How tha Trmm On Ar Operated. Brussels U a beautiful city and owe fit beauty in a large measure to the d sense and public spirit of its citi teus or a ruling king who rules iu the Interest of the people. Que good thing conies of a fortified city, or at least has come to Paris and Brussels, and that is when by expansion . ' It has become necessary to tear down llio fortification it has left the boule vard. Ilrussels is now abont throe times (s large as the original walled city, and this boulevard forms a broad street uronnd between the center and the out aide from 200 to 800 feet wide. It is more than a street or avenue; it Is a Street and a park. It goes by different Dames at different parts, and Boulevard Waterloo the widest is first a side walk, then a paved street perhaps 15 feet wide for business purposes, then f round with two rows of trees, 80 fiet Wide, fur horseback riding, then 40 feet qr so of asphalt or macadam for car riages, then bO feet (at a guess) with four rows of trees for pedestrians, with scats for resting ; then another paved street for business and street cars, and, lastly, the other sidewalk. At different places uie booths for selling papers, etc., waiting rooms for the street cur service and public conveniences. Through the towu there are two broad avenues and many outside, like the Avenue Louise, which leads out to the Bois, and, like the boulevard, has the same combina tion part street and part park of itself. The other streets are neither wide nor straight, but cool in a hot day and like ly warm iu winter. The buildings are not whole blocks freni street to street as in Paris, each separate house or store varying some what one from the other, but they are all in a locality or block about of the came height and degree of finish all kept clean and bright the telegraph Bud tt li phone wires all over the tops strung from roof to roof and the whole city supplied with street car service. Cue cf . the lines is supplied with cars tbat run on the track where there is a track and turn out on the pavement wL re there is none. This is done by nsii.g common omnibus wheels for the carriage and two leading wheels which drop into the grooves in the rails when iu line which keeps the car on all right. By custom, law or common sense none of the carriages has tires less than about two inches wide, so that the ground rail does not interfere at all with the common street traffic The king, either by his power or influ ence, sees to it that the companies give the worth of the money. The fares are very low only a cent for short rides, varying according to the distance and the companies are no doubt managed on economical linea As an example, the tickets or receipts are printed on paper and are canceled by the conductor tear ing off the ccruer. How simple com pared wiui the tmck ticket and punch ! The street cars, or tram cars, have maps of the route over which they travel posted so one who can follow a map can see where the special line he is on goes, what main streets it crosses and where it connects with other lines. Probably nothing has been said about Ernsst la for the last j00 years that did not include the Hotel de Ville, or town ball, with its openwork spire. Inside it is a museum, with many curiosities and noted paintings. Surrounding it and throughout the old part of tbe town there are many ancient Flemish build, ings, and in the new part is the Hull of Justice, one of the largest buildings in the world, if not the very largest, It is larger than St Peter's, and though Philadelphia claims to have the largest this is 000 by 600 and 400 feet high, as against tbe Philadslphia structure's 4C0 feet square by the same height, and the Philadelphia building has a large open court, which the Brussels Hall of Justice bus not. Anyway there is an awful lot of stone and architecture about it. I do not know whether they deal out justice on the same scale as the build ing, but the affairs of the, city seem to be well managed, and one would think, from the talk of the people, that the king has a good deal to do with it. He is greatly liked, is around the streets, and in the exhibition every day and stops to talk to the exhibitors and work men. We hud tbe honor of meeting him two or three times. He was going one way in tbe aisles of the exhibition and In the street, and we were going tbe other. "Long live the king I" John K Sweet in American Machinist Such Is Fame. A Prussian officer in the German ar my has been in the habit of questioning raw recruits on simple matters of na tional history. Here are a few replies to his question, "Who is Bismarck?" "Bismarck was emperor of the French. " "Bismarck is dead." "Eismarck is a pensioner and lives in Paris." "Bis marck took part in tbe campaign of 1870 and received a medal for good con duct." "Bismarck descends from the Iiohenzollerns aud was born on April 1." Of 00 recruits whom the officer had to instruct, 21 had never in their Lie liuud the name of the Iron Chancel lor. IHuatUfled. "Is young Ilopley much of a lawyer?" "No, he isn't any good at all.

Indian I t 'ra. 1 tliiiiu that the sorrows ol u iliild less wile in liuiia are not n ly so pit i.l as Mrs. Steel i .-rribes l ban to be, simply because of that "chih.i.s res ignation, that impressive acquiescence, w hii h, " she says, "docs more to ocparute east trom west than all the seas which i lie between Knglaud aud India," and be cause, even u inn uarrenness ot me first wife necessitates the marrying of a wcoiid (with a view to the future per-. formauee of religious rites), there can be no jtalousy between the two, for to them "marriage has for its object tbe preservation of the hearth tire, uot the tire of passion, and tho jealousy which is a virtue to the civilized is a crime to these barbarians." Mrs. Steel, I fear, has also fallen into the common error (it would have becu a marvel bad she not) of assuming that every graduate of an Indian nuiversity is a prig. The Indian graduate is also tbe pet version of Mr. Kudyard Kipling. But both are wrvg in their assumptions. Iu the discbarge of my academical duties, uot so very long ago, I came daily into contact with more than TOO undergrad uates of tbe Calcutta university, and I did not notice in them as a class any i particular priggishuess, anything which ' would differentiate them in that respect, ! say, from English varsity men. Acad-, emy. Floating I'p a River. It was a vexed question in 1800 whether tbe Pilcomuyo river, which flows for hundreds of miles from the Bolivian Andes to the Paraguay, might be used as a commercial highway from Bolivia to the ocean. Our countryman, Captain Page, settled this question so conclusively that no further effort to utilize the Pilconiaro is likely to be made, and in this work, that cost him bis life, for he died of bis privations after being hemmed in for mouths by hostile Indians, he devised a plan for steaming up river when the water was so low tbat his vessel was stuck in tbe mud. He was determined to go still farther; though his little steamer, which drew only 18 inches, rested pn the river bottom, so behind the boat be threw up an embankment of earth clear across tbe channel, backed it with palm trunks and brushwood, and before long the water bad risen a couple of feet, aud the little Bolivia was able to go on her way four miles before she stuck again. Then another dam was built, and this process was repeated seven times, and with tbe aid of the dams the vessel advanced about 35 miles above the highest point she could reach at the natural low water stage. Harper's Round Table. Court Fonla Who Owned Whole Town. Hitard, who was attached to Edmund Ironsides, is the first conrt jester of whom we have record. He owned the town of Walworth, a gift from the king. He held it through four succeeding reigns, and before leaving England for Rome, where he spent his last days, he presented it to tbe church, placing the deed upon the altar of the cathedral of Canterbury. Uallet, Uaiet or Gollet, a native of Bayeux, was one of William the Con queror's jesters. He was attached to William when only Duke of Kormandy and saved bis master's life by disclosing a plot for bis assassination. Berdio was another. He is eurolled in domesday book as joculator regis and lord of three towns, all rent free, and five carucates in Gloucestershire. Rahero was jester to Henry 1, and William Piculph, or Pi col, jester to King John. Master Henry, who, it is thought, may be identical with Henry of Avranches, the poet lau reate or versificator, was jester to Henry ILL Amelia Woffurd in St Nicholas. Coocliuive. A doctor on tour through tbe high lands came upon a fair sized village where there was no brother practition er. Surprised at this and anxious to learn bow the people got on without one, be took the first opportunity to in quire. "A doctor!" said tho old woman whom he accosted. " We need uae doc tor. " "And what do you do for tjiedicine in tbe case of illness?" pursued tbe man of medicina "We need nae medicine either. We jist keep whnsky for the man an tar for tbe sheep," replied the old woman. The doctor admitted that a glass of whisky might be good enough in some cases, but not always. "A weel, " readily responded the old woman, "if ae glass disna dae we gie twa, and if twa disna dae we mak' it three, and if that disna dae they were gaun tae dee onyway. Scottish Nights. Did She Ever Live In Doatonf A young lady of Buffalo who wanted something that would koep her stock ings up where they belonged thus ad dressed the terror stricken young store clerk : "It is my desire to obtain a pair of circular elastic appendages capable of being contracted and expanded by means of oscillating burnished steel ap pliances that sparkle like particles of gold leaf set with Alaska diamonds and which are utilized for keeping in posi tion the habiliment of the lower ex tremities which innate delicacy forbids me to mention. " Buffalo ( Wy.) Voice. The "Voice" at a Political Meeting. A candidate at an election was known to be strongly iu favor of flogging in the army. He said be saw no necessary disgrace attached to being flogged. "Why, " cried he, "1 was flogged my self once, and it was for telling the truth.

A characteristic story is told of Herr mann. Tbe incident took place at a well known London club, where ecarte was one of the favorite games indulged in for stakes by no means insignificant. It was observed tbat on these occasions a certain member almost invariably rose a considerable winner. At length sc. marked became the good fortune of this member tbat another determined to probe the matter to the bottom. One evening, accordingly, at his own rooms, he introduced Herrmann under a fale namo to a select party of the members, among whom figured tho suspected one. At the close of the night's amusement, when tho guests had departed, tho host turned to the conjurer and demanded bis opin'on. "Not a doubt of it," re plied Herrmann, "our friend cheats, but exactly bow I can't say yet Give mo another chance." A second meeting was subsequently arranged, and pluy began. Suddenly Herrmann, looking straight at the supposed culprit, ex claimed, "Where did you get that king?" "When?" replied tho other. "Out of the pact, of course." "Impos sible, my dear sir," retorted Herrmann, "fur I happen to have all the four kings here," and thereupon ho calmly drew tbem from his sleevo and laid them on the table. St. James Gazette.

New York Journal. BIRDS' EGGS. Th Reaaon Why They Are Not All of On Miepe. Why is there net a fixed form for all eggs? We can see no reason lu the anat omy of the bird, but we may often 11 nd reasous for the shape of auy particular egg iu its later history It is noticeable, for instance, that the more spherical eggs, as thosu of owls, troguus and tbe like, are usually laid in holes iu tho earth, rocks or trees, whore they cannot fall out of tho nest, aud that the eggs of the ordinary song bird, which mukes a well constructed nest, are oval, while the slim, straight sided, couoidul eggs, tapering sharply to a point, belong to birds that construct little or no uest to the shore birds, terns, guillemots and tho like. Why? Because these last drop them in small clutches aud with little or no prepara tion upon saud or rock, where, were they sphericul, they could only with difficulty be kept closer beneath the sit ting bird, bnt conical oljeUs will tend always to roll toward a center An ad ditional advuutugu is that en'gs of the latter shape will take up less space form a snugger package to be warmed. lu the case of guillemots the single egg laid is especially fiat sided and tapering, aud the species owes its perpetuation largely to this circumstance, since, were it not for the egg toplike tenden cy to revolve about its own ujiex, tho chances ure that it would be pushed off the ledge of uaked sea cliff where the cureless or stupid bird leaves it. This suggests a word iu reference to tbe popular fable that sitting birds care fully turn their eggs every day or often er in order to warm tbem equally No such thiug is done, because unnecessary, since, as we huve seeu, the germinal part always rises to the top aud places itself nearest the influential warmth of the mother's body. Ernest lugersoll in Harper's Magaziue. A Lucky Find. Two men walking on Campbell street toward Twelfth one night were accosted by a negro woman who was excited.

A French woman's PuneraU Tho Paris correspondent of tho Lon d i Telegraph, writing of a funeral re cently held iu an interior towu of Franco, says the dead woman had been in easy circumstance and had long been besot by the odd ambition to lie buried in pomp aud splendor and with the so. roiiipanimeiit of a largo crowd.

This condition of things leads to a great many details in the construction of tho works which would uot be thought of under different circumstances, although, us very often happens after one has accommodated himself to circumstances iu this way, tho result Is found to have no disadvau tages, but, ou tho contrary, Is fouud to be positively atlvautugcous. One of the features of the Baldwin works, which is a blacksmith shop, steam bummer aud all, is loeutud ou the second floor. This shop docs wlitit the Baldwin works call the light work.
