animals, the haughty Blenheim span

Charles absolutely ignoring the breezy
looking little English bulldogs and
Boston terriers.

Purser Travels Far.
New York, Aug. 12. A new record
j for ocean travel,' or for that matter, for
travel of any kind, so far as human
being are concerned, has Just been
J made here by the purser of one of the
transatlantic liners plying regularly
between this port " and Europe, who
has just cpmpleted his thousandth trip
across the AtlanUc. These thousand
trips represent about 3,500,000 miles
of travel, far surpassing any other
achievement of the sort of which any
record can be found.r The thousand
trips are equal to 140 trips around
the earth and about 15 trips to the
moon; Of course, not all these trips
were made on the same' vessel, !npr
was their accomplishment a quick one
since the purser in question has been
traveling the Atlantic . since 1864, or
for nearly half a century. His first
trip was of a nature to discourage any
but the most enthusiastic lover of the
sea, since it was made on -a steamship
which took Are on it way to this
country and was onlv saved after all j carp weight up to 30 pounds have been
