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 - New York Sum 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!" |FOR WOMAN'S BENEFIT.

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.

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. .

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.

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. . The' Bitterness of lt.
