 In response to requests from numcr- ous bodies of commercial travellers, the railroads and the Pullman company arc about to take a decided stand in favor of the shirt waist for men. Last year there were several unpleasant in- cidents, caused by the attempts of men to dine In the regular dining cars in their shirt sleeves. When there were ladies on the train the men were always requested to go and don coats before attempting to dine. This year, how ever, everything is to be changed. The commercial travellers protested against the absurdity of such formality on the trains and the railroad officials, on sounding public sentiment. found that | it was greatly in favor of the shirt waist for men.
 | As a result of the protest from the travelling public, orders will shortly be l iosued from railroad headquarters that men shall be allowed to dine without a coat. provided they are garbed in the conventional fhirt-waist of the latest pattern. Similar instructions will be issued to the employees of the Pullman company, and the shlrt-waist man will reign supreme on the summer trains.

Scattered all along the shores of Long island and Connecticut, be- tween New York and Montauk Point. are the wrecks of coal barges and coal schooners that have been abandoned by their owners and by the insurance companies that had insured the car goes During the past winter one of the submarine boats that has been ex- perimenting within the sound has To- cated a lot of the wrecks of coal bargee while the work of testing the value of the boat was in progress. The wrecks were buoyed and where there was proof that the owners of the cargoes had abandoned them the wrecks were charted Since then a number of ven- turesome capitalists have organized a company that will soon get to work hauling the coal from these wrecks and sending it to markets where it may be disposed of.

 New Orleans is undergoing con- vulsion of reform, so severe that the sale of cigars is not allowed on Sun day" said a northern man just back from the Crescent city the other day. "The drug stores are allowed to keep open, but while they can dispense med icines and other articles usually kept at such places, they can aell neither ci- gars nor liquors. This strikes a north erner as all the more eccentric because we all gather the impression that New Orleans is very cosmopolitan city, and so it is in nearly all other particu- lars"
 A few ocean travellers are now enjoy ing the novel sport of riding the sea horse. This ''sea horse' is not the marine animal which zoologists know by that name. It is an electrical con- trivance in the gymnasium outfit aboard the new cruising yacht Prinz- essin Victoria Luise of the Hamburg American line. A gymnasium itself is an unusual enough institution aboard ship.
 One of the appliances affords all the varieties of horseback exercise. a con- ventional saddle. stirrups, and other acce.sories being provided, and with them suitable adjusting mechanism. so that the whole outfit can be given more or less violent vertical and slight ly horizontal reciprocating movement through a system of cams and connect ing roda. stimulating very closely tLe motion of the animal in life.
