QUA lNcoMpARAsLe ICE CREAM.
Europeans Strive to Initiate IL. but Their
Efforts Have Been Vain.

Ice cream Is pre- eminently an Ameri-
can specially. All tho Atlantic paSsen-
ger steamers plying between this port
aud Europe take aboard in New York a
sufficient supply of ice cream for the
voyage back to New York as well as for
the outward journey, despite the fact
that the cost of the article is greater
here than abroad, and that it is expen-
sive stuf to keep. The round trip occu-
pies at least three weeks, and the cream
has to last that period. one week of
which the ship is tied up in dock, with
the cream eating ~ Ice i'll the refriger-
ator at prodigious rate. When the au-
tumn rush hOmeward sets in and the
steamers are crowded to the limit, the
amount of ice cream thus carried from
this port and kept at least two weeks for
use ON the return voyage is a big item
III the provision account Many kinds Of
provisions and supplies are cheaper in
Europe than here, and Of these the
steamers lay in double stock at the Eu-
ropean ports. Ice cream, too, IL cheaper
in Europe, but it has the fatal disad-
vantage that it is not ice cream as the
American regards the article
Ice has come to be less of a novelty
on the table in Europe in recent years,
mainly, doubtless, because of the insist
ence of the thousands of Americans " ho
make Europe their summer playground.
Ice cream, too, you can get in most Of
the big cities, even in England. But il
usually lacks the main, indefnable quail
titles that make it so attractive at home.
Europeans may talk about the inimitable
bouquet of their wines, but the bouquet
of American ice cream Is beyond them.
This is not n matter Of natural advan-
tages and facilities. as is claimed for the
wine and other things. for Switzerland
is full Of ice topped mountains, and hei
valleys are filed with cows
A varied and recent experience with
the ice creams Of Europe induces the
conclusion that only the "sorbcttn" one

tion Of the ordinary every day ice cream

CAUGHT HIS TRAlN ON HORSEBACK.
A Runaway Locomotive Had Many sleep
ing Passengers In Tow.


Early one morning the engineer and
fireman u the Santa Fe overland train,
bound east, when near Cajon pass. i'm
agiued they saw something ON the track
right ahead. Thinking the train was
about To eo wrecked they both jumped.
The engineer was rather badly hurt, but
when the fireman picked himself up out
of the dust he found that the engine had
made kindling wood of a wagon to
which two horses had been attached.
Their driver had seen the headlight Of
the engine and had jumped in time to
save himself, and the animals them
selves were cropping the dried grass
along the roadside, which showed that
they had not been greatly disturbed by
the accident.
But the train, with nobody at tho en-
gine's throttle, was plunging away
through the darkness, the passengers
asleep in their berths, utterly uncon-
scious that they We're being drawn by n
wild locomotive.
The fireman, who had hCen left be-
hind, thought he would try 10 uvertake
the flying train ON foot Then he changed
his mind and, jumping astride one Of
the horses. he set out after the runaway
train. He knew it must stop shortly. as
IL had TO climb very steep grade, and
If the fire under the boilers was not kept
up the supply Of steam would not fur
nish efficient pressure to keep the
whvcls : ing around. The vagrant train
did stop mile and a half from where
the accident occurred. There did not
seem TO he any reason for an interrupt
tion uf the journey just at that point,
and 50 the conductor and brakeman hur-
ried ahead with their lanterns to ask the
engineer what had given out.

The Princes cast.off Clothing.

AS the Prince of Wales has set the
pace in matters of fashion for many
years past 1t is something Of interest
to know how his purchases are made.
According to one of the British papers
the prince never orders less than eight
suits Of clothes at time, for each of
which he pays the uniform price of
$40. He never wears pair Of trOus-
ers more than four times, and since his
valet does not fall heir to his ward
robe, and as his discarded clothes are
not among the perquisites Of his valet,
there is stock of thousands of them
ut Marlborough house. At his death
he will doubtless have as large a col
lection as did King George w., the
auction of whose clothes extended
through three weeks. All the princes
clothes, old and new-except his hats,
which for some reason are kept at
Sandringham-are stored at Marlbor-
ough house in what is known as the
brushing rooms" where several men
are kept busy looking after them. The
uniforms and state robes alone at
Marlborough house are insured for
$4,000, so that his entire wardrobe
must represent a very comfortable
fortune.

Money in Bicycle inventions.

Inventions Of bicycle sundries are just
now apparently the most profitable di-
rection in which mechanical ingenuity
can be directed. All the really merit
oriOus devices on the markets for
wheels and wheelmen are selling well
and returning fine dividends to their
owners. And the most remarkable
feature of the case is the fact that
these prove paying investments from
the start and no losing system Of in
Producing them is necessary, as In
other businesses.
One of the most remarkable instances
of this state of affairs Is the case of a
popular saddle made Of aluminium and
leather. 1t was invented less than two
years ago and has been on the market
but a short time. Yet this year the
sales have already reached $4,000, and
there are more to come. On this So
600 the inventor realized so cents
apiece, or $4,000, n tidy little sum,
which would be considered fortune
by some people and does fairly well for
an annual income on a bicycle sundry.

Great lcebergs.

Icebergs in the North Atlantic this
season have been exceptionally numer-
Gus, especially near the southeastern
extremity of Newfoundland. Incom-
ing vessels at st. Johns, NewfOund-
land, report passing icebergs continu-
ously. One field Of ice passed was four
miles wide and 81 miles long, and as
many as IL bergs were sighted at one
time from one point. Several very
lofty masses Of ice are also reported,
one being 800 feet high and more than
400 feet long, while another enormous
mass, though smaller, was 400 feet
high and 600 feet long. Icebergs Of
more than 1000 feet above the sea sur
face have not infrequently been re-
ported in the southern ocean, 1900 feet
being the greatest height recorded, but
a berg 600 feet high in the North At
lantic Is exceptional. When 1t is re-
membered that icebergs are sub
merged six-sevenths of their height one
600 feet high above the water surface
represents a mass almost a mile high.

Facts About Flags.

Did you ever think Of the number Of
American flags which float from pub
lie buildings on gala day? Uncle
Sam has pile of them a big as a hill
lock, and the old fellow has use for
them all. Utah has just been added to
the family Of States, and now there are
forty-flve in our household. On the
Fourth of July the new flag, with forty
five stars, were unfurled to the breeze,
and If a man had gone high enough up
in a balloon to look down on the whole
country he would have seen what
would look like huge rainbow
stretching from Atlantic to Pacific.
All brand new flags with the whole
forty-five stars on them. But what
becomes Of the old flags? Well, the
country has need of them all. TheJ
can be used In a thousand ways, pan
ticularly for decorative purposes
Your Uncle Sam is queer fellow with
some odd notions. but he is not thrifty
in the way Of selling his old flags. On
the contrary, you can't coax one out OF
him. He will do any other service In
his power, but If you ask for flag
the old gentleman gets into a furry
and looks down to his boots as though
he were going to do something unless
you get out Of the way in a jiffy. And
he Is quite right.-New York Herald.

An African Chief.

Kambombo is a tall fellow about
fifty. He was seated on mat, dressed
with the usual loin-cloth, head shaved,
but wore tight-itting cap Of plated
cord, bunch Of small buckhorns
about three inches long, sewn to the
cap Just over his forehead; he had n
snuffbox, the beautifully beaten iron
of which shone as though it were silver,
also an isanje, musical instrument,
upon which he played very well. His
favorite wife sat near him on the mat,
her hair daubcd with clay and fat, In
which some very nice skewers of cop
per. iron and ivory were stuck; she
had beaded bracelets, and wore In her
upper lip an immense iron-dish orna-
ment holding as much as n champagne
glass; her under lip was studded with
an ivory peg; she is hideous creature,
but the chief thinks much Of her; she
had n girl attending her pipe, which
she had to smoke out of the corner of
her mouth because of the lip adorn-
ment. noticed that inferior strangers
in approaching the chief first squat
ted. then lay down on the right side In
front of the chief as evidence of obeis-
ance. which he acknowledged by a
slight grunt and a nod.--Century.
