COST OF A TRAIN.


T@hSh'h isaiiHaS Lines'
How many people who travel in trains
ever think OF the cost of running them?
1t will probably surprise most people
who have Travelled from London to Ed
inburgh to know that every mile of the
journey costs the railway company over
journey from the English to the Scotch
capital is $50.
The average cost of running train
in England is IS. I'd. per mile, so that,
the fare being reckoned at Id. per mile,
a train with less than 81 passengers for
each mile is run at loss. There are
few trains, however, that do not carry
more than this number of passengers,
and many of them carry the number
doubled many times over 1t is neces-
sary frequently to run trains that do not
pay-usually in thinly inhabited coun-
try districts-but for every train run at
loss probably 100 are run at an enor-
nous profit.
Take, for instance, the journey from
London to Edinburgh, which costs the
railway company ESQ., The average
humber of through" passengers in
these trains is probably 60, in which
case the total fares would be nearly
e10O-a clear gain of nearly ESQ., When
it is remembered that these trains run
several times day, and every day in
the year, it will be understood what an
enormous revenue single line yields in
the course of IL months. Surprising the
average number of passengers to be 60,
the midnight train from London to Ed
inburgh yields over $40, for divi-
dend in year!
The longest railway journey in the
United Kingdom would probably DO
from Penzance, in Cornwall, to Thurso,
in the north of Scotland, distance of
over 1000 miles. A train running be-
tween these two places would exhaust
an ordinary clerks salary for whole
year, the cost being no less than e13S.

IF

What to me are worlds of splendor
If the splcnlor Of thine eyes
Gaze not in the depths of mine, love,
Where thy image lies?
What are days without thy presence,
What the nights without thy care,
What to me are joys Of heaven
If thou art not there?
Passions kiss on red lips dieth
II the rcd lips kiss is cold.
Scanty is the ily's perfume
Till the buds unfold.
There can be no strain OF music
Till the player touch tho chord
And the masters thought is silent
Till it finds the word.

If the sun should cease to shine.

HOME OF THE VIRGIN.
INTERESTING DISCOVERYNEAR
EPHESUS OF HEP HABITAT.
Present Appearances Correspond
With the Traditions Which
Were Preserved.

Some months ago the Herald" gave
a detailed account of the discovery
near Ephesus Of the house in which the
Virgin had lived for many years after
our Lords death. A letter, dated Smyr-
ma, May Sd, gives the latest discovery
and Will be interesting reading. The
letter reads:
Like the majority Of travellers pass
ing through Smyrna at the present
time. l too went to Pauaghia- CapouIi
to visit the ruins of the house which
it was said was built by St. John for
the Blessed Virgin after the death of
Christ, and in which she must have
breathed her last, if we can believe the
revelations of the Catherine Emmerich.
who died at Dulmen in 1924, and whose
reputation for holiness was so great
that the question OF her qualification
is being argued at the present mo
ment.
After having carefully examined all
the records in existence, and in accord
with their Archbishop, who himself
made an officia: yisi. 70 Panaghia-
Capouli in 1892, the Catholic clergy of
Smyrna are to-day convinced that
these ruins exactly answer the descrip-
ton given by Catherine Emmerich,
and that it is impossible 20 doubt that
they are really the remains of the
house inhabitated by the Virgin New
ertheless, the Franciscans reserve their
opinion. because they are the guard
ians of all the holy places, and they
are loath to give up the tradition which
until to-day has placed the Virgins
tomb at Gethsemane.
THE orthodox clergy, who are OPP
posed from principle to all research,
and especially any emanating from the
Catholic world, tried at first to pur-
chase this land at Panaghia- Capouli,
more with the desire of hushing the
matter up than of solving the question.
They succeeded only too we'll in put

At the Metropolitan Theater to-mor-
row and Tuesday evenings Charles H.
Yale's spectacular piece THE Twelve
Temptations will be given. There is
great wealth of scenery in the piece,
and many new and novel trick sets.
There is a large ballet, and one Of
its chief acts is The Ballet Of the Four
Seasons" Mirth and wit pervades the
play, and the plot is romantic, and, of
course, largely Of the fairy-like order.

to pass hosts of peculiar individuals,
who wend their way to Brooklyn after
the shades Of night have fallen. Each
parsonage is described in a quaint song
written by Mr.. Yale. as he appears,
and the incidents are animated and
amusing. over a half hundred people
are of the troupe, and at one time forty

Take some pretty material and cut
from 1t two squares of thirteen inches
each. Line both squares, and sew the
four edges together, lining to lining
Then stitch across the four corners
about three inches deep through all
four thicknesses. When that is done
cut out round hole about the size of a
saucer in the center of one square and
its lining. Face about an inch around
this opening. This then becomes the
upper side. Run a double drawing
string of ribbon in the casing thus
formed. Now set a tassel on each cor

According to the Italian papers, Verdi
has so little desire for posthumous hon
ors that he has himself decided upon
his place for burial. 1t is in a pref

modest tombs, one for himself and the
other for his aged wife. The official
has been obliged to refer the matter

famous "Falstaff" Hackett, who inner
its his fathers dramatic ability, but
it is manifestly along more serious
lines; the latter is an accomplished &C
tress. who is noted also as one of the
most beautiful women on the stage. The
play to be given here is Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett's new drama, The
First Gentleman of Europe" In this
play both Mr.. Hackett and Miss Man
nering do some of the most romantic
acting of modern times. The support
is superior. The recent engagement of
the company at the Baldwin Theater,
San Francisco. was a notable success.
