BuDre,s Siseptno-C Car Berfhs.

Sleeping-car berths may not be as
sweet-smelling as a light sleeper could
wish, but they are clean and absolutely
free from vermin. This Is due to the
simplest kind of carc-vigorous use of
the whisk broom. After every journey
the car is thrown open, the bedding Is
taken out on the platform, blankets are
given shake or two, and the mattress
and pillows are thoroughly brushed.
Then the upper and lower berths are
whisked, and the woodwork Is polished.
This habit Of dislodging the dust is the
secret of clean beds. As everybody Is
aware the linen is changed every night.

pull 1t out into the train yard and beat
and brush 1t clean. Car-cleaners have
great contempt for the broom. the con-

WORDS OF WISDOM.

x-Secretary Whitney does not often
speak on public matters, but when he
does he speaks in plain. direct and un-
mistakable language.
Mr.. Whitney tells THE World" In his
own concise way, how he regards the
result of the recent election. He re-
CARDS 1t as Democratic defeat, but not
as a Republican victory, and he believes
the result will be beneficial. He gives
good and substantial reasons for his
belief.
But Mr.. Whitney does not hesitate to
say boldly what the Democratic party
is bound to do in the immediate future.
Congress owes 1t TO the country, he
says, not only to reform the tariff, but
to reform It at once, in a conservative
and careful spirit. Redemption of all
party pledges he deems necessary. but
quick redemption OF this greatest of
party pledges he declares to be not
only a party expediency and a sound
policy, but a patriotic duty.
The Ex-Secretary's words are words
of wisdom and honor. VIII they be
needed by Congress and the Admins
