TlTfl rtttATTA DAILY Mfi. STODAT, JTJIr 12, 1003. 18 PATRONS OF SLEEPING CARS litnj Peopls Go to Bsd and to Bltp Wear ing Their Eyeglasses, SOME WEAR WIGS ONLY AT NIGHT lorr of tha Maa Who Keg His aa Trmmpet la Working Order laer I'tfin of ta A Perfect F iVN-k',.: Means Perfect Health A Fullman car porter la authority for tbe 'Statement that many people sleep with their glasses on. "They are people who appear to be In their right minds, too," he said. "When I first made the acquaintance of t...ir tribe I thought they were crazy, but 1 have found out better since. The firm fellow I ever saw bunk up thus ac coutred was- a politician who traveled over my road frequently stirring up the voters In the western part of the state. The funny thing about him was that he didn't really need his glasses any more than 1 did. He seldom wore them In the day time, and generally read the papers and made notes for Ms speeches with his glasses dangling from his buttonhole three feet away from his eyes. But the minute he got ready for sleep, they became Indespensable. It bowled me dean over when I bumped Into his curtains one night and found him sleeping with the things on. I did not know It wss his custom to wear them. I thought he had become so tired out with speech making and handshaking and baby-klss-Ing that he had temporarily lost his mind and gone to bed with them en by mistake. I was afraid to leave him so, for it seemed a dead certainty that If he should roll over In the night he would smash the things to atoms and perhaps put his eyes out. 80 I took the glanses off myself. I did It as gently as a summer breese, but at the first touch the old gentleman was wide awake. " 'What are you up to?' he asked. ' 'Taking oft your glasses, sir,' said I. You went to bed with thom on.' " 'Of course I did,' said be. 'I always do. I couldn't sleep without them. Qlvs em here.' "Since then I have seen lots of other folks who were slaves to the eye glass habit. The politician wore a plain, cheap pair of reading glasses that wouldn't have been much loss If they had been broken unless tho pieces had happened to Injure his eyes, but I have seen other travelers with specially prepared glasses. They are provided with hooks and olasps and other appliances to hold them In place, and the eyeglass crank who goes to sleep with a pair of them on can stand all the Jolting the roughest road In the United States can give him without their being dis lodged. However, the people who take to eyeglasses Instead of morphine tablets as opiates have the knack of holding their heads at a safe angle even In sleep, and I have seen few accidents happen to the glasses." False Teeth Removed. False teeth, although apparently con taining fewer potentialities of danger, are, according to the same authority, treated with more respect by their ownera Travelers who depend upon the dentist for their grinders, display a good deal of cau tion about creeping Into a berth with their teeth In their mouths, end they tuck them under the pillow and in valises, and even hand them over to the porter for safe keeping, rather than take chances on swallowing them In the night. Wigs are another thing about which sleepers have peculiar notions. Very few people like to sleep In a wig on account of the difficulty In combing It properly the next morning, but the porter tells the gtory of one man who had the wig habit developed to an extraordinary degree. Us, too, was a frequent traveler over my lino," said the porter. "I had had many a nioe little chat with him and thought him one of the most sensible fel lows I over knew, lie was quite bald from his forehead back past the crown of his he A and we often Joked about It being excess of bruins that had pushed his hair out. But after I found out about that wig business I wanted to take back everything I had said about his brilliant mind. I found It out by accident "One evening I had occasion to look Into the old gentleman's berth after he was made up for the night To my utter amassment I saw him togged out In wig that spread over the pillow like a monstrous mop of auburn curls. " 'Excuse me,' said I. "Have I made mistake? I thought this waa Mr. M 'a berth.' "The old fellow laughed. 'Sh-sh-eh.' he aid. This Is me, all right Don't say any thing about it It Is a fad of mine. All my life long I have wished for a fine head of eurly, auburn hair. Nature denied me that boon. She gave me nothing but sparse black locks to start' with. Now she has seen fit to take even those away, and I have concluded that since she played me uch a scurvy trick I am Justified In getting back at her by wearing any old kind of hair I please. Hence this red wig. On ac count of the Inevitable tinchirl table re marks of my frien'l I couldn't blossom out in a brand new suit of hair In the day time, but I have made a practice of wearln r It at night and It gives me the greatea comfort Imaginable.' "And that men was universally rated a mart fellow, ton. ThU Has leed Ear Trimptt. "People have lots of other queer habits that us fellows who travel In Pullmans regularly find out about I remember well one old chap with an ear trumpet Every night when he turned in he arranged the trumpet with the tube to hi ear ami fastened It some wry so It coulin't budge X got to know the man pretty well and one night I Jollied him about making prepara tions to hear Gabriel's horn If he shouM take a notion to blow It In the mildly ot the night The old fellow got quite serious. 'It Isn't that that I want to hear.' he said. 'I always fix the tumpet reidy fo use, so It won't be hard to flnj In can there la any trouble on the vad anl omt of you fellows find It necessary to call me.' "That man traveled over my line on an average of twloe a month for two year One night we ran Into a freight train. In the excitement I forgot all about him and his ear trumpet ant neriected ti cill him. . as I had promised, but I guesi he fo mil out about the accident, even If he couldn't hear very well. "Some folks have the hsMt of adjusting their clothing In a rr-"p.r fashion when they go to sleep. r to this day there are plenty of o' '-fvv' -.d people who turn In with ban's, -rt h ofs wo-ind around the head and neck aiit' l-a-vle and skirts about the shoulders, wH e the number of people who sleep with (Vvn cn is known only to a Pullman porter who sees the black and tan nr extended at various times during the nltht.

The' cars run east and west, and we can't very well make up a special berth for you run ning crossways.' " 'Very well,' said the woman, 'If you can't do a little thing like that to please mo, -1 won't go. You know It makes me deathly sick to lie with my head in any other direction. I could never stand that long trip turned round some other way, and you know It.' "The man swore and the girls cried. They set the whole machinery of the road In mo-1 tlon to try to get that woman a crosswise berth, but she was such a tall woman that thsy couldn't manage It unless she rod. with either her head or her feet sticklnc out of the window. 6 he was a prouo woman, and wouldn't agree to that, so the gave up their tickets and traveled else where over a north and south line, when she could lay her head In a healthful posi tion. "There are other cranks abroad, and the Pullman oars gather them all In Impar tially. There Is the man who cannot sleet without an alarm clock ticking under hie head, the fellow who Is kept awake al' night by the whirring of the car wheels, and the one who can be lulled to sleep onls by a roar and rattle that 1b loud enough tc split a pair of ordinary ears. Then ther-' Is the fellow who can never be fooled ot the time. He Is the greatest bore of all. His faculty for measuring time Is so acutely developed that he can wake any hour of the night, and, without looking nl his watch, sing out the time to the fraction of a minute. He Is the same kind of fellow who says when you make up his berth, '1 want to get up at 6 o'clock, sharp, tomor row morning, but you needn't bother to wake me. I can wake myself. All I will have to do will be to go to sleep thtnklnf about the hour, and I'll get up on the min ute.' I hate that fellow, and It Is all I can do to keep from telling him so. "A funny thing about all these habits Is that the people enslaved by them cannot sleep If there is the least deviation from custom, and if the man with his glasses or the one with his watch or his shawl or his wig should be deprived of his aid to drowsiness, he would wander about all night like a lost soul."-Philadelphia Ledger. PB1TTLU OK TUB YOUNGSTERS. Uncle Joe If you keep on. Harry, you'll soon know us much as the teacher. Harry liuhl I'd know as much now If I had the book before me all the time like she does. "Books that have helped me!" ohuckled Tommy, as he piled enou.u bound volumes of the Congi-esbional liocoiu on a chair to enable him to reach the shelf where his mothor kept the marmalade. "Mamma," queried little Fred, "how old will I be on my nxt birthday?" "You'll be 6 years old It you live, dear," replied his mother. "Yes, but suppose I don' live," continued the small Inquisitor, "how old will I be then?" "Now, Willie." said the teacher, "you may spell kitten." "K-l-l-t-t-e-e-n." he slowly spelled. No. no." exclaimed the leacher; "kitten hasn't got two l's." "Well, our has." replied the small ob server. The father of s-year-old Helen was de tained at home later than usual one morn' ln and waa surprised to see her eome down to her breakfast in her nightgown. Assuming an air of seventy, he said: "Don't jreu know, my daughter, that whan Moisten the biscuit slightly with cold water. Place small bits of butter on top. Put in buttered pan -in - a hot oven about three minutes. Remove to warm plate. Use as toast for scrambled or poached eggs. a young woman rises In the morning she should bathe and completely dress herself before leaving her room, or coming down to breakfast?" Looking at him very serenely, she re plied: "Tes, I know: but I am not that kind of a woman." "Mamma," asked llttlo Florence, the only sister of five older brothers, "when am I going to be a boy?" "Why, never, dear. You are mamma's little girl." "Ain't I ever going to be a boy!" "No dear; girls can't be boys." "Can't Ood make me a boy?" "No, God will never make you a boy." Florence walked away thoughtfully, and at night, when she said her prayer, she added tills petition: "If you can't make me a boy, then make me a billy-goat. A kind-hearted woman who was walking he other day through one of the streets In the vicinity of Falrmount park, Philadel phia, saw a little boy sitting on the curb stone, crying bitterly. Her heart was at once touched, and, Tolng up to the little fellow, she asked him the cause of his grief. Looking up through his tears, he explained that his mother had .sent him with some pennies to a near-by grocery store and that he had lost the money. "Well," said the woman, as she ut her hand on the boy's head, "shedding tears will not bring bark your fooner. What makes you cry that wayT" " 'Cause." answered the boy, as he looked -t the woman, perplexedly," Idon't know how to cry any other way." ABOtTT JfOTED PEOPLE. The Intermittent dlsousslon about the pro priety of the word "obey" In the bride's part of the marriage service reminds City Magistrate Crane of a story, relates the New York Times. When a certain couple were married the wife waa IS years old, and big and buxom. The husband was two years her senior, but slim to thinness, and not up to the average In height. Ten years passed and the couple got along ai well as many couples do, but the wife was hard to manage. With the flight of time she became larger, while her theoretical lord and maater added not an Inch to his stature nor an ounce to his' weight. One day he wanted her to do something and she refused, at first quietly, then vehem ently, and finally explosively. "I'll not da It," she declared, "and I'd like to see you make me." "But, Marls," expostulated the husband. "when you married me, didn't you promise to obey me?" "I did," she replied. Then, sislng up his diminutive proportions, she added: "But I expected you'd grow." Pat" Bheedy has somewhat unique v'ews on most topics, which quality leads his friends to consult him as to his opinions more often perhaps than the Intrinsic merit of those same opinions Justifies, relate i the New York World. An acquaintance recently decided to put up a joke on Bheedy by asking his views on a certain phrase In a New York newspaper. The renten-e In question had been badly "pled." The first line read something like this: "Psxqp ? I agparfy," and so on for three lines. "What do you think of that, Pat?" queried the joker, marking the paragraph and handing tt over to Bheedy amid the grins of halt a dosen bystanders. Bheedy read, or pretended to read, the sentence carefully. Then, handing It back, he ob served: "I'm a bit pussled to know whether It's tne name of a Klsheney martyr or just a nsw slang expression of Devery's." Former Governor Stanley of Kansas was onoe so pestersd by offlce-seekers that ha found It necessary publicly to make the statement that. In view of the exceedingly numerous applications for ofnoe he bad re palTsd through the mails, he should be un in the making; of Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit. The wheat is first thoroughly cleaned and all the light kernels are removed, then it is washed in sterilized water and thoroughly cooked, after which it is spun into thousands of little shreds, each shred containing thousands of little pores which make it light and porous without the use of yeast, baking powders or chem icals of any kind, and naturally short without the use of fats. The shreds are then cut into biscuit and twice cooked, making them deliciously crisp, which compels thorough mastication and insures perfect digestion. The above facts make Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit the most perfect food known to man. Order SHREDDED WHOLE WHEAT BISCUIT ot your grocer to-d.y.

Y. able to give any attendtlon to them, much less afford any hope of success to the va rious applicants. In the course of a few days after making the statement In question the governor re ceived the following note: "My Dear Governor: I understand that you have said that you were going to take a week oft to destroy the pile of letters asking for jobs. If everything else Is gone, then, my dear governor, I should like the Job of tearing up the letters." "When I was a boy," remarked T. E. Ryan of Waukesha to a Milwaukee Sentinel reporter, "I went Into the circuit court room In Madison, where George B. Smith and I. 8. Sloan, two of the greatest lawyers of their day, were trying a case as oppo nents. Mr. Sloan had a habit of punctur ing his address to the court with the ex pression, 'Your honor, I have an Idea.' The case had been dragging its weary length through the hours of a warm summer day, when Mr. Sloan, who was making what appeared to be an Interminable argument, said: " 'ifbur honor, I have an Idea' "Mr. Smith sprang to his feat, assumed a dignified position, and with all the solemnity Imaginable, said: " 'May It ploase the eourt, I move that a writ of habeas corpus be Issued by this oourt Immediately to take the learned gen tlemen's Idea out of solitary confinement.' "The judge smiled, the lawyers laughed, the spectators burst forth In a round of ap plause and Mr. Sloan waa effectively squelched." She waa an exaoting Philadelphia young woman, and before she would promise to marry him be had to answer a great many questions relating to his past life, relates the Publlo Ledger. He thought he had given her a very fair account of himself, but just when the wedding ceremony was about to take place he remembered an omission, and. fearing that shs might have cause for future reproach, he whispered In her ear: "Mary, there Is one thing I hsve not told you yet. I am a Universalis!. Does It mat ter, lover "No. I guess not, der." said the bride, serenely, '1 am a somnambulist" Shelby M. Cullom owes much of his power In Illinois to the many courtesies he extends to the people from that state who visit Washington, rein ten the Saturday Evening Post. Durlag the past session of congress he was showing a young man from Chicago through the capltol. They came to the statue of Jefferson. . 'This," said Mr. Cullom, "Is the statue of Jefferson." The Chicago man studied the statue care fully. Then he said: "rt's a bsd like ness. It don't look a bit like him." "Why." remonstrated Mr. Cullom gently. "you never aaw Jefferson, did you?" lour eye I didn't!" responded the Chi cago man Indignantly. "I saw him over In New York a few nights sgo In good old 'Rip Van Winkle.' " At the congress of physicians In New Orleans a story about Dr. Lorens went the rounds. Dr. Lorens, some years ago, was sum moned to the bedside of a Frenchman who had been wounded In a duel. "Come Immediately, and bring plenty of surgical appliances," said the summoner. "for you will find your patient in a serious situation." Accordingly the physician and hla assist ant loaded Into their carriage a. great quan tity of bandages and Iodoform gause and absorbent cotton, together with probes of every slxe and shape, anaesthetics, and splints. They were equipped to dress the wounds of a small army, and great, there fore, was their disgust, upon reaching the Frenchman's house, to find that nothing ailed hla but a mere sword scratch la the forearm. Dr. Lorens, with a smile, sent his as sistant for some warm water, and watted A Perfect Food means Perfect Health, bright eyes, a clear complexion, sweet breath, active brain ventilated with filtered and tem pered air, this Laboratory is the ver liable home of purity a place where contamU nation cannot occur. Only the most luxuriant kernels of the finest wheat are used for Its arrival to dress the tiny wound. The Frenchman, groaning fearfully, said to him: "Is my hurt serious, sir?" "Very serious. Indeed," replied the physi cian. "I'm afraid If my assistant doesn't hurry, It will heal of Itself before he gets back." James M. Beck, the attorney who came Into national prominence by his work In winning the Great Northern Securities suit, mads use of a humorous anecdote to Intro duce an address, at a recent college com mencement In Brooklyn. Unavoidable du ties had prevented him, Mr. Beck said, from making any but the most hurried preparations for the oocaslon, and so he would commend to the audience the motto of a good old woman he had heard of. Her pastor came to comfort this woman, who had suffered a sad bereavement. "Well, my good woman," the pastor re marked, "In your bitter trial I hope you have found some ray of comfort from the scriptures." "Indeed, I have, dominie," was the con fident though tearful reply. 'That's grand, sister," exclaimed the parson sympathetically, "but tell me what passage of the Word helped you most." "Grin and bear It." OCT OP THE ORDINARY. In Paris 2H.0OS families occupy trot ene room each. Twelve hntela In New York City have more than 800 telephones each. Of late years the game of billiards has been growing In popularity among Amer ican women, especially In the east. When the Mississippi river Is at flood one can drink fresh water from the gulf ten miles from the river's mouth. A quart of oysters contains about the same amount of nutrition as a quart ot milk, three-quarters of a pound of lean beef, two pounds of fresh cod, or a pound of bread. Ws are Informed, upon scientific author ity, that the percentage of black eyes Is larger among women than among men. being 20.? for the former and lt.l for the latter. The black eyes referred to. doubt lees, are those of eon genital pigmentation, and not the black eyes that are acquired In lator life through exterior causes. The cost of hauling freight per ton per mile on the London Northern railway, England's most important Hp, expressed In oents, Is tl.tt; on the Pennsylvania rallwv tb cost l 0.401 of e rent, and on the New York Central 0.416 of a cent. This Is true, although the wages of Eng lish trainmen are but half the American An eminent expert attributes the greater cost to the rigidity of the four-wheeled English freight wagons, which, he says, are "track murderers and power ab sorbers." One of the largest families In St. Louis, Mo. that of Arthur W. Gecker Is Joy ously celebrating the birth of a baby girl. This is the first time in 140 yesrs that a girl has been born in the family. The grandfather, J. Becker, had five hoys, and his father, Jacob Beeker, had four mala heirs. The father of Jacob Becker had no sisters snd no daughters, and none of his sons had any daughters. Rallvay officials differ In the degree of liberality In wnicn tney aenne me worn "family" when used on a pass. An Amer ican copied the instructions of the Paris-Lyons-Mediterranean railway hearing upon the subject as a lesson In liberality.

Probably the younpest minister In this country Is the Rev. Edward Hersey Brew ster, pastor of the Bethany Free Baptist church, at Whitman, Mass. He Is only 18 years of age. It Is said that the Temple church, Lon don, built by the Knights Templar, and consecrated In 1185 by Herodius, patriarch of Jmunalriii, tit the presence of King Henry II, Is to be restored. , The Woman's Board of Missions has re- ceived for the first seven months of ItsX' financial year $59,000, leaving Itll.OCO to bdf raised in the five remaining months to com-' plete the 120,000 Imperatively needed. The Rev. C. H. Jones of Oswego, N. Y., has created considerable adverse comment In his city by muklng a contract with a ocal billposter to advertise the clergy man's sermons on the fences of the mu nicipality. Dr. W. F. Warren, retiring president of Boston university, has been elected dean of the School of Theology, with one yenr's I'.-ave of absence with full salary. The trustees also granted him a aalary of ),600 per year for life. Hon. Kataoka Kenklchi of Toklo, Japan, president ef the lower house of the Jap anese Parliament, is a devout Christian man and holds meetings In his house, where tho principles of Christianity are explained. Bishop Tucker reports a wonderful serv ice held In the new cathedral at Mengo, Uganda, when S.ono people were gathered inside and outside its walls. One thousand and forty-nine communicants, It is said, partook of the sacrament of the Lord's supper at the time. Mayor Low of New York Is unable to ap prove of voting away public money for sur rounding a church with a park, and the preposition to have a city park surround ing Plymouth church, as a memorial to Henry Ward Readier, has been Anally re jected by theautho!'lties of the city. "Tho"BaptlstYea'r Book for 1SWS, Just out, shows an Increase of 37C churches and 24S ministers over last year. There Is an In crease of 61,859 church members over last year.

He Is a senlous foe of ritualism "Idolatrous worship," he calls It and has been taking a trip around the world by way of a rest. The general sentiment In the east is that ho got rather the better of Bishop Potter in their controversy, largely because the bishop wrote such an Intemperate letter.
