Only the other day, In a chat with

learn that he believed most keys turn

was trying to open typewriter desk,
and he struggled with the key several
moments before he made the astound-

"'Why,' he said to me, with sur
prised air, this key works the wrong

"'Just what do you mean by "the

side Of the door you face. the key TO

SLEEPING CARS IN AFRICA.
They Are Not Too Clean and the Con-
ductor Makes the Beds.


Describing railroad travel In South
Africa. K w. Howe In his Monthly
says:
Soon after the train conductor look
ed az our tickets he proceeded TO lug
two huge bags OF bed clothing into our
compartment and make up two beds
We paid $l20 for the use OF the bed
clothing two nights; the charge would
have been the same for one night So
that we will have large compart
ment 10 ourselves two nights and q
day and pay only S120 above the reg
ulsr fare. The beds were comfortable,
though somewhat narrow, but we slept
as well. | imagine, as people usually
do on a sleeping car. On our door and
Oh our window were placards announc-
ing that the compartment was reserv-
ed, and we were not disturbed during
the journey. When this reservation
placard is not displayed any one has
a right to a seat or bed in compart-
ment that is not full.
The South African sleeping cars are
not at all bad, except that the train
conductor has so much 10 do that he
cannot keep them MS clean rs they
should be. The conductor did not pol
ish my shoes at night, but ! knew he
was very busy and overlooked his
neglect
Il wish the naughty conductors of
American passenger trains could see

5000 miles OF travel and read from

con one or two trains we have been
on there was man who helped the
conductor, but on at least two crowded
trains on which we travelled the con

making up the beds; the most curious
thing | have ever noted in railroad
travel There Is a guard on the train,
who IS what we call brakeman, but
he does not assist the conductor In the

FARMHAND'S INJURIES
RESULT FATALLY

Death resulted at 2;15 this morning
from the injuries which steve Ho1lo,
a farmland employed on the Captain
Anger farm near Fairfield, sustained
yesterday while driving a fractions
team Of horses.
At the Bridgeport Hospital, where
the man was conveyed as quickly as
possible it was believed that the vic
tim had not the slightest chance to
live, his neck und CUB tedIy having
been broken in the accident That the
vital spark was kept alive for such a
length of time is considered unusual.
Hollo, was % years old, a native
of Hungary with but one brother who
resides at 267 Spruce street, this city
He was accompanied by another
farm hand who had jumped for the
horses heads as Hol1o fell from the
wagon. An autopsy has been ordered
for today.
At the scene of the accident, Mrs.
Anger was much broken up today
when the sad news was conveyed to
her, as the captain is absent upon the
atrical business. It was said that
everything possible in the way of Sc
curing medical aid was done when the
Incident was reported.

cal. June /. 1905"

Francisco, Cal, June 1, 1867
The vessel Stanley Dollar was wreck
ed off the west coast of Japan in Au-
gust, 1905, and the buoy, whose history
is bound up with that of the ship, must
have been floating in the ocean cur
rents for six years until it landed in
Scotland. Whether it. went around the
Horn or through the northwest passage
or down by Australasia and around
the Cape of Good Hope into the Allan
tic will, of course, always remain a
matter of doubt and conjecture. This
buoy is said to hold the worlds record
for drifting the longest distance. 1t
was six years on the way from the Pa
cific ocean to the Atlantic and must
have been washed into many a strange
port before it was picked up on the
Scotch island.-Hafper's Weekly.
