Upon It. Magnificent Extent and Great Future. Mr. John Pender, of London, a member of the Enzlish parliament, Is known as the Jay Gould of England. He is largely interested in tele- graphs, and is traveling in this country to in- spect the workings of the Western Union tele- graph. Last week he was in Cincinnati in com- pany with the Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, ard it was in this connection that an Enquirer re- porter made his acquaintance. Just returned from a trip throush the territories, he was enthu ing them.

When you take into account the dis- ee from the market, land is dearer along the Northern Pacific than it is in Missouri. it is astonishing to see how fast land is taken up there. Your narrow-gauge system of railroads tn the west was a surprise to me, I could not sufficiently admire the pluck and energy that built those roads. Why, I saw railroads’ build- ing where I could not imagine how the surveys were nade, the country was so precipitous and seemingly impracticable, Your American en- gineers are men of great courage, intelligence and fertility of resource. They appear to be ed- ucated by the very difficulties they encounter. Then, too, these roads tind business waiting for them as fast as they are built. The railroad de- velopment all over the country is a credit to the enterprise of American capitalists. You must Temember, though, that there is British capital in them, too. I think it is well placed. Your Toads are built rapidly, but though there is no Money wasted in them, they are well and solidiy muilt. “Tam told there is abundance of land not yet cultivated in your most settled states.

Speaking of the office of the Grand Hotel, he looked around with admiration, and. after asking the population of the city, remarked | that in none of the smaller cities of England, Manchester, Liverpool or Leeds, could any- thing so fine be seen. Their hotels might be as comfortable in the private apartments, Dut such magnificent rooms for the reception and entertainment of guests could nowhere be seen. He thought Americans traveled Wore than anyother people. As to modes of | traveling, he would not concede that the Ameri- | ean were the best. For himself, he liked to | travel in American cars, because he wanted to | move around, “but we English are more exclus- ive than you are, you know.” He thought Amer- feans should travel in Enrope more and become aquainted with England. On the other hand, he believed it would be a benefit to them if tere Englishmen traveled in this country. “I nit. if ths am coming back again.

An Englishman has just established a manu- factory of jewsharps in Troy. It is said that there are only two others in the country, one in New York and the other in Boston.

How the Guests at the Windsor Hotel Were Treated to a Nocturnal Scare by a Prima Donna. From the Denver Tribune. “Hell doctor! my child is dying!” was the despairing cry that resounded through the up- per corrider of the Windsor hotel about 1 o’clock this morning. Again and again the piercing words of anguish rent the quiet of the hour, until within less time than is required In telling, all the guests on the east hall of the ‘‘400” floor were aroused. The first word that flew from door to door was “fre,” and_half-dressed, with a remnant of their wardrobe in their hands, many of the frightened visitorsrushed wildly out into the corridor to heir escape from the imagined flames. Meanwhile the wateh- man had been attracted to the corridor, and immediately divining the canse, set at rest the lears of the guests by telling them that it was only somebody attacked by a sudden sickness. Vhile they were retreatin: y, “A doctor, for heaven's sake,” was heard between heartrending sobs issuing from the south tend of the corridor. Then another voi amistakably that of a man, said: “bathe its feet, and do the best you can until I can get my clothes on to go for a doctor.” As the watchinan walked down the corridor towards Amina appeared from room 412, her face full of fright, disheveled hair and white night garment, ing a picture that terrifled him. Appar- oblivious to the scantiness of her attire, she rushed up to him. He recognized her. s Emma Abbott. “Quick!” she ex ephone down stairs f& sake, and call a doctor; my baby : The watchman lost no time in carrying out her command. and soon the central telephone station was ringing a dozen bells to arouse a physician. Miss Abbott returned to. her room, and with the assi: ice of her husband and the nurse tried to alleviate the sufferings of the lit- tle one, who was passing throush all the painful contortions of a violent croup. Miss Abbott's grief was none the more poignant than that of Mr. Weiherell. In fact, curious and sympa- thetic guests who were brave enough to con- gregate near the door to await the result say that he was for the moment insane, and instead of trying to assuage the anguish of the mother of his ld, he tore madly around the room. knocking over the furniture and smashing al the destructible articles in his path. Vainly she appealed to him to go for some mustard, so that a blister might be applied to the child for tem- porary relief; vainly she besought him to hasten for some hot water—anything—to prolong life until the doctor arrived. It seemed an hour, that interval of fifteen minutes, so mad with pleadings to heaven, and the tears and incon- solable grief of the young parents. Finally Dr. Lathrop arrived with a case of surgical instruments, the silver tube which is used in extreme cases of croup, and a supply of medicine. “©, doctor, you can save our little boy, can’t you?” pleaded the tearful prima donna. “Heis all we have; all we ever had; and it will killme if he dies.” “When was he taken this way?” asked the doetor quietly. Don't make any difference?” exclaimed Mr. Wetherell. “Don't stand there asking ques- tions, wien amoment’s treatment may save his life. “Ifyou pull him through you may have the Teceipts of a night.” “I don't think you need be alarmed,” said the doctor, undisturbed by Mr. Wethereli’s fierce- ness. “What do you mean?” sald Miss Abbott, doubtingly. “He isall right. There is nothingthe matter with him but an attack of spasmodic croup. He will be well in a few moments,” replied the doctor. During the intense strain of doubt ana fear Miss Abbott had bravely held her equilibrium, bat when the glad news of her darling’s safety was told her, she swooned away. The child had suffered a slight attack on the previous night. It appears that the nurse had taken him out to ride in his carriage during the afternoon and he contracted a cold, with the result narrated. Although Miss Abbott was Yery much prostrated in consequence of the nervous strain, she declared that she would ap- pear that night. ———+e-—___ LYSANDER WITH EARLY ROSE. Mr. Vanderbilt. Appearance Inter= ceptsa Veteran's Interesting Talk. At the meeting of trotting-horse breeders at Fleetwood Park, New York, on Saturday, a veteran horseman said to a Sun reporter: “He's an unlucky man—Vanderbilt.” “How do you make that out?” “Well, he’s ambitious, and he’s lucky enough in his stock operations, @ut with his trotting stock luck has gone against him. With all his scouring the country fora team to rival any in the world, he has not succeeded. Work's got the fastest team “Mr. Vanderbilt has driven his team Aldine and Early Rose in 2:22;” said the reporter. “That goes for nothing,” the veteran re- plied. “Mr. Vanderbilt has bought any number of fast horses at high prices, and what shape are they in now? William H., who trotted with Lysander in 2:20 to a top wagon, 1s ‘off; his famous mare Maud S. is fractious and nervous, and has also been ‘off’ for some time, and will not trot fast double in any circumstances. he has just bought this new team. Early Ro: and Aldine, and Aldine has got a bad quarter erack which will lay her up for some time. Bi ppear!” Mr. Vanderbilt just then drove up to the club house, and when the crowd saw that. he had Early Rose and Lysander hitched together there was great surprise, everybody wanting to know what was the matter with Aldine. At a wedding not long since, among the pre- sents displayed was a $1,000 bank note from the father of the bride. After the wedding was over the old gentleman folded up the note and put it back in bis veat pocket. e conduct of that doting father reminds one very much of the promises of reform made by candidates pre- vious to the election as contrasted with their performances when the election is over.—Tezas “I don’t believe in this learning Bing of the present century the jewsharp was au aerenaats et with a se; - Eulenstein, a native of Werleabire seusation in London by playing upon sixteen at Spanish, French or any foreign bo ry ” sald Michigan man the other day. “Why, I lived among a lot of Germans got along with them Just as well as if [had known their lan- ald contrive it?” “Wh: Bee un- deratood mine,"—Detroa Five Prem?

The Imebriate Asylum. Correspondence of the Cincinnati Enquirer. While I was talking to a New York officer we were passing up the New York bay. On the Long Island shore side is a red brick building. He remarked: “That is the Kings county inebriate asylum; any person sent there has to be committed by law for drunkenness habitually, and after that his friends can pay large sums of money and have him accommodated with special, often luxurious, rooms.” The ofticer mentioned the son of a very con- spicucus man who died long ago worth several millions of dollars; aman one time mentioned in the newspapers nm available candidate for President of the U: States. He said: ‘There, till recently, Mr. ——'s son served a term for habitual drunkenness. His father [lett him # was equivalent to bein off in the will. The son was drunk for 8, and, although he is out of the pad, he has been drunk a great 0.000 per vear, whict cut deal e since, In reference to another rich man’s son, the officer said: “He has not been home for four years. His father, who has a very large income, found th: he, ina fit of recklessness, had deliberately married a prostitute in a public house, having the ceremony performed there. They had barely got him out of that scrape when it was found that he wanted to marry an upper ser- vant in his father’s house. Consequently the young man was sent to Europe, and was kept liberally supplied with money, but is not allowed to come home.” “Well,” said I to the officer, “do rich men’s sons in New York give them much trouble of that kind?” “Yes, ina number of cases—a majority cer- tainly—the sons of rich men in New York c: turn out worthless or worse. Their parents have no time to devote to their children, being engaged in a battle with their own geaerati for wealth and power, and they furnish their sons with money, preferring to let them have money rather than be a source of annoya: The sons go out and make another wor! that they have at home.

Bertha Von Hillern, the noted female pedes- trian who used to walkin Washington, contri- butes to the last number of the Youths’ Com- panion the following sensible remarks about ex- ercise for young ladies: One of the problems of the age is to discover the cause why women cannot pursue the same course of studies with men, and not, break down by the way, or invalid themselves for the future if they keep on. It seems to have been pretty well proved that they haye the intellec- tual power to grasp the same studies, and when they break down it is not because they have ond their inéeilectual, but their physical Coujd I haye, for one year before uation, control’ of six you into faint and fail, and of six of tie id active of the young men, I would show the tables turned. Let the ung man, fo: welye months, be forced to lead the kind of life these “broken down” girl-students have led; let the young women gradually fall into the number of hours of out-door exercise their brothers have had, and the result will be— six pallid and drooping young men shall come up to take their degrees, and six rosy-cheeked, smiling young girls shall come up for theirs, with health enough ieft to make long and hap- py use of the stores of knowledge they have treasured up. To ask the tired school-girl or the more weary teacher to ‘take a walk,” seems to invite them toa monotonous effort, of the good of which they are only half convinced, of the pleasure, even less so; but once let it be known what pleasures are open to the habitual pedestrian, and the ranks of the walking students would fill rapidi; It is said that girls break down in their studies not only beea the studies are too severe, but because tired as they are, the natural craying for excitement leads them to evening parties and amusements which still fur- ther tax the failing strength, and so acrusade is preached against excitement. Butthecraving for it remains, and youth, however ambitious, will still demand to beamused; the only way isto pro- vide ameans of healthy excitement, and this lies far more in the possibilities of a walk than those who have not experienced it would read- ily believe. Had I time to take charge of a party of young pees for afew weeks’ vacation, in the White ountains, for example, I believe I could show them how to get pleasure out of a walk that would astonish them. Let us suppose ourselves about to take a walk up @ mountain side. But first let us be prepared with soft, stronz boots, broad enough to give the feet full play, with wide, low heels. Let the dress be flannel, made so as to give en- tire freedom of action to limbs and lungs, and short enough to keep out of the dust and mud. If exposed to the direct action ot a hot sun, a white cloth, dry, inside the hat, is the best pro- tection for the head. In climbing mountains preserve a position al- most as upright as when walking on a level; the slightest help gained by throwing the body far- ther forward is more than counterbalanced by the extra strain upon the muscles of the back causing, “backache,” and the cramping of the lungs, resulting in short, panting breath. From time to time take a long. slow breath, €xpanding the lungs to their fullest capacity. in leaping over streams, or in any Jumping, try to avoid a jerk; so much injury can be done to the delicate human machinery by any shock (mental or physical) that it is worth while to give alittle time to the practice of leaping in order to learn to do it smoothly. Tle great point istolet the whole body remain supple; then when we land upon our feet the body retains its springiness, and does not come down like a log of wood. Do not drink cold water when overheated; if cold water is taken, hold it inthe mouth unt the chill is off before swallowing,and if you must sit down fora rest, walk gently a little while before stopping; never allow yourself to cool suddenly after being overheated. Some of the ‘ladies of my acquaintance - who are now the best walkers were a few years ago pitial invalids. Through a carefully acquired habit of exercising in the open alr, they are now in perfect health—capable of great endurance and rapid recuperation. It seems to me, could Ihave the personal control of one hundred délicate women tora year, that I could bring ninety of them at least to a condition of health before the year was over. It has been said that in this country walking is not practicable; that there are no proper roads or paths; that our rude and changing weather, our mud and dust and winds, are al- most insurmountable objections. I have been thrown by ¢ircumstances into nearly every variety of adverse surroundings with regard to walking in this country, and I have yet to find in any part of the United States, or the British provinces, where I could not walk from ten to twenty miles at almost any season, with no more serious inconvenience than might be safely borne by Fast young girl in ordinary health who had a habit of out-of- door exercise. ——____+e-________ ‘The Matter with the Telephone, From the Detroit Free Press. “T doan’ know vhat I shall do mit dat tele- day and sat down In a discouraged wa! “Out of order, is it?” “Sometimes it vhas, und sometimes tt vhas all right.

It has long been employed by homeopathic practitioners as a remedy in certain kinds of headaches. In those who work much with it the tendency to headache is generally overcome though not always. It freezes at about 40 de— grees Fahrenheit, becoming a white, half-crys- talized mass, which must be melted by the aj plication ot water at a temperature of about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. If perfectly pure—that 1s, ifthe washing has been 80 complete as to re- move all traces of the acid—it can be kept for an indefinite perlod of time; and, while many cases of spontaneous decomposition have oc- curred in impure specimens, there has never been known such an instance where the proper care has been given to all the detailsot the man- ufacture. When pure nitro-glycerine is not very sensi- tive to friction, or even to moderate percussion, it asmall quantity be placed on an anvil and struck with a hammer, that portion which is touched explodes sharply, but so quickly as to drive away the other particles; if, however, it were even slightly confined, so that none could escape, it would all explode or detonate. It must be fired by a fuse containing fulminate of mercury (the compound ysed in percussion caps), not being either readily or certainly fired by gunpowder, the shock of the latter not being sufficiently quick or. sharp to deto- nate the nitro-glycerine. It is highly probable that in this case, as in that of other high explosives, the vibrations set up by the fulminate (which is not stronzer than’ gun- powder) are of just such a character as to find an answering chord, so to speak, in the ex- plosive, so that the desired effect is produced. This would seem to be a correct theory, for it vay the most powerful explosive which readily causes the explosion of another For instance, although nitro-zlycerine body. is much more powerful jthan fulminate of mer- cury, yet seventy graing of it will not explode gun-cotton, while fifteen grains of the weaker fulminate will readily do so. The fuse general- ly used, then, for firing nitro-glycerine is com- posed of from fifteen to tweney-five grains of fulminate, and this quantity is sufficient to de- tonate a large mass as well as a small one. If flame be applied to nitro-glycerine it will not explode, but burn with comparative slug- gishness. When frozen‘it is difficult and uncer- tain of tiring. If the material be perfectly pure it forms upon detonation a volume of gases nearly 1,300 times as great as that of the origi- nal liquid; these gases are also further ex- panded by the heat developed toa theoretical (though not practical) volume 10,000 times as great as that of the charge. Practically speak- ing, the forces exerted by gunpowder and nitro- glycerine are in the proportion of 1 to 8.—From “ Explosions and Explosives,” by Alan D. Brown, in Popular Science Monthly for October. ee eee Table Manners of Children. From Bili Nye’s Boomerang. Young children who have to wait till older people have eaten all there is in the house should not openthe dining-room door during the meal and ask the host if he is going to eat all day. It makes the company feel ill at ease and lays up wrath in the parents heart. Children should not appear displeased with the regular course at dinner and then fill up on pie. Eat the less expensive food first and then organize a panic in the presery Do not close out the last of your soup by taking the plate in your mouth and pouring the liquid down your childish neck. You might spill It, and it enlarges and disorts the mouth unnecessarily. When asked what part of the fowl you pre- fer do not say you will take the part that goes over the fence last. This remark is very hu- morious, but the rising generation ought to originate some new table jokes that will be worthy of the age in which we live. Children should early learn the use of the fork and how to handle it. This knowledge can be acquired by allowing them to pry up the carpet tacks with the instrument, and other lit- tle exercises such as the parent mind may sug- gest. The child should be taught at once not to wave his bread around over the table while in conversation, or to fill his mouth full of pota-. toes and then converse in a rich tone of voice with some one out in the yard. He might get his dinner down his trachea and cause his parents great anxiety. In picking up a plate or saucer filled with soup or with moist food, the child should be taught not to parboil his thumb in the contents of the dish and to avoid swallowing soup bones or other indigestible debris. Toothpicks are generally the last course, and children should not be permitted to pick their teeth and kick the table through the other exer- cises. While ce Is being said at table, chil- dren should ki that it isa breach of good breeding to smouge fruit cake Just because their parents’ heads are bowed down and their attention for the moment turned in another di- rection. Children ought not to be permitted to find fault with the dinner or fool with the cat while eating. Boys should, before going to the table, empty all the frogs and Legg gl out of their pockets, or those insects might crawl out during the festivities ang. jump,iato the gravy. Ifa fly wades into your jelly up to his - brels do not mash him wi jour spoon before all the guests, as death, js at ail times depres- ane to those who are atdinner and retards di- gestion. Take the fly out carefully with what naturally adheres to his person and wipe him on the table-cloth. It will demonstrate your perfect command of yourself and afford amuse- ment for the company. Do not stand up it our chair and try to Spear a roll with your fork. Say ‘thank you” and “much obliged” and “beg pardon” wherever you can work in these remarks, as it throws people off their and gives you an. opportunity to get in your work on the pastry and other bric-a-brac near you at the time.
