THE EVENING STAR: HOME MATTERS. USEFUL RECIPES FOR CITY AND COUNTRY. Pracu short-cake is one of the delicacies of the season. Make exactly as you do strawberry short-cake. Ir a teaspoonfal of turpentine Is put in the wash-boiler and boiled with the clothes, it will whiten them perceptibly. A Verr nourishing drink for an invalid is made of whipped cream sweetened and mixea with highly-flavored wine. To Remove “GREEN” FROM PavEMENTS.— Scrub the pavement with a strong solution of washing soda, hof, and thea rinse off with hot water. A CoMFORTABLE-LOOKING Wrap to lay on a couch or sofa or for use in the carriage on autumn days is knit in stripes of nine inches wide, of blue and wine-colored worsted. Steet ves which are not in dally use may ke kept from rusting if they are dipped in a strong solution of soda—one part of water to four of soda; then wipe dry, roll in flannel, and keep in a dry place. Ir Sax. pieces of linen that are used for the baby’s bath towels or wash cloths are fringed around the edge, they will pass through the weekly wash in safety, but if left in irregular shape they will very likely be left on the grass to mildew or be tucked in the rag bag. PickLep Strive Beays.—String beans make good pickles, thouzh unless they are canned im- mediately after pickling they will not retain their freshness longer than for a week or two. To pickle them, first remove the “strings,” then pour hot vinegar over them. They will be ready for use in a day or two. To Axy Oxe so unfortunate as to be obliged to move it may be of value to know that -anned fruit may be transported without fear of ioss, it the glass cans are securely packed in s: vdust, ‘This must be very firmly pressed down so that the cans really cannot move, or be move. by the Jarring of the wagon or car. Aone other pretty ways to finish the edge ot a silk lounge quilt are these: put a border of narrow ribbon on in strips, make a point on the end of each piece of ribbon, and under these allowing it to show a trifle; below them put a Tuffle of Ince. The other way is to omit the lace and put a tassel or small ball on each point. Cuow Cuow.—One quart large cucumbers, 1 quart small cucumbers, 2 quarts onions, 4 heads cauliflower, 6 green peppers; 1 quart green to- ion vinegar, 1’ pound mustard, 2 cups flour, 1 ounce tumeric. t water one night; cook all the es in brine until tender, except large cucumbers. Pour vinegar and spices over. Corn bread without yeast or soda is some- times desired as an article of food: sift three quarts of meal, add a tablespoonfal of salt, and mix with just enough water to make a thin batter. Cover this with a cloth and let it stand until it begins to rise, and little bubbles make their appearance on the top. Then pour it into 8 well-buttered tin and bake slowly ina mode- Fate oven. A Uservr and even tasteful cover for the marble slab of the sideboard is made of a strip of canton flannel just the width of the slab. It should be long enough to hang over at the ends four or five inches. Trim the ends with white or colored ball fringe, and if you wish to, a row of Kate Greenaway figures may be outlined at each end. Line the flannel with firm white cot- ton cloth, or with turkey red calico. A Somewnat novel way to trim atable scarf is to put three-cornered pieces of silk or satin on each end. Have these pieces half a yard deep at the longest side, in the corner embroider a spray of flowers; where the satin or silk end Joins the center part of the scarf put a row of | ™ fancy stitches. A dark crimson felt scarf with: one end light blue, the other of crimson shaded to brown Is very handsome. Sqvasu Pre.—A good squash pie Is easily made if one will take care to observe this rule: Do not attempt to make asquash pie unless you have at least three eggs to spare for each pie. Beat the ezgs till they are as light as it is pos- sible to make them, then beat the eges and squash together till it all looks foamy; add milk enough to thin it sufficiently; bake in a mod- erate oven, and success is certain. A Ganaxtixe or Coup Meat.—A pretty and very economical dish may be made by finely mincing the remains of any cold meat, adding to it breadcrumbs to half its weight, and fa- vored by herbs and a wine-glass of strong Lie- big’s essence or good stock. Place these ingre- dients in a small mould and pour over it sufli- cient dissolved gelatine to nearly cover it. Steain for an hour; stand it to cool, and then turn out. Curexes Ccrtets.—Take the fillets of three ehickens, which will give you six large and six small ones; flatten them with the handle of a knife which has been dipped in cold water; pull off the upper skin from the large fillets with tne knife, and take the sinews fromthe smaller ones; dip them in oiled butter and place them na saucepan, shaking a little fine salt over them. Have ready prepared a rich white sauce, In which a few pieces of veal or chicken shaped into small balis the size of a marble,some mush- rooms, and a few dice of truffles have been stewed. When it istime to dress the cutlets, fry them lightly and quickly, drain the butter from them, pour over them afew spoonfuls of white sauce, and just at the last a spoontul of thick cream; arrange them In a circle in the dish, alternately a large and a small fillet, fill- ing the center with the sauce. Tue Satcuet asa Jewr. Sare,—A satchel, which may be so easily forgotten and left be- hind in cars or carriage, or be snatched from the hand, is the poorest of all “safes” for carry- ing money or Jewels. A much more secure plan is to make a bag of chamois leather and sew it firmly inside the dress. or, better still, the corset. Valuable jewels can be removed from their eases, each wrapped in silver paper ‘Jewellers’ tissue paper) and buttoned or tied irmly in the chamois safe. The sort of white Wash-leather bag that the Queen of England gives the pence in at White Hall to her old pen- stoners, a silyer penny for every year of their . is the precise pattern needed, Bank arge number, may be carried in the » Inside the dress. Some western e been known to use their stockings k, but this has its inconvenience. Any se contrivan however, are better than the easy-going satchel.— Philadelphia Ledger. Picktes.—Green bell-peppers make an ex- ¢ellent relish when carefully prepared. Cut the top off, and with a sharp penknife remove the seeds; then put the peppers, the tops and all, In ‘an earthen jar and pour cold water,well salted, over them; let them stand for two days in this, then change the water and make the brine weaker; let them remain inthis a dayand night; then take them oat and fill them with chopped cabbage, seasoned with salt and sugar. fe ged can obtainthem, putin each pepper a tiny cu- cumber and two or three nasturtiam seeds; crowd the filling In as hard as possible, as it will shrink when pickled; then with a crane needle and with cotton yarn sew the tops of the peppers on: pour hot vinegar over them; lay some horseradish leaves over them in the jar, and set them in the cellar or in some cool closet. In afew weeks they are fit for use. With pork and beans and with roast goose or duck they are excellent, for a little goes a great way. Too Mccn Svaar.—A mother often complains that her child is troubled greatly with asour stomach, but this case is no longer mysterious when the mother, to quiet the little one so that she cancontinue her account of the case, sets down before her a little dish of sugar, from which the child may help itself. Most mothers would give candy or a cookie instead, though some feed thelr children lumps of sugar from the bowl, believing that the children need ” and better have it in that form than in an: vother, In any case of this kind there is a very frequent all for water. Do you know how vinegar Is made? You can plenty of it by simply mixing sugar or mo- with water and keeping it warm. A sour taste In the mouth atter eating sweets, is of very common occurrence. It is the acid caused by the fermentation of the suger left in the mouth, with the saliva that causes the decay of children's teeth—this and the lack of bone-forming ma- terial in the dally food. Vinegar “eats” lime. as one can tell by leaving an egg in vinegar. Bits ot sugar or candy left to ferment among the teeth destroy theirenamel, as well as do pickles.

A Romantic Chapter Not Hitherte Re- lated. A Stratford, Conn., dispatch to-day says: Two or three days ago the Sun reporter waited in Stratford's little depot tora delayed rallroad train to take him over to Bridgeport. An old lady with a white shawl anda penchant for gossip was his companion. She followed the village custom, of course, and talked of the mystery surrounding Rose Ambler’s death. She had known the ill-fated young woman. She knew Capt. Clark, Rose's stalwart fisherman father; she knew Norman Ambler, the divorced husband; she knew William Lewis, the suspect- ed lover; she knew, in short, all, or nearly all, of those whose names have been brought into the story of the crime. Recounting reminis- cences ofeach, she gave the newspaper man a glance at a romance that colored Rose's early life,a chapter not hitherto opened to public view. “When Rose was between 17and 18 years old,” began the old lady, toying with the fringe of her white shawl, ‘‘she was a beautiful girl, so everybody hereabout agreed. People who saw her during the last few years ot her life, since she suffered so much, could have no idea of the bright, winsome face afd comely torm of that earlier time. She was the belle of Stratford town. A dozen suitors sought her favor. To all she gave the same cordial attention, and all she dismissed with the game apparent uncon- cern. Norman Ambler, whose father had grown rich on war contracts from the government, was among the crowd of young men who strove to win her smiles. She cared no more for him than for others, so it seemed, but he was persistent. There came to Stratford a man named Brown, James or Ja- son Brown. He was Rose Clark's senior by a dozen sears or more. He had been a sailor from his boyhood, so he said, but withal he had the bearing of u man who had seen much of good society and profited by it. He was an In- Valid. He had been yery sick with a fever, and had come to Stratford for recuperation. He brought a little cedar boat, and nearly every afternoon he was out on the water. He met Rose ata village picnic, and was at- tracted by her beauty. She was fascinated by his culture and by his ready wit. The girl knew how to manage an oar as did few of the young men of her acquaintance. Her father had taught her the art. It was not unnatural that she and the invalid visitor should become at first fast friends, and then almost inseparable companions. A large portion of thelr time was spent in boating, she rowing while he, hardly strong enough for work, entertained her with stories of the adventures in which he had figured in distant tands. ‘And it was natural, too, perhaps, that the girl, with a love for romance in her composition, soon grew to care more for the invalid sailor than for all younger beaux of Stratford, whose achievements were bound down to corn-husk- ing, bees and the local ball-room. One after- noon out on the water there was a sentimental confession, and a band of gold, bearing a ly carved coral heart, was placed upon the black-eyed woman's finger. She was pledged to be the sailor’s bride. Time wore on and Captain Brown left the vil- lage on a long voyage. Rose Clark was to be his wife as soon as he returned, and he was then to go to seano more. A year passed by and there came no word from him to her, though whaling vessels returning reported that he had been met and was well. Rose Clark was piqued. She had not yet learned that patience was among the first of virtues. The apparent carelessness of her far-away lover net- tled her, and she determined, in a willful woman's way, to show the little world in which she moved in Stratford that the sailor’s caya- lier treatment could not humble or embarrass her. Norman Ambler’s handsome horses and Nor- man Ambiler’s shining carriage began to show itselt with a suggestive frequency under the naples on the lawn by Captain Clark’s cottase. Within a month or two the bells of the little Methodist church of the hamlet rang out mer- rily, and with blossoms in her hair Rosé walked through a throng of villagers up the aisle, and beard pronounced the words which made her Norman Ambler’s wife. Early one night, a month or so after the wed- ding,a New York train stopping at Stratford left a single passenger, who, careless of the ob- servation of the half dozen idlers at the sta- tion, walked away inthe growing darkness. It was the man who in the last summer time had promised to make Rose Clark his wife. The next train took him trom the village. For a little time he had seen Norman Ambler’s bride, had met her at her own gate, there to learn for the first time of her marriage. It was a stormy scene that followed and Rose heard a heated denunciation of her husband,and threats todo him harm were silenced only by tears and entreaties. The sailor showed that his condact had been honorable, that he had been duped. Norman Ambler, so the allegation went, had known the why and the wherefore of the trouble which came suddenly between the satlor and his betrothed, and a series of circum- stances which had misrepresented them, each to the other. had been devised, not without the Jealous lover's cunning. But what Rose Ambler thought the world never knew, and if she suffered from any reve- tation that Capt. Brown had made concerning an unscrupulous rival's work her endeavor was to conceal it. It is not impossible, though, that when months later William Lewis came to whis- per unkind things of Norman Ambler he found a listener who would have been less attentive had not the seed of suspicion and distrust been already sown. “And what became of Brown?” “He died, so we heard,” said the old lady, draping her white shawl about her shoulders and going out from the little station’s waiting room to climb upon the cars. - eee GENERAL CROOK AT HOME. A Visit to the Famous Indian Fighter at His Quarters in Arizona. Prescott, A. T., Sept. 21—I have jast re- turned from an interview with General Crook. whose headquarters are at Fort Whipple, about a miles east of Prescott. Ifound the famous Indian fighter at his residence, a pleasant, roomy house of two stories, surrounded by piazzas, and commanding a charming view of hill and valley. He received me with unaffected cordiality, and his manners are so genial and affable that one can readily understand why he is so popular with the citizens of this territory. He is about fifty years of age, of medium height, strongly built and muscular, with sun-browned face, keen gray eyes, and a fall, bushy, brown beard, slightly sprinkled with gray. His hair is cut short, and his dress of gray tweed bore no insignia of his military profession. Iam told by the towns- people that carelessness in dress and disregard of show are his well-known characteristics, and that he never dons his ‘‘harness” except when tullitary etiquette positively requires it. At a reception given him by the citizens of Prescott on his return from his late expedition against the Apaches, the general was a conspicuous figure in a comfortable linen suit amid a throng of ladies and gentlemen in full dress,and officers brilliant with gold lace. The Indians call him “The Gray Fox," and he has the ities that seem to command their respect and confidence. Tne Chiricahuas captured by General Crook in his last campaign are now ator near San Carlos under the control of the War department, awaiting the coming in of the balance of the tribe, about 100 in number, who were paroled, ete on era Boe held as 5 me doul vi mn latel het about their return with ‘the boy Ci By ates whom they promised to bring with them, I asked the general whether he entertained distrust in regard to them, “No,” he replied, “I have the fullest confi- dence that these Indians will keep their pledge and return before the cold weather, bringing the captive boy, who was certainly alive at the time of the fight. They could have no object to ( in King him. Besides, we hold their families as ity-for their behavior. I ed. them to come in before now; but as I have heard of .no outrages they have committed I be- leve they will keep thelr word. The truth is,” continued the Gene “these men know all about the disagreement between the War and Interior Soaeets to how they shall pe treated, and while that question is unsettled is not surprising that they keep away,” Gen. Crook gave me a very interesting sketch of his e: Poe Wd toned on the frontier.

Newsfrom Benton county, Ind.,confirms thera- mor of the bratal murder of Ads Atkinson, 15 years old, the daughter of Cephas Atkinson, a well-known and wealthy cattle-dealer. Heand his wife left home early in the morning for the railroad station, several miles distant. The daughters, Ada and Lucy, were left at home alone. After dinner Lucy left for a vist to friends some distance away, the younger sister thus being the sole occupant of the house. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon Lucy returned. Going up to the sleeping rooms she found her sister lying on the floor covered with blood. An alarm was at once given, and the neighbors made a hasty examination, which showed that the girl had been literally hacked to pleces, there being 25 separate cuts. The murderer had first severed the jugular vein, and after that had gone deliberately to work to mutilate his victim on the face, hands, and neck. Great gashes across the stomach exposed the intes- tines, while everything near was spattered with blood. Most of the mutilation was done after the girl was helpless, and possibly dead, and the fiend, who committed the outrage tore off the girl’s clothing that the knife might sink the deeper. When first discovered the dead girl was lying with her face to the floor, her bead resting partially upon one arm, while the other was stretched forward as though she had at- tempted to clutch the carpet. The bed had not been occupied, and a medical examination showed that no attempt was made to violate the girl's person. The motive for the murder is be- yond comprehension, and there is no clue as yet to the fiend who committed the outrage. Not a thing was taken from the house, and money in the burean was not disturbed. The aged mother and father, with the sister who so nar- rowly escaped, are almost insane over the ter- rible tragedy; and the community is wrought up tosuch an extent that speedy justice will be meted out to the brute should he be caught. PROBABLE CLUES. The most important information received since the murderhas just come to light. Two brothers named Jefferson, residing near the At- kinson place, started to Oxford with a load of wood. In passing the Atkinson residence, which stands back about twenty yards from the main road, they saw no one inthe yard. After going ashort distance one of the boys, on look- ing back, saw a man leaving the gate of the yard, He was mounted on a gray horse. He started toward them at a gallop, but upon near- ing them checked his horse, drew his hat over his eyes and rode past. There was blood on his right hand, and on the side of his face. He was apparently about twenty years of age. They did not know him. After passing the wagon he started offagain at breakneck speed, taking a road leading westward, evidently to avoid go- ing near Oxford. It was about 2:30 o'clock when he peeved them. The mysterious man was also seen by Jerome Wattles, a farmer, who was going west on the road mentioned, but was not close enough to recognize him. ‘A farm laborer in the employ of Mr. Atkin- son, and the only person who was near the house in the afternoon, is shown up in avery bad light. Two days before the murder, Lucy, sister of the murdered girl, made known her intention of going to Oxford that evening. In going to her room an heur afterward, and, upon entering the door, she discovered a man’s foot protruding from under the bed. She asked twice, ‘Who is there?” but received no reply. She called her father, but he had left the house in the meantime. Soon after the farm hand came out. of the room, exclaiming, *‘Don’t get frightened. It is only me.”» When asked what he was doing under the bed he sald, ‘I dropped some money, and was looking for it.” ‘A good deal of suspicion is directed toward thisman. On Friday night last the murdered girl, in company with a young man named Glass- cock, attended a dance. The day after the mur- der a handkerchief belonging to him was found in the yard at Atkinson’s house. It was tied ina knot. When questioned regarding it Glass- cock said that the murdered girl’s brother had taken it from him during a scufile they had at school. Young Atkinson does not remember keeping the handkerchief, and denies having thrown it in the yard. The house of Mr. Atkinson fs about half a mile from any neighbor. An old man at work in a neizhboring field heard no sounds of astrug- gle. The fact that no outrage was committed is accounted for by some on the theory that the girl rapidly bled to death and the villain fled. Others think the nature of the wounds and their number, and the places selected for their inflic- tion, indicate that it was the work of a mad- man, who delichted in inflicting as many wounds as possible upon the body. The physicians think the murderer could not have left the house without getting much blood on his cloth- ing. Some have hopes that this may point him out. ee AUTUMN WRAPS AND GLOVES. Mantles of Silk and Cloaks of V. ‘With Notes About Other Fanci: From the New York Evening Post. Worth has recently sent to a leading house in this city a variety of graceful and elegant car- riage wraps,among them a long Spanish mantle of black-brocaded ottoman silk lined with palest primrose surah and trimmed with cascades of real old Spanish lace, eight inches wide. This lace is carried around the foot of the mantle, headed by a wide band of Jetted Par cuedtirle: A new utility wrap has made its appearance which 1s very suitable for shopping, traveling anda protectiye covering from the autumn rains. It is of Imported sulting and will do very well indeed for an entire dress, to take the place of skirt and ulster. It fits the figure ve snugly, and twelve very narrow pleats reac from the throat to the hem of the garment both front and back. Underneath these pleats be- hind is set a half belt which goes around in front and from it depends a chatelaine attached to avelvet or leather shopping bag. Plain dark velvets are to be much used for ball wraps and opera cloaks. A superb model on exhibition is made ot a very dark shade of royal blue in long visite shape, embroidered in dark blue silk and ety WASHINGTON. lined throughout with palest blue satin. Another wrap of dark myrtle green is lined with pale primrose surah and adorned with dark Green ostrich feather trimming. The English walking coats known as the Newmarket, made of “heather” tweed, hunter's green, or fancy basket cloth, and fastened with silk cordsand brandebougs, are quite as fash- jonable as ever this season. These chic-look- ing coats are infinitely more becoming to grace- ful figures than dotman, cape, or short. visite, setting off the form to fine. advantage. They have very often an undervest or regular Louis XIV. waist-coat of white-corded silk, or serge, fastened down the front with small silver but- tons, a gtyle very popular Just now with young ladies who affect the masculine in dress. The stylish ‘“Dorsay” polonaise of plain cloth in dark monochrome, or of cheviot in miniature stripes and checks 1s algo highly popular. New gloves for cool weather wear are gen- erally shown made of chintz cashmere, very fine and soft. They are long and buttonless, em- broldered with a spray of silk flowers at the tops, and mold the hand and wrist as well as any silk glove. oe A OURIOUS LETTER. ‘The Letter of the Irish Informer Carey to the Parents of One of his Victims. ‘From the Pall Mall Gazette. ‘Mrs. Brady has just produced @ prayer book sent to her by the late James Carey, with the following“ letter, which she received out of Kilmainham from Carey two days before he sailed from Dartmouth for the Cape: - To Mr. anp Mes.

MBS, PAIGE’S THREATENED BOOK. ‘She Story of the Oshkosh Millionaire And a Brooklyn Widow Hevived. — From the New York Times: ‘The dispatch from Milwaukee announclag that Mrs. Simon B, Paige, of Davenport, Iowa, was about to publish a sensational history of her life probably attracted more attention in Brooklyn than the book will obtain anywhere. Mrs. Paige was tormerly:a resident of the city at the other end of thebridge. She was best known there as Mrs. Mary E. Fagan. An at- tractive widow of 29, the mother of two chil- dren, a girl of about10 and a boy of 7, she found in Brooklyn a host of ardent admirers, She was employed in a fashion establishment in this city when she made the bold stroke which reli¢ved her of admirers and made her Mrs. Simon B. Paige. This was about three years ago. Simon B. Paige was millionaire resident of Oshkosh, Wis., and one of the largest iumber dealers in the northwest. He was a member of the firm of Paige, Eixon & Co. and Paige Brothers, of Davenport, Iowa; of 8. B. & J. A. Paige, of Fond du Lac, Wis., and of the Paige-Sexsmith JEWELRY. ‘We have always paid especial attention ELRY DEPARTMENT, and through the fact that we do ‘not misrepresent any article, and always make {t a point ‘to sell the best goods at the lowest figures, it pas become. one of —— important Branches of out extensive to our JEW- and th the. lea the Rolled Gold Plate und Solid Gold Jewsiry, offer a beautiful assortment of SLERLIN we also SILVER GOODS in the latest patterns.

Mrs. Paige was in the hotel at the time, and her husband, who was a wit- ness of the conflagration, offered a reward of $5,000 to any one who would rescue his wife from the flames which threatened to burn her to death. A brave fireman effected her rescue; but she was so badly burned and frightened that she died soon erward. Mr. Paige re- fused to pay the reward, and sult was brought to recover the amount, and Mr. Paige had to pay. His defense was that the fireman had res- cued her in the course of his duty and was not, therefore, entitled to any reward. Before he had refused to pay and when he was posing as a hero, Mrs. Fagan wrote to Paige, asking him to accept her as a governess for his motherless children, with whom she expressed the greatest sympathy. Mr, Paige hadnever heard ot the woman before, but wrote her thanking her for her sympathy and informing her that he had no children. This did not baffle her, however, for ever, forshe wrote again. This time she claimed acquaintance on the ground that she had met him in Oshkosh 10 years before when she was on her wedding trip. She invited him to call; on her when he was in the city. This ledto a correspondence and to his visiting her. After he had visited her three times he became en- gaged to her. His friends opposed and tried to prevent his marrlage on the ground that the woman’s conduct was that of an adventuresa. They were married in Brooklyn on the 9th of last January, Mr. Paige informing his relatives at the time that ifhe was disappointed In her they would never know it, for he would kill himself. He was 59 years old, twice as old as she. ‘Their married life was not pleasant. On Sun- day. March 11, two months and two days atter the marriage, Mrs. Paige returned from church tothe Davenport Hotel, in Davenport, Iowa, where they were living, and found her husband lying on the bed, dead, witha bullet in his brain. Soon after his death the various lumber firms with which he had been connected: failed. Mr. Paige's property, estimated at several mil- lion dollars, had been wiped out, or disap- peared, and Mrs. Paige accused the relatives and partners of her deceased husband of having deprived her of her dower rights in her hus- band’s property. The quarrel is still in progress, though Mrs. Paige is reported to have obtained a fair amount fromthe estate. It is very openly asserted by people in Brooklyn, who knew the woman, that her book will never be printed. ea es ihe SPEED ON HAILWAYS, ‘The Rate at Which the Great Expresses ‘Travel. From the Albany Journal. “Tt isn’t because our engines can’t do it that the railroad trains in this country do not run as fast as they do in other countries,” an engineer onthe New Yor: Central said yesterday toa Journal reporter. He had been shown a pub- lished statement that the time made in the United States was very »slow compared to the schedules in force abroad, particularly on the English lines. “When there is need of it,” the engineer continued, ~‘we prove the capacity of our locomotives and road bed to increase the speed to the highest limit. But safety is pre- ferred here to reckless speed. There are many of us who would be glad tosend our machines at the rate of fifty mites an hour if the time table would allow it and laugh at the little danger, but the rules are strict.” Ina compilation of the relative speed of the fastest trains in the world itis found that the Innited express on the New York Central run- ning at about 403¢ miles an hour (between New York and Albany, ranks fourteenth. The regular trains on the same rallroad, which av- erage about 8514 miles an hour, are atthe foot of the list. What is knownas “the Flying Dutchman,” running from London to Bristol, 1s the train which travels more rapidly than any other in the world. It completes a distance of 1183{ miles, making no stops, in two hours, mating an average cf 5034 miles an hour. A train which rons between Paddington and Swindon, England, takes second place. The distance 1s 7734 miles, the time one hour and 27 minutes, and stops none, and the average speed 533 miles. gGermany is also progressive In this matter. On the railroad between Berlin and Hanover a train isrun which makes the 152}¢ miles in 3 hours and 48 minutes, keeping up an average of over 51 milesan hour. The train from London to Peterboro comes next, covering 74)¢ miles in one hour and 29 minutes. Thia is on an average of 5114 miles. Canada is ahead of the United States as faras expeditious rail- road is concerned, a train on the Canada Pacific, from Coteau to-Ottawa, making 78 4-10 miles in one hour and 84 minutes, or fifty miles an hour, Micluding three stops.
