Work in Lecturinx.

A popular lecturer who. has appeared
before big audiences on hundreds OF
platforms during the past ten or twelve
years, says that lecturing is the hardest
way of earning living. The lecturer is
all the time exhausted with travel from
place to place by railroad or steamboat.
or stage coach or other conveyance. He
cannot get solid sleep any time. He
finds himself in uncomfortable quarters
in all sorts of hotels. He cannot get to
bed till nearly midnight after any lect-
ure. He is bothered with committees
and agents. He often finds that both the
audience and the receipts are light. The
lecturer here quoted says that he is worn
out down to the bones after few weeks
of lecturing, and that he never had as
exhausting work when he was a deck
hand aboard ship as he has had during
the years in which he has been on the
lecture platform. His nervous system
has been shattered by it.-New York

An Estimate of Carlyle.

ST never knew Carlyle" says the au-
thor of ..Glances of Great and Little
Men," except by sight. To tell the
truth, 1 did not greatly covet his ac-
quaintance in those Last days of his,
when alone l could have known him.
1 was even not without a certain dread
of this roaring apostle of taciturnity.
Once, however, finding myself sitting
opposite to him in Chelsea omnibus,
ventured to address him. 1 tried the
weather-the recognized conversational
aperient-but in this case it failed of its
usual effect He gave no answer, but
sat there, leaning on his staff in brood
ing silence and with introspective eyes,
until he reached his destination. When
he had got out, 1, affecting not to know
him, asked the conductor who he was.
The latter had touched his hat to him.
"'Oh, yessir, know him well enough.
E orfen rides in my bus. Els wot you
call a httery gent-writes books wot no.
body can understand
''The conductor paused, as if mentally
summing up from his superior stand
point-the footboard poor Carlyle's
characteristics, and then added, with a
touch, half of pity, half of contempt in
the voice:
les bit off his chump, like many
of those gents; but he amt bad sort if
you take him the right way"

Resistance of the Air to a Looomotive

Experiments on the French railways
show that the resistance of the atmos-
phere to the motion of highspeed trains
amounts often to half the total resistance.
Two engines, of which the resistance
was measured separately and found to
be 1913 pounds per ton at thirty-seven
miles per hour, were coupled together
and again tried. The resistance fell to
14.3 pounds per ton. The second engine
was masked by the first. 1t may be ar
gued from this that by suitable adap-
tation of the front of a locomotive, cleo
trical or otherwise, saving of from to
10 per cent. of the effective power could

is thriving, prosperous city
ITS TERRITORY
It is the supply city for extensive and rich ari
cultural grazing country, its trade reaching
far south Summer Lake, distance of two
hundred miles.
THE LARGEST WOOL MARKET
The rich grazing country along the eastern slope
the Cascades furnishes pasture for thousands
of sheep, the wool from which finds market here.
The Dalles is the largest original wool shipping
point in America, about 100000 pounds being
shipped last year.
ITS PRODUCTS.
The salmon fisheries the finest on the Columbia,
yielding this year revenue of ST. 100000 which
and will be more than doubled in the near future.
The products of the beautiful Kickital valley find
market here and the country south and east has this
year filed the warehouses and all available storage
places to overfowing with their products.
IT'S WEALTH

Actors Who Paint.

Speaking of people who paint, Edward
W. Kemble, the artist, said: 81 know
many actors who are artists with the
brush and pencil, and very fair artists at
that. Joseph Jefferson goes in for water
colors. Dixey draws queer caricatures,
and saw one of his eccentric drawings
on Parker house (Boston) bill of fare
only the other day. Louis Harrison, the
comedian, is rapid draughtsman. Tim
Murphy used to be house painter in
Washington, so he comes rightly by his
taste for pen and pencil. His dressing
room wherever he may be is covered
with daubs. roughly hut effectively done
in grease, paint and crayon. Lolita,
Minnie Maddern, Madeline Lucette and
Alice King Hamilton draw very neatly.
E. II. Sothern has made sketches which
Dan Frohman considers worthy of hang
ing framed in the lobby of the Lyceum
theatre. George Fawcett Rowe used to
go in for oils. Alexander Salvini, son OF
his father, has presented very neat

A COMPARISON.

That is a half dollar difference in
wages. and that half dollar represents.
in a comparison, the board, lodging, etc..
of the servants OF course, no woman
can live on fifty cents a week. 1t takes
her whole 81 to pay for board and lodg-
lngs if she gives anything like proper
nourishment to her body. So it amounts
to just this: At the end of week the
servant has $3.50 to lay by, while the
'saleslady" has not penny.
AS to lodging. the average servant has
her own little room, nicely furnished
and heated in winter. The .'saleslady,'' -
if she boards, has cold room at the top
of the house, shared by three or forr
other >unfortunates. The latter works
on an average of ten hours day, while
in the holiday season she works as much
as sixteen hours, and never does penny
of extra pay reach her pocket.
The servant has no longer hours, and
she can rest during great part of them,
and. besides, has her two or three ''even-
ings off" during the week. Her work,
on the whole, is much lighter, and she
does not know what fines are. If she
falls i'll. in good family, she receives
the same cordial attention that her mis-
attentions. And her wages go on all the
time
But how about the ''saleslady" up in
the top of the boarding house if she
should get sick? Well, unless she is
absolutely at the point of death she is
packed off to hospital when the time
for which she has paid her board has
expired But even if she is aIlowed to
remain there till she gets well, she re-
sumes her work with her trunk under
bondage to the landlady, and with a,
to her, heavy debt staring her in the
face. Is it any wonder that many a
naturally good girl seeks escape from
such troubles In the concert halls?
And is it any wonder that the comfort
able servant girl generally lends her
career Of working for others by marry
ing an honest man and settling down in
a comfortable home.-New York Com
