The ' New Motor Carriages and Their Cost. Cheapness One of the Advantages of the Novel Conveyances—Received with ' Great Favor in This ‘ ’ - var-did p," Country. The practibility of-these carriages seems to be placed beyond doubt. Since 1892 theyhave been growing in favor in France, and the only Wonder is that we have not seen them over here before now. The future would appear to be- long to them, if all. be true, and we can hardly doubt thebona fides. They are as easily worked as a tricycle—prob- ably easier. A novice, as many witness, is able upon the first trial to drive'his carriage over 200 miles in 2 days of 10 hours apiece. Tourists have wan- dered over half a dozen departments in them, and the taste is spreading every day. Soon the enthusiasm will reach England, and then—well, it is difficult to say what will happen then. For among the great advantages of the petroleum carriage is its remarkable cheapness. The cost of a carriage is not much in the first instance. They are built, as we have said, with touching fidelity to old forms. There is the dog- cart, the wagonette, the phaeton, the “break” and the “mylord,” as our French friends have it. From a purely lay contemplation of these vehicles, we are not disposed to think that finality has been reached in regard to their shape. . When the first railway carriages were constructed, either out of loving con- servatism or from a desire not to of- fend, they were built upon the line of the stage coach and colored to match. In time they achieved their own inde- pendence and individuality. Messrs. Panhard and Levassor will probably find time and experience ripen their in- vention in this respect. At present a voiture a deux places cost £168; a voiture a quartre places forme dogcart costs £200; the phaeton, £212, and the “mylord” heads the price list at £240. These cannotbe reckoned ex- travagant prices. 'And when you have once purchased a voiture to your taste the saving seems amazing. , To begin with,'two horses can be dis- carded; and horses, we believe, are roughly estimated to cost £25.0r £30 a. year apiece to keep. A purchaser of a petroleum carriage reckons that it costs him from 1.50f. to 2f. a day. The manu- facturer’s reckoning is 40. per kilometer for a 2-seated carriage and 5c. for a Al-seated carriage; let us say, on an average, something between a half- penny and 3 farthings a mile. Compare this with the expenses of horses. Let us say a cab horse costs some £36, 'and is available for three years; that constitutes a yearly charge of £ 12. Add to this £25 for food and keeping, and we get atotal of £ 37. The initial outlay on the vehicle may be ig- nored, as we are also ignoring the initial cost of a voiture. A horse, year in and year out, would hardly do more than 15 miles a day. Out of these figures, which are, of course, rough, one may deduct something like twopence a mile as the cost of ‘a horse carriage. The advan- tage is in favor of the petroleum car- riage by 3 to 1.~——London Saturday Re- view. , SUPREME MOMENT IN A LAUNCH It Is When the Vessel First Gets Into the Water. That a launch is a matter of mathe- matics, as well as of great skill and la- bor, is shown by the fact that the man of science who has the matter in charge always makes a set of calculations show- ing the strain on the ship and its pre- cise condition at practically every foot of the journey down the ways. If a boat should get in the way, or if it should take an unusual length of time to knock out the keel-blocks, or if an 5' one of half a dozen things should cause serious delay, the scientific man knows just how long he can wait, and just how far the limit of safety extends. There is always one supreme moment in a launch, and it is at a time that es- capes the average spectator. It is when the vessel gets fairly well into the water. This is when an important factor known as the moment of buoyancy comes into play. If you can imagine a vessel slid- ing down an incline without any water into which to drop, you can see that the vessel would tip down suddenly at the end which has left the ways, and would rise at the end still on the incline. But- really, in successful launches, the stern of the vessel is gradually lifted up by the water, and this throws the weight forward on that part of the ship still resting on the ways. The force of the water is called the “moment of buoy- ancy,” and the natural tendency of the ship to drop to the bottom of the stream is called the “moment of weight.” Now the moment of buoyancy'must always be greater than the moment of weight; but it must not be very much greater, for if it were it would throw too much weight forward on the part of the ship still on the ways, and might break them down, or injure the plates 0r keel of the ship. When the great English battleship Ramillies was launched, this did really happen; and so great was the strain near the bow that parts of the cradle were actually pushed right into the bottom of the vessel. It is this dan~ ger of disaster that causes the scientific laurcher to make the most careful cal- culations as to the conditions surround- ing the ship at every foot of her jpurne y into the watch—Frank Matthews, in St. Nicholas. ' . ' —Borax is extensively used in pre- serving foods. Dr. Fere, of Paris, has tried it to cure epilepsy and finds that it is injurious to many persons. It causes loss of appetite, with burning pains in the stomach; favors skin diseases, es-' pecially eczema; produces baldness, and, above all, brings on kidney disease, converting slight disorders into' fatal cases. NO HURRY IN NORWAY. People Take Their Time There-and Won- der at Yankee Visitors. These Norwegians are a wonderfully patient people. They never h'urry'; why should they? ‘ There is always time enough. We breakfast at nine. Mon- sieur goes to business at ten or so, and returns to his dinner, like all the rest of the Scandinavian world, at half-past two. We reach coffee and cigarettes at about four, and then monsieur ' goes back to his ofiice, if he likes, for two or three hours. we sometimes see him again at supper at half-past eight, but usually there is a. game of whist or a geographical society lecture, or a con- cert, or a friend’s birthday fete (an oc- casion never overlooked by your true Norwegian), or some one has received a barrel of oysters, and would not, could not, dreanr of opening them without champagne and company — masculine company only. It seems to me that there are entirely too many purely male festivities here. In fact, the men say so themselves, and that theylwould really enjoy many of the occasmns much more if ladies were present. But “it is not the custom of the country” (a ' rock on which I am always foundering) to omit or to change in such matters. Monsieur only does as do all the other men of his age, which is elderly, and condition, which is solid. There is a.- curious feeling concerning America over here, in one way and another. Morgenbladet, the chief con- servative paper, an organ locally of the first importance, keeps a sort of horror chamber of Americana. The reason is, I Suppose, that in these very dark and treublous political times, when not only the union, but the monarchy itself, is threatened and tottering, the conserva- tive interest thinks it dangerous to allow any virtue to appear in a re- public, and especially in ours, the most flourishing, and therefore the most pernicious, example of that inven- tion of evil. bred. A DOG’S LESSON. He Was Taught to Be Respectful to Bears. Jack McCall, of Gray Eagle Bar, was out at the dog show and took a great deal of interest in the foxhounds, for up in the mountains of Placer Jack is known as a mighty deer hunter, says the San Francisco Call. Sanderson, whose dog Paddy took the first prize in the challenge class, was talking of his dog’s merits. “Foxhound‘s,” he said, “seldom know much more than to fol- low a scent, but Paddy is an exception. I can drop my knife while out hunting, and, after going on a mile or more, send him back for it and he will bring it to me.” “You ought to see my dog Quartz,” said McCall. “Thoroughbred?” asked Sanderson. “Oh, yes, yes, he’s a thoroughbred. One of the smartest dogs you ever saw. Fine deer dog, too. He’s a half hound and half Scotch terrier.” “I thought you said he was a thor- oughbred,” said Judge W. P. Lawlor, who is the owner of a prize Winner. “Well, if you saw him after deer you would say he was a thoroughbred,” re- plied Jack, who has not attended many dog shows. “One day I was out pros- pccting and had no gun with me, and we, Quartz and I, came upon a black bear sitting up on his haunches. Quartz had never seen a bear before, but had often had fun with the wild hogs that you may see sometimes in the moun- tains, and he supposed he had a hog to deal with and rushed up to the bear and made a grab for him. “The bear just reached out with one paw, and, taking Quartz on the side of the head, loosened one ear and sent Mr. Quartz rolling down hill. You should have seen the intelligent look of inquiry on that dog's face when I came up to him. It asked as plainly as could be: ‘What kind of a hog was that, any- Way?’ ” THE USEFUL BICYCLE. An Occasion on Which It Replaced Turp- ' ' in’s Bonnie Black Bess. In these days when so many means of earning a livelihood are closed, save to the working classes, it is interesting to hear of the revival of so old a pro- fession as that of the road. This be- ing the age of machinery, says the Pall Mall Gazette, one need not be sur- prised to learn that the bicycle has been substituted for the Bonnie Black Besses of a. century ago. The original formula: “Your money or your life,” is, however, maintained intact, and the old York road is once again the scene of the highwayman’s operations. The pistol, too, is still the proper weapon, and in other respects the traditions of the craft are carefully preserved. “The Doncaster police are communi- cated with, but have not made any arrests,” is a sentence that reminds one of the days when watchmen were over turned in their boxes. Throughout the account is picturesque- The cyclist- cuthroats’ bicycles were “on the road- side,” while their riders disputed the passage of Mr. Lovely. The latter shook up his gallant “safety” (hence- forth a. misleading title), and at- tempted to run the gauntlet, but a bullet took him in the back of the thigh. He, however, escaped to “his native city”‘of York, preserving his purse virgin. ' e. » The “Born-Tired” Man. The fellow who was born very tired grew more and more weary as he went through the haps and mishaps of child- hood, the adolescence of youth and the early period of manhood. At middle age he was the tiredest- man then liv- ing. At fifty he was so utterly worn out with the simple process of existing that it occurred to him to calculate how many.breaths he must draw if he went on living for twenty years more, and, being a ”man in fair preservation, there was a good prospect of his reach- ing the allotted threescore' and ten. _'years of average“; mankind. Well, the tired citizen figured it out on the basis of eighteen breaths a minute, 1,080 to the hour, $35,920 to the day, 9,462,280 for a ,, . .year and 189,342,800 for twenty years. The figures appalled him, arid _ he died in disgust and discouragement. K... I“ AUTHORS AND MARRIAGE. ~ The ,7 Single State, It Is Said, is the Best for Literary Men. . ‘ ' married men with the opportunities of the bachelor we see that the latter has Well-nigh boundless possibilities for scores of invitations which will never reach his married friends, and he is generally sought after in society until he is almost three score and ten. Even married women are more interested in him, Whether they have a candidate for his hand or not. They talk with him on a wider range of subjects, in which they know he is surer to be interested than those whose chief thoughts are wrapped up in their families. He may have no more invitations to the most notable gatherings than famous married men, but it is in the less pretentious places that most is learned of human life, and he can call where husbands cannot, and so easily study types denied to them. The world lies open in all directions to him. He is not tethered to a stake. He wishes to study the society of a certain city, to write a novel with a local. flavor, and he removes there at his own sweet will. He stays abroad as long as he likes and if he wishes to study the lower classes there he can live in lodgings among wife. ‘ » When we come to investigate the lives of the greatest authors, we shall find that the majority either did not marry, or they were unhappily mated, and hence thrown on the world for con- solation and enlargement of knowl- edge, or they laid the foundations for greatness before marriage. Among those we may mention in the class of unmarried authors are Alexan- der Pope, Thomas Gray, Oliver Gold- smith, Edward Gibbon, Charles Lamb, Lord Macaulay, Washington Irving, Wilkie Collins, Charles Reade. We ought also to add to this list the giant satirist, Dean Swift, for he never lived with his wife, and Lord Byron, who had only aboutayear’s experience with married life. ' ' We find some great names among the list of the unhappily married. The most enthusiastic advocates of matri- mony could scarcely have the assur- ance to say that it aided or ‘was any- thing else but a clog, to Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens or Thackeray.— Mid-Continent. - H7E MISSED THE FIRE. The Child Did Not Understand Why He . Did Not Awaken. About the coffin in which rested the body of the fireman sat a silent group of mourners. No one had spoken and the widow was resting her head on her father’s shoulder, when the door opened. ‘ ' A little child, the four -year- old daughter of the dead man, ran cheerily in. She had on her flowing white night-dress. She climbed a chair and looked at her father lying pallid and still. . “What’s the matter with papa?” she cried. , .. ' “Sh-h-h!” they said, softly. ,_ asleep, darling.” “Why does he lie in that ugly old box?” ' “He can sleep better there, little one. Don’t disturb him. Now go back to /bed, like a good little girl.” The child moved away slowly. “Good-night, papa,” she said, in a low voice, and soon was tucked away again. ~ The silence of the night was sudden- ly startled by the harsh clangor of the gong in the firehouse just a few doors away as it sounded the alarm. The thrilling call was ringing the second time when the fireman’s daugh- ter flew into the room again. Again she climbed upon the chair, and shook her father’s body by the shoulder. “Wake up, . quick, papa!” she said. “There’s a fire.” . Still he did not move nor open hi eyes. The strange looks of those about the bier frightened her. , “Oh, papa, do wake up. Can’t you “He is - hear the bell? You’ll miss the fire.” The baby looked around in wonder, Then she tried her parting shot, which she was sure would bring her father quickly to his feet. , ’ “You’ll miss the fire,” she exclaimed. “Then you’ll be fined.” Even then he did not move. Puz- zled and worried, the child turned around. ~ = “Papa will not go to the fire to- night,” said her mother, in a tear- strained voicc. Then the widowed mother burst into tears. Repeating that she couldn’t understand, the child was quietly carried back to bed, to cry herself asleep again—Philadelphia Call, ;‘ The Value'ot Rank. _,,_I The extreme cheapness of military titles, a few years after the war, is well' illustrated by a story that was told at a recent campfire. The narrator said that in the year 1870 he was traveling through a certain populous country dis- trict, and stopped to converse with a farmer who had a considerable number cf men at work in his hay fields. .“Most of these men are old soldiers,” said the farmer. “Indeed! Are any of them officers?” “Two of ’em. One of ’em there was a private, aud‘that fellow beyond was a corporal, but the man beyond him was a major, and that man away over in the corner was a colonel..” . “Indeed! Are they good men?” “Well,” Said the farmer, “that pri- vate‘s a first-class man, and the cor- poral’s pretty good, too.” “But how about the major and the colonel?” _ ‘ . - “The major’s so-so,” said the farmer. “But the colonel?” ,_ ~ “Well,” answered the farmer, “I ain’t a-going to say a word against a man who was a colonel in the war, but I’ve made up my mind to one thing—I ain’ta-going to hire, any brigadier gen- eralsl”—Yguth’s Companion. , .
