Palace Cars.

Under this head are comprised
sleeping, hotel, dining, drawing
room, private, hunting and compos-
ite cars. AS long ago as 1886, the
first attempt to provide sleeping ac-
cOmodatiOns ON train was made
on the Cumberland Valley railroad, !,
in Pennsylvania. The train from
Harrisburg arrived at tChambersburg
at night, and many travellers de-
sired to go Immediately through to
Philadelphia. A car was fitted up
with stationary hunks, such as are
in use on steamboats,. and was di-
vided into four sections, each having
three berths, upper, middle and low
er. Each passenger was expected to
furnish his own bedding. The first
regular sleeping car, built according
to present ideas, was constructed by
a man 4amed ThOmpson, at Spring.
field, Mass, in 1867 or 1858. This car
was bought from Thompson by the
late Webster Wagner, then a wagon
maker, and from this has developed
the great Wagner Palace Car com.
pany. Geo. NJ. Pullman is another
of the pioneers in this business OF
making travel luxurious, and his
cars are known all over the world.
Another early inventor was Wood
ruff, who made considerable money
ON his patents, by royalties paid by
both the Pullman and Wagner COM
panies. Sleeping cars were first used
in the state of New York in 1853 SO.
The Burlington Route trains con-
tain the finest products of the Pull
man company in the way Of sleeping
cars Of the most modern kind, and
as to dining cars, they long since
had the title Of peerless bestowed on
them by the delighted public. For

G.. A. TOwne, the Republican candi-
date for congress from this district,
enters the campaign under the most
favorable auspices. He was the
unanimous choice.of the conve Jon,
and a better selection could not have
been made from among all the good
Republicans of this district. He>is a
strong candidate, and will make Il
brilliant campaign. It is the senti-
ment of all parties that Duluth
should have the congressman this
year, and the Republican party is to
be congratulated that the Duluth
Republicans this year agreed upon
such an excellent candidate. AS u
man he is above reproach or criti-
cism, is a true representative of the
great Republican masses, and will
be q faithful, fearless and able cham
piOn of the interests of the people,
In making such a statement of G. A.
TOwne it is not an idle repetition OF
\
party nominee, but it is a. truth.
In the canvass for the nomination
he had the opposition of the politi-
clans and previous rulers of the
party in Duluth, CT every Republican
paper in the city, and Of elements
that controlled such corpora tions
and large interests as sometimes
take an interest in political nomi-
nations; yet the great mass of the
people held him in SO high esteem
that he Carried nearly every precinct
primary in the city by overwh helm
ing majorities. AS his acquaintance
throughout the district increases he
will possess the same high esteem of
the voters generally as he now does
those OF his own city. AS the Re-
publican nominee he comes before
the people with no elements of weak
ness. He is a model candidate, and
will be elected.

Large Sailing Ships.

The largest sailing ship afloat is
the French tive-master La France,
launched in 1890 on the Clyde, and
owned by Messrs. Ant Dom Bordes ct
Fills, who possess large fleet Of sail
ing vessels. In 1891 she came from
Iquique to Dunkirk in l06 days, with
5000 tons of nitrate, yet she was
stopped on the Tyne when proceed
ing to sea with $500 tons of coal and
compelled to take out 500 tons on the
ground that she was overladen.
There is not single five-masted
sailing ship under the British flag.
The United States has two five
masters, the Louis. of $50 tons, and
the Governor Ames, Of LIS tons,
both fore and aft schOoners, rig
peculiar to the American coast. Ships
having five .masts can be counted on
the fingers of one hand, but, strange
to say, the steamship Coptic, of the
Shaw, Savill & Albion Company. on
her way to New Zealand, in Decem-
Der, 1890, passed the Governor Ames
in II degrees south "a degrees west,
bound for California, and two days
later, in degrees south 81 degrees

France, bound SOUTH.
Passengers and crew Of the Coptic

WOman's Taste.

A cultivated taste marks woman OF
elegance and refinement as decidedly
as a knowledge of classical literature
does a gentleman: and there is nothing
in which female vnlgarity is more
clearly shown than in want Of taste.
This is an axiom that we think will
not admit of dispute; but it Is q ques-
tion how far taste is natural, and how
far it may be acquired.
A delicate taste must, to q certain
extent, depend upon the organization
of the individual; and it is impossible
for any rules to be laid down which
will impart taste to persons entirely
devoid of it.
But this is very seldom the case with
women, as 1t is one of the few points
in which women naturally excel men.
Men may lie, and probably are,
superior to women in all that requires
profound thought and general knowl-
edge; but in the arrangement OF q
house, and the introduction of orna-
mental furniture and articles of bijou-
terie, there can be no doubt OF the in
nate super iority of woman.
Every one must have remarked the
difference in the furnishing OF q
bachelors house and one where a lady
presides; the thousand little elegancies
of the latter, though nothing in them
selves, adding, like ciphers, pro-
digiously TO the value OF the solid
articles they are apr ended to.

Feminine Extravaganza in Dress.

One hears great deal about fem
mime extravaganza in the dress and
its deterrent effect upon the mar
riageable young men, who shrink
back in terror from the altar when
they consider what it costs to dress
a girl according to the dictates Of
modern fashion. Therefore it Is in
teresting to read of a certain Miss
Phraser's new gown, made In the
year 1916, which cost 1876, and 81
which it is recorded: ut rights

with her, from marrying her, saying

been made gown so respondent as
that worn by the Medicis Queen,
wherein were embroidered 5000
pearls and 5000 diamonds. And
what belle in the last cycle has been
arrayed so resplendently as that Nine.

was calculated to cause commotion.
1t would doubtless be unjust to the
eminent divine to suggest that he de-
sired to create sensation by his ac-
,tion in this instance. AS matter
lOf fact, he has heretofore employed
what critics have called sensational
methods to build up the Tabernacle
and not to do it injury.
DR.. Talmage began studying for
the ministry shortly after leaving
college and was chaplain in the
army during the civil war; but had
not attracted much attention
when he went to Brooklyn, al
though he had gained a local
reputation in Philadelphia by
his energy, his eloquence, and his
original methods. The church to
which he came was broken down and
almost hopelessly disintegrated. He
put new life into it, and drew a
crowd almost from the start He
was talked about from one end Of
the land to the other. The COM
ments were not always compliment
airy, but he made many warm friends,
and his church grew and hourished.
1t is a significant fact that in all his
devices to attract popular attention
Talmage has confined his sensation
ism to words and methods. He has
not ventured TO proclaim any new or
heretical ideas. He has left new
theological fields unexplored, and has
stuck close to genuine old-fashioned
orthodoxy. Indeed, he doesn't intlict

WEATHER AND DISEASE.
An Important Investigation on the Ef
fects of Climatic Conditions.

An Important Investigation on the En-
fects of Climatic Conditions.
Secretary Morton has opened new
field of usefulness for the weather
bureau in directing that it shall col
lect data respecting the relation be-
tween certain climatic conditions
and the prevalence Of certain cpl
denies of disease, such, for instance,
as the present visitation Of la grippe,
says the Philadelphia Record.
That such relation does exist Is
something more than a matter Of
moral certainty. The archives Of
medical science both at home and
abroad TEEN with evidence showing
the public health islargely dependent
upon atmospheric conditions; but
the investigation of the vitality i'm
portant subject from the meteoro-
logical standpoint, and on COM
prehensive national scale-which in
time might readily develop into an
international system-could not fail
to let loose a flood of light from a
new quarter upon question Of i'm
portance to human health, happiness
and progress.
Indeed, it is not impossible that
the sanitary researches of the weather
bureau might constitute in time its
most valuable function in a specific
sense II not in the popular estima-
ton, and it seems likely, too, that
its evolution in this direction might
be practically accomplished with lit
tie if any appreciate enlargement Of
its expenditures.

Motto to Coat-Of.Arms.

The art Of composing the motto
was subjected to severe rules. The
"body" and the soul" were required
to be In such relation 10 each other
that the soul" should invariably ex-
plain the "body." The legend must
be concise, neatly turned and ingeni-
ously suggestive-like the "Desdicha-
do" of the disinherfted knight in
"Ivanhoe."
1t had always to be applicable to
the person as well as to the material
object forming the "body," and 1t
must not be drawn from things I'M
known, nor must it be too enigmatic
or too facile, too humble, or, above
all, too arrogant Again, 1t was es-
sential that the figure should be
agreeable to the eve, and its idea to
the mind. Finally, the device was
perfect only when the "body" was
unique and the soul" or motto in a
language which was not the mother

Pulling n Tooth by magic"

One of the guests Of the Briggs

and went out to find relief, when
proprietor DE Witt smiled at a funny
Renaissance. IL shall never forget

marked. "My uncle, who was ply
sician, had great, big, stalwart
colored man for servant. His name
was Buck, and one day he went into
his masters Office and complained
that one of his teeth was nearly kill

claimed, hit wud dess fairly kill me

Buck was equipped with all the
superstition Of his race, and he read
lily requlesced in the suggestion, for
he thought a doctor could do any
thing. The old gentlemen took the
small string from his violin and max
ing a loop dropped 1t over Bucks
aching tooth and drew 1t taunt.
Then he led Buck out to the hitch
ing. post and made him stand on his
tfp toes, which brought his eyes on a
level with the top OF the post, and
tied the catgut around It. Upon
the fat surface OF the top he poured
some gunpowder, and then solemnly
warning Buck not to move he re-
turned to the house. Suddenly he
came running out Of the kitchen door
