 No other accom- plishment among ladies needs to be taught more than the proper use of reins. If the ladies knew more about the ribbons of 8 horse's harness than the rib bons of their bonnets it would be better for them. woman has to use such knowledge twice where man does once, for she must make up in skill what she lacks in strength and agility. don't know that I can recall one instance in which lady driver was in- jured when she herself was not to blame on account of inexperience. AS 8 rule they are given only gentle horses, and if there were proper knowledge of the art of driving it would seem almost impossible for an acci- dent to take place."
 ssWhy this ignorance f'
 'sPrincipaIly because parents have the mis- taken notion that it is not as aristocratic to drive horse as to ride one As a material consequence, we have riding schools all over the country in which great pains are taken to sit saddle, and she thinks she has learned 8 very important thing when she has mas- tered it; and yet ten chances to one she would know so little about sitting seat in carriage that if her driving horse should out up few capers she would be seen trying to make flying leap ever the back seats or en- dangering the lives of others by pulling on the wrong line and Intentionally mixing things up."

 ''Yes, almost at 8 glance. Now, there comes lady driving that big bay. See? Did you notice the way she held the lines Well, that isn't proper, although nearly every lady we've met this afternoon held them that way. You will notice a man or 8 good lady driver always grasps the rein so that it passes into the hand under the little finger first, the ends of the fiagers after the hand is closed upon the rein, being in a perpen- dicular line This gives 2 wise like grip which it is almost impossible for the leather to slip through. But the wrong habit ladies fall into is to catch the rein in such way that when it enters the hand it first passes over the forefnger when held in that way it is very hard % keep it from slipping, ard so it happens that when an excited horse gives quick jerk and the lady feels the line slip she thinks her strength is inadequate. loses her presence of mind and in few min- utes somebody's hurt"

The speed of railroad trains has been much discussed of late and some very wild statements have been made as to the running time of fast trains in this country and in Europe. It Is now asserted that the fastest train on this continent is the afternoon ex- press from C6teau to ottawa,I over the Can ada Atlantic, which makes the distance of seventy-eight and half miles in one hour and thirty-four minutes, with three stops. Deducting these the time is fifty-four and 8 half miles per hour, making it second in speed only to the Plying Dutchman'' from London to Bristol, England. which runs one hundred and eighteen and quarter miles, with no stops, in two hours. or fifty nine and an eighth miles per hour.

1T Is regarded by those in London
likely to be the best informed that the
statement Of Lady Florence Dixie as to
the attack made upon her recently near
Windsor Is a pure fabrication. Not a
trace Of any struggle could be found on
the damp mould on which the struggle
is alleged to have taken place. Two
large men dressed in women's clothes
could not possibly have reached her
house without having been seen. A
number Of persons who were near the
place when the attack was alleged TO
have been made testify that they heard

The Burning Railroad Car.

The passengers who escaped from the burn
ing sleeper on the Pcnnsy lvania Railroad tel
thrilling stories of their narrow escapes from
being burned alive. One of the most remark
able was that of General Dudley, Commission
er of Patents. He had only time to seize his
artificial leg, tuck it under his arm and drag
himself along the aisle toward the door, keep
ing his face close to the floor to avoid the
binding, sufrocating flames. AS he reached
for his leg he remembered that Representa-
tive Ben Wilson, of West Virginia, who occu-
pied berth some distance down the car, was
deaf, and the thought flashed across his mind
that perhaps the alarm might not have aroused
the sleeping man. As he crawled along on his
bands, knee and stump, he felt in every
berth, making all possible speed, but not
missing bunk in his blind search
for Wilson. Suro enough, there lay
the Congressman in one of the berths
sound asleep, in the very embrace OF fiery
death, totally Oblvious of his danger. The
Commissioner shook him vigorously, but he
could not arouse the sleeper. Reaching over
the PROSTATE form he raised the window, and
then, Jumping into the berth, he seized Mr.
wilson by both shoulders and shook him with
desperate earnestness, which at last ac-
complished the object, and the member OF
Congress crawled through the window as the
train came to a halt. The General remained
cool IN spite or the heat and binding smoke,
and be again placed his face within two or
three inches OF the floor and dragged himself
through the doorway and fell from the plat
form more dead than alive. The car within
two minutes was all ablaze, and but for Gem
eral Dudley's presence of mind there would
have been another vacancy in the West Vir-
GINA Congressional delegation. Very few Of
the passengers got away with anything except
their night clothes. Luckily, General Dud-
iey's Pantaloons were fastened to his artificial

cast 5000 votes at the last election, the
number Of agricultural entries to the

entries are now being made at the rate of

considerable portion Of the inhabitants
are settled on railroad lands and school
sections, IL is manifest that the number
of entries Of public lands is far beyond
the actual occupation Of such, and far
beyond the entries that could legally
have been made. These frauds are not
