THE A ME RICA N.
ENGLISH RAILROAD CARS.
A merit-Am 14mm Arm tWkng Adort4 la
Their laMlnrtlot.
Aa much at twenty years so Pull
man car were Introduced Into Kng
land and have, been run on a few
train on one or two road ever since,
but they have never been popular, and
have been used tuatuly by Americana
and other foreigners. The English peo
ple prefer the single compartment, and
will pay much more to have one com
partment reserved for two or three
persons than for seats in a parlor car
with all its comforts of freedom of
movement and privileges of smoking
and reading rooms. The new corridor
car retains the seclusive feature of the
compartment, Pullman dining and
sleeping cars have also been tried, but
with indifferent success, so far as the
English travelers are concerned, fne
"wholesale herding together" is the
objection. One company had a number
of third-class cars built on the Ameri
can model, but even the third class pas
sengers wouldn't ride In them, and
they had to be reconstructed.
The corridor coaches differ slightly
in construction on different railways.
They are only used yet on the principal
through trains between the chief cities
of the kingdom, as between London and
Glasgow or Edinburgh, or on the south
ern routes for the continent The two
classes, first and third, are still re
tained, and are likely to remain. The
second class has been abolished in re
cent years. The new coaches look al
most exactly like ordinary American
cars from the outside. They average
sixty feet in length, run on two bogle
trucks, and are connected at the ends
by Testibuled platforms, but, instead of
being entirely open Inside, with a gang
way down the middle, they are divided
Into compartments, and a passageway
runs alongside one side of the car. All
the compartments open into this corri
dor, and thus communication Is ob
tained from each compartment through
the length of the train. Each first-class
compartment seats four persons, two on
a side, and each third-class compart
ment is made to seat six persons.
There are in each car one compartment
for smoking, one reserved for women
and children, a lavatory for men and
one for women. There is a small com
partment in the middle of some cars
intended for storing the hand baggage
of passengers. The compartments are
accessible from the exterior of the car
by single doors, as well as through the
corridor, which itself has doors along
its length to permit of speedy Ingress
and egress. The windows of the corri
dor are extra large and afford excellent
facilities for seeing the. scenery. Cars
of similar design are on use on some
continental railways, but the English
newspapers give full- credit to the
"American idea" of their cars. They
say that these compartment corridor
carriages give all the safety and con
venience of the American car, with
many added comforts and conveni
ences. All the cars of both classes are
handsomely finished and upholstered.
Cobra Catcher.
Although the cobra is one of the most
poisonous of snakes many of the na
tives ot India regard the catching of
the serpent as a kind of sport. Armed
With a bamboo cane about six feet lonff,
split to the first knot, or Joint, and with
a wedge inserted to keep the spilt sides
apart, like a fork, they net out for some
cobra-infested spot. When they have
succeeded in tracking a snake in its
hole they place some rice and milk near
the opening. By and by the snake
comes out after the bait, but before it
knows anything of its danger the man
brings down the cane and fastens the
animal's head to the ground between
the forks. A blow on the head kills the
creature at once. It is then taken home
and skinned, the skin being worth a
couple of shillings. The body is next
burled in the earth, where the ants
clean the skeleton in a very short time.
The hones are then threaded on wire in
their proper order and sold at a good
price as a curiosity.
Tarlatan Widow'! Kens Itureau.
It is the widow of a pressman who.
makes the best income out of Parisian
newspapers.
She passes the whole day gathering
news. About midnight she arrives at a
central cafe, and for a certain fee al
lows reporters and correspondents to
make extracts from her notes. She is
ever accurate and always up to date.
Perhaps the most modest and meekest
newspaper busybody is the reporter who
supplies the press with the program of
the music to be executed by the military
bands in the five selected public squares
or gardens during the season.
He is a retired policeman, says the
Torquay Times, aged -74, and he earns
at that calling $3 per month.
Itahies Horn With Teeth.
In olden times it was considered a
direful omen for a baby to be born with
teeth or even to "cut" them before the
proper time for their appearance. Of
late years the writer has noted several
cases in which babies showed up from
two to half a dozen teeth on the day of
their birth, and in one case, that of
Tillman Stewart's (Resacca, Col.) child,
born in June, 1891, there was a full
dozen of them in place. In May, 1889,
the wife of Gen. Baker, a restaurant
keeper at 16S Park avenue, Chicago,
gave birth to a six-pounder which had
six upper teeth and four lower ones. A.
D. James, the Australian buRh ranger,
says that in that country "It is consid
ered nothing unusual for children to
be born with teeth." and Chambers
says the same of several South African
tribes.

HAWK KILLED BY A ROOSTER.
Uly Battla, la Whir a taa Mill ri-
lw Hu IMorloaa.
James fVleinan la th trirl'tnr ft a
poultry farm In the Uinity of Peters
burg-. V. Va.. and he makes a ni ll
of raising game cock. ) a writer tn
the St. Ivouis Ulube-lH-mocrat. Yor sev
eral we-ka a hawk lias been living In
the neighborhood and the bird of prey
has txt-n getting his rations from Mr.
Coleman's chicken yard. Coleman had
watched for the hawk for several days,
but had been unable to get a wliot at
the marauder. A abort time ago the
idea occurred to Coleman to try the
valor of one of his Irifh grays againiit
the hnwk. To give the chicken a fair
chance he placed a pair of steel gaffs
four Inchea long on hia heels. The
chicken wag turned !we In the barn
yard alone, and the lusty crowing and
strutting walk proclaimed him ready to
meet all comers. The rooster had every
thing his own way until about 4 o'clock,
when Coleman, who was watching from
the barn, saw the chicken looking side
wise at the clouds. Ho suddenly turned
tall and ran for a protecting shed, but
Coleman had prepared for that and had
closed the hole through which the
chicken was accustomed to enter. Find
ing retreat cut off. the rooster turned
and stood ready to defend himself. In
another minute the hawk swooped In
sight, and. quicker than thought, was
upon the rooster. Hut the sprightly
Irish gray was too quick for him and
turned aside, barely In time to escape
the huge talons of the hawk. Then
one of the prettiest 'battles ever seen
began. The haw k was at a disadvan
tage on the ground. Its wings striking
every time It attempted to fly. The
rooster, on the other hand, seemed to
gain courage from his position, and In
an instant had planted one of Its gaffs
into the hawk's side. The hawk's wing
was not disabled, but the rooster had
evidently spurred him deep and he was
less aggressive for a moment, and while
collecting his thoughts, as It were, the
rooster gave him another. The hawk
used his bill, but could not reach his
antagonist nor do more damage than
to pull out a few feathers. Finally the
hawk, after fully five minutes' effort to
dispatch his antagonist, sat back on his
tail feathers and waited for the rooster
to attack him. He had not long to
wait, for the Irish gray Was fully
aroused by that time, and, flying clear
off the ground, rose to a point even
with the hawk's breast and planted
both heels at once into the big bird's
neck. This was followed .by another
similar move, which sent both gaffs
through the hawk's body, one of them
piercing the heart and killing the hawk
Instantly.
Baby In a Ten-lneh Well.
The 18-nionths-old child of JLSill Gee,
a farmer living near Tlgertown, had a
terrible experience on Tuesday even
ing, says a Paris (Tex.) special. A
ten-Inch bored well had just reached
a depth of twenty-nine feet, being near
the house, when the little one went out
alone to investigate. Somehow he
managed to fall in feet first and was
impaled upon the end of ' the boring
machinery, a part of which was yet in
the well. The frantic mother was a
witness to the horror and immediately
gave the alarm. The child could not
be gotten out of the hole, so the neigh
bors were all summoned and Bome
eighty of them went to work digging
a great square hole near the well.
This being completed to a depth on a
level with the child, a tunnel was made
froth the hole to the well and the child
rescued, after being in Its perilous con
dition for twenty-three hours. Its
plaintive cries, "Mamma! mamma,
come take me out!" were heartrending.
The child will recover.
Nothing Cruel In Hilg.
The Mailing Bench last week de
clined to find that It was an act of cruel
ty for a man to pick up a hound by the
tail and strike it fifteen or twenty blows
as hard as he could with a hunting
whip.
The individual charged with cruelty
in this form was the second whip of the
West Kent Foxhounds, and he was
charged Jointly with the huntsman, at
whose Instigation he had thrashed the
hound.
The case was brought into court by
the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, and there does not
seem to have been much dispute about
the facts, says London Truth, the de
fense being that the hound had strayed
from the pack, and that the punish
ment was a proper and legitimate
method of teaching the animal its business.
An Elevated Lake.
The lake whlcl lias the distinction
of being the mosi elevated body of
water in the world Is Green Lake, Colo
rado. Its surface is 10,252 feet above
the level of the sea, and its shores are
perpetually covered with snow. The
water of the lake is as clear as crystal,
and large sections of petrified trees are
distinctly visible at a depth of over 100
feet. In one portion of the lake a large
area of the bottom is still covered with
a standing petrified forest. The branch
es of these rock trees are of dazzling
whiteness, giving them the appearance
of having been cut from marble. The
maximum depth of the lake is 223 feet.
