II is n great thing to be ready

other day. Over at the depot in Canal
street they have an information bu-
reau," and neat sign over the win
dow announces the fact. 1t is a very
clever idea, since great many people
frequently want to know something
about the town or about the train, but
it is the only one in town. and II
strikes sophisticated people as very
queer.
saw young fellow look at the
sign the other day and smile. Then
he went up TO the window, and | knew
he was going to be funny at the bu-
reau mans expense. l edged up
carclessly and heard him ask:
"What kind have you got?"
"What kind of WHAT" asked the
bureau man.
"kind of information" said the
flippant young man.
The bureau man "tumbled" in a
second. He saw he had run against a

face

The humorist seemed to be disap-
pointed in some way, for he mumbled
something and sneaked away, looking
as crushed as binana-peel under a
two-hundred-pound man's boot.
| asked the man at the window if he
had many customers of this kind. He
laughed and said that tho travelling
men usually had some fun with him
when they had lime.

HIstorr Of Sleeping Car.

The first sleeping-car, says the Rail
way Age. was invented by Theodore
I. Woodruff, who got up his model in
the Office of James Tillinghast, at
Rome, n. Y, In 1854, thu latter at
that time being in the service of the
Rome and Watertown Railroad. Mr..
Woodruff endeayored TO interest Mr..
Tillinghast sufficiently in his inven-
tion TO advance the cost of securing
patent from the Government, but he
did not have sufficient faith in his
possibilities, and declined.
The model which he constructed in
Mr.. Tillinghast's Office was carried to
Springfield, Mass, in an old-fashioned
bandanna handkerchief, and submitted
to Mr.. Watson, the car builder, who,
Notwithstanding an almost universal
expression of disapproval by his en-
ployes, built a trial car which made its
first trip on the N. Y. Central and
Rome and Western Railroads, and
later was taken to Cleveland, Cincin-
natl and other Western cities. This
car afterward became the property of
the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad Com
pany, on whose line it was regularly
run.
Woodruff sold the right TO build and
use his sleeper on the New York Cen
trail Railroad to Mr.. Webster Wagner,
and on the Buffalo & Erie road TO Mr..
George Gates. The Coates" sleepers
ran from 1859 to 1873, when they also
passed into Wagner's hands. Pullman
sleepers were introduced in 1864 or
1865, he having made a number Of i'm
portant improvements on the produc-
tons of his predecessors. 1t was
about 1862 that Wagner and Gates
built their first car, having the same
general features as those now used.

Market for American Farm Machinery.

Writing from Cadiz, United States
Consul Turner states that he has un-
bounded faith IN the fact that Spain is
an excellent market for the introduce
ton of American farm machinery. At
present the most primitive methods
are pursued by the Spanish farmers,
and the implements used arc still those
which were employed In the days of
Ruth and Boar.
The reaping hook is used for cut
ting, the grain is trodden out by
horses, and the chaff is separated by
throwing it and the grain into the air;
everything, in fact, is on the most
primitive lines. There arc indications
of progress, no viewer; but the farmers
have to proceed cautiously, owing to
the laborers being opposed to the in
PRODUCTION of machinery. So far En-
glish and German tools take the lead.

The turning point
in woman's life brings peculiar
weaknesses and ailments. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription
brings relief and cure. 1t is
powerful, invigorating, restorative
tonic and nervine. 1t imparts
strength to the whole system in
general, and to the uterine organs
and appendages in particular.

cate women need it. It's legiti-
mate medicine purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless. It's guaranteed
to give satisfaction in every case, or
money refunded. Nothing else does
as much. You only pay for the
good you get. Can you ask more?
AS a regulator and promoter of
functional action, at that critical
period of change from girlhood to
womanhood, "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" is a perfectly safe remedial
agent, and can produce only good
results. 1t is equally efficacious and
valuable in its effects when taken
for those disorders and derange-
ments incident to that later and
most critical period, known as "The
Change of Life"
