An English traveller passed through New
York recently on the way to London. He
had spent three months in the Upited
States seeing things. A friend asked what
was the most interesting thing he saw in
the country, and he answered without hes
itation that IL was mule Then he ex-
planned that he had visited certain mines
where mules were used to haul the tram
cars, and their wonderful patience and in
telligence had made on him a deep i'm
preston. Some of the tunnels were so
low that the animals had TO hold their
heads down and partly stoop to go through,
but there was never any trouble. He
pointed out a Characteristic Of the mule
that makes him unlike horse. Many
Americans have noticed IL. II a horse
touches his head In going under a low
bridge, OF through tunnel, he will In
varably throw his head up and receive a
hard knock. When a mules ears touch
anything his head goes down. In some
parts Of this country IL is high compli-
ment TO man to say that he has a. much
sense as mule

THE SLEEPING SALOON.

John Bulls Curious Version OF An Ameri-
can Idea.
Between the British conception of a
saloon and that in vogue on this side
of the Atlantic there is this in common
that both are entered by side door
after nightfan. There the resemb-
lance ceases. John Bulls saloon is
an exhibit in the Transportation build
ing, wherein it is full as difficult to
look upon the wine when it is red as it
ought to be in Evanston or Bangor.
John Bulls saloon is as dry as his
comic papers. He tables it sleeping
saloon" to distinguish it from all-night
places where we never sleep. 1t oc-
cupies n position in the rear of the
London & Northwestern Railway com
pany's highly vanished trainlet, in
yeniously constructed to defeat the
ends of the trafficker in popcorn, five
bag"
The British sleeping saloon is our
great-grandmothers' Pullman car. 1t
is the great American sleeper" as il
would have been had it been invented
before the war. Entering by it tho
British passenger finds himself in di-
minutive closet where he is permitted
20 smoke ms pipe. Two rlg1d-backed
chairs would elbow each other fol-
standing room if they had any elbows.
The man in charge says: ellis is what
man as to put up with in Tchicago,"
as he opens the door. Six berths are
slowed away on either side of the
smoking saloon. The berth saloons
are divided into compartment saloons,
four compartments comprising the en-
tire carriage. Two of the compart-
ments contain four berths devoid of
any evidences of curtains in front.
This remaining couple are of semi-se-
elusive character, containing two
bcrths each, and being intended for
roommates or elderly married couples.
The car is probably half the length OF
the ordinary Pullman, and is destitute
of even the adornment of the harmless
necessary darby with the appetite for
quarters.

A CURIOUS CASE.

It Established the Fact That There Are
Some Rights Which Can't lie Waived.
A defendant in q murder case in New
YORK state was once placed on trial be-
fore q jury of twelve, says the Brook
lyn Eagle. A member of the jury died
during his trial The prisoners coun-
sci agreed with the district attorney
that the trial should continue before
eleven jurors and that no record of the
death of one of their number should be
entered on the minutes of the court.
The prisoner was convicted and SEN
fenced to punishment. An appeal was
afterward taken to the effect that
neither his counsel nor the district at
torncy nor the court nor the prisoner
had right to waive the latter's right
to 4 trial by twelve jurors. The con-
viction was set aside for that reason.
AS, however, nothing in the record
showed in a formal and official way
that the trial occurred and that the
verdict was rendered by less than
twelve jurors, it was also held that the
man had been put once in jeopardy
and could not be put twice in the same
position. He was, therefore, dis
charged. lie was thus tried and not
tried, found guilty and not found gull
ty. convicted and practically acquitted
all at the same time. and under the
Same proceeding. The contention wos
that every man indicted and tried for
crime previous to his arraignment, and
everyone who might be SO indicted nnd
SO tried after his arraignment had an
interest in his trial by twelve jurors, u
right to his trial by twelve jurors, and
tha6"when he waived his own right he
impaired their right in their trial and
their right in his trial, and that the
tAing could not be permitted. This
illustrates how q man holds some OF
his rights in trust for all the past and
for all the future. OF such rights he
cannot divest himself and cannot be
Invested.
