Cars For Man and Beast.

From SalZburg you go to Munich.
While travelling through the mountains
Of Bavaria you drop suddenly from the
sublime to the ridiculous by catching
Z glimpse of Il car bearing a label Of
which this l.; the translation:
For thirty-two men or six horses"
On inquiry you learn that the Baya-
rian railroads run fourth class cars, on
which the very poor may travel for
trilie or which may be used at the op-
ton of the railroad to transport equine
freight Later you have an opportu-
nifty to inspect some of these fourth
class cars. and you find them to be
similar to our own freight cars, al
though much smaller. Plain wooden
benches form the seats, which may be
removed to acommodate the live stock.
Most of the European freight ears and
many of the passenger cars have only
four Wheels and look like toy affairs
compared to our Own.-Chicago Post.

PICTURE ON a HILL.
The Long Man of Wilmington, Eng
land, Measures 40 Feet.


land, Measures 20 Feet.
About midway between Berwick and
Polegate stations, at point where the
aide of the hill is very PERCEPTIONS, those
who know exactly the spot where to
look will be able to see from the rail
way carriage windows sort of rude
imitation of the human form outlined
in white. The figure. which is between
200 and 300 feet in height, holds 4 long
staff in each hand. This is the 'Iong
Man of Wilmington" once the center
of profound veneratiOn and worship,
but now merely an object of interest to
the curious.
In order to obtain an adequate idea
of this great hillside figure, dominating
the surrounding country and appearing
to watch as guardian over the little
village below, it is desirable to APP
proach it afoot, tramping along the
winding lanes, as the pilgrims of old
must have tramped when they came
hither on the occasion of some great
religious festival. Seen from afar, the
figure does not appear to be of remark
able size, but gradually as one ap-
proaches the hill it assumes an impos-
ing and definite shape.
The figure, about 240 feet in height,
WAS merely shaped in the turf so as to
allow the chair to appear through. In
the course of time these depressions In
the surface BECAME almost impercepti-
bic. and to sucH an extent was the fig

possible to make out the form at a dis
lance when the slight hollows were
marked by drifted snow or when the
oblque rays of the rising or setting sun
threw them into deep shadow. In or
der to preserve the form of the Long
Man, and to render it at the same time
easily diStinguishable at a distance the
outline was marked by a single line of
white bricks placed closely together.
The effect has been to produce some
what startling figure, which is plainly
visible in fine weather from q great
distance.
There are in different parts Of the
country other examples Of extremely
rude and early hillside figures, and, al
tiqaity renders it unlikely that histor-
zeal or documentary evidence will be
forthcoming as to their design or pre-
else purpose, it is very satisfactory to
find that an explanation has been
found which will at once account for
many of their peculiarities.
The theory is that these are sacri-
fetal figures. We learn from the writ
ingS of Caesar that the Gauls land the
Britons We're doubtless included) had
figures of vast size, the limbs Of which,
formed of osiers, they filled with liv-
ing men. The figure was ultimately
fired, and the miserable victims per-
isled in the flames.

The AIREDALE TERRIER.
Breed Of Dog That Is Just Now Con-
sidered the Paragon Of
Dog Town.

Dogs, much all else, depend largely
on Dame Fashion for popularity, and
be it said to her ladyships shame,
merit seldom enters into the least OF
her calculations, says Hubert Reeder,
in Recreation. For once. however, she
seems to have called common sense
into consultation. and in placing the
seal Of her approval upon the Airedale
terrier she simply gives credit where
due. If ever there was paragon
in dogdom that paragon is certainly
the Airedale.
This dog had established an en-
viable reputation in England before
it began to attract the attention of our
fanciers. Though it has now be-
longed to distinct breed for nearly
SO years, it did not make its appear
ance in America until late In the SOS.
A few specimens were then bought,
simply because the breed was fashion
able abroad, and the purchasers suf-
fered somewhat OF shock when they
first saw their new and costly pets.
Airedales are not prepossessing, at
first sight, and appreciation OF their
beauty often comes only with time and
familiarity with their good qualities.
Personally, confess that took to
them right away. The well-poised head,
SO naughty and thoroughbred; the
sturdy body, SO clean and symmetrical:
the great, yellow eyes, so full of hon
esty and intelligence, and the proud
carriage, speaking SO loud of charac-
ter and strength, made me overlook
completely the ugly color and the
roughness of their coats.
! once asked charming New York
woman who kept large kennel OF
Airedales what made Lsr choose such
ugly brutes.
Why, their very ugliness." she said,
promptly; "it is so beautiful and aris-
tocratic." And she was right; their
ugliness is both beautiful and aris-
tocratic.

WAS A "cRAND OLD MANI.
Passing Of the Foremost Citizen and
Scholar Of the Argentine
Republic.

On the 18th Of January, 1906, the
Grand Old Man" OF the Argentine Re
public, the Washington his coun-
try, Gen. Mitre, passed from the scene
Of his S5 years of laborious and gIori-
GUS record. His biography is the po-
litical history of the Argentine Re-
public during the last half Of the nine
teenth century, writes Jennie Howard.
Buenos Ayres, in Boston Transcript.
A pure-hearted, brave, simple. honest
man, whose patriotism was the inspira-
tion and handspring of his life. he
is mourned to-day, not alone by his
own country, which owes its life as
a nation to him, but by the sister re-
publics of South America, for whose
liberty and welfare he was ever ready
to sacrifice his fortune. his ambitions.
and life itself.
He was a historian, and his histories
Of San Martin and Belgrano are every
where admitted to be true monuments
Of his erudition and distinguished lit
erary ability. He was poet, and a
translator from English, French and
Italian. Dante's Inferno" and Victor
Hugo's "Ruy Bias" being among his
most famous translations. His trans
lation Of "Gray's ''Elegy" and Long
fellows Psalm of Life" are among his
finest translations of shorter poems.
From an early period of his life,
Gen. Mitre had the distinction OF be-
ing elected member of the leading
literary and scientific institutions OF
the world. These included the Geo
logical Society of Berlin, the Scan
dinavian Royal Antiquarian society.
the Historical Institute OF france, the
Royal Academy of Science and Art OF
Spain. the Academy of Sciences OF
Lisbon, Historical Society 1t Rhode Is
land, U. s. A., and was granted the
high honor of the "Insigne Artistica
Congregazione de Virtuosi al PAN
theon," besides being a member OF
many similar societies in Europe and
the South American republic There
is neither time nor space for list of
the literary works OF Gen. Mitre, nor
the honors showered upon him from
all parts Of the civilized world.

THE FOE OF GRAND OPERA
Throat and Nasal Affections Prevents
Development Of American
Singers.

Catarrh has prevented America from
developing male grand opera singers.
Enrice Caruso, Arturo vigna, and
Julian Storey have said so-and 1t
must be true. says the Chicago Trib-
une.
America has developed no great
men singers" remarked vigna. be
cause the American man has not the
masque He does not sing from his
face. He insists on singing from his
lungs-and that is because there is no
school for singing"
1T ID this: The carrying power OF
the voice Is not made up of the tones
thrown out from chest notes. 1t comes
from the high and strong and clear
tones which are given from the throat
and the mouth. American men are so
much given to catarrhal troubles that
they are generally barred from that
form Of vocal expression. When they
do achieve it the sound is apt to be
nasal and shrill."
What do you mean by saying that
we have no school of music in Amer
ica?"
why. America has the ragtime
school," said Mr.. Storey. THAT Is
purely American"
More American. do you think, than
coon songs or the old plantation melo-
dies?'
'As much as both classes Of tunes
you speak Of are in vogue. It does not
form school," said Mr.. Vigna. "It
does not make national music. Amer
lea Is absolutely devoid Of national
music. although there are great
many competent and capable writers
OF music in America"

afterward he could describe them with
