Lights by the Ten Thousand. .

The new Broad Street Station OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad at Phila-
delphia, when completed, will con-
tain over hundred miles of concealed
electric wiring. About fifty-three
miles of wire will be required for the
electric lighting alone, which will be
done by about 10000 incandescent
lights. Not gas pipe can be found
in the great structure, the sole reli-
ance being on the electric lights. In
the waiting room alone there will be
$500 lights, located principally in
the ceiling, where they will be ar
ranged in rows about the large square
panels. The office building will re-
quire about 5000 lights, while the
other |, 500 will be used in the rooms
on the ground floor, retiring rooms,
dining rooms and restalrant.-

Camel Riding.

To mount camel for the first time
is, for Howadji, until he gets the
hang of it, complicated and anxious
process. The first risk is that the
animal will rise while the rider is
climbing into the saddle. This he
will inevitably do if the attendant
has forgotten to place his foot on the
camels knee.
The novice having settled in the
saddle, which is like fiat wooden
tea tray on the top of hump, and
taken tight grip of the "horns," of
which there is one in front and one
behind, waits in suspense, wondering
which end of the animal means to get
up first. The action, when it does
begin, is violent seesaw in three
jerks, which impel him alternately in
the direction of the head and tail,
until, if he is lucky, he finds himself
ten feet from the ground. The fif-
teenth century pilgrim, Felix Fabri,
so exactly expresses my sentiments
about camels that / will quote his re-
marks. He says
~ CdIIlcl HdS IL slIlull Htdu duu 10
without horns. 1t has big and ter
rible eyes, and always seems sor-
rowful and troubled animal. It's
eyes are like fire beacons, and big re-
hections shine in them; for whatever
camel looks at seems great and
huge to it, wherefore it seems to
view everything with wonder and
alarm. When, therefore, a man goes
up to it the beast begins to tremble,
so that the man perceives that the
beast trembles because the man COM
ing toward it seems to it to be four
times bigger than he really is.
Had not God so ordered it, this
animal would not be as tame and dis.
ciplined as it is. When it screams,
being in trouble, it opens its mouth,
shakes it's head, and raises up its
long neck, wagging it to and fro, SO
that a man who is not accustomed to
it is disturbed and frightened. -

uNpERrHE JUDGES NOSE.
n Fisherman's Funny Experience on
the Potomac.

Years ago Judge Bibb was one OF
Washington's best known celebrltles,
and gentleman of the old school.
He was a famous fisherman, and SO
much devoted to angling that he was
regarded by our Juvenile fishermen
as perfect walking Cor boating) edi-
ton of Izaak Walton.
"On a fine spring morning about
two years since, | started, in COM
pany with a party of friends, for the
Little Falls of the Potomac. We were
prospecting the chances of rockfish,
better known in your latitude as
striped bass 1t was quite early
in the season, but not too early for
Judge Bibb. He had arrived long be-
fore us, and sat upon ledge of rock,
rod in hand-the very picture OF
sentinel patience unrelieved. Hail
ing him from a distance, / asked,
with the natural instinct of fisher
man:
"What luck, Judge?'
"Luck. sir? worst luck in the
world, sir been fishing here for four
hours, and haven't had nibble!"
What bait are you using"
Capital bait; live frog, sir
'I ventured to suggest, mildly, that
perhaps live frog was not such very
capital bait whereupon the judge
burst forth
Don't tell me, sir! you can't
teach me anything, sir! Don't L
know? Best bait in the world, sir;
only the luck; awful luck! four
hours without nibblen
by this time we had reached the
Judges position, and while preparing
our tackle Mr.. D., one of the
party observed frog sitting on the
bank, within few feet of the judge.
Said he:
" Judge, let me catch fresh bait
for you see a frog on the bank
close beside you
Thank you, sir; | wish you would
catch that frog, sir, It's been star
inc me in the face all the morning. |
believe it knows that | have one of
it's family on my hook. Ha! ha! ha !
Catch it, sir; by all means, catch it,
"Mr. D. shortened his rod, and,
cautiously striking with the sharp
end, pinned the frog through one OF
it's hinder legs. Just then. as Mr..
D. was lifting aloft his prize, the
Judge began winding up his reed, and
uttered a joyous cry:
"'Hold still sir! Keep quiet
I've got a bite!"
Rapidly wound the reel, rapidly
came in the slackening line, till the
last few yards of it foated upon the
surface of the stream; and then, with
a face that boded thunder, the judge
turned to Mr.. D..
Why, sir, you've caught my
frogn
"And so it was. The frog, with
the impulse of all amphibious ami
mails when wounded, had made for
the shore; and there it had crouched,
for four hours, directly under the
judges nose, and holding his hook
out of water.

The celebrated German word which
signited Mutual Life and Fire In
surance Company, and which has
been cited as the longest word in any
language, apparently has rival in
another word, which is found in a
German periodical:
hornsteinfegermeisterberufgenos-
6enSchaft
Though this is single word in
German, several words are required
to express it in English. 1t means,
as nearly as anything else, "The pro-
fessional association of master Chin
ney sweeps"
An English word of respectable
dimensions can be produced simply
by running all these words into. one,
without space or hyphen.

ConpeIl satiOn.

1t is said that Roger, the cele-
brated French tenor. was exceedingly
loyal to his profession and was apt to
take otfense at any slight. whether or
not it was intended. On one Occa-
sion, he was engaged for the sum OF
sixty pounds to sing at.the house of a
rich flnancier.
Roger sang his first song magni-
flcently, but no one paid him the
slightest attention, and the guests
talked their loudest.
Presently the host thought the
time had come for another song, and
sent for Rogers. He could not be
found, and that evening was seen no
more. Next day a note came from
him, accompanied by the sum of
eighty pounds. The note ran thus:
81 have the honor to return the
sixty pounds which l received for
singing at your party; and l beg
leave TO add twenty pounds more for
having so greatly disturbed the con-
versation of your guests"

BONNEY NOT DISHEARTENED.
He Thinks the Late Religious Congress
Will Have Beneficial Effect.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-President C. C. Bon
ney, of the worlds fair parliament of re-
lgions, commenting to-day on the report
Of ex-Secretary of State John w. Foster,
after a tour around the world, that the eff
feet of the parliament had been dishearten-
ing to Christian missionaries abroad, said:
Assuming that the first effect is appar-
emily prejudicial to Christian missionaries,
/ am entirely confident that the final out
come of the parliament of religions will be
enormously beneficial to the cause of Chris
tian missions, and will, indeed, finally re-
suit in an acknowledgment throughout the
whole world of the supremacy of the Chris
tan religion. The first effect of the new
excitement will be to create a willingness
on the part of the foreign peoples to put
their religions in comparison with that of
Jesus Christ. This is something that hith-
erto they have never been willing to do,
and every sincere Christian would hail such
a comparison with delight. One thing is al
most universally admitted: henceforth.
Christian missionary work must be con-
Quoted with increased ability, learning and
wisdom. We can no longer think that
while we need men of a high order OF merit
for home service, We can be justified i'm
sending those Of Indifferent ability to what
we have been accustomed to call heather
lands /, therefore, expect 10 see the great
missionary societies of the world enlarge
and increase their work and adapt it more
wisely than hitherto has ever been lone to
the actual conditions of the people to whom
they desire to bring a knowledge of the Di-
vine person and the divine words"

ID SCOTT O
He Will Stand No "Monkeving" in the
Case of Editor ROsewater.

OMAHA. Neb.. Oct. ID. - The unusual
scene of one district judge defying the
authority of five other judges of the dis
trict sitting as a court was witnessed in
Omaha to-day and is likely to provoke
some very peculiar situations before be-
ing settled. The case of editor Rosewater,
of the Bee. who is charged with libel by
ex-Sheriff Bennett. and who asked to be
tried by some Judge other than Judge c.
r. Scott, caused the trouble. On the
EDITORS appeal to the other five
judges they decided to hear the case and
cited the editor to appear at 9 a. m. to-
morrow for trial. When Judge Scott was
notified Of the judges decision he declared
that the case could not be transferred from
the criminal branch of the court. He then
made an order multiplying the action of the
five judges and ordering Mr.. Rosewater to
appear before him at 9 a. m. tomorrow
for trial. While court was in session he
said: I'VE rave now met the crossroads,
and / do not propose to take either side,
but, instead. am going to tread right in
the middle of the road. Here / am, an
American citizen, siXty-two years of age,
and stand upon a broad guage platform
that will permit me to give every man
a fair and impartial trial. If | did not
want 10 give Rosewater a fair trial the mo-
ton might be excused. There is no law to
take this case off my docket, and il will stay
there. If there is any monkeying about it,
some one is going to be cited TO appear for
contempt, and / think / am a pretty good
authority on contempt"

MR.. LAYARD SPEAKS.

pie and Queen of England.

WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 16.-An Della
ware turned out tonight to formally well
come ambassador Thomas F. Bayard back
70 his State and city. after an absence of
eighteen months as the representative of
his government to the court of st. James.
1t was a great demonstration and those
who attended were numbered only by the
capacity of the opera house in which the
ceremonies were held. Deafening applause
greeted ambassador Bayard as he was con-
Quoted upon the stage, and he was visibly
affected by the warmth of affection of the
greeting. The ceremonies were brief and
simple, without formality. Senator Gray
arose. and. on behalf of the vast audience,
welcomed the honored guest of the evening.
In responding Mr.. Bayard said, speaking of
his treatment abroad: From one and all
in the country to which 1 have been ac-
credited has come TO me nothing but the
most unbounded courtesy and kindness. Ev-
erywhere l found the name of an American
was received with honor; was received with
favor. such as L believe has been extended
TO no other people than ourselves. From

dations of this government of ours were not
laid in craft, in cunning or corruption. They
were laid in self-respect and honor; they
were laid by men who, when they made a
law. meant to obey it, and not to evade it.
They are governed by laws of their own
creation. 1t Is that spirit of justice to your
%neighbor, Of dealing fairly and candidly by

that he shall deal so by you. 1t is so in
