house steak has been considered the

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-

pare. There is more flavor to the SIR
loin, and so the demand is for either
the bone sirloin, as 1t is called. or the
Delmonico steak, which follows 1t in
the carving of .scritter." This fancy
has generally put out the butchers, who
have now to find a new way to carve

pie who had to travel long distances
would have considered the sleeping car
as 1t exists to-day luxury too great
to be described by means Of words.
Yet one paper passionately exclaims:
Nowhere but in 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 fortune and
deserve monument" We shall not
enter into a 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 q ''snorers' end" shut OF by q
deadened wall from the rest Of It. Who,
not being a 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? II 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 1t to the
best Of his ability, 1t ID 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-
jacent 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. It might be
impossible to keep the roof on that end
Of the car wherein the snorers were
grouped. Let rs hope, however, that
mechanical science may contrive to
utilize 1t to furnish that sobbing cry
Of the crossing whistle.

Sunstruck, the conductor, it is feared,
may lose his life on account of internal
injuries, and w. F. Robinson and his

were seriously hurt.
The heavily loaded car had started
down an incline a quarter of a mile in
length, when the motorman lost con-
troll. The car was going SO fast that
no one dared to jump off. The road is
a winding one. At the foot of the hill
it curves sharply. When the front
trucks hit the curve they started

followed part of the way. The wrench
upon the car, however, as it swung
about, was so great that the body was
