Definition of q Box Car

Not all the instruction given to young railroad men is intensely serious. The following definition was recently of fered to beginner: "A box car be longs to the fowl family. During the spring and summer months 1t can be found ill nearly every part of the coun- try, its fayorite haunts being railway tracks, and it is easy to capture. In the autumn, however, like certain oth- CT fowls, it goes into Information or flies to other climes. Scattered in stances are known where specimens are captured during the autumn months. A lasso or well greased switch crew is sometimes used in snar- ing the box car, but main strength is the best weapon. In any case the hunter must be very wary, as any noise like the futtering of a waybill will make the quarry disappear. Some railways own large flocks of domesti- cated box cars, but they are carefully guarded during the closed season. The wild box car when caught and fairly well loaded becomes perfectly station ary."-San Francisco Argonaut

Quay and His Letters.

The ate Senator M. s. Quay of Penn sylvania kept all the letters his constit- uents wrote to him asking for favors He had stacks of them when his last fight for the senate came along. Then he sorted out the letters, elminat ting those from people who were dead, and on the back of each letter wrote:
 Dear John or Rill-Do you remember when you wrote me this letter and do you remember that I did what was asked? I want your help now in my fight for the senate. Can 1 have it?
 The politicians in Pennsylvania say those letters, mailed to the original senders with Quay's request on the backs of them, had as much as any one thing to do with Quay's winning his flght.-Saturday Evening Post.

Who Era Oiavoio Was.

Fra Diavo!o was the nickname given Michele Pezza, celebrated renegade monk and Italian brigand, who was born In 1760. It should be noted that the opera of Auber has nothing in con- mon with Fra Diavolo but the name Pezza was first stool .lg weaver, then soldier in the Neapolitan army. then soldier in the pope's service, and finally he became a monk, but was ex- pelled. Tn the mountains of Calabria Pezza, took to brigandage, and such was his notoriety and so great were his cruelties that the people nicknamed him Fra Diavolo It is consoling to know that he was eventually executed in 1206--New York American.

MULLIGAN NOW IN CHARGE.
Begins New Work as Detail officer
in Navigation Bureau.

Commander Richard T. Mulligan en-
tered upon his new duties as detail officer
OF the Bureau Of Navigation at the Navy
Department yesterday.
He fell into the routine like a veteran,
and seemed to dislike any interruption to
his duties.
He comes to Washington from the Pa
ctfic coast of Central America. where he
has been looking after the interests of the
United States. His position now is one
of the utmost Importance to the Navy
Department, for under him comes the
statiOning of the officers and men. For
this reason, his post is said to be a thank
less one, and one likely to incur the dis
pleasure of many Of his fellows.
Because of his weIl-known popularity
among the naval men. he has been chosen
for this position, and his confreres at
the department predict for him eminent
success. Capt. R F Nicholson, who for
merly held that Office, is now In command
of the battle ship Nebraska on the Pa
elfc Coast Commander Mulligan is well
known in this city. as he was stationed
at the Navy Department in the ordnance
division some years ago.
