should be washed-sheets, pillow

articles. Each car has two complete
outfits of these things, which are
used alternately. one being laundried,
aired and packed while the other is on
the road.
"Then, when the process is COM
plete, the car has to be retrimmed, by
the relaying of carpets and oil cloths;
putting in place of the springs, mat

of pillows, linen and curtains, and,
last of ALL the thorough washing out
of the water-tanks, and refilling them
with fresh water and ice. The last
thing is never done until the final mo-
ment when the car is about to be drawn

the railroad people, who are respon-

a curious fruit like the coco-de-mer;

supernatural. A regular worship. as

Professor Marsh recently read a paper
before a scientific body On the size of the
brain in extinct animals, in which came
out the remarkable fact that in the race
for life the survival of any particular
group of animals, depended on the size of
their brain as compared with that of their
contemporaries of the same class Then.
as now, brains won the day, and the brain
of animals crushed out of existence was
always found to be small as compared
with that of those OUTLYING them. The
law that the weakest SO to the wall in the
struggle of nature seems to mean the
weakest in brain power.

Gov. Bulkeley's Dignity.

Gov. Bulkeley. of Connecticut, is a man
who has a great deal Of dignity. and he is
very careful Of It, He was asked by Henry
c. Bowen to act as president of the day at
his Woodstock Fourth Of July celebration,
and he announced his willingness to do so.
Mr. Bowen has made 1t point for several
years to have the biggest sort of time at
his Connecticut home on the anniversary of
the declaration Of independence. This year
he invited the President and great many
other distinguished guests, and they &C
cepted.
day or two ago Mr.. Bowen informed
Gov. Buckley that he had selected Senator
Hawley to introduce the President when it
came the Presidents turn to make a speech
Mr.. Bowen's celebrations consist chiefly
in speeches which are always given to the
press-and that, therefore, he would be re-
lieved of that duty. 1t is fair to suppose
that the governor had spent many weary
hours in preparing a speech-a speech
that would be the greatest effort
Of his life-and when he found
that his time had been wasted, and that he
had been reduced to the position of figure
had right to be. The chance t. make a
speech introducing the President was worth
something. The speech would be tele-
graphed all over the country, and would
bring his name prominently before the pub
lie IN connection with that of the President
The governor informed Mr.. Bowen that
IL he was not to eIjoy the honor which
rlghtfully belonged to the position of pre-
siding officer, he did not care to take part in
his little glorification. He knew what was
due TO his dignity, and he proposed to see
that it was respected. The governor an
nounced his purpose to have a Fourth of
July celebration of his own.
This independent and self-respecting
course Of the governor seems to have i'm
pressed Mr.. Bowen with the idea that he
had made mistake, which he appears to
have promptly corrected, as the governor
was present at the celebration and intro
duced the President.

Mans Will Power.
From the Ne,o York Tribune.

from The NeiO York Tribune.
Three stories were told over after-dinner
cigars the other day, showing the power of
mans will. One was a young officer in the
English army, who was peculiarly stubborn
and lrascible. He had been confined to his bed
after severe attack of the heart and was un-
able to move. His physician asked one of his
felow-ofhcers to warn him that he would never
get out of bed again, that he might arrange his
affairs before death. When the sick man was
told what the doctor had said, he arose in bed
eXcltedly and said: 81 will never get UP again.
Ell: will walk to the doctor myself and show
him. He jumped to the floor, walked across
the room, and fell dead. The other was about
sheriff out west, who, when
arrestlng man was stabbed through the heart
lie seized the man by the shoulders after the
blade had struck him, pressed him to the
ground, drew his revolver, and deliberately
thrustlng 1t down the struggling prisoners
throat, pulled the trigger at the instant he HIM
self died. The third story was regarding an
other officer who was hunting down a thief
The man thought he had given his pursuer the
slip but just as he entered one door of a rail
road car, the officer appeared in the other. The
thlef instantly fired, the bullet penetrating his
pursuer s brain. The officer, however returned
the shot, bringing his man to the ground. He
theu dragged himself along the aisle of the car,
firing as he crawled. until his revolver was
empty. He was dead when he was picked up a
second after he ceased to shoot.

The Persian minister to this country is
about to go to London to see the shah. who

whether he will return to Washington or
not. He says he feels very Indignant at the
attacks of the American press upon the
shah. Some time ago he was reported to
have said that the shah could not visit
America, as there was no one here with
rank enough to receive him. The news
papers of this country made some facetious
remarks, based upon that assertion. and
