No Trains Beat  Ours.
No train in the world averages a mile a minute, including stops. There are many that average much higlier than a mile a minute, between stations, over long dis¬ tances.   There is no  train that can  be called  the fastest in   tlie world, because some trains develop  their   remarkable speed over short courses, while other ex¬ presses, traveling hundreds of miles, show even greater speed at points, but do not present as high an average over the entire distance.   The fastest short-distance ex¬ press In the world is what is known as the   forty-five   minute  train,   between Baltimore  and   Washington,   over   the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,   It goes over from Baltimore to Washington in the middle of the morning and returns in the middle of the afternoon.  It is a veritable thunderbolt and usually consists of engine, two flrst-class passenger coaches and a parlor car.   The 45-minute train covers the 40 miles of its journey, from station platform to station platform at an aver¬ age speed of 53.33 miles per hour.   The real speed average in the clear country between the two cities is about 70 miles per hour.   The regular   Baltimore  and Ohio expresses through Washington and oyer the Metropolitan Branch  Road to Chicago and St. Louis average 40 miles an hour the whole  way.   To   Wfishiugton they average 48 miles an hour.
One of the fastest middle-distance trains in the world is the Congressional limited express on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Between Wilmington, Dela¬ ware, and Biiltimore, seventy miles, it makes by far the greatest speed ever shown on a regular schedule, the outside average being nearly 56 miles an hour— exactly oo.SO miles per hour. From .Jersey City to Trenton it averages 49 miles per hour. Its outside average of speed, from.Iersey City to Washington, 229 miles, is 45.35 miles an hour, and the inside average oyer 60 miles an hour.
The Chicago limited express on the New York Central and Hudson River R lil- road is ono of the fastest long-distance trains in the world. It averages 41 miles an hour over a thousand mil^ of country, j It travels slowest between Utica and Syracuse, and fastest oo the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern division,between Buffalo and Erie. The New York and Chicago limited on the Pennsylvania Kailroad averages 40 miles an hour from .lerspy City to Chicago, It does not cover aa great a distance as the New Y'^ork Central limited, but it overcomes greater natural obstacles to speed, in the shape of mountains.
A particularly fast express, considering its usual length, the load of mail and passengers it bears, and the heterogeneous | collection of big and little, short aud long, light and heavy cars it carries is what is kuown as the New York and Washington fast express, leaving Jersey City about 8 o'clock in the morning. From Jersey City (0 Philadelphia it averages nearly 47 miles an hour. Between Baltimore and Washington it averages 46.95 miles per hour, and between Philadelphia and Baltimore 44.33 miles an hour. Its out¬ side average of speed from Jersey City to
est express on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The much talked about lightning train patronized by American travellers, be¬ tween Liverpool and London, by way of Crewe and Warrington, which is often said to average over 70 miles per Jiour, actually averages a trifle less than 50 miles an bour. The fastest parlor-car express between London and Birming¬ ham averages less than 42 miles an hour. The shortest railway distance from Lon¬ don to Liverpool is 212 miles, and the fastest express in the service of any of the English railways goes the journey in four and one-half hours, at an average of 47 10 miles per hour.
There is ouly one train in Europe that averages over 50 miles an hour over any very considerable distance, and that is the Oriental express from London to Constantinople through Paris. It leaves London twice a week aud thp Turkish capital is reached in three days and twenty-two hours.. The distances from Paris to Constantinople is 1,800 miles, and the entire distance from London to Constantinople is over 2,000 miles. The route is through Vienna and Pesth. There are but seven regular express ser¬ vices on the entire Continent that aver¬ age a speed of 30 miles an hour or over, and there is only one train between Rot¬ terdam and Amsterdam that averages as high as 32 miles, and that is over a dis¬ tance of only 44 miles. The Russian ex¬ press between Paris and St. Petersburg travels the distance of 1,000 miles from the French capital to Eydthuhnen ou the Russian frontier at a rate of less than 30 miles an hour. The fastest train from Paris to Berlin, the North German limit¬ ed express, averages onl> 28.50 miles per hour. But it is worse, when the traveller sets his face toward Spain, The "limit¬ ed" express to Aladrid, 850 miles from Paris, averages 24 miles an hour. Amer ican freight trains can beat that! It is not much better when one wants to reach Rome. The luxurious parlor car train from Paris, over Che Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean railway, averages but 24 miles an hour, and Mr. Blaine going from j Florence to Paris, did not beat that record. I American suburban trains appear to be equally superior to Continental suburban trains. The fastest train out of Paris to Versailles, 14i miles, averages only 17 miles an hour.
The fastest train services in the world are in   tlie  United  States.    Next  comes' England, next France, next Germany. After  that  it  is a  scramble, with  no choice.   Some of the Dnch expresses are I lively, as for instance the "thunderbolt" ¦ express from  Pfalzburg to  Lutzelburg, j wliich hurls its passengers toward their! destination at the stupendous speed of seven miles an hour 1   It ia pleasant to be   able    to   record  such  exhilarating evidences of railway progress!   But even the  French do not always  go  like the wind.   The boat express from Dieppe  to Paris does all that is expected of it if it makes 19 miles an hour.   The  Imgest railway journey in Europe is from Lisbon to St. Petersburg and iron snails drag the traveller slowly along that wide stretch of country.   In England the flrst-class accommodation passenger trains average
the first-class express averages 21.50 miles an hour. One can now journey 358 miles in Egypt, straight away, on one road, at a speed of 18.50 miles an hour. The ex¬ press from Algiers to Oran averages 20 miles an hour, and a queer looking train it is!
A word in conclusion as to speed aver¬ ages. The speed average of a train is de¬ veloped under many disadvantages. Hills, grades, bridges, curves, water, trough, crossings, stations,signal towers- switches, wind and rain all exert a retard¬ ing influence. Express trains, nowadays, are so nearly scheduled to their limit of speed that it is generally a diflicult mat- ter to make up lost time. Cold weather and frosty rails hurt speed in winter. A heavy train seems to go faster than a light train. Speed at night is delusive. The best way to study speed is at the centre of a heavy car.
Washington is 42.71 miles per hour.   The ,
New York and Washington limited on ! 22 miles an hour, and the ordinary express
the Pennsylvania Railroad does not aver¬
age 40 miles an hour. Its highest speed is between Wilmington and Baltimore, 43 miles an hour. From Jersey City to Philadelphia it averages 42 miles per hour. The  fastest train in England Is the
Highland express over the Midland Rail¬ way, from   London   to Edinburgh, 409 miles.   It leaves Saint Pancras Station, London, in the morning and flies to Scot¬ land  at the rate of 43 miles an  hour. From London to Leicester, 90 miles, it averages 45 miles an hour.   Tbe High¬ land express carries parlor cars and makes few stops.    It   is   a   favorite train   for tourists.   The newspaper express on the Midland Railway, starting from London before sunrise, averages only  3S.33 miles per hour to its journey's end, at Glasgow, reaching  there  in  a little over eleven hours.   The north express on the Mid¬ land Railway, another of the very swift¬ est expresses in the Queen's dominions, leaving   London  two hours behind  the Highland express, averages 39.50 miles an hour to Glasgow, and develops  its high¬ est speed   from   London to   Leeds,  198 miles—44 miles an hour.   The fourth of the Midland "lightning" trains is called the  Scotch  express.    It   departs  from Saint Pancras station half an hour after the  north   express,   and   averages 39 20 miles to Edinburgh.   It goes from Lon¬ don to Leicester at the rate of 42.40 miles per hour, and from  London to Carlisle, 311 miles, at the rate of 41.50 miles per hour.   Between Carlisle   and  Edinboro the road is bad for speeed, and the same is true of the northern part of the London and Northwestern  Railway.   The early Scotch newspaper express on the London and Northwestern Railway averages 49 miles an hour.   Along one part of the journey, over  the  24.50   miles between Northampton and Rugby, it attains 54.60 miles   per  hour.    The   Iri.sh  mail  train from London  to Birkenhead over this line, averages only 37.74 miles per hour. The distance from London to Rugby over the London and Northwestern Rail¬ way is the same as from New York (Jer¬ sey City) to Philadelphia, and  therefore affords a tine opportunity for comparing the relative speed of American and Eng¬ lish expresses.   The fastest English ex¬ press makes the distance in almost exactly the same time as is consumed by the fast-
trains average 29 miles an hour. On the! Northeastern Railway the limited to Hull averages 40 miles an hour. The finest trains in France, so far as equipments are concerned, are those on the Paris, Lyoneand Mediterranean Railway, carry¬ ing tourists to Nice and to the southern watering places.
Turning again to this country, tbere are several very fast expresses on the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com pany's Bound Brook route from Phila¬ delphia to Communipaw. The two hour express over this road and the Pennsyl¬ vania average over 50 miles an hour. Ou the Bound Brook one of the fast trains averages 54 miles an hour between Tren¬ ton and Bound Brook. In the United States first-class night expresses carrying sleeping cars do not often average over 30 miles an hour, and even on .such roads as the Pennsylvania and New York Cen¬ tral some night expresses do not aver, age much over 20 miles an hour. The limited trains, as a rule, are more remark¬ able for the comfort they insure the traveller than for their speed. On every trunk line there are first-class express trains that go much faster than the limiteds. The limited trains, being made up of heavier cars, preserve a more uni¬ form rate of speed and are uot so much affected by curves and grades. There are less than two dozen limited train services in the whole country. The fastest ex press on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad averages 34 miles an hour.- The Erie limited averages 36.25 miles per hour. The fastest express on the Canadian Pacific averages 34.33 miles per hour.
The best regular connections between New York and San Francisco do not en¬ able t.he traveller to average over 25 miles per hour, and this, too, without any stop overs, except in depots.
Some of the trains in Asia and Africa are not to be sneezed at, taking every¬ thing into consideration. The "fast" mail and;expres3 in Asia Minor, between Smyrna and Seraikenay, averages 17.50 miles per hour. The distance is tiSi miles. The express between Alexandria and Cairo, in Egypt, 130 miles, averages 37 miles per hour, a rale of speed high enough to furnish a spectacle at which even the hoary old Sphinx must blink in astonishment.   Between Cairo and Suez
A Devil in Petticoats.
Mr. E. P. McFadden, one of Pittsburg's representatives among that people, says the Cincinnati Gazette, furnishes some queer specimens of the unwritten history of Indian outbreaks in the Northwest that is peculiarly interesting and authen¬ tic, coming as they do from participants in those horrible massacres.
On the Standing Rock  Agency, living next door to him, is Mrs. "Spotted-Horn Bull," the wife of a Dakota chieftain who bears that unique title.
Mr. McFadden has frequently convers¬ ed with Mrs. Spotted-Horn Bull about the Custer massacre. The copper- colored Amazon was a prominent actor on the field of blood. Her tribute to the merits of her better half is not at all flattering. She brands him as having been a most arrant coward. While the fight, which reflected great credit on General Custer's daring and bravery but little on his gen¬ eralship, was going on Spotted Horn Bull was in command of his tribe. He weak¬ ened before the bullets of the whites, and Mrs. Spotted-Horn rushed to the rescue. She incited the band by her speech and deeds to feats of Indian daring equaled by no other tribe in the fight. She was foremost in the combat, and with her own hands scalped and mutilated the bodies of dozens of United States soldiers.
She describes the conduct of Custer as being wonderfully brave, such as to com¬ mand the respect of the red men, and, strange to relate, while they practiced their horrible meihods of warfare on the soldiers, the bodies of the General aud his brother. Captain Tom Custer, were left untouched. Custer fought to the last, and is supposed to have beeu the lust man killed. The squaw tells of see¬ ing his body lying on top of a group of soldiers. It was the last to fall, and lay right across that of a "little chief," as a sergeant in the army is called.
Mrs. Spotted-IIorn-Bull is now a quiet, withered old squaw, whose reformation seems to have been accomplished. She stays close to the trading post at Stand¬ ing Rock and seldom speaks of bloodshed in which she was an actor, unless drawn out in confidence. She evidently knows who killed General Custer, but firmly re¬ fuses to give the assassin's name.
"It is asource of wonder to the whites," says Mr. McFadden, "that the bodies of General Custer and his brother Tom were not mutilated in the massacre. It was well known that the treacherous chief, Rain-in-the Face, had sworn that he would eat Tom Custer's heart. The way he eame to make that threat was this:
"Rain-in-the-Face had committed some depredation iu Nebraska for which he was wanted by the United States officers —horsestealing, I think it was. He took refuge at Standing Rock and General Custer sent a sergeant with a detail from Fort Lincoln to bring him in. The ser¬ geant was compelled to return without his prisoner. The general then said to his brother. 'Tom, go to Standing Rock and bring back Rain-in-the-Face or leaye your own body there.' The captain, who never refused to obey orders, started on his errand with a detail of cavalry.
"It so happened that the day he reach¬ ed Standing Rock was the day on which rations were issued at the agency. There were fully 5,000 Indians at the place. Captain Custer placed his detail so as to surround the trading post. He dismount¬ ed, and, with a revolver in one hand and a sword iu the other, entered the building. When he got inside he asked : 'Where is Rain-in the Face?' Silence fell on the room, which was crewded with friends of the chief. The captain then told the interpreter to point out 'llain-in tlie- Faye.' This was done, and stepping up to him the intrepid cavalry oflScer placed the mu?zle of hia revolver at the Indian's head and said :
" 'Rain-inthe-Face, I want you. If you make an attempt to escape I'll sllOOt you. If your friends interfere I will blow your brains out. I have but one life to lose and if they shoot me you will die also.'
"Rain-in-the Face said he would sub¬ mit, but on going out at the door he said: *It is your turn now, but some day I will eat your heart'"
"Why so deep in thought, old boy V You haven't winked an eyelid for the last ten minutes."
"I am holding private council over my annual poem. I call it an annual because I bring it out regularly every summer, and am now trying to remember what magazine remains to send it to.'^—Judge.
How   to   Prepare   Spiced   Canta¬ loupe.
Divide the cantaloupe (which should not be over ripe) into small strips; re¬ move the seeds and rind. Weigh these pieces and to each seven pounds allow four pounds of sugar,.one pint of vinegar, half ounce of ginger root, one teaspoonf ul of ground cloves, two tablcspoonsf uls of ground allspice, two teaspoonf uls of cin¬ namon and a half teaspoonful of ground mace. Put the vinegar and sugar on to to boil in a porcelain-lined kettle. Mix the spices and divide them into four equal parts. Put each part into a small square of muslin ; tie loosely and throw it into the sugar and vinegar. The spices must beput and tied in the muslin, so that there is not the slightest danger of their coming undone, but must have suf¬ ficient room to swell. When the vinegar and sugar is hot, add the cantaloupe; cover the kettle and bring the whole to a boiling point; take from the fire and turn carefully into a stone or earthern jar; cover and stand in a cool place over night. Next day draid all the liquor from the cantaloupe into a porcelain- lined kettle, stand it over a moderate fire, and when boiling hot, pour it back over the cantaloupe. Next day drain and heat again, as before, and do this alto¬ gether for nine consecutive days, the last time boiling the liquor down until there is just enough to cover the fruit; then add the fruit to it; make it scalding hot and put it into jars or tumblers for keep¬ ing. It is not necessary to hermitically seal spiced fruit. If it is properly pre¬ pared, it will keep for years in a stone jar with paper tied over the top. All fruits may be spicnd by the same recipe, and will be found delicious.
A Colonel by Birth.
"Bishop" (3berly, the "Oily Gammon" of the Civil Service Commission, has a theory of the way military titles are got by the southerners. .Some years ago, when Mr. Oberiy was a member of the Illinois Legislature, there was among his colleagues an Egyptian who was known as Colonel Ghilson. The military mem¬ ber Was every inch a soldier—in looks. He weighed three hundred pounds, and had more than the usual amount of the fat man's pomposity. One day Mr. Ober- ly casually introduced to Colonel Ghilson a person who was anxious to have his help ou some pending bill. The seeker after legislation was yery deferential, and at once began to pour on some of the oil of flattery. The talk ran something this wise:
"Colonel, did I understand Mr. Oberiy to say ? Tlu^n Isuppose, Colonel Ghilson, you probably commanded a x'egimeut iu the late war?"
"No, sir."
"Ah, I presume then it must have been in the Mexican war. You were pretiy young for so responsible a command, weren't you."
•D-
youn
g,   sir.    Never  been   in
Mexico in my life."
"Oh, I see now. Y''ou belong to the State militia. Fine body of men they are, too."
"No, sir; not at all, sir. I have noth- ing to do with the militia."
"Perhaps you are on the Governor's staff ?"
"No, sir."
"Then, Colonel, might I ask where you got your title ?"
"D it all, man, Twas born a colonel.
I'm from Kentucky."—j>r. Y. Tribuyie.

Jones—Satisfied revenge, my boy. I've got even at last with my worst enemy. I've made that fellow feel so sick that he is wishing now that he was dead.

"So Jones has gone wrong, too," said the assistant cashier to the treasurer, the morning after the cashier hid disappear¬ ed.
"Gone wrong!" replied the treasurer in dis„'ust. "I should say he had gone wrong. The idea of trying to go to Cali¬ fornia when Canada is only ten hours' ride away. Why, I could have told him beforehand   that    he'd   be   nabbed !"—

The recent investigation into the In¬ dian troubles on i he Skeena river, British Columbia, has brought to light » deeply- laid plot, by which at two secret meetings held at Kaiamax last winter, it was ar- ranged among the Indian tribes in tjiat section to massacre all the white settlers. The massacre was averted by one of the Indians, who, at the risk of his life, threatened to warn the government un¬ less the idea was abandoned.

With the September issue Book News (John Wanamaker, Philadelphia) enters OU its seventh year. Book News has long passed the experimental stage and now easily ranks as the foremost publication of its kind. The leading article is by Julian Hawthorne, who describes with his usual felicity the quality he calls "Atmosphere" in the literary art. The monthly chat "With the New Books" and the reviews are fully up to the stand¬ ard; the miscellany is varied and inter¬ esting, and accompanying the number is an excellent woodcut of the late E. P. Roe.
