The driver of a racing car thus expresses the, sensation of high speed: “A man with nerves has no busi ness in the tonneau of a record breaking motor car. It is difficult enough to keep one’s person in the machine without being compelled to hold the heart in its proper place in the body. “On a hill climb, when the ear rushes across the starting line at sixty miles per, the feeling is one of intense exhilaration, but when the first bump is struck figurative ly you descend to the earth again, but literally you perform quite the contrary action. Suddenly your legs become unmanageable, and, nar rowly missing the head of the driver or mechanic on the frdnt seat, your feet shoot into the air above your head. The descent docs come in time, but it does not come without accident, for you are cer tain to strike the back of the ton neau on your way down. “By this time you are so en grossed in maintaining your prcea- rious hold on the car that the pros pect of turning over worries you only as a remote and not unwel come relief to the troubles which have already assailed you. “There is a stone wall at the side of the grade, presumably as a safe ty precaution, but the fiendish wav- in which the man at the wheel holds the skidding machine toward it promises only a contest of strength which can have but one ending. But the turn safely made, and the sigh of relief is lost in the final bump as the machine goes over the finish line. “The official timers make a care ful inspection to assure themselves that they are all there. Then the older one, glancing at his watch, eavs: “ ‘A new record, but what a fool a married man is to make such a trip 1* “The younger is unmarried and therefore without wisdom. He says nothing, but reflects joyously that there is much in life to com pensate him for his determination never to ride in a record breaker again.”—Kansas City Star. Where Dlckene Got the Idee of Thie Quaint Character. * There were Wellerisms before Weller. It may be noted, by the way, that Samuel’s name was no invention. The name of Weller is familiar to genealogical studento as that of families in Kent, Surrey and elsewhere in the south of Eng land. In the time of Edward III. a certain Hugh le Veller was living at Henley-on-Thames, so perhaps Mr. Wfeller, Sr., when from the gallery of Mr. Justice Stareleigh’s court he encouraged his son to “spell it with a we” was not so very far wrong. There can be but little doubt that just as Mrs. Frances Sheridan’s Mrs. Tryfort, with recollections of Dogberry and his like, suggested to Sheridan the creation of Mrs. Mala- prop, so Dickens drew the idea of Sam Weller’s peculiar way of illus trating his talk by apt comparison and felicitous allusion from a char acter in a farce by Samuel Beazley, which was popular before “Pick wick” was thought of. This was pointed out in detail more than a quarter of a century ago by the late Mr. E- Blanchard, although many lovers of Dickens seem to be still unaware of the existence of this .prototype of Weller. Both Beazley, who was by profession an architect, and his dramatic works are unknown to the present genera tion. But in the early decades of the last century his plays were pop ular, especially a musical farce call ed “Five Hours at Brighton ; or, The Boarding House,” produced at the old Lyceum theater in 1811. A fa vorite character in this farce was Mr. Simon Spattcrdash, a militia man. Copies of the play are very rare, but Mr. Blanchard gave a number of examples of Mr. Spat- terdash’s sayings, of which we quote one or two: “Come on, as the man said to his tight boot;” “I’m down ! upon you, as the extinguisher said to the rushlight;” “Where shall we : fly?” as the bulet said to the trig- | ger;” “I’m all over in a perspira tion, as the mutton chop said to the gridiron;” “Let every one'take care j of themselves, as the donkey ob served when dancing among the chickens,” and so bn. An actor named Samuel Vale was identified with the part of Simon Spatterdash and in private life was in the habit of belarding his talk with comparisons of the Spatter- dash brand, comparisons whicl flowed with fatal facility from his Ups. • Sam Vale’s “latest” passed from mouth to mouth, and both the name of the actor and the farce with which he was associated mu^t have been familiar to Dickens. There can hardly be any reasonable doubt that the name of Sam Vale sug gested that of Sam Weller, just as his trick o^ talk, derived from the : militiaman of Beazley’s farce, sug- | gested Samuel’s amusing method of speech.—London Globe.

About People. Carrying the News. Before the advent of the tele graph news traveled slowly, and in times of war reports of victory or defeat were anxiously awaited and were at times long delayed. One writer, relating his own experi ences, tells us of the exhilarating scene in Glasgow when the mail coacli arrived bearing the news of some great victory, such as the bal- I tie of the Nile or the battle of Wa terloo. “On such occasions,” he says, ; “the horses were decorated with j laurels, and a red flag floated from the roof of the coach. The guard, dressed in scarlet, sounded his horn Russia, the man at eighteen, the woman at fifteen; Saxony, the man at eighteen, the woman at sixteen; Switzerland, the man at fourteen, the woman at twelve.—Exchange. Killed to S a v e Silk. On attaining full growth the silk worm stops feeding and throws out silken threads. The silk is formed in a fluid condition and issues from the body 6f *the worm in a glutinous state, apparently in a single thread. From this silk the worm constructs its cocoon, an interval of from three to five days being required to com plete its imprisonment in the envel ope. In order that; the silken strands may not be sub/ected to the danger of breakage by the moth emerging from the cocoon, the co coons are steamed till tho inclosed insects are dead. After this the silk may be wound off.—Boston Journal. UNTIL EVEI Men ’ SANTA CLAUS’. BAG MUST BE, FULLOF {THEM K>DY H AS A lountejnM T I M E - T A B L E N.Y. and LI.
