PulImau,s Palace Cars.

Starting with one car. and a fu-
neral car at that, the Pullman Palace
Car Company in thirty-three years
laid aside a surplus of s24,OOo,Ooo,
which was divided a few days ago
between the stockholders. How curl
GUS it ali seems. Pullman's hearse on
the rail brought him great fortune,
yet he disinherited his two sons. II
has always been superstition that
hearses brought oil luck. Another
amazing success was Edison Electric
which went begging at IS. A broker
of my acquaintance bought twenty
shares for $500, and sold ten of then

that dependency, as certain to result
in a loss to the government of many
lacs of rupees. He repeated with en-

81 really don't know" The house
laughed, and in lat laugh he lost his
cause. 4 somewhat similar scene is
recalled by the Youths Companion as
having occurred many years ago in
congress. A present OF Arabian
horses, a sword, etc, arrived from the
Imam OF Muscat for President Adams.
A Western member, with some heat,
moved that the glft should be sent
bask, with letter from congress, in
forming the ruler o. Muscat that the
president Of the United States was no
king, but the servant Of the people,
and was not permitted to give or re-
ceive presents. Another member rose.
Such letter, Mr.. Speaker" he said,
"can easily be written. But where is
it TO be sent? Where is Muscat?"
There was no response. Apparently
not a member OF the house was pre-
pared to answer, nor could Nluscat
then be found IN any atlas published
in this country. 1T was found at last
on a German map. Nothing perfor-
ates bombastic oratory like a sharp
question. When Burke, in the height
of a labored peroration in parliament
against France, drew dagger and
threw II on the floor, somebody made
the act absurd by saying: Eyes, that's
the knife. But where's the fork?"
