On the Nreikong River.

An account of q journey down the Meikong
river by M. Ganthier, a French traveller in
Indo- China was read at the meeting Of the
Paris Society of Commercial Geography.
NJ. Ganthier was in company with NJ Pavie,
the French consul at Luang- Prabang, in the
Siamese Laos state of the same name, and
started down the Meikong TO its mouth at the
same time that II. Pavie started to the north
east 30 reach Hanoi and the valley Of the Red
river of Tonquin. At Luang- Prabang the
Meikong is about 300 yards in width land when
in food reaches a width of 1,2OO yards. The
town is market Of considerable Importance
for the Laos states. NJ Ganthier descended
the river at the rate of about six miles an hour
In a boat containing a few tons Of mer-
chandise. Virgin forests lined the banks,
and the villages were few and far between
After passing several dangerous rapids, he
reached Paklaye, where the river was about
], 400 yards wide. Sieng-Cang was the first
popuious town that be passed; it consists OF q
number Of huts constructed ON piles in the
river. Between this and Nong-Kai there is
a succession of cataractS Rubber forests
extend along both banks. Nong-Kai is the
chief place in central Laos and has number
Of Chinese merchants Trade Is carried on
through Bangkok, and II. Ganthier calcu-
lates that ton of merchandise costs in car
rage IS between the two places. The
Laotiens are not only naturally lazy, but
they fear to work lest they should be plum
dered by the SiameSe authorities. Those
parts of the Laos states which are drained by
the MeiSong are exceedingly fertile and
might become the granary Of the whole
region.-London Times

Suppers Instead of Late Dinners.

The development of luncheons and after
noon teas suggests to some minds a fore
shadowing of day when 8 O'Clock dinner
will disappear altogether from the pro-
gramme Of society, and when the antique
supper will he revived among us; when peo-
pie will so straight from the park to the
opera or play; when morning dress will be
the fashion in our theatres, and every hour.
of summer daylight will be utilized at gar
den parties and polo matches, riverside clubs
and suburban race courses, without the per-
petual tyranny Of getting home to dress for
dinner.
Then will wit revive in the cooler air OF
night, and supper tables and coteries will be
as brilliant as among the bellies and the blues
of the Walpolean epoch; then will chicken
and champagne after the play be the rule Of
society, not the special privilege of the dra-
matte critic; and on the first night of new
play a dozen of the stateliest houses in Lon
don will be open to choppers in, with enter
tainment as large and liberal as that which
Mr. Irving offers to his friends on the stage
of the Lyceum. Then, too, will the little
supper-where the guests are in number not
more than the MUSES. or less than the Graces
be again a sweetener of daily life, a rest
after labor; the dainty but not too elaborate
meal at round or oval table, the windows
open to the cool breath Of the night, and the
distant reverberation of wheels in Piccadilly
"a meal in which there should be less of
ceremony and flunkeydom and greater free
dom Of speech: meal at which we may de-
stroy half dozen regulations as lightly as
we shell the prawns and with not any more i'll

night supper we must needs eliminate the 8
o'clock dinner. Who will be the first to

Music of the AncIenrs.

The Egyptian flute was only cows horn

Tyre had only seven strings and was very
small, being held in one hand; the jewish

down were only rams horns; their flute was

the greatest boast made was the psaltery, a

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tation of passengers or property than it
charges for like and contemporaneous
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids. Itdoes not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another Why then patron
ize the railroad that offers the inferior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service

the same points. The railways entering

Something About the House Car Of Il
Future-A Suggestion.

Something About the House Car Of the
Future-A Suggestion.
In this age, when travelling may be said to
be almost passion, and when so much has
been done for the benefit of those who are
fond of roaming, it is strange that no system
Of movable houses has yet been devised. The
great improvements in parlor cars give hint
of how this should be done. Already our
milhonaires and railroad potentates have
their private palaces fitted up with every
convenience and luxury, in which they may
live for weeks at a time, having their cars
switched onto sidings at any place where they
wish to remain Two difficulties, however,
have yet to be overcome before these cars can
be regarded as satisfactory places for resi-
denca
In the first place there is seldom any pro-
vision made in them for the entertainment
of friends on any large scale Their owners
having remained for some time in any city
and enjoyed the hospitality of friends, are
debarred by the narrowness Of their quarters
from returning the social kindness of which
they have been made the recipients 1t is
necessary that the parlor car shall be devel-
oped until it contains dining rooms, parlors,
dining halls, and even ball rooms suited for
will probably necessitate the introduc-
ton Of wider gauge than is at
present commonly employed, unless some
arrangements can be made for the use Of
trucks running upon the double tracks with
which roads are already provided. This will
naturally come in time, and the people will
send out invitations for entertainments to De
given in half a dozen cities, on as many diff
DOH
at the specified time their own houses viii be
in the places named. 1t will be seen how
much this will add to the variety of social
life, and as it is directly in the line of the
growing cosInopolitanism of the country the
suggestion should appeal to popular intelli-
gence
The second difficulty with the existing state
of things is the fact that cars switched onto
q siding are almost sure to be in undesirable
parts of the town, whittier self respecting
pleasure seekers might naturally find it awk-
ward to resort. When once proper system
of house cars has been adopted, the next step
will be for the reservation Of squares in the
fashionable quarter of the town, laid with
convenient tracks and switches, and hired
out for longer or shorter periods to the pro-
prietors of travelling mansions As money
has long since ceased to be an object to
American millionaires they will undoubtedly
be willing to pay generously for such accom-
modations, and the general result will be sat
isfactory pecuniary returns to the holders of
lots, convenience to the voyaging household
ers, and a pleasant variety both to the ap-
pearance and social life of fashionable neigh
borhoods. All this is said, not SO much in
the way of suggestion as Of prophecy; but,
since it is we'll to accustom ourselves to pos
sibie Innovations, however startling, the idea
is worthy of consideration.-Boston Courier
