all had thus been supplied and the
partners lined up for the trip, they
we're ushered into an adjoining room,

STOVES FOR SOLDIERS PoCKETI

When Lord Dundonald was in KaslN
mir, some years ago, he noticed tn;
the peasants kept themselves warm
means Of small vessels which contain
ed burning charcoal The expedite.
TO Gilghit was in progress at the tin
and numbers of the carriers employe'
were perishing of cold in the mountai|
passes. 1t then occurred to Lord Dun
donald that, If some safe and pOrtabl
means Of burning slow-cOmbustioI
fuel had been available, their live|
might have been saved, and furtheI
that such a means could not but n
useful in time of war in all countrid
and climates. He therefore expert
mented until he produced litti
warmer which is called the "InstraI

incombustible arrangement Of fT
strata OF substances. In this it is pOd
sible to burn powdered charcoal fud
In a safe, portable and cleanly mani

using the "Instra," be able to sen

GONDOIA ENGLISH

A newspaper published in Lucernl

vice of English and American visitors
which is very scrupulous as TO the pur
ity of its own English. both in gram
mar and spelling, makes high fun o.
some official specimens of "gOndOl;
English in Venice. They occur in
placard of directions which are intend
ed to protect the guileless English
speaking tourist from the extortion o
boatmen, and also to protect the boat
men from British and American suspic
ion of overcharges. Two out of tn
series will be sufficient to Justify tn,
advice OF the critic that such publi
notices should be submitted to an Eng
lishman for revision before they ar
printed: Il. In the hours of night, cal
culated from the ascending to the ex
tinguishing of the lanterns, one pay
an augmentation of thirty cent TO

more than four persons can be EN-
barked in a gondOla, and no more thai
six In a bark. In the exceptive cast
when greater number is embarked t
the maximum of six in a gondola an
eight in a bark, one pays half OF tn
price in addition to the price OF tn
tariff" Does this unlucky "one" fre
the other five in gondola, or tn
other seven in a bark, from paying an
addition to the price OF the tariff ?

CONTEMPORARY OPINION

UMBRELLA CAUSES A LAWSUIT.
A judgment Of the greatest import
ance and interest to railway travellers
was delivered recently by Judge En-
den. A gentleman travelling from Lon
don 20 Hastings had occasion TO leave
the carriage at Turnbridge Wells, and
took the ordinary precaution Of reserv-
ing his seat with his umbrella and
newspapers. While he was absent an
other passenger seized his place AMI
refused to vacate It until forcibly eject
ed. AS a result an action for damages
was brought against the original owner
Of the seat by the intruder, and a coun-
terclaim for similar damages was en-
tered by the other side as well The
judgment delivered was one which will
commend itself TO ninety-nine out of
every hundred travellers. The claim
for damages for ejectment was dis
missed and the counter-claim allowed
For the future. Therefore, the cantan-
kerous individual who persists in dis
turbing the comfort and conveniences
OF travellers in the manner indicated
Will know how he stands, and that If
the owner of the seat thinks ft to
bundle him out neck and crop the lat
ter VIII not only have the sympathy of
the public, but the law as well on his
side. There can be no question what
ever that the universal mode Of retain
ing a seat in railway carriage is a
most reasonable and convenient one.
and the thanks of the public are due
TO Judge Emden for his very clear and
sensible Interpretation of the law Not
the least important point in his judg-
ment Is his assertion that the holder of
seat was entitled to use reasonable
torce to eject an intruder.

syndicate It prints nearly two col

Western papers which have no place
on the exchange table of a Delaware
