cries, at which several costume quad.
rifles were to be danced. Madame la
Duchesse de Berri had undertaken to
get up a Louis XIV. quadrille, and
was seeking everywhere-had sought
everywhere in vain-for fans of that
period. Suddenly some one remem-
bered having seen some old fans in the
shop window of a perfumer named
Vanier, who lived in the Rue Caumar
tin. Yanier had collected old fans for
some time as an amateur. His fans
were taken to the palace; in the quad
rifle they created a Juror, and were
all purchased. The Duchesse de Berri's
ball began the renaissance OF the fan.

FRENCH SLEEPING-CARS.
They Are Not Up to the Standard of Our
Pullman or Wagner Coaches.

They Are Not Up to the Standard of Our
Pullman or Wagner Coaches.
The charge for a bed in the sleeping
cars from Basic to Calais, is about 10
francs, and from Basic to Paris, for
some occult reason, francs more. By
one of those extraordinary arrange
ments that can exist only in countries
where nobody trusts any body, and
every body is suspected by every body
else, even the unfortunate traveller who
has hired bed at 9:15 is not allowed
to turn into it until 11:30, the reason
assigned being that at the French
frontier the small baggage must be
examined, and if people were allowed
to turn in before the examination
took place there is no saying what
amount of tobacco and laces and the
rest of it might not be secreted in or
under the bed by the tourist or by the
servants of the sleeping-car company.
When, however, the conventional GER
emonial of affirming that you have
''nothing to declare" has been gone
through and your dressing-bag has
been defaced by hieroglyphics in white
chalk, then the operation of bed-mall-
ing in the wagon-lits commences. Any
one who has watched it will be disposed
to eXclaim, with Macbeth: ''Sleep nc
more" In a small and sometimes
filthy den narrow cushions and hard
pillows of hoar antiquity are prefunc.
torily covered with shabby rug and
a sheet, and under covering of a SIM
! liar character the traveller who has
paid more than FL for this eXtraor-
binary indulgence is invited to betake
/ himself to slumber. If he happens to
have travelling companion they can
procure the luxury, such as it is, OF
privacy, though one of them. on the
Dogberry principle, must needs sleep
on the upper shelf, which is an cXper-
fence several degrees more painful
than lying on the lower one. If the
number of passengers be not equal tc
the number of beds they will be able,
by bribing the person in charge, to gel
a four-bed compartment, and thus both
will avoid the torture of being sus.
pended from the ceiling.
AS rule these vacant compartments
are to be had by tipping the dirty Of
fetal in charge of them and thus, per-
haps, for % shillings apiece two people
can secure the mitigation of misery we
have described. One of the main in.
ducements to many people to have re
course to wagon-lit is the belief that
at any rate in the morning they will be
able to have "a good wash" and will
thus emerge from the train the simula
ton of civilized being instead of al

Morning throws fuller light on thi:
pleasing anticipation. As some of oul
correspondents point out, the "lavato

between Basic and Calais and between

ELECTRIC MOTORS.
They Will Soon Take the Place of Steam
Locomotives.


Locomotives.
The practical use of electricity DIS a
motive power during the past few years
has demonstrated that in the no dis
tant future it will, to a considerable ex.
tent, supplant steam as the principal
agent in maintaining and fostering hui
man industry. Although electricity is
still but partially understood, and is
far from being under complete control
of those who use it, still the knowledge
of its powers has reached a stage
where they can be successfully put to a
thousand uses.
Electricity now moves all classes OF
small machinery, such as fans, eleva-
tors, printing presses, street cars and
other mechanical chef d'Guvres OF
mans ingenuity. Judging from the
progress steam has made since its in
PRODUCTION less than hundred years
ago, there is every reason to believe
that electricity will reach an even
greater degree of development.
AS u matter of fact electricity when
it shall become thoroughly suhjugated
to mans will. will render possible the
accomplishment of things that are
now but mere fanciful dreams. When
Jules Verne, that inimitable creator OF
fantastic things, wrote his FORTY
Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,
and described a vessel that Travelled
beneath the waves by the aid of cleo
trical machinery and was Illuminated
by electric lights, he little imagined
that the time would so soon come when
his purely fanciful romance, concocted
merely to please the lovers of fiction
would become possibility. The in
vention of the storage battery and the
perfecting of the electric light seem tC
indicate that the submerged ship Of
Verne" is now no more an impossi.
bility.
Modern invention has opened up the
possibility of electric motors to do the
work of the cannon ball. trains that
are now the wonder of the time. That
the competition of electricity in rum
ming railway trains is looked for in
the near future is proven by the actual
existence of companies controlling
patents that are expected to put cleo
tricity in service on railroads. Steam
seems now to have almost reached the
limit of it's power in increasing the
speed of trains and engines have
grown in consequence of proportions
that in reason permit of but little
further increase; but eleS!ricity. set.
ting at naught as it does all questions
of bulk and weight, promises to do in
an unknown degree what steam seems
incapable of doing. The powerful

MODIFICATION OF SLEEP.
Condition Under Whiei, Sound Ceases t
BE u Stimulus.

Condition Under Which Sound Ceases to
BE Stimulus.
Sleep is much modified by habit.
Thus. an old artillery man often enjoys
tranquil repose while the cannon are
laundering around him; an engineer
las been known to fall asleep within a
boiler while his fellows were beating
it on the outside with their ponderous
hammers; and the repose of miller is
nowise incommoded by the noise of his
mill. Sound ceases to be stimulus
TO such men, and what would have
proved an inexpressible annoyance to
others is by them altogether UNDECIDED.
1t is common for soldiers to sleep on
horseback and coachmen on their
coaches. During the battle of the Nile
some boys were so exhausted that they
Tell asleep on the deck amid the deaf
ening thunder of that dreadful engage
ment.
Nay, silence itself may become a
stimulus, while sound ceases to be so.
Thus, miller being very i'll his mill
was stopped that he might not be dis
;urbed by its noise; hut this, SO far
rom inducing sleep, prevented it alto
gether, and it did not take place till
,he mill was set a-going again. For
,he same reason the manager OF some
vast iron-wcrlks, who slept close to
hem amid the incessant din of ham
ners, forges and blast furnaces, would
awake if there was any cessation of the
noise during the night. To carry the
Illustration still further, it has been
noticed that a person who falls asleep
near u church, the bell OF which is
.inging. may hear the sound during the
whole of his slumber, and be neverthe-
ess aroused by its sudden cessation.
Here the sleep must be imperfect, 9TH
srwise he would be insensible to the
sound; the noise of the bell was no
stimulus; it was its cessation, which,
~ breaking the monotony, became so
md caused the sleeper to AWAKEN.
