It Was Held So That Queen Victoria’s " Journey Mjg'ht' Be Pertect., . The queen’s journey to the Riviera was rehearsed so that all arrangements for a speedy and convenient trip could be secttled beforehand, says the Pall Mall Gazette. The royal train numbered eight carriages, and included her majesty’s saloon. The train left Windsor at 11 o’clock in the morning; the hour fixed for her majesty’s departuts, and proceeded over the Great Western railway to Addisen road, thence via Swanley junction on the London, Chatham & Dover line, and subsequently by the Southeasfern railway, past Ashford to Folkstone, where it arrived at 1:30 o’clock in the afternoon, that being the time proposed for the queen’s embarkation in the Calais-Douvres for Boulogne. On arrival at Folkestone the train was shunted at the junction, and proceeded through the harbor station direct on to the mew pier, where her majesty embarked. The special platforms were fi ted from the train across the pier to ! eisteamer, and the gangways from the q iay to the steamer were also tried and fi ted. The Calais-Douvres left Folkestone about two o’clock in charge of C pt. Dixon, and made a splendid pass: ge across to Boulogne, covering the 2" miles inan hour and 25 minutes.- At Eulogne the landing arrangements wore rehearsed at Folkestone, and the sicamer subsequently recrossed -the c¢hannel to Dover. The rehearsal was considered in every way a success.

'FLASHLESS GUNS.: The Latest Artillery Improvement Is * Far Ahead of Smokeless ; Powder. : It is reported that the new French rapid fire gun invented by Col. Hum‘bert gives no flash or sign of fire. If this be true, the French have made an advance in artillery second only in importance to that which marked the introduction by them ofrsmokeless powder, says the Scientific American. In ‘the operations around Santiago the only means by which our men could locate the position of the enemy was by the flash.” If this should be removed the art of war, especially on land, will become more difficult than ever, for a miasked battery of smokeless powder and. flashless guns would be positively undiscoverable. The only description of the gun that has come to hand is rither obscure; but it would seem that an attempt is made to cool the larger portion of the gases below their flagh 7oint before they are-allowed to reach the open air. The rate of fire has rrdched a 8 maximum of 20 shots per minute. To accommodate the increased expenditure of ammunition it iz proposed to reduce a single battery f-om five to four guns and increase the pumber of ammunition wagons. ; A STOLEN ORCHID.

Why Representative John Allen Did Not Raise His Hat to : a Lady. {

. Watching Representative John Allen. of Tupelo, when he made a gpeech in the house recenmtly, I was reminded of the time when he burglarized a flower from the botanical gardens, says the Vashington Post. He was eseorting a Yyoung woman from the west, and she went fairly daft over the orchidg. ] con’t believe she had ever seen any be fore, and, oh! she did want one sq much. * ' Of course, there are rules like untc the Jaws of the Medes and the Persians e gainst picking Uncle SBam’s posies, but girls, even from the west, usually get what they want if they wamt it badly enough. Mr. Allen gave an orchidstem o deft touch. It broke. The blossoms fell. Quick as thought he picked it u? before the guard’s eye caught sight of it and popped it into his hat. Then #he threeé visitors strolled out, and at every door they ran into some young woman from the south. Mr. Allen’s

hand flew to his bat brim, but he re-; Fnem—be‘re& in time. For the first and » only time in his life John Allen ac- - knowledged a lady’s bow with covered ‘head. His face was a study in erimson, but he dared not raise his hat. : I dare say he has forgotten all about it long before this, but the girl from -the west has that orchid somewhere © emong her souvenirs fo this day..

SUFFRAGE A FAILURE.

That Is What the Men Out in Colorado " Think About the Woman’s Rights Question.

“Colorado politicians will, almost to a man, in private conversation declare that woman suffrage is a failure and.d farce in our state, but one of them has the nerve to say so over his own signature in the newspapers,” said Mr, F. R. Graham, a leading business man of Durango, C 01.,, to a Washington Post reporter, - . “As I do not aspire to office, there is no reason for timidity on my part, and I unhegitatingly declare that the experiment.of giving the ballot to women in Colorado has been as rank a piece of foolishness as any people ever inflicted upon themselves; it has done a very little good, perhaps, and a great deal more of harm, and, though it may never be repealed, there is no possibility of good coming out of it. The women claim that their presence has made the elections cleaner, but I contend that they appropriate eredit that does not belong to them, for, while ‘the elections are better conducted than formerly, the improvement is due to the Australian system and not to the women, :

“The presence of women-in conventions and political meetings is to -my mind degrading to them. Surrounded by a lot of coarse men whom they would not elevate or reflue in a lifetime, they are entirely out of their element. Their vote in no way conduces to better government than if they were without the franchise, for they vote on sentiment, or follow the lead of their husbands, and so the énly result is to increase the number of voters. There are thousands of good women in the state who are tired of the business and very much regret that the ballot was ever conferred on their sex.

BAKED BEANS TRAIN.

Your true Bostonian who is forced to exist in New York has little to comfort hirm in his exile, says‘the Chicago Chironicle. .

GORILLA LACKS CULTURE.

The Manlike Animals Have Very Short Thambs, Which They "Cannot Twiddle. ;

The gorilla and chimpanzee, which belong to the higher order of apes, have many points of resemblance to man, but there is one thing they cannot do—that is, twiddle their thumbs, says an exchange. In the gorilla the thpymb is short and does not- reach much beyond the bottom of the first joint of the forefinger. Itis very much restricted in its movements, and the animal can neither twiddle his thumbs nor turn them round so that the tips describe a circle. There are the same number of bones in the hand of a gorilla as in the hand of man, but the thumbs of the monkey have no separate flexor or bending muscle. This is why a monkey alwayskeeps the thumb op. the same side as the. fingers and never bends it round any object that may be gragped. Inthegorilla the web between the finger extends to the second joint,the finger tapers to the tips, and there is' a callosity on the knuckles on which the animal rests when walking on all fours. Thereare many other strong points of resemblance between the ape and man, but—well, we wish to be charitable to ~cur fellow man and will therefore drop the subject.

American Poultry Condemned.

Nine tons of poultry, consisting of 2,169 geese, turkeys, chickens and ducks, from Boston, were landed recently at'a London dock, where it was found that they had decayed on the voyage. They could not be condemned, however, till they had been loaded on wagons and carted to a police court, where a police magistrate came out, listened to the inspector’s story, satisfled himself by his own senses that the fowls were unsound and ordered them to be destroyed. A police magistrate is apparently the only English official who can condemn bad meat, and this he can do only after listening toa complaint and examining the corpus delecti personally in his own courtroom.

New Way of Lighting Tunnels.

A novel way of illuminating a railway tunnel has been devised in Paris. 'Reflectors throw the light from many electric lamps 16 feet above the rails to the sides of the tunnel, where it is again reflected by burnished tin, a soft and agreeable light. The trains automatically turn the current on and off in entering and leaving the tunnel,

AFTER HIS FORTUNE.

Messenger, Hunted for Two Weeks, Evades Indian Pursuers and Brings Back the Money.

“There died in Kansas City, Kan., the other day,” says the Kansas City Journal, “a quiet, unobtrusive, modest, and never boastful ecitizen. He came from a Pennsylvania regiment in 1864, and he became a messenger for the Holliday Express company, running from Leavenworth to Santa Fe. W. H. Bridgens, the messenger referred to, on one of his tripshad 510'0,000 in greenbacks strapped about his person and secreted in his clothes. There wasmno one but him andl the driver in charge of the coach, and for days they proceeded along their lonesome journey without seeing a human face. When yet many miles from Santa Fe they were overtaken by a howling band, of Indiage and a fierce battle was fought. Bridgens, and his companion exhausted their ammunition and continued the fight with fheir knives. Finally they succeeded in unloosing their horses from the stage, and, quickly mounting them, fle¢ through the timber.. The savages gave chase and succeeded in separating the two men, but did not capture either of them. Mr. Bridgens still retained his treasure, but he lost his way among the crags and canyonsy and it was more than two weeks before he found his way to the house of a white man. During all this time he subsisted entirely upon berries and herbs. His long absence caused hisiemployers to believe that he had been robbed and killed by the Indians, and before his return they had made good the money they had given up as lost. When Mr. Bridgens returned with his precious burden still intact they were amazed, and so grateful were they that they presented-their young agent with a handsome token of their appreciation.”

SCHOOL FOR BLUSHING.

Paris Has an Institute for Teaching the Simulation of Sweet Em~ s barrassment.

One of the latest novelties of Paris, that city of novelties, is a. school where blushing is taught. If there is any place where blushing has become a lost art, one would certainly think it was Paris, but the Parisians, on the other hand, declare that it is a result of Anglomania. and the influence of the American girl. The young woman who plays golf g’r rides a bicycle in “rationals” in the freest.camaraderie with her male friends is likely to acquire a self-poise which will make the flush of embarrassment a stranger to her .cheeks, and the city where women are bicycling on the boulevard with their ‘bare knees exposed has felt the necessity of a reaction. The classic grace and simplicity of the early,years of the century, with their accompanying doyvnca.st eyes and simpers, are now in vogue again, and the maidens who Thave forgotten how to blush are going to school to learn the primitive art. They .say it is easy enough to droop the eyes and affect bashfulness, but to call up a mantling color is as difficult as pulling eye teeth. " How the crimsoning flow of red blood te the pallid. cheek iy accomplished in these fin de siecle schools of deportment it is hard to imagine, unless it Js that they have taken a page out of Du Maurier’s joke book and emulate the society girl who surprised her friend by always blushing at the right time. “How can you manage it ?” ‘asked the other girl, enviously, “Oh, 1t is very easy,” the expert blusher replied. “I simply think of something that makes me blush.” ¢

SHORT CHIMNEY STACKS.

The Days of the Tall Smoke Belching Ones Are Numbered, It Is Said. E

The days of the tall, smoke-belching factory chimneys are numbered, aecording to a writer in the Iron Trade Review. Instead, there are to be short stacks and blowers. For illustrationy the experience of a Boston manufacturing firm is related. Changes in’ the arrangement of the works necessitated the removal of the boiler plant, but it was out of the question to take the chimney along. In its stead a fan blower was installed on top of the boilers and provided with a special engine to drive it at just the speed required. It is automatically regulated so that less than one pound drop in steam pressure greatly increases the draft, starts up the fire and bringsthe pressure baek to whereit belongs. The fan works by suttion, draws the gases from the hoiler flue and forces them out through a Short stock extending only 31 feet above the boiler room floor. The draught which may be produced is two or three times stronger than that of the chimney which has been discarded and is just as strong in all kinds of weather, while the cost of the entire mechanical-draught equipment, including the stack, has been less than onehalf of that of 4 new chimney. RBecause of the stronger draught much cheaper fuel is burned, the saving being about $l,OOO a year. It is possible with mechanical draught to. use smaller boilers and still produce the required amount of steam. '

Power at the Paris Exposition. The total amount of power estimated as necessary for the Paris exposition is 20,000 horse-power, of which 15,000 is allotted for lighting and 5,000 for motive power. Upon this assumption there is allowed a consumption of 440,~ 000 pounds of steam per hour, or, for 205 days, at seven hours per day, a total of 631,300,000 pounds of steam for the entire period. This will require 200 tons of coal a day, and the water required for condensing purposes is esfimated at more than 280,000,000 cubie feet for the whole period of the exposiuonr x : 8 . ;

SUBSTITUTE TURTLES.

Inferior Kinds Are Being Supplied in Place of the Disappearing Diamond Back. .

With the passing of the diamond back terrapin from local waters and its general scarcity, says a Chestertown (Md.) correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, the business of developing “sliders” and “red belly” terrapins has begun in’'the waters of Kent county. These terrapins are now in winter quarters by the thousands in marshes, and are in their best condition. The “slider” often attains extremely large proportions, weighing as much as 20 pounds or over. The “red belly” is & smaller species. - The larger variety sometimes sells as high as $2.50 apiece, though the average price is from 75 cents to $1.50. - The smaller. variety sells for from 75 cents to $1.50 per dozen. )

These térrapins bury in the mud from. three to five feet deep, and are found by seunding with a stick and pulled out with a hook. The female, before she deposits her eggs, is most sought after, as the numerous eggs add greatly to the richness of the prepared dish.. The female terrapin de~ posits her eggs, ranging from 25 to 30 in number, in the sandy fields near by her bedding grounds. She goes out at night, makes a hole with her head lange enough to hold the eggs, and then proceeds to lay. The eggs are then covered with sand andspacked, and the terrapin seeks the water before the sun becomes too hot.

An old trapper states that he had known terrapins to be killed by the sun while making their way to the marsh after, laying. The crow is the greatest enemy to the terrapin, hunting up their nests and destroying'the eggs by wholesale. The diamond back has been almost entirely superseded by the “slider” and “red belly.”

TOO MANY PENNIES.

A Lumber Dealer Has More Than He Wants or Can' Use in a _ Year or Two. A

Over in Brooklyn there is a lumben dealer who has learned what it is to have too much of a good thing. He has occasional use for pennies. He has among his customersa man whomakes hand organs for the use of the street beggars. To this maker of Italian street musicians’ supplies he had successfully applied on several occasions for pennies in small amounts. A week or so after the last-of these applications the hand organ maker drove up to the office of the lumber merchant and with much effort managed to haul into the office amose bag such as horses are fed from when standing on the street. There was a smile of satisfaction on the face of the organ maker as he lifted the bag and plumped it with a resounding and metallic clang on the desk of the merchant, says the New York Times. - g

“You like the pennies,’ he said, cordially; as he beamed upon the lumberman. “I have here 2500 of them. How you like?” Amnd he fairly bubbled oven with: good nature.

As it wouldn't do to offend a good customer, the lumberman took the pennies and passed over bills for them:. But be took good care to let his customer know that.he would't need any more small change for a year or two, and that he might find some other place in which to unload the pennies of the organ grinders in the future.

MARBLE AND MUD.

'The Greatest Contrasts Are to Be " Found in the Most Luxuriant Cities.

Probably in Constantinople, which has been described as the ‘*‘city of hovels,” there js a greater contrast between the public and private buildings than. in any other city im the world. The streets are parrow, tortuous and dirty, and even the better class of private houses are mean in comparison with those of a similar class in other countries. On the other hand, the mosques and palaces are magnificentin, size, design and materials of construc~ tion, most of them being of marble, white or gray. The seraglio is one of the most splendid buildings in Europse. - Berlin is a close second in this respect, boasting ‘the finest streets in JFurope, Unter den Linden and its public buildings will compare favorably with those of any other capital, but its slums and tenement houses are squalid and filthy in the extreme. Another city which is close in the running is Lisbon. Wbhen it was rebuilt after the earthquake the public, buildings were built on a scale by no means justified by the finances of the country. while the private buildings had to be erected in accordance with their owners’ means. The contrast between them is therefore mnaturally very striking. ; '

JAPAN’S POETESS LAUREATE.

Seisko, Seventy-Three Years Oold, - Holds the Race Against All Competitors. :

The “crowned poet” to the court of the mikado is a woman. The post is equivalent to that of our poet laureate, but is a much more difficult one to fill, for the modern Japanese are the most merciless critics in all that concerns literary matters, says the Chicago Tribune.

In spite of these disadvantages the accomplished poetess contrives to hold her own successfully against all rivals, and the annual poem which she has ready with commendable punctuality for the new year is always looked forward to by all those subjects of the mikado who malke the smallest elaim to culture, and is often far more eagerly discussed than a serious political crisis would be in any other country. “Seisko,” for that:is the poetess laureates’s name, is no longer a young woman, having in faot reached the age of 73. She is, however, in spite of the fact of her being herself a little bitofa new woman, a friend to the newfangled ideas and fashions, especially in all that concerns dress, which have recently been imported into Japan from Europe, and her own costume is decidedly old-fashioned, not to say antiquated, in cut.

It invariably consists of three under garments of white silk, over which is worn a dress of the same material, but violet in color, richly embroidered in a design of landscapes and flowers, in various bright shades.

TWO CENTS ENOUGH.

In 999 Years, at Compound Interest, It Would Pay Off the Debt.

An instance of the danger of a little arithmetic has occurred at Birmingham. A far-seeing alderman objected to building the council house upon ground held only upon a 999 years’ lease, at the end of which land and buildings (Birmingham buildings are, of course, durable) would belong to the ground landlord, says Madame. A learned mathematician thereupon presented $5O to be accumulated at compound interest to buy them back agaln. It seems, however, that $48.98 could safely be devoted to tlie present purchase of turtle soup forthe corporation; two cents Wéuld be sufficient, supposing the interest, ren)t and money had not been abolished meanwhile, and that the end of the world had not come!

.L‘ig‘ures, we know, will prove anything. The ancient (ireeks shotved mathematically that a hare could never pass a tortolse. Suppose. they said, the hare was ten times as fast. but the tortoise had a hundred yards’ start. While the hare run the 100 yards the tortoise would gain a fresh start of ten vards. While the hare cleared this off, his slower competitor would make a JYuard. When pussy had passed the yard the start would be one-tenth yard; similarly it would be reduced to onehundredth, one-thousandth, and so on, but it never vanishes. I wonder how many of my readers can show where the fallacy lies? .- <

THE NEANDERTHAL SKELETON

Virchow, the German Scientist, Discredited It in the Eyes of Many Scientists.

The famous Neanderthal skeleton was discovered in: 1857 in a cave in the valley of a small stream near Dusseldorf, on the same level with bones of the extinct cave bear, says the American Anthropologist. The workmen who exca vated it, not knowing its value, only saved the larger bones and the skull. The frontal prominences are enormous, producing a great overhanging supraorbital ridge, entirely unlike anything ordinarily seen in the skulls of to-day, and reminding one strikingly of the skulls of the higher apes. It was declared by Huxley to be by far the most ape-like skull that had Htherto been discovered. The remaining bones of the skeleton indicated a man of unusually powerful frame. A very forcible attack was made upon the normal character of this skeleton by Virchow, who pointed out thatthere are in it unmistakable signs of the rheumatie affection known as thritis deformans, and that tkis not infrequently led, when of a very marked type, to a deformity of. the skull similar to that showmn in these remains. Thia statement, made by the great authority of one of the foremost pathologleal anatomists of the time, has been sufficient. to discredit the skull in the eyes of many anthropologists:

- DUMAS OUTDONE. .Chinese Novels Are Said to Reach the Utmost Limit of Elnboratiom. It is a proof of the high degree of elaboration to which fiction literature in China has been carried that most of their novels are thickly interspersed with poems of all orders-of merit. No stronger evidence could be afforded of the fact that whatever they lack it is not literary finish. If anything, they have thisin excess. e These poems are introduced in a variety of ways. The hero sends one in a billet doux to the heroine, or he overhears her singing one, or perhaps a poetic contest is struck up, the fine on defeat being generally the compulsory drinking of so many extra flagons of wine. ¢ : Wine drinking and versification almost invariably go together in Chinese novels, though whether they do so in real life we are unable tosay. & .
