Fut Railroad Time. It Is expected that the World's Fair "will Attract such vast crowds of visitors that the passenger traffic from the Atlantic seaboard to Chicago will be unprecedented. The railroad companies are already preparing to meet the emergency by repairing their roadbeds and increasing their rolling stock- Efforts will be made to makn faster tim* for long distances than has yet boon accomplished. It is ailegod tbnt some of the roads expect to run through trains at the rato of a mile ? The Now J***1" ''y^r^m^4jrA B? lately tn ;ffu **'" 'trip from Now York to liutTiilo for tiio purpose of seeing wlint could be accomplished in this respect. The entire run of 440 miles was made in 133 minutes. This exoeriinent shows that, oveu iu the ores utit condition of the roadbeds um! with euch locomotives as aro now in use, a n lonrj distance can easily he covered at u mile a minute, barring accidents. Wlieii the roadbeds shall he; mado perfect and more powerful locomotives ho brought into requisition, it is believed that the entire distance from Now York to Chicago can be run within .seventeen hours. Such phenomenal spjed would have n strong uttraclion for thA "rent majority of Americans, and bo mi additional inducement foi llicin to visit tiio World's Fair. ? The Lnhjtr. Tiio Kansas State Hoard ot Agriculture reported a total winter crop of that Statu of fill, 170, II t bushels, and of spring wheat bushels, making a total air:; rebate for the Slate, winter and fcprim.', of r?s,550,hudiels.

I A CHINAMAN AT DINNEtt ' THE FOOD HE BATS AND HOW HJF . TAKES IT. > * ? Dinner Itcginw With To?-K?Torilt I. Vlaijrls?\ Great Variety ot Vege tables?Unplrawio' ,?i?lntl?i. A Chinese dinner begins, an we would 1 tliink, nt the wrong end first. As the first course wo were served with tea in dainty little China cups. The second course c agisted of small dishes of water r melon seeds. These arc a favorite deli"* cacy among the Chinese. Next came d sliced oranges, served iu individual dishes. The oranges were tmall and very sweet and juicy. The fourth course 8 was the dinner proper and contained th< " substantial*. ltice was the principal r viand and was served in a large center t dish, each person being given a bowl. 0 There were several smaller dishes of <lif, fercnt kinds of meats and vegetables to 1 eat with the rice, such as duck meat, pork, mutton and curry, beau curd, t' stringed cocoanut, etc. This course completed our dinner, since we did not u paitakeof the rice wine with which the Chiuese frequently end tlieir meals. \s ltice is the Chinaman's statf of life and it forms the principal article of ilict t throughout the country. It is cooked steaming in a batket or sieve suspended over a shallow iron kettle partly filled with water. The other article? of food arc cooked in the same way and at the t same tieic, as many as four or live r steamers being litted nicely over each s other and covered to keep in the steam, e which the water ba'ow supplies to all at once. Baked bread is not used; neither 4 is milk, butter nor cheese. At first it seemed straugo to mo to sit down to a y meal at which these familiar dishes were . lacking. [ Perhaps thu greatest variety in the Chinese bill of faro is found in tho vegetables, and certainly much of their agriculture cousisfs in raising them. , Beau curd or bean j.un, such as we had ;. at the hotel dinner, is made by j. boiling and grinding black beans and mixing tho Hour with water, u gvpsum Hud turmeric. There are twenty or more kinds of bourns uu I peas ? raised in China and they are prepared a for food in many diifcrcut ways. Cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, cross, , eoiewort, lettuce, sow thistle, uptuuch, celery, dandelion, succoiy, sweet basil, ginger, mustard, radishes, nrtomisiu, c auiaranthus, tacca, pig weed, bursluue, e shepherds' purse, clover, garlics, leeks, n onions, scallions, uiluntus and chives are lc seine of the principal greens, many of them decidedly odoriferous during cookI ing and after eating. Carrots, gourds, squashes, cucumbers, watermelons, to. uiotocs, turnips, radishes, hriujals, . pumpkins ana ok era may be named a|( most cominou among the score or more l>?trui"ii vi-rn.nn. on uuu ("Jiinwus ;u<. very plentiful.

The keeper may be seen squat ting on the stone pavement on a lo t stool, lie has a little earthen furnace or "fungolow," on which he cook 3 various kinds of food.
