Buggeetioa About the H-orwm Car fjneatlaa. :
An uneasy conscience considers- ..'
point as settled, but ever concerns itself
with the rearrangement of old argu
ments and pleas. Therefore is it per
haps that one meets everywhere at this
season paragraphs in the papers all bear
ing on the question of giving seats in
horse cars up to women. . It is beautiful
to see with what unerring regularity
this ancient campaign is invariably
epened. Year after year, with that first
touch of frost which bring the summer
traveler back to town, it begins. - 1 have
often been struck with the persistence
of old types in these arguments, where
rules of mutual courtesy and tact seem
forgotten.
A new suggestion has, however, been
made. Separate cars, it is urged, might
be- provided for men. just as in ferry
boats different cabins are set apart. One
car. in other words, bearing the an
nouncement "For men only." to be run
at certain intervals. But, . after all.
would this answer any better? Women
in crowded ferries have to stand, seats
in their cabin being filled by men, and
no woman yet lived with courage to
penetrate the cabin on the other side,
claiming a seat there for herself. Why
not acknowledge at. once that women,
even in the rush of travel, carry with
them a certain quality of refinement
that ' no man can command " at will
among his fellows. We are ready enough
to recognize this- at home. Why not
recognize this power wherever women
move in public places? Harper's Bazar.
Two Conversation.
The two pale faces" looking into the
great shop window filled with soft, beau
tiful furs, belonged to a young mother
scantily clad and a little boy. of five or
thereabout, both lingering instinctively
as they passed the wealth of . warm
clothing displayed so temptingly.
"Them things must be very warm," said
the little fellow, "and nice and soft,
mammy." "Very warm, dear; very
nice and soft. answered the young
creature, with unconscious repetition as
a blast of icy wind came from the chill
East river, making them both shiver as
they walked slowly on. It was only a
chance scrap of conversation heard as
the crowd surged "by.
As if to mark the irregularities of
fate, the places of the little mother and
her boy were immediately filled by two
young girls glowing with health and
spirits, and evidently enjo3ing the keen
wintry air. "Furs are selling for really
nothing-here." remarked one of them to
her companion; "l am going in to get a
new boa and muff, although 1 really do
not need them at all; but they look so,
pretty ana sort ana warm that 1 cannot
resist them." Almost the same words
as those used by the shabby little child,
but with what a difference! New York

A Big Hole iu Arizona.
ti. K. Oilbert and Marcus Baker, the
former chief geologist of the United
States geological survey, with a force of
men, have returned to Flagstaff from
Canyon Diablo, where they were sent by
the government to take observations and
make a map of the region where so much
meteoric iron' lias recently been found.
They spent sixteen days investigating
the mammoth hole in the ground sup
posed to have been made by a meteor.
The hole is 655 feet deep and 2 miles in
circumference.
Tho theory is that from the appearance
of the walls and the fact that they have
found many pieces of meteoric iron
around the hole, the meteor penetrated
the earth to a depth of 700 or 800 feet
before it exploded, and this accounts for
the strange phenomenon. Three pieces
of the meteor, weighing 300. 600 .and 800
pounds respectively, were found on the
mesa within two miles of the crater and
are now in the Smithsonian institution.
Besides these they found many pieces
weighing from two ounces upward.

' 'TFreaaa Cokry firni. '.
With the best of Anglo-Saxon inten
tions it is sometimes a little difficult to
avoid the use of French terms in cookery
or a bill of fare. Here are some that one
encounters constantly: Beleve is no dish
in particular so far as the style of pre
paration is concerned, but answers to'
the word "remove," and consists of a
dish replacing another, a doubling, so to
speak, of the same course before going
en to the next. It is therefore not un
usual to find in a large dinner a relevede
potage, releve de rot, de gihier, etc. En
tree is a made dish served after the fish
or in its stead, where it is not obtain
able, and preceding the rots or roast
meat. - After the latter comes the entre
mets, i. e., sweets or puddings.
" The term hors d'euvre is the most dif
ficult to particularize. When cold it
comprises all side dishes which are really
accessories to the meal. As such they
can be and are eaten indifferently either
before or after the soup; they are always
placed on the table when it is being laid,
and are often left there until the entrees
have been served. ;They consist of. rad
ishes, olives, caviar, boutargue, all man
ner of salt and smoked fish, sardines,
anchovies and a variety of dainties. '
Hot hors d'euvre are almost unlimited;
they are very acceptable' at large din
ners, and are generally served immedi
ately after the soup and before the fish:
they are tften fried or baked, and are
then usually such things as can be dished
on a napkin, such as patties, rissoles,
croquettes, vol-auvent, etc.; obviously,
however, the -series can be very much
extended. At ordinary family dinners
they are often served as and instead of
an entree. Providence Journal.
The Boy Who Discovered the "Saw By."
A few years ago a green country boy
applied to the superintendent of a "west
ern railway for work, and, somewhat
against the superintendent's wish, on ac
count of the danger to life and limb at
tendant upon such occupation, was given
a place as brakeman of a freight' train.
On one of his first trips it happened
that his train met another freight train
at a station . where the side track was
not long enough to accommodate either
of them. The conductors were debating
which train should back up to a point
where they could pass, when the new
hand ventured to Buggest that neither
should back; that they could pass each
other by means of the short side track if
the thing was managed right.
The idea excited a good deal of laugh
ter on the part of the old trainmen, but
the boy stood his ground.
"Well, how would you go about it?"
asked one of the conductors, confident
that the lad would soon find himself
against a stump.
The boy took up a stick and traced in
the sand a diagram to illustrate his plan.
"Good gracious!" said the conductor,
"I believe that will do itt" " '
And it did do it. Today every train
man in America probably knows how to
"saw by" two long trains on a short side
track, but it is not so generally known
that the thing was never done until an
inexperienced country boy, who ' is now
the manager of a great railway line,
worked out the problem for himself.
Washington Post.
An Eipemln Infirmity.
I happened to be in a Broadway opti
cian's store and saw a good looking, well
dressed matron with a slip of a girl and
a small boy, all of whom wore spec
tacles. The lady gave some directions
about a pair of glasses, and when she
had gone I asked the optician whether
defective visipn is hereditary.
"Rarely," said he. '.'That lady has
four children, and all of them must wear
glasses. The father's eyes are sound.
The mother and her children are afflict
ed with astigmatism, a defect of the
vision which is almost as rare as any
thing that afflicts the human eyes. It
makes straight lines crooked and parallel
lines fade into one. Special glasses must
be made and ground to suit each person,
and sometimes the respective eyes. They
cost five dollars apiece too. So you see
a large family of children with astigma
tism costs a good deal of money in
glasses alone. As the children grow up
the range of vision changes, they break
or lose their glasses oftener than adults,
which increases the expense. " New
York Herald.
The Shark la a Slow Swimmer. '
One ill service nature has done the
shark, namely, that of placing a trian
gular fin on his back which acts as a
danger signal and gives warning of his
approach. Happily, the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacity' to be
aware of this peculiarity, for had he
been so he would unquestionably aban
don his habit of swimming close to the
surface of the. water, and would; in that
case, be enabled to approach his victim
unobserved. . The shark is a slow swim
mer for his size and strength.
Byron observes, "As darts the dolphin
from the shark;" but Byron was a poet,
and does not appear to have been a close
observer of the habits of inhabitants of
the water, or he would have known that
a shark would have no more chance of
catching a dolphin than a sheep would
of overhauling a hare. A shark will
keep up with. a sailing- ship, but it is as
much as it can do to follow in the wake
of a fast steamer, and a torpedo boat
would be able to give it points. London

Xaneing for a PoaUkg,
A mild way of hazing uninitiated schol
ars has been in vogue for a long time at
the Eclectic Medical college. - Every new
man is required to get up before the
whole school ami give a little jig before
he will be recognized as a fit person to
associate with. - If he refuses at first to
give the jig he is not in it with the boys,
who 'slight him on every possible occa
sion and make him the butt of their,
jokes. Some-very dignified scholars
found it terribly hard to get through the
little ordeal, but experience taught them
to succumb, and there is not one of them
who has not rattled his feet in accordance
with the unwritten rule of the institu
tion. Of course this is a matter which
does not come under the jurisdiction of
the faculty. ciimahEiiquirer.
.'Criticism for the Eagle.
Why cannot some able designer get up
a representation of the eagle that looks
something like that glorious bird? The
spread ' wing idea is unnatural and ab
surd. It is only because of its antiquity
that it is tolerated. ' An eagle that would
spread its wings and legs in an attempt
to symbolize peace and war deserves to
be shot. A fine design of an American
eagle at rest, perched on a crag or limb
of a tree, would not be a bad one for our
silver coins. Cincinnati Commercial

pimples.
The old idea of 40 yean ago was that facial
eruptions were due to a "blood humor," for
which they gave potash. Thus all the old Sarsa
parillss contain potash, a most objectionable and
drastic mineral, that instead of decreasing,
actually creates more eruptions. .You have no
ticed this when taking otht r Sarsaparillas than
Joy's. It is however now known that the stom
ach, the blood creating power, is the seat of all
vitiating or cleansing operations. A stomach
clogged by indigestion or constipation, vitiates
the blood, result pimples. A clean stomach and
heolf hlul digestion purifies it an J they disappear.
Thus Joy's Vegetable Sarsanarilla is compounded
after the modern idea to regulate tho bowels and
stimulate tho digestion. Tbe effect is immediate
and most satisfactory. A short testimonial to
contrast tbe action of the potash Partajwirlllas
and Joy'ii modern vegptabls preparation, lira.
