SAMPLE Carriers.

The Philadelphia Record says: ga Pc
culiar trade followed by number of
men who haunt the big hotels is that of
sample carrier. The natty drummers
who visit the city are far above the
work of Juggling around their sometimes
heavy samples, and so there has arisen
n class of men who make a living by
hanging around the hotels waiting an
opportunity to carry sample cases
Sometimes these cases are very valu-
able, as when they contain samples of
jewelry. 1t is not an infrequent sight to
see a spruce young fellow, followed by
a shabby individual carrying two black
cases. enter the portals of one of the big
hostelries. If the couple were traced
farther it would be seen that the big
hotel safe was the objective point Some
of these sample carriers have their reg

English Royal Marriages..

The English royal marriage act is one
of the time honored absurdities which
survive in spite of common sense and
enlightened public opinion. BY it the
matrimonial choice of the English
princes is practically restricted to the
swarms of 1.-The German hive" and the
proverbially handsome English women
are forbidden. The legal prohibition
was enacted in 1872 at the persistent
command of George III, he "being
thereunto melted first, by the mar
riage in 1876 of his brother, the Duke
of GIoster. to the Countess Waldegrave
Maria Walpole). and, second. by the
taking to wife by young brother, the
Duke of Cumberland, in 1771, of the
widow of Colonel Christopher Horton.
The first provision of the act forbids
to the descendants of George III matri-
mony without the consent of the crown
under the great seal, necessary excep-
ton being made to cover the marriages
of princesses abroad. The second pro-
vision has been the especial mark of
raillery. 1t enables marriage by one
above the age of 90 against the will of
the crown. under certain conditions

Nelson and the spaniards.

There is an amusing anecdote about
that gruff sea dog. Nelson. Two Span
ish captains came on board, with re-
quest TO be allowed to see 'the greatest
seaman in the world" Nelson grum-
bled, but gave in and went ON deck,
forgetting that ''at that moment his
legs were bound up at the knees and
ankles with pieces of brown paper soak
ed in vinegar and tied en- with red
tape"
This had been done to allay the irri-
tation arising from mosquito bites
Quite forgetting his attire and the ex-
traordinary appearance which it pre-
scented. Lord Nelson went on deck and
conducted the interview with the Span
ish captains with such perfect courtesy
that his singular appearance was quite
ohliterated by the charm of his manner.
and the Spaniards left the ship with
their high opinion of him thoroughly

THE DYING SUM-.
Wien Its Heat Becomes Extinct, the
Earth VIII Freeze Solid.

Our sun is now yellow star similar
90 CapelIa, and hence it will eventually
become blush white like Sirius and
Vega. says Professor 7. J. j. See In
The Atlantic The secular shrinkage or
the sun g radius will cause a steady rise
= its temperature, and when the body
has reached the stage of Sirius, where
the temperature is perhaps doubled, the
light emitted will become intensely
blue The temperature may be expected
to 90 on rising till small radius Is at
tanned and finally, when the dense
mass, intensely hot, becomes incapable
of further shrinkage, on account of In
crease in the molecular forces resisting
condensation, cooling will gradually
ensue, after which the body will liquefy
and then rapidly decline in splendOr.
The sun will thenceforth be wrapped in
everlasting darkness, and the chill OF
death will overtake the planetary sys-
tenn. A condition of darkness thus fol-
lows close upon period of intense brill
liancy, and hence the obscurity of such
bodies as the companions of Sirius,
Procyon and Algol. The most obscure
satellites are thus associated with some
of the brightest and most intensely lu-
miEous stars in our sky, and here the
smaller of the two masses, as in the case
of the planets of the solar system, have
developed most rapidly.
In view of this approaching extinc-
ton of the suns activity it becomes
a matter of interest to inquire how long
its heat will sustain life upon the earth.
Though it is difficult to submit the sub
ject to accurate computation, it is easy
to see that the exhaustion of the suns
light and heat certainly will not occur
for several hundred thousand, and per-
haps not for several million years. Thus
the ultimate doom of our system need
occasion no anxiety among those now
living, but the result is philosophically
interesting to those who look several
million years into the future
AS experiment has shown that the
suns vertical rays falling continuously
upon terrestrial ice would melt a layer
three centimeters in thickness per day,
it follows that a similar shell of ice
would form over the earth in case the
suns light and heat were cut off. Thus
in a month the whole earth would be
frozen like the polar regions. and only
the deeper bodies of water, containing
a great amount of heat, would remain
in a liquid state. The oceans themselves
would freeze over within a few years
at the latest, and the winds and even
the tides would cease to agitate the ter
restrial globe, which would henceforth
spin in its orbit as a rigid, lifeless mass.

sections In New York.

''SeXton and Undertaken" is the sign
usually found affixed to or near the
New York churches. but it does not
mean that the sexton actually conducts
an undertaker's establishment. He
merely contracts for the funerals of the
members of the congregation and sub
lets the work to what are known as
wholesale undertakers. who attend to
this class of work exclusively.
a 90 Fer cent commission is the sex
toms share of the proceeds, and, taking
into consideration the large member
ship of some of the New York churches
and the elaborate funerals that take
place almost daily, it can readily be
seen that to be n sexton is an honorable
calling-for it is business that brings
in the coin The profits of a sexton in
one of the large down town churches are
estimated at $4,000 annually from his
funeral business alone. Weddings are
not so profitable, but they do fairly well
and are cheerful He collects the pew
rents and takes his habitual commits
sion; he is paid for opening the church
and for closing it and few other
things that keep him from starvation.
But there is one thing he must look
sharp after. and that is his collections.
1t is peculiar fact. but people will
stand off funeral bill as long and as
callously as any other.

AcnnnIe Rat stories.

George Purcell tells some stories
about mining coal that are interesting.
Purcell says rat. when caught in a
trap, will cut off limb to escape He
one day caught a rat with black
smiths pinchers He had only time to
nix the pinchers on the rats tail, but
with sufficient grip to hold the rat for
time He intended taking the rat to
feed box in the barn. where its fight
ing qualities could be tested by a ter
rier. The rat, hanging by its tail. turned
around to free itself from the pinchers-
Finding that the pinchers Were harder
than Its teeth, il turned its attention to
its own tail 1t cut with its teeth
ring around the tail and then made
jump. The skin peeled off the tail, leav
ing the tail covering in the grip of
Purcell and the pinchers- 1t is needless
to say that the rat escaped.
Miners believe that rats leave fall
ing mine NJ. w. KerriGan met n horde
of rats one day when he was entering
mine. He attempted to kill them
with a stick. but as fast as he knocked
one ont another took his place He was
accompanied by a Cog, and the dog was
so badly bitten by the rats that he
sought shelter behind Kerrigan. Seeing
that the dog was badly injured by the
attack of the rats, Kerrigan took him
outside the mine to have his injuries
attended to. Kerrigan then returned to
the workings. but was surprised to find
that the entry in which he had met the
rats had fallen in during his absence

JAPANESE CUSTOMS.
Peculiar Practice of Formal Dinners.
Guests Carry Away Scraps.

At the close of formal dinners il ia
pan the guests are presented with any
portion of the meal they may fail to
eat. However great or small the amount
they may fail to eat, it is carefully
wrapped up for them and they are ex-
pected to take it home with them. The
unique custom was followed at official
dinners until a short time ago, when it
was discontinued, but the withdrawal
of government example has not materi-
ally affected the practice. The plan has
been followed for many years and it is
difficult to place its origin.
Peculiar as the custom is, it is not
without its attractive features. The
husband who stays out late at night
can pave the way to wifely pardon with
the neat and tempting parcel under his
arm. The impecunious or temporarily
embarrassed can hold out enough TO tide
them over several hungry days. The in
dulgent father or mother can pass the
sweets and carry them home to their
children. Half Il dozen satisfactory COM
binations can be worked on the plan.
There may be all kinds of elaborate
courses at dinner that one does not
care for. but the mental struggle of say
ing no is not half so hard when you
know you will get a chance to carry the
food off and either give it to your chill
dren. feed it to your dogs and cats or
distribute it among your friends. The
japanese practice is all that could be
expected. Each kind of food is kept in
a separate parcel, and at the close of
the dinner the share of each guest is
made up in a neat and artistic bundle.

Everybody seems, around the Waldorf

won't look at tip less than 81. In the
cafe an egg costs as much as square

ordinary thing. You can spend a
months salary on a dinner for four,

The place is crowded all the time by
the wealthiest visitors to Manhattan
from all over the world. You are told
in awe inspiring whispers that there
are suits of rooms costing $3.50 per day.
You are shown the safe which at this
very minute holds 81, 600, 900 worth of
valuables belonging to guests. And

knives, and you II hear dowagers tell

continual elevation of it is nauseating.
There is something sordid in all the

The atmosphere of the Waldorf-As-
toria is rocking with vulgarity and all
unhealthiness. All these millionaires
are nothing, after all, but horde of
gamblers And the women, so far as
one sees them, seem to be oppressed by
their wealth. If there is anything more
