Disadvantages of Dining Cars.

From tpe Pittsburg Dispatch.
'Vestibule trains and diners on cross-country
lines are delusion and purgatory," exclaimed
the fat Montana jurist when the irriga.ionist
paused. ''In the good old days, you know, the
air on the hills permitted to blow through
the coaches. Now the trains are like tunnels
without air shafts, and the puffs that come
through the windows are unsatisfactory and
cinder-laden. The vestibule train is ali very
nice in cold weather, but now it's out of place.
And the dining car, too, is a step backward in
long-distance railroading Why, we II be lucky
If we get fifteen minutes to stretch our legs at
any stopping place between here and the Pa
cific; and that, you know, is not at all condu-
Give to comfort or a well-regulsted system. Yes,
sir. the old breakfast, dinner and supper sta
tons, with their rosy-cheeked, calicoed attend
ants. steaming victuals and monotony-breaking
clatter, were good things for travellers from q
purely physical standpoint. III bet you a bit
that you'll all agree with me before the taste Of
the canned goods leaves your palates." At the
last station on the line all voted the Judge q
winner.

A Trying Moment for the Bartender.


From the New York Tribune.
The bell boy shuiled into the cafe of an up
town hotel the other day, slammed tray down
on the counter and bawled at the top of his
voice, mo. liz wants kreutzerby tolstoi and
here's the money for it!' The compounder of
gin fixes and soda lemonades gave a shudder
of despair and fell into helpless heap ON the
tiled floor. He had worn the white jacket from
Leadville to New York and his name was known
to two thirsty generations. He had dallied with
the insidious julep. whisked the lemon peel over
the aromatic cocktail and had shaken together
mysterious ingredients from bottles great and
small! until fhey became things of life. 1t was
he who gave to the world The Brokers' De-
light, 1.-The Corpse Reviver" and 1.-The Maid
ems Prayer" He could make drink that
would seize man by the throat like the fierce
Nubian lion or concoct mixture as soft and
mild as the whisperings of love. He had writ
ten books about the flowing bowl and to him
the names of thousand drinks we're as familiar
as the alphabet, yet here thirst quencher
of which he had never heard.
The knight of the white jacket" slowly re-
covered his senses and his old suayity of man
ner returned. Tell No. ll2 to send down a
written ORDER" he said. Must comply with
the rules, you know"
Five minutes later the order came and the
bartender gasped: "Saved! l am still the Only
One"
What No. 112 wanted was the sKreutzer So

Artificial Precious Stones.
From Industries


A new process for the artificial production Of
those precious stones which consist essentially
Of crystallized slumina has been devised by Mr.
James Morris of Glasgow. Some few years ago
process was shown in Paris for the prepsrs-
ton of small artificial rubies, but Mr.. Morris
has succeeded in obtaining crystals one-six-
tenth Of an inch in diameter. We shall await
with interest further information a. to the
method Of production. There appears to be no
reason why the ruby and sapphire should not
be obtained artificially but attempts in this di-
rection have hitherto proved failures.

His Interest in y New York BOOtblack an
What Came Of 1t.


What Came of 1t.
One day in 1873 when Earl Rosebery, Glad
stones newly appointed secretary of state for
foreign affairs, was in New York inspecting
American institutions, he passed through City
Hall Square, and noticing that his shoes needed
polishing, he stopped in his walk and beckoned
to small bootblack. The bootblack appa-
rently was a bright boy, for after VI lille Earl
ROsebery asked him his name.

The earl questioned him further and asked
him where he lived.
'At Father Drumgooles, at So Warren
street." Pat replied.
place Father Drumgoole conducted. So he
went to the store house at So Warren street,
where he found the kind old father engaged in
his mission of caring for the homeless boys in
New lOrk-a mission which is now SO we'll
known to the charitable people in the city.
The earl was greatly pleased with the father e
work, and was also interested in Pat. He asked
Father Drumgoole to investigate Pats history,
and said il the boy was found worthy he him
self would educate Pat for the pursuit most
suited to him Father Drumgoole found that
Pats mother was 4 widow with seven children.
After Earl Rosebery returned from trip to
Washington he called on Father DrumPoole
and gave him money to clothe Pat and enable
him to begin his studies. The earl also gave
Father Drumgoole sum of money for the
mission. The earl was much impressed by
Father DrumgOole and his earnest work, and
as he was about to sail for England he wrote
the following letter:
Brevoort House. Dec. II, 1873.
My Dear Father cannotJyet away to say goodbye
to you today but must In the FIRST place send my
address to YOU Berkeley square. London. What
getting on and how Pat is progressing, and what
money from time to time you want for him. and. in

without feeling better for II and without feeling
that 1 had got an insight into higher and
lead or indeed capable Of leading. hope YOU may
long be spared for it, and that uay have the pie
ue OF seeing yon and your institution prospecting and
God bless you. If that may be said without presnmp-
viii you devote a little of Pats money to having
him photographed and sending . copy?
The earl also sent Father Drumgoole his pho
tograph in q rich frame, which is still at the
mission.
In accordance with the plans of Father Drum
goole and the earl Pat, who was then thirteen
years old, was placed in st. Francis Xayiers
College in 18th street. His professors were
pleased with Pat, but he did not live to fulfill
expectations; he died two years later
On Tuesday night the Rev. Father McNichol
of the Drumgoole mission in Lafayette place
and a brother laborer while talking OF English
politics recalled this story as told above Earl
Rosebery is an Episcopalian, and at the time Of
the incident was twenty five years old. The in
| cident seemed noteworthy to Father McNichol
and to him is due credit for the story.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
81 am free trader, but there is one thing I
do not care to see imported, and that is British
profanity" said Mr.. C. NJ. Sanborn at the
Southern. ''Theie is something particularly
repulsive about English profanity, and yet II is
not, according to orthodox standards, as wicked
as our own swear words. The Englishman sell
dom takes the name Of the Almighty in vain; he
does not even consign his enemy to Malebolge.
His most emphatic imprecations are 'blawsted'
and bloody but he uses them with such reck-
less vigor that dammit sounds like Q Sunday
school phrase by comparison. An American
may use his whole vocabulary of 'cuss words
in London without attracting much attention,
but let q cockney cabby begin to 'blawst the
bloody hize' Of his old crowbait and every lady
in the block puts her fingers in her ears and
rolls up her eyes in pious horror"

Ancient Proof Reading.

From the st. Louis Globe- Democrat
The editions Of books printed 200 or 800 years
ago are almost entirely free from typographical
errors, which may be attributed to the fact that
early publishers were generally eminent
scholars, and themselves gave much attention
to the revision Of their proofs. After reading
the proofs they frequently turned them over to
other scholars with the request to revise and
correct, and ~ the printers time was then
deemed . matter Of small consequence . perfec.
ton was attained which Is seldom equaled BY
modern printers.

JAMES OWEN O'CONNOR IN An ASYLUM.

The Alleged TrHeedian Became Violent

James Owen O'Connor was taken to the in

been before the public for a number Of years.
He had notion that he Was q tragedian, and
that he only lacked the opportunity to make
himself as famous as Booth or Forrest or any
of the eminent tragedians who had acquired
fame and fortune on the stage.
The last engagement he had was in a variety
theater in Jersey City last winter. The au-

morning in a vacant lot about three-quarters
of a mile away from home. A few DAYS ago

O'Connor made his New York debut on April
9, 1888, at the Star Theater, as Hamlet His
play bills announced that 'there never had
been anything like it," and his audience was
convinced of that fact after the frstact O'Con-
nor had PLAYED Hamlet in the Oil CITY circuit
and had met with jeers. He came to New York
to introduce a new school of tragedy. His play
bills stated that he was the son Of wealthy real
estate dealer in New York and that he was born in

He also wrote poetry. His Hamlet was received
with jeers, and was greeted with yells and de-
cayed fruit O'Connor tortured his grave dig
ger into perfect type Of sadness. His legs,
which seemed to have been tied in double bow
knots when wet, were features Of the perform
ance. They thrust themselves into notice and
awed and stultifed the gallery.
OConnor's company also aroused laughter.
His ghost looked like one Of Kiralfy's stage
bats and all Of his court ladies wore the Lang
try dress extender. After several perform
ances O'Connor was jeered OF the stage. He
appeared later at Roster Il Balls, and recited
"Hamlet" in costume, and came TO the conclu-
sion that New Workers had no serious apprecia-
ton Of his ability.

ROquefort and Its Cheese.

From Temple Bar.
Cheese, which has been the fortune of ROGUE
fort, has destroyed its picturesqueness. 1t has
brought spectators there who have raised
great, ugly square buildings OF dazzling white
ness in harsh contrast with the character and
somber tone Of the old houses. Although the
place is SO small that it consists of only one
street and few alleys, the more ancient dwell
lings are remarkable for their height 1t Is
surprising to see in village lost among the
sterile hills houses three stories high. The
fact that there Ia only ledge on which to build
must be the explanation. What is most curious
in the place is the cellars. Before the cheese
became an important article of commerce
these were natural cayerns such as every
where to be found in this calcareous formation;
but now they are really cellars that have been
excavated to such depth in the rock that they
are to be seen in as many as five stages, where
long rows OF cheeses are stacked one over the
other. The virtue of these cellars from the
cheese-making point Of view is their dryness
and their scarcely varying temperature of
| about degrees centigrade summer and winter,
But the demand for Roquefort cheese has be-
come so great that trickery now plays a part in
| the ripening process. The peasants have
] learned that slime is money" and they have
| found that bread crumbs mixed with the curd
cause those green stresks of moldiness, which
| denote that the cheese is fit for the market to
| appear much more readily than was formerly
the case when II was left 70 do the best 1t could
| for itself with the aid Of subterranean atmos-
phere. This Is not exactly cheating; it is
| commercial enterprise, the result Of COM
petition and other circumstances too strong
FOR poor human nature. In cheese making
| bread crumbs are found to be cheap SUBJ
stitute for time; and it is said that those
| who have taken to beer brewing in this region
have found that box, which here Is the COM
monest Of shrubs, is cheap substitute for
! hops. The notion that brass pins stuck into
RoQuefort cheese to make 1t turn green ID
I founded on fiction.
