The use of private cars has in
creased rapidly during the past few
years. They are becoming more
luxurious and cheaper every year.
There is variety of cars designed
for small parties. These have much
larger compartments than ordinary
palace cars. The cars are arranged
to supply large bed for every one
of the party, besides two or more
private baths. They have also
commodious dining rooms, observa-
ton rooms, smoking rooms and bar
Der shops. These cars may be rent
ed for from $25 to $50 day. The
hotel cars are the most expensive.
A private car with buffet attached
can be had for $50 day.

Our Sleeping hours.

"1'ell a man that he has slept
twenty years and he'll give you a
pitying stare" remarked a man
with mania for statistics; "but
it's a fact. The man who has
reached the age of 60 has spent
one-third of his life, or 90 years,
in slum ber, and if a man is lucky
enough to live until he is rs he
has Rip Van Wrinkle beaten to a
staudstill.
"The average person sleeps
eight hours day, or exactly one
third of his days life. Again, if
you abruptly inform man of GO
that he has slowed herd of cat
tie under his belt in his time he
will put you down as a third year
man at an insane asylum. Fig
ures, however, don't lie, and you
can give him a statistical knock
out. A healthy man eats, on a
conservative average, one pound
of meat every day of his life, and
in 60 years will devour 81, 900
pounds. Allowing 1000 pounds
as the average weight of beef,
you have % cattle, a pretty re-
spectacle herd, 1 think. There
are lots of other surprising things
that figures will demonstrate, but
l haven't time to spring 'em just
now.

The West Point Of Mexico.

In Mexico experience has conclu-
sively shown that officers and even
soldiers cannot be improvised, and
the very first care of General Diaz
has been to establish a good school
for instructing scientific officers
The military school of Chapultepec
in its actual condition is the fruit OF
his efforts. Many foreign officers
of different nationalities have visit
ed that establishment and believe
that it ranks among the first in the
comprehensiveness and perfection OF
military instruction there impaired
and in the severe but just discipline
to which the cadets are subjected.

WORLDS RICHEST NATION.

The richest nation in the world
proportionately is not Great Brit
ain, not fat little Holland, not even
the United States.
For the greatest average individ-
ual wealth we must look to the
Australian commonwealth.
Last year the total value of the
products of the colonies forming the
Australian commonwealth amount
ed to fully $550,000,000, of which
their pastoral industries represented
$150,000,000, their agricultural
$14O,O00,000, their mineral prod
ucts fully $100,000,000 and their
manufacturing and other industries
the remaining $160,000,000.
The wool alone from the 10000.
900 sheep raised in 1900 was worth
$10O,0O0,000.
The mineral resources of Austria
liza cannot even be guessed at. In
the last As years the country has
produced gold to the value of ST.
100000, 900, in the last 20 silver to
the value of $150,000,000.
Diamonds are found in one dis.

exceed the production of poultry
eggs. This is due to the fact
that large proportion of poultry
is kept in the suburbs of cities,

producing more than one-half.
1t is almost impossible to get a
correct census of the poultry and
eggs produced in this country,

AWFUL DISASTER ON PACIFIC COAST.

Pacific Mail Steamer Strikes on the
Rocks While Entering the Golden
Gate aud Fen. ders-Prominnnt Per-
sons Among me Victims - story Of
the Wreck.
San Francisco, eb. 25.-The sink
ing of the Pacific Mail steamer City
of Rio de Janeiro after striking a rock
in the Golden Gate during the dense
fog Friday morning was the most ap-
palling disaster this coast has known
for many years. Most of the bodies
of the l20 and more victims are at the
bottom of the sea and many of them
may never be recovered. The water
where the ship lies is deep and the
current swift and the dead with most
of the wreckage probably will be car
ried far out iEto the Pacific. The
number of liv~s lost may never be
known exactly owing to the fact that
the ship reco:3s were lost and it is
practically impossible to tell just how
many Chinese were in the steerage.
Pacific Mail steamship officials say
that 122 persons perished. The YES
sci with it's valuable cargo will be a
total loss. The strong box contained
100000 in treasure.
Among the most prominent passen-
gers was Mr.. Wildman, former United
States consul at Hongkong, who was
accompanied by his wife and two chill
dren. 1t is thought all were drowned
The ship was in command of Pilot
Frederick Jordan when she struck.
He was rescued. Captain William
Ward went d. with his vessel.
AS nearly a can be learned there
were 2O1 people on board the Rio de
Janeiro, as follows: Cabin passengers,
30; second cabin z; steerage Chinese
and Japanese), gS; officers and crew,
1O7; total, POI. Saved, 70.
The Rio de Janeiro was three days
overdue from Hongkong via Honolulu
when she arrived off the Heads, and
the dense fog prevailing at the time
induced Pilot Jordan to bring her to
anchor until he could see his way
clear through the gateway. The ves-
sci was started under slow bell to-
ward Point Bonita. All went well un-
til she struck. Most of the passengers
were below at the time, and it is be-
lieved that may of them were drown
ed in their be- rs.
A number CT italian fishermen who
were just starting out saw the sinking
of the Rio and fastened to give all the
assistance in their power.
The City of Rio de Janeiro was an
iron steamer of 3,508 gross tonnage
and 2,275 net. She was built by j.
Roach & Son at Chester, Pa, in 1873.
The vessel was owned by the Pacific
Mail Steamship company and had been
ordered in the oriental service since.
She sailed from Hongiong for this
port on IN. %.
