A Texas railroad has cut loose from
the Pullman monopoly and established
a sleeping car service Of its own. 1t
has reduced the price of berths 70
$3.50 for the lower and 81 for upper
berths. This will be a popular move
and should he followed by other lines.
The best way to regulate the Pullman
monopoly is eliminate it.

The cafes and hotels Of New York
are rivaling each other in the almost
oriental splendor with which they have
fitted up small rooms for dinner and
after theater parties. At n cafe near
Broadway the sides of one Of these
rooms are composed entirely Of mir
rors, after the French fashion, while
the ceiling is covered with green leaves
and grapes, punches of pink and purple
grapes of glass, within which are cleo
trio lights. The effect is that Of q beau
tiful arbor. Another cafe has mirrors
rejecting small red lights throughout
the room. while the ceiling, also Of
mirrors, Is an exquisite imitation of
moonlight, the effect Of which Is OBJ
tanned by electrics inclosed In globes
Of b color and sheen Of moonlight
e through a delicate tracery Of faint
green leaves.-Exchange.

TURPENTINE.

Moths will leave If it Is sprinkled
about.
Turpentine and soap will emove ink
stains from linen.
Turpentine will remove wheel grease,
pitch and tar stains.
Clean gilt frames with a sponge mois-
tened in turpentine.
1t will exterminate reaches If sprin-
kled in their haunts.
A few drops on a woolen cloth will
clean tan shoes nicely.
A few drops added to water in which
clothes are boiled will whiten them.
An equal mixture of %turpentine and
linseed oil will remove white marks
from furniture caused by water.
Ivory knife handles that have be-
come yellow can be restored to their
former whiteness by rubbing with tur-
pentine.
Carpets can be cleaned and colors re-
stored by going over occasionally with
a broom dipped in warm water in
which a little ~turpentine is added.

UMBRELLA AND o
Their Importance In the Eyes of the
Indian Native.

Their Importance In the Eyes Of the
Indian Native.
India is so vast that different eti-
quotes prevail in different districts.
We have no standard etiquette, no
standard dress. We mostly copy Eu-
ropean etiquette while with Europeans.
Even a Bengalese shakes hands with a
Bengalese, speaks in English for a few
minutes and then breaks forth into the
vernacular. We shake hands with a
European on parting, but by mistake
again touch the hand to the brow In a
salaam, so we both shake hands,
salaam and do the like, and no sober
minded European ever cared for the
anomaly.
The umbrella is the emblem Of royal
ty, the sign Of a rajah, SO natives
generally fold their umbrellas before
a rajah and not before anybody else,
however great. 1t is not a part Of the
dress, but a protection from the rain
or sum-, a necessary appendage, just
like the watch and chain. You might
as well ask a European to take off
his waterproof coat. A cody Is not
bound to fold his umbrella when a
brigadier general rides past. But q
mental generally closes down the um-
brella on seeing his master, whom he
considers his king. But no Indian,
however humble, ought to fold up the
umbrella, even before a magistrate, be-
cause he is neither the master Of the
humble passerby nor his superior Off
Ger, nor is he bound to salaam him.
But if he does, no harm. In a word,
natives generally fold the umbrella
before a master or a superior office
and not any other citizen, however
great, and this is no insult.
While going to see a native chief in
his palace the native visitor or official
takes off his shoes If the reception
room has a farash and the rajah is sit

There are other Jul ways of bring
ing a man to mind besides mentioning
his name. Among the candidates who
were Sent from Princeton to a Phila-
delphia church was one young man
whose language was of the sort which
dazzles and delights the younger mem
bers of a congregation and sometimes
pleases the elders as we'll. In this case
the committee were besieged to ask
for the young man again, and they
consented, but unfortunately the man
to whose lot it fell to write the letter
had forgotten the candidates name.
Nothing daunted, he wrote to n Of
the seminary professors:
"Please send us that foweret, stream
let, %rivulet, cloudlet, starlight and
moonbeam young man again. We've
forgotten his name, but we've no doubt
you'll recognize him"
"We do" wrote the professor. And
the desired candidate was sent and
subsequently was called to the parish.
