PRESIDENTIAL TRAVELS.
. RAILROAD ARRANGEMENTS WHEN A
'CHIEF EXECUTIVE TRAVELS.
J *yji(coln tho Only President Ti ho Had a
gSa Private Car -Proposed Special Train
* l?r Pr- Idetu* - The Matter ft Pa>ius;
j 1 Fare - Arrtoi?tng Tim? Table.
I* is only in recent years that presi
3 ' hernial journeying has been made
; . spectacular. The early pres?dante
? could travel about without being
: mobbed. Jackson and Taylor walked
. oh'e streets of Washington and stopped
to chat with a friend like any other
; -citizen., aud wheu they traveled no
oue thought of standing and gazing at
i*theui,or of forcing himself upon them
for a handshake. Then the president
: ;j of the. United States could travei as
simply and unostentatiously ns he
; pleased. Now he goes in ft special
-traiu and the baud at every eross
. roads station plays "flail to the Chief"
j hwrioly.
I , There was only one president who
3 ."had a private car. That was Lin
coln, the man of all others who was
simple in his tastes. It was not a
? very line affair. Today it would IXQ?
. ' be used for second-class tra?ie. Ail
", other presidents, have traveled in pri
jl; vate cars offered for their use by rail
. road companies or sleeping-car com
: panics.
Just after the election of President
. McKinley some railroad men got to*
. gethor and planned a special car for
'.; thc president, which was to be finer
; than Queen Victoria's. It was to be
j built throughout of native products,
j and the blending of native woods iu
j its decoration, was to suggest every
.: part of the country. All ihe material
j-was to be contributed aud the labor
j was to be done in the railroad shops.
? This scheme was so attractive that
; presently it expanded into a plan for
j an entire traiu for the president's use,
I to be an appanage oE the executive
[?office,' not .Mr, McKinley's private
! property. The elaborated plan pro
i.vided for a baggage car to contain a
dynamo tor heatiug and lighting the
. other, cars, a sleeping coach for the
president's secretary and clerks, aud
[ a special car for tho president and his
:-guests. As planned, the ?resident's
?ar w.is to bo-69 feet (> inches long, or
. .15 1-2 feet longsv thau Queen Vic
toria's, while its width was to be 9
ioet 8 inches. At oue end was to be
j the kitchen, with quarters for cook
. and porter. A salon iu the ruidd'e of
.the car, two bedrooms, a bathroom
. and au observation room were also in
' the plans. Nothing has been doue
'.toward building this traiu and the
'projectseems to have fallen through.
. -Ko the president in his outings will
'UBO other persons' cars, as most of his
: predecessors have done.
Sleeping-car companies put at the
.disposal ox the president the finest
cars, and railroad officers tender the
ttae of their private conches, because
us they go about the country they are
? peripatetic advertisement for rail
Toad and sleeping-car companies, and
-?ither one would be very glad, if it
were necessary, to pay something for
the privilege of caraying the chief
magistrate. Only oue railroad man
disagrees with this proposition so far
as known. Ho was tho general pas
senger ngent of a line running east
from St. Louis when President Har
rison visited that city. The railroad
man who was managing the trips was
allied with the same interests ns the
general passenger'agent, though on a
different linc- He declined the invi
tation of another road to take the
president's train east through loyalty
to his own people.. Aud then the gen
eral passenger agent made him pay
the full first-class fare for hauling the
president's special. It was repaid
him later-and that is about as near
as a president of the United States
has come to paying fare in a long
time.
When President Cleveland made his
first trip west h* paid fare for him
self and all the members of his party.
The interstate commerce law had
just gone into effect and he was afraid
of being criticized for violating it.
But the five or six first-class tickets
which his private secretary bought
did not pay for the fine special train
that he used.
s Hauling the president's special is
au expensive undertaking. On most
roads it means side-tracking all other
lousiness for the time. One of the
big coal railroads once put every
freight car on side traeks at night
because the president was going over
the line. Another road side-tracked
hundreds of cars of grain and live
stock and left tho track clear between
the beginning and end of the presi
dent's journey. As an additional pre
caution a pilot eugiue is sent ahead
of the president's train to see that the
traok is safe.
, To a'range the schedules for a
presidential journey is no small un
dertaking. George W. Boyd has done
more of this than any other railroad
man, and he could arrange to take the
president safely around the world on
forty-eight hours' notice. When the
president wants to make a long jour
ney he usually calls' Mr. Boyd in for
consultation as an expert. Mr. Boyd
li ?ok s np the regular schedules of all
thc roads to be covered and calculates
tho running time of their trains. He
has to balance everything with great
nicety so as not to bring the presi
dent to a big city at 2 in the morning
or land him at a terminal without pro
vision for continuing the journey on
some other line. When he hasmapped
out the trips he telegraphs the offi
cials of all the railroads to ask if they
oan.piek tho president's traiu up at
this point at that time and take it
through to the other station at such
an hour. This schedule iucludes all
the important stops, with an allow
ance of five or ten minutes for each
daylight station on the route. Wheu
tile railroads agree to the schedule it
is finally delivered to the president.
Thus the president personally has
very little voice in the matter. He
must pass throiigh certaiu places en
route to his destination. Public sen
timent demands that he. stop for five
minutes here and half an hour there.
Between these stops the speed capa
city of the railroad must be considered,*
and the president seldom travels at
the highest rate for ''lear 'of accident.
At the end of the route the president
has^vto g?" Ihrongn a program of
speech-making and dining and sight
sceing'arranged for him by the local
comm itfee"
President Harrison and President
Cleveland always took newspaper cor
respondents with them on their jour
neys. Pr?sident McKinley so far has
refused to do so, and his secretaries
have made up a report of the inci
dents bf the trips to be given to the
press, with copies of the president's
speeches where the president's train
stops. The speeches are not prepared,
except for important occasions. The
president hus his own stenographer
take note of what he says in his im
proniptu'speeches and then carefully
revises the manuscript. All this busi
ness is'handled for him by his private
secretary, George B. Cortelyou, who
. always accompanies him.
The president always chooses the
members of his party. With the ?ix
ceptiou of the train crew, >_,very mau
or woman aboard is his guest. Ons
feature of the expense of the journey
the president usually pays for. It is
the provisioning of his car. It is no
small part of the cost of a trip, for in
much of the sparsely settle:! western
country through which President Mc
Kinley must Necessarily pass on his
next trip he -will breakfast and dine
'ou the traiu. It is a matter of pride
with the car cook to put an elaborato
meal before the president three times
a day, so when the car is stocked the
best of everything is taken aboardv -

PLEA FOR FRUIT JUICES.
Drink* That Are Wholesome ?s Well as
Palatable.
What shall we drink is a question
asked and answered by E. H. Chase
iu the magazine, "What to Eat." He
says:
What shall we drink ? Not coffee,
says the modern writer on health, for
it works on the nerves and aids neu
ralgia to hold its fearful carnival of
pain through all the overwrought sys
tem. Not tea, unless we waut oar
stomachs poisoned with taunic acid,
sud our sleeping hours turned iuto ft
torture of wakefulness, Nr?t Water,
for lo! it swarms with ten thousaud
living organisms that are there on
purpose to prey upon the unsuspect
ing imbiber of the unfiltered article.
Not milk, for where water contains
oue microbe milk contains an army,
and often they are of a more deadly
??.ature. Therefore we who read as
we run look about us for something
to drink and are yet athirst. <
Boiling water takes from it the spar
klo and leaves it insipid. Boiling
milk chauges both its taste aud its
action. Fruit juices, wheu such can
be obtained free from adulteration,
are not only agreeable to most people,
but are healthful as well. A home
preparation of fruit juices, in variety,
may bo had by every funiily willing.to
prepare them at a slight cost. They
should be securely sealed in jars,
wrapped iu brown paper to ex
clude the light, and labelled. In early
spring both oranges anti lemons are
plentiful. These may bo prepared as
follows:
ORANGE AND LEMON JUICE.
Eemove the rinds from a dozen
oranges, slice aud remove the seeds;
cover with writer aud boil fifteen min
ute^, or until tender; straiu through a
flanuel bag, and add a cup of sugar;
return to the kettle and boil until the
sugar is dissolved, stirring constautly;
seal boiling hot and staud the jar on
its head until cool.
Lemons ore prepared in the same
way, except that more water may be
added, and two sups of sugar to the
pint will uot be too much.
Strawberries?- raspberries, plums
aud blackberries follow in their
season, and should be pressed into
service for this purpose. Berries need
but little boiling, if stirred weil, aud
a cup of sugar to two quarts of juice
will be ample. Prunes, damsons aud
grapes must be well washed, and the
water in which they are to be boiled
should come up well over them. The'y
must boil until broken aud tender
throughout.
To prunes but little sugar should be
added, but to the damsons and grapes
at least two cups of sugar to two quarts
of juice. The bag must haug and
drain, and not be pressed, if one de
sires the juice clear. A basket of grapes,
which may be had for 10 cents, will
make several quarts of juice.
TO PRESERVE SOUR-APPLE JUICE.
Crabapples and sour apples of every
kind make a very pleasant and health
ful drink. These must be prepared
with care, well washed, the stems,
blossom ends and all specks and bruises
removed, and allowed to boil until all
flavor is extracted from them. If tho
parings are left on, the color will be
brighter. Too much water can hardly
be added at first, but when strained
the juice should be boiled until of
proper flavor for a beverage.
These fruit juices can later be made
into jellies or used to color gelatins,
if this is desired, and, used as effer
vescent drinks, they are far superior
to the "pure fruit" juices of commerce.
The call for grape juice for the hospi
tals the last year speaks for itself as
to the desirableness of Reaping this
beverage iu the house .for the sick,
even if the well go on driukiug adul
erations and microbes.
PILLSBURY'S CREAT FEAT.
Play* Blindfolded Six Chew? Cmnes, tiro
Checker (iamm and a Hand at Whist.
H. Nelson Pillsbury, the American
chess champion, recently gav,, an ex
traordinary display at the Metropoli
tan Chess club, London, of which the
lord chief justice is president.
He played blindfold agaiust six op
ponents at chess, a.aiu?t two at
draughts, aud at the same time took
a hand at whist. Seated at a table at
one end of the room he coolly mani
pulated the cards while promptly
calling his moves in reply to the
"teller," Mr. Mitchell,who aunouueed
the moves of his opponents ut chess,
and to James Hill, who performed a
similar office for the draughts players.
Play proceeded rapidly, for the
American is a quick thinker, aud kept
his opponents very much alive.
Onee he paused at oue of the
draughts games and said, "I guess I'll
make a few moves right along at this
board," and then dictated six moves
in rapid succession, which sacrificed a
piece, but left him with a winning
endiug.
After 80 miuutes' play, he scored
his first win at No. 5 chessboard, fol
fowed, 10 minutes later, by the re
signation of the draught player re
ferred to.
One of his chess oppoueuts next
gave up,aud the applause had scarcely
subsided wheu the second draughts
player had to own himself beaten.
After this it was a procession, and the
result was that Pillsbury won every
game of chess and draughts, notwith
standing the fact that all engaged in
the contests were strong players.
Of the whist, the first rubber went
against him, the score being 1 to 2;
the second rubber was not finished,
each winning a point. Play lasted
three hours aud a quarter.
A hearty vote of thanks was re
turned to Mr.Pillsbury for the unique
entertainment he had provided.
Por?ot Himself.
Absent-minded persons are not in
frequently met among the medical
profession, who of all men should al
ways have their wits about them.
It is related that a well-known doc
tor was once present in a publia place
when an accident occurred, and seeing
a wounded man, went about calling:
"A doctor! A doctor! Somebody go
and fetch a doctor!"
A friend who wni by his Ride ven
tured to inquire, "Well, what about
yourself?"
"Oh, dear," answered the doctor,
suddenly recalling the fact that he be
longed to the medical profession, "I
didn't think of that!"

she should keep this lotion and use it
frequently, being careful not to allow
it to touch her eyes.-Ladies'Home

A Queen's Cfiarit.v.
We hear loss about Portugal than
about Spain at a?y time and of late
have heard less than usual-. The
Queen of Portugal is a sovereign de
serving a long mark for her interest
in hospitals and hygiene, add alsd iii
the welfare of tho children df poverty;
At Alcantara she founded, in 1893,
a dispensary peculiarly for meeting
the demands of childish invalids, a3
pleasantly situated as possible and
spaciously planned, combining a diet
kitcheu, consultation rooms, surgicr-t
halls and much of the departmental
work of a hospital. Almost every day
the queen herself goes to the estab
lishment and takes a personal share in
the labors of the charity-now waiting
in the kitchen distributions,and again
assisting in the surgery. Several
ivoll known women of her court are
equally practical. The general charge
of it is committed to a religious order,
a favorite of the queen's, but the emi
nent Portuguese physician, Dn Silva
Carvalho, heads the staff of medical
workers. In one year, (1890) there
were given iu the building 8559 con
sultations, 63,701 rations from the
diet kitchen, 32,521 baudagings, 76,
480 prescriptions and 470 vaccina
tions. The milk and vegetables aro
furnished gratis by the queen, and
the medical supplies are also defrayed
by her. Fifteen hundred babies were
treated in one twelvemonth. It n
said that there is not auy royal char
ity of the sort in Europe so efficiently
mauaged, with the additional active
co-operation of the founder.-Har

Women ns Druggists.
Comparatively fewwomeu have th;*"
far become druggists. lt certainly
has not been ou account of ' their disa
bility for such work, for their deftness
and delicacy of touch, and their j a
tience and extreme cleanliness, make
them most valuable in the laboratory.
In business the only women who suc
ceed are those who go to their work
with a positiv? conviction that they
have selected wisely and well and
j whose energies ave tireless. It is true
i they are uot often so well p ?id for tho
! same work as men, but it is to be
i hoped that the world will soon realize
I that there is no ser; in brains", andlthat
! this error of thc present day will soon
be rectified.
The coarse of study to fit oue to
prepare aud dispense drugs and to
learn the principles of immediate use
in a drug stove usually extends over a
j period of from a year and a half to two
i years; it includes a certain amount of
! instruction in Latin, chemistry, bot
j any, materia medica, microscopy,
! pharmacy, etc. The foes for instrue
? ?ion rt.the various colleges of pharni
! acy throughout the country a,-e mod
erate-about ?75 a term, which covers
all necessary expenses.
The work is emiuently suited to a
refined, educated woman, though to
gain admission to any of the colleges
only a good general education is neces
sary. Once qualified as a dispenser
there is always employment to be
found. The work is not usually well
snough paid to attract au overplus of
men,aud is consequently too frequent
ly in the hands of indifferent persons,
a condition to be deplored when it is
remembered that for this particular
enterprise women's abilities are un
questionably fitted. -American Queeu.
. Women Work While Men Fight.
"Halt of tho crops raised in Kan
I si? are sown and gathered by womeu,"
! sahl Seymour Davis, ono of the lar
1 gest agriculturists in Southern Kan
sas, in a recent conversation. "This
may soem a rather startling state
ment to comprehend at first, but I
I know it to be absolutely true. Since
the war in the Philippines nearly 100?
i more womeu have begun work in the
fields. Nearly every member of the
Twentieth Kansas volunteers was a
farmer, and they left wives, sisters
and sweethearts behind them. These
women resolved at once to do the
proper thing, and they are running
the farms themselves while the boys
are away. It's a patriotic thing, but
there are more widows, orphans au-2
spinsters who run farms thau the
other class. Altogether, thero are
&QIM women in the state who farm. I
think that is about 50 per cent, of thc
farmer population. I meau the heads

of the state did likewise. ' The girls of
this 3tate w$o .work on farms, are as

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in
speaking to a club woman the other
day, expressed herself as eutirely out
of sympathy with that kind ol femi
nine taste that induces a womau to go
about with a trailing dress and no
pocket. She spoke on the matter in
this wise: .* :' Y
"To me one of the saddest sights io

Notable Operation in Surgery.
A remarkable surgical operation is
reported to have been performed upon
Adrian Dehertoghe, a machinist of
San Francisco. Fifteen yards of sil
ver wire, as large around as an ordin-1
ary hypodermic needle, were intro- j
duced into and coiled within his aorta,
the arterial chaunel leading directly
from the heart, and those forty-five
feet of wire, which have been in there
for mouths, have, the surgeons say, j
saved his life. They were inserted
at a time when death seemed certain
-complications resulting from a sevr ;
erely injured aorta, the patient's trou
ble being an aneurism, < r sacnlated '
tumor of the arterial wall, its develop
ment to rupture of tho aorta being
only a question of time, with instant
death as the result. The surgical
skill in treating such a case was, of
course, required to be the highest.
The wire was introduced into the, dis
tended or abnormal sac formed, in the
aorta, in order partly to fill it and
form there a clot, that would in time
contract aud lie there absorbed, there
by restoring the channel to its normal!
formation.-New York Tribune.

The Most JFoTverful I'oiiion. .?
The most powerful poison known to
science is extracted from the tetanus
bacillus -the bacillus of - lockjaw.
Cultures are treated by a laboratory
process and yellow flakes.of intensely
poisonous material obtained. It is so
poisonous that a mouse weighing half
au ounce was killed by less than one:
millionth part of a grain, while one
three-hundredths of a grain will kill a
mau weighing 150 pounds.
An extract of the caster bean c?l{ed
Ricin produces poison such that one
hundred-thousandth of a grain will
kill an animal weighing two pounds,
and one one-hundredth of; a grain
would be a fatal dose to a man. Two
scientists, Mitchell and Reichert,have
discovered that the poisons of ser.
pents differ from those produced bi
decaying animal matter and plants
or from mineral compounds, J -Th?y.
belong to a group called proteids, but
are rude and barbarous compared willi
the lightning rapidity of action, .and
absolute destruction following the nsf

THE BLIND EAVE NOT EBENES
SENSES;
German Iconoclast Demolishes ?
Longr-Establlshed Belief.
A long series of experiments has re
cently been made by Prof. H. Gries
bach; of Basle; upod the relative acute
ness of the senses. of hearing; touch,
taste and smell in thc Case of the blind
and those who possess nprma?t fisi?n.
The results are" COL fained in' Pfl?g?r'?
Archiv. The observations were made
on those who were otherwise healthy.
In the differentiation of tactile Impres
sions no remarkable differences were
ooserved between the seeing and the
blind, or if small differences did exist
they were in favor of the seeing. In
those born blind the tactile sharpness
was somewhat less thon In the seeing,
and in some cases the sensorlum gen
erally was equally defective. ' The
blind In particular feel less" acutely
with fli? tip bf the Index finger than
flo ?h?s? who1 see, and Iii ninny cases
the tactile acuteness; pf fife two* index
finger tips differs, in the blind, espe
cially t?, ti? region of the hand, a
stronger impression ls required to pro
duce a tactile Impression1 than in those
possessed of sight.
In the capability of localizing Im
pressions of. sound no difference exists
betweeu the blind and the seeing. In
both great individual variations occur.
As a rule, both In the seeing and the
blind the use of the organ of both
sides gives better results than the use
of one alone. No difference in the
Acuteness bf riearifig exists" between
the blind and those who see. No rela
tion was observed between the acute
ness of hearing and the power of local
izing sounds in either the seeing or the
blind. No diff?rence was observed In
the {Wp classes Iii regard td the acute-,
ness of smell.
in the. execution1 ?f-ni??uai idb?r ih?
blind become fatigued sooner than dd
those of equal age who see. The blind
are more fatigued with manual than
with mental work, which is not the
case with the seeing of the same. age.
If any diff?rence ?xists ld regard to
exhaustion after' frienini labbr ii ls1 jd
favor of those of the same ?ge who
see. 'Both among the blind and the
seeing, there aro persons who have
many, others who haye only a few,
and others again who have' ho illusory
or erroneous impressions of touch.
These events are in many respects
opposed to generally received opinions,
for it is usually supposed that depriva
tion- of-?ight leads to exaltation of the
acuteness bf the otbef senses; especial*
ly of the tdiich arid hearing";
The Glacier Streams of iceland.
?? the glacier streams Of icein rid
possess the cdrrirridn characteristics ol
carrying dowti large quantities of peb
bles and clay and of spreading out
Over the lowlands in .1 network of
channels. Generally they emerge from
their parent glaciers with a pretty
steep fall and gather heavy burdens
of pebbles and debris from the mo
raines-so heavy, indeed, that when
the strength of the durrerit diminishes
the stream cannot carry its load; hilt
drops it. The river bed thus gets
choked up, the current divides. The
strongest blanches force their way
through the debris, encounter fresh
obstacles, run into one another, coal
esce with other branches, gain ncces
ions of. power, once more burst
through the -deposits of gravel,' send
off small sido anns, again diminish, in
Volume, and so go through the. whole
process afresh. Thus there is un un?
ceasing struggle betweefl the glacial
torrents and the masses of gravelly
debris, giving- rino--t-Q-nn In^ooaflrU-ly
changing- "fietwork of interconnected
chTTfinels.
One day .a river branch will he swol
len to the dimensions of; a dangerous
fiver, the ?ext ddy it will contract to
the compass of ari Insignificant rivu
let. A minute often suffices to cause
a stoppage, a dlvls?o? of the current,
the carving out of a hew bed. Some
of these streams become dammed up
till they form lakes, which overflow
and Inundate many square miles of
the adjacent country. Some cut but
such deep channels through the glacial
debris that they do not shift their
glacial torrents, therefore, often pre
sents a picture of an extremely com
plicated network of hundreds of
brandies, inclosing between them a
multiude of islands of clay and sand,
which are equally ns variable as the
rivers themselves. It may be accept
ed as an invarible law with regard tc
the glacial streams of Iceland thal
they never empty, themselves into the
deep fjords. In all cases where thej
formerly did sb the fjords have be
come choked with sand, gravel, anc"
clays.-Geographical Journal.
