IMPROVED TOURIST SLEEPERS.
Railroads Are Acceding to Demands of
Kiddle Classes 'Who Want Better
Sleeping-Car Service. .
' la response to the demand of the
times the O. E. & N. and its connec
tions are placing in operation a much
better grade of tourist sleepers for I'a-
cific coast service than at any previous
time. The largely increased traffic tc
this section of ' the country has de
manded all the improvements of latter
day transportation, and in considera
tion of tihs the railroads are establish
ins a service which is excellent in
every 7 particular. Not only, are the
Wishes of the first-class passengers
served, Irat those . who are traveling to
and from the East on second-class tick
eta are splendidly cared for. There art
was a time when a tourist sleeper ap
pealed to a limited number of people
who were traveling on the "cheap" or
der, in every meaning -of the term.
Now, however, there has been a radical
change. "With the better tourist sleep
ers in operation the class of passengers
has been improved, and one may now
travel upon them and enjoy all the
privileges ox a nrst-class sleeper at a
greatly reduced rate.
Daily, on the O. K. & 2J. Eastbound
fast mail, is attached one of these latest
improved tourist sleepers, a model of
beauty and handsome appointments,
The new cars are almost an exact
counterpaf; of the first-class sleepers.
One noticeable feature of the new
tourist cars is the absence of a smok
ing apartment. The new. cars being
built by the Pullman Company are not
pomded with smoking apartments.
This new departure has been taken be
cause ' of the' fact that most through
trains are provided with composite
cars, which provide a smoker for the
sleeping-car passengers.
The demand for men to work in the
lumber woods during' the season that
is just opening is better than it has
been for- some years, and the wages
offered are 25 per cent higher. The
tide of workers from the harvest field
to the pineries has set in, and yet the
demand is greater than the supply.

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well' known remedy,
Stbup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fie Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing1 the system effectually,
dispelling1 colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fie Stbup

MARINE RAILWAY NEAR NEW
YORK IS UNIQUE.
Tt Is Only One-half Mile In Length,
' but It Hat a Monopoly of a Good
Business and Kama a Great Deal of
Money.. '.; '
' The leatb of Mr. VandeTbllt brought
back to my memory recollections of
Austin Corbtn. - My attention was re
cently called to the least known enter
prise which the late Mr. Corbin found
ed, and which, according to one source,
is the richest railroad in the world. The
road is within half an hour's ride from
New York and is known as the Marine
Railroad. .-, The entire distance covered
by this road is barely -a quarter of 7 a
mile, and the fare Is the uniform and
small rate of 5 cents, fhe road serves
to connect the two summer resorts
Manhattan Beach and Brighton Beach.
The trip over the road occupies omfly a
minute with the comparatively slow
locomotive, two of which, with two
cars, make up the entire rolling stock
of this wealthy road. The road, has
been an absolute monopoly of traffic,
uiougn, oetween the two beaches,
which axe connected by a narrow strip
of land. This strip Mr. Corbin, wise
man that he was, built his road on and
issued orders that any one who wanted
to walk alongside the roadbed was tak
ing chances of arrest for trespass," and
this season a number of special officers
headed off all would-be promenaders
who wanted to save the fare of 5 cents.
On one side of tbls strip is the ocean,
on the other swamps and marshes. To
circle around these swamps in order to
reach' the opposite beach would require
a walk of at least three miles, hence
the. profit accruing from the Marine
Railroad. The road operates only three
months a year, but during these three
months it carries on an average 50,000
or 60,000 - passengers- a- -week. : Last
Fourth of July the two - engines and
two coaches carried 28,000 persons at
5 cents, and no half fares for children
either. The staff is In keeping with the
extent of rolling stock.'. It consists of
two engineers, two firemen, two con
ductors, two ticket sellers and two gate
men. The superintendent of Manhattan
Beach Is at the same time general man
ager of the Marine Railroad, Its gener
al passenger agent and freight agent
all in one person. - It la said that the
operating ' expenses for the three..
month 8 of the season do not exceed
$3,000. In 1891 the road is said to have
cleared $57,000 above all expenses. Its
capital is $20,000, and, according to one
of Its stockholders, It has cleared up
wards of $1,000,000 for the sharehold
ers during Its existence, a dividend of
250 per cent, per annum;: The hundred
dollar shares are therefore worth in the
neighborhood of $5,000, a higher prem
ium than that commanded by Cheml-
can Bank stock, which Is usually con
sidered to be the most remarkable In
vestment in that respect. That the
stockholders are numerically almost as
small as the staff of the road can be
easily imagined, and that none of the
stock is for sale Is also self-understood.
In one respect the miniature railway
resembles the miniature states of An

Weather Conditions Now About the

" This, subject is of extreme Interest
and merits a most thorough , study. We
find the "early" and the "latter" rain
to-day in Palestine precisely as de
scribed 3,500 years ago. "Jordan over
flows all its banks" in February to-day
exactly as it did in Joshua's time,
thirty-three centuries ' ago. Plants
taken from mummy cases in Egypt,
which must have been gathered more
than 5,000 years since, are practically
of the same size and have the same ap
pearance as those growing to-day. Rec
ords of vintages In France over 700 years
show practically the same dates as to
day. Actual observations of rainfall
for over 200 years in France show no
change. Observations of temperature
for almost 200 years at St Petersburg
show no change appreciable to us,
though, of course, the earliest observa
tions were extremely crude and some-
what ! unreliable, s Facta of this kind
might be adduced to fill a small vol
ume. On the other hand, we have rec
ords - of , most extraordinary- vcold
weather in ancient times. ? One winter
the light wine in France froze. An
other winter the Elver Po froze over
bo as to bear teams, an unheard-of
phenomenon to-day. , In this journal
recently It is stated that "Parnassus
and Sccrate, now free from snow, were
covered -with it in classic antiquity."
Also . "the name of Greenland, which
strikes ns as so singularly, inappropri
ate, was not Inapplicable at the time It
was named, in the fourteenth century."
It Is entirely probable that descrip
tions of the cold In ancient times were
much exaggerated. Parnassus and
Socrate have snow at times, and. In
earlier days, when protection against
the cold and snow was much less than
now, a little snow would go a long way.
The earlier voyagers from Iceland,
more than 1,000 years ago, leaving a
land of almost perpetual Ice and snow,
and reaching a land Jn the summer
with its beautiful green color to their
unaccustomed eyes, . would very nat
urally give the name of Greenland to
It At the summer time, it is said that
Greenland presents a most beautiful
green near the Danish settlements to
this day. Our oldest inhabitants, who
have been wont to describe the terri
ble cold and deep snows of their boy
hood days as incomparably greater
than anything which does or can occur
to-day, have completely lost their reck
oning the last winter when reading of
a ship that had sunk in New York har
bor by weight of the Ice upon It; also,
that Washington had had thirty -four
Inches of snow on a level and the low
est temperature ever noted in that fair
city. I am sure a careful study will
show no appreciable change In the cli
mate of this earth since the early his
toric times. Of course, nothing here
adduced touches climatic changes In
glacial times or In prehistoric times,
which changes have been established
beyond question.-rPopular , Science.
Curious Ways of Marking Tim,
The islanders of the South Pacific
have no clocks, but . make a curious
time-marker of their own. 'They take
the kernels from the nuts of the candle
tree and wash and string them on the
rib of a palm leaf. The first or top ker
nel Is then lighted. All the kernels are
of the same size and substance, and
each will burn a certain number of
minutes and then set fire to the next
one below. The1 natives tie pieces of
bark, cloth at regular Intervals along
the string, to' mark the divisions of
time. Among the natives of Slngan,
in. the Malay Archipelago another pe
culiar device Is used. Two bottles are
placed neck and neck, and sand is put
In one of them which pours itself into
tlx ether eae erery half-hour, when the
bottles are reversed. There Is a Hue near
on which are hung twelve rods, marked
with notches from one to twelve. A
regular appointed keeper attends to the
bottles and rods, and sounds the hour
upon a gong. "

: It has often been suggested that the

candescent particles r-f carbon, and
within a few years past the. presence
of carbon in the sun has been demon
strated by the spectroscope. Lately'
Prof. Hale, the director of the Yerkes
Observatory, has shown that there is a
thin layer of carbon in the lowei part
of the sun's atmosphere. It surrounds
the solar globe like a luminous! shell,
and under normal conditions is proba
bly not more than five hundred miles
above the sun's surface. But when an
eruption takes place from beneath the

Analysis of Instinct. - l
jA.il English traveler in Northern Rus
sia,; telling how . he made Ills ". way
through a forest after a fall of snow
simply by keeping that side of" the tree
to which the snow clung always in the
same relation to his course, is led to
examine how it is that a savage gains
the Instincts of his race.
We often hear of "the Instinct of di
rection," as we may call it possessed so
marvelously by savage races. People
profess to expla'n it In one of two ways.

question. "
Instinct however It may be In the
case of animals, is here, no doubt hered

It was confined to the region controlled

parently Included all the invention of
the inventor connected with engines
that depended upon water for their mo

was fourteen years and the court not
only retained power to forbid exporta

upon the public for their use.

FATAL AGE OF THIRTY-SEVEN.
Many of tne World's Great Men Have
- neenm bod When Only 1 hit A pre.
The age of 37 Is a particularly fatal
age. An examination of the records of
the United States government shows
that more people die at that age than
any other after attaining their major
ity. - It Is also ascertained that more
misfortunes overtake persons at that
age than at any other time in their lives
and. that few fortunate events befall
them.
An examination of history develops
the same thing. At the age of 37 a
great sorrow befell Aristotle, the death
of Plato, his friend and teacher, with
whom he had studied for nearly twenty
years. This sorrow plainly showed Its
effects upon his future life and to it
may be attributed the sad tone of his
later writings.
It was at the age of 37 that Lord
Byron died of fever at Greece. As
Lord Beaconsfield says he was "greater
as a man than as a writer and his loss
to the world was a great blow to It"
Raphael, the glory of Italian art, died
at 37. He fell sick a week before his
birthday of cold and fever and died on
that day, Good Friday. In him the
world lost one of Its greatest artists.'
In music, like art and poetry, En
gland lost her- greatest composer at
the age of 37. Purcell, the most dis
tinguished musician Britain produced,
died within a few days after attaining
his thirty-seventh year. The regard In
which he was held in England placed
him on a par with Milton in epic poetry,
with Shakspeare on the stage, Locke
In metaphysics, and Sir. Isaac Newton'
In philosophy and mathematics.
: It was at the age of 37, too, that En
gland lost a military genius that she
regarded as of the highest rank and
promised Prince Henry of Battenburg
died of fever in Ashantee in that year'
of his life.
Pascal!, too. died at 37, but why seek
more Illustrations? These are sufficient
to Illustrate the fatality of the . age
among geniuses. Where death failed
misfortune often befelL -. ..-'-So
the age of 37 may be regarded as
the fatal age of all those after a man T
passes his majority.

The fame of Elihn Burritt, the
learned blacksmith, who died some 20
years ago, is still fresh in memory.
Burritt mastered Latin, . Greek and
French while plying his hammer at
the forge, and he made as light of
translating Icelandic sagas as of shoe
ing a horse.
Pico della Mirandola, a learned Ital
ian of the 15th century, was eloquent
in 22 languages, and M. Fulgence Fres-
nel was familiar with 20.
Character is the onlv reliable certifi
cate issued by the school of life.

Bis Head's Conrse,
. On the second day ont one ef the
sailors on a Whit Star steamer had a
bad fall and sustained a severe cut on
his head. One of the ladies onboard
' wag very solicitious about him, and in
quired of the captain that evening how
he was doing. Rough weather came
on, and she was compelled to forget the
wounded sailor in her own suffering.
Four days later, when she emerged
white and weak, from her stateroom,
she saw the poor sailor with a strip of
plaster on his forehead. "How is your
head?" she asked, kindly,' as he passed
by on some duty. "West by south,
m'am,". was the reply, delivered with
respectful but hasty clearness, and he
was gone.'

superior claims of his elder brother
Jnssef . -, He was very . unsuccessful in

Christians and was at .length assassi
nated by poison absorbed through his
skin from a shirt. . He entertained a
desperate dislike to the brother whom
ho had injured, and when he knew
that his own fate was sealed he sent an
order to the governor of" the prison in
which Jessuf was confined that ' he
should be executed ; immediately.
When the order arrived Jessuf was
playing chess with the chaplain of the
prison. With great difficulty Jessuf
obtained a respite from the governor
permitting him to finish the game.
Before it was ended, however, news
came that the usurper had died of the
poison. . This cancelled the order of
excution. and Jussef, instead of going
to the scaffold, mounted the' throne.
