The Congres’siona‘l Limited of’the‘ Pen nsylvania'Railroad running between New York and Washington has just been .equipped with entirely new; ears of regal appointments. _. " . . I In external-[appearance the train closely resembles the new Pennsylvania Limited—~red name board, cream be- tween the windows, and dark green below, This coloring is further en- riched by elaborate decorations in gold leaf. The interior of the train is a veri: table palace. The wood work-through- out is vermilion, ornamented with delicate inlaid marquetry in Persian designs. Each car is furnished in harmonic colors. The dining car is a new departure and a unique creation. The tables are placed. directly opposite the windows, which are unusually Wide, instead of between them; and instead of the usual fixed seats this car is equipped with mahogany chairs. The tables on one side of the car are somewhat longer than ordinary, while those on the other side are shorter, accommodating only t we persons. In consequence there is much more room on all sides than form- erly. ' The most noticeable new feature in the parlor cars is the ladies’ dressing room. This is a rounded compartment five and one-half by six feet, tastefully furnished and Ifinished. On one side stands a beautiful dresser with a large plate-glass mirror flanked on each side bya plush wall or corner seat. Be- sides these, the room contains a metal washstand and several small closets and racks. Every lady traveler will appreciate this latest effort of the Pennsylvania Railroadjacompany to provide for her comfort.

', 'Said That More Than Half of the Vessels L Are Unfit for Fighting. Washington, June 1.—The frequent reports from Spain, through other countries, to the effect that a formida- blefleet is preparing at Cadiz to sail fc-r'the West Indies in aid ofAdmiral Cervera. causes little apprehension here. Naval officers, through private "means of communication, have pretty' well satisfied themselves that the Cadiz fleet is a paper fleet. In other words, its offensive power is altogether illu- sionafy. Mére than half the veg§ql§ whose name QM?“ so frequently‘m the préss d15paItEhes as'yfo'r'midable war craft, are of antiquated type and in a state of disorder. The old Numancia is an example. She is rated as a bat- tleship of the first class. In herday she was a. battleship, but she has not a turret nor a. sponson, and would be little more ‘Ithan sport for a modern ironclad. In addition to being antiquat- ed, most of these vessels are broken down in engines and boilers. There are some vessels, although a very few,” at Cadiz, of modern type, but they are not numerous or powerful enough to give our navy. any serious concern. or course it is not to be understood from this that our naval officers are neglecting to take precautions against surprise at Santiago de Cuba. They havethrown scouts well out to the eastward of Cuba, so Ithat they may receive quick notice if any of Ithe Cadiz fleet was feelish enough to have start- ed a. day or two ago for the West In- dies, as -is now reported from Europe.

Each Little One Needs Careful and Earn- ' est Study. ” The unformed characters of children are so different, that in a. family, of brothers and sisters no two are alike, and each little one needs careful and earnest study. This is the more im- portant if we remember what a wise man once said:-—“Give me a child till it is six years old, and then it does not matter who comes after me.” It is in- deed a fact that the salient points or the character take root during that ear- ly period of life and a little one of six who is hard-hearted, or untruthful, or spiteful, is exceedingly difficult to re-' form. - A wise mother must discriminate ju- diciously between natural juvenile fail- ings and real naughtiness. There are so many acts and words which must not pass by unchecked, and yet do not deserve a. censure or too much stress Set upon them, and other offences which must never be overlooked. .All healthy, strong, vivacious chil- restless, wilful, and mis- chievous in a. greater or less degree. The boy of three years old, full of spirits, and the joie de vivre, often pitches his toys about in a. reckless fashion very unsafe for the other deni— zens of the nursery. This, of course, must be stopped. At the same time, there is no naughtiness in the motive, and it need not call forth a punish- ment, unless the youngster has re- : peated the misdemeanor immediately after being cautioned. ' Very imaginative children, on the other hand, will circumstantially nar- rate incldents which they declare they have seen, or as having happened to themselves, and it is not easy to make them grasp the fact that this is. a. falsehood. The best way is to take for granted that it is a. fiction, and say, “Yes, dear, that is a. nice little story you have made up. Now, shall mother read one, or can you make her up another?” In this way the child realizes that one may relate things not true, if they are honestly labelled as such. Always avoid arousing the violence of a really passionate child. Remem« berthat nine times out of ten it is the disposition of you, your husband, or some relative that has descended upon the little one, who is really more to be pitied than blamed. ‘After a certain age one can reason with a child in its quiet moments, and explain the danger and pain of these headstrong out— bursts, and assist it to learn the hard lesson of self-control; but a. tiny mite is too young for this, and, if possible, without giving way weakly, by a lit- tle tact and diverting the child’s mind, the exhausting torrent 0: passfimr" should be averted. When very juvenile youngsters hold way“ to bring them} round is to“ rub a._ wet sponge or flannel on the. face; the unexpected shock speedily produces the desired'eifect. At the same time, this holding of the breath is hardly ever attended with danger, though it ap-. pears most appallng to anyone unac- customed to children. The gredt secret bf management lies, however,. after all, in discipline. Have as. few rules andpregulations as you possibly can, but have those kept to the letter. ' Don’t excuse any deviation therefrom, but insist with quiet firm- ness on their fulfilment. The child dis- ciplined to implicit obedience has learnt the hardest and most important lesson of all. - TO TEACH FOOTBALLERS TO TACKLE A Unique Method'tnvented by One of Our Big Teams. Tackling is the most difficult part of football. A low tackle may be danger- ous to the tackler, and a tackle too high may enable a man to escape the tackler’s grasp. The surest tackle is about the waist. ' One of our big football clubs has hit on a new idea. A canvas bag about the size of a man is swung from an up- right bar, and midway about the bag is what looks like a life-preserver. The , bag-is swung, and men are given les- sons in tackling it below the “life-pre-- server.” It is said to be an excellent machine to teachmen how to tackle. The method of using the novel con- trivance is as follows: The men are lined up about ten yards away from this supposed opponent, and each takes. his turn at tackling it. That seems simple enough; but just as the playerI makes his headlong dive for the fig; ure, one of the attendants, by pulling a rope, jerks the figure to the side. Un- less the player is remarkably quick} he is liable to tackle thin air, and inf about half a. scond after lands on thel earth with a. thud, while the crowd ap-' plaud and laugh. The device is, a prac- tical one, however, and the trainers are unanimous in their approval of it. ' coasting steamer Kameruka, ..;..-. TITLE Bv DIGESTION ’ A New Zealand Native Cuetoxn In Regard to Land Transform, ' , . A gentleman born in New Zealend tells some interesting stories aboul that country and the native customs The gentleman says that the title td all land is vested in the natives, ac« cording to the agreement made with ~Eng1and, and that when land “is to be transferred the determination of any question of. ownership comes before a court constituted for that purposiel On one occasion when a bean ing in a case was a young native informed court that his father owned the land, and, in consequence, it now be- longed to him. When some of the nar tives were asked if he spoke the truth, they replied that he did. At this point an old native, who was sitting in the rear of the court room, arose to his feet, and, throwing aside his mantle stood forth, stark naked. and, coming forward, addressed the court. This mode of dress—or, rather, undress—is by no means uncommon when natives appeared before the land court. that the young man was mistaken in claiming the ownership of the lamb He himself held the title to the prop‘ crty. He said years ago he went to war against the owner of the property in question, and that not only was the proprietor of the land killed, but every member of the family except the young ‘ man who had just claimed the land. “He was then a babe,” continued thé old man, “and I had seized him by one of his feet and was about to dash his brains out against a rock, when mil wife interceded on behalf of the boy, and begged that his life be spared, an that he be given to her.” ' He went on to say that he granted her request, and gave her the boy, who had ever since lived in his family. “Now he claims the land,” he added, “because his father owned it. But I fought his father and killed him. and all the members of his family. What is more, I ate all of his body that was edible, so that all that remained of his _ i' father passed in to me.” The old man continued that, under these circumstances, he thought he had proved a good title to the land. _ When the natives who had heard this statement were questioned, they said that what the old man had stated was true, and that, according to their customs, the title to the land in dues- tion had passed to him. The court so decided, and soconcluded, the gentle- man, there is in New Zealand, in addi-- tion to the other usual forms of gen» , ;ting title to realty, such as for money, consideration, for love and affection, etc., title - by digestion—Washington Star. , , : , The Pigs Saved Titty Liven.
