WHlsKEY AND SMOKING PALACE CARS.
"A correspondent of the Christian Intel
Ligencer makes the pertinent inquiry,
"Why is that admirable institution, the
drawing room Car, so rapidly degenerat-
ing into n portable bar room?" 1t is af-
firmed that "the compartments are more
and more given up to drinking parties,
and even to smokers, who seem not to
realize that the fumes of their revelry
can steal over the walls of their saloons
and stalls" The correspondent mentions
also n recent instance of young man
carried out of one of these compartments
into the baggage Car by his boon compan-
ions and the brakeman, in state of utter
helpless drunkenness. 1t is quite time
that an earnest protest should be made
by the temperance and non smoking pub
lie against the present management of
the drawing room car companies in toler-
ating or encouraging smoking and drink
ing in their cars. Ladies unattended, or
travelling with children, invalids, and
others, take these cars at an extra price
with view to increased comfort and Sc
curity against annoyance. Unless the
present smoking nuisance can be abated.
and the drinking custom can be abolished,
the drawing room cars must needs ulti-
mately be abandoned to the exclusive use
of smokers, drinkers, and the dissipated,
or abolished altogether.

CHILDREN's RIGHTS. Every child has
right to the best food, the most comfort
able clothing, and the best home that his
parents can afford him. When he is old
enough he has right to such enjoyments
and amusements as will keep him from
idleness and vice. The child has right
to the companionship of the pure and inno-
cent of his own age, but above all to that
of his father and mother. The childs
right of property should be respected.
Let him feel that whatever he has is his
very own; not in name only, and that
father, mother, sister or brother cannot
take possession of it when so disposed.
BY respecting his rights in this matter, he
will learn to respect the rights of others.
When a child is old enough to enter school
he has right to a pleasant school room.
to comfortable seat, to good ventilation.
and to such attention from the teacher as
shall prevent his stay in school from being
II physical calamity. The child has a
right to such mental training as shall tend
to the development of all his faculties
If one is cultivated to the exclusion of the
other, he is defraudod of his right to the
full use of all his powers. The child has
a right to be taught how to think; how to
find out for himself ways of doing things
How little originality We find among
school children! Half the time they study
and recite their lessons without giving 4
thought to their meaning. Their essays
are sketches taken from some history, OF
extracts from the cyclopedia. The child
has a right to its own individuality.

WETTING TIE ROPES.-When the i'm
mense obelisk, which stands in the Square
of St. Peters at Rome, was to be erected
it was found that its elevation required
the most powerful machinery and the
highest skill in engineering. Thousands
assembled to witness the achievement
and in order to prevent any interference
with the work, the pope issued a special
bull, inflicting heavy penalty upon any
one who should speak before the engineer
announced that the great work was ac
complished and all danger was over
Slowly the massive column rose, as round
and round the wndasses were whirled.
The crowd pressed on, gazing with silen
admiration. 1t is near to its place-a few
feet more-now few inches only, and il

sailor, watching the scene, and in his ex
element, forgetting the dreadful bull
shouts aloud, "Wet the ropes" Tha
lawless order is instantly obeyed. Water
was dashed upon the cables. At one,
they became strong and taut again, ant
soon the column, which threatened t.
crush the crowd below, was firmly fasten

the sailor was pardoned and rewarded
instead of being punished.

WORTH STOPPING A TRAIN FoR.-Sat-
urdav at P. NJ, as the express train on
the Erie road was coming from Red House
to Salamanca, the engineer whistled
down brakes, the train came to stand
still and the passengers all rushed out to
learn the cause of the detention, expecting
to see a mangled corpse or some breakage
in the machinery which would compel
them to walk to Bradford. When they
reached the platform of the cars forlorn-
looking individual in straw hat the size
of an umbrella loomed up to them. He
was dressed in suit of nankeen which
was soaking wet and clipging tightly to
his form, giving him the appearance of q
denizen Of the deep. In one hand he
carried fish pole, in the other basket,
which contained seventy five trout. The
conductor came out, and, in a pleasant
voice, casually remarked, "What in -
did you stop my train for. you moon-faced
old hippodromeP" Why, you see, con-
ductor," drawled out the individual, in
the funniest back-woods tones imaginable,
I've got whopper here, and | thought
as how some'er yer passengers would like
to gaze onto it." Saying this. the old
man drew out by the tail monster of
trout that must have weighed at least two
pounds, and held it admiringly up by the
tail. The suns rays flashed out from the
beautiful colors of crimson and gold
which dotted the coat of the fish, and
whether the sight was SO tempting to the
palates of the hungry passengers or
whether the ludicrousness of the affair
struck them Just then. they burst into
roars of laughter, and even the conductor
forgot for moment the bell-punch sys-
tenn, and all was serenity again. The
venerable Walton boarded the cars for
Salamanca, and soon the train was thun-
dering out the miles to make up for lost
time.-Bradford (R1.) Era.

/ wish to state what five cents worth oil
molasses has done for me in clearing the
house of cockroaches. take any queens
ware bowl or vessel with vertical smooth
sides, not less than two inches in hight
and, placing it in such spots as the reaches
run, put in it about a tablespoonful of mo-
lasses. Then | lean six or seven small
pieces of boards or sticks, eight or ten
inches long, against the upper edge of the
vessel, making Il bridge, as it were, from
the floor to the top of the bowl. The
reaches, attracted by the smell of the mo-
lasses, run up these sticks and tumble
down into the molasses, and, being unable
to climb the smooth sides of the bowl, are
safely ensconced for dose of boiling hot
water next morning. A nightly repetition
of this trapping process for ten days or
two weeks will effect complete radiance
of these abominable nuisances. l have
cleared two different houses of them by
this means, and unhesitatingly recommend
it as "sure cure to all who have suffi-
cient patience and perseverance to enable
them to set the trap as directed. Two
weeks trapping is too long for the
average servant. and the mistress will be
obliged if she wants to catch all the "var-
mints," to see to the trapping process
herself.

dence its kitchen, after dark, would be

nights, would have hundreds of them in
it next morning. But inside of fortnight

more, judging from former experience
years will elapse before the house will

TIE OLD KHEDIvE's INTERCHANGEABLE
1888 the colonel of one of Mohammed
Ais regiments in Mecca had rendered
himself odous to the soldiers, and while
on parade, firing with blank cartridges,
the officer was shot. No notice was taken
of at the time, and it was thought that
the thing was all forgotten. Two years
aftorward, in the regular course of ex-
changes, the battalion returned to Cairo,
marched into the citadel, and piled arms.
A ourt-martial was Immediately called,
and the battalion found guilty of murder.
As the individual could not be discovered,
the battalion was decimated and one hun
dred and thirty-four were marched outside
the gate in separate squads, and shot by
their own comrades. My informant hap
pened to be riding outside the walls, and,

TIE STORY OF A PRISON REVOLT
More than fifty years ago revolt at the
Charlestown (Mass.) prison assumed such
proportions that squad of marines from
the navy yard had to be called in to quell
it. Major Wainwright, the commanding
officer, marched his men into the dining
room, in one end of which the convcts
had gathered with knives, files and other
weapons such as they could reach. They
swore they would rather die than surren-
der The major ordered his men to load

A NERVOUS PEoPLE.-EXcelent medi-
cal authority asserts that the constant
strain of business. added to the dryness oil
our climate, has so changed the constitu-
ton that it is impossible for us to do what
our fathers did before us safely. 1--WE
are" says DR.. Beard, ten degrees more
sensitive to heat and cold than they we're, y
as the cases of sunstroke and heat pros.
tration bear evidence. There is an i'm.
mense increase in neuralgia, sick head
ache, hay fever, nervous exhaustion and
especially dyspepsia, in itself the potent
source of a host of physical and mental
irritants and distresses. Now with such
systems as we have, high strung, nervous
and irritable, the use of stimulants cannot
be otherwise than injurious. 1t is impos
sible to use them as they were used in the
days gone by. There is hardly man Of
middle age who does not remember thai
hospitality and sideboard of wines anC
liquors were synonymous terms. Boil
men and women drank freely, and profes
sional men and the clergy indulged in the
same habit. 1t would be folly to say thai
what was Il virtue then is vice now, bu
it can be safely asserted that people die
indulge then without the same injurious
effects that follow the practice now. The
predominant nervousness of the present
time had not been developed.
Our ancestors could drink freely, smoke
extravagantly, indulge to excess in tea
and coffee, and yet live to serene ole
age; now it is simply impossible. True
the traffic in ardent spirits has enormously
increased, but so has the population; true
people yet drink to excess, but they do no
do it with impunity. Circumstances have
altered cases, and two-thirds of the presen
terrible effects flowing from intemperanct
are due to the changed conditions of tht
human race, ,and especially in this country
where people are strung up to tension
that will no more allow free use O
strong drinks than barn filled with straw
will permit the Introduction of fire.

Women are shy, as men are, of going

duty to be eager to vote, no doubt; but
there is an eagerness of courtesy, not so
much of men toward women as of old and
experienced voters toward new and mex
perienced ones. l notice that if an igno-
rant person wishes to send a telegram or
to obtain money order. the bystanders
are unusually kind and helpful, and do. not
regard him as fool because he has to

1t often happens, in life, that a word or
an action is forced into a wholly unlocked
for prominence. Who has not been startled
or abashed, in large company. to find his
last utterance brought into clear relief by
one of those sudden lulls in conversation
which so often occur when many people
are talking? If it was foolish or untrue
remark, its folly and untruthfulness are
sadly exaggerated by the unforeseen and
distorted position which they are COM
PEELED to occupy. In other ways of life,
an accident may force upon the attention
OF large public some episode in our
careers which we would most of all desire
to keep in the background. We greatly
prefer to be prepared for emergencies,
but they are far more likely to surprise
us. The remark we are making when we
suddenly discover that we are overheard;
the occupation in which we are engaged
when caller surprises US; the temper we
are displaying when some great occur
renee in our lives, whether mournful or
benign, comes swiftly upon us.-all these
tests may shake our integrity or shame
our selflove, even when they do not quite
cast us down, Death itself comes unher-
aided to half of mankind. What shall
we be doing or saying or thinking at that
supreme moment? There is only one REM
edy for these strange surprises in life, with
all their distorted perspective and their
cruel severity of condemnation. That
remedy is, in the words of the old prayer,
" alDays to live in such state that we
may never be afraid to die." This rule
applies to living as we'll as it does to dying.
If we constantly try to do right, the col
lapse of the universe need not frighten us.
