On one of the last days of February from twenty to forty thousand piljrriuiH assemble, each being provided wilh two or three earthen bottles containing water from the flanges and few copper coins. Tin! indiscriminate use of dried mushrooms in soups and stews on the continent has led to unfortunate results in many eases, especially, it would seem, in Ilerlin, where the police are stated to have issued a caution against their con ftiiKS ftnrl lint Water Can Are Clooal for Them on Hallway Journryi, The comment aroused by the case of an unfortunute English lady who froze to death in a Hrst-clatts railroad compartment on an English railway recently will not result, according to rail road experts, in the general introdue- ion of American cars in Great liritain.

lie prejudice of the Hritish public against the American style of cars is so mphatic that two of the resident agents of our car companies have recently returned permanently from Lon- on. The railroad experts acknowl edge the superiority of the Amer- car fullv, and it has been adopted everywhere by the continen- railroads. Hut in England the pubis obdurate. For two years a Pull man car has been attached to the regu- ar train between Edin burgh and Lon- 'iii. This is an eight hour trip and it i calculated to bring out the advan-lgcs of the American railroad car in lie fullest manner.

Yet English trailers invariably take the cramped com partments of the English carriages in train rather than the comfortable American cars. They sit up all night, wrapped in rugs and shawls, and keep partially warm by cans of hot water which are pushed into the cars every two hours during the night. They might for the same price have comfortable berth in a car that rolls on uxiirious springs, is beautifully upholstered, admirably warmed, lighted by electricity and in the hands of a skilled attendant who can serve breakfast or supper on board. Mr. Parnell spoke recently of the 'intolerable severity" of the journey between Dublin and London.

He was obliged to take a regular express train which did not make any stops between Chester and London, and as the weath- has been particularly severe over there this winter he complained that during the live-hour trip he shook like leaf, despite his numerous blankets and rugs. A well-lighted and thoroughly comfortable American car was attached to the regular mail trains of this route for a year, hut subsequently withdrawn. Nowadays the American cars are attacnea to tne ijiverpooi trains, but that is only because Ameri cans going to and from Atlantic steam ers absolutely insist upon them. It was prophesied that after the Colonel Ilaker scandal the English people would accept more modern ideas in cars, and the subsequent agitation over the question resulted in a general ventilation of the whole subject. Hut solitary women are till locked in close Iron-bound com partments with strange men at all hours of the night on the English railways.

A very prominent ltirmingham steel manufacturer, who came over here not long since to attend the Iron and Steel Men conference, had a long discussion with Mayor Hewitt on the subject at a banquet at Delmonico s. The English manufacturer said that the position of the Hritish public on this particular question would have to be ranked with the position which they had taken on the Diseased Wife's Sister bill and other measures which the accumulated wis dom of ages hud been unable to alter. The English are well in front in the general world of railroad improvements, and have accomplished wonderful things in railroad and bridge building. Hut in the question of ears they are absolutely in the hands of the public, and the public "will not alter its views. There can be nothing more preposterous than the idea of a woman freezing to death in one of the compartments of a car on one of the foremost railroads of Great Britain.

The guard had neglected to put a hot-water pan in her can; hence the tragedy. There are numerous and successful methods of heating cars, but none of them secures adoption in Her Majesty's kingdom. Atcertain stations along the route they have a big tank of hot water. Before a train is due this water is poured into cans and the cans nre piled on small four-wheeled trucks. When the train comes to stand-still guard rushes along and throws open every door from the beginning to the end of the train.

This lets in a blast of icy air una incidentally any rain or snow that may lie flying about. The passengers wrap their rugs and shawls more tightly about them und sit there and shiver. Then one guard pushes the truck along beside the train, while an other man pulls out the cold water tins and puts the freshly-tilled ones in their pluces. The. tins are slammed down in the middle of the floor and the door is closed.

Then the shivering passengers move up and place their feet on the tins of hot water and extract what comfort they can before the water turns cold again. N. Y. Sun. Good old Uncle Henry and four- year-old Tom, his nephew, were in con ference.

Asked how he put in his time the small boy began with breakfast, hurried over play-tiine to dinner, then through more piny to supper, and then paused in doubt. "Well, Tom, what comes after supper?" asked his uncle. The boy'B big eyes looked fixedly into space, but his lips never moved. "Snrely something comes after supper?" the elder repeated. "'-e-e-a," said Tom, with a reluctant effort.

"Well, what is it?" "I get whipped mostly." Pitts burgh Dispatch. Mrs. John M. Weigle, of Augusta, excitedly called th attention of her husband to a little animal which was sportiisg on her sitting-room hearth one night. Mr.

Weigle soon saw that it was a pretty flying squirrel. He tried to capture it, but it escaped from the room and was overhauled by the dogs. There was no possible way for the little fellow to get into the room except down the chimney in the face of a hot, burn ing coal fire The amount of gold coin now in circulation is larger than it was a year ago, while the increase in silver dollars is but yet the amount of gold in circulation is 8411, 000,000, against a treasury holding of but 236,000,000, while the silver in cir culation is but $075,000,000, against 600,000 in silver dollars in the treasury vaults.

Asno tnciins of propulsion were necessary, this description may lie correct.

The curfro, however, was unique nnd prohahly the larist nnd most valuable ever carried. The description of the ark, as (fiven In the Scriptures, makes- the vessel about 450 feet ih loiicth, seventy-five feet in breadth and forty-five feet in depth, proportions himilnr to those now in use to-day for preat vessels. Hut us the agnostic is not sure tliat this life-boat of the human race ever existed, and ns the materialist is sure, hhe never was built, let us take for example of hip; ancient vessels some other craft vouched for upon the authority of profane and not sacred writers. The Kffypbans, fond of things and mp; dimensions, made the bip; tonnage ves-aels of "ancient times, i'tolemy (Thi- lopator) would have- appreciated tho Oreat Kastern. Jle was fond of building bip; boats.

One of these is said to liuve been 4'20 feet 57 feet broad and 7'J feet deep from the highest point of the stern. This vessel had four rudders, or what some would call steerinp; oars, as they were not fastened, each 4.r feet Jonff. She carried 4,000 rowers, besides 3,000 marines, a laru body of servants under her decks, and stores and provisions. Her oars wore fifty-seven feet and the handles were weighted with lead. There were 2,000 rowers on a side, and it Is supposed that these were divided into five banks.

That this extraordinary vessel eer put to sea is doubted, lint that she was launched and used at times, if only for display, several historians arc ajfreed. Another "ship," the built for one of the 1'tolemies, is said to have been 1100 feet 40 feet broad and 60 feet rleep. This was a far more miurniflccut vessel than any previous one. An Alexandrian historian, Cat- lixenus, in doseribinu; her, speaks of her haviup; colonnades, marble stairs and gardens. Another ijreat vessel, historical by reason of its size, vvasone built by Iliero, Kinifof Syracuse.

Her dimensions are estimated to be from the descrip tion of her the number of her decks and houses. She is supposed to liavo been sheathed with lead, and accomplished at least one successful A full description of her would read somewhat like that of one of our Lone; Island sound or Hudson river RtenmbontN. She hud three entrances, the lowest leadino; to the hold, the second to the and the third appropriated to the soldiers. There were thirty rooms, each haviup; four conches, for the soldiers; there were fifteen couches in tin' sailors' supper-room, and there were three more cabins, each having three couches. Tho floors of all these rooms were laid in Btone mosaic work.

There was also a temple of cypress inlaid with ivory and dedicated to Venus. The mainmast was oomposcd of a single tree, ami the vessel carried four wooden and eitfht iron anchors. As a freight carrier she would rival the largest of our ocean tramps. It is recorded that one or two of the launches beloncrino; to her would carry about eighty tons. This vessel is said to have carried "sixty thousand measures of corn, ten thousand jam of Sicilian sjiilt fish, twenty thousand talents' weight of wool, and of other enrjro twenty thousand talents, all of which was in addition to the provision required for the crew." These are the notably biff vessels of ancient times, but the supposition is that as rulers whether King or people, were as emulous in those days us iu these, other big craft were also built.

From the foregoing description the thought Is suggested that tho tirst designers of our own river steamboats may have heard of the Egyptian and Syra-cusun vessels und taken a hint from thorn in building iloating palaces. Maritimo Kegister. Oueeua on the lee. The girl who can skate is the winter belle up in the Northern towns and among our Camilla cousins. If she can face the elements without snuffling or weeping, and keep her ears and nose a delicate pink, while her cheeks are fairly rosy with good heart's blood, she is the girl who is voted queen by the ice princes and men.

She has no lack of attention. It is so delightful to skim with her over the frozen surface of the lake that she is besieged with admirers, who vie with one another in getting her reaily for a skating race. One man is proud to buckle on the sharp, bright little skates. Another is pleased to hold her wrap. And near by wait half a dozen for the chance of escorting her to the ice.

No one rules as easily and decidedly as does the ice queen. Boston Herald. The criminal courts in Clntr. have condemned a Hreslau shoemaker to two months' imprisonment for 'insult of majesty," because he retained his seat at a public meeting while three cheers were given for the Emperor. The Judge who gave the sentence explained that the shoemaker might have escaped with a lighter peuulty had he not aggravated his original offense by "placing his thumb to his nose and wiggling hit four fingers" when reproached with disloyalty by bis friends in the meeting-.

A company of wealthy men has been formed to open in St. Petersburg a "living ethnological exhibition." Living specimens of the various races and tribes tliat populate the dominions of the Czar will be collected for show, togetner with samples of their dwellings and the appointment of their houses, their shrines of worship, their garments, the food they live on, the products of their pecul iar industries, and even their manners and habits of life, if possible. According to M.Kdouard Marbeau.in tholievue Francaise de 1' Kstrangeret ilosColoiiios.quotingfrom Prof. Leon Le Fort, the following is the rate of increase of population in several European countries: For every 1,000 inhabitants there are born in Hungary 43 children; ip Germany, in England, 35; in France, US. In I77H the number in France was WA.

At the present rateof increase, the population would be doubled in Saxony in 45 years; in England, in 52 years; in Prussia, in 54 years; in France, in 1U8 years. Some time ago a wagon load of building stones asdetained at Longwy, on the frontier, when the stones were found to be hollow, and the cavity adapted for the conveyance, of spirit cans. It appears that the stones had been specially prepared by a mason in Poiully-sar-boire. to the order of a French furniture dealer, and that they had cost more than 1,500 francs. Iiy their menus 5,000 francs was earned on each journey.

On their return to Germany the stones were tilled with wine. The furniture dealer has been arrested. A court in the staid old German town of Gothahas been called upon to decide a novel question. A gentleman while playing cards with a party of friends in a beer hall was assaulted by a pretty waiter girl with malice aforethought and with a smacking kiss upon his manly cheek. The matter was at tirst treated as a joke, but turned out to be a rather serious nlTuir for the kissee, when his wife heard about it.

His irate spouse would not believe that the kiss was an unprovoked atl'air. so far as her liege lord was concerned, and in order to vindicate himself has brought suit against the girl for damages, on the ground that the kiss has injured his reputation for morality. A CHINESE VIEW OF US. How the Celestials Keg-nrd the Manncra and Habits of the Kiirbarlans. "Your superior skill in the mathematical and mechanical arts we are ready to acknowledge," a learned Chinese once said to me, "but you must concede to us the palm of philosophy and letters." This estimate is the prevailing one among educated Chinese as they compare our civilization with their own.

It may be modified, and doubtless will be, by further acquaintance; but it shows that they are not imposed on by the glitter of wealth or the noise of machinery. The material progress on which we vaunt ourselves weighs light in their scales when poised against moral principles and esthetic culture. A letter of Mr. Yungwing, the well-known scholar and diplomate, has fallen into my hands, of which the fol lowing is an extract. Certain zealous Americans had the doubtful taste to in vite his assistance in a "convention for promoting tho general adoption of re publican government." He replies "In view of what the general govern ment has done for the past twenty years in the way of enacting obnoxious laws against the Chinese, and without any provocation Hinging insult after insult in the very teeth of the Chinese Government, I can not for the life of me see how republicanism is to be come universal, or how the touch of American lilierty is to enlighten the Eastern races when they are shut out from its light." I feel confident that this would meet with similar confirma tion on other points if we had access to the unpublished reports of the Chinese mission of inquiry.

High Commissioner Keying, who was Bent to Canton in 1843 to negotiate a treaty with the English, tried to be polite when he was placed at the table between two European ladies. The ladies, it is ueeiuess to say, were charmed by hii urbanity; but some years later, when on the capture of the city copies of his reports to the Emperor fell into the handsof tho English, they saw the other side of the picture. The report ran: "Your Majestv's serv ant accepted from policy an invitation to dine with the barbarian chief; but what was his astonishment to tind him self seated between two women! His first imoulsu was to regard the affair aa an affront, and to leuve the table; but. on the second thought, ho deemed it better to conceal his feelings and not to risk the rupture o( our negotiation.
