A Street Car Incident.
The passengers on a Chestnut
street car enjoyed a good laugh
yesterday afternoon that was
worth double the fare, says the
Philadelphia Record. At Eigh.
teentli and Chestnut streets the
car stopped and an old man,
who attracted considerable at¬
tention, got on. He looked like
a man who had built up a brisk
business in some provincial
town. He sat down near the
rear platform and when the con¬
ductor came iu for his fare he
handed him a quarter and pock¬
eted his change, < < Say,” le
shouted, “you give me a re¬
ceipt!” i l A what?” < ( I want
a receipt. First thing I know
some other conductor’ll get on
here and’ll want another fare.
You give me a receipt.” The
other passengers laughed, but
the old man persisted, ( i You
give me a receipt.” < < My good
man,” said the conductor, “we
don’t give receipts. Your fare
is paid and it is all right.” The
old man was not satisfied with
this and still requested his re¬
ceipt. The conductor went out
on the platform and pondered
deeply for a moment. Then he
fished an old transfer ticket from
his pocket and handed it to the
passenger, He was satisfied
with this and held it tightly in
his fingers until the car reached
Eleventh street, when he got off

The Baltimore Herald announ¬

Smithsonian Institution at Wash

companied by a story in text,
showing the great-great grand¬
father of Red Jacket smoking a
corncob pipe. The drawing is
supposed to be the work of that
eminent aborigine Frederic Rem
ington, and the text to be that
of his contemporary Dickhard

learned and skillful beyond com¬
parison with any 7 of their fellow
bucks.
The Philadelphia Ledger es¬
timates that the campaign of
Palmer and Buckner cost not
less than $100,000. In that event
the people who supplied the
funds got very little back for
their money

A Sleeping Disease.
We are told that on the west
en? coast of Africa they have a,
singular and always fatal mala¬
dy which is known as the sleep¬
ing disease. The person attack¬
ed by it is seized with a sensa¬
tion of drowsiness, which con¬
tinues to increase in spite of the
efforts made to throw it off.
Finally, the patient sinks into
a profound sleep, which contin¬
ues for about three weeks, or
until death ensues. The most
curious features of the disease
is that asidefrom the drowsiness
the patient seems much as usu¬
al. The pulse, respiration and
temporature are normal, while
he may be easily aroused and
will take nourishment and an¬
swer questions in a perfectly
natural manner.
We have heard of insomnia
and now comes the still more
fatal apposite. A young lady
friend of ours had a species of
the sleeping disease. She could
not control drowsiness, during
the day. although she
many hours during the night.
Her health was not good and
she wat subject to fits of melan¬
cholia. Luckely for her she
had parents able to afford her
relief. She spent some time
in the country, living actively
in the open air. She then went
to Europe and remained there
for about one year quietly but
usefully cultivating mind and
body. Returning homo, with a
sound mind in a sound body,
she became alert instead of
drowsy, cheerful instead of
moody, and with perfect equili¬
brium that a well-organized
nature should posses. As we
are advised against too great
"P lllence and ab J ect ’ 80
we should desire neither drow
siness nor insomnia.
