EARLY TRAVEL BY RAIL.
Letter of a Lady Who Took Train

Travelling is now SO easy, and used
to be SO difficult, that it is hard for us
to realize that the introduction of so
useful an improvement as the iron

Impressions of an early traveller by rail,

.nconceivably unpleasant. The atmos-
phere is less oily than expected; Lut,

screeches proceeding from the Loco

coming to stop aud at other times are
most distressing and discordant.

advantage, q saving of time; and with

AMERICAN GIRLS RETORT.
Her Quick wit and knowledge of
French Once stood Her in
Good Stead.

As one OF our countrywomen - as
going down the rather narrow stairs
that lead from the house to the gar
den, at th@American embassy, she met
three or four young attaches Of for
eign legations, who were entire stran-
gers to her, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. Their politeness induced
them to stand aside for her to pass,
but their courtesy did not prevent their
making audible personal comments.
They seemed to take 1t for granted
that French was an unknown tongue to
Americans.

pretty" said No. l.

"She has good teeth" said No. 3.
"And an enormous mouth" added
No. 4.
"And she understands French per-
fectly," said the owner of the enormous
mouth, turning suddenly upon them,
land would like to say that her ears
are even bigger than her mouth" This
in French and with such an air of Civ
ing impersonal information to nobody
in particular, that it was quite as if
she had been kindly helping strangers
to information out of a guide book.
The men had just enough presence of
mind to fee the premises.

Now, in Philadelphia the plan has

shut off. Exactly at nine O'Clock they

Methods of Coffee Making.

The most perfect beverage that can be
made from any brand Of coffee is when
roasting, grinding and making form a
consecutive operation. So when you
would on some special occasion offer,
perfect coffee to friends, have 1t Drowned,
ground at once, made and served. But
this method is not practical for every
day in the year in the average house
hold. There are patent roasters, how
ever, that will perfectly brown weeks
supply at one using, and II a house
keeper is willing to add that item to the
routine OF her work, she will be well re-
paid in the fine flavor and greater
strength OF her coffee. In buying Drowned
coffee it is best to go to some large estab-
lishment where the stock is being con-
santly renewed, instead Of being kept
for weeks, as in some small stores. Never
buy ready.grOund coffee; and when
ground as purchased, buy only small
amount. The waste Of aroma after
grinding may be gauged by the fact that
a package of ground coffee will some
times make itself sensibly felt in the at.

great poets never before vouchsafed to their ad-
mirers. 1t is more than biography. 1t is the
story of most romantic love told in the poets own
words, and has all the fascinating elements OF "a
novel of the old letter-writing school. The trst
thing to be noted about the letters is that they
worthy of their authors. They are such as one
would expect from the author of "Sonnets from the
Portuguese" and "Aurora Leigh" from the author
of "Pippa Passes" and "The Ring and the Book "
Throughout two volumes of some twelve hundred
pages we find much thoughtful comment on litera-
ture and life but it is after all rather incidental to
the main object. Above everything else they are
love letters and their writer's show that their CHIEF
interest lies only in their love for each other and
for each others work
AS commentary on the immortal work Robert
Browning and Elizabeth Barrett have given to the
English language their letters will be indispensa-
bic to every American who has learned to know
and love them. OF special interest are the COM
ments made from time to time on American authors
Says Miss Barrett referring to James Russell
Lowell: "He has refined fancy, and is graceful
for an American critic but the truth is, otherwise
that he knows nothing of English poetry, or tn e
next thing to nothing, and has merely had a
dream of the early dramatists. The amount OF
reading in that direction is article in the Retros
pective Review, which contains extracts, and he
re-extracts the extracts requotes the quotations
How writer of his talents and pretentions could
make up his mind to make UP book ofsuch slight
sub-stratum is curious proof of the state of liter
ature in America. Why, lecturer on the English
dramatists for a young ladies' academy here in
England might take it to be necessary to have
better information than he could gather from an
odd review Altogether the fact is an epigram on
the surface literature of America. AS you say,
their books do not suit u.s."
On Edgar Allen Poe, Miss Barrett is not quite SC
severe. 81 send you," she writes, "a most fright
full extract from an American magazine sent to me
yesterday on the subject of mesmerism, and yor
are to understand that the Mr.. Edgar Poe who
stands committed in it is my dedicator; so while
am sending, you shall have his poems with his
mesmeric experience, and decide whether the out
rageous compliment on Elizabeth Barrett Barrett
or the experiment on M. Valdemar goes furthest
to prove him mad. There is poetry in the man
though now an then seen between the gaps Of
bath. Politician will make you laugh, as the
Raven made me laugh, though with something
in it which accounts for the hold it took upon peo
pie such as N. P Willis and his peers. Some o.
the lyrics have power of less questionable sort
For the author do not know him at ALL and in my
opinion there is more faculty shown in the accour
of that horrible mesmerc experience than in hi:
poems"

A VeTdiet OF $4,000 Rendered Yesterday,
BY the Court Of Common Pleas.
twill be remembered BY many Of our
readers that on February lst, 1897, Mrs,
L. q, Wadsworth, while in the act Of
crossing the Big -Four tracks on North
Main street, was seriously injured by a
moving train. Ribs were broken, and
she was otherwise hurt, and several
times before her recovery, her life hung
in the balance. The result finally was
that she was permanently crippled, and
something over a year ago she instituted
proceedings against the railroad CON-
pany, in the court Of common pleas,
through her attorneys for $4,000. This
case has dragged along until the present
term of court, ithad its final hearing as
far as this court is concerned, with a
result Of verdict as above. The case
attracted wide attention, not only on
account of the prominence Of the
parties, but on account Of the legal
talent employed in the prosecution Of
the case, viz: skiles & Skiles Of Shelby,
o., noted railroad lawyers.
On the defense were also excellent
attorneys, Mr.. Foot of Cleveland, and
&, G. johnson Of Elyria. The case Occu'
