ed some fifteen or twenty times from
England to the Continent, and had al
ways been indisposed. Once, travel
ling quickly from an out-of-the-way
part OF Europe, and having no oppor-
tunlty or inclination to take food for
some twenty-four hours, arrived on
board a. steamer at Ostend leaving
for England. l then took a small
meal OF bread, meat (cold), and stout,
and was, much to my surprise, for the
first time not troubled with the slight-
est indications of NAL de mer. Since
then [ have always, on going on, a
voyage, carried out the same plan, i. e.,
taken little ornothing to eat for about
twenty-four hours before leaving, and
lmmediately on arriving on board
with a good, healthy appetite, taken
small meal of bread, cold meat, and
stout, and the happy result has been
that l have never again been troubled
with sickness. People starting for a
voyage, as rule, take a hearty
meal with their friends, and if they
are all inclined to be bilious or have
weak stomachs, the natural result is
sea-slckness. | may add that, after
taking the small meal on board, I lie
down on q sofa or bunk for half an

THE CARS sHoT-PRooF CAR.
{ How the Emperor OF Russia Travels
Among His Loving Sllbiacta

How t', the Emperor Of Russia Travels
among His Loving Subjects.
When the car travels in Russia the
precaution taken for his safety could
not be greater were he in the enemy's
country, says the Philadelphia Tele-
graph. A battalion Of infantry is de-
tailed for every two miles of distance.
and allowing 500 men as the strength
OF each battalion, every spot OF
ground on both sides OF the track is
covered by sentinels within easy
distance OF each other. The car is
suddenly whirled off to the station &C
companied by the chosen twelve of his
body guard, without pomp or circum-
stance, swiftly and silently. The car
always travels in a train Of Ave car.
riages. His carriage is built in 4
peculiar way.
The windows, while ample for light,
are high, SO that a person sitting down
is invisible from the outside. and the
I sides OF the car are fortified with
plates OF steel concealed in the orna-
mental woodwork, but amply strong
to resist q bullet. There are two
sentry boxes in the carriage, one at
each end, and each looking out at an
opposite side from the other. The
guardmen on duty in these apart
ments are shut in from any observa-
ton OF the interior OF the carriage, but
at intervals Of about two feet the
whole length Of the saloon are electric
buttons communicating with the
guard chambers, as well as with the
two carriages, one containing the
suite and the other, in the rear, occu-
pied by the guardmen not on duty. So
lar as the tram itself is concerned, tie
czar could be no more secure in St.
Petersburg. .-...
z5 The train speeds on to it's destina-
ton without halt, accept on &C.
count OF accident. At the distance O.
not less than five miles ahead is a.
pioneer train, in which the imperial
director Of railways and the chief en-
glneer OF the particular railway Oh
which the car is travelling ALWAYS
ride. AS the pilot train whizzes by
the reserves along the line rush to
arms and guard the sides of the rail-
way, waiting until the imperial train
was passed, SO that. the Spectacle is
presented Of continuous lines Of SOL
diery for hundreds of miles. Arrived
at the end OF his journey, the czar is
escorted to the quarters intended for
the imperial family
The streets are guarded by special
constables in the attire of citizens.
Every property owner has been called
upon to supply one or more OF
these men OF his own expense to do
duty when the sovereign makes a pub
lie appearance. The constables aver
age one in ten of the crowd that
throngs the streets, and being in or
binary dress they can mingle with the
people, note what is said, and, per-
haps, do something that will obtain
them regular employment among the
secret police. With one tenth the
population engaged as spies upon the
remainder, with troops enough concen-
trated to stand formidable siege,
and his faithful guardsmen logging
every step, theczar goes through the
forms Of a visit to the ancient capitol
OF Russia, or whatever city he may
choose to honor.

Mr.. Edison's Ignorance Of Theory.

Mr.. Edison has an important law,
suit on hand just now regarding his
electric light patents, and has rather
astonished some Of his cross-examin-
ers. Questioned as to his theoretical
knowledge, he disclaimed all preten-
sions Of being considered an expert,
When asked about "Ohm's law"
which is the very A B G Of electrical
science, and the first thing taught to a
beginner, as well as the most impor-
tant principal, he replied that he had
never known "Ohm's Law" and did
not want to know it. His reason for
remaining in such gross ignorance 81
theory was, he said, that if he knew it
the knowledge would probably stop
him from experimenting. !

A Friendship Calendar,

I have found, lately, a very pretty
and simple way to surprise ones
friend on her birthday or at Christ
mas $es
The article is called Friendship
Calendar, and a few words will suffice
to show how it is made.
Cut 365 strips Of paper-one for
each day in the year-about three by
five inches. The simpler and less ex-
pensive way is to invest in two or
three unruled memorandum blocks,
large enough to divide each sheet into
three parts. With your pen and ink,
date each slip directly at the TOP. or
in the left hand upper corner. Make
out a list OF the friends OF the person
for whom It's designed. If YOU do
not know all whom you think she
would be glad to have represented,
you can address through a mutual
friend, or directly with an enclosed
stamp.
OOf course no one expects to find 365
different friends, 50 distribute your
slips to the various persons, giving
each from two to twelve, being careful
the dates are far apart. Ask them to
write q verse, q quotation, or some
thing original, adding the authors
and their own name. The donor
would want to be represented every
month, and possibly there might be
one or two others.
There will be a number who would
be willing to fill out six slips, and
other friends, more or less, as they
stand in friendly relation, according
TO the discretion OF the donor. 1t is

The Electric Propulsion of Ships.

In considering the future develop
ment OF science, Mr.. Oberlin Smith, in
a lecture recently delivered before the
Franklin Institute, propounded the
idea that the ships OF the future will
probably be driven by electricity, by.
means Of q simple rotating armature
fixed directly upon the shaft Of the
screw itself. The source of the cleo
trio current for driving the motors Of
these prospective three or four day
Atlantic liners, Mr.. Smith considers
would probably be storage batteries
placed in the extreme bottom and
along the whole length Of the hold,
where they will serve as excellent
ballast, or else the current will be
generated by some direct process from
coal or other fuel, either burned or
otherwise chemically disorganised
during the passage. The same current
would be available for loading and I'm
loading cargo and for miscellaneous
Iron,

Manliness.

Has the thought never entered your
heads, my boy friends, what you will
make OF yourselves when you grow to
be men? !
There will be a place waiting for you
if yougrow to be the right kind Of
men. Earnest, upright men are every
where in demand. Business men want
to find young men that they can trust
and rely on. S
An accident is related of q Boston
lad, rather small for his years, who
worked in an office as errand-boy for
four gentlemen.
One day the gentlemen were chatting
him a little about being so small, and
said to him. "You never will amount
to much; you never can do much bus
mess; you are too small"
"Well," said he, "small as I am, I
can do something which none OF you
four men can do"
"Ah, what is that?" they asked.
II don't know as I ought to tell
you," he replied.
But they were anxious to know, and
urged him to tell what he could do
that none Of them were able to do.
IT can keep from swearing said the
lutte fellow.
There were some bushes on four
manly faces, and there seemed to be
very little anxiety for further inform
alton on the point.
What business man would fail to
appreciate the maniiness of such q
boy? With that kind Of integrity he
could not help but become an hon
ored and useful citizen

That legislative body had taken $52, 900 out of the treasury and bestowed it upon their friends. The time had come when we must reduce thrive at all The Governors message had recommended the abolishment of the office of Commissioner of Immigra- ton. Mir. Parish thought that the office was entirely useless as it had been man. aged, and favored the recommendation. He also favored the abolishnent of the office of Territorial Geologist, as the Territory was not able to support it., He also favored doing away with the Live Stock Sanitary Commission, and conierring the duties of that commission upon appointees of stock men. As to the Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, he thought that while there should be no impairrlg of the efficiency of the public schools, that the duties could be attended to with less expense to the Ter ritory by the principal of the Territorial Normal School. He had introduced a bill providing for such changes. Mir. Parish also thought that the office of Attorney General should be abolished, and the duues devolve upon the County District Attorney at the capital. He fa- vored aboliShing the Territorial Board of Equalization, and thought the expenses of the Territorial prison could be greatly reduced. The present expenditures amounted to s5O,0O0 per annum for 40 prisoners. This was a great excess, and formed one of the greatest leakages of the treasury. lie thought the salary of the Superintendent should be reduced to $l50 per month ,and salaries of the subordinate officers in proportion. He thought also that the prison shonld he moved to some part of the Territory where the convict labor could he utiI- ized, providing that it did not interfere with fee labor. Mr. Parish thought the present body of legislators were fully in accord with the will of tn people, and that their line of duty was for retrenchmcnt and re- form. The Governors message had recommended the passage of a militia law and creating of a mounted police. This he opposed, for he thought it was simply a favor offered the Adjutant General and was not in the line of econ omy. tIe favored making a liberal ap- propriation for representation at the Worlds Fair, but did not favor the scheme suggested, that building should be erected at Chicago of Flagstaff stone and finished with Arizona onyx, for ii would require much greater appropria tion than Arizona was able to make. He favored cutting down county ex- penses bv reducing fees and salaries. At the close of Mir. Farish's remarks the Governors message was referred to the Committee on Territorial Affairs and 800 copies ordered printed.
 The House then adjourned until l o'clock Monday.
