RAILWAY TRAVEL IN 1880.

Tn 1880, when the railway was .opened between Liverpool and Man l|chester, the Liverpool terminus was Mapping. Lime street tunnel was not |Gon1pleted until about six years later. At first the service consisted of |khree trains each way on week days khnd two on Sundays, but this was
 soon found to be insufficient After, Lime street station was opened there |were six first class trains and six |second class trains each way on week days and two of each description on Sundays. The journey of thirty one miles occupied nearly two hours,
 which led to complaints that the speed
 was too great to be pleasant and
 caused dizziness. On the other hand
 sangITine expectations were indulged In that in the course of time the av
 craze rate of travelling would be at least double the ordinary speed of the
 swiftest conveyance drawn by horses. Tt was anticipated that the general
 adoption of railways would lead to a vast decrease in the consumption of
 oats and hay by the substitution of
 steam engines in lieu of horses, and
 that portion of the soil which has
 hitherto been allotted to the growth of
 such produce may be appropriated to
 the raising of food suitable to the hu-
 man species-an important considera- ton in the time of the corn laws. It
 could not have been foreseen that the
 railway system, so far from supersed- ing horses, would lead to an immense Increase in the demand for them

ART OF TICKLING STEEL.
Process First Tried in This Country - at Williamsburg Bridge in
 New York City.

The picking of structural steel was probably first done in this country in connection with the steel flooring of the Williamsburg bridge in New York city, declares Engineering Record. The specifications for the 11-inch chan nels on which the paving blocks are car ried required them to be cleaned and painted with pure linseed oil while still hot from the rolls. When 1t came time to execute the work these specifications were changed so as to permit the metal to be cleaned in pickling baths, which has long been done to considerable extent in Europe. Tn the case of the channels for the Williamsburg bridge the shapes were first boiled in ten per cent. solution of caustic soda to take off grease, and were then rinsed in boil ing water Afterward they were dipped into a boiling ten per cent. solution of sulphuric acid until all the oxide was removed. After being rinsed in boiling water they were dipped into boiling ten per cent. solution of carbonate of soda to free them from any trace of acid. Finally they were rinsed in boiling wa ter, dried over steam pipes and then treated by the Sabin process of enamel ing.

Faction That He Was Sane.
 CONsTANfINOPLE. Aug. 31.-Ex- Sultan Murad " is dead here of dia- betes, from which he had long suf- fered. a
 The remains of the former sultan were inferred in the YenidjaIni mauso- Ieum at, Stamboul, where his mother Is buried. a .a-.s4
 It was reported last May from Vi- enna that Murad ", the thirty third sovereign of the house of .Osman, was dying. At the same time it was re- ported from the same source that his adherents all oveE Turkey, known as the Young Turks, were secretly arming and only awaited the signal to rise in insurrection. '
 Murad V. was born in 1S40 and as- cended the throne after the murder of the Sultan Abdul Aziz, May, 1876. In July of that year Murad was placed under the regency of his brother, the present sultan, Abdul Hamid IT., and on Aug. 31 he was dethroned.
 Had he recovered his reason Abdul
 Outwardly this act was performed legally by the council of ministers on the ground that he was insane. The real facts in the case, however, will probably never be known, but it has been claimed that Murad was good deal more sane than his brother, and one of the greatest terrors of Abdul Hamid's existence was the fear that this Turkish man with the iron mask as he has been termed, might escape from his place of confinement in the Cheragan palace About six years ago he was removed to the Malta kiosk, in the grounds of the Yildiz palace, which is surrounded by lofty walls.
 In spite of the secrecy of Murad's removal he was seen by several for eigners as he passed, who declared that though he had aged and was hag- gard in appearance he had not lost his majestic bearing and preserved the appearance of man in the full pos | session of his mental faculties.
 The confinement of Murad has been of the cruelest character. Only his jailers were allowed to see him, and every precaution was taken to prevent any intelligence of what was going on in the outside world from reaching him. Ostensibly, however, Murad was under the charge of General Riza Pasha, son of the old field marshal of that name, who had known Murad from childhood and was deeply at tached to him.
 Hamid's tenure of the throne would have ended. The Young Turk party has consistently claimed that Murad was sane and that he was kept in con- fnement only to prevent his recover ! ing possession of the throne. No Euro pean specialists had seen Murad since i 1876

TO BEAUTIFY THE. HOME.
Tones in Draperies, Rugs, Pottery and Other Articles of House-
 hold Utility.


 Half the success of furnishing a room depends upon the selection of the right color scheme, according to the point of the compass which the room faces. Thus in a north room, owing to the scarcity of sunlight, yellow or red must be the prevailing tone, while . sunshiny apartment calls for blue or green. The latter tone can be used in either north or a south room, if the right shade is chosen, rich hue being the best in room facing north. Draperies of yellow or rose color are required to produce the necessary con- trast. Red is the preferred hue for halls, which are seldom too well light ed, and is most effective when a deep warm tone is selected, says the Brook lyn Eagle.
 The fancy for garnets, which is pro- nounced this season, has extended to toilet bottles, some beautiful speci- mems of which are seen in crystal or namented with garlands or fancifui designs in tiny garnets.
 A fruit jar holder and wrench is the most recent contrivance for the bene- fit of the woman who does up her own preserves. This invention simplifies the essential process of properly ad- justing the top when the jar has been filled with hot fruit.
 Oriental rug vases are the most re- cent output from an enterprising American pottery and realistically in deed have the colorings and designs of the eastern weaves been reproduced. costly prayer rugs in some instances serving as models. These vases are intended to be set on the floor in close proximity to rug of harmonizing hue and they are usually mounted on a wooden base in ebon tint.
 An artistic table centerpiece is cut out of white linen in the form of three pond lilies. The edges of the flowers are embroidered with pale green silk, shading to white in places. The cen- ters show the rich golden stamens of the lily, embroidered in shaded yellow silk The flowers are grouped natu- rally and the green stems are grace fully entwined.
