Tia 'Vestibu,e a. a Safety Device.

Closely related to the coupler is the vesti-
bule. which within the last few years has
become so fashionable The vestibule is not
merely luxury, but has a certain value as
q safety device. The full measure of this
value has not vet been proved Occasionally
lives are lost, by passengers falling from or
being blown from the platforms of moving
trains. Such accidents the veStibule viii
prevent. and, further. it decreases the oscil-
lation OF the cars, and thus to some degree
helps 70 prevent derailment. 1t is also some
protection against teieScopiug. a few months
ago coal train on double track road was
derailed, ana four cars were thrown across
In front OF a solid vesnbule train Of seven
Pullman cars approaching on the other
track The engine Of the vsstibuled train
was completely wrecked Even the sheet
Iron jacket was stripped of from il. The
engineer and fireman were instantly killed,
but not another person on the train wss in

cars were strong, and partly. doubtless, be
cause the vestibules helped TO keep tn plat
forms on the same level and in line, and
thus TO prevent crushing Of the ends OF the

Els Wife Not Satisfied.

President Lincoln had been during our
most stormy weather to visit the camps Of
the generals in Virginia, and taken a violent
cold. Mrs. Lincoln was in despair and one
day said to Secretary Stanton: Il do wish
you would lock Mr.. Lincoln out Of the rooms
for week. He is i'll enough to be in bed
now, and suffers agonies with his arms from
acute rheumatism. | don't know what tc
do. He goes out, and keeps at work every
moment"
Mr. Lincoln waved his long arm at the
secretary, saying, We'll, Stanton, there
ought to be one comfort for my poor wife,
anyhow-the same that the poor man Jeffer-
son had, whose only son died. Did you ever
hear the storyi
Ibis friends, family, neighbors, and church
lamented, extolled and grieved over the loss,
at the funeral, when jefferson himself arose
and said, My dear friends: We have the
blessed consolation Of knowing that every
thing was done that could be done. He was
bled no less than twenty-four times in twenty
four hoursl But he had no strength and had
to die.

Ch2rtreuSe.

The manufacture of ohartreuse is of COM
paratively modern origin. Till 1885, in the
Grand Chartreuse alone, an elixir was made
of certain herbs stepped and distilled in brandy
for medicinal purposes, and it was solely as q
remedy that the original chartreuse was en-
ployed and distributed by the brothers. That
their decoction would become iiqueur for
the palate Of luxury never occurred to them.
In time, however, both the manufacture was
improved and the fame Of its excellence ex-
tended; 20 that the rude old work shops in
which the brothers distilled the herbs no
longer suficed, and new buildings were erect
ed, and operatives came into that Alpine
basin TO lend their aid TO the perplexed and
overworked brothers. Now, the manufac-
ture has called into existence quite small
town. Formerly three kinds of chartreuse
were made-the white, the yellow and the
green; but the white has been abandoned OF
late years TIE green is both the strongest
and the most expensive. There is more al
cohol IN the green than IN the yellow. 1t is
limited that the reverend fathers themselves
regard blend OF the two as the perfection
Of the liqueur In the proportions of one-third

CHARLOTTE THOMPSON.

The Crawford Grand Was crowded last
night to witness the popular actress,
Charlotte Thompson, in the great comedy
drama, Hearts Astray." In acts one and
two the scenes are laid in England while
the third act represents an Irish barOnet' S
country seat. Miss Thompson as Lady
Elsie Ardent clearly demonstrated the
fact that she is without peer in light
comedy. Good work was done by the re-
naming members of the company, especi-
ally by William Yearanc, as Lord Ardent,
and Il. Valentine, as the two brothers, Sir
Harry and Sir Edward OHagan. This
afternoon Jane Eyre" will be presented

The Moon and Vegetation.

The influence of the moon upon vegetation
is very feeble compared with that Of the sun,
but it is established. Professor Lindley says
that possibly the screens which are drawn
over hot houses at night to prevent loss Of
heat by radiation, may produce some injury
by cutting off the rays of the moon, which
nature intended to fall upon plants as much
as the rays of the sun. Again, II. Duchaiie,
French scientist few years ago expert
mented on the sprouting and termination Of
seeds in moonlight instead of sunlight. He
subjected the seedlings Of lentils, vetches, etc.
to its influence. When the seeds had sprouted
he put them in dark place and kept them
there for time, so that the stalks grew sleu
der and of a yellowish white. Afterward on
three nights when there was clear moon
light, he exposed them for six hours each
night. He found that the stalks at once
turned toward and followed the moonlight
just as many plants turn toward and follow
the progress of the SUN through the heavens.
In hot countries it is well known that vege-
tation is largely dependent upon the moon.
West Indian planters affirm that the growth
of the sugar cane is twice as great during
moonlight nights as when there is no moon,
an assertion which has been repeatedly
proven.-New York Telegram

LAST YEAR.

We stood on the porch in the moonlight
A silence had fallen on each;
with my heart full of worship
That could not FIND utterance in speech.
OF what was she thinking wondered,
AS she carelesSly slipped the band
OF gold. with its cluster Of diamonds
Back and forth on that soft white hand
Had any part in her Dreaming
II the lasheS that swept her cheek
Would lift and unveil their beauty,
Perhaps I'd find courage to speak
clasped the dear hand as it wandered
CWas there ever a hand so sweetD
When the ring fell, glittering bauble.
Low down in the grass at her feet
"Oh, make me wish" she said laughing,
AS picked up the dainty thing;
Good fortune is certain to follow
The wish that Is made with ring"
Was there ever man SO temptedy
Should speak out the wish of my heart
That we two might wander forever
And yet never wander apart
But crushed down the love that cried loudly,
And my words were careless and cold
As l wished her life OF enjoyment
And lovers with plenty of gold.
So We parted Tonight the moonbeaIns
Fall softly on the old porch once more,
But wonder what dins its beauty
That it had one short year before?

The Inventor of the OratOrio,

St Philip Neri, to whom a statue is to be
raised in Rome, was, according to tradition, a
great miracle ker, but his clsim to our
grateful consideration lies IN the fact that be
was the real inventor of the oratorio He
was born IN l5l5 in Florence, and about 1861
consecrated as priest at Rome. When later
he founded a congregation Of priests at Rome
he used to explain to them biblical histories,
and ia order 70 render these entertainments
attractive he permitted hymns and psalms to
be sung between the intervals Of his teachings
and exhortations. AT length he dramatized
sacred stories, writing them in verse and set
ting them to music in the fashion of hymns
The choruses written in four parts, were in
terspersed with solos, and the plays were d.
vided into two parts. The sermon was deliv-
cred after the first part, and thus the contin-
ued attention Of the congregation was as
sured, for none would leave before hearing
the second part of this primitive form Of ora
torio.-Boston Times.

The man had made camp on the West
