LONG huN WITHOUT 'A sroP.” t
The Cornwall Express Travels 194 Mlle!
Without aPause. V
The longest regular daily run made
without a stop by any railway train
in the, world has just been placed On
the schedule of the Great Western
Railway, of England.
It is made between Paddington sta-
tion, in London and Exeter, 3. distance
of 194 miles, in three hours and thirty-
six minutes, by what is known as the
Cornwall express. It is remarkable not
so much owing to the time, as for the
fact that not a stop is made from one
end of the run to the other. There
have been longer runs made without a
stop, but they have been made by spe-
cial and not regular trains. The aver-
age speed attained by the Cornwall
Express when making {this run is 51.7
miles an hour, although, owing to a
peculiar construction or the road at
Bristol, 118 miles from London, the
train is obliged to slow down to a speed
of ten miles an hour.
This express train is composed of six
long coaches, a tender. and engine. An
American would call 'it a vestibule
train, but the English prefer to call the
cars “bo-g'ieis clerestorle'd corridor
coaches," bog‘le beingaotenh applied‘t
to the trucks/"They are rully as heavy
as an ordinary drawing room car, each
one weighing about forty-seven thou-
sand pounds, while the train without
the engine and tender weighs one h-un-
dred and forty tons. The weight 01
the engine and tender is eighty-one
tons, _making the total weight of the
train as it rushes along on its Icing run
two hundred and twenty-one tons.
During the run it is necessary to
take water for the engine twice. This,
however, does not necessitate any stop,
as it is taken up from a trench beside
the track as the train speeds along at
nearly 3. miles minute.
The engine which draws this essen-
tially “through train” is a curious
looking ponder-Gus affair quite unlike
any locomotive seen on American
roads. It has on either side a single
huge'driving wheel seven feet eight
inches in diameter, while what must
'by comparison be termed the small
wheels 'of the engine, six in number,
known as trailers, are four feet six
inches in diameter. .
The water tank of. the engine holds
thirty thousand gallons, and when run-
ning at full speed there is a steam
pressure of 160 pounds to the square
inch, while there is a heating surface
of 1,561 square feet. ,
Each day the run is made, the train
leaving Paddington Station at 10.25
o’clock in the morning, and it never
fails to roll into St. David’s Station, in
Exeter, exactly on time. The time al-
lowed by rthe schedule for this run
makes no allowance for delays of any
_ kind. ' ,
GERMAN EMPEROR KING OF ENGLAND
The Prince -of Wales’ Keirship to the
Throne Disputuble.
It is not pleasant for the loyal sub-
jects and cronies of :the genial Prince
of Wales to remember that he is not
exactly the heir to the throne, and that
the German Emperor may rule over
them some day. The conservative old
lords of [the realm shiver in their boots
at the thought. A German on the
British throne! A ruler who does not
even honor the country by living in it.
England ‘ tacked ‘on the tail of
Germany!
Horrible! But William of Germany
is the eldest child of Queen Victoria’s
first born, and hence, by direct des-
cent the heir apparent. Albert Ed~
ward is the second child of Her Ma-
jesty, and Princess Alice, now dead,
the Duke of Edinburgh, the Princess
Christian, the Marchioness of Lorne,
the Duke of Connaught, the Duke of
Albany, and the Princess of Batten-
berg follow. Under the Salic law
women were excluded from succeed-
ing to estates, on account of military
duties.
system. The law was rectified in 511,
The Lalic law is ‘held in most Euro-
pean countries, except Spain. By this
law Hanover was lost to England
when Victoria came to the Throne.
If ‘Victorfra reigns, why cannot the son
of her eldest daughter, who should in-
herit the Throne—New York Jour-
nal.
How to Write to the Pope.
Are you intending to write to the
Pope? If you are, get out your Latin
grammar and buy some carta palomba,
which is an especially prepared paper
used only to write to His Holiness.
Begin your communication “Beatis-
sim‘e Peter;” enclose it in an envelope
directed in Latin to “His Holiness,
Pope Leo 'XIII., Reigning Happily.”
If the letter then be handed to a dip‘
lomat accredited to the Papal Court
or to a gentleman of the Pope’s house-
hold it may possible reach him. ‘
If, however, it is directed to “His
Holiness, the Pope, Prefect of the Holy
Roman and General Inquisition,” it
must be delivered to him under pain of,
excommunication. Not many people
take advantage of this, however.—Ncw

For Cleaning Lenses.
For cleaning optical lenses 3. German
technical journal recommends vegeta-
ble pith. For this purpose the medulla
of rushes, elders or sunflowers is cut
out, the piece-s dried and pasted sin-
gly alongside of one another upon a.
piece of cork, whereby a brush-like ap-
paratus is obtained which is passed
over the surface of the lens. For very
small lenses pointed pieces of elder
pith are employed—St. .Louis Globe-
Democrat. ' ' .

Every woman loves a piece of good

, Made of Champagne Cor-kl.
“ 'At a London-club there is the most
unique pair of curtains in existence.
This pox-tiers is formed of hundreds
of champagne corks, taken from every
known brand of champagne, each of
'which bears the tin top which adorn-
ed it when the cork was in its parent
bottle. The corks are made into strings,
there being sixty of them to each
string. Between every cork there are
three his Chinese beads Of turquoise-
blue. ;
The corks are tied to ‘a white en-
amelled pole, with fancy ends, and big
sashes of blue ribbon adorn the brass
knobs. The total effect is distinctly
pretty.
What makes this unique 'portiere
doubly valuable is the fact that each
cork bears the autograph of a famous
actor or actress of the present day.
White Barege Gown.
Newer in white gowns than those, of
duck, pique, or “dressy” muslin are
toilets Of white barege made over white
taffeta silk and trimmed with a frill or
ruches on the gored skirt that is shap-
ed with a. demi-train. The elaboration
of these dresses is in the, round waist
which is decorated with chiffon pleat-
ings arranged in surplice form, a nar-
row vest of handsome lace and belt and
shoulder bows and ends of medium-
wide white satin ribbon. The sleeves
are very small mutton-leg shapes ta-
pering to the wrist and there turning
back with a. narrow lace cuff finished
with a satin bow. A {rill of pleated
chiffon falls over the hand. The neck
is finished to correspond with ribbon
bows, lacepoints, and a standing trill
of chiffon. __

Ueetul Items.
White silk handkerchiefs must never
be washed in very hot water or they
will turn yellow; use as little soap as
possible. .
To destroy ants paint the floor round
their haunts with paraffin oil, and pour
boiling water, to which has been added
a little catholic acid, down their holes.
. To clean gas globes wash in cold soda
water, rinse in cold water, and when
dry paint all over with spirits of salts,
using a clean brush, and rinse finally.
Immersing the head in cold water
every morning, or moistening the hair
incessantly are injurious; the hair
should always be carefully covered with
an oilskin cap while in the bath.
Bird. on Summer Hate.
The odd association of tulle and
birds is noticed again on many of the
expensive summer hats, choux and
loops Of the airy material supporting a
snow—white, violet, or jet-black bird.
Often only the wings or tail feathers
are employed among clouds of tulle,
while perhaps the head and breast
plumage of some mutilated songster
peeps out from similar clouds on an-
other model. Tall pointed feathers are
likewise dyed a. brilliant scarlet or a.
deep blue, and these and also bright
green parrot’s wings .are used on hats _
of jet black.
The Handle Inconvenienced Him.
Pat had been presented with a hand-
some walking-stick. The stick happen-
end to be a few inches too long, so Pat
promptly cut off the splendid silver-
mounted handle. A friend observing
this asked him why in the world he
had cut off the handle instead of short-
ening the stick at the bottom.
“Och! now phwat do yez take me
fer?” replied Pat. “Sure, and wasn’t it
the top that inconvanianced me?"
A Pleasing Effect.
A‘ pleasing effect was achieved in the
decoration of a. music—room recently,
on the occasion‘of a wedding, by the
use of an India shawl. It was a. large
and fine one, with a pink centre. This
was spread over the grand piano, and
on the pink centre stood ,a pink jardi:
niere filled with apple blossoms. At the
side of the piano, in a tall Chinese jar
of pale pink and green, was massed
more blooms of dogwood and apple
blossoms mingled.
A Ten Farm in America. -
It will be news to many people that
there is a tea-farm in America. This
is in South Carolina, and recently, at
the annual breakfast of a Boston club,
one of its members‘who lives in the
Southern States, sent a package of tea
from this initial farm, which was
brewed and served to the company.
Those who drank it pronounced it ex-
cellent.
“Well, little boy, what’s your name?’
“Shadrach Nebuchadnezzar Yoots.”
“Who gave you that name?”
“I don’t know but if I find out when
I gets older they'll be sorry fault.”—
