Dancers Have Queer AiIment.

There is a painful complaint, de-
clares the Family Doctor, that makes
the lives of hundreds miserable, and
that is yet never heard of outside the
walls of theaters and doctors con-
sulting rooms. This Is dancers
catarrh," for which no wholly effca-
cious remedy has been discovered, and
through which 'as many as a score
of members of great ballet are laid
up at one time" The disease is de-
scribed as sort of persistent in
flammation of the nostrils. The
paroxysms begin directly a dance is
commenced, causing the nostrils to
ache acutely.

THE BUCHWREAT CAKE.
Home TO BE the Empire State
Figures Supporting Claim.

1t appears that New York will have to
change its name. 1t will always remain,
of course, the Empire state; but Just as
we recently indicated, California has. as
the Golden state, produced more wealth
from its fruit than from its mines. so
we, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press, of necessity, must assume the
honor which the statistician confers
upon us, that of the Buckwheat state
Out of the total buckwheat crop last year
of 9-566,966 bushels, valued at IS ,341.4l3.
the farmers of our state produced $780,
1853 bushels, worth 81 1863, $50 Pennsyl-

cultural contest which involves the grid

We have no desire to take from Ohio
her title as the Buckeye state, from
Connecticut her nutmeg renown, from
Chicago or Illinois the sucker reputation
which attaches to their dignity: but we
appropriate with alacrity the buckwheat
glory. Virginia may have her hoe cake
and all the credit that shall come from
it, but about the bucllwheat cake there
is nothing sectional; it springeth up as
radiant flower, and is to be likened only

pretentious pumpkin pie. The buck

several American Railroads Have
Made Thnt Remarkable Record
Mental Strain on Engineers.

The fact that a speed of 1O6.S miles
an hour has been reached on the los
sen experimental road in Germany is
interesting, but the engineers in
charge are in error if they think that
this is the highest speed ever attained,
says the New York World More than
20 years ago a steam engine and car
attached. both of light construction,
were driven at over 100 miles on hour
on single rail "saddle-back" road
built by Capt ]. V. Meigs at Boston.
Ten years ago the Empire State ex-
press ran mile at the rate of 1928
miles an hour. Two years ago a train
on the Plant system in Florida ran
five miles in two minutes and 80 sec
onds. equivalent to 100 miles an hour.
Some experts think that while there
is no mechanical difficulty in the way
of running trains at the rate of 100
miles an hour or more, no engineer
will be able to stand the strain of such
speed without a nervous breakdown.
But with thoroughly protected track,
free from grade crossings, with moth
ing to disturb the mind, and with vi
bratiOns reduced to a minimum, it may
be found that a train can be run at
two miles a minute with less mental
tension than is caused by half that

AutOn Obile Dust Trials

One Of the features of the reliability
trials by the London Automobile club at
the Crystal palace was a dust trial. d"
At three points in the banked-up cir
cular cycle track half the roadway was
covered with an inch layer of flourmill
sweepings. One automobile acted as
pilot to the competing car, in order that
the speed, which was approximately 80
miles an hour, might be gagged, and as
the competing car flew through the -four
two cameras recorded the cloud of
dust" The lesson taught by the dust
trials was that the lower and more cum
bersome the gear and boxes under the
body Of the car the greater is the dust
raised.

the orators could regale themselves with
soda water, ice cream, lemonade and
other cool refreshments, and the stands
we're literally patronized. But that is
not all About one o'clock dinner was

other dishes disappeared the tables
would be rsplenished with more from
