Jumping From Trains.

Of the Consolidated Road seldom have
occasion to Jump from the train while it
is in motion, Most of those who Jump
live at way stations where express trains
do not stop. Some few regular passen-
gers are well up in the jumping act. The
peoble who jump from the passenger
trains seldom jump when the train is
going at rate of more than ten miles
an hour, but a few have been known to
r:3k the jump when the train was going
twenty-five miles an hour. Most OF the
trainmen dislike 20 run the risk when
the train is in motion. Even the most
reckless prefer the rear platform of the
last car, a. there is not so much danger
of being drawn under the wheels ifa mis-.
step is made. Some of the men jump

Even then most are obliged to run some
distance before they can stop. Some
of the old train hands, however, can
jump off and come to a standstill almost
DO eoou dS LuclI locb CouCu tue GROUND,
The Orakemen on the freight trains are
the men who jump off the most. They
jump when the train is going at the rate
OF from twenty to twenty-five miles an
hour, always fnom the rear car, and al.
ways land in a perfectly upright position.
The ability to jump with comparative
safety when a train is going faster than
ten miles an hour is attained only by
long practice, as it is dangerous for q
novice, who, IL he did not happen to
calculate just how to jump, would fall
and break some of his bones.

How to Behave at a Party.

| remember that when | WAS quite
young, going to a party was nearly as
much a trial to me as a pleasure. Being
difident; I dreaded entering the room,
and encountering the eyes Of the people
already assembled there; and ohce fair
ly in, l was ove~rshadOwed all the even
ing by the dreadful necessity Of by and
by retiring. Besides, 1 felt q sense of
responsibility which was very oppres-
sive, and was so afraid Of not doing or
saying what was expected Of me that /
moved and acted awkwardly, and no
doubt looked perfectly miserable.
Perhaps svIle of you may have had
experiences similar TO mine. Now let
ME tell you that | have lived to laugh at
my foolish shyness, and to be very sorry
for boys and girls who suffer from the
same thing. When you are invited to a
company, the first thing in order is to
reply TO the invitation. This is polite,
whether you accept or decline, and it
is imperative if you decline. Send
your answer as soon n poss'
ible, in some simple way such a
phrase as this: Harold" or "Flor-
ence," thanks Mrs for her kind in
vitation for Thursday evening, ana &C.
cepts it with pleasure" or declines it
with real regret" as the case may be.
Arrived at your friends house, you will
be directed to the proper place for the
removal Of your wraps and the arrange
ment of your toilet, and then you have
on.y to proceed to the parlor, where
your hostess will relieve you from en-
barrassment by meeting you at once.
She is, of course, the first person whom
you are to greet. Having spoken to her,
you are at liberty to find other friends.
Do not think that people are looking
at you, or noticing your dress or your
looks. They are doing nothing of the
kind. Engage heartily in whatever
amusement is provided for the occasion.
but do not put yourself needlessly for.
ward. If spoken to, reply modestly but
intelligently, eve though for q moment
there be q hush in the room. If you
really wish TO enjoy yourself, seek
out somebody who seems more of a
stranger than yourself, and try TO do
something for his or her pleasure. For
get you are not acquainted with every
body, and remember that it is your du-
ty to help your hostess in making her
enemy be present, you must of course,
be perfectly civil and agreeable in your
manner to him, for in your friends
house you are under a flag Of truce.
When you say goodnight to your en-
tertainers De sure 10 thank them for the
pleasure you have had. Do not stay too
late but avoid being the first to 60; or. II
you must leave early, do it as quietly az
possible, lest your withdrawal should be
the signal for others to leave, thus
breaking up the party too soon.-Har-
per's Young People.

An Interesting Patent Suit.

An interesting case, involving a very inr
genious and economical device, has Just
been decided by the courts, the particulars
of which will bear brief mention. Nelson
Lyon of Albany, N. Y. has recovered judg-
ment of S., 447.I0 besides cost and interest
against O.. 4. Fisher & Co., In the United
States Circuit Couri. at Detroit, Mich, for
ar Infringement OF what is known to the
trade as Lyons Patent Metallic Heel S.ifen-
or. This continuance is one of the most USE
full of modern inventions, and has achieved
q remarkable sale over three-quarters of a
million dollars worth, the testimony in the
present suit showed having been disposed OF
since the patent was granted, being a grand
total OF 273 478 pounds, or 3, 1855, 900 pairs.
At one tiu.s the Attorney General OF the
United States declared the Lyon patent in
valid, simply on account of an informaiity
in the application, but this was aiterward
corrected by the Commissioner OF Patents,
In accordance with q special nc. of Congress
authorizing such correction. Fishers main
Improvement consisted in elongat;ng the
screw-hole fastening the plate, and, as de-
PENDANTS they based their main defence In
trying to show the special act OF congress
was unconstitutional and that plaintiffs i'm
vention was not new. Action was COM
menced in May, 1880, q perpetual injunc.
ton was obtained In December following,
the case was referred &c q master TO as
certain the pr1fts made by defendants and
the loss sustained by Mr.. Lyon. The mas
ter reported the sum as So, Ss4, but ON motion
the court doubled the same, and directed
Judgment to be entered against defendants
tor such double damages. with interest from
the date OF tie masters report and costs.

A Pretty wedding present.

From a Newport correspondent: A
pretty little story is told ofthe Earl and
Countess of Roseberry, who were here
q short time as guests of Mrs. August
Belmont. The Countess of Roseherry is
q daughter OF one Of the great London
Rothschilds, and she is very wealthy in
her own right. The Earl is amiable,
manly, dignifed to tie last degree. A
day or two before the wedding took
place Miss Rothschill asked the young
Earl what he would ike for q wedding
present from her. "Oh," he replied,
suppose you give me a box OF gloves
The box OF gloves was sent enclosed in
an elegant inlaid case. On opening the
box the Earl disco yered an envelope adj
dressed to him in q well-known hand.
He expected it contained dainty little
note. It did, bat not the sort Of note he
imagined. The contents of the envel-
ope was q check written out and signed
by Miss R~othschild, and in favor Of the
Earl, and was for the modest little sum
of 22O0, 900.

CONCERNING the Wenand Canal.

Few Americans have any idea about
the Welland Canal. / looked at this new
achievement of the Canadians last week.
The old canal was a towpath concern
and did not admit asteam tug coincident
with the vessel. The new canal has
fourteen feet of water when there IS
high water, but in the summer drought
it is said to be less than fourteen feet.
1t is q magnifcantly constructed work,
and excites surprise that Americans
should have permitted Canadians to an
ticipate them. Yet it will be observed
that the facilities for this canal through
Canada are much better than through
the United States. The axis of the W
lakes, Erie and Ontario, passes through
Canada; the Niagara river issues from
the extreme eastern end of Lake Erie
while Lake Ontario, overlaps Lake Erie
considerably in Canada. 1t is rather
startling to see moving through the APP

nal is built, tall, massive ocean steamers,

tlnuous as a caravan across the desert.

Stumbling Horses

that would tend to produce this faulty

muscular system, such as would be no.

about by carry ing too much weight
on the toe. To effect a cure, he adds,

TIRED SENATOR'S.

Nearly Worn Out in the Consideration of
the Tariff.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-In the Senate, the
question of passing the tariff bill is no longer
one OF uncertainty, but simply of how many
dsys before the final point of action is
reached
Said one senator to-day, whose haggard
looks betokened the sincerity of his remark:
Il deyoutly pray that the people OF this
country may receive as much relief
from the operation of this bill,
if it becomes a law, as we will
experience when it is fairly off our hands and
cansciences."
In view of the early completion of the
tariff measure, there will probably be a con-
ference tomorrow of the five senators desig-
mated at the last Republican caucus, with the
view of determining which of the many
measures now pending before the Senate
shall be given precedence in their considera-
tipn. 1t is quite possible that caucus of
the Republicans of the House may be held
within few days to determine what course
to pursue with reference to the Senate tariff
