Railway Restaurants.

Not long since, in travelling from
Basel to Paris, we became hungry. As
if divining our condition, the guard
put his head in Mt the window of the
train and politely asked, "Shall order
dinner for you at the next station ?"
"But We do not stop long enough to eat
it." was our reply. "True; it will be
served in the train for three francs, and
the dishes removed at the next stop
ping place" "By all means order il" "
The telegraph carried the order ten
miles ahead in moment; and when the
train drew up at the next station, the
door was opened, and circular basket,
three feet high and one foot i'll dame
ter, was put in our compartment. Upon
the top were knife and fork. spoon and
napkin; n bottle Of water, and flask OF
wine, and glass; little salt and pep
per and large roll. Opening door
in the side of the basket, We saw four
shelves, on each shelf dish. The first
was n hot soup, the second a slice OF
q IN mOdC beef, the third vegetables,
and the fourth half chicken and salad.

found on one of the shelves.
We ate our dinner quietly and com
fortably, while the train rushed along
at thirty miles an hour, and then re-
stored the dishes to their places. When
the next stoppage was made, porter
removed the basket and received the
pay. We reached Paris after q twelve
hours ride, weary and hungry, but
neither faint with exhaustion, nor suf
! fering from a fit of Indigestion.
Recently it became necessary for Ms
to make q shorter journey in this coun
try. About midway the train stopped
and the conductor shouted "Ten min,
utes for refreshments" The passengers
rushed forth and crowded into the close
dirty, uninviting room, where at long
high counter, four wonderfully capari
soned females dispensed poor coffee
worse piecrust, and oysters stewed ir
water favored with bad butter. Nc
bread, no m sat but ham, no drink but
bad coffee and ssur ale. Before even
these uninviting edibles couldbs swal
lowed, the shrill screech of the locomo;
/ tive hurried the passengers away to the
horrors of dyspepsia and headache.

A Rocking Stone.

In many parts OF the world are found
huge stones or rocks so poised on mar
row base that they rock to and fro un-
der slight moving force. Sometimes
the rc.1iaipg or 'logging" is CAUSED by
the wind only, without direct human
contact, but generally muscular or me-
chanical force has to be applied. One
of the most familiar examples is the
Logan or Logging Rock, in Cornwall,
near the promontory of Castle Treryn.
This stone, which attracts numerous
visitors, is laetween sixty and seventy
tons weight, and so nicely poised that
person can easily set it i'll motion.
DR.. Borlase, the Cornish antiquary, full
ly described the rock, adding that it was
"morally impossible that any lever, OF
indeed force, however applied in a me-
chanical way, could remove it." This
statement was put to the test by young
officer of the navy, Lieutenant Gold
smith, said to be a grand-nephew Of
Oliver Goldsmith. He was in command
of cutter in the neighborhood, and
with ten or twelve of his men threw the
rock off it's balance and sent it rolling
toward the sea, where it would have
been lost but that chasm intercepted
it. The exploit Justly gave great Of
fence to the neighborhood, and the mis-
chievous prank being reported to the
Admiralty, the young officer was COM
PEELED to replace the rock. This was
not done without much labor and exer-
ton, and the aid of machinery from the
dockyard at Plymouth. Sir Davis Gil.
bert and others subscribed for the fund
necessary to restore the rock to its site
and the lieutenant to the good books at
headquarters. For some time after
ward chains and other projections were
used, but these have been long since
removed. The stone, however, does not
"log" so well rs it did previous to its
n1,artbrow

An Eyentfnl Life.

Edward George Bulwer Lytton, whose
death was lately announced, was born
at Hayden Hall in the County of Nor
folk, England, in 1905, and was conse-
qnently in his i1ty-eighth year at the
time of his death. He graduated at
Cambridge University in 1926, and in
the same year published collection of
his useful illusions, entitled weeds
and Wild Flowers"
His first novel, Falkland, was pub
ished in 1927, followed in 1928 by
Pelham; or, the Adventures of q Gen
tleman," a work which was received
with considerable adverse criticism, but
which has since been regarded by many
as one of the best of the deceased au-
thor's efforts. His subsequent novels
are we'll known, and need not be emu
merated. Many of them were received
with favor, and attained to high rank
in the estimation of the reading public.
As dramatic writer he enjoyed q good
reputation, and his plays to this day
hold their own on the British and
American stage. Of these "The Lady
of Lyons" is best known, but "Riche-
lieu" and the comedy of Money" are
very frequently presented. No writer
in his day has perhaps been more read
on the continent of Europe than Bull
wer, his various works having been
translated in all the living languages;
while in America he had and still has a
wide circle of appreciative readers. Mr..
Bulwer succeeded in 1874 to the Knebs-
worth estates of his mother, and ex-
changed, byroyal license, his sirname
of Bulwer for that OF Lytton, by which
he was subsequently known. He enter
ed Parliament in 1881 as member for
st. Ives, and was created O baronet in
1858. In June, 1858, he became men,
ber of the Derby Cabinet. as successor
of Lord Stanley in the Office of Secreta-
ry OF State for the colonies. He was
shortly afterward elevated to the peer
age, and took his seat in the House of
Lords.
The later years Of his life have not
been marked by any brilliant efforts,
but he has always been q distinguished
statesman and debater. 1t is as q nov
elist, however, that he will be chiefly
remembered, and his name will, un-
doubtedly, go down to posterity as one
of the most famous writer's which the
nineteenth century hos produced.

CRIMINALS Let Loose.

The Strait Times, of Manila, has the
following: In the morning Of the 18th
of September repeated discharges of
musketry were heard from the convict
prison. Soon afterward it was ascer-
tanned that large number of prisoners
had risen, crying ont Death to Spain,
assassinated in villainous and coward
" manner the warder, and laid hold of
some of the weapons of company of
soldiers quartered there. The insur-
gents made themselves masters of the
fort, and kept up fire on some officials
and country people, who returned it,
and by so doing prevented them from
advancing toward the town. The towns
people armed themselves, and the men
of-war in the harbor made preparations
to lombard the fort. The rebels seeing
that many persons had come out against
them, left the fort-desisted from try
ing to make their way into the town,
which, it is said, they endeavored to
set fire to, and took refuge in man.
grove forest. They were followed up,
and three of them killed before they
reached the mangroves. On the fort
being reocupied by the loyal, it was
found that the convicts had murdered
four Europeans and wounded several
sthers. Several Europeans and some
soldiers fortified themselves in two
dormitories and defended themselves
bravely; when relieved, they We're all
found to be wounded, but not severely.
After the dead and wounded had been
taken to the hospital, chase was given
to the insurgents by soldiers and ma,
rinss from the ships of war, in the di.
rection of the village of Tehuan. The
former succeeded in entering the vii.
lage, because its inhabitants were ignor.
ant of what had taken place, but as
soon rs they became aware OF it, they
armed themselves and drove ont the
villains, who fled to the bush, leaving
twenty killed. OF the country people
three were killed, and from seven to
ten were wounded. On the 10th, 2j(
Zamboangans, armed with muskets

troops and country people, set out il
pursuit of the fugutives, and followed

great many, with scarcely any loss or
their own side. Up to the Sd of Octo
ber the people of the inland districts
including even the Mohamedan portion
continued to bring to Zamboanga the
heads OF the insurgents whom they hat
killed /; o:s er insurgents were brcs gh

people for their loyalty during the in
surrection, and their zeal in putting i

TIE SEA SERPENT AaAIN.-Captain
White, of the ship Sea Serpent, which
arrived at New York, reports that on
the outward passage from New York to
China, in latitude 20 deg. 3S min. Ssec.,
longitude II deg. As min., his attention
was called, on the 18th OF May, by the
seaman on the foretopsail, to q large
sea serpent passing within six feet of
the ships quarter. When the serpent
was some fifteen or twenty feet astern,
he lifted his head above the water,
opened his mouth, and looked around
after the ship with apparent surprise.
AS near as Capt. White could judge, the
serpent must have been fifty feet long
and two in diameter, and Of deep
brown color. About three minutes af.
terward another of the same species
was passed on the other side OF the ship
within about fifteen feet. he was coilsa
up, and had the appearance OF being

What a oOl.Tcarller Did.

A school.teacher at Judson, Blue
Earth County, Mimi, Hugh Jones, du-
ring the late snow storm in that section
refused to permit his scholars to leave
the school house, and kept them there
forty-eight hours, in safety and COM
fort-procuring food and d-clothing
from a neighbor. A local says this is
a cheering example of good judgment,
interest in the safety of the little ones
under his Charge, and courage to pro-
vide for their wants even at the risk of
suffering danger. There were from
thirty to forty children in the school
and the number affords an indication OF
how much Mr.. Jones had to do, to
clothe, feed, and warm them. One man
living near Judson left his horses in q
piece of woods, and saved himself by
remaining in straw stack twenty-four
hours. One horsa was frozen. A man
driving Il yoke of oxen from Lake Crys.
tai to Butternut Valley, found partial
safety in n stack, but the cattle were
frozen. The published statements ol
the many people frozen to death during
the storm would indicate that Minneso'
