The Union Pacific Ry.. also known as
The Overland Route, has lately added to
its service q number of new cars (which
by the way are built by the World famous
Pullman Company entitled Colonist
Sleepers, and which for convenience and
comfort are but little behind the hand
some Pullman Palace Car. The cars are
designed for the use and comfort of the
Colonist, who with his family intend NOV
ing West to grow up with the country.
The only difference between these cars
and the regular first. class Pullman is that
the Colonist sleeper is not upholstered.
There are fourteen sections in each car,
and separate toilet rooms for ladies and
gentlemen. At night, by means of slid
ing headboards and heavy damask cur
tains as much privacy is secured as if in
the regular irst-class sleeper. Plenty OF
fresh, clean towels and a good supply Of
water are also to be found. A uniformed
porter accompanies each car to look after
the comfort and attend to the wants of
the passengers. and no smoking is al
lowed. 1t certainly seems that tor cheap
and comodious sleeping Accommodations,
while travelling these cars cannot be ex-
celled.

1t is, indeed, a fitting thing that the
woman who is enriched through rev.
enue based on a Pittsburgh rent roll,
should bestow upon this city aprincely
gift in the form Of a park. The gift
made by Mrs. Schenley is a graceful
as well as a noble one, destined to en-
shrine her memory most felicitously
throughout the years TO come. Pitts
bugg's greatest need is met by a woman,
and Schenley park will be, for sue.
ceeding generations, a monument to
her memory. The locality seems to
meet all the requirements and will
give to Pittsburgers a breathing place
second to none, when art shall have
fully aided nature in developing the
possibilities Of the tract. The pur-
chase of the additional 300 acres, al
the reasonable price named by Mrs.
Schenley, must surely come to pass il
this city and its people desire to EN-.
brace a golden opportunity. Pittsburg
is nc longer to be a parkless city, and
she owes her new found privilege to q
woman.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-The annual re.
port OF the civil service commissioner
calls special attention to the need of ade-
quate means to carry on the work. The
number of applicants examined during
the last fiscal year was nearly double the
preceding year, while the working force
remained the same. The commissioner
asks for al appropriation of $50, 200 for
the next fiscal year. After reviewing the
changes and improvements in the system
at great length, the report says the merit
system of making appointments as con
trated with the patronage system is no
longer in its experimental stage. Where
its trial has been fair the system has
worked admirably.

JNo. y. CARROLL. Editor
1T E

The Rawhns Journal calls upon the
coming legislature to take a hint from the
constitutional convention IN the subject Of
more stringent election lavs-the Austral-
ian system or a modification of it.
THE LEADER is inclined to 20 even a
little farther and suggest to the legisla-
ture to scrutiuize with care the document
prepared by the convention and see # they
do not find several other things eminently
worthy Of thoughtful consideration. The
fact of the matter is hat the constitution
gives some very useful information as TO
the trend of popular sentiment and the
demand for reform.
In no one other respect is the need for re-
form more glaringly apparent than in our
election laws. Things are rapidly coming
to such a pass that an election to office de-
ponds almost entirely upon the depth of a
candidates pocket The balance of power
in several recent contests was held by a
purchasable element of voters, who had
no property interests here and cared moth
ing except for the few paltry dollars which
their vote might bring.
There is no denying the fact that our
election contests frequently degenerate in
to a question of barter and sale. The en-
tire election machinery needs thorough
o~verhauling. Under the present system
it is almost impossible for a candidate 70
win an election on his merits. Wherever
introduced the modified Australian sys-
TEN of voting has been found to work ad-
mirably. The secret ballot in itself was a
great step in the right direction, but when
the voter goes into a booth alone to fix
his ticket there is too much uncertainty as
to the candidate he may finally select for
any of them to take chances on his deliv-
ering the goods, even though he should
accept a bride. This Of itself deals a Sc
we're blow to bribery. This system also
does away with the pernicious split
ticket. The tickets are straight party
tickets, with spaces left to write in the
names of other people if candidates on
both regular tickets are unsatisfactory.
There is no possibility of hoodwinking a
voter into casting a ballot for some one
whom he does not desire to vote for. as is
now oftentimes the case with split"
tickets. Besides it will do away with
herding voters to the polls as has fire.
quently been done In this city. Under
the Austria. an system no whipper-in can
bring up a gang Of irresponsible voters to
the polls and as they pass in line have
their tickets dealt out to them by men
who have previously arranged the .pur-
chase of their vote.
Now in the eve of statehood is the
time to correct many glaring evils. We
want to start in well and no part of our
body pohtic requires more radical treat
ment than this subject of baretaced cor
ruption Of voters.

Fruits, to do their best work, should
be eaten either on an empty stomach
or simply with bread-never with veg
etables. In the morning, before the
fast of the night has been broken, they
r not only exceedingly refreshing,
but they serve as a natural stimulus to
the digestive organs. And to produce
their fullest, finest effect, they should
be ripe, sound, and every way of good
quality; moreover, they should be
eaten raw. What is better than a
bunch of luscious grapes, or a plate of
berries or cherries, on a summer
morning the first thing on sitting

DR.. Sara b. Chase is a great believer
in resting the brain. She said:
People die sooner from brain work
than they do from over physical work.
We ought not to be obliged to work
SO as TO kill ourselves. We can stand
a great deal more Of physical work If
we have proper conditions Of life than
we can brain work. The brain is a
very peculiaf- organ, and requires
more attention and car than perhaps
any other organ Of the body. II must
have plenty OF rest and plenty OF
change and recreation. The only
way TO rest the brain properly and
thoroughly is by taking sleep. If the
brain becomes overtaxed and weary
through a constant amount of work
and worry it must be rested by having
an entire change of scene and condi-
ton. When the brain has become
wearied the whole body becomes dis
organized, and for a man TO be in a
healthy condition his brain must be
strong and clear and active. The brain
is the most active and hard worked of
all the organs Of the body, and great
car must be taken that it is not over
taxed and overburdened. Students
particularly should avoid studying too
hard. Persons who are troubled with
insomnia are in a very dangerous con-
dition. There are many who obtain
only two or three hours sleep in a
night and yet feel comparatively well
and free from pain. They will, how
ever, break down very suddenly. This
is caused very often by their nerves
not being in a healthy condition, and
unless attended to at once may develop
into insanity-New York Mail and
Express.
