Old Coaching Days.

In 1926 driving had become fine art,
horses were good, the coach and its ap-
pointments perfect, and both coachmen
and guard were superior to the men of 10
or 20 years previously. Several broken
down gentlemen took to the profession,
including the famous Mr.. Stevenson, Mr..

1mmeasurabIe distances.

Every we'll informed reader knows or be-
lieves that each twinkling star is either an
inhabited globe or great blazing orb OF
fire, like our sun, but 20 far away that
they appear to be merely an immeasurab be
distance. One Of the giants Of the lot Is
Sirius, the "dog star" which ia removed
from the earth by such an immeasurable

our globe from it.
Now to the comparison. Light travels

Berlin Public Kitchens.

A public kitchen for the working
classes was inaugurated in 1865 by a
German woman, Han Morgenstein. She
has established many of these kitchens,
each one having public dining room,
comfortably warmed and furnished and
supplied with the daily papers. Each
kitchen, supplying perhaps from 300 to
400 people with daily meals, is managed
by local committee, the whole scheme
being under the control of central
council. All the paid cooks are on the
premises by 6 in the morning, and tho
vegeta bles and meat have been brought
in before them.
Waste of any kind is strictly forbid
den. A subscription of SO. $50 was sufi-
Gent to start this scheme; the reserve
fund set aside for providing new kitch-
ems increases each year, while the
council pays fair wages and is able to
pension off it's old servants. For a sum
varying from 3 to 6 cents the Berlin
workman can obtain satisfactory meal
at any of these restaurants. A dinner
for cents allows basin of thick, sub
stantial German soup, plate of vege-
tables and a plate of pudding, and
roll Of bread in addition costs little
over one-fourth OF a cent.-Nineteenth
Century.

A Mighty Audience.

The decision made by the Worlds
fair authorities to provide seats for
$4,000 people in the colossal Manu-
features building during the dedicatory
exercises will awaken some more people
to an appreciation of the surprising pro-
portions of this enterprise. One hundred
and twenty-five thousandl The popula-
ton of a big city might sit down to-
gether in this auditorium. Half dozen
Illinois cities might attend, or the peo-
pie of 100 respectable villages could be
assembled in it. The auditorium will be
twenty-five times as large as the largest
now in the city, and fifty or sixty times
that of the average Chicago theater.
Like several other things which are to
appear at Jackson park, it will open
some peoples eyes to the vastness of the
scale on which modern celebrations can
be conducted. Chicago News.

The Engine Refused to Move.

Richard Van Horn, of jackson, Mich,
one of the oldest engineers on the Michi-
gan Central railroad, died lately, and
his body was taken to his former home
at Marshall, Mich. 1t was his last wish
to be buried there, and that his old en-
CINE, "Nine Spot" pull the train. A
special train was furnished by the COM
pany to take a number of his friends and
companions to the scene of the burial,
and was pulled by old "Nine Spot" AS
the word was given to start the train
the engine would not move. The en-
gineer reversed the lever and threw her
back, but she would not bulge an inch.
After examining the machinery for
some time the engineer found nothing
whatever the matter. Then the old,
seemingly heartbroken machine steamed
away. The acts of "Nine Spot" caused
much comment among railroad men,
and the engineer himself is just a little
afraid of her.-Philadelphia Ledger.

The Serpentine Dance of Old Nile.

A learned correspondent writes as
follows concerning the new dance:
Numerous young ladies and gentle
men are claiming the honor of invent
ing or first introducing it. They forget
that it is only a development of
Pharaoh's favorite bee Dance still to
be met with on the banks of the Nile.
1t was brought into prominence about
thirty-fve years ago by Donate, the one
legged dancer at Covent Garden thea
ter. The dance wants figure and per-
sonal beauty first, and arms rather than
legs afterward. The exertion of work
ing the eighty yards of china silk into
graceful folds is about equal to the
muscular exercise involved in a per-
Torrance with the Indian clubs, and the
foot dancing is necessarily confined to a
small space, for fear of ENHANCEMENT.
The serpentine dance would probably be
classed as Spanish"
My correspondent may be right enough
as to the date to which the dance goes
back. l am no Psychologist. But he
is in error as to the date of Donate, the
one legged dancer, who must have ap
peared nearer five and twenty years ago
than five and thirty. Time goes quickly
enough, to be sure, but, speaking from
memory, should have said that Donate
was in Covent Garden pantomime
somewhere we'll down the sixties. -Lon-

Humors of the Cholera Scare.

Every serious crisis has its amusing
side. The cholera phase through which
we have been passing has developed
some ludicrous situations. A woman
got in Brooklyn street car one day last
week and sat down next to we'll dressed
man. He smelled so of carbolic acid
thai she hurriedly exchanged her place
for one opposite between man and
a woman. One of them, it could not
be determined which, was redolent of
chloride of lime, the fumes of which are
peculiarly sickening to the woman i'll
question. Out of the frying pan into
fire, she thought, and before she made O
third move she decided to select her
neighbor with care.
A small boy sat in corner. He was
safe, she concluded, and, Drawing the
surprise of the passengers, who could
not understand her restlessness, she once
more changed her place. A wave OF
camphor assailed her nostrils as she
seated herself beside the child, but this
was endurable, and she kept still. Pretty
soon woman opposite leaned over to
the boy.
Clarence" she said, ''have you got
your bag on?"
"Yes'm," he replied, and fumbling at
his jacket produced small flannel bag
tied by a cord about his neck. 1t was
filled with the camphor that was seeming

fed, told him to replace it. She evil
daDtlv fa1t that her sons safety was as
sured and did not realize that the streng
drug thus absorbed by the pores of the
skin weakens the system to degree
that renders it the more liable to infec-
ton. Camphor, chloride of lime and
carbolic acid in one Car full of passen-
gers may be taken as a pungent COM

The "Dens" of Famous Authors.


A French chronicler has collected
some very curious statistics on subject
that has interest even outside Paris. he
was anxious to know how several select
ed great men furnished what we should
call their dens, what he calls their
workrooms. To gain access to all the
rooms was not easy, but fortunately
many of them were photographed, and
30 the evidence was complete. The
chronicler's leaning was evidently to-
ward men of letters, and his results are,
on the whole, surprising. Daudet's
study was severe in its simplicity, the
furniture the scantiest and the plainest.
That Of Dumas had few pictures on
the wall, small panel pictures, and on
his table sphinx in bronze Cop
pee, the poet, has his books in ex-
traordinary disorder, and his appli ances

Sardou's is absolutely plain and very
untidy; Zola's crammed with bric-a-
