Bulgarian Eccentricities.

The same weight garments are worn
by the Bugarians all the year round.
There are no sudden changes in the cli-
mate, consequently there is little sick
ness, and pulmonary affections are un-
heard of. All names of persons end
with "koff," which has the same sig.
niticance as the word son in the Eng
lish language. Entire families live to-
gether. Grandfathers, sons, daughters,
with their wives and husbands and chill
dren, all live under the same roof.
There are no carpets, rockers, or even
chairs in the houses, while pianos and
organs are things undreamed of. The
people neither smoke, drink nor chew,
and, as whole, they are virtuous. The
most striking thing in the country Is
the inferior position given women.
They are not allowed to attend schools
or even permitted to learn to reads and
write. \ wife would not dare to walk
on the street with her husband, but
must walk behind at a respectful dis
tance. Women are not allowed to sit
in the main audience-room of churches,
but must take their seats in a gallery
set apart for them eXclusively,-Cinein

GREAT OLD ENGINEER.
Am Eastern Veteran Railroader Wh@
Ran u Mile Minute Fifty
Years Ago.

"Speaking of the locomotives of the
olden time" said a veteran railroadsr,
reminds me of the greatest one of the
day, the Carroll of Carrollton, named
for the great Maryland signer of the
declaration Of independence. She was
built by Ross Winans in Baltimore for
the Boston & Worcester railroad in
1S49. She was the first locomotive in
this country to have wrought-iron driv-
ing wheels, and the first one in the
world with drivers seven feet in di-
ameter. And she was a coal burner,
the very first of her kind. Jimmy jack
man was the engineer who ran her,
and he saw every bit of her machinery
made and put together, a good many of
the appliances being of his own sug-
gestion. lie thought nothing of run
ming her a mile in 60 seconds, and a
mile in 63 seconds was common and
easy task for her. Those were the
days of single tracks, mind you, and
hand brakes, and cast-iron rails, liable
to shake heads and other primitive
appliances, so to run a locomotive at
mile-a-minute rate, which to-day is
considered a feat worthy of talking
about and boasted of, required nerve
and judgment in an engineer that few
engineers have to-day.
"And speaking of shaking heads
that is something the present-time rail-
roader or railroad traveller knows moth
ing about. One of the most important
employees of a railroad in the old days
was the snake spiker. When the
rails were simply iron straps spiked to
wooden stringers the straps in time
worked loose, and the ends where they
were Joined together would curl up and
look like big snake with it's head
raised few inches from the ground.
Hence the name. The snake spiker was
a trusted man, who had certain sec
ton of the track which he was detailed
to patrol, with a sledge hammer and
leather bag with new spikes in it slung
by strap over his shoulder. He was to
keep sharp lookout for snake heads,
for they were dangerous things for a
car to come into contact with, and,
when he found one, spike it down fiat
to the stringer again. The safety of
life and property on railroads depend
ed in great measure on the vigilance
of the snake-spiker. And it was over
such rails as those that the boys of
the old days had the nerve to push their
engines mile minute. IN. Y. Sun.

LEARN ABOUT THE COLONIES
Englishmcn May Inform Themselves
at Home Regarding Other
Lands.

For the last dozen years England has
been developing an institution of
which, as yet, there is little need in
this countn,;. That is the Colonial col
lege, in a remote corner of Suffolk, in
which, upon an estate of about 500
heres, equipped with suitable buildings,
laboratories, and so forth, the young
men of the realm who desire to broaden
their horizon and their field of effort
take a course of one or two years in
what is known as training for the col
onies." Here they are taught that these
far-away dependencies are not Eldora-
does, where gold can be had for the
carriage, but places in which pioneer pa
tience, courage and thrift are neces-
sary qualities. The theory of trough
ing it" is inculcated, and the instruc
ton is to a considerable extent along
emergency lines, such as saddlery, car
pentry, dairying, veterinary medicine
and the like.
There is also varied system of in
struction in the different kinds of farm
ing that correspond to the natural con-
ditions of the particular locations con-
templated. Thus, one may qualify for
Manitoba by studying wheat raising;
another for Tasmania by acquiring the
mysteries of fruit culture, while third
having New Zealand in mind, will de-
vote himself to the best methods of
sheep raising. Canada has thus far re-
ceived the largest number of gradu-
ates, and New Zealand next. The col
lege certificate of two years course
is a great assistance to the student as
q recommendation to desirable employ
ers, and those who have become settled
in their new occupations are helpful
in finding openings for those who come
later. The insular limitations of Great
Britain and the sharp line of discrim-
ination drawn through families by the
law of primogeniture is giving this kind
of training larger value as the popu-
lation increases and the opportunities
for younger sons become comparative
ly fewer. AS we have said, nothing of
this sort has yet been needed in this
country, but if our foreign depend
encies continue to increase we shall
have to engraft something of this kind
upon the system of instruction now fur
nished by our agricultural colleges

SEP WINNER AND HIS SONGS.
Author of "ListcR to the MOcking
Bird" and Other Well known
Songs Is still Alive.

Septimus Winner, who wrote "Listen
to the Mocking Bird" and other stand
ard American melodies, celebrated his
seventy-second birthday the other day
at his home in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Winner makes no pretensions of
having been writer or composer of
classical music, but he has written COM
positions which have thrilled American
audiences. He occupies the unique po-
sition of having been the only author
that wrote a song which was sup
pressed and it's author threatened with
Imprisonment.
The greatest of all his melodies, in
point of circulation and merit, was
THE Mocking Bird" written almost so
years ago, and which has been trans
lated into the languages of the princi-
pal nations of the earth. Its effect as
a revenue producer to the author lost
its worth many years ago, as the copy
right had expired. Some other selec-
tions which Mr.. Winner composed We're
''Whispering Hope" "What Is Home
Without Mother?" Ten Little Inns
and "Give Us Back Our Old Com
mander."
1t was few days after Gen. Burn
side had superseded Mcclellan in the
command of the Army of the Potomac
that the "Give Us Back Our Old Com
mander' was composed by Mr.. Winner.
He received his inspiration from the
outburst of popular indignation which
was sweeping over the land, particular
ly among the soldiers of the Army of
the Potomac, in opposition to the re-
moval of Mcclellan. Give Us Back Our
Old Commander could be heard at
night from one end of the union lines
to the other, and at Charlottesville,
where Hooker displayed his inability to
cope successfully with Lee, 1t was sung
with renewed vigor.
But at this point the commotion ere
ated by the song reached its climax
when the war department issued an
order suppressing its sale and prohib-
iting the singing of it. The govern
ment, however, did not stop at this,
for Julia Mortimer. one of the greatest
of American singers, who was then fill
ing an engagement at Ford's theater,
was informed that Imprisonment await
ed her if she persisted in making the
Objectionable song a part of her role.
Actors in Baltimore were enjoined by
the government from singing it in the
theaters.-Chicago Inter Ocean,

Oldest Nun in America.

At the abbey of Gethsemane, in Ken
tucly, the home of the Trappist monks
in America, was celebrated recently
the diamond anniversary of Sister
Generose Mattingly, the Oldest nun in
America. Sister Generose, who be-
longs to the Lorentine order, took the
veil rs years ago, when she was but
20 years old. To celebrate her ami
versary the pope's prelate, Archbishop
Martinelli, came to Kentucky. Others
in attendance We're Archbishop Spald-

Several Wagers Laid In England
That Displayed Sublime Faith
in Luck.

Quite an astonishing number of an
nual occurrences are made the subject
of wagering. Years ago, before the
vagaries of the weather had brought
the four seasons into discredit, wager
ing that snow would be found ON the
ground on Christmas morning was very
popular. Even now, when the weather
behaves with a sublime Indifference to
the time of year, wagers are still made
as to it's raining 40 days if St. Swithin's s
be wet.
One enthusiastic supporter of this
hoary legend few years since wagered
all he possessed on one wet anniversary
that there would be rain every day dur
ing the prescribed period. 1t did rain
% days, but the twenty-third ruined
him.
A well-known bookmaker who lays
himself out for what he calls fancy
wagering" has stated that the amount
of money which was wagered on the
late William Z. Gladstone reaching the
age of 90 was simply enormous. He
also says that being believer in the
unexpected happening in politics, he
accepted at the time of the home rule
split in the liberal party three wagers
of $4,000 to 1000 each that Mr.. Cham
berlain would one day be prime minis
ter of England. The stakes are depos-
tied in a bank under a deed which pro-
vides for the drawing of the interest un-
til 1904, the date when the wager ex-
pires.
During the building of the Tower
bridge one of the workingmen wagered
to cook big pudding ten feet under
the surface of the Thames. Needless to
say. so impossible feat led to a deal of
money being laid that he couldn't. On
the appointed day the pudding was tied
in bag and sunk to the required depth,
the assembled crowd being greatly
amused with the careful manner in
which the performer handled the sack.
At the end of three hours the pudding
was drawn to the surface, and was
found to be thoroughly cooked, the
only fault being that it was little too
well done. The sack was half full of
lime.-London Mail.
