In tbe fifteenth century couches ap pear to have been used in proccsaious or other public ceremonies , moro as an j ornament than anything else , if we may , judge from the clumsy form of the vo- ' hiclo. The entrance of the Embassador Trovaei into Mantua in a carriage is noticed as early as tbe year 14S3 , and that of Frederick HI into Frankfort in a covered coach in the year 1475. It is a curious contrast to the rapidity with which new inventions are now adopted that nearly a century elapsed before the covered carriage was 'introduced into England. Stow , in hit ? Chronicle , in the year 1555 mentions the introduction - | troduction in tbeHe terms : "This year Walter Bipon made a coach for the Earlo of Rutland , which was the first coach ( saith he ) that ever was made in England. Since to wit , in anne 1564 ' the said Walter Ripen made the first ' hollow turning coach , with pillers and archer. , for her majestie , being then her ; servant. "Also , in anne 1584 , a chariot throne , with fouro pillers behind to bearo a canopie with a crowne imperiall on rho toppe , and before two lower pillers , whereon stood a lion and a dragon the supporters of the amies of England. " The sailors of tbe time of Good Queen Bess must have found it a difficult mat ter to obtain berths on a coach for their : cruise on shore. Even her majesty , j though she herself drove to St. Paul's cathedral to return thanks for the de livery of her kingdom from the Spanish armada , was accompanied by the privy council and her attendants , who rode on horseback. But by tbe end of the reign coaches and carriages became sud denly popular. Fireside Magazine. Sprees at a Church Festival. It is a custom of the country in Ger many to get drunk , at tbe consecration of a new church. This custom has been regarded as unlovely and uu-Cbristian by many influential Germans of the new school , most notably by Emperor William II , but still it remains unreformed - i formed , and tbe comic weeklies do not [ tire of depicting tbe scenes in and out 1 of the police court that follow tbe consecration - | secration sprees and fights. Sorno time 1 ago the festival of a new church was ' celebrated in Oberriugelbeim , in the | Rhine country. In anticipation of the usual trade in exhilarating liquors a saloon keeper who does business near ' the sacred edifice advertised thus in the t Rhinelantl Observer : i Jacob Muller herewith pledges himself for a ' subscription price of 3 marks (75 ( cents ) to ' servo every onu of bis guests with as much wino as bo can drink on tbe occasion of tbe cburcb consecration. | Inviting my friends and patrons to visit ' me in response to this request , I remain rc- spoctfully yours , Jacob Mullek. Within an hour after the newspaper containing this advertisement appeared , 89 citizens of little Oberriugelbeim . bought subscription tickets from Mul ler. At the current price of ordinary 1 loose wine iu the Rhine country each of the 39 and their colleagues in this speculation had to drink 16 large glassfuls - . fuls before he could begin to benefit by , the subscription tariff. New York Sun. My Sin. | Stand in the public thoroughfares gazing at anything real or imaginary , and the dozens who gather round you will multiply soon into hundreds , and , if you stick to it , perhaps thousands. A crowd as big as the street could hold encircled a sign painter the other day. \ They rallied in curious excitement and ( dispersed in disappointed disgust. j "My Sin , " in huge , flaming letters , ' was what the painter had already • printed. If ever a crowd was bent on anything , it was on the discovery of . what that sin was. They asked each other what it might be and hazarded [ guesses , while the man laid by his red < paint pot and brought forth green in- | stead. stead.What What wonld the next word be ? j The crowd grew so excited that they j called to the man , "What is it ? " "Tell > us , " "Goon , " "Hurry , " "Paint quick if you won't talk , " until it seemed ho might grow too bothered to print any thing. But he did. He printed out in small green letters , added to the gigantic "Sin" the sylla ble "gle , " and when the sign was com plete it read , "My single aim is to sell at nominal profit. " Pearson's Weekly. Phenomenal Rainfall In Australia. January and February , 1893 , will ! long be remembered in Australia as the I months of the most phenomenal rainfall - 1 fall ever known , not in Australia alone , j but in any country in the world since the dawn of history. The point of greatest - J est downpour was at Brisbane , which ' was very fortunate for science , as it is at that place where the government meteorological instruments are kept , j ' On the last day of January the rain gauge recorded 10 inches of rainfall. , The next day , Feb. 1 , it showed a fall of over 20 inches , and on tbe 2d a little , over 35 inches of water fell. All to gether 77 inches of water fell 'in four days. St. Louis Republic.

' The Italian immigrants who start from Genoa must travel 4,059 knots be fore reaching the Narrows at New York , j . - ' " 1' ' I ' l l L m n 1 in i ) THE MARATHON RACE. the Wild Excitement or the Greeks Whea Their Countrymen Won It. The Greeks are novices in the matt ir Df athletic sports and had not looked for much success for their own country. One event.only seemed likely to be theirs from its very iatu-c the long distance run from Marathon , a prize for which has * been newly founded by M. Michel Breal , a member of the French institute , in commemoration of that soldier of an tiquity * who ran all the way to Athens to tell his fellow citizens of the happy issue of the battle. The distauco from Marathon to Athens is 42 kilomoters. The road is rough and stony. The Greeks had trained for this run for a year past. Even in the remote districts of Tbessaly young peasants prepared to enter as contestants. In three cases it is said that the enthusiasm and the inex perience of tbeso young follows cost them their lives , so exaggerated were their preparatory efforts. As the great day approached women offered up pray ers and votive tapers in the churches that the victor might by a Greek. The wish was fulfilled. A young peas ant named Loucs from the village of Marousi was the winner in 2 hours and 55 minutes. . He reached the goal fresh and in fine form. He was followed by two other Greeks. The excellent Aus- tnilian sprinter Flack and the French man Lermusiaux , who had been in tbe lead the first 35 kilometers , had fallen out by the way. When Lones came into the stadion. the crowd , which number ed 60,000 persons , rose to its feet like one man , swayed by extraordinary ex citement. Tbe king of Servia. who wan present , will probably not forget the sight he saw that day. A flight of white pigeons was let loose , women waved fans and handkerchiefs , and some of the spectators v. ho were nearest to Loues k ft their seats .ind tried to reach him and carry him 111 triumph. He would have been suffocated if the crown prince and Prince George had not bodily led him away. A Ltd ? who stood next to me un fastened her watch , a gold one set with pearls , and sent it to himan ; innkeeper presented him with an order good for 365 free raeals , and a wealthy citizen had to bo dissuaded from signing a check for 10,000 francs , to his credit. Loues himself , however , when ho was told of this generous offer , refused it. The sense of honor , which is very strong inthe Greek peasant , thus saved the nonprofessional spirit from a very great danger. "The Olympic Games of 1896 , " by Baron Pierre do Coubertiu , in Century. Good Nature and Justice. Foreigners are frequently impressed with the extreme good nature of our people in trying circumstances and the patieuco with which they endure hard ships and discomforts which spring from thoughtlessness and injustice. Now , patie'ice and good nature are ex cellent qualities , and the field for their exercise is a wide one. The grumbling disposition , which fruitlessly complains of and magnifies each passing annoy ance , disquieting and irritating every one in the vicinity , is worthy of sincere reprobation. At the same time there are limits beyond which an easy good nature ceases to bo a virtue. Wo plume ourselves upon it and compare its sooth ing effects with the influence stirred up by an opposite course , to the entire ad vantage of the former. And in this wo are correct just as long as it does not pander to injustice. To smile indulgently at a wrong that calls for correction , to bear with equa nimity what onght never to bo berne at all , to submit patiently to evils that spring from unfairness and to influence others to do the same plainly tend to foster the continuance of wrongdoing and to rcako those engaged in it self satisfied and secure. Patient eudurauco , so estimable under certain circum stances , may under others bo an ac tual injury to society. From the resist ance to an injurious fashion or custom up to the correction of grave abuses , the earnest seeker after justice is a true philanthropist and demands the esteem and co-pperatiou of his fellow men. Philadelphia Ledger. Tobacco and Color Blindness. "Color blindness is on the increase , " said Dr. D. L. Bliss of New York. "The causes of this defect in vision that may be otherwise perfect are not all very well understood. It would seem that the use of tobacco had a good deal to do with it. 1 have examined a great many for color blindness , having on several occasions bean employed by railroad companies to do so , and in every in stance where the man examined was found to be color blind he was a user of tobacco. Women are seldom afflicted in this way , hence ic must bo caused by something that men do which women do not. What cases exist among women will bo found to be inherited from male j ancestors. I have never known a worn- 1 an to be color blind whose father was free from the defect. I am a smoker and , my perceptions of color are unusually ' good , so that it is not impossible that a man may use tobacco without such an effect , but I believe a large proportion of the cases are caused by tobacco. " • Washington Star. Time Occupied by Dreams. The time occupied by a dream is one of the marvels of sleep. In the work en titled "The Philosophy of Mystery" we read of a man who dreamed that he had snlisted as a soldier ; that he had joined bis regiment and traveled to a foreign country ; that he finally deserted on ac count of tbe harsh treatment he had re ceived at the hands of his superior offi cers ; that he had been apprehended and carried back to his regiment ; that upon arriving there he was tried by court martial , condemned to be shot and was , led out for execution. At this moment' the guns of the executioners exploded , ind the sound awoke the dreamer. It' was clear now that a loud noise in an ; adjoining room had both produced thai Iream and awakened tbe dreamer al most at the same moment . , arw j M wwiiAeJWi iasMryiitacv .fc Minmi1 vwiiK atSBwas V f I PLEASE ' LET US GO AND PLAY.

They were felt hats and coats , not unlike the sack coats worn by men , which , open in front , disclosed waistcoats. A turndown collar was around the throat of each , with small black neckties. They didn't wear trousers or even bloomers , but 'their skirts were close fitting , and every man in the elevator knew instinctively that tbey were coveting the coverings which they had for their limb-3. They wore their hair cut short. When they entered , the men simply stared at them. No one ventured to re move his hat in accordance with the time honored custom which provides that in that way men should show their deference to the members of tbe opposite sex. Perhaps they were too surprised at the apparition. Perhaps they thought that the women , being unusually strong minded , would be vexed instead of pleased at tbo mark of politeness to a woman. There are such women , it is said , although very few porsous have ever seen any of them. Whatever might have been passing through the men's minds in the few seconds wluch the journey from top to bottom required , they were awakened from their reveries when ono of the young women exclaimed in a loud voice : "Joan , why don't you take off your hat ? Don't yon see that we are iu the presence of gentlemen ? " That remark served to cause every man in the car to turn red and white by turns. Every man's hand went in stinctively to his hat , but all but one were quickly stopped. The exception removed his hat and was evidently em barrassed because ho had unconsciously taken the hint. But he took his revenge. In an ordi nary tone of voice ho remarked to an other man : I "It is so hard nowadays to tell men from women that 1 am not surprised at their mistake , nor at ours. " I Some scathing retort might have been made , but just then tbo elevator stop ped and every man rushed from the car whether it was his floor or not. Chicago Times-Herald. The Dreaded Germ. At the British association Dr. Kan- tback , who speaks with great authority on the subject , read a paper on "Bac- 1 teria In Food , " in which ho pointed out that one might swallow any amount of micro-organisms with food without any injury. Milk ordinarily contains about a million germs per cubio centimeter , in sandwiches they are too numerous to count , oysters teem with them , and ices from a fashionable confectioner's were found to contain from 10,000,000 to 14,000,000 , or considerably more than the much abused Italian street vender's wares. There is not the least doubt in the world that wo eat , drink and breathe any quantity of germs without suffering in the smallest de gree , day by day , unless the germ hap pen to be of a particular sort and to meet with a suitable soil. All the "scientific" fuss about the necessity of boiling this and sterilizing that in order to kill the germs is a piece of unscien tific babble founded upon a set of theo retic assumptions which take no account of actual everyday facts. Of course the bacteriologists will not admit their mis take without a struggle , and Dr. Kan- thack met with a good deal of criticism. Nevertheless ho is right , and one of these days every one will be saying the same thing. St. James Gazette. Archbishop of Canterbury. . The archbishop of Canterbury is re ferred to as "his grace , " and he writes himself archbishop , etc. , "divina prov- identia , " whereas other prelates use the phrase "divina permissione. " He is the first peer in tbe realm. At coronations he places the' crown on the head of the sovereign , and the king and queen are his domestic parishioners. The bishop of London is his provincial dean , the bishop of Winchester his subdean , the bishop of Lincoln his chancellor , and the bishop of Rochester his chaplain. A Carlyle Anecdote. A Scotch visitor to the Carlyles in Cheyne row was much struck with the Eoundproof room which the sage had contrived for himself in the attic , light ed from the top , and where no sight or sound from outside could penetrate. "My certes , this is fine , " cried the old friend , with unconscious sarcasm. "Here ye may write and study all the rest of your life , and no human being be one bit the wiser. " Household Words : , Louis XVHI of France was ironically styled by his subjects the Desired. He was forced upon them by tbo allied armies. Tbo name "barleycorn , " in long measure , arose from tbe use of thin grain as a measure of distance. i H - . ' Gemilno Bull iHk. , B TEST with a big B.
