why He Came to Texas.

A good many years ago, when
Austin was very small town, quite
"a number Of prominent citizens went
out on n hunting expedition.
One night when they were all gath
cred around the camp FIRE, one Of
the party suggested that each man
should give the time and reason for
his leaving bis native State and com
ing to Texas, whereupon each one i'll
turn told hiS experience.
Judge Blank had killed man 10
self-delense in Arkansaw. Gen
Soandso had forged another man +
signature to a check, while another
came to Texas Oh account of having
two wives. The only one who did
not make any disclosure was sane
timonious-looking old man who, nj
though professional gambler, was
usually called "Parson."
Swell, Parson, why did you leave
kentncky?'
81 don't care to say anything about
it. Besides, it was only u tribe.
None of you would believe me any
how"
"Out with it. Did you shoot any
body?"
"No, gentlemen, l did not Since
you want to kow SO bad, Ill tell you
left Kentucky because didn't build
a church.
Deep silence fell 90 the group. No
such excuse for coming to Texas ever
had been heard of before. There
was an unexplained mystery at the
bottom of it. The "f'arson" was
called on to furnish more light.
"Well gentlemen, you see a Meth
odist congregation raised $4,000 and
turned it over To me to build church
and / didn't build the church.
That's ALL Texas Siftings.

Fast Time to Europe.

People who love European travel but
ness anu osacean voyage, with its seasick-
tied to learn that & Ssnces, will be grati-
gurated which when completed VIII s1IiaauA
the sea voyage from heIe to Liverpool
n9arly one-hHf and reduce the time about
one-thlrd. The plan seems 10 be entirely
feasible and does not involve, as one might
at first suppose, some cheap Yankee meth-
od OF COMPRISING the Atlantic Ocean into
nail Its present compass, but simply pro-
poses to utilize the whole amouet of prac-
Iicable land transportation, leaving 10 be
com0aOssd by the steamship voyage only
the distance from the eastern point of New
toundland to Galway, Ireland, which Is
about l, $40 miles.
A company has lately been organized
called the Great American and European
Short Line Railroad Company. 1t propo-
ses to utilize routes already In existence
from New York and Boston to Oxford
Nova Scotia. A new line seventy miles
IN length is already under contract to COM
plete the connection to the Strait of Canso
wnlch is to be bridged, and one hundred
and twenty miles of new road built from
there to Cape North, the eastern extremity
of Cape Breton Island. A steam ferry is
to be u link In the chain across the Straits
or st. Lawrence, a distance of fifty-six
miles 10 the west coast of Newfoundland,
from which point railroad 500 miles in
length across Newfoundland will complete
the route. On the European side the rail
and terry connections from Galway to
Liverpool are already COZ Iplete. Tnere is
very little doubt but this enterprise Is des-
tined to prove q success, as the company
Is amply able to carry out its designs and
has already procured the necessary char
ters and has part Of the line under con-
tract, When it is completed they propose
to run daily line of steamers each wav,
so that persous desiring to 60 to or come
from Europe ca q start on any given day
and will not need to be delayed for the
sailing of a first-class vessel, as Is often
the case at present. The company expect
to have the road completed In less than 5
years.
The advantage Of this route are two fold
the lessening Of the tune requiIed tor
the trip aud its consequent discomforts,
and the avoidance of the dangers of the
coast from New York to Newfoundland
during the stormy seasons. When this
route Is completed considerable more
than one-tHird or the present distance to
Europe may be compassed in palace Car
and the ocean trip reduced to iour days
or less A trip to Europe will then be
hardly more than a journey to- Omaha oil

A Corner Ornament.

A pretty ornament for the corner of q
room is made of three ebony shelves, or
three shelves that have the appearance
of being ebony, because of little ebony
railing at the back of each shelf. 10
each OF these shelves narrow lambre-
quin is attached. A handsome set of
these shelves has lambrequin, five
inches deep, of drab satin on this is
painted spray of vlolets, with leaves
and stems the bottom is fringed ont
for an inch, the lambrequln is tackled to
the shelf, and the tacks are concealed
by velvet ribbon, on which is worked
a Grecian pattern in shaded yellow silk.
A dot is worked in the centre of each
square. The next shelf has a lambre-
quin of old gold satin, on this is painted
o spray of scarlet and white flowers
with delicate foliage. The edge is
frlnged, and the top finished with rib
bon but instead of the Grecian pattern
use other fancy stitches. On the bot
tom shelf put a cardinal satin lambre-
gum of the same depth and style and
finished in the same way as the others
DAISIES and grasses are pretty for the
painting. Velvet may be substituted
for the satin. and silk embroidery for
painting. If velvet is used, a tiny gilt
cord, or braid, should be used for 6
heading; it must be broad enough tc
cover the tack. The shelves, unless
they are ebonized wood, should be GOV

Deepsea Sounding.

1t is clalEed that, for ordinary purposes
OF navigation while ship IS at full speed,
Sir William Thompson's new apparatus
for deepsea sounding has proved its pecu-
liar superiority. In its construction glass
tube filed with air is hernetlcally sealed
at the top, but open at the bottom, and
prepared with red prussiate of potash, 1t
is placed IN brass tube, closed at the bot.
tom, but allowed the free ingress and
pressure of water from above. The brass
lube is partially illed with sulphate
of iron, and wherever this comes into con-
tact with the interior of the glass tube 1t
turns into Prussian blue. The pressure
of the water congresses the air, forcing
the sulphate of iron up the glass tube &C
cording to the depth to which 1t descends.
The glass tube, part of which retains Its
od9lnal color, Is then measured on a sea e,
and thus the depth of the sounding is In
d ased
