A LUXURIOUS CONVEYANCE The trav-
cling train of the Empress of Russia is,
perhaps, the most complete aud luxurious
in the world, and is, indeed, house upon
wheels. 1t consists of eight saloon car
-iages and Offices, connected by covered
passages. and is divided into dining and
drawing rooms, bedrooms and kitchens.
The dining room has large oval windows
which give uninterrupted views over the
country through which the train passes
the drawing room is an elegant apart
ment. prcttily furnished, and the bed
rooms might be those Of a comfortable
house. The beds are, seemingly, of the
ordinary kind, but are in reality ham
mocks, which enable their occupants to
sleep without sustaining any annoyance
from the vibration Of the train. Ot course
such an establishment would not be CON
pete without servants, and to the traiI
are attached domestics of all kinds, from
buffers to engine drivers and porters. II

A CONDUCTOR TO BE TRUSTED One
day, before Cornelius Vanderbilt obtained
possession Of the Hudson River Railway,
he was travelling, it is said, from New
York to Albany and considering him.

baggage car to smoke He had been en-
joying his cigar but two or three minutes
when the conductor came along and in
formed him politely that he must not
smoke there. Vanderbilt said that it
wouldn't make any difference-that it
was all right, &c. but the conductor
was of different opinion-declaring that
it was contrary to the rules Of the road.

FLIGHT OF A CARRIER. PIGEON. - A
large throng Of spectators gathered in
New York, recently, to witness what, in
that city, is yet novel sight-the flight
OF carrier-pigeon. The bird which anus
ed aud edited so large a number of per-
sons was the rather famous " Ariel" a
native Of Belgium and descendant from
the best breed Of Antwerp carriers. He
has won several prizes in flying matches,
once having earned $4,000 for his owner
by beating 800 contestants in match
flight from London to Brussels. He was
purchased in 1870 by o. S. Hubbell, 6
Philadelphia naturalist, and placed OF
the new owners farm at River Cliff
Coma Unusual interest is taken in thil
bird, owing 20 the fact that he is to bt
the leader of the brood of carrier pigeons
which Professor Wise proposes to taxi
with him on his contemplated balloon
voyage across the Atlantic.
A few minutes after three O'Clock thu
pigeon was taken out from the cage il
which he had been confined for severa
days. The gentleman who was to Il.
him stroked his sleek plumage caressingl
a few moments, while the bird moved it
head from side to side as If conscious tha
it was to be set loose. The keeper, VIII
was standing in window of the uppe
story of the large building, then gave tn
bird toss up in the air, and Ariel
was off His long, slender, slate-colore
wings were spread, and he immediatel
, shot away over the housetops on the eas
side of Union square. After flying
few hundred yards he turned and scare
away in the direction Of Long Islam
Sound. The bird is now resting at i
home at River Cliff, near Stratford, Com

Evening Hymn.
The little birds now seek their rest.
The baby sleeps on mothers breast;
Thou givest all thy children rest,
God of the weary.
The sailor prayetn on the sea;
The little ones at mothers knee;
Now comes the penitent to thee,
God of tho weary.
The orphan puts away his fears;
The troubled hopes for happier years;
Thou driest all the mourner's tears,
God of the weary.
Thou sendest rest to tired feet.
To little toilers slumbers sweet,
To aching hearts repose complete,
God of the weary.
In grief, perplexity or pain,
None ever come to thee in vain
Thou makest life a joy again,
God of the weary.
We sleep that we may wake renewed,
To serve thes as thy children should,
With love, and zeal, and gratitude,
God of the weary.

HUMBoLDT's MoNEy.-It is well known
that Alexander Won Humboldt died in 4
state bordering on poverty. His fuan-
cial embarrassments were caused by his
loss, in 1913, of the sum of nine or ten
thousand dollars in gold, which the King
of Prussia had presented to him. At the
time it was believed that the money had
been stolen from the great savant, but the
police were unable to find any clue to its
disappearance. Strange to say, a short
time since the gentleman now living in
the house formerly occupied by Hum
boldt. found the money in small box a.
mong some old rubbish in the cellar. How
it got there puzzles Humboldts intimate
acquaintances exceedingly.

Hast thou song, o singer of mine,
A little song to cheer the heart;

Pressed in vineyard far apart'
One that was caught in flying by
A little song to cheer the heart;
Like the voice of bird on branches high,
Deep in forest far apart.
One that has come like morning air
A little song to cheer the heart;
Like the breath of a kiss on the brow OF care,
