ALL ABOUT FIST TRANI
FRENCH TRAIN IWAKES TEE
BEST Tint.
What an English Authority Says
About the British and
French Railroads.
In an article on "Fast Trans" in
the Pall Mall Magazine, IL 0.
Archer shows that the Britith ex-
press trains aro being beaten by
their French. rivals. Three years ago
the express trains of this country
were intrneaSurably ahead of all
others for speed, frequency, and
freedem from class restrictions ; In a
word, from the genesis of railway
travel till the summer of 1809 the
supremacy of British railways was
umballenged in every respect. Since
1,890, however, our railways have
dropped behind in the race for speed;
and although they still offer the
public the most generous—where
quantity and superiority of accom.
modittion are concerned—train ser-
vices in the world while the average
rate of speed of the same cfuniot yet
be surpassed, the fastest long, mid,
and short distance express treins are
no longer to be found in their time
tables. The railways of the United
States boast specimens of the first
and third types excelling British
achievements, but it is the French
railways which have dealt us the
real knock -out blow.
DIFFERENCE IN' SVSI'EMS.
Mr. Archer fairly recognizes the
fact that it is impossible to draw
any fair all-round comparison, be-
tween British mid American trains in
the matter of speed, because Ameri-
can railway practice is so entirely
different from our own. American
trains are made up on a different
principle • in tbe majority of in-
stances die track is so constituted
that the time tables can give no
true idea of the speed of the trains;
while the very fastest of the latter,
the famous Atlantic City "fliers,"
which are booked at nearly seventy
miles Tier hour for a sixty mile
break, are run on.specially prepared
high speed tracks, more or less con-
fined to their use : and lastly, the
larger dimensions of the transatlan-
tic, loading gauge permits of far big-
ger and more powerful locomotive
power than can be utilized in.
Europe.
On the other hand, the difference
between 'British and French railway
practice is one of detail only ; while
the fact that the French. loading
gauge is so nearly the same as our
own as to admit of the French en-.
gines, which are peirforming such
wondeful feats, being, run in -this
country with such a slight alteration
as the shortening of tbe chimney by
a few inches, and the modification -of
a riiinor cleteil or two, readers the
comparison a fair one. The most re-
markable thing a bolt t the startling
acceleration of the Freech trains
was the suddenness with which it
was brought about,. Prior to July
1, 1899, only one company, the
Northern, gave any "platform to
platform" runs at 50 miles per hour,
and there were very few of them.

fect that if the convicted person

49 miles per hour. There is nothing
that can approach this remarkable
performance on British railways. The
journey between Faris and Lille may
be compared to that between Lon-
don (King's Cross) and Sheflleid,
162 miles in length, which is per-
formed in 3 hours 11 minutes, in-
clusive speed 50.8.
The heating surface of the boners
of the mammoth French locomotives
is muth larger than that of their
British contemporaries, and the
steam pressure also Is legber. The
latter varies between 218 pounds
and PAM pounds, Whereas with us it
is only the latest Northwestern,
Northeastern, Caledoelan and Great
Western engines which possess a
steam pressure as high as 200
pounds. The French locomotives are
unsurpassed for starting quickly,
and for the ease with which they
can mount banks. The latter advan-
tage obviates the necessity' of run-
ning at high speed down hill. The
"Code" limits the speed on. French
main lines to 75 miles per hour, and
this regulation is strictly enforced,
hence there are no such rapid des-
cents as are to be experienced by
innumerable express trains in this
country ; while, on the other hand,
there are no such toilsome ascents.
BEAUTY, HONEY AND TALENT.
What Is the Greatest Power in
the World.
"Looking back on my twenty
years' experience of British politics"
said Alma. Novikoff, the novelist,
who is better known perhaps under
her nom de plume of "0. X.," "I
cannot help feeling the thange which
has been wrought in politics by the
demoralizing influence of great
wealth. We had the other day a
discussion with some of thy friends
in this rcionn when 1- asked them.
what was the greatest power in the
world ? 'Money,' said one ;
said another; `beauty,' said a third;
'one's family and connections,' said
a fourth. Then- they turned to rae,
and asked ine what I thought, and I
replied, 'Greater than the power of
money Is' the contempt for money,'
a,nd that is what some of the finest
characters in history have had. I
remember my father's admiration for
the Irungarian patriot, Dealt—how lie
lived in two small rooms, with their
walls crowded with books presented
to him by their authors. Yes he
wielded an enornmes influence, for
the proud Emperor of Austria would
go to see him and take his' a,dvice,
and Ivory statesman felt he must
have Deak's counsel."
Thcre are in the United Kingdom
about 3,450 Masonic lodges, with
fully 150,000 Masons. The whole
nuinber of Masons in the world is
about 1,750,000.
It was in 1847 • that the terrible

to deal with an almost entirely in-
digestible substance. Ties greatest
mistake of all is to one cheese after
meat, particularly after salt meat.
Meat gives the digestion quite suf-
ficient to do without further burden-
ing it. Another most unwise mix-
ture is that of
CHEESE l'alat RAW ONIONS.
The oyster is almost the only ani-
mal substance which we make a
practice of eating rateThere is
very sound reason for doing so. The
greater part of the oyster is simply
a 3130.SO of glycogen, or animal
starch, mingled with a substance
which digests it. The oyster is,
therefore, self -digestive. The great
mistake which many of us make in
eating oysters, is to cover them with
vinegar. This does away with most
of their digestive properties, and
renders them almost useless as food
—at least to those whose digestion
is not of the strongest. To drink
spirits on top of a. meal of oysters
is an equally foolish proceeding.
Many people will tell yoU that it
is a mistake to take milk in tea —
that it makes tea indigestible. As a
matter of fact it does very little
harm in, this respect. At the same
time we often make mixtures with
mirk which are little better than
poison to people whose digestions
are not strong.
We time milk or cream witn stewed
fruits. Acid fruits, such az plums,
curdle the milk and render it ex-
tremely unwholesome. Milk mixed
with alcohol in any greater propor-
tion than. one part of spirits to
twenty of milk is also to be avoid-

"I know her to speak to, but not by'

"You mean," cut in the prompt

her by sight, but not to speak to."
"Do I?" asked Mr. Jones anxious -
"Of course you do. You have seen
her so often that you know wbo she
is, but have -never been introduced
to her. Isn't that it ?"
"No, that isn't it. I never saw
her at all to know her, but I speak
to her nearly every day."
"I-Iow can that be ?"

An old horse bas committed sui-
