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 Julian Story, the well-known American artist, is putting the finishing touches to a splendid life size portrait of the Prince of Wales, which he has painted up on an order from Mr. William Waldorf Astor. The Baltimore Herald announ¬ ces that" the inventor of the corn cob pipe is dead.” Undoubted ly. There is alleged to be in the Smithsonian Institution at Wash ington an Indian drawing, ac¬ 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 ing Davis, both of whom were 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.

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. Moss .and Mudd were oppos ing candidates in Maryland, and the people knew they had a 1 soft thing in either of them.

Discovered the Secret. They had been married two weeks and commenced their life in love in a cottage, says the Sanfrancisco Post. “I’m going to bake some bis¬ cuit, dear,” she announced. Won’t you help me?” < i Certainly, love,” he replied. They kissed and took the breadpan. < 4 Now' let me see, dear: I take a little baking powder.
