inBs of Indianapolis Lines.

Practically all the roads leading to the
South have been kept busy the last few
days moving troops to Chickamauga and
Tampa, and although there has been this
great rush of business on all the lines regu~
lar passenger trains have been making their
scheduled time. In many cases the trains
carrying troop were run as second, third
and fourth sections of the regular trains,
and IL is the chief theme of conversation
with railway officisls that the trains have
been run at such good speed and with such
exemption from accident On the Queen e.
Crescent the train service has been the most
remarkable, no other Southern Lire reeeiv
ing from Northern connections such num-
her of trains. The Louisville & Nashville
has also made a good record, but the form
er could not have handled the business but
for its superior block signal system. s. NJ
FELTON,, president and receiver of the Queen
& Crescent, is gratifed over the work the
road is now doing in the movement of
troops. There have been no collisions, no
wrecks Train after train follows the other,
on passenger schedule time; as soon as one
train leaves a. block another enters it, and
so on through the twenty-four hours.

Racial Repartee.

A Swede and an Irishhai1, both Of
them tolerably we'll known about town,
got into an argument ia front of the
courthouse, and they began telling each
other how it was too bad that their an
cestors had ever happened to shed. the
wolf robes and take to living under coy

Swede remarked that there was NC
doubt in his mind that the Irishman
would be entitled, by reason of his an
cestry, to join some of fhe pedigree as
sociations but for the unfortunate fact
that most of those ancestors were hang

The Dog and the Law.

Once it is established that the nature
of the species is gentle and that every
dog is a law. abiding and peaceable Bruno
then it becomes necessary, before iabil-
ity for the vulgar transgressions of o
fierce Towser can be fastened on the
owner, that he should have previous
knowledge,of the usual and not to be
expected feature.
This is called scienter and until an
owner has this knowledge Of his dog Is
viciousness he is not responsible, though
in the error of its ways not acting as
becomes a gentleman of the dog species
or q, lady, as the case may be? To be
more accurate and fexact, once dog
has departed from the narrow path OF
rectitude and demeaned itself anyways
other than should obtain with a strictly
proper and gentle animal, and, the own
er knows it, then it loses status and
caste and must be put down as avicious
animal, and the owner Keeps it at his
peril. Lord Coleridge, it seems, was
anxious to reduce the law Oh 4. the>sub-
ject to nicely in the way of succinct-
ness and brevity, and he succeeded by
saying that "every dog is entitled to
one bite" and the case has special refer
ence to spring lamb or veal. The ex-
preston is varied by making it every
dog is entitled to one worry. ''-Green

A1etallizing Wood.

Still another method of metallizing
wood, one by which it becomes very
solid and resistent and assumes the APP
pearance Of true metallic mirror, is
described in the Paris Monde with much
detail. Briefly, the wood is first i'm
mersed for three or four days, as may be
its degree Of permeability, i'll caustic
alkaline I've. and thence passes immetli-
ately into a bath of hydrosulphite of
calcium, to which is added, after "a or
S6 hours, concentrated solution of sui
phur i'll caustic potash. The duration Of
this bath is about IS hours, and its tenn
perature is from 55 to 90 degrees. Fin
ally, the wood is immersed for 30 or 40
hours in hot solution of acetate of
lead. The wood prepared in this man
ner, and after having undergone prop
or drying at moderate temperature,
acquires under a burnisher of hard
wood q polished surface and exhibits a
very brilliant metallic luster-a luster.
still further increased in its attractive
ness if the surface Of the wood be rub

piece of lead, tin or zinc and after
ward be polished with glass or porce-
lain burnisher.

Grotesaue Spanish Honor.

Tho Washington Times recalls story
about the Duke of Wellington that IL
Illustrates the fantastic idea of honor
held by many Spaniards, contrasted with
the practical common sense Of English
men. When the duke was cooperating
with the Spanish army in the peninsula
against Napoleon, he was DESTROYS on
one occasion during general engage
ment that the general commanding tho
Spanish contingent should execute GER
tain movement on the field. He COM
municated the wish to the Spaniard
personally and was somewhat taken
aback to be told that the honor of the
king Of Spain and his army would COM
pei him to refuse the request unless
Wellington, as a foreign officer gracious
ly permitted to exist and fight on Span
ish soil, should present the petition Oh
his knees.
The old duke often used to tell the
story afterward, and he would say,
SHOW, 1 was extremely anxious to have
the movement executed. and didn't
care a 'twopenny damn about getting
on my knees, so down pumped!"

Luminosity In Plants.

Many instances have been recorded of
flowers being luminous at night. They
only seem to do this on rare occasions,
hence they are to be enyied who have
the good fortune to witness the phe-
nomena. Though the writer has often
endeavored to get fortunes favor, she
has never smiled on him but once,
when he saw the phosphorescent glow
from fungi in a hollow tree, just like
the glow Of d match when rubbed in

Haggren, seems to haze met With "a
number of instances in. his country-or,

horse came into the market with his

Haphazard breeding of horses for car

THE DUNkERs' LOVE FEAST.
Feet Washing. the Great Supper and the
Kiss of Peaca.

8Albb Oh 6e6C6s
1.-THE most important and the most
beautiful custom of the Dunkers is their
love feast, which they celebrate in COM
memoration of the Lords supper, after
the manner Of the primitive Chris
tians. writes Clifford Howard in de-
scribing the customs of the Dunkers Of
Ephrata, Lancaster county, Pa, in The
Ladies' Home Journal.
The celebration is held at nightfall
and begins with the rite Of feet wash.
ing, in imitation of the act performed
by the Master at the last supper, when
he washed the feet of his disciples.
Small tubs Of lukewarm water are
brought in, and those about to receive
the ordinance remove their shoes and
stockings. The brothers then in turn,
each one girding himself with towel,
wash and dry one another s>feet, the
sisters at the same time doing likewise
among themselves in their part of the
room.
After this follows the supper, the
feast Of love, which is spread on long
tables and consists of lamb soup and
bread and other simple viands. It is
eaten in devout solemnity and rever-
ence. AT the close of the meal the broth
ers turn to one another and extend the
right hand Of fellowship and the kiss of
peace, each one shaking hands with his
neighbor and kissing him, While the
sisters at their tables perform the same
beautiful rite among themselves The
communion is then administered.

= : Ana.thetio From South America.

The latest thing in this line is named
eucaine, prepared from South Ameri-

to cocaine, but without any of the poi
sonous effects Of the latter, even though
employed in much larger doses. The
seyerest test as yet reported was the
amputation at the lower third of the
leg Of man 6S years old without the
use Of chloroform or ether, followed by
rapid and painless healing of the stump.
AS much Of the eucaine was put into
two or three tablespoonfuls of water as
the water would dissolve, and with a
hypodermic syringe few drops of the
solution We're injected under the skin.
About an inch from the center of the
injection another was made, then an
other, until the limb was girdled by
them at the place where anlputation
was intended. After waiting five min
utes to allow of the superficial tissues
becoming insensible the needle was
thrust deeply into the muscles and in
jectlons made. In q few minutes all
that portion of the leg, including three
or four inches above aud below the ring
of injections, was found to be destitute
of feeling, and the operation of cutting
off the limb was proceeded with exact
ly as with chloroform. When the deep

PRACTICAL HORSE BREEDING
Animals Available For Other Purposes
Than Racing.

Than Racing.
The Horseman has gone to great deal
Of expense of late to secure information
which would tend to show the charac-
ter Of a horse that sells on the open
market for other purposes than racing.
Every breeder is anxious to possess this
knowledge because no matter how sue
cessful he may be in breeding reliable
race horses he is sure to have some that
are not suitable for this use or he may
be fortunate enough to raise an animal
that will bring more in the market for
carriage or coach purposes than it could
earn on the track. In the horse that is
disposed of in the general market breed
ing goes for but little as a general
thing, for the reason that the buyers
look to the individual rather than the
breeding. The Horseman makes it q
point to ascertain the breeding as far as
possible, however, of the no, IS which
sell for good price, so that owners and
breeders can profit by the experience of
others and learn the lines that produced
the salable horse.
In nillustration is reproduced pho
tograph of horse that sold on the open
market recently at Kansas City for
$3.50. This is not sensational price,
but it represents figure at which breed
ers can afford to raise horse and sell
him at profit. 1t should be borne in
mind, too, that this price represents tho
figure paid by dealer who bought the
horse as an investment and who in turn

Queer Reckoning.

Indian street peddlers throughout
Mexico sell bananas for IL cents a

payment for two dozen bananas the
peddlers refused it and demanded 20
cents. The course of reasoning is that
real is ~ cents; 2 reals, 20 cents
8 reals make a dollar. So the trav-
eler must pay real for one dozen ban
anas, but rs cents for two dozen, and
no amount Of argument will convince
