Not Kvcn the Commonest Civility.
Women who think it so strange that
New York men occupy seats in crowded
cars, elevated and otherwise, while femi
nine passengers clutch for straps, should
draw the moral from au incident that
happened in a Fifth avenue stage a few
days ago. One of those clumsy vehicle
was lumbering np the avenue with two
passengers, one a middle aged man sit
ting by the door. At Nineteenth street
the stage stopped, and an old lady, aftet
bidding an affectionate farewell to a
friend at the step, climbed in and sat
down opposite the middle aged passen
ger. Tbe latter was gazing idly into
the street, when he felt a touch, and
suddenly found himself in possession of
a nickel. Evidently it came from the
newly entered passenger, though she
favored him with neither word nor
glance. It was equally plain that it
was her fare, and that she expected the
middle aged man to deposit it in the
box.
After a moment's hesitation he arose,
groped his way to the forward end of
the stage, dropped the nickle into its
proper resting place, and returned,
glancing involuntarily at the old lady
for some word or look of thanks. None
came. She adjusted her far wrap and
seemed oblivious of his presence. The
"bos rumbled on np Fifth avenue for
some minutes without incident, when
the old lady suddenly leaned over and
said, "Stop the stage at Thirty-fourth
street" The middle aged man flushed
slightly with evident annoyance, and
said decisively: "Madam, you compelled
me to deposit yonr fare a few moments
ago, and omitted the commonest civili
ties in doing so. 1 am neither the driver
nor conductor of this stage, and though
I should instantly respond to a courteous
request, you may stop this stage wher
ever you please for yourself I" and she
did. New York Tribune. I
An Ineffable Cruelty to Children.
Mrs. Fen wick Mnller, a London
writer of note, comes out strongly on
the subject of Lady Montague's methods
of discipline, and incidentally has some
plain words to say about punishments
for children in general, and specially
is she moved by that ineffable brutal
ity, the shutting up of young children
in the dark. "Darkness is fall of ter
rors to a child. Out of the gloom
come all sorts of horrible imaginings,
and many a child has been half ruined
for life by the terror of darkness, will
fully inflicted by some woman either
too brutal to care or too ignorant to un
derstand tbe infernal cruelty of leaving
children, whese imaginations are often
far more vivid than those of adults, in
all the horror of blackness, out of which
they, in their combined fancy and ig
norance, ring forth all kinds of terrible
and threatening things. No young chil
dren should ever be left withont a glim
mer of light in a bedroom all night
long, as a touch of indigestion, a trou
blesome dream, a sudden awakening,
afraid and into darkness, may work
nerve mischief that may last a lifetime.
"There is no crime that a child can
commit that would entitle us to expose
him or ber to the mental agonies of soli
tude in darkness, many peopled as it is
with phantoms and terrors. We know
that even in our prisons this terrible
punishment is only resorted to to subdue
the most violent and refractory prison
ers, and that even then it is hedged
round with many restrictions, and only
permitted to be used for a limited space
of time. If there is a woman living
whose heart does not respond to these
strong words there is something very
radically wrong with her."
Egyptian Architecture.
Egyptian architecture, the oldest of
known styles, placed the weight firmly
on the ground. ' In the first stages of
building the strength of materials and
the art of construction were but imper
fectly understood, and to obtain security
masses of material were placed on a
broad base, narrowing upward in the
form of a pyramid. It suggested secu
rity and permanence. The earliest extant
monument of the work of man th
pyramids by the Nile still rest on the
sand of the desert in their majestic
massiveness. The Egyptian buildings
were constructed on the model of the
pyramid. Truncated at various heights,
details and ornamentation, however
varied, left the same impression of se
curity and permanence.
The shelving base, from which springs
the propylon or porch, the multiplica
tion of short, stunted shafts, the shallow
reliefs, are all subservient to the one
idea. The building rests on the ground,
and you know it. The slender obeliek
placed in front as a foil brought into
prominence the massive solidity of the
building. The accessory sphinx, with
its front paws placed nut on the pedes
tal, the body firmly recumbent and the
head solidly- draped was a type of im
mobility and rest. London Tablet.
Learning to Top.
It is queer how small an occurrence
serves to attract a crowd. The other
evening a popcorn kiosk at the corner of
D street and the avenue was surrounded
by a gaping crowd, ranging in character
from gamins to gentlemen, all breath
lessly watching the proprietor as be
shook a popper over the gas flamer. A
conple of young ladiea happened to be
passing, and one of them inquired:
"What are those men staring at?"
"They are learning how to pop," re
plied her companion.
"Oh," sighed the speaker, "how 1
wish Charlie would take a few lessons 1"

PERPETUAL MOTION BICYCLE.
The CurkHie One Wheeled Machlue ' In.
vented bjr a St. Louis Geiilul.
Joseph Drietemmoser, a St. Louis me
chanic, claims to have invented a bicycle
which possesses in one respect the valu
able quality known as perpetual motion.
His model is a very curious looking af
fair. It consists of one gigantic wheel,
eight feet in height, uindo of steel and
copper wire and a small cast iron wheel,
which, instead of being in front or be
hind, as all small wheels of bicycles are,
la on the ritlit hal sido. T he ridur. in
stead of being perrned on the top of the
machine, sits in a small recess about
three feet in diameter upon a sliding
eat running upon eight sliding grooved
wheels in the center of the large wheel
His feet are iu a Btradillo position; that
is, one on each side, and rest upon two
foot rests, which are fastened to the seat
by means of steel roils.
To set the curious machine in motion
the rider leans forward, thus changing
the center of gravity and causing the
wheel to revolve. The next move is to
re-establish the center of gravity, but
according to the inventor the center can
not . tie found and the wheel continues
revolving, gaining speed at each turn.
There is no limit to the speed obtainable.
The edges of both wheels are grooved
and can be used on a railroad track as
well as on the ground. By meaus of a
peculiar arrangement of canvas, which
covers the steel spokes near the center
and forms an air tight space which ex
tends around the wheel, the Inventor
says the structure can travel in water as
well as on laud. The canvas, when the
machine is used on land, serves as an
umbrella to shield the rider from the
sun and niin.
Tbe machine can be made to complete
a circle by simply throwing the weight
on the opposite side from which the
rider desires to go. A passenger can be
carried by simply extending the seat to
the small Wheel. The seat does not
move when the machine is in operation;
In fact, it acts as the axle, allowing the
wheel to slide around it. Mr. Brietem
tuoser claims that the heavier the load
carried the quicker the machine can
travel
The model is as yet a very crude look
ing affair. 'The canvas which serves as
an umbrella and float is ornamented
with the inscription, "Perpetual Motion,
Joseph tfrieteuimoser, 1888." The in
ventor has already secured ten patents
for various devices invented by him. He
is also at present employed iu building a
very peculiar looking mill, which, when
completed, will be capable of turning
out six to ten different grades of flour at
the same time. The grinding stono is
made of cast iron, and is kept in a sharp
condition by means of an emory wheel
which revolves with it. Globe-Demo

Schwatka'a Cliff Dwellers.
Lieut. Schwatka, of polar fume, sur

circle, he took himself to the equator.
In returning he has now reached El Paso,
Texas, accompanied by Mr. K Howard
O'Neill, in charge of eleven cliff dwellers

cliff dwellers are members of the Taliuar-
mari tribe, and speak a language of theii

from Chihuahua, and traveled the whole
distance on foot, beating thuir master,
who rode. One of these men is known to
have traveled 100 miles in twelve hours

The Formation of Coal. '
. It takes a prodigious amount of vege
table matter to form a layer of coal, it
being estimated that the present growth
of the world would make a layer less
than one-eighth of an inch in thickness
and that it would take a million years of
vegetable growth to form a coal bed ten
feet in thickness. The United States has
an area of more than 440,000 square miles
of coal fields, and more than 110,000 tons
of coal Were mined in this country last
year, enough to run a ring around the
earth at the center five and one-half feet
wide and five and one-half feet thick.
Competent scientists say that there is
enougn coal in the United States to sup
ply the world for the next 2,000 years.

Dolnea of Clldod Tnntli In 9t. Petersburg!
Kallroari Deiulheail.
Ilerr von Thislvowetst, an Austrian no
bleman and traveler, has just published a
bookful of stories concerning tho bad
side of Russian life as he saw it In a two
years' trip through the country. The
most striking peculiarity of Russian rail
way travel, he thinks, is tho largo num
ber of deadheads in the high priced com
purtments of tho coupes. Botween Mos
cow and St. Petersburg ho shared a first
class compartment with a dragoon offi
cer. Tho guard took Ilerr von l'rosko
wota'a ticket, but said nothing to tho offi
cer. For some time after they were
left alone together the military man eyed
tho Austrian nobleman curiously, and
finally asked;
"Did you really buy a first class tloketr
Von Proskowou confessed that lie did.
"And your good money is squandered
beyond recall. You ought to have dona
as I did. I gave the guard a rouble and
a cigar. lid' is a good f ello w and doesu't
bother about tickets."
Proskowetg suggested that a dragoon
officer might do things that a foreigner
tutghtn t.
"Yes, that may lie so," answered his
companion, "but just think of the fun
you might have had with the fifteen
roubles you squandered on a ticket."
Ilerr von Proakoweta gathered some
interesting statistics and made notes on
some queer tilings while in Russia,
Since 1838 the population of St. Pe
tersburg lias fallen from 801,000 to 843,-
000. This falling off has taken place
among the working people, and may be
ascrUHKl to the wretchedness of the quar
ters in which the workingmen at the cap
ital are obliged to live. One-tenth of the
workiugmen's lodgings are in cellars.
When higher up, however, the accom
modations are littlo better. A working
man's sleeping room has usually only
one window, and is occupied at night by
between ten and fifty other laborers.
Ilerr von ProskoweU's opinion of Rus
sian society is pretty poor. The yoiinfc
men in Moscow's 400, ho thinks, are
about tho most reckless and extravagant
in tho world, and are always full of a de
Biro to smash things. A man, therefore,
win gives a stag dinner at a Moscow res
taj mt or hotel Invariably contracts to
pay for tho meal "inclusive of crockery."
As soon as the last dish has been Berveil
his guests begin to slam things about the
room, and before the last bottle of wine
has been served tho door is carpeted with
small bits of tho service, the mirrors ami
the pictures from the wall. Iu the Win
ter garden the young bloods drive their
sticks through the fish globes and hew
down all the flowers and shrubs they
can get at. They are not altogether bad
however, for they pay the proprietor
lavismy tor everything they destroy.
Another fi-eak of tho lively young men
in Moscow is to hire an elephant for an
evening and got it drunk on champagne.
About six months ago a young blood
beat the record for originality by giving
ins friends a dinner, at which the only
meat was the pork from a trained pig.
bought of its trainer by tho host for 14,
000 roubles. At least that was the story
the host told in good faith to his friends
at tho beginning of the feast. He learned
the next day that the owner of the pig,
Clown Tanto, had swindled him by sub
stituting a common pig for the educated
animal. A lawsuit followed, but before
it eould be decided Tanto and his pig
and the 14,000 roubles in question got
out of the country.
The Moscow dudes and officers have
also an overweening passion for tbe stars
of the cafe chantauts and for gypsy
street singers, whom they marry with
astonishing frequency. Ilerr von Pros-
kowetz tells all these stories of the czar's
400 with perfect seriousness, and pre
sents abundant proof of their truth, His
opinion is that tho half baa not been told

The Tea Trade.
An English paper says: If the trade in
India and Ceylon tea goes on increasing,
as it has done of late, the tea trade of
China will soon be defunct. As it is, the
importing of China tea is regarded as
profitless by firms who once bad good
reason to think otherwise, but who now
find the game not worth the candle. Ac
cording to the board of trade returns for
December, 1880, just issued, the ship
ments of tea from India are now far in
excess of those from China, having
amounted for the year to 127,160,000
pounds, against 113,005,000 pounds; while
those from China were only 88,849,000
pounds, against 105,424,000 pounds in
1888. As the shipments from Ceylon arc
now very large the customs' commission
ers have issued a general order, dated
Dec. SO, 1880, directing that for the fut
ure the imports thence are to be shown
separately, and that the same distinction
shall be observed with regard to tea
taken out of bond for consumption. The
distinctions will therefore be "British
East India," "Ceylon,". "China" (includ
ing Hong Kong and Jfacoa) and "other
countries," and the statements of the ex
ports of tea will also be based on the
same plan as regards the country of pro
duction or origin. Montreal Star.

The Moll Important Ruldectof thtlie
cut day battled beyond Uuettloa.
Tho cable dispntcheg which recently
appearodin the daily papers .indicating
the great Interest felt throughout Europe
upon a subject of International Interest
have naturally awakened great attention,
not to f ay excitement, in this city and
throughout the liuul. It is a well-known
fact that the demands of modem life have
caused a strain which seems to shorten life
and undermine health universally, The
efforts made abroad to Investigate it
rause are most commendable, ana we art)
I dense.! to say have been supplemented
y similar efforts iu Ainorioa. Careful
inquiry has been made among prominent
physicians, and it la surprising what
uniformity of opinion is expressed by
thorn all. That, opinion seems to be
that the great modern disease is kidney
tumble, and that the kidneys are the
first organs of the body to bo attacked
by over-exertion or over-indulgence, and
tho first to become weakened by the
?rip. That this Is a most lamentable
act there can be no doubt, but that
these troubles can bo prevented and
cured tho investigations made abroad
clearly show. In the interest of human
ity we iitivo made similur iuvestigntiona,
and tho result is given herewith.
Dr. N. S. Davis said: "People do not
know what 11 right's disease is. The
term is applied popularly toevery trouble
that even remotely affects the Kidneys.
There are two forms of the trouble one
an enlargement and the other a shrink
ing of the kidneys."
Dr. Frank T. Andrews saysi "The
term Brighl'edisease covers a great many
complaints. In fact, any case of album
inuria is called Bright a disease. The
majority of these cases are curable. The
reason a man dies of kidney trouble is
the inability of the organ to perform its
functions."
Dr. 8. Clarke declares : "There was a
time when any man or woman suffering
from any form of kidney trouble had
cause for despair. That time has passed,
for the past eight years I have treated
every variety of kidney trouble In both
men and women, and I do not believe
there is a case so severe, no matter of
how long standing, that it cannot be re
lieved or cured by the careful and con
scientious use of Warner's Safe Cure."'
Dr. Charles W. Purely Bays! "There
are many diseases grouped under the
head of Wright's disease of the kidneys.
One of the most serious forms is almost
always accompanied by heart trouble,
which, frequently causes the death of the
patient. The acute form will kill the
patient within a tew years ur less he re
ceives proper treatment."
Dr. It, A. Gunn, Dean of the United
States Medical College, declares: "i'or
years the treatment of Bright's disease
has been largely experimental. I ait.
independent enough and frank enough
to commend most heartily that great
remedy Warner's Safo Cure."
Dr. A. B. Ilosmer affirms: "Acute
Bright's disease in children is curable.
The kidneys, you see, are waste gates,
and when they are partially closed
trouble must result."
Dr. Tyre York, of Washington, I), 0.,
asserts: "I think Warner's (Safe Cure a
great blessing to mankind, and if taken
regularly will cure almost any disease of
the kidneys. I prescribe it in my prac
tice." Dr. C. Washington Eurle, of Chicago,
says: "Diseases of the kidneys may be
slight or aggravated. The object to be
attained is to limit the over-worked and
worn-out organs to as little exercise as
possible."
Dr. John W. Mapes, of Paris, III.,
says: "I am a living example of the
rirtnes of Warner's Safe Cure, without
which I should long since have been
dead."
Throughout tho land wherever Inves
tigation has been made, the sentiment
seems to be the same.
The above unquestioned and unques
tionable testimony proves beyond a
doubt what Mr, II. II. Warner, of Roch
ester, N. Y., boldly declared more than
ten years ago, namely, that Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys can be cured. Mr.
Warner knew whereof he affirmed, for
he himself hod been cured of Bright's
disease in its worst form. If any reader
has peculiar pains, strange sensations,
or unaccountable feelings, which fa too
often announce the coming on of kidney
trouble, there is no need to despond;
there is every reason for hope, k cure
has been found and proven beyond
question or the possibility of doubt.
The Fearl Hunters' Superatitloa.

miles up country before she could be in

An Awful Thing to Remember.
When a bachelor getting out of bed

and then thoughtlessly hurries away to
breakfast, where people smile slyly and
significantly, it does not add to his joy
to remember that he did not make the
change in the apparel he contemplated.
