Pullman Cars,

AS a railroad train was swinging
around sharp curve passenger in the
sleeping car was thrown against the in
side window of the stateroom so vio-
lently that his elbow went through the
glass. The Pullman conductor came
promptly to the rescue, asking if he
was hurt.
mo, I m not" answered the passen-
ger good naturally, "but the Pullman
company's dividends will be cut down
this year by the price of one pane. I
suppose the stockholders can stand it,
though
''The Pullman stockholders won t
have to-" said the conductor. 1T comes

pany, to whose train we are attached.
1 shall make out damage slip, the
train conductor will certify it, the re-
pairs will be made at the end of the
route, and the railroad company will
foot the bill. There's mighty little, I
tell you, except ordinary wear and tear,
that the railroad company doesn't pay
for. If there is a scratch on the side Of
this car at the end of run, the K, Y.

The Toposcope.

In the loftiest tower in the CITY of
Vienna there is a novel instrument,
known as the toposcope, constantly at
tended day and night, for the purpose of
locating fires. It consists of good tele-
scope, which is solidly attached to an
arrangement Of levers, while graduated
sections Of circle are arranged horizon
tally and vertically in such way that
the moving of the telescope sideways or
up or down results in change of posi-
ton OF the hands attached to the levers
in reference to the graduated scales.
Thus, the stability Of the apparatus be-
ing assured by the firmness of the fas-
tening, whenever the telescope is focus
ed upon the same object the hands will
point to the, same figures on the hori-
zontal and on the vertical sextant, and
since an index of the whole CITY has
been made it is but matter of a few
seconds, when a glare is discovered at
night, to direct upon the spot the topo-
scope on the side, to read off the num-
bers, to look up the object and to tele-
graph to the central station the details
/ observed. Local conditions are, of
course, necessary for the successful oper-
alton Of such an apparatus, but in this
case they are said to be almost perfect.
The tower is over 500 feet high, and an
uninterrupted view of the great area Of
the city is thus possible to the watch
man if the atmospheric conditions are
favorable %sa5

Windsor Castle Treasures.

Those marvellous treasures, tie gold
and silver pantries, which lie close to-
gether in the northeast corner of Wind
sor castle, at the foot of the Prince of
Wales tower, were until recent years
very frequently visited by the queen,
who, with her housewifely love Of de-
tail, never considered it beneath her
dignity to make intimate acquaintance
with the vast quantity of articles in the
precious metals, which have either been
personal gifts to herself or form a be-
reditary appanage to her state. Even
lately her majesty has visited her pan
tries in her wheel chair, and the present
arrangement Of the multitude of objects
therein has been made entirely with her
personal approval. Apart from the i1t-
terest which necessarily attaches to ar
ticles which are in daily and intimate
use by the queen, the plate at Windsor
castle is acknowledged the finest collec-
ton in the world and is more than
worthy of consideration.
The two so called pantries-which in
reality are strong rooms of the most ap-
proved and we'll arranged kind-are
separated from one another by the plate
cleaning rooms, which are furnished
with all kinds of known appliances for
the adequate polishing and Furnishing
Of every kind Of rare and delicate gold
smith 8 work. All the royal plate is car
ried to these rooms in rotation and
cleaned, whether in use or not, and the
system employed for giving it out and
receiving it back forms ample and re-
sponsible work for the yeomen of the
pantries and their assistants, many of
whom are veritable giants among men,
as the weights that have to be moved
are very often enormous. - Golfers

i a New York Policeman Rewarded For
Catching Burglar.

~ NewssS York = liceman Rewarded Fo11
Catching : Burglar.
Hon Theodore Roosevelt writes an
article entitled /. The Roll Of Honor 81
the New York Police for The Century.
Mr.. Roosevelt says: . 81 IS
Early in our term we promoted pa
trolman to the grade Of round sman FOR
activity in catching a burglar under
rather peculiar circumstances. I hap
pened tonote his getting q burglar one
week. Apparently he had fallen into
the habit, for he got another the next
week. In the latter case the burglar es--
capped from the house soon after mid
night and ran away toward Park ave
nue., with the policeman in hot chase
/ / The New York Central railroad runs
under Park avenue, and there is a
succession OF openings in the top Of the
tunnel :lll Finding that the policeman
was gaining on him, the burglar took a
desperate chance and leaped down one
OF these openings at the risk of break
/ ing his neck. Now the burglar was
running fol. his liberty, and it was the
part of wisdom for him to imperil life
or limb, but the policeman was merely
doing his duty, and nobody could have
blamed him for not taking the jump.
However, he jumped, and in this par
ticular case the hand of the Lord was
heavy upon the unrighteous. The bur-
glar had the breath knocked out of him,
and the "cop" didn't. When his victim
could walk, the officer trotted him
around to the station house, and week
afterward he himself was promoted, it
appearing upon careful investigation
that he was sober, trustworthy and
strictly attentive to his duty. @,:@
Here again it seems to me that we
followed the eminently common sense
plan OF promoting man who had earn
ed his promotion by faithful and dis
tinguished service and by proved supe-
rlor capacity. We cared no more for
the policeman's views on the tariff or
the currency than we did for those of
the burglar. Our interest and the inter-
est Of citizens generally was to have the
officer catch that burglar and otherwise
do his duty. If he did his duty, we
"SAo LII I'LL IL Q0 ulu LOU, we were
against him. In neither event did we
care whether the officer had or had not
the backing Of the congressional delega-
ton Of the city or the central committee
OF the county. OF course, as before, this
exposed US to wild outcries from the
local political bosses and heelers and
much sneering at ''civil service REFORM -
but all the outcries and sneers meant
was that we were doing our duty as de-
cent men and as public officials, with
some slight appreciation of what was
implied by the words honor and up
rightness Political organizations are
eminently necessary and useful, but
when they are seized by professional
spoiSs politicians of low morality, who
run the machine in their own inter
ests, who clamor against honesty and
defy decency and rail against that de-
vice for obtaining clean government
which is known as civil service reform.
then it is time for all citizens who
believe in good citizenship to rise in re-
volt. --'

WITH THREADS OF METAL

Tinsel Fabrics and the More Costly Bro
cades of Gold and Silver.
Tinsel fabrics are the lower priced of
the cloths into which gold or silver
threads have been. woven. In tinsel fab
RIGS the gold threads are of brass or cop
per, gilded, and the silver threads are
Of white metal. These threads of metal,
originally fine wire, are rolled fiat and
FURNISHED, and they glisten in the fabric
wherever the pattern brings them to the
surface. Tinsel fabrics are made about
three-fourths of a yard in width, and
they sell at rs cents to 49, so yard.
They come in various colors, and many
OF them are beautiful and artistic in de-
sign. Some are copies Of old Venetian
tapestries Tinsel fabrics are used for
church and for theatrical purposes and
sometimes for gowns and for decorative
purposes
The costlier fabrics, with interviewer
metal threads are called gold and sill
yer brocades. In these the gold threads
are of silver, gold plated, and the silver
threads are Of pure silver; the body of
the fabric is Of silk. The brocades are all
beautiful, and many Of them are ex-
ceedingly so. These fabrics are made
about five-eighths Of yard in width,
and they sell at various prices up to $25
and sometimes as high as $50 yard.
The costliest Of these fabrics are very
rarely imported into this country, bro
cades at $40 and $12 yard being about
the highest priced used here. If more
elaborate fabrics are required, they are
usually imported to order. The finer
fabrics, with metal threads, are made
in France, the commoner kinds in Ger
many. S.-'
Gold and silver brocades are here
used almost exclusively for church pur-
poses and chiefly for vestments They
are imported in red, violet and green
and also in black with silver threads,
the black and silver being for mourning.
Gold and silver brocades are also used
to limited extent for decorative pur-
poses
Such fabrics and gold embroidery,
often Of the costliest description, are far
more commonly used in Europe than
here, both for church and for military
purposes. York Sun.

ANOTHER SNEAK THIEF.

Physicians Office Entered and Ar.
ticles Stolen.
Some time during Wednesday night
a sneak thief entered the residence of
DR.. Wayson, on Richards street, and
took a medicine case, containing nu-
merous bottles and several surgical in
struments.
Entrance is supposed to have been
had through the front door, as the
doctor heard a noise early yesterday
morning, and on going to the door, he
found it open, but no one around. In
the afternoon Mrs. Hanna notified DR..
Wayson that she had found the case
intact lying in an alley back Of her
residence on Union street. The thief
probably had no use for physic and
threw the case away.
