Stealing a Ride. =

A friend from Ireland tells, me the
methods there adopted for cheap travel
ing are not SO expensive as those in Eng
land, but they involve greater risk to Life
and limb The traveller lies in wait for an
express train and springs on the footboard
Just when the train attains respectable
speed. He does not open the door Of the
carriage, but precipitates himself head
first in through an open window. This
generally has the effect of surprising any
passenger who may be inside and who OBJ
tanned his ticket in the usual way. The time
chosen is usually about dusk, when there
Is not much chance Of the guard seeing
the passenger come in. When the train
slackens speed near station, the passen-
ger opens the door and springs out into
the darkness. My friend informs me that
the unlimited guest is perfectly reckless
about which side of the railway he jumps
out, and twice he has caught man by
the collar who was trying to spring out
on line of rails on which an express was
coming from another direction, when he
certainly would have been cut to pieces

Invincible Engines of War.

Americans have twice within this gen.
GRAFTON upset all standards of naval con-
struction and warfare said an English
naval officer. First, your monitors, Mer-
rimac and Alabama, changed in a iiffy all
the naval designs in Europe, and later On
you have perfected steel projectile which
seems able to penetrate any armor that
can be carried on ship. The 100 ton
breech loading rifled cannon is 80 feet
long, II inches bore, takes 700 pounds of
powder at a, charge, carries shot weigh
ing ton and can be loaded, aimed and
discharged by the hand of lady in less
than one minute, SO simple is the machin-
cry by which it is operated. It should al
ways be remembered, however, that the eff
fectiveness of these enormous guns is re-
duced nearly one-half in an actual battle
at sea because of the movements of the
sea- while the resistance of the armor is
made almost twice as effective by the
same causes. New York Press.

Transporting Liquid Air.

Among the recent successes of chemical
science is Professor Dewar's conveyance Of
considerable quantity Of liquid air from
London to Cambridge Condensing the
various detailed accounts of this achieve
ment which have appeared, the simple fact
may be stated that the liquid air was car
ried in a double glass, vacuum jaoketed
flask, the space between the inner and
outer TASKS containing nothing but ex-
tremely attenuated mercurial vapor, to-
gether with a little liquid mercury. On
pouring liquid air into the inner flask its
outer surface is rapidly covered with a
mercurial film of extreme thinness, form
ing rejecting surface highly impervious
to radiant heat. As soon as this is formed
the whole apparatus is packed in solid
carbonic acid, which at once freezes the
liquid mercury, arrests the deposits upon
the mirror, reduces the mercurial vapor to
an infnitesimnl quantity, forms an al
most perfect vacuum and supplies an en-
velope so degrees below zero. Thus pro-
tected the liquid air was conveyed.-New

Twickenham Grounds.

Every lover of gardens halls the poet
Pope as foremost member of the craft.
Though his grounds at Twickenham were
OF small dimensions, he ontrived, by the
inspiration of his own fine taste and with
the assistance of the two great profession
al gardeners, Bridgman and Kent, and the
advice of that brilliant paladin, Lord
Peterborough, to convert them into one of
the prettiest gardens in England, and we
owe to his example and his teaching the
abolition of the prim monotonies OF the
Dutch style and the popularity of the pic
turesque or natural style, generally known
as landscape gardening.
Pope's practice was not wholly free from
defects it is true, and of his dusky groves
and large lawn and cypress avenue he was
not half so proud as of the tunnel incrust-
ed with shells and spars and bits of look
ing glass, which he called his ''grotto. -
But this folly may be forgiven in consid-
GRAFTON of the good work he accomplished
and the impulse he gave to garden Quilt
walton.
After his death his house and demesne
were purchased by STR William Stanhope,
who enlarged and improved them, though
not in Horace Walpole's opinion. ''Would
you believe it,, he writes to his friend,
Sir1Horace Mann, ''he has cut down the
sacred groves themselves'' In short, it
was little bit of ground of five acres, in
closed with three lanes, and seeing moth
ing Pope had twisted and twirled and
rhymed and harmonized this till it ap-
peared two or three sweet little lawns,
opening and opening beyond one another,
and the whole surrounded with thick, i'm
penetrable woods.-All the Year Round.

An Old Chair.

Mrs. J. Milton Gavitt has an old chair
that was owned in her family long before
the Revolutionary war. Mrs. Gavitt is of
the sixth generation that has owned it.
Mrs. John Hopkins gave it to her grand
daughter, Lydia Rathbone, as wedding
present on her marriage with Benjamin
Bently. Mrs. Bently was Mrs. Gavitt's
great grandmother. 1t was an old chair
then and had worn out two pairs of rock
ers, and Mr.. Bently hewed out with an ak
the pair it swings on now, and they are
well worn, having been about eight inches
deep when they were first made, and now
they are only about three. The chair is
over 200 years old and is priced very high

Guarding s1eeping ROYALTY.

The most extraordinary precautions are
taken in Spain to provide for the safety
of the sovereign at night. His slun1bers
are watched throughout the night by the
Monteros de Espinosa, body of men who
for 400 years have enjoyed the exclusive
privilege of guarding their royal master or
mistress from sunset to sunrise. They
are bound by tradition to be natives of the
town of Espinosa and to have served with
honor in the army. They lock the palace
gates with much ceremony and solemnity
at midnight and open them again at I
O'Clock in the morning Their fidelity
to the person of the sovereign does not ad-
nit of question -Madrid Letter

Wanted Something American.

A young German girl sailed for the old
country the other day on visit to her
parents. She had been my servant and
had resided in this country about five
years and saved up a couple of hundred
dollars. AS soon as she had made all ar
rangements to go back she began to col
lect presents to take home to her family
She wanted to show them what we had
here in America. So she went down on
the Bowery, and in one of the jewelry auc-
ton stores there bought ladies' gold
watch for 81. for her mother. The
watch would have been dear at SO, and
she could have purchased much better
one abroad for less than half the money.
Then she paid visit to a Sixth avenue
china shop and invested several dollars in
some very pretty pieces of china When
she got to her room and found that the
china had been made in Germany within
few miles of her birthplace, she wept Bit
ter tears She wanted something Ameri-
can, and the china cost twice as much
here. The next thing she did was to buy
silver watch for her little brother, and
she found that was a Swiss watch. That
made her angry, though the silver watch
made IN Geneva was much more valua-
BILE article than the auction gold affair
from the Bowery. Then she bought a
pretty dress pattern-to find from my wife
that that was made in Vienna near where
her parents now live. But she had reach
ed her limit of purchases. Otherwise she
was SO crazy to take something back that
was purely American that she would have
bought pillow, she said, for her father,
who is farmer, and carried 1t or in
her trunk.-New York Herald.

TAE STORY OF A RING.
An Instance of the Law of Vibration From
Mind to Mind.

An Instance of the Law of Vibration From
Mind to Mind.
She was in Salem and in Boston. We
had never met, although some three
months previous an attempt-ineffectua
at the time-had been made by mutual
friend to bring us together On the night
of Jan. 20 of the year I write of saw in
dream a very curious ring, an antique,
on the hand of distinguished divine
whose death had occurred the preceding
winter. The vagaries of the dream, al
though they were snot without relation to
the events that followed, need not here be
chronicled, but the impression of the ring
was remarkably clear. On the night of
the dream she was thinking of me and in
tended writing to arrange for our meet
ing but callers prevented, SO at this time
we had had no communication in any
way. During the week she wrote, and I
replied begging her to come to me on the
following Saturday evening, which she
did. All this is merely preliminary.
1t will not seem amiss, I think, if I tell
you the name of the lady to whom I refer.
1t is by no means an unfamiliar one
that of Miss Sarah Farmer, the only child
Of Professor Moses G. Farmer, the noted
scientist and electrician. Names, dates
and places are varieties which are not I'M
important in any analysis of psychical
problems.
On the evening that I had the pleasure
OF meeting Miss Farmer our conversation
drifted naturally into the line of discus
sion so interesting to us both. Miss Farm
er told me that soon after the death of her
mother she had sitting with medium
who told her that her mother asserted that
within a week she would have ring
given to her. Within week it came, ''and
this, said Miss Farmer, drawing it from
her finger and handing it to me-''this is
the ring" 1t was remarkable turquoise,
green with age and one of the finest an
tiques one ever sees.
why, this is the ring I saw' ex-
claimed. I'This is the very ring" was
startled to see this ring of my dream be-
fore me. The dream had impressed me
strangely, and during the days that had
elapsed had related it to three or four
friends, one of whom, Miss Helen M
Knowlton, the artist, was in my room
when Miss Farmer came. Miss Knowlton
clearly recalled that I had described this
ring perfectly some time during the days
between my dream of it on the previous
Sunday night and the meeting of Miss
Farmer and seeing it on the following
Saturday night.
And what of it? the reader will ask
Perhaps nothing more than an unmistak-
able instance of the law of vibration from
mind to mind, the ring being used as an
object easily recognized and identified

ena as material for research into psychic

Borneo's Fishes.

More than 300 species of fish hitherto
unknown to naturalists are described by
NJ. Leon Valiant as inhabiting the lakes
of Borneo. Many other fish are identical
with species living in the waters of the
Sunday islands and of Indo- China. As
these species never reach the sea, they
furnish another argument in favor OF the
theory of q former connection of these
countries

The cause is some arrangement of the
uterus or womb. 'Backache is Vie sure
symptom.
For years Sarah Holstein, who lives at
z Perry Street, in Lowell, Mass, suffered
with falling of the womb. The best doc
tors failed to relieve her, and as last
resort she purchased six bottles of Lydia
E. Pinkhcm's Vegetable Compound.
Now she is a well woman.
The dreadful pain in her back stopped
after taking the second bottle. She
wishes she had taken it sooner, and
saved both money and years of suffering.
This Vegetable Compound is the one
unfailing remedy for such troubles. A
woman discovered it and gave it to woman.
