Railroad Methods.

The motive power department. of a
railway keeps an accurate double entry
account with every locomotive and
every car, so that the manager or mas
ter mechanic can tell in an instant now
much it has cost to maintain and repair
it, how many miles it has travelled and
how many cars or tons it has hauled.
a similar account is kept with every
freight and passenger car. The Pullman
company, for example. can tell you any
morning the exact earnings of every
sleeper or parlor car in service, how
much each cost originally and how
much has been expended in equipment,
maintenance and repairs. - Chicago

4 strange cat strayed into the Crystal
Maze the other night. Walking around
between the mirrors, she saw her own
reflection on all sides. She was not
pleased. Her tail started to swell, and
she rushed at the nearest cat, which ad-
vanced to meet her at the sauna rate of
speed. With shrek of defiance they
met, and the ugly tempered feline fell
back from fearful bump against
mirror.
Up she jumped and looked around,
only to see an array of abused cats star
ing at her. When she moved, 125 9th
ers moved also. With mighty howl of
disgust she turned and fled. Groups of
cats greeted her everywhere as she dash
ed into mirrors and tried to climb the
slippery surface of the glasses. In the
course of few minutes the animal ran

Indian Territory Triples.

Anything which has basis of alcohol
is IN demand in the Indian Territory.
Intoxi- .ticn is craved, and the stomach
of the Indian Territory drinker does not
quarrel with the form in which it comes.
Wood alcohol, accounted poison III most
parts of the country, is consumed in
considerable quantities. The peddlers
buy it in Oklahoma. dilute it with wa
ter and sell it by the pint on this side
of the line.
One way of bringing whisky into tho
Indian Territory is to have a barrel
with false bottom. Treightiug across
the border Is common. There are in
terror stores which draw their stocks of
goods from cities and railroad points
outside. A barrel with false bottom
is a device by which n storekeeper may
ship III a considerable quantity of
whisky, while the contents, to all or
binary examination, seem to be coal oil
or some other legitimate article.
Ingenuity in evasion of the territorial
prohibition probably reached its high
est form of development when one of
the dealers got up good imitation of
an egg. Each egg was filed with
whisky. The eggs were shipped here
openly in cases. They were sold for %
cents each to those who knew the Sc
cret. The purchaser Clipped hole in
the artificial she'll and found in each
egg what was enough for moderate
drink. The eggshell was of plaster of
paris in a fair imitation. st. Louis

The London Graphic counsels the use
of verbena as sedative. The specially
healthful and invigorating qualities of
this plant were we'll known to the Ro-
mans, who crushed some of its leaves
between their palms after the bath and
anointed themselves freely with it. 1t
is very good for brain workers 10 inhale
its perfume, and the old fashioned cot
tage practice of growing a pot of ver-
bena in the window may have arisen in
the days when balsaIns and aromatic
plants were cultivated specially for
their virtues as disinfectants and puri-
fiers of the air. Be that as it may, the
scent of the verbena is generally popu-
lar and is to be recommended to all
weak and nervous people to whom
strong manufactured scents are right
fully an abomination.

ROMAN WEALTH AND WASTE

Pearls Dissolved In Wine and a Re-
lay of Dinners For Mark Antony
E H House, writing on bright
Sides of History" in St. Nicholas, tells
this story of ancient extravagance:
1.-The pearl which Cleopatra drank
TO Autony's health was valued at nearly
s4OO, 600, so at one mouthful she dis
posed of as much as the cost of Cali
guIa's supper. / suppose that was the
most yalua bic pearl we have any knowl-
edge of. Though Julius Caesar owned
one worth $3.50, coo, which he gave to
the mother Of Brutus-the same Brutus
who afterward helped to kill Cesar.
Pearls seem TO have held out particu-
lar temptations to people VINO took
pleasure in wasteful follies, perhaps be-
cause no other jewel could be so easily
swallowed.
"Cleopatra's prank was not the first
of its kind. The same absurdity had
been committed by a silly fellow i'll
Rome named Esop-not your favOrite
fable teller, for he lived centuries
earlier, and was very wise man. The
Roman H,sop was the son of a rich act
or. and, lust to make himself talked
about he took pearl from the eardrop
of Cecilia, the wife of the tyrant Sylla,
and, according to writers of that age,
drank it in vinegar. 1 believe that the
possibility of dissoIving this kind OF
gem is disputed by many modern au-
thorities, but the ancients appear to
have had no doubt ON the subject, for
the instances recorded by them were
numerous and We're attested by men of
scientific standing. a japanese natural

states that he has found them of such
various quality and structure that the
existence of specimens which might be
melted does not seem TO him inconceiv-
able. But whether Esop liquefied his
pearl or not the performance certainly
cost him a sum equivalent to $40, 600
quite enough, though nothing in COM

ed. Hers was the widest piece of ex-
travagance that 1 can recall.
at was the fashion TO be extravagant
then. Mary Antony was not far behind
the Egyptian queen i'll that respect,
though his fancy was not for beverages
favored by trinkets. Substantial food
was more in his line. a visitor who
once went into the kitchen of his palace
in Alexandria saw eight wild bears
roasting at the same time and thought
there must be an immense number of
guests expected, but the cook told him
only IL persons would dine that day,
and the reason of the extensive prepare
lions was that no one could say exactly
when Antony would go to the table.
But whenever he gave the signal the
meat must be just in proper condition
at that moment. So it was the rule TO
get ready series of dinners. overlap
ping one another, you might say, at in
of 10 or 20 minutes. Only one
could be eaten, and the rest were wasted,
but the waste did not matter. Antony

his opinion, was the thing to be consid-
