5000 PER ANNUM
Tho Century Club.


No other club in New York is at all
like the Century. 1t is not swell or
fashionable; Ii is not famous for its cuis-
inc, its furniture or its entertainments;
but it is delightful by reason of the artis-
tic and literary atmosphere that prevades
the place. Half the excellent pictures
on the walls were painted by members
of the club, half the books in the library
were written by members. The rooms
are all large, and most of them a little
dark. Open wood fires make the place
cosy. The dining room has one great
table, where all who come dine and chat.
The man next you may be a literary
parsonage, professor from Yale, or an
artist with white hair and reputation.
Richard Henry Stoddard comes in and
speaks in voice that no other man dare
use in the club house. At the luncheon
there is a brazier at command, and the
members may, if they will, and as they
often do, concoct what dish they choose.
There is no show, no fuss, no array of
servants. Scores of members are almost
in rebellion at the prospect of leaving
the old house. Some have threatened in
angry moments to organize new club
and stay, but nothing of the sort will
happen. and the quiet dignity of the Cen
tury will be transferred to the splendors
of an uptown club house.-New York

Streets and Sidewalks in Berlin.

The smoothness of tho pavements In
Berlin affords immense relief in dimin-
ishing the confusing noise and jar of the
streets. Waking early in the morning
at a hotel in the center of the business
section, one perceives no rattling of
wagons, only the clatter of the horses
hoofs, so that it seems as if cavalry regi-
ments were continually passing. The
smooth streets have also made cycling
very popular, and tricycles are extern
sively used for business purposes. The
broad sidewalks are laid with tagging
in the center, and between that and the
curbstone are paved with small, mosaic
like stones that form smooth surface,
and are easily removed and replaced.
Beneath this space are laid the gas pipes,
telegraph and electric light wires, pneu-
matte tubes, ETC., SO that in laying or re.
pairing these the street pavement is not
disturbed. The wires of the arc lights,
as well as Of the incandescent, all are
carried underground, and in Berlin
there are not to be seen the unsightly
poles that SO disfigure the streets in
Mexican cities.-Cor. Mexican Financier,

Superstition. Railroad Men.

Another tragic point on the Houston
and Texas railrood is Elm creek bridge,
1t is in creek bottom, a few miles south
of Corsicana, where convict employed
in the construction of the road was kill
ed while attempting to escape. The tra-
dition is that the unfortunate man was
crammed in water barrel, head down,
and buried in scandalous haste. The SUI
perstitious think they can see his misty
ghost as it fits across the track in front
of the engine, ominous of evil. Here &C.
cident after accident has occurred; many
engineers and flremen have lost their
lives or been crippled for good, and
thousands of dollars worth of rolling
stock and merchandise has been destroy
ed. The train men have therefore
changed the name Of the place to Bad
Medicine, and declare that these calami-
ties will be perpetual until the convict is
exhumed and buried horizontally, 80 as
to destroy his chances to kick at the
road which cost him his life here below.
