A wabash "onnnon Rail"

II appears that the Wabash Railway,
which has heretofore been only q spectator
of the strife of the great roads for fast time
passenger traffic to Kansas City and the Far
West, has determined to enter the field as a
competitor. An official announcement il
made that the Wabash will, beginning March
4th, run fast '1imited" train daily, except
Sunday, from Toledo, Ohio, to Kansas City,
leaving Toledo at 10.15 a. m; Ft. Wayne,
10 p. M; Lafayette, 4.50 p. m: DAN
vile, 6.35 p. M; Decatur, 9.10p p. m; Spring
field, 1880 p. m, reaching Kansas City next
morning at 800 O'Clock, thus making the en-
tire distance of 662 miles in less than twenty
three hours. Chair cars will be run in each
train through from Toledo to Kansas City
and rice rersd without change and free OF
charge. By taking this train passengers will
be saved the annoyance and discomfort ol
change of cars at any point en-route.
A fast train leaving Chicago daily at 2.O(
T. m. will connect at Decatur with the abov
train 10 p. M, Sunday excepted, arriving al
Kansas City at 900 a. m. A return train will
be run over the same route, from Kansas
City to Toledo and Chicago, leaving Kansas
City about 620 p. M, arriving at Chicago
next day at Las p. m. daily; Toledo, 500 p
m. daily, except Sunday, over line quite
equal to the best of the competing roads il
the qualities which make road attractive
to travellers.
From the first it has been easy to gues
that the enterprising Wabash would not Ions
be content without claiming a share of tn
Kansas City fast time travel; and it is nov
evident that the claim is about to be asserted
with an energy which will command success

Clad i'm Shells of Steel.

The finest armQrs were made from
1440 to 1460. They were marvels of
suppleness, lightness, and elegance.
The iron shell was modelled on the
body beneath it and followed every
movement of the torso and limbs, pro.
tecting without contining them; the
steel envelope had become individual
and was, like hose and jerkin. made
for its wearer, instead of the clumsy
greaves of the fourteenth century,
made to fit any man. In these leg.
places, carefully articulated at the
thigh and above the knee, personal
peculiarities appear-legs slightly
bowed and more or less heavily mus.
cled at the calf, in the flexible corselet
the body enjoyed comparative free.
dom; under the armet or round he'll
met the head turned easily; the pointed
toes of the sollerets could be unfasten-
ed in a moment if the knight was
obliged to dismount; the gauntlets
were as supple as silk gloves, and the
weight of the whole armor, composed
of very thin plates of well-tempered
steel, was so carefully distributed that
it appeared comparatively light. This
armor, nodded on the forms of the
body beneath it, composed of polished
steel, was the t.'white harness" so often
mentioned by the chroniclers. In
France it was worn without ornament,
but the Italians decorated it with lions
heads and antique masks; little later
the armorers of Nuremberg, then very
popular in France, introduced fluted
steel-it was stronger, not heavier,
and offered more resistance to lance
thrusts than the smooth metal. Many
beautiful specimens remain of this
Maximilian armor, as it was called.
No further progress was possible;
comparative lightness, resistance, con-
venience, and elegance of form had
been attained. After this time the
shape of helmet and corselet was
varied according to individual caprice
or the latest fashion, and the steel was
gilded and ornamented; but armor,
having attained its complete develop.
ment, steadily declined. -Scribner's

Astronomy in the Country.

To counterbalance the discomforts
of winter observations of the stars, the
observer finds that the softer skies of
summer have no such marvellous
brillants to dazzle his eyes as those
that illumine the hyemal heavens. To
comprehend the real glories of the ce-
lcstial sphere in the depth of winter
one should spend few clear nights in
the rural districts of New York or New
England, when the hills, clad with
sparkling blankets of crusted snow,
reflect the glitter of the living sky. In
the pure frosty air the stars seem
splintered and multiplied indefinitely,
and the brighter ones shine with a
splendor of light and color unknown
to the denizen of the smoky city, whose
eyes are dulled and blinded by the
glare of street lights. There one may
detect the delicate shade of green that
turks in the imperial blaze of Sirius, the
beautiful rose-red light of Aldebaran,
the rich orange hue of Betelgeuse, the
blue-white radiance of Rigel, and the
pearly luster of Capella. If you have
never seen the starry heavens except
as they appear from city streets and
squares, then, / had almost said, you
have never seen them at all, and es-
pecially in the winter is this true. |
wish could describe to you the i'm
preston that they can make upon the
opening mind of country boy. who,
knowing as yet nothing of the little
great world around him, stands in the
yawning silence of night and beholds
the illimitably great world above him,
looking deeper than thought can &C
into the shining vistas of the universe,
and overwhelmed with the wonder o.
those marshaled suns Garrett r Ser

Some Funny Things.


ways some people have Of wording and
punctuating signs and nOticesP said
a gentleman, in Chattanooga, to
Times reporter the other day.
Don't know that / have" replied
the pencil-pusher.
"Well, you notice as you 60 along
the street, or notice the advertisements
and headlines in some papers, and you
will be surprised"
Following this cue, the reporter be-
gan to cast his eyes about him in his
walk along Market street. The first
sign that attracted his particular at.
tenti0n was one that hangs in front Of
a hat renovating establishment, and
which makes the following announce
ment:
your hat blocked while you wait
for so cents"
1t fails to state how long you must
wait for the so cents, and, therefore,
the exact time at which the 'dicer"
will be returned to its owner is rather
vague.
A little further on and a commits.
sion house was reached, where large
piece of pasteboard swung out to the
breeze, upon which, in letters that
evidently emanated from marking
pop. appeared the words:
"Goose Feathers Marked Down"
Now, whether this was a practical
Joke on the part of the merchant the
reporter did not know, but as "dOwn"
comes from Il goose, and are goose
feathers, they can very appropriately
be marked "down" without any false
representations on the part of the
seller, OF without conveying the fact
that they are any cheaper than they
have been before.
Then the reporter began to scratch
his intelligent Uranium and sauntered
back to the office. As he crossed the
street near the pants factory, he saw a
small sign hanging to a post, and
going little nearer read the startling
intelligence:
"Female Pants Makers Wanted"
Comment was unnecessary, and the
scribe went on his way,
A few minutes later he picked up a
Richmond, Va, paper, and in the
'want" column read the advertise
ment of tobacco manufacturing firm,
which was worded in this way;
"Wanted-Four girls to strip in a
tobacco factory"
Just underneath this was another
small "ad," stating:
"For rent--Two rooms furnished
with young widow"
Ye gods! The reporters brain be-
gan to real, and in spite of himself he
began to wonder what the world is
coming to. He had been raised in a
Christian community and his cultured
mind failed to grasp the sanctity OF
the situation.
In despair he turned from the ad-
vertising columns, and imagine the
narrowed state of his feelings when he
read an account of q double murder
in which it was stated that John
Rice was shot in the abdomen; the
other man was shot in the saloon next
door"
And thus it runs throughout the
various exchanges and on many signs.
One paper that was looked at con-
veyed the intelligence that 'several
dogs were shot in the West end.
Not being thoroughly familiar with
the dog anatomy, and totally unaware
as to the direction in which the dogs
were headed. the reporter cannot say
whether getting "shot in the West
end" was any more fatal to their dog
! ships than to be shot in the head OF
neck.
