Sit Up and Count the Whistles—Never Believe Any One Who Tells You Where to Change Trains or How to Identify the Place—Suggested Substitutes for Conductors” Way of Sticking Bits of Paper in Passengers’ Hats—Disappointed Accident Policy Holders. LU LT “IT WOULD BE SIMPLER IF THE CONDUCTOR SHOULD NAIL THE ™ PAID-UP PASSENGER TO THE BACK OF THE SEAT.” HE folloging hints and observa- | tions have occurred to me dur- | ing a recent trip across the continent. They are written in no spirit of complaint against ex- | iating railroad methods, but merely in | the hope that they may prove useful to those who travel, like myself, in a | spirit of meek, observant ignorance. 1. Sleeping in a Pullman car pre- gents some difficulties to the novice. Care should be taken to allay all eense of danger. The frequent whistling of | the engine during the night is apt to be a source of alarm. Find out, there- fore, before traveling the meaning of | the various whistles. One means “sta- | tion,” two. “raflroad crossing,” and so on. Five whistles, short and rapid, mean sudden danger. When you hear whistles in the night. it up smartly in your bunk and count | them. Should they reach five, draw on your trousers over your pajamas and leave the train instantly. As & further precaution against accident, slcep with the feet toward the engine it sou prefer to have the feet crushed, or with the head toward the engine if you think it best to have the head crushed. In making this decision try to be as unselfish as possible. If in- different, sleep crosswise with the head hanging over into the ais T have devoted some thought to | thie proper method of changing trains. | The system which T have observed to | be the most popular with travelers of | my own class, is something as follows ppose that you have been told on |leaving New York that vou are to | change at Kansas Citr. | before approaching Kansas City stop | the conductor in the aiele of the car | (vou can do this best by putting out | your foot and tripping him), and eay | politely, “Do I change at Kansas City~ |He says “Yes." Very good. Don't be- | lieve him. | * x % % On going into the dining car for | supper, take a negro aside and put it | to him as a personal matter between | a white man and a black whether he thinks you ought to change at Kan- sas City. Don't be satisfled with this. | In the course of {through the entire train from time to | | time, and say to people casually, “Oh, {can you tell me if I change at Kansas City?" Ask the conductor about it a few more times in the evening: a repe- tition of the question will insure pleas- ant relations with him. Before falling asleep watch for his passage and ask him through the curtains of your berth, “Oh, by the way, did you say I changed at Kan- sas City?" If he refuses to stop, hook him by the neck with your walking-stick and draw him gently to your bedside. In the morning when the train stops and a man calls, “Kansas City! All change! approach the conductor again and |say, “Is this Kansas City?’ Don't be discouraged at his answer. Pick yourself up and go to the other end of the car and say to the brakeman, “Do you know, sir, if this is Kansas |ty Don't be too easily convinced. “SLEEP CROSSWISE, WITH THE HEAD HANGING OVER INTO THE AISLE” The evening | the evening pass | Remember that both brakeman and conductor may be In collusion to de- ceive you. Look around, therefore, for the name of the station on the signboard. Having found it alight and ask the first man you see if this is Kansas City. He will answer, 'Why, where in blank are your blank eyes? Can't you see it there, plain as blank?’ When you hear language of this sort. ask no more. You are now in Kansas and this is Kansas City. | 3. I have observed that it is now | the practice of the conductors to stick | bits of paper in the hats of the pas- |sengers. They do this, T believe, to | mark which ones they like best. The device is pretty and adds much to the scenic appearance of the car. | But T notice with pain that the sys- |tem is fraught with much trouble the conductors. The task of | crushing two or three passengers to- |gther. in order to reach over them ‘lnd stick a ticket into the chinks of | silk skull cap is embarrassing for |a conductor of refined feelings. It [would be simpler if the conductor | should carry a small hammer and a packet of shingle nails and nail the | paid-up passenger to the back of the seat, | * x x % | for Or, better still, let the conductor carry & small pot of paint and a brush, and mark the passengers in such a way that he cannot easily mistake them. In the case of bald- headed passengers, the hats might be | politely removed and red crosses | painted on the craniums. This will indicate that they are bald. Through passengers might be distinguished by & complete coat of paint. In the hands of & man of taste much might Dbe effected by a little grouping of painted passengers and the leisure time of the conductor agreeably occu- pled. 4. 1 have observed in traveling in the west that the irregularity of raflroad accidents is a fruitful caus of complaint. The frequent disap- pointment of the holders of accident policy tickets on western roads is leading to widespread protest. Cer- tainly the conditions of travel in the west are altering rapidly and acei- ldents can no longer be relied upon. This is deeply to be regretted, in 80 much as, apart from accidents, the {tickets may be said to be practically l valueless.

His | Artificial Lace. { \[ECHANISM and chemistry com- “VL bined have enablea certain in- clal lace that shows real attractive- ness. The process of manufacture is really very simple. There is The machine conaists in its essential parts of a receptacle containing a cupro-ammoniacal solution of cellu- lose, a metallic eylind~r upon which is engraved the negative of the de- sign and a coagulation vat. A rotary motion is imparted to the cylinder, over which flows the solu tion which, entering the ntarsticcs of the engraved pattern, fixes itself immediately in the coagulative lquid, cut of which emerges the texture ready to be dyed and dressed. Artificial lace is reported to present 2 beautiful appearance. It is homo- generous and unalterable; it will wear better and !s less combustible than ordinary lace. Water does not affect it. Any desired pattern can be ob- tained by engraving a new cylinder. It is hardiy necessury to add that this form of lace can be sold at moder- ately low prices. Novel Pumping Plant. I to sald that = California inventor has utilized the principle of the old river ferryboat in a plant for pump- ing water from a stream. The con- trivance consists of two parallel sweeps, fourteen feet in length, at- tached to & reciprocating beam firm- ]y anchored to the ground. The down-stream ends of the sweep3 con- nect with sixteen vertical paddles arranged in two parallel rows in a suitable framework. The paddies are pivoted and have an angular move- ment of about 45 degrees. The pres- pure of the current against the paddle swings the sweeps across the river, where the angle of the paddles is automatically reversed. Thus the sweeps move back and forth with the regularity of a pendulum. Attached to a pumping unit on shore, the ap- paratus delivers ejghty-six galions of water & minute ‘Sides dat, Wash | “T never heard of ducks! boss | HURRYIN". genlous Frenchmen to offer an artifi- | no | weaving involved in the production. ! \ boss deducks for meat an' meal an’| lasses; deducks de money which he | |'vanced Wash for de circus; an’ dat | "count book ain’t even forgot a nick- | el's wuth o' chewing gum.

I | | government wriggled out of paving | the price. Just that. It was done by the device of ap- pointing only very rich men to be American ambassador. This, you un- derstand, Is Parls, where the whole | world comes and gapes. Whitelaw Reid, as minister, paid | $13,000 a vear rent for the Gram- | mont Ppalace: and his annual ex- penses ran between $100,000 and $120,000—when money was worth more than now. Mr. Coolidge. his successor, did not stay long enough to rent anything, but entertained lavishly at the Hotel Continental. He cherished average Americans. Peace be to him! Ambassador Eustis was not rich. Both his administration and his per- sonal purse paid the difference. Thé, experiment was never repeated. | Ambassador Porter paid $12,000 a | | year for the Spitzer Palace,and spent | $70,000 a year living as a great am- | bassador. Ambassador McCormick | rented an imposing mansion in the Quai de Bllly, from a regent of the Bank of France Nobody knows| what the McCormicks spent. They | went in strong for cultivating the| aristrocratic world of Parls. | Ambassador White paid $12,000 a| year for the Ridgeway mansion, aft- | er putting $6,000 repairs on the prop- | erty. He lived as a truly great am- bassador; and {t must have cost him 370,000 & vear. Ambassador Bacon took over the same rent, and Ambas- sador Herrick followed sult. All thres were very rich men. Bacon, probably the wealthiest American ambassador in Paris of late vears. certainly spent up to $150,00, as maximum, to maintain the honor of the flag and the business interests of our land. Amba; dor Herrick (in his first term) had the Bacon pace to follow. It iz judged that he did it and has been quoted that he felt it 'of exchange. i will Ambassador Sharp spent $80.000 a vear (and in the war, at that!) and expressed himself similarly. - Am- bassador Wallace, very open-handed, spent $80.000—with the advantage His single reception of the Knights of Columbus cost $2 000! He rented the beautiful Radsi- mansion with its garden; and thers are those who put his annual gift to the United States at 375, 000. “What? How's that?’ you say. That's right. The American am- bassador's salary in Parls is $17,600 a year. He has always had to pay his house rent out of It, and other expenses. * x X ¥ OW you see how good it is that IN Congress has at last appropriat- e $300,000 to buy an American ambas- | sador's house in Paris. Because is it not clear? When, in course of time, It comes to be ade- quately furnished, average Ameri- cans of ability will dare accept the | post of ambassador to Paris. It h always been a cruel expense of our ambassador that furniture worth a real fortune must be ob- tained some way or other for the few years of the term of service. What President of the United States is expected to furnish the White House from cellar to garret out of his own pocket after inaugu- ration? . : What President of the United States is expected to antertain offi- clally out of his salary? Only a very rich American could afford to be President, under such conditions. - But we would deem it unheaithy to ask a rich American to pay the ex- penses of the presidential office. Then what about ambassadors? —_——— 1f you are doing good work. don’t worry; somebody will find it out.

Planting Pearls. A\IA‘\'Y attempts have been made to produce pearls.

They put little balls of nacre. weighing from forty to fifty grains ! between the shells of a particularly large species of oyster, known as the | Austrelian type. After about ten | months these pellets are covered with a beautiful layer of pearly matter and look exactly like real pearis. When these pearls come upon the | market, they will no doubt have a | ready sale. Some of the experiments made by the company came to nothing. and for |a curious reason.
