Adult SLEEPNG-CARS,

There is some talk of disregarding the
Pullman cars on the Union Pacific road,
and we do not regret it. IF the COM
pany will construct car with a series
of wood-boxes arranged in tiers and fit
ted out with blanket with hinges to it,
so that it will adapt itself to the form, it
will be an Improvement. Now if you
get an upper berth, the motion of the
train and the friction on the roof of the
car wears your nose eff, and the blanket
is about as malleable as marble slab,
One of these days they will invent a
sleeper with quart of pure air for each
person, instead of mouthful. If there
should be more pure air and less mahog-
any corners in which to bump the sys.
tenn, and the porter received a regular
salary, instead of mobbing the train
with a whisk broom and garroting
the passengers for 81 each, life would
be more desirable.
When we get our own special car we
shall build berth in it long enough SO
that we shall not have to lie all night,
with our feet stuck out over the curtain
rod, and our nose against the cold,
frosty roof of the car. We shall also
have the head and foot board padded SO
that when the train stops at a water
tank in the middle of the night, it will
not knock all our teeth loose and mix
up our brains. Bill Nye's Boomerang.

Rum FROM OLD SHOES.

Old shoes are used for three purposes.
First, all shoes not completely worn out
are patched, creased, and, after being
otherwise regenerated, sold to men who
deal in such wares. Some persons wear
one shoe much more than the other;
these dealers find mates for shoes whose
original mates are past hope. Secondly,
the shoes not worth patching up are cut
into pieces; the good bits are used for
patching other shoes, and the worthless
bits, the soles and cracked "uppers' are
converted into Jamaica rum by process
known only to the manufacturers. It is
said that they are boiled in pure spirits
and allowed to stand for few weeks.
the product far surprising the Jamaica
rum made with essence, burnt sugar
and spirits. A gentleman who doubted
the truth of this story stopped recently
ct low grog shop in the neighborhood
of the factory spoken of and inquired if
they had any rum from old shoes.
"No," said the barkeeper, "we don't
keep it much now; the druggists, who
want a pure article, all sell it, and the
price has gone up. But we have had
it, and we can get you some if you want
it." How many old shoes go toa gal
lon of rum could not be ascertained.-

HOW THE GAY YOUNG MAN TOOK IN
THE LIYERTMIN.

One day recently q young man while
appearing heavy with ranglefoot pre-
sented himself to certain liveryman
and asked for a team to take ride.
"Never let teams to intoxicated parties"
was the stiff'reply. This blunt rebuff al
mostsobered the young man. Italso pro-
voked him to anger, and he went off into
q profane whirlwind in the Bombastes
Furioso style. ending with shaking
plethoric wad of greenbacks in the face
of the astonished stablekeeper, and
offering to buy the best single team in
the barns. Glitch up - quick, and
I'll pay you now" he said. CAN right"
was the reply, and $500 team was pre-
pared, the money paid over, and as the
man drove away the generous livery
man, who was elated over good bar
gain, said to the purchaser, eff you
bring the team back all right you can
have the money again." This ended the
first act in the play. Three days after
this, however, there came climax. For
then it happened that the nan returned
with the team and demanded that the
stable-keeper look it over carefully and
see if it was all right. He did SO and
pronounced everything in perfect order.
"Well, give me my money and take
your team back then,' said the man.
The stableman, who never goes back on
his word, counted out the $500 prompt
ly and returned it, and the man started
to go. "Hold on" shouted the other,
"you owe me So for the use of the
team" 81 never pay other people for
using my own team" was the reply of
the gay young man as he sauntered
away and never returned Waterbury

BULL-FlGHTING IN MEXICO.

The bull-fghters are dressed in all the
colors of the rainbow. They look very
much like the face cards Of the pack en-
larged. 1t is really funny to see the
Jack Of Diamonds, the King of Hearts,
and all the rest of the royal family that
are SO familiar to many of our readers,
prancing about the area.
In reality there is no bull fight at all.
There is more real danger in lighting a
kerosene-lamp or in calling policeman
liar than there is in dozen bull
fights. Before the bull is presented
with the freedom of the arena several
inches Of his horns are sawed off. The
horns are sawed off down to the quick.
The end of the horn is as sensitive to
the bull as an army-sized boil is to a
man. If man has large boil on his
person he does not try to butt people
with it. That's the way it is with the
bull with the sore horns. Instead OF
rushing about trying to impale the bull
fighter, the bull is scared half to death
for fear the Jack Of Spades or the King
Of Hearts may accidentally bump against
that sore horn. The Jack Of Diamonds,
knowing this, gets right in front Of the
danger brute, which turns tail for
fear the face card will run against that
sore horn.
As soon as the bull refuses to hurt his
sore horn against the Jack of Hearts the
cir is rent with Is viyas" in honor of the
reckless intrepidity Of the bull fighter,
who gracefully bows his acknowledge
ment. All the bull-fghters try in vain
to bump against that sore horn, but the
bull is too smart for them. They punch
him with spears, thrust spikes, festooned
with tissue paper, in his side until he is
dripping with blood, until the unfortu-
nate brute is exhausted; but he never
loses his presence Of mind SO much as to
punch one of tine face cards with that
sore horn. Texas Siftings.

ANCIENT BOOR-MIKING.

The first mention of book in tho
Bible is in Genesis V. l, where it is I'M
piled that some kinds of records were
kept from the very days of Adam. Some
think that the books of Job was written
earlier than the book Of Moses. With
out doubt, it belongs to the time OF the
patrisrchs.
Books in the earlier ages were written
on the leaves of the papyrus, on skins,
on cloth, on tablets of stone, of wood, of
lead and of brass. Among the Hebrews,
the sacred books were usually written
on skins prepared like the parchment of
modern times. To form even one prin-
cipal section of the Bible, many skins
had to be sewed together. When writ
ten upon, the connected skin or volume
was rolled upon a round piece of wood,
or. if long, upon two pieces from the two
ends. The reader, therefore, unrolled
the book to the place he wanted, and
rolled it up again when he ceased to
read. (See Luke iv. 1920 The vol
ume thus rolled upon the pieces of wood
could be easily tied and sealed. (See
Isaiah xxx. IL; Daniel xii. A.
The labor of making, copying and
multiplying books by hand was very
great. Many persons spent their whole
lives in this toilsome work. As the cop
ying Of the sacred writings required
great care, in order to avoid errors and
to make the books readable, persons had
to be trained to the task. Indeed, the
copying of the Scriptures came to be q
sacred art. In this way arose the pro-
fession, and as may be said the learned
caste of the Scribes. AS they had the
care Of the rolls of volumes of the law,
they were sometimes called lawyers.
Not only did they make copies Of the
sacred text, but they claimed to explain
it, and thus acquired great influence
with the people. From our Lords TO-
proofs to the Scribes of his day we learn
that they did not always use their in
fuence for good.
The chief Scribes among the Jews
were teachers. In the outer court of
the Temple there were many chambers,
in which they sat on elevated platforms
and overlooked their pupils, who sat on
the lower platforms, and thus at their
feet.
When we remember the wars, the
captivities and the prosecutions of the
Jews, we may well consider the safe
keeping and handing down of the sacred
records to modern times as among the
wonders of Divine Providence
Days.

YALUE OF TIE COH.

The first cows were imported to this
country by adventurers from Europe in
1909. They were mostly of Spanish
and Swedish breeds. The first COWS in
the West were imported to Cahokia, ILL.,,
in 1900. They were largely used in
place of horses for drawing plows, etc.
In 1850 the first cattle were driven
across the plains to California. It was
then thought that the nature of the
country was such that it could not sus-
tain cattle, but this was afterward found
to be a mistake, the dairy interest Of
California being now sef-supporting. In
1880 there were 5,877, 791 horned cat
tie in the United States, which, esti-
mated at $25 head, would represent a
value of 1896, 943,775. This was an in
crease over the figures Of 1870 of so per
cent. The census showed that in 1880
there were IL, 442, 1877 mich COWS in the
country, which will probably be in
creased in 1882 to 100000. Calculat-
ing the value of the milk flow at $40
per COW per year, the milk of these kline
would be worth $500, 100000. An in
crease OF 10 per cent. during the next
year means an addition Of 81, 600, 600
per week to the wealth Of the country.
The State Of Iowa in 1870 had but $780,
81 cattle, and no creameries. In 1880
it had 1921, 900 cattle and 500 cream
cries, whose number is constantly in
creasing. Estimating the annual but
ter yield Of COW at 100 pounds, these
COWS produce an annual butter product
of IS, 400, 700 pounds, which, at25 cents
per pound, is a value Of $21, 81, 425,
one-half Of which is exported. The
dairy interest Of Iowa, Illinois and Wis
consin has increased &C per cent. during
the last ten years, while the increase in
New York State was but 6 per cent.
The dairy interests Of the States Of Kan
sas, Nebraska, Dakota and Minnesota
are also pushing forward with rapid
strides.-Co,. Littler, before the North
western Dasrynaen's Convention.

TO THE PUBLIC.

So many extravagant statements have gone
forth regarding the accident" to the Navy De-
parment elevator, that we deem it our duty to
give the above extract from the report of the Ex-
aiming Board. The simple facts are that the ma.
chinery, which passed out of our hands three
years ago, was found by the Board in bad condi-
tiop; that the driving belt of the engine was not
able to hold lis load that IT slipped on the pulley
and the car descended TO the bottom-iiot at q
dangerous speed, being held in check by the safety
fixtures which proved entirely reliable and per.
formed Just the duty for which they were designed
saving from harm the seven passengers and car.
After an experience of twenty-five years In
building Hosting Machinery, having constructed
the greater part Of the 1rst-class passenger eleva
tors throughout the United States and many in
foreign countries We desire to say THAT NO PER
sos HAS EVER BEEN INJURED UPON ONE OF
OUR PASSENGER ELEVATORS! When we further
state that II is estimated that upwards Of FIFTY
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE ANNUALLY CAR
RIED on our ELEVATORS IN NEW York cIrY
ALONE, the magnitude of our business may be
imagined.

The ABLE editors of the New York Sun
and National Republican, billing and cooling
with interchange of quotations, have
undertaken difficult task. Compelled
at last to admit that Belmont's version of
Mr.. Blaine's dispatch of December 16 cannot
be sustained. they solemnly and mutually
and by preconcert agree in declaring that
Belmont would have been perfectly correct
if he had applied his criticisms to Mr..
Blaine's dispatch of August A. In that
dispatch, according to these two able edi-
tors, Mr.. Blaine did undoubtedly menance
Peru Chilli and all South America with
dire and terrible war if the Landreau claim
should not be paid.
Turning to the dispatch of August A, we
find the following safe and cautious Ian
guage used by Mr.. Blaine
In regard to the Landreau claim, l see no
reason to differ from the conclusion TO which
my predecessors seem to have arrived. John
@. LaIdreau is an American citizen, appar-
entity entitled, under lawful contract, to
reasonable compensation for important SER
vices TO the Peruvian Government In con-
formity with the established practice. of our
Government, while you cannot, In such case,
make an official demand for the settlement Of
this claim, you will employ your good Offices
10 secure Its prompt and Just consideration.
These words form the very foundation of
Mr.. Blaine's dispatch of August A. Ver5am
scriptum manet, which, translated for the
benefit of the able editors of the Sun and
Republican, mean that it is very easy to
distort and misreprescnt a mans spoken
words, but that it is very difficult to buck
against" the written and printed words.
Fortunately for Mr.. Blaine, he has only to
quote from his own dispatches to answer al
the ISLANDERS thus far invented touching his
administration of the State Department.
