8TREET CARS IN ENGLAND.
Overcrowding Prohibited by Law and tit -
Charsea Herniated by the Distance. !
If the American . alderman 'Would
take a few trips on the tram cars of
the great provincial cities, say Liv
erpool, Manchester, Birmingham
where the city owns and operates
them York, etc , and those of lite
metropolis itself, he would return
to "America admirably fortified by ex
perience to renew his attack upon or
his appeal to the street railway- com
panies of the municipality he in part
represents for superior accommoda
tions for the long complaining pas
sengers. In the first place, there is
no question but what the law dis
tinctly states that there shall be no
overcrowding, that there shall be so
many on a seat not one more but
if necessary one passenger may be
permitted to stand. t This applies to
both inside and out '
I do not know the reason of the
concession, but this is certain that
under this admirably arranged order
of things the humble or distinguish
ed and exalted can take a penny or
two penny or more expensive ride,
preassured that it will not only be
without inconveniences and annoy
ances, but with ease and pleasure. If
a conductor was to permit a second
person to stand eitner insiae pr out
he would be instantly relieved by one
of the inspectors on the route who
at intervals board the cars to check
the way bill, which shows the number
of passengers carried during the
journey. - The incivility which one
occasionally experiences in American
cities of drivers declining to take no
tice of would be iassengers waiting
on the sidewalk is practically un
known here, for the men know full
well that two complaints of this
character would cost them their situ
ations. To every passenger is given a tick
et from a package numbered consec
utively, which must be shown when
called for by the conductor, though
this very proper provision is rarely
exercised, for the young conductor,
who is invariably a bright fellow,
seldom makes a mistake as to who
has paid and who has not. In the
matter of boarding or alighting from
the car the ends of the conveyance
are used, but only one at a time.
That is to say, the door where the
driver stands is not used for the
time being, the passenger always
making his or her exit from the end
of the car and the same upon enter
ing it In this way any possibility of
accident in that direction is avoided.
The schedule of time for. starting
and arriving at certain points en route
is admirably maintained, and the ex
perienced traveler knows almost to
the minute what time a car will ar
rive at a certain spot, though the
place may be two or three miles from
the depot. So I really think it may
be truthfully said that the entire ar
rangements and details of the street
car system in England are as nearly
perfect as possible. There is a very
important advantage which the pas
senger has here which the directors
of companies in America do not
vouchsafe. In Boston, for instance,
every passenger pays 5 cents if he
rides for five blocks ; here you can go
a couple of miles for a penny (2 cents) .
If the average Englishman had to
pay out 5 cents for a mile's ride, he
most certainly would walk. The
principle the less the distance the
smaller the cost encourages riding
and keeps the cars well filled. Cor.

Consumption of Horse Meat In Paris.
In the survey of the butcher shops
one duty is to make sure that horse,
ass and mule meats are not masquer
ading as beef. Not that their sale is
forbidden. On the contrary, the mu
nicipal laboratory itself has declared
this sort of nourishment "an excel
lent thing." It 6imply demands that
thft meat be sold as equine and not
bovine, and that the animals which
furnish it be not decrepit or diseased.
The first point is regulated by es
tablishing shops especially for the
sale of horse meat, or if it is sold
from a. cart or in a reerularly licensed
butcher shop by requiring that it be
marked plainly, rne saie or norse
meat has grown to remarkable pro
portions since the first shop was es
tablished in 1866. The estimate is
that it is eaten now in a third of the
Parisian households. . In 1891 21,231
bnrsAs 61 mules and 275 asses were
sold in the Paris sbops.. The meat
costs about half as mucn as Deer.

Bat He Gare the Professional Billiard
Thief a Lesson. J , -
"In addition to the many other ac
complishments which made the late
William IJaydeh Edwards one of the
best equipped men in the world, he
was. a graceful and expert billiard
player," said Howard Seymour. - "A
good many years ago he played about
the best game I ever saw for aVgen
tleman. I remember once when we
were-together in Baltimore we drop
ped into the Eutaw House one day to
get out of a passing shower. We
went into the billiard room and were
attracted by a crowd looking at a
game between a clean cut, sprightly, t
confident young man, and a flushed
faced, heavily built man, who ap
peared to be a naval officer, and who
was pretty nearly too far: gone in
liquor to see a ball across the table..
"It was evident that the dapper in
dividual was a sharper and was en
gaged in fleecing his antagonist. Ed-,
wards looked angry in a minute, but
said nothing. When the game was
finished, a bystander handed some
money to the sharper who had won,
when the loser looked in our direc
tion and espied Hayden. He gave no
sign of recognition save the slightest
sort of a wink and then addressed
his opponent, 'You can beat me easy,
he remarked, 'but I can pick a man
in the room who can do the same by
you.' The other immediately ex-"
pressed his willingness to play any
body for any amount. And the naval
officer, for such he turned out to be
and an acquaintance of Hayden's,
staggered about the crowd, appar
ently aimlessly, and careened against
Edwards. Under his breath he whis
pered that the professional had won
$30 from him, and then out loud he
announced that he would select 'this
little fellow,' as he designated Ed
wards, as his champion. 'He can beat
you for $50,' he continued, with seem
ing recklessness, pulling out some
bills. The money was quickly cov
ered, and Edwards selected his cue
from the rack.
"The game was 100 points, and
Hayden won the bank and made 28.
His opponent made a miscue and
Hayden exactly duplicated his run.
The sharper made a few caroms and
slipped up on a draw shot, leaving
the balls in the corner, whereupon
my friend got them in the jaw
and ran the 44 points necessary
to make the game. Hayden put up
his cue without glancing at his an
tagonist, and we walked out. 'I de
test that drunken lout,' he remarked,
'but I hate a professional billiard
room thief a great deal more and
made up my mind to give that one a
lesson. ' The naval man overtook, us
at that moment, and it took us two
hours to get rid of him and his ex:
uberant gratitude." Washington

Smoke Combustion.

with previous arrangements. The

seven inches from the far ends of
the bars an arch is placed five inches
deep, by means of which the smoke

Sir Robert Ball, the astronomer

seems from his figures that the "great

at least four-fifths of the energy with

and that without being reinvigorated
by some extraordinary process can
not hold out more than 10,000,000
years longer, and possibly not more
than 4,000,000 years. The series of
figures from which he deduces this
startling result may also be juggled

PECK'S BAD
He Knew the Humorist Finally, bat Kot In
the WayBe Boasted, i" r . vc. ; . f
.TIieytell a characteristic story- of
George W. Peck. When his fame as
the author of the bad boy experiences
was at its height and while he. was
actually rolling in riches, -Peckjmade
a trip -to California, partly for rest
;and partly: :.to see. the country oi
which he had heard so much. A no
toriously poor dresser, he was at this
particular time very shabbily clad,
and in his coarse, ill fitting garments
you would hardly have recognized
the man everybody was talking about
and the man, too, whose check-was
good "for a cool hundred thousand.
One day, crossing thft-plnina. Peck
was curled up ina seat in the smok
. Ing car when his attention yrasjai
. tracted to a group of drummers across
' the aislalThe, train boy had a6t gone,
"through the car vending his litera
ture; and the drummers were dicusi
ing the book entitled "Peck's Bad
Boy." " One of the party, a particular
ly noisy fellow, boasted of an ac
quaintance with the author of the
- book yes, he knew Peck intimately
and forthwith proceeded to regale
his friends with elaborate stories of
his experiences with the Wisconsin
humorist. From his point of van
tage across the way Peck listened in
silent surprise to the preposterous in
, ventions of the fellow, and his
amazement deepened into horror and
chagrin when the garrulous drum
mer, encouraged by the interested
countenances of his bearera, pursued
his discourse to the extent of narrat
ing, with scrupulous attention to de
tail, the incidents of an; alleged
spree which "me and Peck"" once en
joyed together.
; You can fancy how wroth poor
Peck became when he heard himself
pictured as the veriest sot and liber
tine, for if there are virtues upon
which he prides himself they are his
temperance and his morality. Hav
ing heard himself dragged by this
superb liar through the boozing dens
and low resorts of Milwaukee, Broth
er Peck finally arose, gathered him
self together and broke in upon the
mendacious drummer's narrative. He
said he had known Peck a great many
years and was able to declare that
Peck never tasted liquor and nc-ver
visited disreputable places. Warm
ing up to his business in hand, Peck
dilated with severity upon the evil
practice of falsely laying claim to ac
quaintance with people, a practice
.to6 often indulged in by vulgar, noisy
people. T
f He concluded his castigation of the
offender by disclosing his identity, by
' denouncing the blatant drummer as
an impostor and by saying: "Here
after, .sir, when you are tempted to
lie about me, pray let your fancy
concern itself with me alone. When
you report that I am a libertine, you
reflect upon my home relations, and
that is an offense which I shall not
tolerate-. You may advertise me as
a fool, as a drunkard, as a thief, but
be precious careful not to libel or
slander me in such wise as to wrong
and pain those whose relations to me
as wife and children are my para
mount,1 sweetest, tenderest, most sa
cred consideration."
i The story goes on to relate that by
the time Peck concluded his remarks
the loquacious drummer had shriv
eled up into such a little wad that
i you could almost have plugged a key
hole with him. Chicago Record.

MOSTV BEAUTIFUL OF BIRD3.
The
QoezaL Whose Plumage Rivals the
...... Rainbow's Brilliancy. ' 1
In the Smithsonian building at "An incident which perhaps affect
Washington is exhibited one partic- 'ed me more than anything I saw dur
ularly perfect specimen of the most- ing the war," said Judge Neale of
beautiful bird in, the world. While v Kittanning to a reporter, Vwas after
its coloration is as brilliant as that of the .battle of Gettysburg. : 1 1 went
any humming bird its superior size down there to see what wn fr
renders it more attractive to the eye:
This is the quezal of Guatemala. Its
plumage vies in brilliancy with the
rainbow and shines with a metallic
luster. Until within the last few
years it W88 unknown to science,
mainly owing to the fact that it is a
hermit among feathered creatures,
delighting in the silence of deserts.
It dwells on mountain heights above
7,000 feet in elevation. The quezal
was the royal bird of the Aztecs. Its
breast is a brilliant scarlet, while its
green tail attains a length of 8 feet.
Its size is about equal to a pigeon.
Its plumes were utilized anciently
for the adornment of headdresses
and for the famous feather pictures
of the Mexicans. It nestles in holes
in worm eaten trees, which it en
larges with its bill so as to form a
comfortable and roomy residence.
The young are hatched totally naked.
It is the hardest of all birds to pre
pare! for stuffing because the skin
tears like so much tissue-paper, and
the feathers are implanted to so
slight a depth that they readily fall
out. A specimen is very apt to be
spoiled by falling against a branch
on being shot. Up to 1860 naturalists
did not know where the quezal was
to be found. The few specimens
which had fallen into their hands
were obtained from the Indians of
Guatemala, who kept the secret.
About that time, however, a collect
or, visiting that country, got on the
track, went up into the mountains
and shot a number of the birds. It
is said that in ancient times the skins
of all birds of this species that were
killed belonged by law to the king,
and nobody outside of the royal
family was permitted to wear the
plumes.
-The quezal belongs to the family
of trogons. This genus includes 46
epecies, 33 of which are American.
All of them are very beautiful.

Xaguerrea Process. '
The process devised byDaguerre
was substantially as follows: A sheet
of planish copper, plated with silver
and well cleaned by treating with di
luted nitric acid and washingwith wa
ter, was exposed to the action of the
vapors of iodine. By this exposure a
thin film of iodide of silver was
formed on the "surface, certain me
chanical precautions being taken to
insure that it should be uniform in
all parts. The sheet thus prepared
was then placed in a camera substan
tially the same in principle as the
photographic camera in use today
and was exposed to the object for
from eight to ten minutes. The plate
was then covered and removed from
the camera to a dark room, where it
was exposed to the action of the va
por of mercury, aided by the applica
tion of gentle heat, by which the im
age was developed. It was then fixed
by immersion in a solution of hypo
sulphite of soda, which dissolved out
all the unchanged silver iodide.
Washing with water followed, and
the finished picture was protected by
a cover of glass and suitably inclosed
in a frame, one that could be closed.

Bojer Williams and the Bay Colony.
Mr! Edmund J. Carpenter has come
bravely to the defense of the men of
-
Massachusetts Bay in
the matter of
the expulsson of Roger Williams. In
a remarkably scholarly paper, read
before the Historic-Genealogical so
ciety he showed pretty clearly that
the colony had to repudiate Williams
and his ideas as a matter of rea
sonable public policy, and that this
repudiation did not extend to his
ideas of religious or civil hberty.
This floes not detract from the rev-
erence due to Koger Williams tor
his work for liberty of belief and of
government, but it goes to relieve
the Massachusetts of those days from
somef aspersions. Ifris not so long
ago that a Fourth of July orator here
in Boston spoke of -the "burning" of
witches in Massachusetts..; A judi

history is greatly desirable. Boston

erations of the two with interest
One was a middle aged man, and the
other was a mere boy. Both wore
the blue uniform. " .
"The work of the two in the twi
light had a most peculiar effect upon
me, There beside the pile of yellow
clay lay the body of a Union soldier.
An ugly hole in his forehead, em
phasized by the mark of the blood
that had flowed from it; told too well
how he had met his fate. It was an
unpleasant sight, yet try as hard as
I would I could not tear myself awav
from it. I began to study the two
workers and noticed that the boy's
face had a most sorrowful look. He
tried to work hard, but there seemed
to be a heavy load oppressing him.
Every fib"w and then he would glance
at the dead body beside him and then
wipe away a tear. I then began to
talk to the workingmen. I asked
for whom the grave was intended,
and the elderly man pointed to the
boy, then to the corpse, and whisper
ed to me, 'His father. I could never
teE you what an effect this had upon
ma
"The idea of a son digging his
father's grave! It seemed horrible
to me, something that I could not
bear. I went over to the young man.
and after throwing off my coat took
his pick from him and told Tim I
would do his work. While we dug
away the boy sat off at a distance and
wept most bitterly. When we had
placed his father in his last resting
place and had finished our work, he
took me by the hand, and as tears
rolled down his cheeks expressed his
thankfulness for the service I had
done him. Never had I seen such
gratitude. That incident made an
impression upon me that I have never
been able to efface. "Pittsburg" Dis-

Paper Spindles.
The introduction of paper spindles,
for yarn spinning, thus avoiding the
objection to the great weight of steel
as heretofore .used, is said to have
proved a decided advantage, and the
process of manufacture is described
as follows: A quantity of common
pulp stock is run into molds the shape
of a spindle, no attention being given
to the whirl at this stage, and the
cast of the molds is such that a spin
dle is produced about four times the
required size in diameter.
In the process of hardening the
soft, flabby spindle is placed in a com
press, as it is termed a sort of hy
draulic device in which a force pump
is employed to 'give an enormous
pressure. The spindle is placed sin
gly m a peculiar shell arrangement,
so made that, by revolving certain
screws in the side compress upon the
spindle from all sides, the latter is
squeezed inter a compartment about
one-quarter its original size. -. The
hydrauUc. power is used in making ;
the apparatus" turn, which gives mo
tion to the numerous screws; ; When
compression of the spindle! is com-
pleted, - a perfectly formed,' hard,!
tough, substantial one is produced,
and when dried and polished the sur
face is said to be1 as hard as metal
The whirls are next made. Again
the molds ' are used, and the same
method of compressing is applied,
