Names of Carriages.

The fact that the first coach ever
brought to this country-it being i'm
ported by Colonel Delaney Kane,
son.in-law of Commodore Vanderbilt,
some twenty years ago-was named by
it's owner sthe tally-ho" is not any
more justification for twisting the
meaning and enlarging upon the i'm
portanee of the word, SO as to make 1T
refer to coaches generally considered,
than it would be to call all yachts
"Alvas" because Vanderbilt chooses to
call his boat by that name. The word
"tally-ho" is used in aperverted sense
as applied to coaching. 1t is hunting
term, pure and simple.
Take the common expression that
you hear on every size. 'Mr. So
and. so has just passed by in his drag"
Now, man up in such things would
expect to see person go by with a
swell four-in- hand tournout. Drag is
the name applied to coach when it
is used privately. AS soon as four
in n.hand coach is put into public SER
vice and fare is charged for riding
upon it, it ceases to be drag and be-
comes coach, just as hanson when
driven publicly becomes hanson
cab.
Another common mistake is the call
ing of two horses team instead OF
pair. A pair of horses is never team
unless hitched tandem. A team is
something more than pair, such as a
tandem, unicorn, four-in-hand, etc.,
and to hear people talk abouta pair of
horses as team is quite as bad as to
hear person say, "John, put that
single set of harness on the bay" A
single set of harness is an impos.
sibility, as it takes double equipment
for set.
Used in the sense of the word trap
is another expression which you never
hear except in the very Yankee States:
1t seems to be generic name for all
kinds of traps, and nothing Is too low
ly or too lofty to apply the term to.
A name almost as general as o rig in
its significance is "dog cart" 1t
seems as if anything having two
wheels should be given this name, ac-
cording to the notion here. The only
thing that should be given that name,
however, is two-wheel cart having
box under the seat, called o dog box,
for the reception of dogs, guns, game
and such things.
You very seldom hear the arrange
ment of one horse in front OF two
spoken of as unicorn; it is more
usually called "spike," yet this is
the slang name for it. Properly speak.
ing, a "spike" is the name that should
be applied TO such teams as you find
working in iron or dray wagons, when
the driver rides the near horse and
drives the lead horse with a jerk line.

Following Instructions.

The late Professor Huxley, some
years ago, attended meeting of the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science, at Belfast, Ireland.
All the servants in the town assembled
regularly at certain hall. Professor
Huxley arose late one morning and
feared he should be late at the meet
ing. Coming out of his lodgings he
hailed one of the Irish vehicles known
as an outside car, and mounted it.
"Now, drive FAST" he said to the
driver, ''fol I am in great hurry"
OFF went the driver at mad pace,
which almost threw the professor off
his seat, and began charging along the
road in somewhat indefinite way.
Presently it occurred to Huxley to say,
as he held on for his life:
"My good man, do you know where
want to go?"
"No, yer Amer" answered the
driver, coolly; "you didn't tell me
where to go, but annaway, I'm driyin'
fast I"

few rods, but his condition
is soon the worse for it. Bet

Food gives force. If you are
thin, without appetite; pale,
because of thin blood; and
easily exhausted; why further
weaken the body by applying
the whip. Better begin on a
more permanent basis. Take
something which will build up
the tissues and supply force
to the muscular, digestive, and

A reporter called, on Wednesday
evening, May s, 1896, at the resi-
dence OF Mr.. William McMahon, No.
1858 Pearl street, Brooklyn village
(Cleveland), O., to learn, II possible,
the cause OF the noticeable Inn
provement In his physical condition
over that Of a year ago, when he
was sufferer from Indigestion and
various organi. disorders. "You
see,' began Mr.. Mcmahon, ITO start
with, my work-that Of settingtype
at the case-allows me little chance
for bodily exercise, and is alto
gether too conflning for anybody who
is in the least subject to indiges-
ton or dyspepsia. Perhaps not moro
sothan many another mechanic or
artisan who Is constantly indoors and
under severe mental strain, while
the physical development Is sadly in
need Of something to keep 1t in
trim. Well, that has been my COM
-nlaint for Yssrs-and some months
ago / became very bilious, and con-
stipation made lite miserable for
me Mt times. Then 1t took seat In
my LIVER, which became no,icsably
inactive, and I became alarmed
about 1t. The frst thing turned
my attention to was to secure
silver regulator which, however,
failed to regulate; next sought
relief in liver pills, which so panied
and gripod me that the cure was, 1
thought, worse than the disease.
Tho next thing did WAS to throw
away the whole shooting match,
and resolva to take no more proprt-
etory medicines. However, on
hearing my tale of woe, ono day, at
the Office. IL fellow-workman offered
me small Tabule-Ripans. he
called it-which, he said, ne would
guarantee to act on the liver. 1
took 1t under protest, expecting to
be doubled up in about fifteen min
utes with the 'gripes.' But I was
agreeably surprised in its action. II
was very gentle, and resolyedto
try box. Since then have gradu-
ally noted an entire change in the
working of my system, and think
that Ripans Tabules are the best
remedy for liver and stomach
troubles this side Of anywhere.
They are really g substitute for
physical exercise. Have one before
you go2" And Mr. Mcmahon pro-
duced his box Of "stand-bys" from
his inside pocket as the reporter
took his leave.

Wolves at Oregon Slaughter Houses.

There is said to be den of wolves,
coyotes and big grays in the neigh
borhood of the Oregon slaughter
house, two miles out OF the city of
Cheyenne, Wyoming. A pack of
regular wolfhounds is kept at the
slaughter house, and SO far these dogs
have killed upward of a hundred
wolves and coyotes. San Francisco

And one sings on the wing
