LONG BEFORE PULLMAN'S DAY.
Benjamin Dearborn, In 1819, Thought
Out the Sleeping and Dining Car.
The recent Pullman troubles impart
a special interest to a discovery re
cently made by File Clerk Walter H.
French, amontj the archives of the
house of representatives, says the
Washington Post. The discovery is in
the nature of a petition to congress
preferred in 1819 clearly foreshadowing
the modern system of sleeping cars.
The petition is all the more interesting
because the power of steam used in the
propulsion of railroad trains at that
time was still in its infancy and wrapped
more or less in vague mystery. The
paper is as follows;
"The memorial of Benjamin Dear
born, of Boston, respectfully repre
sents: That he has devised in theory a
mode of propelling wheel carriages in
a manner probably unknown in any
country, and has perfectly satisfied his
own mind of the practicability ol con
veying mails and passengers with, such
celerity as has never before been ac
complished, and in complete security
from robbery on the highway.
"For obtaining these results he relies
on carriages propelled by steam on lev
el railroads, and contemplates that
they can be furnished with accommo
dations for passengers to take their
meals and their rest during the pas
sage, as in a packet; that they be suf
ficiently high for persons to walk in
them without stooping, and so capa
cious as to accommodate twenty, thir
ty or more passengers and their bag
gage." HIS ORDER.
The College President's Injunction Was a
Difficult One to Obey.
The speaker who has planned an ad
dress for a multitude, and finds himself
confronted with but a single auditor,
sometimes fails to readjust his remarks,
and the result is apt to be ludicrous.
A little story illustrative of this point
is told in connection with a former
president of the University of North
Carolina.
One day, as this dignified aid stately
personage was walking about the cam
pus, he observed an unlawful assem
blage of students at some little dis
tance. He did not hasten his steps, but
proceeded slowly toward them with his
head down and his eyes apparently
bent in contemplation of his own boots,
When this leisurely proceeding had
brought him to the spot where the
students had been gathered, only one
young man remained, the others having
precipitately departed.
The president raised his head and
surveyed the solitary culprit with ap-
possessing the Feminine Tvpe of parent severity, although the young
Thumb, which indicates in its small , contended that he detected
size, slenderness, sort nan, ana
"Sir," said the president in a com
manding tone, "instantly disperse to
your several places of abode!"
Difficult though the feat required cer
tainly was, the young man executed it
to the best of his ability by "dispers
ing" without further delay.
mals with" it, the tigress pounced upon
the baboon and with great fury dis
patched it. After gently caressing her
offspring, she turned to me with a look
which plainly expressed her thanks for
the service I had rendered her. She
then disappeared in the forest, her two
cubs trotting behind her."

THE VAMPIRE BAT.
A Dnsd Creature That Is Common hi
India.
I have always despised bats, said a
Cleveland man recently, and it always
sends a shudder over me whenever one
of the hideous creatures approaches
me. The bats of this country, how
ever, are not to be dreaded in compar
ison to those of the vampire species
which abound in India. Just imagine
a big mouse with a horn on his head
like a rhinocerous, furnish him with a
pair of demon-like wings, and you have
a very good picture of this latter kind.
The natives dread the vampire bat on
account of his blood-sucking propensi
ty. In the sultry nights he fans the
heated sleeper with his wings while
his needle-like teeth are being in
serted into the veins of his victim,
quenching his thirst for blood with
such gentleness that it is only by some
fortunate chance that he is discovered
before the mischief is done. It is a
well-authenticated fact that if an indi
vidual is once bled by a vampire he is
invariably chosen, in preference to all
others equally exposed for a subseqent
attack, and even if he were to move
ten or twenty nnlus away, no im
munity is gained thereby, as the bat is
sure to follow him and keep up his
blood-thirsty attack until his victim
succumbs or the animal is discovered
and killed. Cattlo and horses, from
being more exposed, are more frequent
ly chosen as the subjects of attack by
these loathsome creatures.
IT IS NOT SLANG.
trived to overturn the earth by means
of the forked limb of a tree, shaped in
the semblance of a plow and drawn by
oxen, began a great revolution in the
art of agriculture. To this unknown
genius we may award a place among
the benefactors of mankind, quite as
distinguished as that which is occupied
by the equally unknown inventors of
the arts of making fires or of smelting
ores. After the experience with the
strength of oxen had been won from
the work of plowing it was easy to pass
to the other grades of their employ
ment where they were made to draw
carriages.
Next after the contribution which the
kindred of the bulls have made by their
strength we must set that which has
come from their milk. Although this
substance can be obtained in small
quantities from several other domestic
ated animals, the species of the genus
Uos alone have yielded it in sufficient
quantities greatly to aif eet the develop
ment of man. It is difficult to measure
the importance of the addition to the
diet, both of savage and civilized peo
ple, which milk affords. It is a fact
well known to physiologists that in its
simple form tliis substance is a com
plete food, capablo when taken alone of
sustaining life and insuring a full de
velopment of the body.

Carried Bo Much lilertrlclty That a Car
la Net on Fire.
The efficacy of a black cat as a light
ning rod has been too frequently the
subject of discussion and assertion to
be treated at length at the present
time, the drift of which Is to i-hmv the
apt manner in which an illustration of
this popular belief can be deduced
from an incident that occurred on the
evening of the Fourth of July to the
wife of a well-known business man of
Washington.
On the evening in question the young
matron had been expending consider
able time and attention upon a hand
some black cat, which she continued to
stroke, notwithstanding thei assertion
of her family that by so doing she va
charging herself with electricity.
Finally after dark the young matron
decided that a pleasant way of wind
ing up the evening would be to go for
a ride on the electric ear to Itetliesda.
Accordingly, inviting two of her
friends to accompany her. she set out
for the ride in high spirits.
The trio found places together near
the middle of the car, and hud irone a
short distance beyond the power house
when their conversation was inter
rupted by the conductor hurriedly
bending over them as though to avert
some catastrophe beneath and telling
them to leave the car with all speed,
as it was on fire. Scarcely had they
left their seats lefore a sheet of flume
burst through the floor just beneath
the very spot over which the young
matron had been sitting, the electrical
apparatus beneath having ignited at
that very point.
GRATITUDE.

The Term "Gent" nnd Its Modern Application.
The word "cent" nowadays seems to
wear its hat cocked on one side of the
tiead and to walk with a caddish swag
ger of vulgar self-importance. But I
inow a worthy old lady in the country,
writes Edward Eggleston in Century,
ivho calls her husband the "old gent,"
.uingitasa title of respect, and such
it was in her childhood and long be
fore. In 1754 Rev. Samuel Uuvies,
afterward president of Princeton col
lege, traveling in England, describes
Rev. Dr. Ltirdner as "a little pert old
gent," epithets that would not be nat
tering to a minister to-tlay, nor even
digniiied for a minister to use. "l'ert''
here has the sense of "lively" much
as a Kentuckian might use "peart" or
a New Englander "perk." Indeed, I
suspect that Davies gave the word the
sound of "peart," That Davies used
"gent" as a term of respect is shown by
his characterization of another rev
erend doctor as "a venerable, humble
and affectionate old gent." It will not
do, therefore, to account a word recent
because of its slanginess. When a
smoker professes fondness for "the
weed" ho does not dream that he is
using an epithet applied to tobacco by
King James I. in 1H:.'0. and that nearly
two hundred years earlier than James,
in the reign of Edward VI., the liop-
pliint just coming into England was
called "the wicked weed." Whut
plant had worn this title of contempt
before the hop l do not know.

Whales Captured on the Itrltlsh Coast lie
long to Victoria.
Among the most curious of Queen
Victoria's perquisites Is her right to
every whale or sturgeon captured on
the coast of the United Kingdom and
brought to land, iioth of these per
quisites date back to the days of the
Norman kings, and it appears that in
the case of the whale the monsters
were divided between the sovereign
and his consort, the queen taking the
head ill order that her wardrobes
might be replenished -with the whale
bone needed for the stiffening of her
royul giiriiii'iitH.
Another of the queen's perquisites,
says the '".ii-ago Times, is a certain
number of magnificent cashmere
shawls, wlsi'-li are dispatched to her
every 1. ::r n "in the kingdom of t'ush
mere. They vary in value, as a rule,
from sixty to two hundred and lifty
pounds sterling apiece, and the queen is
accustomed to present one of them as a
wedding present to every young girl of
the aristocracy in whose future she Is
in any way interested. Every tailor
holding a patent of "purveyor to her
majesty," if he conforms to ancient
tradition and usage, should present her
with a silver needle each year.
Another class of royal purveyors is
called upon to present to her annually
a tablecloth, while from other sources
again she is entitled to an annual con
tribution of currycombs, lire tongs,
scarlet hoiscry, nightcaps, knives,
lances, and crossbows. Moreover, at
the coronation the lord of manor of
Addington must present to the sover
eign a "dish of pottage" composed of
"milk of almond, brawn of capons,
sugar, spices, chickens parboiled and
chopped." At the same ceremony the
lord of the manor of Iloydon is olt-
liged, by virtue of his tenure from the
crown, to present the monarch with a
towel, the lord of the manor of the
workshop giving the sovereign a
"right-handed glove." These arc only
a few of the various requisites to which
Queen Victoria Is entitled by tradition
and usage.

A Sportaman, Sporting Man, and
Not the Same Thing.
There were a knot of men standing
on a streetcorner, says the Washington
Post. One of them had just finished re
lating some experiences of a hunting
excursion which he had taken the day
previous down the river.
"No you re a sporting man, are you,
Jack? I never knew that before,
really," said one of his companions.
"No, sir," said the first speaker, "I
am not a sporting man; I am a sports
man, but I am neither a sporting man
nor a sport."
"Indeed! And where, pray, is the
difference?"
"The difference? Why, great Seott,
man, there is as much distinction be
tween (t sportsma.i, and a sporting
man, and a sport as there is between a
doctor, a cannibal, and a thief!" The
speaker glared at the others, but the
first man still looked blank.
"Pray define it then," he said after a
pause.
"To be sure. It's something that
everybody ought to know, but unfortu
nately lots of folks never take tho
trouble to learn those things. A sports
man is a man who- loves sport in its
truest sense. At least I so consider it.
He is a man who enjoys hunting, fish
ing, camping out, and is commonly
fond of other athletic amusements in
the way of boating, swimming, and
the like. He is, pardon my opinion,
apt to be a man of gentlemanly in
stincts and brains. A sporting man is
an entirely different sort of a fellow,
lie is one who takes an interest iu sports
of different sorts, although he may not
engage in any of them at all. lie prob
ably plays the races, drinks hard, takes
in all the prize lights, and spends most.
of his evenings, when there is nothing
else on hand, playing cards and whoop
ing things up. Hut a sport is on a still
lower scale, lie is a fellow who thinks
he's big potatoes when he's really noth
ing but 11 runt, lie need not know any
thing about sports or engage iu them
either. His reputation will be won

No, sir; there are a good many persons
who are proud to be called sporting
men or sports, but to call a true sports
man by Buch a term is little short of an
insult."
MEN AND WOMEN.
onie Cardinal Voiuts of Difference Be
tween the Sexes.
Women always show by their actions
that tliey enjoy going to church; men
are less demonstrative. When a wom
an becomes Hurried she feels for a fur.;
when a man becomes flurried he feels
for a cigar. Women jump at conclu
sions and generally hit, says the New
York Advertiser; men reason things
out logically and generally miss the
truth. Some women can't pass a mil
linery shop without look 1kg" in; some
men can't pass a public hohsp without
going in. A woman never sees a baby
without wanting .to run to it; a man
never sees a baby without wanting to
run away from it. Women love admir
ation, approbation, self-immolation on
the part of others; are often weak,
vain and frivolous. Ditto men. . A
woman always carries her purse in her
hand, so that other women will see it;
a man carries his in his inside pocket,
so that his wife won't see it. A wom
an can sit in a theater for three hours
without getting all cramped up, catch
ing the tootb'ache or becoming faint
for want of fresh uir; a man can't. A
woman, from her sex und character,
has a claim to many things beside her
shelter, food and clothing. She is not
less a woman for being wedded; and
tho man who is fit to be trusted with a
good wife recollects all which this im
plies, and shows himself at all times
chivalrous, swet-spoken, considerate
and deferential.
I.lllpuMun Cattle.
The Sumoaii Islands are the natural
habitat of tho most diminutive species
of variety of the genus bos now known
to the naturalist. The average weight
of the males of these liliputian cattle
seldom exceed two hundred pounds,
the average being not greater than one
hundred and fifty pounds. The females
usually average ubout one hundred
pounds larger, are very "stocky built,
seldom being taller than a merino
sheep." These dwarf cattle are nearly
all of the same color reddish mouse
color marked with white. They have
very large heads as compared with
their bodies and their horns are of ex
ceptional length.
Not In Ills Mne.
A short time ago, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal, a young lady was
troubled with a boil on her knee which
grew so bad that she thought it neces
sary to call in a physician. She had
formed a dislike lor tne laiiiuy (mj"-

I.N France the cooks have salad

There nre many curious uses of fans
in Japan. The umpire at wrestling
and fencing matches uses a heavy one,
shaped like a huge butterfly, the han
dle being the body, and rendered im
posing by heavy eods of silk. The
various motions of the fan constitute a
language which the wrestlers fully un
derstand and appreciate. Formerly in
the time of war the Japanese comman
der used it large fan, having a frame of
iron covered with thick paper. In
case of charge it could be shut, and a
blow from its iron bones was no light
11 flair. ( Hie notable vnrkty of fan is
made of waterproof paper, which can
be dippeil in water, and creates great
coolness by evaporation, without wet
ting the clothes. Tho flat fan, made
of rough pa per, is often used as a grain
winnow, to blow the charcoal fires and
as a dustpan.
