BIDING ON A STORM. | A BOAT THAT RODE RIGHT UP THE | DOWNPOURINQ RAIN. Unexpected Turn of a Discussion on Air ships—To Win In an Argument One Needs Only to Master Bis Conscience and Think In a Barry. "I don't believo there Is any such thing as an airship 1" exclaimed tho man who had his chair tilted back against the side of the hotel and who was allowing cigar ashes to drop On his vest, "But people bare seen it," expostu lated the man who wears long red side whiskers on his head and spats on his The other members of the Curbstone clnb drew their chairs tip closer and looked interested. "Whioh simply goes to show," was the reply, "that we are living in an era oi adulteration. Nobody ever saw things like that before tbey got to making chemical laboratories take tbe plaoo of distilleries. What do we want with an airship anyhow?" "Soientists say it's bound to come," ventured the proprietor of a white vest and a plaited shirt bosom. ' 'Of course scientists tell us it's com ing. Scientists have families to support, the same as other people, and it's tbeir business to keep publio confidence up. And I don't deny that tho airship may be coming some time. But it won't get here till conditions demand it What could you do with an airship that can't be accomplished just as well with a trolley car or a steamshipor a bicycle?" Some drops of rain gave warning of a storm, and when the party had got settled in the smoking room the skeptic resumed: ' 'Supposing they do fix up an arrange ment to take you up in the air. What is there to do except to oome down again? Of course you can go from place to place, but a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, and what's the use of taking tho extra trouble of traveling on a curve through the atmos phere? If there were some way of an choring a cloud and starting a roof gar den on it, I'd say, 'Go ahead and have the airship, by all means.' There'd be "But," ventured he of the plaited shirt front, "it would bo a nice way to travel, plenty of fresh air and room, The storm had increased outside un til its noise attraoted general attention. The man with side whiskers went to amount to mnch," contemptuously re sponded the wearer of the ash sprinkled vest. "It's coming down in drops so far apart that you can see botween them." "They're pretty big drops, though." "Pshaw I Compared to the real thing, this shower is nothing but a leak in a wash boiler. By the way, somebody was claiming that airship travel would be commodious and comfortable and all that sort of thing." I id that," came the rather timid on. you ever try a voyage at a great r bought not. If you had. you 't make any such assertion, umber of years ago I went with a Mend for a trip on Lake Brie. That's the place for storms. His boat.ww a small screw anu one of the swiftest affairs ever built. We saw a storm coming, and, in spite of our efforts to run away from it, it overtook w. T?lk about rain! What we encoun tered there was a perpendicular river. My friend staid on deck to see that we didn't run into anything, and I, of course, stood by him. In a few minutes I realized that if something wasn't done we'd drown right in our tracks. I wait ed my opportunity, and presently, when a big wave came along and tilted tbe boat up so that the deck stood at an an gle of about 45 degrees, I turned the en eJT>c loose for all there was in it I glanced at my friend. He was white as a sheet, but he grasped my hand in to- Ihis approval of what I was do lt was a desperate chance, but it out as I had hoped. Tbe boat bo ) rlne steadily mid swiftly on a It was a time of horrible sus for we didn't know what minuto it might strike a thin spot in tho that the paddle wheels wouldn't ild of. But wo got safely to tho i both sank to the deck in utter j tion. When we recovered suffi ciently, we took a survey of our sur roundings; and I give you my word I never experienced anything more dreary than the impression made by tho tre mendous expanse of vacancy which met our gaze on all sides. After a few hours of it I would have given a fortune for the sight of a few telegraph poles or the sound of a train boy peddling oranges." "How did you got down?" asked one "We didn't bother about that. After playing seven up tiU we got tired of the game we turned in, and when we awakened it was broad daylight. We found that as the storm subsided we had sunk gently until we were drifting in sunshine and safety on the broad, | lisom of Lake Erie.'' you say you don't believe in I thing as an airship?" queried I with the white vest quietly. ! ourse not.

American Wrinkle* Are Adopted In a, Sort of Half Hearted Way, and Very Uttle Effort Is Hade by the Managers to Pop ularize Them. Two footers in English holiday travel are obvious from these great piles of passengers' baggage. One is that there is no check system on the railways, and tbe other that if it cost as much to hire a oab in Liverpool or Manchester m in New York these would soon be a dimi nution in tbe number of packages, if not in tbe weight of tbe baggage, which English families take with them on their holiday travels. Few big Saratoga trunks are to tie seen on tbe platform at Crewe Here and there may be seen a trunk whioh it takes two men to lift; but the address on it will almost cer tainly show it to belong to an American visitor. English people will not take the trouble to pack all their belongings into one or two large sired trunks. Neither is there any need why they Should so long as the railway companies will accept without demur 12 or 16 small trunks, hampers, bundles and other miscellaneous packages as the baggage entitled to go with 'one set of railway tickets, end so long as an Eng lish cab driver will pile all thin stuff on tbe top or box seat of his oab and carry it and the family attached to it from their heme to the railway station for half a crown. Every now and again an Englishman who has been in Ainorioa writes to The Times concerning the advantages of the check system as it is worked on the American railways, but all these letters go unheeded. English railway managers have a dread of innovations, especially if the innovation comes from Auerica, and the English people, who are accus tomed to the scramble for baggage at the railway stations, are quite ir.tisfted with the existing system, or rather lack of system. On the whole, they save a little money by it English railway companies allow a third class passenger 56 pounds oi personal baggage, and a first class passenger double that amounts- Any exoess is supposed to be paid for, but a tip of threepence to a porter will usually see the whole traveling impedi ments of a family oarried straight from the oab to the train and insure that no questions as to weight are asked. It is usually tbe lack of a tip or a hostile hint from a cabman who is not satisfied with his faio that leads to a call at the weighing machine on the way from the cab to tho baggage van. Under the ex isting system English people have al ways to watch over their own baggage at every change, and sometimes to scramble and struggle for it at the end of the journey, and to tumble over other people's baggage as they fight their way into a crowded train. But then, as I have shown, it is a system under which the passenger can nearly always get the best of the railway company in tbe mat ter of excess of baggage, and nobody gives any heed to tho frequent sugges tions that tbe American system of checks should be adopted. In one or two directions the English companies are now following the exam ple of tho American railway companies. After years of urging from tho board of trade and the government department which has the oversight of railways several of tho lines are graxluallj_ in tra ducing long cars for lonjtgiSUßSe travel. They h«ve npt-tetdjy adopted the Amer ican car. The pattern .oi l oar now being brought into use is a compromise be tween the American oar and the Eng lish compartment carriage. The com paitment is retained, but each compart ment is connected with a corridor whioh ; runs not down the middle, but along one side cf the car. This has given the ! name cf corridor train to the train made up of carriages Duiifc aiter this fashion. On some cf tho trains all the car riages aio connected with vestibules like thc.ee en American railways. On other trains thtre era two or three cor ridor caw, while tho rest of the carriages are cf the old fashioned style. It is characteristic of the English people that thero is seldom any scramble for places in the new ears. People scorn to like tho old rxrffipartSaerita better, a fact upon which the railway companies do net fail to lay stress when, after somo outrage in a train, the companies are pressed by tbo beard of trade to maka the use of corritier cars more general. Tho corridor brains tire principidly in Uic, between Loiiucn and Scotland. On •sores of tho long distance runs in Eng land ail the carriages me still of the old fashioned kind. Another fact concerning the corridor j trains is typical of the English char acter. Newsboys are not carried on there. The FJii;;iish railway newsboy is ftill kept u.Jeiy to the platforms at the railway stations. And ho is likely to be kept there, for English people would vcte it a nuisance too great to bo borne to be pestered to buy books and confec tionery they do pot want The newsboy who travels with Ihe train has few friends among Englishmen who have been in America. People grumble at the prices il.p.rged by the monopolists who control all tho railway news and bookstalls in this country. But it ia often pat to tho credit of the monoiio list« tftat their newsboys are always at hand, but ju/vt-r make themselves a nuisancfe, nr.*- worry passengers' who do not want the hook;; they are vending. One of tho newest innovation from America in tho English railway service concerns mileage Looks. These aro now in use on the Northeastern railv:ty. Thty aro being tried in a tentative fashion, and so far aro issued only 10 first class travelers. The reductions il fare are quite considerable, and the oca ditions prescribed by the un easy. If the experiment worki satisfite torily, it will soon be extended to third class passengers on the Northeastern, and, once well established on one large trunk line, the system will soon become general—London Letter. Conversational Slovenlineaa. Conversation also is often marked by moral slovenliness. Not only is there that kir-d of telk stained with dirt which somo men shamelessly exhibit, but there axe the conversations hi which there is a covert loosenesa, a uoublcness of messing, a hint of that which raay not bo said with manly straightforward ness, which has in it a certain laxity, as far as moral rectitude is concerned.

A Sketch of the Little Humeri.! aa Writ- ! ten by Himself. I was born nine years after Bill Nye, in the state of New York. A E one year I made a kick, and my father moved mc from out of the state into the city of New York. My father, being a physi cian, later took me to Ilartford for my health, where I began to laugh and grow fat. 1 have been laughing ever since. My first partner in the funny business was the red headed son of tbe jailer in Hartford. He played Buffalo Bill—the only one who ever played tbe part with red hair, but that was his conception of ii We made money. Our stage was the scaffold, which was kept in tbe garret, except when there was a banging, when we took off tbe play. On returning to New York city, I found myself without tbe red headed [ friend and without means. For a time 11 buried my talent in Bradstreet's agency as file boy at $2 per week. I mixed in so many jokes with my work that tbe letters didn't read seriously enough. Then I went to England and ■waited for things to oome my way. They came in a walk, while the $30 I had left kept going in a trot. I found that living in a small hall bedroom made me narrow minded, so 1 staid out in tbe park several nights to give my self room, as well as to air my repertoy. I concluded it was weak in me to bury my gifts simply because I was in hard luck, so I began a series of free enter tainments and became so popular that I began taking three cups of coffee a day, instead of odo, as heretofore. Among those who took advantage of the cheap prices was the Prince of Wales. It cost him nothing to laugh, so he laughed. Several people wanted to know what he was laughing at He re plied, "That." 1 had told a joke about the mother-in-law which struck tbe lost chord in the prince's heart and woke up a responsive, sympathetic pang. I have been charging all I could get for my services ever since. Being a Bepub lican, I struck myself off the free list, as I no longer consider myself raw ma terial. For several years now I have been in this city, am known by nearly all the street oar drivers, who never fail to hunt me up before I get off. My family consists of my father, whoso constant, patient companion I am. In retaliation for my "gags" he prac tices daily his school of homeopathy on me. It is hard to tell which gets tbe worst of it. Wo have as many rooms a we wish, - but only one home. His head is silver—heart gold. We are pals. In this autobiography I have, in my shrinking way, left out most of my strong points, as is becoming at such times. Yet, if I have unjustly slander ed myself, there be others who have tbe right to set me square before an out raged public. Far be it from me to do myself justice. The end. Merrily yours. —Marshall P.

A well known bonifaao died at an age when ho oafrht to have been enjoying robust tud vigorous health. Some slight mention ww made of bis business ven tures, of his daily life, of his reason for living. E.it all this part cf his exist once was immateiral and uninteresting. The great and praiseworthy features of bis life seem to huvo been gastrcuomio feats and a general ability to eat and drink enormously. He was lauded as the prince of boa vivants, tho man who could oat a huge dinnor and shortly thereafter swallow a brace of broiled lobsters and a couple of Welsh rabbits, washed down with copious libations of vintages or distillages or fermentages. During his last illness, when his phy sicians enjoined rest in bed and a scru pulously caicful diet, we read that he was game enough to dress and go out en tho hotel porch to sit, winding up his imprudence (and incidentally his life) with a hearty meal, in deflanoe of the medical directions. This last piece of bravado was apparently considered by certain newspaper reporters as an achievement fit to rank with a victory on a battlefield, and the glutton was ad miringly mentioned as though he were a brilliant and fearless hero, risking his life" in a worthy oause. Tho newspapers were not creating a sentiment, but merely oatering to one already formed in thus aiding gluttony. The only conclusion we can draw is that the epicurean philosophy still has its cult, and that many a man's motto is, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.''
