under auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A, and the
very successful public entertainments held
by the Association, have placed the work
of this organization upon a very deservedly
popular basis. It's active and unselfish
work in the interests of young men,

tiles and IFS reading-rooms, gymnasium,
use OF free baths, etc, renders it of finan-
cal as we'll as moral, physical and intel

given early in the season, and it was in
tended that other receptions for those of
various lines of industries would follow,
but by request of the young people the
next social event of the Association of this

Early Coach Building.

The first Lond on coach builder we
read of was named Walter Rippon. lie
was employed by Queen Mary Tudor to
build her turning coach, with pillars
and arches. Presumably tie fore-whee'o
turned on pivot, as our modern car
liages do. In 1884 he made chariot
for Queen Elizabeth, with four pillars,
surmounted by an imperial crown, and
with two lower pillars in front, sur
mounted by a lion and dragon, her
armorial supporters. The same sover-
eign is represented in one Of her por-
traits in an open litter. borne by the
great officers of the Court. 1t is tr7m
her reign that coaches Ia name derived
from Hungary and carriages resembling
those we now use came into fashion. For
many years carriages were posse sed
only by the Queen and the great officers
of the kingdom; they were exceptional
uxuries. Her Majesty's carriages were
open at the sides. She was fond OF prog
resses from one great nobeman's house
to another, or to and from her own
palaces, and wished her liege sub IS to
see her. The closed coach, as already
remarked, was introduced from Hungary.
1t had a wooden top, plentifu.ly gar
nished with gilt nails, and the sides were
close by curtains. The Emperor OF
Germany went to Frankfort to his coro-
nation in such a coach in 1875. The Ger
man princes in the sixteenth and follow
ing centuries seem to have been far in
advance of other potentates in the num-
| ber of their carriages or coaches. Henri
! ". of France had but one, and he was
in it when re was murdered by Ravaillac.
! The coache! " cdrOsse3 OF Louis the Mag
nifcent were numerous and sumptuously
decorated. According to Macaulay, II
procession of hundred carriages be-
longing to Hi Majesty and the Court
was seat out to receive James ii. when
he took refuge in France,
Glass coaches, or coaches with glass
| panels instead of curtains at the sides, do
not seem to have been introduced into
England until the middle Of the seven
teenth century. Plate glass for the pur-
pose was of Venetian origin. The man
ufacture was established at Fulham, by
the Duke Of Buckingham, and it was
used for carriage panels during the reigns
of the Stuart sovereigns. The coach of
the Speaker is said to have been made
for or used by Oliver Cromwell. 1t is
of carved oak, similar in general outline
| to the Stlte coaches of more recent times,
but more upright on the angles and more
compact in appearance. The body is
hung by stout leather straps to iroa
standards, which rest on groups of we'll
carved figure work, representing Jupiter,
Neptune, the City of London and Africa.
Other NEUROLOGICAL groups are carved on
the driving box and at the back. 1t
must be of enormous weight, as it meas
ures nineteen feet in total length, and
fourteen from axle to axle. It is drawn
by two horses only-etiquette does not
allow the Speaker larger number--so
those two have to be of elephantine
weight and strength Magazine Of Art.

Indian Dlck Driving.

Writing about the natural wonders of
Nevada, Virginia City letter to the New
York Sun says: Duck Lake lies on the
north side of the Pyramid branch of the
Truckee River and west of the upper
portion, or head, of Pyramid Lake, from
which it is only separated by low hill
or ridge of sand. 1t is circular in form,
and has neither inlet nor outlet. This
small lake is great place of resort and
refuge for ducks, geese, swan and all
kinds of waterfowl when there is heavy
wind and Pyramid Lake is made to boil
like pot They then flock to this less
boisterous sheet of water by tens of
thousands Arrived there, however,
they are by no means safe from the In
dians in daylight hours. On such occa-
sions the Indians prepase for a. grand
duck drive. The water fowl dread the
tossing waves and white caps of Pyramid
Lake, and try to remain in shelter acres
of them crowding into the centre of the
lake out of range of guns fired from the
shore But the red men organize their
duck drive and the war soon opens. All
who have guns, and many who are
armed only with bows and arrows, sticks
and stones form in line on the crest of
the sand ridge lying between the small
lake ard the great lake. A number Of
Indians then man a feet Of tule RATS,
and, stating from the western shore of
the small lake, drive the ducks and other
fowl from their haven of rest
The birds make for Pyramid Lake
again, and, as they half fly and arc half
blown across the dividing ridge, the>nen
and boys there lying in wait bring down
hund eds of them with guns and other
weapons. Even small boys do great ex-
ecut on. Lying on their backs with
their bows on their feet they pull their
arrows with both hands, sending their
missiles with as much force as could a
man shooting in the ordinary way. The
sGuaws in former warike times fired ar
rows in the same way when an enemy
made an attack on their camps. When
engaged in a duck drive the Ind ans do
not like white men to come on that side
of the river or anywh re near the place
where the hunt is progressing.

The rat is not incapable of dOcility In
cidents of the training and dom -icating
of rats are not rare, but the animal does

has tame several, which he has used at

eventually it became so otame that it would

A Celestial Vegetable.

The latest craze in the vegetable way
is the So. a hispida, species of legumi-
nous plant, somewhat resembling in
habit and appearance the well-knoWu
pea. Unlike the latter, however, it has
two distinct uses, industrial as we'll as
dietary 1t is highly priced in China
and Japan, and is said, indeed, to take
its scientific title from the japanese name
of a sauce sooja, which is made from its
seeds. The seeds are very similar to
''marrow fat pea, but contain large
quantity of oil, which is either pressed
out of them or boiled out in process Of
cooking the seeds for the table, which
is effected by simply throwing them into
boiling water, when the outer skin bursts
and floats to the surface, together with II
quantity of the oil, both the oil and the
husks being SKINNED off together.
These may be either used as cattle food,
or the oil may be separated and en-
ployed for various purposes while the
husks are still valuable as feeding stuff
or as amanure.
The peas are boiled for about twenty
minutes, and furnish dish which is
highly relished, not only by the Ceies-
tials, but by the Europeans who have
tasted it. 1t is sa' d to resemble in flavor
the green pea, but lacks its sweet taste.
The boiled sofa is also prepared as cake
and as n sauce, being fermented for the
latter purpose, and salt, pepper, etc,
being added. The sauce has a high repu-
tation among the Chinese and the Japan
ese, not merely as condiment, but as IL
medicinal agent. Chemical analysis of
the seeds show them to be very rich III
proteine. The oil is available for many
uses--for burning in lamps, or even as Il
sub b.titute for olive oil. Being some
what of siccative nature, it is not
adapted for lubricant, but is for that
reason useful as substitute for linseed
oil in the manufacture of paints and in
other similar industrial arts. Finally,
to complete the list of virtues of this
Celestial, the vines give an excellent fod-
der for horses and cattle. Ben; Pertey

The POliceman's Club.

Yearly all the police Captains have
been made the recipients of handsome
clubs by their admirers, and they take
great pride in them. They are made of
all kinds of expensive woods, highly
polished, and most of them are inlaid
with gold or silver, on which is inscribed
the date of the presentation and the
names of the givers. These beautiful
clubs are only for show, and policeman
would not think of using such club in
a scrimmage. Capt Clinchy had his at
theerecent car strike on the 1'wenty-third
street cross-town line, but he did not use
it. "Bah" said roundsman, who was
welding long night stick on that occa-
sion, this is the only kind of wood that
makes a decent club--locust wood All
the night clubs used by the New York
police are made of it. 1t is always to be
be relied upon, and never heard of one
breaking. Give locust to man who
knows how to use a club, and it is more
dangerous weapon than a pistol or knife.
A solid crack on mans head fractures
his skull, and it never misses fire. A
policeman would not dare hit q man a
hard blow on the head with locust, for
it would almost certainly kill him. A
slight bow on the head or face does not
leave a bruise, as you would suppose, but
cuts the skin as knife would cut paper. y
