TYBURN TREE.
Lord Ferrer' Tragic Journey to the
. Famous Old Gallows.
Park laue was Tyburn lane, and it
seems as if tbe gallows described in
an old docuineut as ' movable at one
time stood nt its east corner. It was
there tbe ferocious Lord Ferrers was
banged in 1760 for murdering bis serv
ant.. Horace Walpole's words paint tbe
picture well: "He shamed beroes. He
bore tbe solemnity of a pompous and
tedious procession of above two bours
from tbe Tower to Tyburn with as
mucb tranquillity as if be were only
going to bis own burial, not to bis own
executiou." And when one of tbe dra
goons of tbe procession was thrown
from his borse Lord Ferrers expressed
mucb concern and said. "I hope there
will be no death today but mine."
On went tbe procession, with a molt
about it sufficient to make its progress
slow aud laborious. Small wonder that
the. age of Thackeray, with Thack
eray's help, set up its scaffolds within
four high walls.: Asking for drink.
Lord, Ferrers was refused, for. said
the sheriff, late regulations enjoined
him not to let prisoners drink while
passing from the place of imprison
ment to that of execution, great inde
cencies having been committed by tbe
drunkenness of tbe criminals in tbe
hour of execution.
"And. though." said he. "my lord. 1
might think myself excusable in over
looking this order out of regard to
your lordship's rauk. - yet - there is an
other reason, which. I am sure, will
weigh with you. Your lordship is sen
sible of the greatness of. the crowd.
We must draw up at some tavern. The
confluence would be so great that it
would delay the expedition wbicb your
lordship seeius so much to desire."
But decency so often paraded " by
those who outrage it ended with the
murderer's death.
"The executioners fought for the
rope, and the one who lost it wept, the
greatest tragedy, to bis thinking, of
the day!" Loudon Sketch.
They Were Not Indians.
It is said that when the first Chinese
entered California the Indians were
very curious a bout them. A dispute
arose among some of tbem as to what
country the strangers might hail from
and whether or not they were Indians.
Tbe Indians decided to apply tbe wa
ter test. One day a party of Indians
met a party of Chinamen, approaching
a little stream. The strangers ap
proached the bridge and started across.
The Indians, too. filed across and,
meeting tbe Chinamen in midstream,
pushed two of them into the angry,
spooming current below. The test was
conclusive. They- could not swim.
They were not Indians.

Show Windows In Austria.
The Austrian shopkeeper takes great
pride in having his window dressed in
an attractive manner aud tbe glass
perfectly clean at all-times, no matter
how small the shop or how small the
cityr Frequently the greater part of
the stock of merchandise is displayed
in tbe windows of tbe smaller shops.
It is mucb less difficult to make at
tractive displays than in American
stores, as windows ojen outward on
hinges. Even heavy plate glass win
dows ten to fifteen feet square are so
arranged and dressed from the street
Instead of from the inside, as in Amer
lea. The large windows are usually
arranged in the morning before many
pedestrians are on the street. The wall
space between shops is 'frequently
rented by owuers of adjoin lug stores
and arranged to appear like windows,
giving the appearance of being a large
shop. When one wishes to examine
an article displayed in a window the
proprietor or clerk goes to the street
with a key, unlocks the window and
takes out the article, then locks his
window again.

THE HORSE WON.
A Rsee With a Locomotive When, Rail
roads Were New.-
. In 1822' the first charter was obta
ed for a railroad in the United State:
It was for a line from Philadelphia to
a point on the Susquehanna river, but
was never built. On tbe -announcement
of . the project some one asked
one of "the Baltimore newspapers.
"What is a railroad, anyhow:" The
editor was forced to reply that he did
not know, but that "perhaps some oth
er correspondent can tell."- .
Seven years later on the little wood
en trjck along the Lackawanna creek
the nrst locomotive had its trial. The
experiment was far from successful,
and for a number of years afterward
the trains on most of the railroads con
tinued to be drawn by borses. The
first locomotive on the Baltimore and
Ohio had sails attached. So did the
cars. These sails were hoisted when
the wjid was in the right direction so
as to help the locomotive..
''The rivalry between the railroads
using locomotives and those using
horses' was very bitter. Iu August,
1830, an actual trial of speed was held
between a horse aud sue of the pioneer
locomotives Which did uot result in
favor of the locomotive. The race was
on the Baltimore and Ohio, the ioco
motivebeiug one built by Peter Coop
er, wh jalso acted as engine driver.
The !urse, a gallant gray, was in the
habit of pulling a car on a track paral
lel to t5sat used by the locomotive. At
first the gray had tbe better of the
race, but when be was a quarter of a
mile ahead Mr. Cooper succeeded in
gettingup enough steam to pass the
borse amid terrific applause.
At that moment a band slipped from
a pulley, and "though Mr. Cooper lac
erated bis hands trying to replace it
the engine stopped, the horse passed it
and came in tbe winner."
As there were lo brakes on the ear
ly trains, they used to stop and to
start with jolts which threw the pas
sengers across the car. The coupling
was with chains, having two or three
feet of, -slack, which the engine in
starting took up with a seriejs of fier e
jerks. ; The shock on storing was
even worse and "never failed to seud
the passengers flying."
There were no whistles in the old
days. Signals were given by pushing
up the valve on the dome by hand aud
letting, the steam escape with a loud
hissing noise. On the New Castle and
Frenchkown railroad when the signal
was heard ths slaves around the sta
tion would rush to the arriving train,
seize hold of it and pull back with all
their might while the agent stuck a
piece of wood through a wheel.
There were so many collisions and
'explosions; that some southern rail
roads introduced what they called a
barrier car between tbe locomotive ami
the passenger coaches of the train.
This barrier car consisted i a plat
form onjeels Jupon which were piled
six bales of cotton, and it was claimed
it would safeguard the passengers in
two ways it would protect fhein from
the blowing up of the locomotive and
would form a soft cushion ?upuu which,
the passengers could land in the event
of a collision. There Is no record of
liow this experiment worked out-

HIS NOSE WAS SAFE.
But Hi Nerves Were In a State of
Cold Chill Collapse.
"I was sitting on the veranda of a
mining town hotel oue afternoon a
good many years ago, said a veteran
engineer, "and was lazily smoking one
of the nicest meerschaum pipes you
ever saw. when out of the tail of my
eye I saw that a bad man dwn at the
other end of the veranda had his gun
sighted at me. They were a wild lot
around there, and I couldn't tell
whether he meant to shoot me or the
pipe. The chances were iu favor of the
pipe, however, and it seemed a good
chance to test my nerve. I made up
my mind to let him shoot and to pre
tend a careless air. but I'm telling you
in the ten or fifteen seconds of waiting
the sweat came out at every pore, and
my heart pounded my ribs sore. I felt
a sort of tick at the bowl of the pipe,
heard the crack of the gun and knew
that a bullet had passed through slhe
pipe. I got a brace with my hands and
feet and waited for a second bullet,
and it went through the bowl after the
first. I sat there until his fourth bul
let had hit the pipe and knocked the
bowl off the stem, and then the shooter
sauntered np to me and laughingly
said:
'"Excuse me. stranger, but I tbought
It was Imitation.' . j
" 'Same as you are.' I replied.
"My gibe hurt him. but he was man
enough to tell everybody about my

How Strauss Once Snubbed a Rustian
Court Dignitary. - . '
'When Johanu Strauss took his or
chestra to Russia be had some uuusual
experiences not generally vouchsafed
to those who live outside an autocratic
government.
One day he received the czarina's
commands to play before her at her
summer resort and was told on arriv
ing there that he would have to re
hearse his program three times before
the performance. He begged to know
the reason for that, but no explanation
was given him. These were her maj
esty's orders, and he could only com
ply. Still, his astonishment grew when
he saw during the three rehearsals an
empty court carriage drawu by a pair
of horses slowly going back and forth
in frout of hisdlx-liestra.
Throughout the final' performance
the mysterious act was explained. The
empress, having a sharp attack of
gout, was obliged to recline in the
carriage, her foot on a cushion, while
the concert took place, and the object
of rehearsal had been to accustom tbe
horses to a full string band lest they
should take fright and bolt with her.
At tbe end of the performance an
-exalted dignitary of tbe court bade
Strauss follow him to a splendid grand
piano, saying: - -
"Now be good enough to play me' aii
the newest Vienna music."
Although he was pretty fatigued by
his three rehearsals and state perform

The Baths of Old Rome.
At the end of the third century after
Christ there wer in Rome 11 large
public baths and JX26 smaller ones. The
baths of Caracalla could accommodate
at one time 1.600 people; those of .Dio
cletian. 3.600. Taking 1,500 as the av
erage of each of the public baths and
50 as that of each of tbe private baths,
it appears that at any minute bathing
accommodations were possible for 62,
000 people in ancient Rome. Counting
on a population of 2,000.000, the figure
generally given as the correct one, it
would thus seem that ample privileges
were afforded every day for every in
habitant of the Imperial City. New
York American.

One of the puzzles of this address is
that if you write W. O. after tt the re
