LINCOLN AND PULLMAN.
How tho Rail-splitter Got the BETTER Of
the p. p. 8. q. Man.

Once upon q time, away back in the
zoos, there was only one Pullman car.
That was known as car A. It cost
81, 00O-some OF. them cost $40, 900 now.
Car a ran out Of Chicago on the Alton
Road. George NJ. Pullman lad evolved
it. When his idea had been put into
wood he mounted it on sixteen wheels
and attached it to a train. Then he,
personally. sold the right to sleep in it
for fifty cents q chance-or so cents a
risk, if you prefer it, for it was about
one man out OF five who could sleep in
car A of the COS.
Fifty cents was the price and two in
a berth was the rule, as u~nswervable as
the Laws of the Modes and Persians. If
some sybarite wished to sleep by him
self and was e%xtravagant enough to pay
for the luxury, he paid 81. Then be
temporarily owned the berth.
One night going out of Chicngo, a
long. lean, ugly man, with n wart on
his cheek, came into the depot. He
paid George M. Pullman so cents and
half a berth was assigned him. Then he
took Oft his coata aud vest and hung them
up, and they fitted the peg about as we'll
as they fitted him. Then he kicked off
his boots, which were of surprising
length, turned into the berth, and, hav-
ing an easy conscience, was sleeping
like a healthy baby before the car left
the depot.
Along came another passenger and
paid his so cents. In two minutes he
was back at George Pullman.
There's a man in that berth of mine,"
said he, hotly, land he's about 10 feet
high. How am I'going to sleep there,
I'd Ike to knowp Go and look athim."
In went Pullman-mad. too. The
tall, lank mans knees were under his
chin, his arms were stretched across the
bed, and his feet were stored comfort
ably-for him. Pullman shook him un-
til he awoke and then told him if he
wanted the whole berth he would have
to pay 81.
MY dear Sir" said the tall man, "a
contract is a contract. l have paid you
81 cents for half this berth. and, rs you
see, I'm occupying it. There's the other
half pointing to 4 strip about-6 inches
wide. Sell that and don't disturb me
again" And, SO saying, the man with
a wart on his face went to sleep again.
He was Abraham MISUNDERSTANDING

Origin Of the Match.

Romor. Preschel and Irinyi are vari.
ously named as inventors of phosphor.
Gus matches.
From the testimony Of a still living
college friend it appears that the real
inventor is the Hungarian, James Irinyi.
1t was in 1885, when the latter, then 10
years old and a student al the Poly
technic school in Vienna, attended Prof.
Melssner's lectures on chemistry. He
became greatly impressed by u demon
atration of the reaction produced on
rubbing together peroxide of lead aud
sulphur. II struck him ut once that the
reaction may be greatly intensified
when substituting PHOSPHORUS for sui
phur. Irinyi was not to be seen at the
college for the next few days. His
friend, wishing to see him, called ut his
rooms but found the door locked.
On joining his friends Irinyi had his
pockets full Of matches, which he struck
on the walls, all of them taking fire.
He prepared them by melting phos-
phorous in q concentrated solution Of
glue and shaking until the mass became
cold and all the PHOSPHORUS assumed u
finely divided state. This emulsion
was mixed with brown peroxide Of lead
and sticks previously dipped in molten
sulphur were immersed in the mixture.
