Energy and perseverance speedily vanquished all ob- stacles. The condensers furnished by Messrs. Nobel & Co., the great petroleum manufac- turers—whose works we inspected the other day at Baku and Balakbam—turned out 70.000 gallons of excellent water dai Sea water, brought up in tanks, was sprinkled over the slopes of the cuttings and embankments, which it bound together with a firm crust of salt as it dried. Stitt clay from the neighboring marshes ‘was employed to consolidate the sandy portions ot the line, while the sand was used to dry and stiffen the muday spots. Light hurdle shields, such as those which protect the railways of European Russia avainst their five months’ snow ‘were employed with equal success to check the drifting sands of the desert. A small roc! island in Mikhatloff Bay tarnished the ball required for the line, and so abiy was the wor! carried on that even the terrible sand-storms of September and October never delayed the traffic tor more than three hours. By September, 1880, whep Gen. Skobeleff was preparing to start for*the Caspian sea- board on his memorable campaicn against the Tekke Turcomans of Geok . the new rail. way was already open as far as Mulla Kari (a distance of 1434 miles) aud 22 more were tray- ersed by he tram cars on the French De Korval system. Since that time both the line itself and its accessories have advanced fapidly. One may now cross the Caspian in one night by steamer from Baku and travel eastward by train the next morning over the wide waste of gray, Titeless sands beyond it, till at length you Teach the spot where a big, newly built Russian barrack stares out of countenance the crumbling walls of the ancient Persian fortress of Kizit Arvat. But although tie trains ran no furtler at present the track is being vigorousiy pushed forward in a south- easterly direction toward Askabad, the capital of Russia’s new province on the northeastern border of Persia. Once at Askabad, the rail- road will have only 300 miles further to go In order to reach Herat it=elf (the key of western Afghanistan), traversing on its way the now celebrated “oasis of Merv,” and the very spot where Moore’s ‘Veiled Prophet of Khorassan” led such a Jolly life nine centuries ago. The whole of this distance. upto the very gates of Herat, has been recently surveyed by M. Lessar ‘and other competent Russian engineers, and it is now satisfactorily ascertained that the first 200 and the last 90 miles of the projected track ‘would require no earthwork at all, and that on the middie section of 100 miles there would be no more earthwork than upon an average rail- way in European Russia.

School Girls on a Spree. | New Haven dispatch to New York Times, Nov. 96, | On one of the trains bound for New York, | passing through this city a little after noon to- day, was a crowd of girls. They were evidently | from some colleze or boarding school near Bos- ton, a3 they occupied two Boston and Albany cars, which they had all to themselves. There was a crowd of Yale students at the station who left on the same train. Most of them were look- ling for a smoking car, and when they saw | dainty clouds of smoke pouring through the windows in these cars they naturally thought they were smoking cars. When they tried the | doors and found they were locked they won- dered, aud their wonder was increased to in- tense curiosity when they saw there was nobody but girls In the cars, and that several of them were smoking cigarettes. A crowd of the stu- dents clustered on the platform and lookea longingly into the windows of the cars where they would like to be. That the girls werefrom some college was made farther evident because many of them wore society pins, and the ap- oS . of the crowd was that peculiar to col- leze boys, except that these wore dresses. Sev- eral were playing cards, but none were drink- ing, at least an Inquisitive reporter who was attracted by the sight and who rode on the platform of one of the cara to Bridgeport saw no bottles. Indulgence in the smaller vices | conld not be attributed to the whole crowd, as ut of fifty or so girls in the car not more than who were in the corner, were indulging in scholerly traits. Cigarettes were the only gs the girls smoked. They had neither cigars nor pipes. eral of them had dainty cigarette holders, and a couple of them were evidently meerschaums and had seen use, as the dainty light brown coloring showed. ‘The girls seemed to be having a quiet, enjoyable smoke in a quiet, dignified Boston sort of way. | None ot the non-smokers seemed to think It at | all out of the way fortheircompantonstosmoke. All were young-looking, and if there were any teachers in the crowd they did not look it. The whole thing looked, through the window, like a mild caricature of college men on their way home. In the forward part of the two cars, oc- cupied entirely by the girls, all the livelier and Jollier spirits in the school had apparently gathered to have an enjoyable trip to New York. College men looked with enormous eyes, and the seats in tne regular smoker held many @ youth who would much have preferred to be in the car playing whist with the girls. = ~ ‘The Story of an Umbrelia, From the Denver Times, Gen. H. F. Sickles, the Colorado Commissioner | to the New Orleans Exposition, was tellingsome friends afew days ago about his first glimpse ofa mountain lion. He said: “We were living up inthe mountains and had quitea herd of cows, among them one, an old cow, who wore a bell. The cows had been missing for several days. and the boys were out searching, and one afternoon I thought I would try what 1 could do. So I mounted a pony and rode quite a dis- tance, when I thought I heard the old cow’s bell. I dismounted and started to prowl around among the rocks and bushes, “It had been raining during the early part of the afternoon, andI had an umbrella. I tied the pony to a tree and started. After I had gone a short distance I caught a glimpse of the cows, As I started toward them, sugdenly they lifted their heads, crooked their tails, and started away on a dead run. Iwas just wond what frightened them, when I heard a rustling in the bushes behind me. “I turned around, and there, not ten fect away, was a big mouttain lion standing on a rock staring at me. I assure I never felt 80 bashful in all my lite. Thain squn or even a Jack-knife, and there was that beast staring and getting ready for a spring.

Thold it to be a truth constantly self-evident that every man will defend a woman against | all men except himselt. If you haven't no- ticed it already, you have only to look for it | anhourorso in any place of mixture of the sexes. Clap your eyes on a pretty woman without mele escort, and two phenomena will become obvious. Firstly, there will be a large amount of open and covert staring at her, to all of which her obliviousness is, of course, only assumed. Secondly, if one of the starers hap- pens to realize that others are at the same game, he will manifest plainly his disgust at such treatment of an unprotected beauty, utterly ignoring his own oilense. A husband and wife got into a street car. The man was somewhat dndish in dress. The woman was under 20, and as pretty as nature and art are in the habit of combining to produce. They were chattering on the very subject that Ihave here introduced. “Percival, dear.” said she, “I will prove to you that 1 am right, and take only ten minutes to do it, if you'll promise not to get angry about it.” He closed the contract. Then she drew her- self up as though the husband sitting beside her was an entire stranger, and waited tor the car to fill with passengers at Union square. “Now,” she whispered behind her fan, “ob- serve how I am ogled when alone. Within five minutes he saw that half a dozen masculine passengers, trom hoary age to callow youth, eyed his bride with more or less audacit anifestly would not have needed t beginning of a wink on her part to seize upon her then and there. t part of the exhibition was a triumph for the but the most curious teature of her ex) nt re- mained to be tried. “You certainly do seem to attract a great deal of adiniration, id the husband, supposing the pretended strangeness was atanend. She yebrows in simulated surprise, as though an impertinent fellow had unwarrantly ed her, and pointedly turned her face from him. He understood her now, and did not speak to ber further. Next, she drew her shoulder away from contact with his.

From the London Times, The doctrine starts with the fundamental p ciple that, being animals, we should wear ani- mal clothing. of poisonous emanation from animal life is a process not limited, it would appear, to living | plants, but continued by vegetable fiber such as cotton, linen, ete., with the difference that while the living plant assimilates these emanations, the dead fiber cannot do so, but exhales them again when wetted or warmed. Thus our clothes, in consequence of their vegetable cha acter, attract and retain those noxious princi- ples which should, on the contrary, be thrown off with the greatest possible promptitude. On the other hand, animal material, such as wool, is made by nature to protect animal life, and Willi not prevent, but assist the evaporaticn of the emanations coming from the body. This can readily be proved by the sense of sinell. It suffices to wear clothes of pure wool through- out, and there iz at once an end to the unplea antness noticed in the linen underclothing, the cotton linings of the coat, ete. facts Dr. Gustay Jaeger, profes- and physiology at Stuttgart, de- duces his medical theory, which has won in- numerable disciples in an incredibly short time. Dr. Jaeger points out that the human body is 00 The pres- st can be tested id the rapidity of the ‘To test the nervous activity a stch isemployed which ean record the jousandth 't of a seeond. periments showed in one tastance that the rapidity of ac- tion after a Turkish bath increased to the ex- teut of 13 per cent. What isnow known as Dr. Jaeger's sanitary woolen clothing is so contrived as to obviate these evils. The clothing consists, for men, of tight-titting stockinzette undergarments made of pure undyed wool, fastened oyerthe shoulder, and of double thickness overthe breast. The coat or Jacket is double-breasted, buttoned well | up to the throat,contains no lining nor padding, unless, ons wool, and is either undyed. or treated with only uninjurious fast dyes. The same rule applies to the trowsers, while the waistcoat is either dispensed with altogether or it forms aninner lap affixed to the side of the coat. Inside the sleeves and the trowsers legs there is a contrivance, which, fastening tight round the limb, prevents up draughts. for cold, rheumatism, lumbago, ete., are caught by the sudden rush of cold air to one particular part of the body, and not by the gradual cooling of the entire system. The feet are clad in pure woolen socks, with divisions for each toe, while the upper part of the bootis made of felt, the lower part also ot felt or of porous leather, and the Inner soles consists of perforated leather and layers of felt. Thus the boot is thoroughly por- ous, and the feet are consequently kept as clean and pure as the hands. By doubly protecting the front of the body where the blood vessels converge these ure stimulated, and, as an even temperature throughout Is maintained, the necessity for great coats 1s obviated, rain or damp having little orno effect, for in every case gradual and even evaporation is insured. While they are the best protection against cold these clothes are also the coolest in summer. Little or no change need be made between winter and sum- mer, at least in the temperate region; andmeans have Ween found by which this system can with equal facility be adopted by women. Nor can'a “woolenine” be easily distinguished from the “woodenites,” as the wearers of vegetable fiber may be called. The substitution of a collar made of unstarched white cashmere for the customary starched linen collar is the most conspicuous feature In the dress; otherwise it would be difficult to detect the disciples of this system. The cashmere coilar, however, is not only most comfortable, but is a preventive of throat disorders. All these precautions taken during the day must be continued at night. The bed must also be free from vegetable fiber. The linen sheet must be replaced by woolen blankets or came!- hair rugs, with white cashmere sheets if pre- ferred. The mattress and the pillow should also be stuffed and covered with wool; but when thus protected the sleeper need fear neither cold norchange of temperature, and is, therefore, urged to keep his window well open at night. Indeed, the possibility ot thus securing pure air In the bedroom without risk is one of the most important advantages of the system. In reward for this great change in the mode of living the action of the skin {s so etimulated that the nox- fous principles, the “bad humors” our forefath- ers so often spoke about, are soon given off and evaporated. Corpulence is reduced, the flesh becomes firm and thoroughiy “hardened,” while the acceleration ot nervous action and general improvement in the physical and men- tal working powers is demonstrated by the stop- watch test. Then, according to Dr. Jaeger, the body has resumed its “normal” condition. Such, briefly, is the reform in clothing ap- proved and carried out by thousands of Ger- Imans, not afew Prussians and some Engillsh- men, and which has been introduced in our midst at the South Kensington International Health exhibition, and by the opening of a de- pot in Fore street, where articles of every de- pues connection with the system are to seen.

He talks intelligently on every subject except that. When he begins to speak of his tour and his troupe, he 1s evidently utterly daft. Mr. Mc- Cullough wanders around from one table to Snother in Delmonico's during the whole even- ing. Often he is there all day. Last Sunday, for instance, he wandered in in the morning and stayed until nearly midnight, only leaving at intervals for short excursions up the avenue.
