Family Pets and Women.

The family Of the late General Mo
Clellan were devoted to ANIMALS. In.
deed Miss Mcclellan carried her devo-
tion SO far that she used to take her
white mice (Which were named, by the
way, after the kings of the ancient
Egyptian dynasties) to the italian op-
era, as Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger did
her celebrated turtle, Mile. Michette,
which, attired in its rosy colored sash,
used to be brought in on tray by the
butler to show to casual callers. When
the McClellans' house down town was
burned some years ago, the family pets
included an elderly and infi1m cat, Sam
uel J. Tilden By name. Mrs. Mcclellan
stood on the sidewalk watching the
destruction of her household goods and
exclaimed in great anxiety, "Oh, where
Is Samuel?" A kindly fireman overheard
her. "Do not fear, madam. the children
will be all saved. "
It is pleasant to record that Samuel
was rescued uninjured-New York

Under the provisions of the inter-
state commerce law which require the
equipment of trains with driving wheel
brakes and automatic couplers all the
new freight cars are now being con-
structed to meet this new requirement
AS the cars have to be equipped by
Jan. L, 1898. the work is a colossal one.
1t is estimated that the number of
freight cars unequipped with air brakes
in the country at present is about 600,-
000 and there are nearly 100000 cars
all told. 1t is also estimated that the
cost of equipping the car with an air
brake is about $40, but with the patent
coupler, grab-irons, and handholds the
cost for each car will be about 800. 1t
Is estimated that owing to the diff
-f1culty of acquiring material in time an
effort will be made to have the time
extended.

One Leg, a Crutch and a Wheel

One Leg, a Crutch and a Wheel.
Everybody who happened to be on
Madison avenue in the vicinity of 29th
street Monday morning viewed with
undisguised interest and amusement a
bicyclist who was spinning down the
avenue at lively rate. The wheelman
had only one leg, but he was riding
with all the assurance and ease Of an
expert, and he evidently could have
'scorched" had he so desired. He had
on tasteful, quiet bicycle suit, and his
one leg was neatly encased in half a
pair of knickerbockers. Across the
handlebars of the wheel lay a crutch.
AT 26th street he alighted easily and
gracefully, leaned his wheel against
the curbing, adjusted his crutch and
hobbled into cafe. When he came
out the people who had seen him dis
mount had gathered in little crowd in
the interest of science to see him mount
his wheel again. It was very simple
performance. He gave a glance of
mingled amusement and triumph at the
crowd, put his foot on the step of his
machine, grasped the left handle bar
firmly with one hand, gave vigorous
push with his crutch and glided easily
away. That's easy" he shouted back
over his shoulder to the crowd.
The people looked at each other in as
tonishment. well! wellv' said the fat
man who had been one of the most in
terested observers, ''the cripple may
throw his crutches to the winds. That
scheme discounts wooden leg."-New

The success of the Prince Of Wales
horse in winning the Derby moved the

rhapsody that is described by one Lon

which gave one the impression of its

longing for title. The American peo-
pie have already given him one title,
which requires only slight alteration
on his cards, and English newspapers
have given him another-''Toady in Ex-

him, even if the Prince is persuaded
to add third.

The Austrian Minister at Washing
ton having been raised to the rank Of
Ambassador, corresponding promo
ton awaits the United States Minister
at Vienna, the Hon. Bartlett Tripp, of
South Dakota. The increased rank
does not necessarily bring increased
pay. To be sure, the Ambassadors to
Great Britain, France and Germany
have larger salaries than any Minister,
except our representative at Mexico;
but the Ambassador to Italy gets only
the same as the Minister to Spain, S12,
900 a year, and Vienna pays only S10,-
600. 1t is a scanty allowance for Min
lister in that gay capital, and as an
Ambassador is expected to put on more
style, Mr.. Tripp will have to draw on
his own resources. But the title will
be some compensation.

stery Of che Origin Of Great Britain's

John Bull, the mythical parsonage
supposed to represent the English peo-
pie and now figuring largely in our ed
itorial writing and in cartoons, was the
invention of DR.. Arbuthnot in one Of
his satirical sketches ridiculing the great
Duke of Marlborough. In the opinion Of
DIR. johnson, Arbuthnot was "the first
man among eminent writers in Queen
Anne's time" He drew John Bull as
the typical Eng1ishman-a stout, red
faced old farmer, far too corpu1ent for
comfort, choleric, but withal an honest
and well meaning fellow. He clothed
him In leather breeches and topboots,
put q stout oaken cudgel in his hand
and bulldog at his heels and set him
up for all time to serve as the represent
ative Englishman.

Some time ago a bridge was being
built in Constantinople. Being on an
portant thoroughfare and much needed,
the work of construction was pushed
night and day.
When about half done the Sultan or
dered that it should be torn down so
that ship could pass. The will of the
Sultan is law, and the bridge was de-
molished at an expense of 100000 and
loss of three months time.
1t was afterwards learned that the
object of the Sultan was to please his
little boy, who had expressed desire
to have a battleship In the front yard
where he could see the flag raised. As
the people paid the bills the Sultan said
