.
"The world is vale of tears" and
she does not care for flowers, or any
thing but work. II the house is just
as clean as it can be. then she sits
down, draws long breath, ard says,
"There Katie katie is my moth

rights again."
Then she watches me awful sharp,
and if | drop any Of my playthiDgs,
she says, "Jeannette, go straightand

where / could 90 and keep house

Papa said once, Grandmother
Gray is very gray grandmother"
But her hsir is not half so gray
as Grandmother Whites, so | asked
him what he meant. And he said,
"She looks at life through gray
