The Most Active and vIvacIous of Eng.

B. L. Farjeon, the celebrated Eng.
fish novelist, is tiny man--short OF
stature, thin of body, dressed after the
careless fashion of the literary man,
with the tendency to drop into dream
land of the born story teller. But
there is such life, such electricity, such
quicksilver in his blood that he can't
remain still for a moment; and when
you think You have pinned him down
into a seat and he takes his place on it
as though he were going to be glued to
it for half an hour-ho presto! he is
up again and has taken three laps
around the room as though he were
competing in a long distance champion
ship match. Everything about the man
speaks Of his extraordinary vivacity of
mind and body. The eyes-sman,
brown, twinkling-are never really al
rest. When he wants 10 tell you a
thing he grabs You by the collar and
ways his finger at You as though you
were naughty schoolboy. Every
word is illustrated by a gesture; he
has an eternal cigar, which alternates
every five minutes between his lips and
his tingers-as an aid to irnaeinati0a
In the one case, as Convenient pointer
to gesture in the other; and the cigar

this restlessness and vitality, says

almost as if you could blow him off

The car went onits way as soon as the

There was great excitement on board
the trolley car, No. 1894 OF the Greene

few minutes after O'Clock last evening,
from the motor taking FIRE. The car
was crowded with passengers and had
reached point in Fulton street, oppo-
site the City Hall, when smoke was
seen pouring through crevices in the
floor. There was q stampede OF the
passengers. When the trap4door in the
floor OF the car over the motor boz was
opened a sheet OF fame burst forth.
The stoppage OF the machinery and the
cutting off of the electric current speed
lily put out the fire, but not before the
armature was burned out, making the
motor useless. A car of the Putnam

pushed the disabled car on it's way up
Fulton street. When Greene avenue
was reached the car was sidetracked
until another car of the same line could
push it to the carhouse for repairs.

uses to which the goober has been put
in trade quite Of late years. No other
single plant raised in this country is
used in so many different ways. The
Chinese say that the eocoanut palm
has as many useful properties as there
are days in the year. The goober is
not SO universal as that, but It has
as many valuable qualities as there
are days in the week, says the
New York Independent. The solid
part of the nut is peculiarly nu-
tritive and supplies fruit and food for
many family. The vines make fine
fodder, some say as good as clover hay,

The goober is grown more or less in all

edible nuts are called ''goobers" or
"pinders." They are not known as
peanuts. Now that the demand is in

The Detroit Free Press publishes cuts

age cap, intended for all branches of
the army, is what Is known as the Ger
man pattern, and it is claimed for il
that the visor, being turned down in
stead of being straight, gives more
protection TO the eyes. The top is soft
and pliable and has the advantage of
keeping the head cool. Many officers
favor its adoption, while not a few look
upon it with disfavor, owing to the
fact that it is almost the exact coun-
terpart in shape, but, Of course, not in
material, of those so frequently met
with on the heads of emigrants from
the Fatherland.
