LITTLE NEED FOR LANTERNS.
Conductors Now Seldom Carry Theia Lights in Taking Tickets Ovving
 to, ,Better-Lighted Cars.

Modern railroaolng has driven the passenger conductors lantern almost out of use, says the New York Herald Two decades ago or less the pride of a passenger conductor was his lantern Then the cars were not so brilliantly illuminated as they are now and the ticket taker had to carry his light on his left arm in order to see the paste boards as he passed through the dfmly lighted car
 Ten or F years ago the conductors indulged in considerable extravaganza in the matter of lanterns. Some of them were gold and silver plated. The ups per part of the glass globe was color ed blue, and the name of the owner was cut in old English letters. At the meetings of the conductors associa- ton manufacturers would arrange a great display of costly lights at one of tEe hotels in the city in which the meeting would be held. Some of the aconceits in the lights were unique and the prices ranged from $25 to ten times that figure. The glass and the plating were kept in a highly polished state and none dared to meddle with this part of the ticket puncher's equipment.
 Conductors still carry their own lan- terns-that is, they are on the train ready for use--but there is nowhere near the need of them that formerly existed

THE REAL LAND OF PEANUTS.
Senegal, Africa, Raises Over 125,ooO Tcms of Them Every Year
 What Becomes of Them.

If you like peanuts, the place for you is Senegal, Africa.
 Senegal is one of those places that is hard to remember, even after you have found 1t on the map, and many a "F'ail- ure!" has old Senegal produced in school days past and present. But the peanut gives it sort of lifelike look, and should make it easier to remember, says an ex- change.
 The peanuts raised in Senegal in one year weighed more than 125, ,000 tons France takes most of them But thou sands of tons go also to Holland and Germany.
 The little French and Dutch and Ger man children do not, however, eat pea nuts by the ton. Indeed, they hardly eat them at all. The peanut in those be- nighted lands is turned into oil instead of being turned into hungry children
 The only European country that treats the Senegal peanut with proper respect is England. It takes less than hun dred tons out of Senegal but the nuts are packed carefully in bags, and are sold to confectioners. as they should be, instead of to oil makers.
 Senegal also raises great quantities ef that typical Arabian Nights grain se- same. Do you remember the ..open se- same" of the 40 thieves?

POLITE DISMISSAL.
That F What an EnElish Court Holds EeaEcst for ResiEnation of
 Bank Clerk to Be.

The true meaning and effect of the wo-Gs. you are required to resign your appointment in the bank forthwith. = will never, we hope, have more than speculative intsrest for our readers, but for the sake Of gratifying natural cti- riosity on the point, it may be worth while to record a recent decision of the court of appeal as to the construction to be put upon the words, says the Bankers Magazine Tn Stephenson vs. the Lon- 6on Joint Stock bank, a clerk had been found to be concerned in transaction in such way as to meet with the banks disapproval, and the secretary sent him a letter worded in the manner described, whereupon he sent in his resignation. By the regulations of the bank, sub- scribed to by every officer on admission to the service, pensions are granted on certain scale but no allowance what ever is made to any clerk dismissed from the service. The clerk in question sued the bank for his benson, contending he had not been dismissed, but that he had resigned. The court of appeal, however, affirming the judgment of the court be- low, held that the letter was dismissal, and that the use of polite instead of per- emptory language In no way altered the fact-a view which commends itself to common sense.

How to Stand In . Car.

One of the little women whose size forbids them to depend on the straps of a trolley car when compelled to stand gives this advice: "If one will stand facing the side windows, with feet well apart to support the body, leaning slightly to the rear when the car starts, one may escape altogether any jerking or even perceptible motion. Recently I noticed when coming uptown in a crowded car the rolling about of the women in spite of the fact that they were hanging on to the straps, and their helpless condition has prompted me to give this little secret for their comfort. My arms are short, and I cannot depend upon the straps, but I can stand without moving, no matter how fast the car is going or how rough the road, if I am not pushed out of my place by some one standing next to me"

Press Eldridge Makes the Trip for
 Thirty Gents.
 Press Eldridge, who is heading the vaudeville show at the Jacques this week, says he is the only American to ride from Berlin to Paris, on a government railroad train, for thirty cents. Press tells his friends amusing stories between the acts. "I had trouble about my tickets at Vienna and Dresden he said, "but I got through to Berlin by paying my wife's fare and my own-the guard had punched the tickets wrong, some way. The American consul at Ber- lin said something about fixing the tickets by cutting off the edges, for the tickets were punched in the ex- treme margins. You bet said no to that. You go to monkeying with anything that belongs to the govern ment there and they'll put you in jail and throw away the key. But re- membered a trick they have over there You drop penny in a slot machine and draw 8 ticket that ad- l mits you to the platform to- tell your friends good-by. and then lets you out 03dlAy lOl Al1d CAAC way IhVy AAli l their roads. You can get on q train easily enough, but you'll grow old try ing to get out of the station at your destination unless your tickets are just right. I went through with my wife on the see-your7friends-of ar engagement, and we never came back. The guards ran around, footing their horns and all that rot. and the tickets were never asked for. WeaWere off 1 for Paris. There is stop half way, lat Cologne, for breakfast, and you also have to change trains. My wife and I got out and had breakfast, but We never left the station, which was enclosed, like all the continental de pots, and so we never had to show 1 tickets or anything else, and when | the train came in we got aboard bound for Paris. Then tore the
 Berlin to Cologne tickets out of the l Cooks ticket books we had, and
 showed the Cologne to Paris tickets l to the guard, and he made a little nil at them without looking at them, .ani We were off Well. there's a smal 1 station not far from Paris, where fhe l train stops. We got out there l stayed in the station. paid thirty cents apiece to go on into the city I passed out of the station on the 1oca ] tickets, and afterward presented tht
 uncollected Berlin Cologne-Pa tick I cts for redemption. And when T had
 been home and playing six weeks
 got d check from Cooks for S62.50 I l did me good to get ahead of those I miserable continental railroads; and
 now that I've blazed the way. I don
 see why all America can't travel il
 Europe at about half fareor dead head.''
