A Mail Car to Run by Electricity on
Elevated Tracks.
A. B. Creil Of Ionia, Mich, has per-
fected a model Of a postal car which
will attain a speed Of 200 miles an
hour, which Is designed by the inventor
to carry mail between the principal
cities Of the country. This car Is to be
thirty-three feet long and to run on a
steel elevated track. eighteen feet above
the ground. 1t Is estimated that the
road will cost SIC, 900 a mile. The car
Is provided with an apparatus for pick
ing up and throwing off mail, so ar
ranged that It will work automatically.
The model is provided with t~hirty-four
apartments. and, carrying out the scale
Of the model, the bags to be dropped
In each place will be capable Of holding
10000 letters. Under the %patentee's
idea power houses can be supplied at
intervals Of 200 miles. and the electric
current SUFFICIENT to make the entire run

be generated from the power at

writer in the English National Observ-

for the development of individual char

TO bed at a fixed hour and to take q
definite amount of exercise each day;
and-a more serious defect-they do
mot each have a separate study. Where
the students board out, which Is the
case I'm most of the mixed universities
and some of the women's colleges, they
share the life of the family they join;
hut where. as at Vassar, halls Of resi-
dence are provided, two or three bed
rooms to one study are the usual rule.

atudent has at least II room to her

a bedroom study; here she works. med

her friends, and, mistress OF her time,
enjoys the independence and solitude
which are too often absent from the
everyday life of the average middle
class girl. Under these influences she
ou,ckly develops sobriety and self
command, which are the best corrective

In the early twenties Thomas Dart

rical career by doing little negro bits, F"

writer in the Boston Herald. While in
Louisville the theater at which he per-
formed looked ont back upon an old
stable yard, around which there was
constantly Longing an old. decrepit
slave named Jim Crow, who was so
frightfully deformed as to appear inhu-
man. His left shoulder sloped off from
the neck in way that would indicate
that the bone had been inverted. His
lower limbs were dreadfully distorted,
the left knee being huge bony knot
larger than his head, which caused him
to move about with a pitiful, yet ludi-
crous, hobble.
This forlorn darby was in the habit
of grooming queer old tune, and desig-
mated the close of each verse by taking
a peculiar step rockin de heel" Rice
closely watched this unconscious per
former, and conceived the idea of pro-
ducing "a similar stage character, which,
he felt assured, would take wonder
fully. Accordingly, he made up precise
ly as the original and appeared upon a
Louisville stage singing a score of hui
morous verses to the air-slightly
changed and quickened-of the poor,
wretched cripple. The audience received
this innovation with bursts Of applause,
encoring him dozen times the first
night. And thus Jim Grow" jumped

engrossed my childish mind more than
all the scientific explanations of the
phenomenon which Sir John Franklin
was so we'll qualified TO give.
In those primitive days it was held
that the best mode of witnessing the OBJ
scuration of the sun was TO watch it
through pieces of smoked glass, with
which we were all duly provided when
we sailed forth to an open piece Of
ground where nothing impeded the view.
The result was that in the course Of a
few minutes the noses of every one pres
ent were severely blackened-uncon-
sciously to themselves-and the appear
ance of the whole scientific party was
irresistibly comic.
Sir John Franklin appeared then Sc
full Of life and energy and high spirits

that last fatal voyage, which held the
country in suspense as TO his fate during
