STAGS.

We have noticed with pleasure this win the manifestations of New Haven Society. Notices have been sent to this office tell ing what "the young stags" would do at
 the houses of the great, and in "the Court
 Circular" we have seen frequent aIlusions
 to the presence and performances of stags in the drawing-rooms of the crested no. bility.
 We like animals. We sympathize with the Indian, who
 "thfnks, admitted to that equal sky
 His faithful dog shall bear him company
 Man is said to be little lower than the angels. Some animals are little lower than man, but when you know them we'll you grow doubtful about the difference. Feeling about animals as We do, it is grat- flying to us to see some of them admitted to New Haven Society. And we know they are ornaments to 1t. The stag is noble beast, especially the Royal stag. We sup pose, of course, that the stsgs now going the rounds In New Haven are members of the American variety. The Wapiti Is much larger than the European stag, with much branched antlers, sometimes more than four feet long, and not pslmated at the end. We should think he would have difficulty in getting around freely among the other guests hc finds where he visits, but the fact that he does it speaks we'll for the spaciousness of the palaces of New Haven. And we read that he not infrequently joins in the dance. He has light fantastic toe to trip, and his much-branched antlers must look even more fantastic than his toe as they wave about in "the may" He must be ss graceful as he is fantastic, or he never could manage to do the dancing he does without stepping on people, or getting his much branched antlers tangled up with the chandeliers and the decora- tions. It Is 8 hard thing to dance with four feet, and manage partner and big pair of horns at the same time. The Wapiti must be we'll trained in the gentle and useful art of hopping or gliding about to the sourd of sweet music.
 We were about to cay something about the advantage to the Society people of New Haven in having an opportunity to study a lesson in Natural History in such au agreeable way, but our Society Reporter has just come in fresh from @ green tea at 8 five cent restaurant, supplemented by an "all hot'' on the street corner, and he assures us that we don't know what we are writing about. He says that the stags seen at social festivities in New Haven are not the noble beasts with much branching antlers, or even the ignoble beasts known to unpoeticsl farmers as stags, but that they are men with dress suits on. We can't believe him, especially as he can't explain why they are called stsgs. For our own part, we don't believe that delicate and refined ladies call men stags, eat with them as stags, and allow them ss stags to embrace them in the vcluptuous and dreamy waltz. Our Society Reporter has put on such airs this winter that we don't like to have any controversy with him, and we therefore appeal to some of the gracious leaders of New Haven Society to tell us whether these stsgs of whom we read are members of the Wapiu family, the steer family or the human family.

Pneumatic Tubes Abroad.

Il Pneumatic tubes for local transmission | of telesrams are now used in all the prln- cipal cities of Great Britain. At present | about fifty miles of such tubes gre in ope-
 ration, requiring an aggregate of four hun dred horse power, and transmitting daily thousand messages tor over thirty million
 annually, more than half Of these in Lon
 don. The lengths of tubes vary greatly;
 the average length Is about six hundred
 and thirty yards: the greatest single length
 in London is 3,9s2 yards. The tubes are of lead. laid in cast-iron pipes, for protec- ton, and are usuHliy two and one-fourth inches inner diameter; some tubes of one and one e-half and some of three inches in- ner diameter are used. As general rule, with the game air pressure and diameter of tube, the speed varies !nyeTsely as tue length of the tuba. In tubes not over a mile long the usual average speed Is twen- ty-fye 10 thirty miles an hour. The car riers are of gntta percha covered with felt, with buffer st the front end, and sn elastic hand at the back or open end to hold in the messages. An ordinary car rier weighing two anc thres fourth ounces holds dozan messages.
 The marked success of ihe British pueu-
 matic service led to the adoption of simi-
 lar systems in Paris, Vienna and Berlin.
 The pneumatic system uf Paris was put
 into operation in 1886, and has grown
 steadily, 80 ths: today in Paris tubes
 are use1 almost exclusively for transmis- sion of lacAl telcgrGIns aud letters de-
 msudiug quick d-liyery. Asmsll stamped envelope, the petit bieu, costing fifty csntimes, or ten cents, Is ussd for inc
 message, which, dropped into special post.bo Is delivered anywhere in Paris within an hour, often ia twenty-five min utes.

LIGHT ON A DARK SUBJECT.

What does good real estate agent see forever before him in his waking and his dreaming hourss A Commission, with large 0. Does he fail to grasp that Com mission when there is the slightest excuse for his doing 1t. We'll, not as rule. And when he does he feels deeply injured. But it appears that real estate agent must have at least an excuse for claiming a commission. A case involving this deli cate and interesting matter has just been decided in New York. The suit by James R. Hay, the well known New York broker, against ex-Senator and President Thomas 0. Platt, of the United States Express com psny, to recover a commission upon the sale of the Broadway property now occu- failed, through reversal by the gen. eral term of judgment in MT. Hays favor. Judge Barrett, who writes the de- cision, in which Judges Van Brunt and O'Brien concur, declares that the plaintiff has no cause of action. All that MT. Hay claimed was, that two years before the sale he called the purchasers attention to the property, and informed him that it could be bought for the sum finally paid.
 He then had fifteen minutes interview with Mir. Platt, who told him that the
 Union Trust company, or anybody else,
 could have the property for $400, ,000.
 Three years later he made his second csll
 on MT. Platt, with request for a oommis-
 sion on the selling price. Judge Barrett says that 1t is of no consequence
 why the Trust company did not
 buy in June, 1886, at the time Mir. Hay first saw MT. Platt, and continues:
 The price was not offered, and that ended
 the matter. The parties were never
 brought together, and the plaintiff was in no sense the procuring cause of the sale which was ultimately made. If the plaint- If, upon the facts of this case, is entitled | to a commission, it must be simply upon the ground that his information suggested 10 | the defendants officers possible customer | for their property. But of course such a | position is entirely untenable- The broker
 must be the procuring cauee of the sale.
 He must produce 8 customer ready and willing to enter into contract upon the
 employers terms. The employer violates no right of the broker in negotiating di-
 rectly with the proposed customer after 1 the broker has failed to bring such GUS toner the special terms and has sban- | doned his efforts in that direction; nor is
 he liable for commission, under such cir oumstances, if his independent negotiation
 results in sale. The broker may, ss was
 said by Judge Finch of the Court of Alp
 peals, "havs introduced to each other
 par ties who otherwise would have never
 met; he may have created impressions which, under later or more favorable cir.

tail, the elephant stopped and allowed it. self to be turned round, and drew the
 bullock back again without protest. Yet an elephant with good mshout gives,
 perhaps, the best instance of disciplined eourage-coursge, that is, which persists, in the face of knowledge and disinclina. tion-to be seen in the animal world. They will submit, day after day, to have painful wounds dressed in obedience to their keeper, and meet danger in obedi- encs to orders, though their intelligence is sufficient to understand the peril. and far too great for man to trick them into a belief that 1t Is non-exIstent. No ami nal will face danger more readily at mans bidding. As an instance, take the following incident, which recently oc- cured in India, and was communicated to the writer. 4 small female elephant was charged by buffalo, in high grsss and her rider, in the hurry of the mo- ment, and perhaps owing to the sadden stopping of the elephant, fired sn explo- sive shell from his rife, not into the buffalo, but into the elephants shoulder. The wound was so severe that it had not healed a year later. Yet the ele- phant stood firm, although 1t was gored by the buffalo, which was then killed by another gun. What Is even more strange is that the elephant was not "gun-shy"

 We know that our Old Sanitarian Is go modest that he would never claim anything to which he might be entitled, except the fat salary which is denisd him because of the unreasonable hatred and jealousy of his brother sanitarians. But we will claim for him. He is entitled to @ crest, and he shall have it if he will wear it, or have it painted on his sanitary hen coop or sani- tary well-curb. His crest shall be a microbe, symbolic of his unwesIied labors in behalf of the human race. Of course the microbe will have to be many times but it will be a proud and fitting emblem, and however much msgni- fled will not indicate any exaggsration or of the intense zeal, the pro- found knowledge and the true regard of its possessor for his fellow beings. We only wish his salary might be msgnifed in proportion to his deserts and in propor- tion to the magnifying of the microbs for his well earned crest.

 I have tired of whispers and long for the full The full voice to strengthen and guide soul, heart and head; I am tired of shadows that give but a promise of light; The purple gloaming stretches it's fingers far down the night. I am tired of starlight, filling the air with mys And long for the noontide glare, the light, the heat, the blaze; I am SO tired of groping in the valley of unrest, And my hearts blood stands stagnant between the vale ana the crest. am tired of all the vain deceptions of practical life, The emisunderstandings, the worry, the turmoil aye, and the strife; More than all, am sick of self, with all its weak desire, That burns ln my heart like the flame of funeral pyre. Speak, o voics divine, and bid this curious heart be still; Teach it to strive no more, to be satisfied with thy will, For how vain is human longing when measured by thy power! Let contentment gild my lips and i'll with peace each Iowly hour.

 t2,l The poiygOnAl system allows much greater use of eompIessed air for forward ing, as the passage around the p3lyeunE is always in the game direction. Rare fled air need be used only for the return passage in the links connecting rho poly gons, or for the return from < single .so- lated station. In the rEdial Bystera rare fed air is used for half the rassAses. This shows greater economy in working for the polygonsl system.
