less than eighteen hours, the time
scheduled for their run q scant week ago
The passengers who made the journey
on these Srst trains of the schedule
that beat i e world did not realize the
amount of work underlying the jour
ney which they made, smooth and
with no more hitch than an ordinary
run between New York and Washing
ton.
Is there any ground for wonder that
men doubted the sanity Of President
Cassatt when he declared that TO sue
cessfully operate the Pennsylvania rail-
road it was necessary to blow away the
sides Of the mountains in order to lay
six tracks where there were already
four to increase from one TO four tracks
the Fort Wayne lines between Pittsburg
and Chicago, to spend millions upon mil
lions to reduce grades that were appar-
entity satisfactory already, to eliminate
curves that could be easily rounded
with a little care and finally to spend
500, 900 for q tunnel from Jersey City
to q site covering two blocks in the
heart Of New York for a passenger
terminal. Even now the question arises,
does the result justify the expenditure
of these vast sums?
Ia answering this question the fact
must be taken into consideration that in
imprGying the road ostensibly for the
establishment of a schedule for pas
serger train that would lead the world,
the improvements also benefit the whole

The Mariners Yarn.

Down in the docks the other
day they were talking about a
schooner which had been struck
by lightning, when the reporter
signaled out an old mariner and
said:
"Capt. H., it seems to me I've
read or heard of your brig being
struckW
"Yes, she was," answered the
old yarn spinner.
"Where was it?n

10 years ago. Very strange
case that. Probably the only
one of the kind ever heard Of. y

What He Forgot.

A Canadian farmer, noted for
his Observation-Disclosures, went to
town one day and transacted his
business with the utmost pre-
cision. He started back on his
way home, however, with the
firm conviction that he had for
gotten something-what it was
he could not recall, try how he
would. As he neared home the
conviction increased, and three
times he stopped his horse and
went carefully through his peck
etbook in vain endeavor to dis
cover what he had forgotten. In
due course he reached home,
and was met by his daughter,
who looked at him in surprise,
and exclaimed, "Why, father,
where have you left mother?"-

UNCLE TOMS CHAT.


Well, children, | have told
you several things, now tell
you the romance of my life is to
be boy again, not that want
to engage in deadly strife or
mount again my war steed and
with drawn sword plunge into
the thickest of the fray. Meth
er do | wish to reenter the ranks
of the lotharios and become
beau to some fair girl with rosy
cheeks and sparkling eyes, but
to be a boy again would be
enough. Yes, to be a boy again
would be the height of my ambi-
ton. After sixty years with oil
their troubles and sorrows my
memory recalls to me my boy
hood days and the sweetness that
was connected with them. |
think of, and fondly remember
my playmates and teachers and
the many happy hours | spent
in their company. Yes, to be a
boy again with my breeches roll
ed to my knees wading the creek,
mud and slush, flying a kite, roll
'ag hoop, playing bull pen, rid
ing the calves and young colts,
fighting yellow jackets, etc.
How many old people would like
to be a boy or girl once more?
We thought We had a hard time
but we've lived long enough to
learn that those days were our
happiest and we fondly cherish
them as never before. Only to
be young again, full of life and
vigor is our ambition-yet we
know that can never be. From
boyhood up how fondly do we
cherish the sweets that have
come to us and with what pain
do we remember the sorrow we
have caused. A review of our
life is good for US. Some of us
have much to ragret while others
have had but little shade, more
sunshine than clouds-yet they
too would like to be child again.
How good God has been in Civ.
ing us memory and how the
old delight to tell the story of
their youth. Hardly an aged
person but what is sure to revert
to the scenes of their youth:
"When | was boyn or "when |
was girl" 1t is the romance
of their life, the panacea of q
long life Of care, delicious
draught to a weary way-worn
aged traveller. Then young peo-
pie don't hesitate to draw out
from the aged the life of their
youth. They will tell, only lis
ten. Keep still grandma is as
ready to tell as grandpa. In
proof the old soldiers. But
while they love to recount the
deeds of their bravery, yet if you
don't mind they will go further
back and relate the story of
childhood. How they are bound
and tied to their childhood days
no pen can tell, but it is so. All
writer's above fifty years will re-
vert to their early childhood.

Sour Milk.

"Sour milk will ward off age.
This belief, which old-fashioned
! folk have held for generations,
now receives the sanction of
science, the sanction of the lead
ing psychologists of Europe.
The speaker, physician,
poured from a carafe a glass of
thick, white, fluid, uninviting,
lumpy.
"Try that" he said. at is
Bulgarian sour milk. The taste
is disguised"
The taste, indeed, was not I'M
pleasant. 1t suggested mush-
rooms.
"0ld age is a disease" the
physician continued, (which
sour milk promises to ward off
for 30 or 10 years. Anato-
mists have always held that man
should retain the vigor of his
prime until the age of 80 or 100.
Now that we recognize senility
as a disease (as an unnatural in
stead of a natural condition) and
now that We are fighting senility
instead of submitting to it, per-
haps in the next century the av-
erage man of 80 will be as hale
and spry as the average man of
so is to-day.
"The philosophy of the thing?
Well, the philosophy of the thing
put simply, is this: Inside us,
from our birth, live a host of
evil germs-little beings with
the power to turn our hair gray,
to clog our liver, to stiffen our
joints and muscles, to dim our
vision and so on. Up to the age
of 40 or so there are good germs
in our blood which keep the evil
ones in check. But at 40 the
good germs seem to lose heart.
They weaken and diminish,
The evil germs multiply and
strengthen. And in this war
between the two, as the evil fac
tion gains ground.
Sour milk, filled with germs
of fermentation, introduces these
germs into our blood and they
at once turn and fight for us
against the evil old-age germs.
The more fermentation germs
we take in-the more sour milk
we drink-the better we keeT
the old age germs into subsection
and the longer we ward off sen
ility.
''The leading scientists of the
world to-day drink sour mill
regularly. And many of then
at go or 65 are as young to all
intents and purposes as a man
of As.
In Bulgaria sour milk is a
daily drink of the people. Sour
milk to a Bulgarian is what beer
is to German. And it is a
fact admitted everywhere that
the Bulgarians are the longest
lived people in the world. -

having recovered herself sudden

The gentleman saw his mistake
in a moment, and apologized
profusely. Mrs. Tryon began to
think more and more of her own
hat as she went along and she
smiled to herself as she saw the
CONSERVATION on the face of the
other customer as the gentleman
explained the error.
BY some freak of fortune, Mrs.
Tryon ran across the brown hat
she was looking for, and she hur-
ried to the glass to put it on her
head. 1t was just what she
wanted, and she started to the
desk being unable to find a clerk
in order to conclude her pur-
chase. She was carrying her old
hat in one hand, and the pros

Mrs. Tryon's white hat trimmed

"No, madam, it is not" she
replied rather tartly.

persisted. Mrs. Tyron saw at
