NURSERY CARS.
Here Is n wall from n Bachelor Who
Is Parti"niar Ahout Travels


The innovation of nursery car upon
our railways at any rate, upon the
long-distance trains-would be an in
stitution hailed with delight by all men
and most women. says the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
How many men who do not them
selves smoke invariably travel in
smoking carriage because there they
feel more secure from an invasion OF
children and babies than in any other
part of the train.
Babies form class entirely by them
selves in the category of unpleasant
travelling companions, and there are
probably few who al some time in their
lives have not had experience of the
noisy, sticky-ingered, peppermint
sucking, dear little children, who tram
pie on your toes and deposit luscious,
half-sucked gobs of taffy on your trous-
ers in their endeavors to reach the win
dow to put their heads out, whence
they are promptly hauled back by anN-
ious mothers or nurses, and cry; or the
babies in arms who placidly assimilate
milk from bottle until jolt of the
train makes them choke, having at that
moment more nourishment than they
can possibly deal with; or the inquir-
ing child who plays with the hinges of
the door until the guard SANS it; or
the child who IS perpetually feeding,
and throughout the journey sits in a
semitorpid state sucking oranges. the
all-pervading odor of which fills the car
riage.
Babies are all very well, but baby
in a railway carriage, like bull in a
china shop, is out of place.

SOME ENGLISH CRANKS.
Instances az Eccentric Conduct That
Are Enough to Create
wonder.

When lived at Newport, r. l., from
1864 to 1878, says Col. T. w. Higgin-
son in Atlantic, there was con-
slant procession OF foreign visitors,
varying in interest and often quite
wanting in it. | remember one emf
nent literary man who, in spite of all
cautions to the contrary, appeared at
a rather fashionable day reception in
what would now be called goh suit.
of the loudest possible plaid, like that
of the Scotch cousin in Punch who
comes down thus dressed for church
to the terror Of his genteel cousins
In this case the visitor also wore q
spyglass of great size, hung round his
neck, all through the entertainment
Another highly connected English
man, attending an evening reception
given expressly for him, came into
the parlor with his hat and umbrella
in his hand declining to be parted
from them through the whole even
ing; which suggested to a clever New
port lady the story of the Snowman
who exhibited picture of Daniel in
the lions den and pointed out that
Daniel was to be distinguished from
the lions by having a blue cotton urn-
brela under his arm. In this ease.
the lady remarked that the conditions
were reversed, since it was the lion
that carried the umbrella.

WHY THEY ARE BACHELORS.
One Hundred Reasons ns stated by
English Bachelors why They
Never Married.

The writer was allowed to look at the
book of membership of the largest
bachelor club in the Midlands.
Each member stated after his sigma
ture why he joined the club; and, as no
one is allowed to become a member un-
til he is 80 years old. these reasons
should be studied by the other fellows
sisters, says Stray Stories.
Taking random 100, the writer found
that so members were still suffering
from the wounds of a jilting; 30 owned
that they couldn't stand the idea of
having some woman always near them
who had right 70 continually talk: H.
considered that women got in the way
of meas work, and never helped their
hushGAds; eight feared the continual in
reference of mothers in-law, nine con-
sidered that no man should ally himself
with creature who spent her time in
gossiping and wearing new clothes;
seven could not find their ideal woman;
SIX dreaded the noise of children; five,
who had joined at the same time. had
given their lives up to trying to discover
what good women had ever done in the
world, and three owned candidly that
they did not-taking into consideration
the worry OF marriage, the greater
amount of work the husband had to do.
the chance of not marrying the right
girl and the risk of having their gray
hairs brought in sorrow to the grave by
the doings of their offspring consider
the game worth the candle.
1t only now remains for some bach
eloress club to state their reasons for
blessed singleness, and the reasons may
be removed.

BURIED ALIVE.
An Indian Woman z4eprr Sacrificed
Herself, Hoping 10 Save Her
Family.

One of those extraordinary cases that
police work in India occasionally brings
to light came to notice recently almost
accidentally, in a district of the Mort h
west provinces. Two constables, Mob
bat Singh and Rup Ram, while patrol
ing on their beat, overheard in CONVEX
sation that a mali named Durba had
murdered his wife. They took the man
to the police station at once and he
there stated before the officer in charge
that his wife had been suffering from
leprosy; that latterly the complaint
had become worse, and that the woman
had desired TO be buried alive, in order
that her children should not inherit the
disease. In compliance with her i'm
portunities he and his son dug a hole
outside the village and buried the wom-
an alive in ii, four neigh hbors assisting
them in covering the unhappy creature.
The six accused have been arrested and
have confessed TO the deed before
magistrate. There seems TO be no
doubt about the truth Of the story.
that the woman sacrificed herself for
the sake of her children and that her
husband and those who had helped him
acted in good faith. The superstition,
however, that the self-immolation of
leper is a protection against the trans
mission Of the taint would appear to be
a very rare one.

AMERICAS LOCOMOTIVES.
Wonderful Engines Are Ready for
Any Emergency Which Nay
Confront Them.

The American locomotive engineer
deems it advisable TO design his engine
with large margin of power. If an
express engine is designed to take 200
ton load at 80 miles an hour, and if that
load should happen to be increased to
800 tons, the locomotive is still expected
10 be able TO take it and keep time, and
usually does so. Such, at any rate, is
the experience of such an impartial and
leyel-headed observer as Mr.. w. NJ. Ac-
worth. If an American express be late
at one point of its journey the engine
is expected to make up the lost time
even if the load be larger than usual
And, again, this is generally done, says
the Engineering Magazine.
But if an English engine is given
single coach above its prescribed load
the driver at once insists upon having
pilot and commonly he gets one. Or
should the weather be bad, with strong
side wind or a slippery rail- he demands
al assisting engine, and is accorded one,
as a matter OF course. Obviously this APP
plies especially 10 the case of single
wheelers. which are so largely used on
some English railways because their
range Of power is much more sharply
limited by adverse conditions than is
the case with coupled engines. But in
either case it seems indisputable that
a smaller range Of power is given to an
English locomotive than to an Ameri-
can.

THEATRICAL SCENERY.
stnEe Pictures Are Now Painted
Upon Tough brown Paper
for POrfObtIiIy

Except as regards the part that
mechanism plays the scenic artists of
Italy are the best in the world, as ef-
fective painters, and the fact is so well
recognized in these days of almost
all scenery being done by contract--a
resident scenic artist is getting to be
a rarity-that a great trade of this sort
has sprung up between the painters of
Italy and the managers everywhere.
And this is particularly so as regards
companies that come TO America. So
heavy has been the cost of transporting
tons Of scenery, and so exacting have
the customs officials been of late years,
that the generality of managers a one
time found it cheaper to have new
scenes painted after they arrived. But
the Italian system has largely done
away with all this, for it includes the
painting Of the scenery on large sheets
of a peculiarly tough sort Of brown
paper, these being numbered and
Joined together with unerring accuracy.
recent grand opera production in his
country depended scenically upon these
sheets Of paper alone, and not even the
oldest playgoec in the house could dis
tinguish any peculiarity.
Of course. the sheets are spread upon
canvas in the ordinary way and a
"toucher-up" is required after they
are spread, but the system is immense
ly useful when a new production is
taken from one capital to another at
a great distance, and the Italian artists
are sending their sheets to managers
all over the world

WHEN BETTYS CHURNiNG.

She stands within the dairy door.
A comely maid
While I to 'proach would fain be bold,
Yet am afraid;
Plies she the dasher Naliantly,
My ardor spurning-
A picture in a rustic frame
Is Betty churning.
Within her reach the roses droop.
All envy-laden
AT seeing the red cheeks that grace
This perfect maiden;
While at her feet the violets,
With fine discerning,
Look up to watch the blue eyes OF
My Betty churning.
Nor is the sunbeam that athwart
The door is cleaning
More golden than her smoothed hair
'Tis no vain seeming
The milk that fills the polished pans.
To cream a-turning,
Is no whit whittier than the arms
OF Betty churning.
With sleeves up to the elbow tucked
In careless fashion,
And plenteous apron hung about
In fear of splashin',
She plays the dasher up and down
While l. a-burning,
Feel that my heart is being hit
When Betty's churning.
All me! can but sigh and hope
Poor heart a-flutteri-
That she will yield and let me help
To make the butter.
That she will pity me and heed
My fervent warning
And let me call her mine-my own
My Betty churning.
