1t is impossible to keep grumblers
from grumbling. Fifty years ago peo-
pie who had to travel long distances
would have considered the sleeping car
as it exists to-day luxury too great
ito be described by means of words.
Yet one paper passionately exclaims:
Nowhere but in a sleeping car would
we submit to the heavy curtains, shut
ting out fresh air and shutting in foul"
And another. with almost unprecedent-
ed sternness, adds: These cars are
almost everything that they ought not
to be, and hardly anything that they
ought to be. The man who invents a
sleeping car in which the sanitation
shall be perfect will reap a fortune and
deserve a monument" We shall not
enter into discussion of the sanitary
needs of sleeping cars, just now, but
there is one way in which we insist
that they ought to be improved imme-
diately. Every sleeping car should
have a ''snorers' end" shut off by
deadened wall from the rest of it. Who,
not being snorer himself. has ever
lain down to rest in a sleeping car
without finding to his sorrow and con-
sternation that either directly across
the aisle or above or below him was
somebody who snored? If any such
there be, let him speak up now or else
forever hereafter hold his peace. With
a certain section of the car set apart for
snorers innocent souls might often be
saved. and at the same time poetic JUS
tice could be melted out to the offenders.
With, say, from four to six snorers
cooped up together, each going it to the
best of his ability, it is no more than
reasonable to suppose that sleep would
soon become impossible for any of
them. Thus would the hundreds, nay,
thousands, of people who have hereto
fore been compelled to toss through
sleepless hours while the snorers in ad-
iacent berths slept on be avenged
Laws should be passed. too. making It
a criminal offense for any snorer to en-
ter berth except in the snOrers' sec
ton. There is only one reason that we
can think of why some such plan as
this could not be adopted. 1t might be
impossible to keep the roof on that end
Of the car wherein the snorers were
grouped. Let us hope, however, that
mechanical science may contrive to
utilize it to furnish that sobbing cry

Have Gone Out of STYLE.

POrterhOuse steaks have gone out Of
fashion, according to one of the uptown
butchers who supplies meat to a lot Of
the families in the fashionable districts
on Riverdale drive and West End ave-
nue.. For years and years the porter
house steak has been considered the
best cut of beef and has fetched the
highest price. Now the demand is for
the DelmOnicO steak, which is the por-
terhouse with the bit of the tenderloin
cut out of it. a dislike for the taste
less bit of tenderloin seems to have de-
velOped, unless the tenderlOin is served
separately, either as a roast or fixed up
as one of the fancy steaks that the ac-
complished chef knows how to pre-
pare. There is more flavor to the sir
loin, and so the demand is for either
the bone sirloin, as it is called, or the
Delmonico steak, which follows it in
the carving of a "critter." This fancy
has generally put out the butchers, who
have now to find a new way to carve
their meats to an advantage. Even
when the tenderloin is cut away from
the bone, it is said by the dealers to be
the hardest piece of the beef to now
dispose of to advantage.-New York

Sheriff Behrens of Reddine. Shasta
county, Cal, arrived at Adm. Modoc coun-
ty, Cal, on the track of Deerand and IL
lingsworth, two prisoners who escaped
from the Shasta county Jail on April Q.
The constable of Alturas, H. S. Walker,
met Sheriff Behrens at Adm and they locat-
ed the prisoners about three miles north
of Adm. A hand to hand combat ensued.
Deerland was killed by a bullet, probably
from his companion, as he was between
the sheriff and Illingsworth. Deerland did
not shoot, as the sheriff had him covered /:
but lllingsworth shot Is or 20 times, three
bullets piercing the sheriff's clothing.
Constable Walker was shot through the

as not every one can live to windward,

wise be good, the algarroba tree has
been introduced from the African aridi-
ties and has made cattle ranching a

grows to the height attained by large

to shade considerable area, and, as
the leaves are both abundant and large,
there is formed a protection against
the heat which stock appreciate. The
fruit is a large fieshy pod filled with

is upon the pods and beans that the
cattle feed. This fodder is so salts
flying that for long periods cattle are

The necessity for some sure Indicator
when the contents of a bottle are of a
poisonous nature has already induced
numerous inventors to devote their
thoughts to providing device of this
kind. but still the accidents are numer-
Gus and the field is open for improve
ment on past inventions for this pur-
pose. One of the chief causes of the
giving of wrong kinds of medicine has
been the picking up of the wrong bot
tie from a number in medicine cabi-
net and pouring out dose of the fatal
mixture without looking carefully at
the label. To call attention to the
fact that the bottle contains poison
would be effectually accomplished with
the cork shown in the illustration, as
it would be impossible to get at the

medicine without withdrawing the
cork. and if this were attempted in a
careless manner the injury to the
thumb and finger while comparatively
slight would surely accomplish the pur-
pose intended. There are two ways Of
making this device-one by filling an
ordinary cork with short barbed points
and the other by attaching to its
surface strip of wire netting, from
which the prongs project. One of the
best recommendations for the device is
that a little child will not be liable to
extract a cork if covered with these
barbs, as the injury to the tender ting-
ers would soon cause it to desist in its
efforts. The inventor is Victor IL. Ko-
pold, of Brooklyn, n. Y.

greatly with kidney trouble caused by
being thrown out of buggy.

ment continued, l took the pills regu-
larly. Gradually the control of the
muscles was restored and my general
health improved. The dizzy feeling

In the death of Charles Dudley War
ner there passed a figure that lowered
IN the realm of literature. Mr.. War
ner died SUDDENLY of heart disease at
Hartford, Conn. at the age of II. His
death leaves Mark Twain the only sur
vivor of the famous trio that made
Hartford itself famous, and he leaves,
in his works a legacy from which flu
ture generations of Americans will
profit. Not the least of his achieve
ments was his description of Adiron-
dack life, under the title of I'm the
Wilderness" which was realistic
enough to induce the New York Legis-
lature to pass a rigorous law for the
protection Of deer. Personally Mr..
Warner was one of the gentlest and
kindliest of men, beloved by all who
knew him to the day of his death. II
is a brave epitaph.
