THE TRAVELING HOG.
AN
KNEW HIM WELL.
How It Behaves Itself When Sharing Its
Bed with a Fellow-Traveler.
The hotel register lay hospitably
open, and I took up a stuttering pen
with which to splatter my autograph
over the list of late arrivuls.
“I’m afraid we’re full," interrupted
the night clerk; “that Is if you want a
room to yourself—you can huve a bed
In either 27 or 52.”
My jaw fell—11!—11!
“What kind of fellows are they," I
Inquired, feebly.
“Nice gentlemon—tall, slim man in
27; short, fleshy man in 52.”
“Tall, sliin man,” I mused; “I’ll try
in No. 27.”
I’m rather long and slonder myself,
still there's nothing like economy in
spaco when it comes to a hotel bed
stead.
I followed the bell-boy up to No. 27,
and In response to his rat-tat-tat at tho
door, I heard emphatic guttural Inter
jections muffled under the bed-clothes.
I didn’t try to understand them; I had
reason to believe they were not at all
complimentary to me. However, the
tall man opened the door, gingerly,
and got back into bod, where he
assumed the shape of a gigantic let
ter V.
He was snoring loudly by the time I
had undressed, and I cherished serious
intentions of blowing out the gas and
leaving him to his fate. I crawled
timidly In on tho off side, and grasped
the covers with a death grip. But I
was tired, and soon, with a half-con
scious sense of insecurity, I felt my
grasp weaken, and I dozed off into a
gentle slumber.
A movement on the part of my bed
fellow awoke mo, and horrors! The
covers were slipping away! Is there
any thing to compare to the utter help
lessness with which a man, on a cold
night, realizes this awful sensation?
I caught at them, frantically, and my
eyes bulged out in a mad despair as a
Borean draught wailed along the ser
rated edge of my spinal column. ThuB
I lay, for hours, in a half torpid state,
keenly alive to his every move, yot
unable to retrieve an inch of vantago.
The clock on tho customs-houso struck
twelve, and 1 was sinking into a chilly
nightmare, when the fiend rolled over
against me with a restful sigh born of
warmth and comfort.
I couldn’t stand it. T slipped out
onto tiie floor, crept round to the foot
of the bod, and crawlod in on the side
next the wall. Wrapping myself in
the voluminous folds of tho blankets, I
lay down, sincerely hoping he’d roll
on into tho next county.
But ho didn't. I hadn’t boon asleep
more than an hour, when I awoke with
a sense of oppression in m,y left side,
and a sharp elbow, at an ucuto angle,
lay imbedded in my complaining ribs.
I shoved it away savagely, and ho
floundered over llko a porpoise in
shoal water, Juicing the covers with
him.
At that moment I heard the bell-boy,
with a bell-boy’s exaggerated attempt
at caution, blunder past tho door and
rap at No. 28.
“It’s four o’clock, sir; bus’ll bo round
in forty minutes.”
I got up, too, lighted the gas and
glared at my persecutor. Ho was lying
west by nor’west of tho bed, smiling as
if ho dreamed nature had mado him in
a circle. And he continued to smile,
all unconsciously, as I washed in a
lavish quantity of wator and poured
tho remainder into the slop basin! And
I think I had tho towel us limp and
wet as any towol ever need bo outside
tho wash-tub! And when I left the
room the gas-meter was humping it
self. the door was wide open, and I'm
pretty certain that somebody else than
No. 28 got to see how a hog slept!—

DRYING
OF
MOSSES.
Species That Awakened to Renewed Life
After Ninety-Five Weeks.
/
The power of the mosses to endure
repoatod desiccation has recently boon
experimentally treated by G. Schroder,
who obtained tho interesting result
that many of tlieso plants can not only
resist months of dryness without any
harm, but also that they do not perish
evon under tho strongest desiccation
carried on in a drier with tho aid of
■ulphuHe acid.
Plants of llarbula
niuralis, which wore exposed for eight
een months in the drier, after a few
wettings resumed growth in all their
parts. Other specios of llarbula be-
haved similarly. A curlous experi-
meat was performed witli (Irinunia
pulvinatu, in which a stock which
had been cultivated for some
time in a
moist
atmo«ph»re
under a bell glass was suddenly ex
posed to a warm and perfectly dry cur
rent of trir. it boeamo so dry in a abort
time that it could bo pulvorizod. Than
it lay in a drier for ninety-live weeks.
But the quickening moisture was ».till
competent to awake it to renewed life.
Tho most rapid drying which could lie
performed in the laboratory could not
destroy the plant. It even showed
greater power of resistance than wculd
correspond with its real necessities,
for so speedy and complete a drying
out as was effected in the experiments
never occur* in Nature. The fact that
a property acquired by adaptation is
so plainly manifested in excess is some
times otherwise demonstrable, and is a
hard problem for tho theory of selec
tion.— l\>pular Hcienc« Monthly.

—A recent issue of the Los Angelo.
Tribune says: “Mr. Cawston, of the
Norwalk Ostrich Farm, sold yesterday
eighteen ostrich chicks, hatched from
one trio of birds, for * 135. This sale
gives Mr. Cawston a return of over
♦1,(M)O from this trio of birds inside of
a year. The breeders were imported
eighteen months ago. The cost of the
birds is nominal, as the birds grazo
over three acres of alfalfa.”

body to whom I make that statement
Is surprised, for people believe that in
case of the foot as well as the hands
the right is the larger. Observation
has convinced me, however, that while
the right hand is larger than the left,

UNIVERSITY.
HMorteal Facts Con", ruing Pennsylvania*»
Almont Against Ills Will.
A
OLD
Principal Seat of Learning.
The University of Pennsylvania bean
the distinction of being the only Amn-
iea educational institution that was
ever stolen. A unique distinction, in
deed. it happened rather oddly, in
lliis way: The English nobility, hav
ing contributed most of the funds
upon which the school was founded,
naked King George III t > see to it that
tiie institution in the new country did
not fall into the hands of any religious
sect. The King complied and sent
over word that, if any more money was
expected from England, a guaranty
must bo given that Dissenters, Quakers,
nor anybody else, should ever exclude
from it Church of England communi
cants, but that the school should
the
general
fore.er
be
for
good of all classes. The resolution
was passed and Franklin saw it safely
entered upon the records. Neverthe
less, a few years later the Legislature
of Pennsylvania, taking this resolution
its a text, declared that the purposes of
the institution had been narrowed, and
in order that such a tiling should Dot
occur again, they confiscated all the
titles and endowment funds given by
England. They named tiie school the
University of Pennsylvania. In this
way was tho institution stolen and put
into its present governmental condi
tion. Its important dates, therefore,
are: Founded by Franklin in 1748;
stolen by tho Legislature of Pennsyl
vania in 1779; restored and set up in
present shape in 1791.
In internal structure tho University
of Pennsylvani i is nearer like the Eng
lish univei sities than any othor in this
country. It more nearly embodies the
university idea as represented by such
schools as Oxford, Cambridge, Berlin
and Strasburg. Its most famous de
partment is the medical, whicli is the
oldest college of medicine in America.
Connected closely with it is the Biolog
ical School, which is olio of the newest
departments, yet about the first school
in this line to be founded on this side
of the Atlantic. It is a school for th<
study of botli plant and animal life in
every form and is intended to supple
ment the studios of the medical man,
the scientist and the naturalist. Then
there is the Veterinary College, which
is fast revolutionizing the study of the
horse and his medical treatment; the
School in Dentistry, and the Wharton
School of Finance and Economy, in
which is the first and only chair in
American history in this country. In
all of the departments are about four
teen hundred pupils.
The social side of university life is
almost wholly confined to the time
spent inside the college walls. This is
quite unlike most other Eastern col
leges, and is so chiefly because there
arc no dormitories connected with the
institution. The pupoS lose themselves
from each other in the city, and arc
only able to meet the grand ball on
“Ivy Day,” and the junior ball and nt
the one eoncort given every spring by
the University Glee Club. There are
a few secret fraternities, but they are
not strong, nor do they seem to enter
into the existence of the student as
they do in most other colleges.— Phila
delphia Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.
KITCHENS IN THE AIR.
Restaurant« on the Top Floors of Tall
Structures in Cities.
In order to economize space, and get
tho greatest returns from the ground
occupied, there have been erected
down town in New York a number of
very tall structures. In these immense
buildings rooms are set apart in the
upper stories for restaurants. The
cooking is all done in a kitchen situated
on the very top story, and the cook
instead of being immured in an under
ground basement, can look out of tiie
window upon tiie roofs of the houses of
the greater part of the city. It is be
lieved that iu all the tall houses where
families live, it would be found bet er
to have the cooking on top of tho build
ing rather than down below, so as to
get rid of the odors which usually come
when food is being prepared in the
kitchen. In the Union League Club of
New York the cooking is done on tiie
top story for this reason. In all the
leading commercial anil banking
houses of New York lunch is served at
midday in a room set apart for the
purpose, and the book-keepers, clerks
and other employes are not expected
to leave the building for their meals.
This
practice
dates
from
a
very
sensible
observation
of
Lady
Burdett
Coutts,
now
Mr-. Bartlett She is the richest wo-
man in the world, and the owner of a
great private bank. She noticed that
when the clerks left for their uihldny
lunch, that some of them spent more
time out-doors than was necessary,
while others came back evidently undel
the influence of liquor. So she induced
her busint ss agents to provide a lunch
in the bank building. The experiment
proved so satisfactory that the Bank of
England made the same provision, and
since then th» practice lias been adopt
ed in most of tin large banking and1
mercantile houses of the world. Of
course, it is not so much for the good
habits of their clerks and employes
that the managers of these institutions
care, but for the more interested rea
son that they get more work out of
them, and ar aid possible errors, due to
the indulgence of their dorks and
bookkeepers in strong drink«. But the
practice is a good one, for eating devel
ops good fellowship the world over,
and directors. cashiers, clerks and of
fice boy« meet on an equality at the
lunch table. — Christian al Work.
