The Cost of h "Scurry" Train If You Ar ill a Hurry und Have I'lenty of Money —Some Ueoortl Trips of 11lls Character Mudo in lhe Old Land. From $250 to $750 and 30 minutes' notice at a big railway station --often less—will provide you with a train of four carriages all to yourself, it will whirl you to the other end of Britain—to whatever station you want to reach. If ever you are in such a hurry that money matters nothing—provided you have got it-r- you can count on getting an ordinary train at the price of from 20 to 40 ordinary fares to your destination. JJut if you want comfort and "style," an extra half hour's notice to the railway people will procure you a dining and sleeping car, with a cook, attendants, food and wines, from $100 to $150 extra. Then you can "burn the ground" over 300 miles by rail, only stopping to water the engine and laugh at all the time tables ever compiled. A great many wealthy people in a hurry havo done this. The Higgeat ••Scurry." One of the biggest "scurries" in special train records was a train scratched together for the King, when Prince of Wales, nn a very im- pottant occasion. He, of course, neatly always has his own trains, but "extras" are as much a part of the railway system as the mails. There is nothing exciting about them. But while on a visit to a country- house just outside J_ei.eB-.er, the King received a message that had been delayed. The Crown Prince of Greece had arrived in England and his formal reception by the Queen at Buckingham Falace was put forward by a cuty. The news, owing to a breakdown, did not reach the Prince till 15 hours alter it ought to have reached him, and he barely had two and a half hours before the ceremony began, 'these affairs between royalties are extremely punctilious and there are no excuses. It would have been almost an international slight if the Prince had not appeared, but there was no train. A messenger rode posthaste to Leicester, the Prince followed in a fast carriage and when he arrived a "special" of four "odd-und-end" carriages, had been slung to a fast engine—less than four are not safe—in less thun 15 minutes. He jumped in, the line was cleared and off the train went. He waa without lunch and the carriage was an ordinary first-class, but the Prince's valet bustled some sandwiches in at the last moment, and the train, with a clear line, whisked its royal freight to London in an hour and 40 minutes. He was just in time for the-reception. The "Marriage Special." Probably the most romantic, as well as one of the smartest of special train hurries was one that raced from London to Dover a few yeais ago, on the occasion of a runaway match, and which still lives in railway annals as the "marriage special." Tho engager of the train, a Mr. Vickery, had big difficulties to overcome, for his fiancee wus a ward in chancery, that is, she and her estate were under the guardianship of the law, and the penalty for marrying a ward without the consent of the court is imprisonment.

James M. Ur.n, Dated at Lillooet, ~.C. July Sth, 1003. INVASION OF CANADA. An Intei-eatinj. i'up.r Iteuri Hrfora th. Colonial Institute. In his paper, "Th© Canadian West and Northwest,," which was read le- contly at the meeting of the lloyal Colonial iisUtute, London, Mr. W. Albeit Hickman said he did not relieve thot the American invasion involved the slightest danger to British interests, lie had tlie pleas re of going north in the Saskatchewan country with a special train containing 166 American cai i.a!i..ts to buy Canadian land. The train was placarded "Special Train of the Sos- kat he.van Valley Land Company." which company bought no le. s titan one million acres of land. lie had studied the invading army carefully and it impressed l.itn that the majority of them appreciated British institutions, and became good Canadian citi.ens with great rapidity. He looked upon this investment of many millions of American money in Canadian lands as but t'ie forging o< one moie chain in the alieady existing informal alliance—the Anlo- American confederation. Figures led him to the inference that in 15 years the United States would not be exporting one bushel of win at. All would be required for home consumption, and her wheat lands woi I 1 all be under cultivation. The United Kingdom might then look to getting her wheat supply from t'ie Canadian pi ins—and much of h;r supply of meat and dairy prodtce als >. Some of them who were in that room would eat bread made from Hour of wheat grown in the valley of the Pea'e Kiver as st re as day was day. Last year the Hudson Bay Com; any sent a $10,000 roller flour mill i to Fort Vermillion on the Peace Kher, and for all he knew some of thein might have eaten bread from theie already.

The latest way of selling stock is hy measuring with dollar bills. Tho other day a cow was sold in this manner and the price determined by measuring around the animal's body by $1 bills. It only required 11 bills to encircle the cow, and now there is one man in East Flnmboro who will never sell that way again. Another game is to offer to buy a horse lor the amount of money required to measure it from the tip of the nose to the end of thc tail, bul instead of measuring tip over the head and along the back, the horses tail is drawn forward between his hind legs and his head backward between his forelegs, and it is found that the distance between the nose nnd the tail can sometimes be covered by one bill.

The ancient Jgoltl workings are the basis cf mod- ;n workings. For every ten square L'tiilcs of Rhodesia there was one an- J'cient mine, that is, (hero cr~ 75,000 Iold holes, which means that a stu- Ipendour* wealth was dug out of tho I earth before the dajs of Cecil ■Rhodes. Much of this wealth mest (havo gone to the north and east: it I, was probably wrought into the i crown of the Queen of Shcba and fill-* i ed the coffers of Solomon. A dent m.ll-ii-N. The ancient smelting furnaces are still easy to recognize. They are sunk '.into the floor. The furnace blowpipes (are made of the finest granite-powder cement, and the noz^lts of the blow- l|pipes are covered with s. l~shes of ,gold. Tli3 linings of the holes are 'covered with s;ecl-s of gold. When | the first lining became wora by the 'heat, a f. esh lining of cement, of an excellent quality, which has outlasted time, was smeared around on top of the old lining. One can take an (, old lining, split off the layers with a knife and find gold splashes in abundance. flow Ancient* Wanted Gold. ' Apparently the ancients wasted gold lavishly Gold has been found in large quantities in the form of pellets as large as buckshot in the vicinity of the furnaces, and nl o thrown away on the debris heaps outside of the old ~»Jildings. The tools of the antiont workers whith have so far been discovered Include a small soapstone hamircr and burnishing stones of water-worn rock, to which gold still adheres. There are evidences that the ancients carried on un extensive industry in the manufacture of gold ornaments and utsnsi.S. Thirty-five tliDUSand dollnis' worth of geld ornaments have been taken in the Uut five years from the ruins of Matabeleland alone. A Wonderful Athlete. Some time ago we expressed aston ishment nt the performance of Prebendary Webb-Peploe, who in this month's Quiver, is said to have jumped from a .si~k-bed, won his e\ctrt in the university sports, nnd then returned to bed, and '-remained on I is back for the next twelve months," A letter fiom Mr. Webb- Peploe assures us that this is in the main accurate, but nn under-stat- ment. He did it twice, nntl won the high jump and diving and swimming in the intervals of a three years'reclining—not exactly in bed, hut on a sofa. "Where I went the spinal couch went," writes Mr. Wobb-Pcploe. And to the spinal couch came even the Cambridge examiners to pass him through his examinations to his degree. It was a notable triumph of mind over matte, and we are glad to get confirmation of these extraordinary exploits from their doer.— London Chronicle.

Tlie Old Math Hotel. For nearly 150 years the old Bath Hotel has been looked upon by generations of Londoners as one of the mysteries which only the aristocratic might penetrate. There is something forbidding in the words, pointed on the Piccadilly side of the house. 'Bath Hotel—for Families and Gent-> lcn.cn," and mi lions of people must have looked upon the plain, dowdy old corner building, with its coat of dirty pci.it, and have fancied the interior to be, by contrast, a marvel of comfort. Hut now, being doomed to destruction, the old place has been subjected daily to inspection by brokers, and tho auctioneer has sold its contents. And the famous Bath Hotel stands revealed as a wrctcbed jumble of passages and rooms, devoid of attraction, and fit only for the housebreaker. Its floors have reached the "switchback" stage. There are unsuspected little steps, some up and some down, into many of the rooms. The old portable baths—in a Piccadilly Hotel!—emphasize the change which has taken place between tho era of the Bath and the era of Clar- IdgO's and the Carlton. All over the West-end the "hotel dc luxe" is springing up. In Sloane Street, the Cadogan, close by thc Hans Crescent, in Mount Street, tho Cobourg. in Kensington Gore, the Be Vere and Royal Palace Hotels, all tell tho snme tale. And the middle-aged hotels in Alhermarle Street and thereabout are hlo.soming into a new and more luxuriant existence. —London Mail. Kipling '« Fond of Pie. Rudyard Kipling, it appears, is fond of apple pie baked on the American system. To gratify his taste a glass lolling pin speially used in the manufacture of these pics has just been forwa'dod to the novelist from Wanamakcr's. The glass rolling pin has among o her advantages the me it of always being sweet and clean, and of being hollow so that it can be filled with ice to tool the pie trust. When Mrs. Kipling, who is an American, was in that country last summer; she greatly admired this contrivance, end knowing that her husband nnd children were fond of American pies, a_- (i'led to got them the next best thing by having hor pies made with an American rolling pin. Crown a London Landlord. Among the great ground landlords fn London the Crown is one of tho g. potest, owning propel ties in various paits of the capital yielding in ground rents £460,000 per annum. .Fifteen years ago the estates produced *C250,000 only, but many leases have fallen in within that time, and the increased rents have been exacted for renewal fines or for new leases. The Carlton Hotel is a striking instance of the increased value of ground in London. Formerly the site on whi'.h the hotel stands was held for the Crown for a ground rent of £76.'? por nnnuni; now £4,200 yearly has to be paid. Hritl-li Wine Drinking. The consumption of claret in Great Britain, which grew pretty steadily after the French commercial treaty negotiated by Mr. Oobden in 1861, would seem to have received a check. The importation of still wines from France has fallen off by 807„000 gallons. The sales of Burgundy, Sad- tcrne and ChabllS have not materially varied, and the deficit is entirely attributable to the comparative neglect of claret. In spite of war in the first five months of 1902 and high taxation, there was an increase in the consumption of champagne of nearly 20,000 gallons. The declino of claret has naturally been followed by nn increase in the drinking of port. The importation of this wine has increased by ill),000 gallons, and if Dr. .Johnson's dictum be true that claret is the drink for boys and port wino for men, we ought, I suj)- pose, says a London correspondent, to rejoice nt. the change.
