Doubled the Fee.

A clergyman who used to be a pastor
of a church in Kansas City says that
on one occasion he had rather an anus
ing experience in marrying a young
couple in that city.
The gentleman" said the clergy
man, "was a handsome noble looking
young man and the bride to be more
than usually beautiful. 1t was plain TO
be seen that the prospective groom
thought he had secured the one prize in
all the matrimonial market and was
correspondingly elatcd.
"JuSt before the ceremony the gen
tleman handed me the marriage license
to see that it was all right. Inside the
license there was 4 crisp s. note, plac.
ed there as the fee. The couple stood
up before the few witnesses in the par
lor, the ceremony was gone through
with, and they were pronounced hus-
band and wife. The first thing the new
husband did was TO draw his wife to
him and imprint n fond kiss on her
sweet lips. 1t seemed to thrill him
with unexpected JOY, for, Immediately
turning to me, he said, 'Parson, I'll be
switched If l paid you enough for this

p0rAnins For Milk Cows.

The parsnip IS probably one of the
best roots ever grown for milk cows,
and it has a great advantage in that it
may remain in the field until spring,
when other roots are all gone, and
then be used until grass has grown.
1t is as easily grown as the carrot, and,
like that root, it wants deep, rich and
mellow soil. Many object to growing
it, even in the garden, because the
weeds are apt to get such a growth
before the parsnips come up that the
labor of wedding is greatly increased,
but this may be remedied by mixing
a few radlsh seed with the parsnip
seed which will come up so that the
rows can be seen and hoed out long
before the parsnips are up. They can
be pulled when the parsnips are thin

All green vegetables should be boiled
In salted water. A pinch of carbonate
Of soda will make them retain their
color. They should never boil mo-
ment longer than IS just necessary to
cook them; then they should be drained

one or two tomatoes, an apple, a few
peeled mushrooms with plenty of sea

TIMING YOUR TRAIN.
Ways In Which TO Learn How Fast
You Are Travelling.

There has been some picturesque
fiction written about the ease with
which railroad men ana drummers are
supposed to tick off the miles as the
train speeds along from things they
can see from the car windows said a
railroad conductor to reporter
There is only one strictly accurate
way, and that is to seat yourself on the
side of the train from which may be
observed the white mile posts that line
the road and hold your watch on them.
If you have 4 split second watch, it
will prove interesting to note that
while you made one mile in GO seconds
the next was covered in 53 and the
third in 70 seconds, and so on, as the
speed of the train increases or slack
ems. You may also follow around the
little second hand on an ordinary
watch 1t kills time
"SOme pretend to say that they can
tell the speed Of the train by counting
the telegraph poles. If there were an
exact number of telegraph poles to ev-
cry mile, this might be done by n little
figuring, but there is difference. The
number of telegraph poles to a mile
vary from SO to 40 depending upon the
straight stretches and the curves in the
track, the latter having more poles
than the former. So you see, it is not
as easy as the drummer would have
the other passengers believe.
'If the poles are planted SO to the
mile, they are 100 feet apart, and every
IL passed represents a third of a mile.
If placed 40 to 4 mile, they are 132 feet
apart, and every 20 represents half
mile
'These are easy figures to remember,
and by applying them on journey i
passenger may obtain an idea more or
less accurate of the speed of the train.
Another way is to attempt to count
the clicks of the wheels of the truck of
your car as they pass over the rails
where Joined. The rails of the roads as
placed today are too evenly joined to
arrive at an exact determination by
this method, because if you miss two or
three joints your calculations are
thrown out as to accuracy.
However, there are railroad men
who cannot tell you the number of rails
to the mile of their own roads, and
rails vary in length, the average being
80 feet, some 80 feet and some 60 feet.
At so feet there are 17G rails to the
mile, and if you can count 176 consecu-
tive clinks as your train flies along you
may determine its speed and not other
wise. Star.

An ImDartiaI Woman.

"This Is the grave of the most Impair
tial woman on record" said the guide
in Cave Hill cemetery to a party who
visited the beautiful cemetery the 9th
er day. Away over that second knoll
there Is lot containing only two
grayes, and the hcadstone of each is
marked Father
The woman who is buried here was
married twice, and the two graves In
that lot are the graves OF her two hus
bands. She tried her best to treat her
second husband as she did the first
and even when he died she had no idea
Of showing any preference. But she
was sick when the funeral service Of
her second husband was held. She di-
rected that the partner of her second
matrimonial venture be laid by the
side Of the first, but that enough space
be left TO bury her between the two.
"By some hook or crook a mistake
was made, and when she visited the
cemetery she found that they were
buried side by side, with no space be-
tween.
"Well, sir, she didn't know what TO
do. She argued that if she should be
buried by the side Of her first husband
it would not be fair to the memory Of
her last spouse, and vice versa. What
did she do? Why, when she died she
left request that she be buried in an
other lot, away from both of them, and
It was needed" ~ Louisville Courier
