From TbU Kmlrt It Mat Dw That HU Bftajcatr Asot American railroads have almost as many different kinds of cars for carry ing animals as they have cars for pas sengers. . One kind of car that is used for shipping horses is known technically as a palace horse car, aim, for fine woodwork and brasswork, it is a palace car, giving horses fine accom modations. Each horse has his own stateroom, so to speak, for the car is fitted with independent stalls. Each stall haa manger and water trough, overhead are racks for holding extc feed. Sheep and hogs are often carried in cars with two stories. These are known as double-deckers, and the animals are They have pmyyeu iu uuiu room to lie down in and water is sup plied to them from pipes. Horses and cattle are sidetracked at intervals if the cars are making a long run, and the beasts are led out and al lowed to run around for exercise. Then they are driven back to their cars and resume their journey. Sheep are often unloaded within a few miles of their destination and turned loose to rest and feed until they are in good flesh. This is not done merely from motives of humanity, it has been found that the sheep are so much improved by it that they bring higher prices when they reach the market Why people should make bets on matter about which they have no information, and then ask me to de cide them without ascertaining whether I know any more than they do, is one of the mysteries of edi torial life, says a writer in London Truth. Here is the latest example cf this singular practice: "Sir: I should esteem it a favor if you will kindly answer in your Truth columns or privately, what iu height of King Edward VII. is, as two papers have already been written to, and they decidedly disagree, one stat ing five feet five and one-half inches, and the other five feet four inches, and I shall, therefore, take your measurement as authentic, etc. One might have supposed that his previous experience would have shaken this gentleman's confidence in ,m.-ioi nfniiihilitv. Whv did he not write to the king's tailor? I have never had occasion to take his majesty's measure. But if my guese is to decide the knotty point, I guess five feet seven inches. No doubt plenty of people will be ready to correct this off hand; but I do not believe I can be more than half an inch out either way. Certainly both the figures given above are un der the mark.

One Regard in Which Our Natural R Boureea Are Deficient Fine Stones Scarce. "It Is a little strange," said Irving L. Russell to a Washington Post re porter, "that the United States, so far ahead In national resources of every other part of the globe in all essential things, should be so deficient as a pro ducer of precious stones. I am of the opinion that there will be a big discov ery some day of the most valued gems, probably in some out of the way cor ner of the land. "T do not mean to Intimate that we are exactly destitute of fine stones, but that those found are mostly of inferior quality as compared with the output of the- old mines. In North Carolina a good many emeralds and rubies and sapphires are to be had, but they are of not sufficient value to warrant cut ting Some very fine pearls have been taken out of the shells picked up In the streams of Arkansas, and at one time the search for them down there amounted to a craze. Pearls, by the way, have gone up In price from 200 to 300 per cent, in recent years. "A great many semi-precious stones are mined in California, the turquoise found out there being especially Deau tiful, but lacking in hardness. Tour malines also come from California In abundance." PROSPERITY'S BAROMETER. ' Salesman Says the Common Paper Bag the Grocers Use Is Billable ( Trade Index, "The paper bag, the kind the gro cers use, you know, is the best barom eter for registering the rise and fall of general prosperity," said the city salesman the other morning. "I have been selling paper bags for 26 years, and can refer to my old order books and tell you just about how much money there was in genpral circulation at any time since I have been toting that old paper case about the city. "In 26 years I have closely watched the sales, and I want to say that I am Felling bigger bags to grocers now than ever before. Along about. 18') 1. and for three or four years afterward one pound and two pound hairs were the most used. I now sll ten times as many eieht pound bags as I did even en or seven years ago. "You see, it stands to reason that when people have little money they will buy their groceries in small amounts. When there is plenty of money people buy more at a time. Of course, when the larger paper bags are sold it means that I won't sell so many of them, for people don't trot to the groceries so often." Convict's Discovery.

"To prove the truth of my statement," he continued, baring his breast, "look at this, and see whether it would not be easy to establish my identity." The young fellow having stripped to the waist, it was found that his body was entirely tattooed with historical scenes, which included the murder of ; 1 Vic de Guise and the death of Pres- luent Carnot. The man's life story was as remark able as the rest. Son of the wife of a superior officer in the French army, and born out of wedlock at Marseilles, he was placed by his mother with a woman in that town, who received 60 francs a month for some years for his keep. Afterward he served on several coasting vessels as cook's boy, where he met a former student of the Beaux Arts school, who was also in difficul ties, and who tattooed his body in a most artistic manner. 1 a J nerson to cast her vote, bhe pteaaec that it was not any more difficult to pAst. a hallot than to instruct some man how to do it, while the only way to be sure that the right ballot was used was on account of May's bad habits.

Tbere Are Many Demands for Imbi of Foaae Stamp to Harmonise with Black Border. Serving dinner In courses is com paratively a modern fashion, first in troduced in diplomatic circles in Washington, D. C, and imitated from France. Up to the date of President Polk's administration the course din ner among Americans had made no further progress than that of serv ing fish and soup separately. Soup was considered such a foreign frip pery that a note written by Gen. Winfield Scott, in which he explained that he was "just sitting down to a hasty plate of soup," covered him with such ridicule as to materially contribute to his defeat as a candi date for the presidency, says Lippin eott's. Soup in the early days of the republic was considered iia food for invalids or poor people only; later, when the social splendors of the court of Empress Eugenie attracted rich Americans in flocks to Paris, French table manners and custom pushed the old English dinner fash ions to the waII. It is doubtful, how ever, if soup ever found a place on the dinner table of the wealthy Maryland or Virginia planter, unless green turtle, which was really a stew, might be so called. erowine sentiment in favor of im- :n0 rouch with the colored paper proved conditions for women.

The post office department is con stantly in receipt of requests for the issue of a mourning stamp for use on black-edged stationery. Persons in all grades of life assert that there is no harmony or appropriateness in an en velope with a black edge, and a red stamp in the corner, and they beg the department to issue a black stamp, saya the Washington Post. The department has given much con sideration to the subject, but has been unable to comply with the requests on account of the rules of the Universal Postal union, which prescribes that our lowest value stamp shall be green; that the stamp used for domestic use shall be red, and the stamp carrying foreign mail rive cents shall be blue. In view of these restrictions it has not appeared possible to meet the requirements for a mourning stamp, as the department does not deem it advisable to print a stamp in red and also In black. However, the suggestion has been made that the three-cent stamp, now printed in purple, might be issued in black, so that a person desiring to use a black stamp upon his mourning en velope might do so by paying the addi tional cent. The department may take up this suggestion later and act upon it REINDEER AND PRAIRIE DOG. One I Increasing; and the Other Dl nitntahlng In Jlambtri at a Ilapld Bate. LUNACY ON THE INCREASE.
