DRIVING IN LONDON.
Where They Keep to the Left Instead O
 the Right.


 Where They Keep to the Left Instead oi
 the Right
 England is the only place know ot where they drive to the left English drivers say that by sitting on the right and driving to the left they can better watch the hubs of approaching vehicles, and thus prevent collisions. don't ex- actly understand this, says writer in the Home Journal, but it is the explan- ation they give for driving to the left.
 Quick-going vehicles will turn cor ner sharply, but the driver raises his whip to notify the vehicle in his imme- diate rear that he is about to turn. "Cabbies" are moro considerate con corning fcllow-drivers than they are thoughtful about the lives and limbs of pedestrians. All their attention is given to the roadway; pedestrians must look out for themselves or be run over. That is why so many of the London police are engaged solely in attending to street traffic. Yet, with all their vigi- lance. more accidents occur in London, proportionatcly, than elsewhere. Lon don drivers are polite and very civil to each other. If an obstruction appears in front of horse, or if for any reason he is obliged to suddenly slow up, the driver will immediately notify the driver in the rear by holding out hori. zontally his left arm, and this sign is passed down from one driver to another until the very end of the line of blocked vehicles is reached.

WOODCHUCKS AS CLIMBERS.
The Fact Established That They Can and
 Do Climb Trees.

'o
 Some people have long asserted that the woodchuck can climb trees as read fly as the bear can, and that in the early summer they habitually seek the branches of apple and other fruit trees to feed on the tender and juicy young leaves This assertion has been ridi- culed by others who say that it is i'm possible for d woodchucls to climb a tree, the animal not being physically capable of performing such q feat. That the woodchuck can and does climb trees, however, was demon ,trated in a most unmistaEable manner in an eastern village a few days ago. R. Beck, president of the Hammonds- port (N. Y.) board of education, was sitting in the door in the rear of store when he saw big woodchuck come stealing along a gravelly knoll across the creek, not more than hundred yards distant. The woodchuck stopped at the foot of tree, inspected it for a moment and then climbed it with the ease of squirrel, but going up as a bear climbs tree. Beck called others to witness the sight. The woodchuck did not remain long in the tree, and came down, letting itselt down trump first. It then went up another tree. where it could be seen making feast on the tender leaves. After enjoying the novel sight for some time citizen got his rifle and picked the woodchuck from it's perch. The animal was very fat, weighing nearly twenty pounds.

Twn-StOried CarN.

A novel style of observatory has been devised by an ingenious Manitoban who is of the opinion that the scenery of this country is such that passengers on railroad ought to have better facil- ities for seeing it. Three or four sec tions of car roof are raised to height of twelve to eighteen inches above the ordinary level, forming sort of "con- ming tower" the sides of which are glazed Second-story seats are pro- vided in these sections where passengers can sit and enjoy the scenery in any di' rection. If perfectly heated and ven tilated such car would be most desir- able, but it is a question whether the added weight in the upper part of the ear would affect it's safety and whether the considerable motion in swinging round curves or running over rough tracks would not affect many travellers very unpleasantly.

tTcli His Ground.

According to local paper, Lancaster Pa, had visitor who believes in stand inp up for his rights as pedestrian. He was commercial drummer, and was making for railroad station when he encountered hack standing on the street crossing He refused to walk around the vehicle, and called to ;omc passers-by to send him poilce' man that the way m.cht be cleared. No bluecoat appeared, so he checked his grip at the station and returned to to the crossing, declaring that he would finger there until the carriage was moved. He did so, too, though 1t took him an hour and half in all, and he missed his train.

THE CARS SLeUTH HOUND.
A Moscow Mechanic Who Ferreted On,
 Nihilist Ilots.

A Moscow Mechanic Who Ferreted Out
 Nihilist Plots.
 Michael Lenz was, a few years ago, one of the most famous of the Russian political detectives. He was, says the Albany Press, a merchant in Moscow in 1877, and was engaged as a special con stable when the Emperor Alexander visited that city to witness the opening of the Alexander hospital. Lenz heard, or claimed to have heard, conversation between two women indicating the ex- istence of plot against the czar. He hurried with his information to the pre- feet of police, and the two women were tracked and taken into custody.
 One of them proved to be valuable prisoner, although there was nothing of a dangerous character found in their possession when arrested. Lenz was ire qucntly called upon for service in trac- ing alleged conspiracies, and did his work so satisfactorily that he was en- gagged as a regular employe, and grad ually promoted to be chief of the detec- tives of the secret police.
 To Lcnz was due the detection of So- phia Grunsburg, the youl wom ,n put to death few months ago for being cn. gagged in a nihilist plot He is said to have no scruples in his methods, and in one case, that of Maria Spiranti, he courted the woman full year as q lover, and at length pretended to go through the marriage ceremony in order to win her confidence.
 He got her confidence and also batch of nihilist revelations that undoubtedly placed in the hands of the Russian DO. lice the key to the whul" system of nihilsm in Russia and abroad as it ex . isted two years ago.

"CRACkllNG" BREAD.
ihe Deinsion Under Which Col. Colquit
 Dt vOured q EruIt a,,ke

The Washington correspondcnt of the St. Louis Republic is r sponsible for this story, which he credits Co Col. John B. Cary, of Richmond, and says it was told m the rooms of the southern society at New York recently:
 Now, you must understand" Col. 'ary began, what 'cracatiu rs' are to appreciate this story. 'Crau.;liugs' are small brown particles of pork left over from that part of the hog used in mak- ing lard. In the south 'cracklings' are mixed with meal in making cornbread and the mixture very closely resembles raisin bread. Now, to get down to my story, It was just after the fall of Richmond. and was making my way home as best could, when suddcnly ran right up against Col. Colquitt, of Georgia. Now, 1 knew Col. Colquitt pretty well, and, as he looked half starved, invited him to share the hos pitality of my home for a few days. We reached home at dinner time. had not been home before for two years, and, of course, the fatted calf was killed. For dinner we had salt pork and potatoes in profusion, and Colquitt said never word. He had lasted for probably week and he just 'waded in '
 Finally my mother brought up some pound cake and fruit cake which l knew she had been saving for eighteen months. Wien she passed the fruit cake to Colquitt he stood not upon cer- emony, but helped himself. He ate one slice, two, three, four, five, six, and mother fairly wept when he made a motion to take the seventh. She courteously arose at this point and said: Colonel, perhaps you would prefer some pound cake Colquitt looked at the rich pound cake moment, and then replied in his most gallant manner: No, thankee, madam; have lived on corn bread, and little of that, so long that "crackling" bread is as much of luxu- ry as care for Colquitt had actually eaten half of that fruit cake under the impression that it was cracking bread. He was too hungry to notice the diff ference"

HOW SWEoEs MOURN.
No Complaint, No Sign of Grief on the
 Part of Bereaved Ones.

It is remarkable how forciyners dom- icilcd in this country still clins to their native customs. This is especially true when they are congregated in large numbers. The single German, French man or Norwegian who has made his home in some portion of this land of liberty may still adhere to his oddities and habits of old, but he does not meet with the necessary encouragement from his fellows, and probably finds that often ridicule takes the place of the ex- pectedapprobation.
 Last summer a field hand on one of the farms in North Dakota was struck by lightning and instantly killed. The proprietor of the farm notified the parents of the unfortunate Swede of their sons fate. They were an old couple who own and farmed one of those quarter-section tracts that Uncle sam gives away so lavishly. They had been in this country for many years, their son was born here, and yet, when it came to the solcmnity of burial, they reverted at once to the memories of their native land and its customs.
 The parents did not even go to view the body nor attend to its preparation for the grave, says the Illustrated American. Friends brought it home in an ordinary farm wagon, and then, in stead of carrying it into the house, placed the remains upon wide plank resting on two upturned barrels in the stable. Horses grew restive as they all ways will when placed near corpse. The cattle forgot to muach their hay, and covered back in the stalls, show ing their realization that something un- usual was happening. All this while the dead boys parents were busy with in doors donning their best apparel; the aged mother even hunted up an old hair trunk from the depth of which an odd and peculiar sort of miter was taken, decorated with ribbons of all possible and impossible colors. This she solemnly placed upon her head, as she had seen it done in the faraway nome, so long ago, near the North Cape.
 They then took chairs, side by side, in their living-room and waited.
 After awhile friends arrived, many of them WSlTlllis ONltlS anu Sll'lS Ol COSluillt brought from over the ocean scores of years ago.
 Then all, excepting the parents, ad- iourncd to thN stable, collecting around the body of Ie dead man, where re- ireshments were served, and an occa- ,ional low, wailing song was chanted. After this they proceeded to the burial ground ten miles away, and the last sad rites were performed after the same simple manner.
 StranTcst of all, the two beings most interested still sat within doors, in sol chm silence, decorated with their quaint relies of dress, They declined to ac- company the funeral eortege, and hours afterward, when the mourners and friends had returned, were sitting i'm movable as though spellbcund. Supper for the entire assemblage concluded this rather ghostly performance, but the old people who had lost their boy still sat silently as before, without an expression of complaint or plea for sym pathy.
