RAILWAY RUMBLES.

There are only 23 daily runs Of 100
miles and upward on the whole French
railway systems.
The English railways cost on an aver
age t5o.0uo p"r mile. the German f2O.-
600 and the American tlt.00O.
The life Of a steel rail under regular
traffic is not more than II years. On n
siding or spur it will serve for a long
period.
On Brazilian railroads no baggage is
transported free, and passenger is al
lowed to take with him into the coach
only small handbag
Building railroads in old Mexico is a
difficult business. The mountains stand
in the way and render construction both
difficult and expensive.
Although there are many cold winter
days in northern Italy, third class railway
cars are never heated and second class
cars only Gu express trains
Somewhat Of the going to and fro of
the people may bc guessed at when it is
known that 2.uO0,OOO,O00 passengers and
9JuUuO,OOO tons of goods are carried in a
year on the worlds railways.
There were primitive railroads in the
eighteenth century, but it was after 1902
when Richard Trevithick took ont in
England the first patent for Il high pres
sure engine adapted for motion on roads
and in $50 the Rocket, which was built
10y Robert Stephenson, drew II tons at
the rate of over 20 miles an hour.

Nightingale competitive concerts are
held every year during April in various
cities in Japan.
The main feature of this quaint recrea-
ton is to bring together tame nightingales
of melodious voice, according to the ac-
ceptcd standard of the connoisseurs, and
to let each of these nightingaes sing in
turn. BY this singing the grade Of the
songsters as to their musical talent is de-
termined The method adopted in collect
ing the concert expenses is peculiar. for
the amount levied on the owners of song
sters is greater as their exhibits get a
higher grade.
1t is said that this refined competition
is more popular in Nagasaki than any
where else in Japan and that consequent
ly the best songsters command an extraor-
binary price in that city, as much as
1000 yen bird. In Tokyo they can hard
" fetch more than 800 yen.-Japan

Hospital Patients Spanked.

This is wooden paddle about two feet
long, designed to restore Consciousness
to patients who have either taken poison
or who have Iapsed into a comatose con-
dtion from the effect of too much liquor.
This little instrument is decorated with
such legends as The way of the trans
gressor is hard" "Slumber sweet sum-
Der, nit.' and similar sentences purporting
to be in a jocular vein. The awakener"
is used upon the soles of patients feet.
The shoes and stockings are removed
and then the paddle is applied with full
force. Most Of the patients respond to
this treatment within ten minutes, but
sometimes where drugs have been used

VERY EXPLOSIVE WOOD.
Dihiculty In Disposing of Casks That

One of the most puzzing Of the many

IS how to get rid of the empty casks that

manufacturer of explosives. 1.-The wood
OF the casks becomes so saturated with
hltroglycerin that in eXplosiveness 1t
equals the nitroglycerin itself
1T does not pay nor is it safe to rehll
the casks. To burn them is out of the
question. If left around, they are con-
slant menace, for while all men are prone
TO show their respect for a dangerous ex'
plosive there are few that think that
harm can come of a kick at an empty
barrel. There is nothing to do but to ex-
plode the casks.
This is generally done by placing them
on open ground and firing a rife bullet at
them from a safe distance. The concus-

haze practically eXterminated it from
our own lawn by close and frequent
moving with the lawn mower just as

The cuttings should be gathered in n

they are dry enough. The whole secret
Of getting rid of it lies in preventing it
from going to seed upon the lawn, as
the plant is an annual and propagated

EASILY ACQUIRED FAME.

81 never realized how easily a man
may court fame and get undeserved
credit for very ordinary act until
got into politics." observed the
modest aldermanic candidate, relates
the Detroit Free Press.
'The other day stepped out into
the street and stopped a walk-away
nag attached to a heayily-loaded brick
wagon. The animal had simply
strayed away while the driver went
to get glass of beer or something.
don't believe the old ring-boned ami
NAL had the ambition to run away
even If he had a light wagon behind
him, and he certainly was going at
cold molasses gait when I stopped
him. AS 1 'geed' the horse around
and returned him to the curb one
of my admiring constituents who
touched me for campaign expenses
occasionally, rushed up and, grab
bling my hand, exclaimed:
BY George, old boy, that was a
brave aetl I expected to see you
trampled under the horses hoofs any
minute
''Then very inquisitive young man
whom L might have recognized as a
newspaper reporter advanced and
piled me with questions. That even
ing my attention was called to a
windy, not to say fierce article in
which I was described as a great
hero. 1t was headed Daring Deed
An A1dermanic Candidate Stops a
Runaway Horse at the Risk of His
Life and a graphic word picture was
drawn of flying bricks, plunging
horses and scurrying pedestrians.
1T was a great send-off and the en-
thusiastic constituent who was the
first to congratulate me touched me
for 'fve-spot' on the strength of it.

THREE BEFORE VICTORIA.
None of the Three Kings Did Any-
thing to Make His Reign Great
or Glorious.

Victoria assembled the throne at an
inauspicious moment. Kingship had
fallen into a miserable disrepute. The
last three monarchs who had sat upon
our throne had done little to make
their office easy or glorious, says
Blackwood's. George III. had OBJ
scured whatever virtues were his by
an obstinacy of opinion which lost us
a vast colony, and which might well
have enslaved us to a foreign power.
George ". had died unwept and I'M
pitied. AS he had made his dis tin
guished office a scandal, as he had
made his throne ridiculous by a de-
plorable levity of taste and conduct,
so he had forfeited the affection of
his people. and alienated their SYM
pathy long before death overlook
him. "There never was an individ-
ual," proclaimed the Times but few
weeks after his death, LESS regretted
by his fellow-creatures than this de-
ceased king. What eye has wept for
him? What heart has heaved one
throb of unnecessary sorrow?" And
the Times expressed in these bitter
words nothing less than the popular
Judgment. Nor can it be said that
William ". graced the throne of
Britain. Loved for his homely vir-
tues, he raised smile of kindly con-
tempt by his lack of dignity, and his
frank misunderstanding of kingly
ceremonial. On the day of his ac-
cession he escaped from his council
and was found throwing shillings to
a noisy crowd in back street, and
never did he acquire the rudiments
of tact, which should be the first wis
dom of kings
