We're once allowed to sleep every one
else in the train must inevitably BE-
obliged to remain awake 1t was there
fore in the spirit of self sacrifice that ]
persuaded my friends to agree to play
cards all night. You see, our talking is
SO low that it will disturb no ono but
you. If it keeps you awake. it will pre-
vent you from snoring, and the Others
In the car can sleep soundly. We are
willing to sacrifice our personal comfort
for theirs, and you ought to be rs un.
selfish as we are. So would advise you
to calm yourself and cease from trou-
bling u.s.
Nearly all the passengers We're deep
II interested by this time, but they We're
evidently divided as to sentiment. Some
of them agreed with the man and some
with the woman, and discussions arose
all over the car. AS for the woman, she
seemed to have had enough, for with
an angry red spot on each cheek she re-
turned to her seat and snuggled down,
to slumber If she might. In this she
was eminently successful, and ut the
same time she indicated the stout mans
Judgment as to her nose, for in half
hour or so she began to snore like n low
pressure steam engine. OF course there
was n general laugh all over the car
when the snores were heard.
Considerable interest had been mani
tested by their fellow travellers all this
time in young man end woman who
sat near the center OF the car. They
looked very much like bride and groom,
for she wore hat trimmed with laven-
der feathers and carried n pair of white
gloves in her hand. while he wore a
rather bedraggled knot of flowers in the
lapel of his frock coat and sported n
white necktie. They had been talking
constantly, in low tones ut first, as il
afraid they would be overheard, but as
time passed they grew lessand less shy.
and at last seemed to forget themselves
completely.

A FREE LANCE IN POLITICS.

The Picturesque and Interesting Career
OF Carl Schurz.
Carl SchurZ, who has been reelected
president of the National Civil Service
Reform league, is n pioneer and has
long been one of the foremost leaders in
the reform. As secretary of the interior
he introduced competitive examinations,
and since retiring from the cabinet Of
President Hayes in 1881 he has labored
actively with voice and pen for the pro-
motion of the movement.
Carl Schurz has had singularly
evcntful and interesting career. Born
near Cologne, Prussia, March 2, 1929,
he was educated in tho University of
Bonn and early took an active interest
in politics. He was such an ardent re-
former that he joined the revolutionists
and was soon compelled TO flee from his
native land. He went to Paris, thence
TO London and finally came to America
in 1852. He located first i'll Philadel-
phia and few years later moved to
Wisconsin. There he Joined the Repub

The little creature which possesses
the distinction of having more legs than
any other animal is that which belongs
to the family of insects known as mile
peds, or thousand footed. There are
several different species of these, but
they all possess the common character
istic of having segmented bodies, each
segment of which is provided with its
own pair of feet. These are set SO close
ly along the body as to resemble hairs.
and when they move one after another
with perfect regularity the effect is pre-
cisely the same on small scale as that
of a field of oats undulating under the
influence of the wind. Some species of
millepeds have as many as $50 separate
aud distinct legs. They are all per-
fectly harmless, unlike the centipeds,
which frequently have the power of in
hicting poisonous wounds. Brooklyn

Punching Steel and Iron.

According to a paper read before the
Engineers club, of Philadelphia, on the
proper limit of thickness to steel which
may be punched, the statement is made
that the thicker the steel the greater the
damage caused by such an operation.
Recent tests made to determine this
matter are declared to indicate that
punching Injuries steel less than iron up
to, say, three-quarters of an inch in
thickness, at which point the two ma
terials are about equal in this respect,
and beyond this point the value of steel
after punching decreases quite rapidly
as the thickness increases; in iron the
percentage seems to be much more con-
slant.
The character of the fracture after
punching is also found to be materially
affected by the thickness of the mate
rial. In view of these circumstances, it
is proposed to limit to one-half inch the
thickness of the metal subjected to
punching, excepting in the cases of
girders of more than fifty feet in length,
when it may be nine-sixteenths of an
inch; in top cords and end posts, five
eighths of an inch, and in shoes, pedes-
tails and bed plates, three-quarters OF
an inch.--New York Sun.

The Man Who Tired Carlyle.

There is story of Carlyle in his old
age having taken the following fare
we'll in his broadest Scotch of a young
friend who had had him in charge for
walks, and who while almost always
adapting himself to Carlyles mood had
on single occasion ventured to dis
agree with him, II would have you to
know, young man, that you have the
capacity of being the greatest bore in
Chrstendom. The boredom had con-
sisted solely in the rather negative sin
of not having been convinced of the
truth of one of Carlyle's dogmas, sin
all the more heinous because, instead of
standing boldly up to Carlyle and de-
claring his doctrine utterly perverse,
the companion had betrayed his weak
ness by an apologetic tone.
Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and he
respected antagonists, but he could not
endure being merely thwarted without
being thoroughly reused. He felt in
that case that he had made no impress
sion at all on his interlocutor; that he
had neither won him nor excited him
to resistance. And nothing bored him
so much as that. OF course it is only
exceptionally despotio minds that are
bored in this way.-London Spectator

MATCHED AND DRESSED FLOORING, ETC.
All from Reading a Novel.

There are two men in this city who
are thoroughly convinced that much
good may come out of the perusal OF
fashy novels. They have been sojourn-
ing in state prison for the last five years
-one in Sing Sing and the other in Au-
burn. A day or two before Thanksgiv-
ing they returned to their respective
homes free men. The governor had be-
come satisfied that they were innocent
men, wrongfully convicted, and had
pardoned them.
The reading Of fashy novel by one
Of the convicts while lounging in the
corridors of the prison led to an investi-
cation which convinced great many
influential persons in this city that two
men had been railroaded to prison-one
for fifteen years and the other for eight
cen years-simply because Of lack Of
proper legal defense The reader of the
novel was so impressed by the exu-
berant sentiment that trickled through
the narrative that he made up his mind
that the authoress, for it was a woman's
story, must be very soft hearted.
DE therefore lost no Jlme In sendnS
her written statement of his case, with
an appeal to aid him in securing his lib
erty. The story touched the heart Of
the novel writer, and she supplied the
necessary money to have complete in
vestigation of the case made by an en-
inent New York lawyer The active in
terest of New York newspaper man
was also enlisted, and good deal of
hard work was done within a few
months. The producer Of lurid novels
forgot her calling in her enthusiastic
fight for justice, and it is safe to say
that tho two liberated men will never
be found in the ranks of those who treat
her stories with contumely.-New York
Times

According to Pratorius, the man in
the moon is the Patriarch Isaac, carry
ing the bundle of sticks which were to
be lighted to sacrifice his own body on
the mountain top. Dante believes him
to be Cain, carrying bundle of thorns,
the meanest offering his lands afforded,
as a present to God. In Iceland the peo-
pie claim that they can see the face of
Adam in the moon and that of Eve in
the sun. Among the Frieburgers there
is superstition which says that the
MARKS and spots ON the moons face are
the outlines of the traitor, Judas lscar-
lot holding his hand over his face while
sneezing just prior to hanging himself.
This last belief accords with the old
Frankish legend, which says that there
was no spot on Luna's bright face until
after the time of the crucifxion OF
Christ. Still another story tells us that
in the time of the creation God threw
an offending angel against the face of
the moon, while another is to the effect
that the moon witnessed the creation of
Adam and Eve and took an impress of
their features on his surface, intending
to people his own land with similar be-
ings. When he essayed to initiate Gods
works, he made nothing but a Shiny ser
pent, which since that day has contin-
ued to fold and unfold its mighty coils
in full view of the descendants of the
God created beings.-St. Louis Repub-
liz,
