leave in the cold, and come arrangement
of this kind may be effected. The
Anti-Saloon party, which figured
so largely in the December election has
not decided whether it will endorse the
Republican ticket as it did then, or put
a separate ticket in the field. Its leaders
are waiting to see what kind of plank
the Republican platform will contain.
II it don't suit, they say they will put o
ticket in the field themselves.
The Democratic City Central Com
mittee met informally yesterday after
noon, but took no action, preferring to
wait until the Council had subdivided
the wards and called the election.

Well STONED.

An exciting incident stirred UP Spring
street about o'clock yesterday morning
for one of the huge wagon outfits of the
Hendrick Ice Company came dashing
along unattended. Owing to the crowded
condition of the streets it zee med as If q
big accident was imminent, but the
action of young man named Charles
Fargo soon ended the matter. At great
personal risk he jumped at the runaways
and held on to their brides until they
stopped. He was considerably bruised
by this undertaking and sustained many
injuries to his wearing apparel.

The "Tame Cat" Girl.

The reproach aimed by Americans
at the English girl. viz. that she is of
the ''tame cat" order, and that her
husband will trust her with his bills
or the darning of his socks but not
with his ideas, is as great misconcep-
ton, in many respects, as the English
estimate of American woman, but from
the American point of view it has some
foundation in fact. We need only
look at the life of the ordinary English
man to discover the foundation upon
which this exaggerated inference is
based. He always retains a tender
ness for his club, where he can Ventil-
ate among his fellow-men his ideas
political, moral, and social, to which,
it is quite true, he does not. as a rule,
treat his wife. If he has a male friend
he can pass hours upon hours in his
company without being bored, which,
unfortunately, does not always hap
pen in the case of his wife, and the
very fact that women are the first to
declare that no wife wants her hus-
band always with her is proof, more
or less, of a certain incompatability of
temperament and thought. Probably
it is on these and kindred grounds
that the American forms her opinion
of the average English girl. and. until
she gains more experience of English
habits, imagines herself strictly cor
rect. On the other hand, for fair and
impartial opinion of the American girl,
one must apply rather to an English
man than an Englishwoman, for he is
more on level with her in thought
and more in touch with her in idea. 1t
is no secret that the unDreiudiced edu-
Gated Englishman is Il general favorite
with American women. If he has
particle of discernment he very soon
discovers that American freedom is by
no means synonym for license, and
when he has fully assimilated that idea
he finds his relations with the "nice''
American girl most charming and COR
dial and fascinating. But in the matter
of proPrieiy of behavior he discovers
she is ineXorable, and that, so far from
being permitted more license of speech
or action, he in reality enjoys less

A People who Can't Make Fire:

1t is not often that explorers dis
cover savage people who are ignorant
of the art of producing fire. AS far as
is known, fire has been a necessity
even among the rudest savages for
many centuries. and it always excites
wonder when we hear at rare intervals
of people who, while enjoying the
blessings of fire, express themselves as
wholly ignorant of the methods of pro-
ducing it, and who imagine that if by
some calamity all their fires were
eXtinguished they could never kindle
them.
Such tribe has recently been met
by DR.. Finch during his travels in New
Guinea. He says the people in the
large villages that are buried in the
forests along the shores of Astrolabe
Bay know of no means by which they
can produce fire. 1t Is therefore a
duty devolving upon every member OF
the community to aid in preserving
fire. All their cooking is done out
side their huts in the open air. but in
the center of each hut is a fireplace,
and it is n crime to permit the fire tc
go out. They use a hard wood that
burns very slowly, and their aim is tC
keep IA good bed of Goals on which the
wood burns without bursting into
flame.
Dr. Finsch asked the natives if they
never lost their fire. He was told
that such calamity had occurred, and
that they would never have had fire
again if it had not been for very for
tunate circumstance. They know o
tribe in the mountains away from the
sea who possess the art of making fire,
which they guard as secret One
time the people were compelled to so
to these fircmakers for the spark that
would rekindle the dead embers in
their huts. They carried the fire for
many miles. They were determined
never again to be reduced to this ne
cessity, though it made them feel very
comfortable to think that they knew
where they could get fresh fire if they
lost their own.
II is to be presumed that these sim
ple-minded natives have now ceased to
guard the smouldering embers in their
hutS with such jealous care. A white
man has been among them, one of the
sort who brings blessings instead OF
evils in his train. They know now that
even if they never see n white man and
the wonderful little IRE sticks that he
carried with him again they can, with
the aid of friction and lender, be their
own liremakers.

| have seen and handled a pair of
tame rats belonging to some young
friends, and prettier, more playful and
more intelligent pets could not be inn
agined. They were accustomed to run
about on the table at meal times. They
never stole food; but when anything
was offered them they sat up on
their hind legs, held the morsel be-
tween their forcpaws, and ate it daint-
lily.
They were fond of game which
saw them play. The rats were put in-
to the boys cap, which was hung on
the hat-stand in the hall. The boy
and lis sister then went to the top of
the house and whistled. At the sound
of the whistle the rats jumped out of
the cap, scrambled to the floor, and
then ran uD the stairs and perched on
their owners shoulders.
The general idea of the rat is that it is
ar ill-savored animal. dirty in its per-
son, and revolving in its diet, whereas
it is delicately clean in person and
equally dainty in its food. 1t Is ever

Demand for Luxurious Cars.

:Tt is extraordinary" said con-
duclor on II Pennsylvania railway train
a day or two ago, show great the de-
ious forms of travelling. Within five
years the drawing-room ear has ceased
being Il luxury and has become ne
cesSity. At present we make mp two
trains day for Chicago aud Washing
ton entirely of parlor ears, and there
is, us rule, such II demand for the
seats that the company is very often
compelled to send the trains out in
sections. Formerly we used to put
one drawiug-room coach on an ordin
ary passenger train. Now there are
three of them on II siX-car train, and
these won't accommodate all the people
who apply for them.
"There is just this about it: There
is continuous demand for improved
Accommodations on railways as there is
on steamships, and the present passon-
ger coach is as far ahead of the one
used five years ago as the modern
vestibule train is in advance of an or
dinary string of cars. There is some
talk of uniforming the attendants on
the finest trains, with the exclusion of
conductor and brakeman, in livery.
There is precious little doubt about the
wisdom of the investment, either. for
the trains which charge the highest
premium on tickets now are the best
patronized. Rich people desire to keep
by themselves, somehow, and they're
willing to pay fer the fuR."-Nex

The Bachelors Eggs.

Scranton bachelor, who boards at
one of the hotels and rooms outside,
got so tired of eating stale eggs while
! ago that he thought he would see if he
couldn't change the programme lit
tie. So he bought three dozen new
laid eggs and took them to his lodg-
( lngs. and when he went to tea that
night he carried couple of the eggs
in his pocket and told the pleasant
faced waiter-girl to have them boiled
soft. They came back as hard as
rocks, and the bachelor boarder de-
clared that no one in that kitchen
knew enough to boil an egg. The
handsome waiter girl said she was
| sorry that the cook hadn't done as she
had ordered her TO, and she volun-
teered to have two other eggs boiled
soft, but the boarler told her she need
mt. The next morning he took two
more eggs over to the hotel and gave
special directions as to how they
should be boiled. and he had to swear
when he opened them, for they were
as hard as base-balls.
Atsupper that night he took three
eggs. got another girl to take his or
der, and gave the same directions.
Result; Three eggs as unyielding as
bullets. The bachelor said he guessed
1t was time for him to change his
boarding place, and he uttered other
unpleasant remarks regarding the iu-
terror management of the culinary de-
partment of the house. But he was
on hand the next morning, and he had
three nice large fresh eggs in his
pocket. Calling his favorite waiter
girl, he said:
''Now, l want you to open these
eggs, drop them in hot water and
poach them very soft, and, my dear, 1
want you stand by them and see that
they are cooked right"
She said she would, and away she
went, but in a minute or so she re-
turned looking sad and with the three
eggs in six halves on a dish.
81 am sorry, SIR she said, and her
light soprano voice trembled, ''but
these eggs were already boiled as
hard as they could be when l broke
them" and she placed them on the
table in front of the irate bachelor.
He smelled a rat right away, and he
left the table at once and started out
to verify his suspicious. His investi-
cations were finished by the middle of
the forenoon, and what he found out
was this: A married friend of his,
who lived in the house where the bach
eIor had his lodgings, is a practical
joker of the first order. He had taken
all of the eggs to his kitchen, boiled
them as hard as he could, and then
placed them back in the bachelors
basket
''lt's all right" said the bachelor to
another friend, ''but PlI lay for him
with a trick that'll make him hate
himself like satan for year and q
haIf.'1E,G.
