A Street-ear Suggestion.

The weary man, seated In crowded
Broadway street-car, who asked the
conductor how much he would have to
pay to secure his seat until he reached
his destination, offered food for refiec-
ton. Having paid the usual fare. five
cents, he was entitled to seat, legally,
but custom demands that he shall give
1t up to some woman whom the ser
wants OF the car company have eneour-
aged to press in when the car was al
ready crowded, by the cheering cry,
'.Plenty of room in front" Being tired
the gentleman was willing to pay some
thing extra to be able to hold his seat
without being looked upon as a brute
by the ladies unproVided with seats.
Why not run some parlor street-cars,
like the parlOr day cars on some of the
railroads, in which weary man or
woman can secure seat for the whole
journey by paying extra for the priYe-
ledge? Such people would willingly
pay double fare to insure a seat, with
the understanding that no more passen-
gers would be admitted on board than
there were seats for. The same scheme
might work on our elevated lines. We
are far behind Paris In the manner Of
accommodating patrons of tramSays
and the like. The law there will not
permit an omnibus or tramway car TO
take on more passengers than can be
seated. But people are not IN such a
laundering hurry in Paris as they are
IN New York. Texas Siftings.

Up to Last September.
A private letter from Bongalo, on the
Congo, gives, under date of Nov. 5,
1883. some information about Henry
nj. Stanley which has not yet appeared
in any of the published accounts of his
movements.
Stanley itsays, arrived at Urenia
Aug. az. with the carriers furnished by
Emin Pasha. The next day the four
white men who had accompanied him
also reached that point, Stanley wrote
"a letter 10 Tippoo lib. telling him. in
effect, that he came from Albert
Nyanza, where he joined Emin Pasha.
He found everything in good condition
there-Emin Pasha and Casati in good
health, and all their people well.
''He entreated Tippoo lib to accom-
pany him to Emin, saying that he
would wait for him at Urenia for ten
days and would start ON the eleventh
day with the goods he left there, and
NJ Benny, the last of the five Europe
ans, left with him (Bartletot having
been killed at Urenia, Jamison having
died at Bongalo Aug. 20. and Ward and
Root having returned to Europe). To
decide Tppoo lib to accompany
him he dwelt upon the great guam
tity of ivory he could bring back
all that was in Emin Pasha's posse
sion do not really think
Emin Pasha would have given Tippoo
his ivory, for Tippoo had nothing with
which to pay for it. II was probably
an artifice on Stanley's part, who had
one or two objects in view for which he
lad need of Tppoo's aid, and he thus
tried to persuade him. Tippoo lib
must have understood this, for he did
not accompany Stanley; but. like a
practical man and one who wished to
make something out Of Stanley's Jour
ney. he caused the explorer to be fol-
lowed at a distance by one of his devot-
ed lieutenants. d-Ben-Mohoed, who

Fight Between an Eagle and Ferret

A fishing party came to Mount
Vernon, Va, from the Capital. recent
ly, and, after viewing the Washington
estate and securing fragment Of the
famous cherry tree, part OF which Is
still ON sale, went several miles down
the river to tempt the finny tribe. The
atmosphere was so calm and the water
so smooth that scarcely a ripple was
visible upon its surface, except when
stirred by an occasional passing boat.
The sun was not shining, but the
weather was fair and the day in every
way delightful. The fishing was excel
lent. Yellow perch and pike were re-
ceived in abundance, two splendid cells
also being obtained.
Toward evening, when the piscatorial
sport was about to be abandoned for
the day and camp struck for the night,
an eagle was noticed approaching. bear
ing in his talons burden that appar-
emily worried it. When over the fish
ermen the birds eye weakened and a
drop Of blood was noticed to fall on the
canvas. A moment later the eagle be-
gan rapidly descending and soon feIl.tO
the ground. fastening to the spot, the
bird was found dying, yet firmly grasp
ing in its powerful talons large-sized
ferret as its prey. The animal was
fighting frantically for freedom, and
had killed its captor in the battle. The
eagle had evidently stolen march
upon its cunning victim, but had great
ly mistaken its game. The ferret was
held in such manner as to inflict upon
it no vital injury. It's head being en-
tirely at liberty, it had Iacerated its
captor in a terrible manner, and at
length killed it. The eagle was
monster, measuring four and half
feet from tip to Tip. The ferret was
promptly slaughtered by the fishermen.
The pair will be mounted in their war
like attitude.

Physical Health.

The interest taken in this country in
athletic sports may sometimes assume
an exaggerated form, but it is not to be
discouraged. The sound mind in the
sound body is still the sensible maxim.
The Greeks wisely train the body in
conjunction with intellectual pursuits,
and the Germans owe great debt to
Frederick Ludwig jain for his estab-
lishment of Gymnasia The present
greatness of Prussia is largely owing to
the Turner schools, although they were
suppressed at one time on the score of
a tendency to liberalism. The indom-
liable spirit which has ever animated
the English people has been kept alive
by field sports and physical exercises
generally, and the tendency to over
strained nervous organizations which
the American climate superinduces can
only be Offset by vigorous out-of-door
habits or some gymnastic training.
Walking, riding, shooting, swimming,
baseball, cricket, fencing, sparring,
and, indeed. the entire round Of manly
games involving physical culture, are
useful in keeping up hardy and de-
termined people, able to maintain with
their stout arms what their ancestors
have given them safe in keeping. Sound
thought, firm will and sound health are
nearly inseparable. II is certainly a
natural alliance. Texas Siftings.

Drinking Leather.

The Boston correspondent of the st.
Louis Globe-Dcmocrat is responsible
for the following story:
Thank, you, madam, but do not
put any milk in my tea" said we'll
known Boston physician the other
night at supper party, and then
added: 81 was never partial to leather
as an article Of diet. From the Arctic
explorers point Of view, it is some
times available for food. As for my
self, hope that / shall not soon be re-
duced to the necessity OF eating or
drinking it.
"My dear DOCTOR" responded the
hostess Of the occasion, smilingly,
'.ysu need not have milk nor cream
either in your tea II you do not wish.
Nor, hope, are you likely to be COM
PEELED to undertake q diet Of leather.
Pray pardon me, however, II / ask
what possible connection there can be
between the two?"
"A very intimate connection, let me
assure you, dear madam" he replied.
milk, as you are aware, is an animal
secretion. Tea contains a chemical
principle called tannin, which has o.
specific action upon the milk. Tho re-
suit IS substance which, to the analy-
sis Of the chemist, resembles leather.
Like leather, It is difficult OF digestion.
You will observe that the Chinese, who
first discovered the use Of tea, take no
milk in theirs. Perhaps it may be sup
posed that they know thing or two on
the subject"

lege, now rapidly nearing completion,
have any idea of its spaci0usness, sub

been attained, and especially on the
point of thorough ventilation which is
obtained through the large halls upon
each floor Steam-heating will be used
and provisions made for the convey
ance of hot and cold water into all the
rooms. The manner Of lighting,
whether electric or gas, has not as yet
been determined upon. From the
windows of the building some of the
finest views to be found any-wherem may

Providing Against Accidents.

On the La Crosse division of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
every precaution has been used to pre-
vent accident during the severe strain
on the road encampment week. A tele-
graph operator has been provided for
every place where there is side track.
Different kinds of danger signals will be
ready for use at all points, and every
section will be passed over constantly
during the night by a man with Ian
tern. No passenger train is allowed to
follow another until ten minutes have
elapsed since the first train started, the
trains all running under the block
system. Very few freight trains, ex-
cept those carrying perishable freight,
are running the. present week. The
company has spared no expense in pro-
tecting itself against accidents of all
kinds, and the precaution is to be great
ly commended.
