FAST EXPRESS TRAINS.
Two Eastern Specials THAT Run More
Than a Mile a Minute on Reg
ulnr SchedEle.

The Commute flyers on both the
Pennsylvania and Reading railroads 10
Atlantic City are establishing a rec
ord for time. The regular schedule
time of the Pennsylvania railroads At
lantic City hyer was Gs miles an hour
from Camden 10 Winslow Junction, and
rs miles an hour from the latter point
10 Ahssson. There are two trains be-
tween Philadelphia and New York on
the Pennsylvania railroads regular
schedule that make faster run every
day in the year. The Business Mans
express, leaving Philadelphia at 1888
in the morning, Is scheduled at 49.ss
miles per hour, while it's mato, the
four p. m. train frem New York, an
nihilates time at the rate Of 5000 miles
per hour. All things considered, thesa
two trains are really the fastest reg
ular trains in the country, and on sec
tions Of the road, notably between New
Brunswick and Trenton, their schedule
speed Is considerable over 4 mile a
minute. The sustained rate Of speed,
by the way, on all express trains of the
Pennsylvania railroad between New
York, Philadelphia and Washington is
fully as high as that on any other rail-
road. Taking 35 trains in this group,
Che lowest rate of speed per mile is Al
and a fraction, while all Of the others
range from a TO 80 miles per hour.

Ivory Soap contains no alka. 1t will not destroy the
surface or texture of any material, however delicate
G Ivory Soap differs from other soaps. It is more
carefully made and the materials used IN Its manu-

THE sAssAFRAs PLANT.
From IL May Be Brewed n Pleasant
Tea and n Good MucIIaEe.

From IL May BE Brewed n Pleasant
Tea and n Good MuciIaEe.
A correspondent of the Charleston
News and Courier says of the sassafras
plant: 1.-The wbcle plant is valuable
for its medicinal properties The root
makes an excellent tea, spicy and fra
grant, and has Alternative virtues quite as
good as the sarsaparilla. The stalks
have an inner pith that, although tedi-
GUS to extract much of it, when scraped
out and put into cold water and agitated
for few moments with spoon forms
q most thick and tenacious mUcilage,
retaining a delicate flavor of the smell
of the sassafras and is bland and
soothing drink in fevers, when the
mouth is dry and great thirst exists. 1t
is frequently retained gratefully when
plain water is elected.
1t is astonishing how mucilaginous a
small quantity of this pith makes a
tumbler of water, which becomes thick,
as gum arabic water. A mere teaspoon
full of the pith taken out of the small
green branches of the bush will make
three or four tumblerfuls of thick mu-
cilage.
For inflamed eyes this mucilaginous
water is very soothing and curative and
has long been used for all forms OF in
fiammation of delicate tissues, but is so
simple that it is ignored by the profess
sion.
The oil of sassafras, which is made
from the root as we'll as other parts of
the plant, makes splendid liniment
for pains and aches in combination with
turpentine in proportion of one-t third of
the former to two-thirds of the latter
Other stimulating tinctures, such as
spirits of ammonia, are sometimes add
ed, but the chief ingredient of the light
ming iiniments hawked about by timer
ant quacks are composed principally of
sassafras oil, which is really pungent
ard effective.

A new aspect is given to one of the
labor problems by the action of the Chi
caGo and Northwestern railroad in dis
charging all the women employed in its
service. an action that affects about 200
clerks and stenographers. The company
states that this is not done because of
any incompetency on the part of the
women, but that their employment in
terferes with the general system of the
road and narrows the field for good men,
who are advanced from the lower ranks
Tho policy of the road is to promote
men from the lowest to the highest
grades of work with reference solely to
ability. and this system has been found
to result admirably, some of the men
having been advanced from manual la
Dor to responsible clerical and executive
positions. To this scheme the women
oppose an insurmounta BILE barrier. They
fill large number of places without
having worked their way up to them
from the bottom, and the road finds that
it cannot get the supply of good men
that it wants with these women in the
way. Here is an aspect of the question
that has not been largely considered by
women themselves.

THE PRICE OF PEPPER.
1t Helped to Change the History o.
the Old World.


the Old World.
In the sixteenth century all the pep
per consumed in England was bought
by the English merchants from this
Dutch, who brought it from India
Owing to racial jealousy, the Dutch
traders in 1899 raised the cost from 3
shillings to 6 shillings per pound. This
petty display of IL feeling caused con-
siderable annoyance to the English mer-
chants and aroused in them that feeling
OF independence which has always been
SO characteristic of our race.
They determined to import their pep
per direct from India in their own
ships, and for this purpose formed a
company, called the Governor and
Company of Merchants of London Trad
ing to the East Indies. and which in
latter days became eventually known
as the East India company.
Their first voyages embroiled them
in almost innumerable quarreIs with
the Dutch and Portuguese, and for a
time the venture proved a financial fail
ure. 1t was not until 1915 that the
company became successful and obtained
lucrative treaties, owing to their de-
cisively defeating the Portuguese.
From this time on their possessions
gradually increased. slowly at first, and
then very rapidly, until. by the wise
and beneficial management of such men
as Give. Warren Hastings and Corn
wallis. they exercised sovereignty over
the greater portion of India
In this manner ik hapranad &ha& a, o.,

tously affected the history Of mankind.

Every body was prepared for collapse.
stagnation and dem0rnl liEatiSns In ac-
cordance with precedent. when the war
with Spain ended. It was in the nature
of things for war to upset values, dis
turb moral standards and debauch ma
tionaI sentiment. We all know how
many things wars have to answer for.
But now that we are supposed TO be
hammering our swords back into plow-
shares it does not appear that we are
seriously demoralized. Crime and de-
spair and want have failed Co come to
time in the train of events as promptly
as of yore. This is not because we have
proved war to be good thing but sim
ply because little affair like tnat with
Spain does not seriously disturb the ag
gregate of we'll being in our tremendous
national vitality. Following the close
of the strife came the government re-
ports, and they are amazing in their
showing of national prosperity. Nor is
that all. We read of investigating COM
mittees, Of charges of negligence and
ineffioiency in the conduct of the war.
but over all is the magnificent open
mouthed optimism of the American
people, who do not take much heed of
post investigations. seeing that the peo-
pie kept their eyes ON the events as they
progressed and investigated for them
selves day by day. There is not much
weight of suspicion against a govern
ment where the people elect themselves
censors and insist upon being OF deck
and talking to the captain both in war
and peace. Surely no government that
the world has ever known has been sub
jected to such running fire of criticism
from every crossroads in the country as
has ours. And it never complained. 1t
must have known that it was set upon
a hill and could not do anything in Sc
cret. The greatest deprivation that an
American could suffer would be to have
a government that he could not find fault
with, or, to put it better, a government
that would not permit itself to be COM
planned of. Whenever revolutionary
leader arrives in the United States and
tries to fan the discomfort of TIE masses
into a flame the asses will surprise
him by pointing out that they blew all
that steam off in the newspapers year
ago. The war is over, the white doves
Of peace lighted here just before Christ
mas from Paris, and if you ask 20, 600, :
600 of Americans if they are thinking
of the bubbles in the cannon's mouth
they will answer: mot much! We are
thinking of the spring planting.

Possible alliances of all kinds are in
order. The latest is put forth by Mr.
John w. Bookwalter of Ohio, who has
been travelling through Russia and in
specting the Transsiberian railway. He
has published a statement that is of
some interest. for he says that great
surprise is in store for the world in
Russia, and before many years the
world will see England, Russia and
China combined for the partition of
China. The alliance of these three pow
ers. making two-thirds of the human
race, will be such an alliance as history
has never yet seen, and it will be one
which will give peace to the world for
centuries Mr.. Bookwalter says that
Russia has done more in three years to
give an open door to China than all the
rest of the world together and that this
open door faces America

The millionaire Thomas Tinsley of
Texas furnishes a fine example of the
futile stubbornness that tries to fight
the whole common and statutory law
single handed. Tinsley removed from
New York to Texas and began operat-
ing at once. He purchased 800. 600
worth of defaulted bonds at nominal
figure and then got them legally raised
real estate business, getting control of
the biggest cemetery in the state, which
he ran on the installment plan. He i'm
mediately raised the price of lots so per
cent and let the improvements go to
grass. Then the Let owners kicked and
got a receivership, but Tinsley would
not turn over the books or make an ac-
counting. He returned to New York
ed, fined for contempt and sent to Jail
He sued out a writ of habeas corpus.
but the court of appeals sustained tn
imprisonment. Then he went to the su-
preme court, and there the appeal was
dismissed. Undeterred, he went TO le
federal district court ON the ground
that he was not a citizen of Texas, and
when the case went against him he tried
the United States supreme court and
was once more beaten. Finally he ap-
pealed to the British consul, claiming
to be a British subject. but this failed,
and he remained locked up. He bad
now been two years making his fight
from prison. and last week he gave
in. appeared in court, gave up the books
and attempted to purge himself of con-
tempt. What lot of trouble it causes
expensive their mistake very often is!

Captain James B. Irwin, the officer
commanding the United States troops
stationed in the National Yellowstone
park, writes to confirm the stories which
have been told of the friendliness of the
wild animals in the park. He says he
has seen as many as is. 600 elks at one
TIME in the domain. They were easily
overtaken by man on snowshoes and
exhibited no signs of fear. 1t is no un-
common sight, he says, to see a bear
with two or three cubs trailing at her
heels, and she is very apt to sit down
on her launches by the side of the road
while the traveller passes.

The two important matters to be tax
en- up at the reassembling of congress
will be the ratification of the treaty of
peace and the consideration of the Nj
caraguan canal 1t is understood that
there will be some opposition in the
senate to the ratification of the treaty.
Senator Hale having allowed it to be
publicly stated that he will oppose it.
In spite of this, however, it is generally
believed that the work of the peace
commission will be ratified. Interest in
the Nicaraguan canal at present centers
in the negotiation with regard to the
Clayton Bulwer treaty. But the extra
official attitude of England and Amer
lea leaves little room to doubt that Eng
land will consent to the abrogation Of
an outworn treaty. The discussion of
the matter in the press of the two coun-
tries goes on in friendly spirit, and.
although the Liberal press of Great
Britain has claimed that the present
status should not be altered without
some equivalent advantage to England,
there is good reason to believe that the
final adjustment will be amicably made
on the lines of American control and
the adoption of the principles that gov
ern the Suez canal.

Some information zurnished by m
wrieer evidently fresh from she scenes
themselyes 60 the New York Evening
Post ahont the condition Of affairs in
Turkey shows that the condition must
be terrible indeed If what he says is
true. The sultan, he declares, follows
the policy Of putting everybody out of
the way who is likely to oppose him,
and since the Armenian massacres no
less than 1000 active men have disap-
peared mysteriously from Constantino-
pie, no one knowing what became of
them. II was not long ago that there
appeared in one Of the newspapers few
lines of caution TO Moslems to be ON
critics. The sultan thought that the
warning came from a certain club of
Young Turks who were understood to
be too progressive in their views. At
any rate, in one night, directly after
that, $40 of the members of that club
disappeared, and it has been utterly i'm
possible to find any trace of them since
1t is ia this way that the sultan keeps
the upper hand of his subjects and pre-
vents the formation of political plots
The writer of this strange story init
mates very plainly that it is the opinion
in C0nstantinople that these men were
taken out into the Bosporus at night
and drowned

whose members were pledged to marry
only poor girls. This club is still in ex-
istence, and good deal of anxiety is
felt to know how it works. Every men,
ber who for any reason marries a rich
girl is fined $4,000. A paragraph in a
foreign paper saying that the club is in
active operation would seem to indicate
that its treasury is replete with fines.
