Wlieu Hail way* Were New,
It was in 1830 that the opening of
the railway between Liverpool and
Manchester was celebrated. The Duke
of Wellington’s ideas concerning the
Iron road are thus described by Chap-
lain Glelg: “The Duke of Wellington
was Invited In his capacity of prime
minister to take part in the opening
Journey. He declined, saying that no
great or permanent good could come of
the invention, because stagecoaches al-
ready traveled alt the rate of eight or
ten miles In the hour and If any at-
tempt were made to exceed that pace
the respiration of the passengers would
become painful, perhaps Impossible.
The duke would listen to no remon-
strances. He thought, as others did,
that the experiment was risky and de-
rided the idea of accelerating the pace,
as was promised, to twenty miles an
hour. Even a twelve mile pace he re-
garded as excessive, because difficult,
if not impossible, to control and agreed
in the opinion that the Iron way would
never, for general traffic, supersede our
macadamized roads, then brought to
perfection.”

I St. Andrew Underahnft.
In Leadenhall street, London, there
is a church bearing the strange name
Of St Andrew Undershaft a name that
would not be intelligible to any one
without a knowledge of the history of
the locality. It seems that some 400
yean ago every l&ay day a high shaft
Of pole was set up opposite the south
door of St. Andrew’s and adorned with
flowers. So tall was the pole It was
actually higher than the church steeple,
which was therefore fiterafly under the
shaft. Now, there being several
churches dedicated to St. Andrew, this
one was further described as Under-
shaft to prevent It from being mis-
taken for any of the others. Th« old
May pole having been denounced as an
idol by an overaealous curate In the
roigtt of the boy king, the Inhabitants
Of the district sawed it in pieces for
firewood. Thus is it that in the name
of m still existing church Is preserved
an interesting bit of bygone history
Which otherwise would probably have
passed away forever.

Napoleon** Height
How tall was Napoleon? Bourrlenne,
who, according to a writer, had ample
opportunities for observation, says that
he was five feet two Inches. Captain
Maitland, who measured him on the
Bellerophon, found his distinguished
passenger to be five feet seven Inches.
Constant says that Napoleon was five
feet one and a half inches. Bunbury
insists that be was not less than live
feet six Inches. Napoleon chose short
men Invariably for difficult enterprises.
He was convinced that Caesar and
Alexander were men of diminutive
stature. Speaking of the achievements
of his generals, Napoleon said that
Kleber had “all the qualities and de-
fects of, a tall man.”

About one pineapple In 20,000 has
seeds in it, and it is from these seeds
that new varieties are produced.
Prunes are the dried fruit of certain
kinds of plums which are put into very

French prunes, are made In Provence.
Not One Aa^reed.
Dr. X. of Capitol hill has—rare thing
for a Washington physlcian-r-an Irish
driver. The doctor’s horse is kept at a
livery stable, and when Its owner and
the driver arrived there on a Sunday
morning not long ago the doctor dis-
covered that his watch had run down
hours before. He asked the time of one
of the men lounging about the stable.
The man produced a noisy tin turnip
and announced the hour as 8. The liv-
ery stable keeper’s watch made It 8:57.
Somebody else’s bad It 9:10.
“Come on, Jim,” said the doctor to
the driver. “It’s no use. No two of
these watches agree.”
“No two of tbim!” said Jim. “Faith,
divil a wan of thim agreesl”—Washing-

POWER OF CAST! AND INFLUENCE

An interesting book might be writ-
ten on the influence of the English
landowning class. Even in these days
of ubiquitous manufactures, when to
look at a map uf England im to wonder
how it is possible for a landowning
class even to exist, the social and po-
litical Influence of that claag la some-
thing more than maintained.
The ambition of every successful
Englishman is to have “a place in the
country,” to get a foothold on the as-
piring territorial ladder, and the ranka
of the landed gentry are continually
being re-enforced, more so perhaps to-
day than ever before, by recruits from
the industrial army. The immense util-
ity of the English country gentleman
will not be questioned by any one who
really knows England.
But at the same time It Is equally in-
disputable that the sort of life he af-
fects—the endless indulgence in sport,
the salmon stream, the grouse moor,
the hunting box, the pheasant preserve
and so on—is on the whole one of more
or less harmless and often irresponsi-
ble idleness and that the neighborhood
in which he lives is rarely apt to re-
gard hint as an apostle of strenuous-
ness.
The “country” everywhere stands for
leisure, and so long as the “country*
continues to represent the supreme ob-
ject of an Engllahman’s ambition and
his social ideal so long will England be
leisurely. *
Again, in an old and stable land, with
social standards as fixed as the social
foundations and governed by a mon-
archy, the conventions play an enor-
mous part, and the conventions In Efig-
land are all against hard work. It is
the leisure olass that rnleB, that makes
up society, that holds all the positions
men naturally covet.
A sort of “Four Hundred” atmos-
phere permeates England. In America
one gete a whiff of it on Fifth avenue
and at Newport, but in England one Is
never away from it The number of
things, for instance, that a “gentleman”
cannot do without loSIng social caste is,
in England, so prodigious as to form
almost a schedule of forbidden in-
dustries. There are some trades and
professions that are “respectable," and
those that are not
Only an Englishman knows which is
which, why a doctor ranks socially
above a dentist why a man who sells
should be irretrievably below the than
who manufactures, and he, the Eng-
lishman, knows it by an instinct which
is born in him and which he never
examines and so cannot define. Any
one who can tell why the merchant
should consider himself and be con-
sidered by others the social superior
of the biggest storekeeper in the king-
dom will be well on the way toward
understanding England.
The daughter of a wealthy manufac-
turer of kettles marries the owner of
the largest dry goods store iu London.
Why should she be thought and spo-
ken of as having married a little,
though only a little, beneath her? Per-
sonally, I do not know. I merely Ob-
serve, without attempting an explana-
tion, that the man in the wholesale
business is more looked up to than the
man in the retail business, that While
the former Is not averse to talking
about his affairs, the latter la only too
anxious to “sink the shop,” and that
social position in England is regulated
by a host , of perfectly factitious and
conventional considerations more read-
ily felt than expressed.
Such graduations exist of course to
some extent everywhere, but nowhere
are they so stereotyped, nowhere do
they strike so deeply, as in England. 1
have never yet been able to discover
an Englishman who had not the social
privilege of despising some other Eng-
lishman, and the lower one penetrates
In the social scale the more complex
and mysterious and the more rigidly
defined do these lines of demarcation
become.
The point Is that throughout England
the sense of the nobility of work for
its own sake, if not actually lost, has
become so confused by the Intrusion
of quite alien factors that the sphere
of action open to a young man of what-
ever rank is sensibly circumscribed.
The country, while democratic in form,
is not democratic in spirit. It has not
accepted and does not subscribe to
that gospel of work which lies at the
root of American strength, American
success, American demp^racy. ,
An/ one Who has looked Into English
trade unionism most have realized how
largely It is mixed up with class spirit
The workingman who knows that hi#

months’ holiday in a year U not likely
to have a keen appreciation of the dig-

comes that of doing aa little as he can,

The alchemists of the middle ages
were Incessantly occupied with the en-
deavors to transmute metals. Many
alloys were known to them which are
lost to us, and their recipes contain
many useful hints worthy of the at-
tention of modern scientists. There is
a curious book in the Blbliotheque Na-
tional entitled “Liber Sacerdotum”,
(“The Book of the Priests”). It Is sup-
posed to have been written by the Jew-
ish priests, but probably dates from
the eighteenth century. Here is one^of
the curious recipes contained lu this
book: Mix a quantity of iron filings
with a quarter of its weight of red
orplment. Press the mixture In a linen
cloth, Inclose in a smelting pat and
leave it for a whole night in a heated
furnace. Next add some oil and na-
tron and Just as much .copper filings
as there Is iron. Melt ali together and
the result will be a fine material for
hammers.
"Falsaalag Tnm,
A gardener discovered the fact that
trees are often sent to an untimely
death by poison, usually arsenic. The
reason for'tbl* does uot Appear until
one hears the ntan’s explanation. Sup-
pose a man has rented a house which
has too much shade, the law will not
allow him to have one or more of the
trees cut down without the consent of
the owner. As it often happens'that
tenants and landlords hold different
views on the subject of shade, the
trees, remain as a bone of contention.
It is then that the gardener la called
to administer a dose of poison, for
when a tree is dead the tenant may
have It removed. Five cents’ worth of
arsenic is sufficient to kill a large tree.
A hole is made In the trunk, arsenic
dropped in, and naturs does the rest
It never falls.—New York Herald.
■aw ta Walk.
There is no virtue in a dawdling
saunter. The slow and languid drag-
ging on# foot after the other, which
some people call walking, would tire
an athlete; it utterly exhausts a weak
person, and that Is the reason why
many delicate persona think they can-
not walk. To derive any benefit from
the exercise it Is necessary to walk
with a light elastic step, which swings
the weight of the body so easily from
one leg to the other that its weight Is
not felt and which produces a healthy
glow, showing thkt the sluggish Mood
is stirred to action in the most remote
veins.—Family Doctor.

The villager! who entertain the
stranger in their houses naturally
enough^expect him to talk to them, for
thus only can he give them the return
they anticipate for their hospitality.
As a general rule they will accept no
remuneration for the food and shelter
they give, hut they do expect payment
for the feed of the animate.
The conversation one hue to carry on
with the hoet and the other villagers
who drop in. to see and pay their re-
spects to the stranger la entertaining
and even amusing as long as one is a
novice in the country, because it ia
unsophisticated prattle; such as one
must have heard In Europe In the mid-
dle agee. One unfailing topic is the
rotundity of the world, the negative
side of the question being always de-
fended. They cannot believe that the
sun remains stationary, for why should
they disregard the evidence of their
own eyes, which shows them that It
does move across the vault of heaven?
They ask you how much tribute your
countrymen pay to their padishab
(whom we wrongly call sultan), whose
foot Is upon the neck of all nations, as
they firmly believe. They Inquire mi-
nutely into your business at home and
your reasons for travel In their coun-
try, etc. They handle with childlike
Joy and amaaement your rifle and. re-
volver, your knife, pen, pencils, your
helmet and clothing, and the women
can never have enough of feeling and
fondling your socks, which are more
evenly and closely knit than their
backwoods homemade article. *
One must submit to an examination
of this kind wherever one stops, often
several times a day. Finally It palls
on the traveler unless he is gifted with
the patience of Job, and from that mo-
ment he tries to avoid village hospital-
ity. A further reason for such avoid-
ance is the fact that the acceptance of
the hospitality of villagers makes It
Impossible for the traveler to put Into
durable form hla road notes of the day
while matters are still fresh In his
mind. For tbe scientific traveler or the
archaeologist this la of the utmost me*
meat. Now, among Turks writing in
the bouse of your entertainer would
simply be impolite and a boorish re-
turn for tbs hospitality, but Arabs re-
gard the man who writes or draws as
a spy, and will not permit it at all.—
