"Everybody knows that extra care exercised whenever her Majesty travels by rail," remarked George La sham, familiarly known among rail way men as the "Queen's driver," te the writer one day recently, "but few people realize how thorough and com plete are the precautions taken te guard against any and every possible danger." Mr. Lasham, It may be explained, has driven the "Royal Special" over the London and Southwestern system for nearly forty years, and is there fore an authority on the subject. "Before every journey," he ex plained, "no matter how short the dis tance may be, the engine and tender attached to the special are carefully examined by the chief locomotive superintendent.
A pilot engine precedes the train, all ordinary traffic is su8 pended, and the line for the whole dis tance is watched by relays of plate layers. To the driver are given the most explicit instructions as to speed, stoppages, to disregard any 01 which would be to court instant dis missal. Printed instructions are giver to every official accompanying the train, who is strictly forbidden to give any information respecting the an rangements. "When any special danger is appre hended the ordinary precautions are redoubled. For instance, during the dynamite scare in the jubilee year, ev.
ery piece of coal used in the furnace was broken into little bits in the pres ence of an official before being loaded on the tender, and the interior of the boller was carefully examined and scraped. The object was, of course the same in both instances -to guard against the introduction of explo Answers. A LIBERAL HOSPITALITY, An Irish Gentleman's Unique Manner ol Entertainment. Some years ago a San Francisco banker maintained a country house upon what were supposed to be entire ly original lines. It was, however, 8 poor imitation of the establishment of Mr.
Matthew of Thomaston, Ireland, who lived in the earlier years of the last century. Mr. Mathew inherited an annual income of about $125,000. For many years he lived abroad in a very frugal manner in order to accumulate an amount that would enable him to indulge in a form of hospitality in his own country in harmony with the plan he had devised. His house in Ireland might be compared In size with a modern hotel.
Each of those he wanted to visit him had 8 suite of apartments and ordered meals at the hour that best sulted him. He could eat alone or he could invite others to join him. All the vis itors hunted, shot, fished, played bil. liteds or cards at will, and all brought their own horses. There was a regular bar where drinks were served without stint.
Mr. Mathew as host completely effaced himself. He min gled with the visitors as one whose stay was as definitely fixed as theirs. In fact he conducted his house as if it were a hotel, with the exception that all was without charge. No servant was allowed to accept a tip.
Violation of this rule was followed by the instant dismissal of the offender. This establishment, unilke other country houses of Ireland of the period, was conducted with perfect order and method and without waste. His hospitality was lavish, and attracted to Mr. Matthew all of the more famous men of the York Sun. ONE OF THE JOBS OF CHEMISTS.
Analyze Food for Old Men Who Think Young Wives Wish Their Demise. Chemists sometimes have queer ex periences, The following facts were told by a professor in one of our West ern universities: "For about ten years I have made a speciaity of examining and reporting upon cases of real 01 suspected poisoning. As a number of my cases have been connected with murder trials, I have had considerable notice in the daily papers. This reputation for making analyses for poisons has brought me a queer class of patrons. "Every year I have one or more old men come to me with samples of food to be examined for poison.
These men, without exception, have married young wives, and when the husband is taken sick and does not recover as quickly as he thinks he should, he bethe to suspect that his young wife a to get rid of him, and is poisonwhim gradually through the me. (dium of food. Of course he does not want his wife to know of his sus. picions, so he quietly gets a sample of the food he suspects, and at some unusual hour for work, generally either early in the morning or very late in the evening, he comes to me and tells me very secretly that he wishes to have an examination for poison "Now, the odd part of that, though I have made a number of such analyges, I have never found poison present in any case. Then the husband is very much afraid that his wife will find out he suspected her, and he gets out of my laboratory in the quickest and quietest mauner possible.

Queerer pets than those of Bert Kingsbury of 681 Van Buren street, Chicago, it would be difficult to find. He owns an armadillo and a porcupine, which two animals: are on the best of terms not only with Mr. Kingsbury and his family, but with each, other. Mr. Kingsbury is very fond of them and treats them as if they were pet dogs or cats.
The porcupine has been Mr. Kingsbury's property for the longer period. He got it in Canada nearly two years, ago when it was very young. It is somewhat different in appearance from ordinary porcupine whose pictures they found in books. It is stout, heavily built animal, with the spines of the ordinary porcupine, which are nearly hidden by long hair.
It looks not unlike a guinea pig, its hind legs being rather longer than its fore legs. Each of its hind feet has five toes while only four are on its fore feet. The porcupine, whose scientific name is Erithizon Dorsatus, is found in nearly every part of Canada where there is any remnant of the original forest left. With the growth of the lumber industry and the destruction of the forest he has been driven away into rather remote sections of the country. Mr.
Kingsbury got the armadillo while he was in Texas last spring. It is a queer looking animal, about three teet long and as slender as a weasel. It is covered with armor consisting partly of solid bucklerlike plates and partly of movable transverse bands which allow it the freedom of motion of a snake in spite of its armor. Its A Chicago Man's Queer Pets. under parts have no armor, but are covered with thick hair.
Its legs are short and it is very clumsy in appearance, but nevertheless it can run pretty fast and sometimes leads Mr. Kingsbury a merry chase when he tries to catch it. When the porcupine was introduced to the armadillo they became friends at once, although Mr. Kingsbury's acquaintances had predicted that there would probably be trouble. It was just as well that the two animals did harmonize, for if there were a fight there would be a very lively time in the Van Buren street house.
The porcupine's tame as a fighter. is well known and the armadillo can also put up a good combat at a pinch, having long, sharp claws, which it uses in its country home to dig into the ground and make a hole for itself. Both the porcupine and the armadillo eat fruit, roots and herbs, although sometimes the armadillo adds insects to its diet. Mr. Kingsbury has entered this pair of queer chums in the household pet show held at the Panorama Building, and he is very confident that none of those at the show will be as odd.
-Chicago Inter-Ocean. SE The Locomotive, Whistle. It is told that the locomotive whistle was invented because of the destruction of a load of eggs. When locomotives were first built, the country roads were for the most part crossed at grade, and the engine-driver had no way of giving warning of his approach except by blowing a tin horn. The horn, it may be imagined, was far from being suffiwarning.
One day the sear 1833 a farmer of Thornton was crossing the railroad track on one of the country roads with a great load of eggs and butter. Just as he came out upon the track a train approached. The engineman blew his horn lustily, but the farmer did not hear it. Eighty dozen of eggs and fifty pounds of butter were smashed into an indistinguishable, unpleasant mass, and mingled with the kindling wood to which the wagon was reduced. The railway company had to pay the farmer the value of his fifty pounds of butter, nine hundred eggs, his horse, and his wagon.
It was considered a very serious matter, and straightway a director of the company, Ashland Baxter, by name, went to Alton Grange, where George Stephenson lived, to see if he could not invent something that would give a warning more likely to be heard. Stephenson went to work, and the next day had a contrivance which, when attached to the engine boiler, and the steam turned on, gave out a shrill, discordant sound. The railroad directors, who were greatly delighted, ordered similar contrivances attached to all the locomotives, and from that day the voice of the locomotive whistle has never been silent. Light and Winks. A Russian physician, having noticed that when a light fatigues the eye, the eye seeks repose in a wink, and that the more tiresome the light is the more frequent is the winking, proceeded to compare the tiresomeness of different lights by counting the winks; and he found that with a candle the eye winked 6.8 times a minute, with town gas 2.8 times, with daylight 2.2 times, and with electric light 1.8 times a minute.

CRUCIFIED HIMSELF. Bound Hoping to Save the World, Nailed Himself to the Cross. From far away Kamloope, in British Columbia, comes the strange story of the self crucifixion of James Bound, a carpenter, whose religious exaltation became acute mania. He believed himself called upon to emulate the Divine Atonement, and by a lingering death upon 1 the cross lift the burden of sin from the world. He proclaimed himself 88 a Messiah.
He entered upon his mission in his thirtieth year, as Jesus did. To the grinning crowd, whom his disordered fancy made apostles, he cried: "Ye who crucify me shall not be cursed. have had a vision from God, and he has shown me that this atonement shall be made without a betrayal, without a Judas. Your hands will not be stained with blood money. It is to the redemption of the world that I bid you come.
The glory shall be mine, but ye shall behold it. Tomorrow ye shall nail me to the cross." That night he made and planted the cross. The next day he stood before it and awaited the arrival of those who he believed would assist him in his martyrdom. But they came not, and he went into town to remonstrate with them for their lack of faith in his mission. Again and again he waited in vain.
At last one Sunday, after taking part in a religious gathering, he returned to the lonely cabin in which he lived, bathed in the adjacent stream, and then with the stoicism or indifference to suffering of the fanatic deliberately took his place on the cross, drove sharp nails through his feet, and with the hammer in his right hand nailed his left hand to an arm of the cross. With a knife he gashed himself in the side. Then he waited for some one to come along and complete the crucifixion. A man out looking for a strayed horse the next morning found the demented creature, weak from the great loss of blood. The torture seemed to have worked a change in Bound's idea of his mission.
The idea that be was called upon to redeem the world seemed to have oozed out with his blood, for as the man drew out the nails and freed him from the crucifix, he said: "It is foolish to say that a savage can bear more pain and hardship and privation than a white man. I am proving this myself. For weeks have lived on refuse and the weeds and roots that grow on the edge of the river, and surely I have stood it as well as any savage could. You can see for yourself that I am not wasted." -New York Journal. INDIA CURRY.
A Hot-Weather Use of the Condiment Not Generally Known to Americans. The use of that wholesome condiment, curry powder, in the average American family is becoming greater each year. This powder has been in general use in England since the days of Warren Hastings, and Englishmen have become very fond of It, some sprinkling the curry from a holder as an American would pepper upon his food. People living where the beat of the climate makes it necessary to use stimulating condiments in their viands learn quickly to like a curried dish or anything with this powder in it. Perhaps it is not generally known that slices of cold meat or fowl heated in a well-seasoned curry sauce and served for luncheon on a bot summer's day are better for the stomach than cold meats alone.
A curry powder is used with great success in seasoning fish sauces and vegetable dishes as well as meats, and a little of this powder in soups adds to their favor.New York Sun. Hidden Treasure. It is asserted by the Industrielle Echo, a reputable German paper, that thousands of five-franc pieces are split into two halves by their French owners every year, in the hope of "discovering' an immense hidden treasure. This treasure, according to the legend firmly believed in France, is an order to pay the holder 100,000 francs in silver five-franc coins. When Napoleon Bonaparte first set the five-franc pieces in circulation the conservative mind of the Erench revolted against the numismatic revolution, and it was very difficult to induce a Frenchman to receive or proffer the new coin.
Hence, according to the story, Napoleon gave it to be understood that be bad ordered a check, for 100,000 francs, written upon asbestos paper, to be concealed in one of the new silver pieces. From that day to this nobody has objected to the five-franc piece. An Uprising in Hie Midst.

PARAGRAPHS FOR CHILDREN, A teacher in one of our public schools makes "Arbor Day" for herself by 8 little celebration which she gives the children under her care. She talks to them of the importance of trees to a fertile country, of the causes of and preventives to destruction of forests, and then, when she thinks they have fully entered into the spirit of the occa. sion, she appoints the time for their own tree-planting. This is a date necessarily contingent upon the weather and long enough in advance for each child to prepare his offering. On the holiday set the whole roomful meet at the school, each with a basket of provisions, a trowel and some chosen germ: an acorn, a cherry pit, apple seeds, The selection of these last always leads to the child's imbibing a good deal of useful information as to what he should plant and why.
The party then take the cars a station or two out into the suburbs. Here they ramble about, each squad under the strict supervision of a monitor appointed for the day, and most proud of the honor. They know where they can plant their future follage and take some spot along the highway in which to bury the little acorn which, some day, may grow into a mighty oak. At an hour previously arranged they all meet at the appointed spot and eat their luncheon together. There is then usually time for a little programme to be carried out of recitations and songs appropriately chosen, all guided and helped out by the teacher and her own words on the subject of trees, their uses, beauty and history, Sometimes the monitors or others previously appointed her here with information interestingly given.
As twilightthe soft, sweet twilight of the late spring begins to fall they are returned to city homes, a happy, tired band children.

ASHLEY. The Ne stated a few months ago that Ashley should have better police but at that time some of the people thought that one paid policeman was enough in a town like Ashley. If the Counellmen don't appoint one or two more policemen to look after the town it wul be unsafe to talk the streets late at night without being held up by a gang of high taymen and b- ed. 00 laet Friday night Thorn on the Railroad, was murderously assaulted and robbed on the street by one or two highwaymen. Franklin was on his way home from work and stepped in the 88- loon of J.
J. Lehman to get some of his bills changed. After he left the 88- loon he was followed down the street by a couple of fellows who assaulted him and took the $48 he had in his pooket, besides his gold watch. Now 12 we had a couple more policemen in the town Mr. Frenklin would not have been assaulted.
But ft seems the tramps and loafers that are so numerous in this town at night know that there is but one paid pollceman in Ashley and that it is impossible for him to cover the town in a night. On Saturday night -officer John Clark left his bicycle on the sidewalk while he went in a house to visit a friend, but when he returned his bicycle was missing. Of course the fellow that took the wheel was not afraid of being captured in Ashley. All he had to do was to mount the wheel and ride out of the town. Some of the Councilmen are now contemplating Itine purchasing of a light plant that will cost the taxpayers about $5,000 a year.
But the citizens will have to have a vote on the question and the vote win be no.

Then we would have better police surveillance and besides our taxes would not. be so high.
