Rapid Transit.

Until the time arrives when electric

that now consumes, comparatively
speaking, but few hours. When tho
old four-in-hand coach was succeeded
by the locomotive and cars propelled by

TO sixty miles an hour, and in some

On his journey, then surely fast travel

can tell in the near future, owing to the
discoveries in electricity, to what rate
Of speed we may attain, in flying over
the rails in perfect comfort and almost
complete immunity from accident. At
Jhe present time however, the railroad
system of this country is almost perfect
in its organization. Perhaps nowhere
is this more fully exemplitied than in
he Northwest nor any place where the
comfort and safety of the traveller is
more carefully watched over. Notice
ably so is this the case of the officials OF

He Had. Indeed.

The Man About Town of the St.
Louis Republic has a friend who is
decidedly convivial in his habits. but
who has at the same time wholesome
regard for his wife's opinions. The
wife is most estimable lady, but in
clined to deal rather severely with her
husbands shortcomings, which lead
him at times to practice deception In
order TO avoid the reprimand which
awaits him when he has strayed from
the paths of domestic duty.
A few evenings ago he CHANGED
across some friends on pleasure bent,
and he, forgetful of home ties drank
long and deep. The beverage was
brandy, for whose strength he has q
great weakness. After numerous pota-
tions he hied him to t shionable res
taurant, and before starting for home
RECALLED himself with lucious beef
steak Of huge proportions. This done
he heaved sigh and turned his face
homeward, when it. suddenly occurred to
him that it might be we'll to disguise
the fumes OF the brandy with little
mixture of spice and lemon peel-not
that he feared the discovery of his de-
linquencies. but just to prevent
any embarrassing questions. Happy
thought! The lemon juice and the spice
were soon disposed OF, and he fastened
home, and was soon ensconced in big
chair talking over the events OF the
day with his wife. The latter stirred
a time or two, and, finally fixing her
gaze intently on him, said: John, 1
believe, on my soul, you have been
eating mince pie"

The Name of Iowa.

The state derives its name from the
tribe known now as the Iowa tribe
Much learning, or at least research,
has been wasted in the attempt TO
show the photography and definition
of this word among the Indians them
selves. While " ashington Irving, with
the license allowable to an imagin.
alive writer, states that the meaning
Of the word is beautiful, and recounts
the incident by which that phrase
was first applied TO the country, saying
that the tribe who in their wanderings
arrived at the highest point in the
Iowa prairies, looking over the vas
expanse of country Uninterrupted by
hills or swamps, involuntarily uttered
the word Iowa." meaning beautiful
But probably better authority
for the meaning of the wori
was MIR. Antoine lie Claire, s
half breed Of the Sac and Fox nations
who always asserted humorously tha'
he was the first white man born il
Iowa, though his mother was an In
dian. He was employed for man,
years as an interpreter in their deal
ings- with the various Indian tribes
His definition of tho word was, Here
is the spot--tbis is the pl,ce-to dwell
in peace" 1t is very certain, how
ever, that the name of the state, AMI
the name OF one of its secondary riv
ers, running through large part o
! the center'of the state, is derived from
the name OF the tribe. -Harper's Mag

70 PLUNGE OVER THE FALLS.
rhe Craft Built by Carlisle Graham
for His Perilous Trip.

for His Perilous Trip.
Carlisle d. Graham, the cooper. who
was the first to rob the whirlpool OF
It's death-dealing notoriety by con-
tructing barrel in which he made
repeated trips through the gorge, has
always had an ambition to make the
earful plunge over the Horseshoe or
Canadian Falls in safety. With this
object in view he has built with his
own hands peculiar looking craft,
which is best called barrel-boat
In length it is little short of twelve
eet, and is made of heavy inch-and-a-
quarter oak slaves. The heads are
very strong. The circumference Of tho
ends Is about tifty-fve inches, while at
The center it is about eleven feet. Sur
founding the vessel are twenty-four
strong iron hoops or bands. Along
The bottom from end to end runs a keel
band OF iron, two inches wide by one
half inch in thickness. Close on either
side runs another iron strip one and
,ne-half by one-fourth, inch, that run
along on either side q short distance
rom the top.
The ends OF the craft are painted
white and the lower half of the body
black. Longitudinally through the
center runs a strip OF white three
inches wide, and at tho forward end
appears the name he has seen fit to
give 1.-THE World" The upper
part is painted bright red, the hoops
and strips being black. The barrel
boat appears quite nicely dressed and
has a decidedly strong look.
The inside of this pee uliar craft is
divided into three compartments. and
on the top is separate manhole for
entering each one. The one through
which the center compartment is
reached projects about four inches and
Two iron hoops run around it. The
covers of all three of these manholes
bit closely and are water-tight.
Inside the main chamber there is
toOAh lOL loui VI iiioiO POI oOhS.
Through the side OF this compartment
runs a small shaft, held firmly by
brass plate on both inside and outside.
This shaft is designed to work paddles
to be attached to the outside SO as to
direct it to tho desired spot on the
margin of the falls where it is thought
most safe to make the plunge. The
compartments arc separated by strong
bulkheads.
In the forward head of the barrel
boat is little window of heavy glass,
two inches long by one inch wide.
Similar peepholes are found on either
side at the center, and also in the front
and rear of the side of the entrance to
the main compartment. In the rear
head are two rings in which it is in.
tended to set rudder to be operated
by lines reaching to the center cham.
Der.
The weight OF the boat is about five
hundred and forty pounds. 1t is in
this boat that Graham has announced
his intention of making the plunge over
the cataract. Buffalo Courier.
