Royal Blue Line’s Five Hour Trains.
To Washington in 5 hours from New
. ork is the time made by the Royal
.lue Line trains leaving stations of
"entral R. R. of New Jersey, foot of
iberty street, at 11:30 a. m., 1:00 pm.
nd 3:00 p. m.; South Ferry, foot of
hitehall street, 5 minutes earlier,
léiily. The latter train, known as the
‘Royal Blue Limited,” has a counter-
art that leaves Washington at the
ame hour, reaching New York at 8:00
. 113. Both these trains were built
specially for this service by the Pull-
nan Palace Car company, and are con-
cded tobe the finest specimen of car
onstruction of the present age. The
Limited" is made up entirely of par-
or and dining cars. In addition to
have a. general change of time in the.
oyal Blue Line service took place on

GIRLS WHO BOTHER THE BOYS.
[‘heir ’i‘houghtless Disregard Ufa. hIan’a
Business Obligations.
Girls are by far too apt to thought-
lessly punch holes in the business
prospects of the young men of their
acquaintancc. They work the mischief,
in various ways. They think it "great
fun” to step up to a telephone, for OX-
a~m=ple. and “ring up” some young man
while he is at his office. only to send
him some unnecessary message or :lU-
dulgc in some flippannt talk. They are
forgetful of the fact that what may be
rare sport of their end of the line may
cause serious embarrassment or 'worse
to the young" man at the other end.
Even if the young man enjoys it his
employer does not. Sending unneces-
sary or even fancied necessary notes
to young men at their offices during
business hours is another favorite
“pastime” of girls. Sometimes the
"fun” is carried further by meeting :1
young man at his luncheon hour, or by
even calling at his office. Again, even
a more dangerous element is intro
duced by girls urging young men to
leave their offices before closing hours
to escort them to some place of amuse-
ment, some game,~0Ir to a train.
The danger in these acts is not in
themselves, but in the injurious dis-
trac‘ions which they mean. Business
hours. though doubtless they seem in-
explicably long to girls are, in reality,
all too short for the accomplishment
of things necessary to a young man’s
success. llence every 'lllO'lllGllt when
he is at business should be precious to
the right sort of a young man. His
mind should be focused on the prob-
lems before him. which mean either
his success or his failure—Ladies

Curiosities of the Bible.
_Thc following Bible curiosities are
said to have been gained by :1, study
of the good book by the Prince of
Granada, heir apparent to the Spanish
throne. during his thirty-tlnce years‘
imprisonment at the Place of Skulls
prison. Madrid:
“In the Bible the word Lord is
found 1,853 times; the word Jehovah,
6,855 times, and the word reverence
but once. and that in the ninth verse
of the 111th Psalm. The eighth verSu
of the 118th Psalm is the middle verse
of the Bible. The ninth verse of the
eighth chapter of Esther is the long-
est verse. The thirty-fifth verse, elev-
enthchapter of St. John is the short-
est. In the 107th Psalm four verses
are alike. the eighth, fifteenth, twcnty~
first and thirty—first. Each verse of
the 136th Psalm ends alike. No names
or words with more than six syllnblcé
are found in the Bible. The thirty-
scventh chapter of Isiah and the nine-
teenth chapter of 11 Kings are alike.
The word girl occurs but once in the
Bible. and that in the third verse and
third chapter of Joel: and the word
buy but once, Zach. 8:5. There or“
found in both books of tho Bible
3.586.483 letters and 773.693 words."—-

The Human Body.
The mechanism of the human body is
the most complicated and perfect in ex‘
lstence. There is no movement known
to engineers which does not exist in
our bodies. The muScles alone number
five hundred, and the alimentary canal
is about thirty-two feet. The heart is
six inches in length and four inches in
diameter, and beats seventy times per
minute, 4,200 per hour, 100,800 times
per day, 36,792.000 times per year. At'
each beat of the heart two and a half
ounces of blood are thrown out of it,
175 ounces per minute, 656 pounds per
hour, seven and three-quarters of a ton
per day. All the blood in the body
passes through the heart in three min-
utes. This little organ, by its cease-
less industry, pumps each day what is
equal-to lifting 122 tons one foot high,
or one ton 122 feet high. Each square
inch of skin contains 3,500 perspiratory
pores, each of which may be likened to
alittle drainpipe one-fourth of an inch
long, making an aggregate length in
the entire surface of the body of 201.-
166 feet.
His Wife Appreciated.
An honest exchange of compliments
is always an agreeable thing. AINew
England ‘minister, recently married.
had desired one of his neighbors to
secure 'a horse to be driven in the new '
phaeton which the clergyman had
bought with a view to his bride‘s
pleasure. _
The minister’s wife made her first
appearance in church on the Sunday
after the wedding, and was approved
by the entire congregation for her
sweet face and simple manner.
The next afternoon the minister took
his bride to drive, and passing his
neighbor on the road, he stopped to
say, pleasantly:
“You bought us a very good horse.
and we have to thank you for that.
Mr. lVilson.” ,
"You’re welcome.” said the parish-
ioner. with gravity: “and you've chos~
en an excellent minister’s wit'c. sir.
which is about as difficult. The whole
parish thanks ye for waif—Youth?»

Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. W’illiams
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such
a slave was made free. He says: “ My
wife has been so helpless for live years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im-
proved and able to do her own work.”
This supreme remedy for female dis-
eases quickly cures nervousness. sleep-
lessness, melancholy. headache, back-
eche, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a godsend
to weak, sickly, run down people.

Hill-(loo. Holspitality.
In his private capacity the Hindoo
is frequently very hospitably inclined.
The fact that his caste prejudices
preclude him from eating with Euro-
peans does not always prevent him
from offering an invitation to dinner
—his idea of English hospitality. This
consists of his driving his guests to a
hotel and paying for dinner, while he
awaits its consumption in another
part of the house. It takes one some
little time to get used to this sort of
procedure: but nl'trr :1. while one sees

Five Hours to Washington via Royal Blue Line.
Three new trains daily from New
York, make the quickest time between
here, Philadelphia, Baitimorc and
Washington, reaching the latter city
in Shours. They depart from Central

Liberty street at 11:30 a. in. 1:00 p. m.
and 3:00 p. m. South Ferry boat of

The latter train is known as the “Royal
Blue Limited,” composed entirely of
parlor and dining cars that were built
especially for this service by the Pull-
man Palace Car Company. and are con—
ceded to be the finest specimens of the
car builder’s art turned out in modern
times. A general change of time on
the Royal Blue Line occurred Novem-
ber 20th, involving other fast trains
through to Philadelphia,Baltimore and
