Depew on This Interesting Subject. From the Magazine of Travel. The prophet Is never tiuly appre ciated in his own country, wo arc told, nnd verily It seemeth true. Tin pro .phet may he a very proper nnd cnpahle person, and yet his fellow-countrymen will turn from him and his achieve ments to some fakir from foreign lands, ht ,hose shrine of mediocrity they will gladly bow. One N constantly hearltiB persons comparing the travelling ac commodations of this countiy with those of England and the Continent, to the advantage of the latter; exactly why, it is dimcult for one who Is fa miliar with both to understand 1 have made the tour of the United Kingdom nnd the Continent half a dozen or more times, nnd I always return to my own country with the comfortlnrc convic tion that our railroads are about a cy cle ahead of the foreign In construc tion, rolling-stock, equipment, set vice, and, most of all, In management. The difference Is tremendous, and tho (id Vantages are all with this side the At lantic. The English is perhaps better than the Continental iaila, the reapn pi obably .being that the English road Is not hampered by state ow net ship: It is therefore possible for it to adopt a progressive measure without conven ing a house of louls, a congress, or any other body than Us own directors. Tho more closely you ate nllled to govern mental management in the lines, the more uncomfoi table, old fogy, and non progressive do you become. On a Trench or German road, tunning at any fair rate of speed, tho discomfort Is great. Th joadbeds are bad. being nowheie on the Continent as good as on our best lines. Again, the cars of the Continental roads are much less heavily built than outs; they have only four wheels, and they are Joined to gether by tho pilmltlve arrangement of lever and screw. The result of this is that they are Immediately and vio lently influenced by the slightest ir legularlty in roadbed or track, and when the train Is really going fast the passengers are shaken and thiown about In a way which Is most tiresome nnd Irrltatlnir to a. strong and healthy person, and really dangerous to an in valid. THE COMPARTMENT EVII.,. Of tho compartment system which obtains abroad, enough cannot be said in denunciation; It is the most un pleasant, inconvenient, and dangeroiu feature of foielgn management. The arrangement of .seats In these compart ments makes. It necessary for one-half the occupants to ride backward. Noth ing can bo ruoie disagreeable than ti be shut up In one of these places in company and clcso contact with a lot of sti angers You are helplessly locked in a small room, ciowded so close to your vis-a-vis that your feet touch. Your neighbors may be Impudent, pre sumptuous, or generally offensive In speech, manneis, or odor; theio you aie, nnd there you hae got to remain. In boneless submission to these un pleasant conditions. The compartment system offers most Inviting oppoi utili ty for jobbery, outrage and murder, and you can scarcely look through any Continental or Enclish nowspapei without seeing accounts of robberies or other crimes, the scene of which has been the train compartment. I know of an Instance where an old gentleman, nn extreme Invalid, was Unveiling with his wife and daughter. The only other occupant of tho compaitment was a big brute in the clothes of a gentle man, who was most offensive and ab solutely Insulting to the Indies ilutlng the entile Jouiney, while the poor old man had to sit helplessly by. Ameiljam? ha v become so accus tomed to toilet luxuries on the car-", that they now regatd them as necessi ties, nnd the absolute lack of such conveniences In foreisn trains is diffi cult to applet late. If the lallroads of our Empire state should, in any condi tion of abet ration, adopt Continental trains, with their almost criminal lack of necessary accommodations, 1 am sure the leglslatuie would convene within the month, and pass laws com pelling the management, to ictuin'to its right mind, nnd to have some regard for the well-being of the tiavellng pub lie. The French loads have one car on each express train which has a compartment with a toilet room. For this remarkable luxuiy tho charge Is nearly double fate. On the English, mies mere is a saloon catrlagi- not un like one of our private cars, but It can only be obtained by nppllcafcon con siderably In advance, and then only for a party of a certain number. It Is sometimes offered as an act of cour tesy to ofllclals. In the matter of speed tho English ralluujs are en.ua! to ours, and on some trains the rate is considerably higher. On the continent, however, tho average speed of all passenger trains is not equal to the average freight tialns over tho New York Central road From my expeilenco in Germany, I should say tho way-trains make about fifteen miles an hour, and that thirty miles would be considered a fine rate lor an express TIPPING. Another striking peculiarity of tho continental tallwny system of fees by which station and train officials vary largely augment their regular salaries, by thu liberality of tiaveleis, who, through a systeih of tips even more exacting and thoiough than is tho sys tem which prevails in this country In connection with hotel employes, find It necessary to purt with considerable sumii In the course of their tiavels on tho continent. All these railway em ployes are, on the continent, govern ment officials, possessing authority quite unknown to the conductor, brakeman, or baggageman on Ameri can railways. These expect fees for nbout every seivleo they render, und their methods of reciprocating or le sontlng have, through long Indulgence and piactlce, become so thorough and effective ns to not only discourage any attempt on tho part of the ttavoler to disregard It, but to successfully base a complaint to their superior officers. Three or four persons may occupy an entire compartment by paying a satis factory fee, to the exclusion of ail oth ers, notwithstanding that tho train may be bo closely packed as to make It necessary for passengeis to wait for one that is to follow. If the traveler omltu to fee tho conductor or guard, .k. he is stiro to be jammed Into u com partment nliendy overciowded, or left Deiilnd. "While thin mny not happen often at a junction point, wheie an other car can be attached to the train, I have seen it happen frequently at way stations. I'c-slbly one- cause of tho existence of this systpjii of fees is to bo found In the fnct that the late of wages paid to employes of tho con tinental railways averages half that paid by Ameiican railways. n incident connected with tho fee system, at once uniulng nnd nnno. lug, had a fik-nd of mine ns its hero. The scene was the depot nt Fiankfort; my ft lend was about to enter a compart ment wheie theic were reernl acant places, when he raw one of the occu pants hand a gold piece to the gunid. Tho guard thereon lminedlately de clared Hint the compartment was 10 served, nnd that no one ele could enter it. My friend was natuinlly angry, nnd accused the fellow of being bribed; the accusation belntj denied, he Intimated with American conciseness and comprehensiveness that the gunid was a "liar and a thief Tho train moved off, my ftlend being eomsollcd to find another seat. At the first sta tion lie was nripBted for having in sulted a government oflic'.al, and. after a gieat deal of tiouble. he. undei the ndvice of a lnwjtr, paid all the costs, in addition to a heavy fine. This Is ono of the pleasant little happenings possible in a countiy wheie tho rail ways aie um bv the government, nnd where the government officials are amonablo to billies I doubt we should take kindly to It in this Land of the Free. UNDER ARREST. Another instance of collision with the powers occurred also in Germany. A party of American student", tiavel lng thiough the countiy, reached the station just ns theli tialn was starting Iielng Amei leans, theii) usual custom nt home hnd been to catcli tialns by the rear platform as tho last car wns leav ing the station, nnd they saw no tea son to change their custom to oblige any "eflete monaichv." The official called to them not to Jump on, but again, being Amei leans and students, they dlsiegarded him and boarded the train. At the next stntlon they were met bj a. guatd of so'.dlcisnnd matched off under an est Thej discovered that they hnd violated nn oullnance of the Geimau Emplie. The-, were speedily sentenced to thirty days' Imprison ment, and before they Know it they weie behind the bars, rrom hlc!?"lg nomlnv It lequlied the Influence of our legation at Herliii, added to their most abject apologies, to procuie their le lease. After all, our soulless i.illway corporations manages things wither bettor. This piactlce not only produce" the results mentioned, but applies with equal rigor to the baggage question, The llbeial fee-giver, who is almost al was an American, secuies piompt at tention nt tho hands of tho baggage mnster nnd his assistants; while he or she who either cannot affoul, or for othei reason iefues, to fee this despot of the bnggage-ioom, must submit to being Jostled and elbowed by the surg ing ciowds on the platform, until the fee-glvlng uistomeiA have all had at tention Although It Is in the power of the tiaveler who has established this relation of individual employment be tween the inilwav official nnd himself to lalin any piece of baggage he may select fiom the mass of trunks and bags and boxes which may have col lected either on tho platform or in the station, theio being no system of checking baggage, It Is marvelous that so little Is stolen. In this country, such a system would lead to endless loss nnd hopeles confusion, as tho nimble w It of our ciimlnal classes would be sure to discover and 'tiecessfully utilize- no end of methods lor robbing the traveler. OPERATIVES UNPROTECTED. No American railway man who visits Europe can help feeling gieat sympa thy for the englneeis and firemen over there, as he sees them stand on the foot-boards of their locomotives, w Ith only a screen In front to piotert them from lain, snow, nnd the cold wind. European railways do not provide pro tection to their englneeis nnd fiieimn In tho foim of the cnb, so common on the Aineilcnn locomotive; nnd not only do these faithful servants of the tiav ellng public suffer from the practice mentioned, but tho tialn conductor Is compelled to walk along a nariow board on the outside of the tialn, In collecting tickets, and hang on ns best he can when lecelving, punching, and re-dellverlng them through tho open window, tho tinin in the meantime rushing along nt full peed. exposing him not only to nil Forts of weather, but to the constant danger of being thi own from his uncertain footing to thp earth, and peihnps to his death. When on the continent, I have often been asked, what are the objections to government owneishlp of lallways and to their management and operation by emplojcs with power only possessed by government officers? To this In quiry I have answered that my objec tion Is largely to its non-niosiesslvo character, and to the unavoidable in fluence it exeits nsalnst tho adoption of every improvement which can pos sibly mean greater comfott and safety to tho tiavelei. Tho cabinet minister In chaigo of the lallwavs dales not build branches, run switches Into w are houses, put side-tracks to undeveloped mines and new mnnufnctoiles, estab lish connection with water power wluro business is to be developed, or adopt, or even expeilment with, any new ap pliances involving tho putting nsldo of present methods, because of tho oppo sltlon which Is ever aleit to charge hlni iv Ith mismanagement, incompetence, or extravagance. He must show, b his budget, a proper rclutlon of ex penses to earnings, and a net earning sufficient to cover the eost of mnljiUn fineo and operation, and tho Interest on obligations used for purchase or con Ktrucflon; even If all tho features above montloned, which in this country re ceive such careful nnd thorough a'tten tlon, are absolutely neglected. The railway officials of the monarch ical countiles of tho continent consti tute tho strongest hulwntk of tho gov ernment and of monarchy. I need not plcturo tho result in this country vveio tho seven hundred thousand or moro employes of our railways to be sud denly, or In ever so deliberate a way, transformed Into government officials. They would become nt once an nll- 1 anint i- Ti-T-.ina-istii pervading, Intelligent, and ever-ptcs-ant foice from one end of thn country to tho other, controlling the machinery of tho party In power, using their of fices to pdrpettiate such power, levying nK'?nments for campaign purposes, and In many othor wnyn creating nnd fostetlng a corrupt condition beyond the wildest dream of the lollllcal malinger, manipulator, and atilker. UKIUKrAST IN.MJIUIS IIKAII'II. I)r. Dovvcj- Tells of the lloncllt to He Merited from Abstention. From tlio Washington Post. About thirty friends vvero gathered In the copy parlors of Dr. S. A. Edson Inst evening to listen to a tnlk by Dr. E. II. Dewey, of Meadvllle, Pn., who has been her guest nnd the. guest of Mis. Alice Ulrncv during the past week. Ills subject w'as the no-breakfast plan, which Is now nttturilntf much atten tion. The closest attention was shown by those piesent, nnd a number went home with the laughing remnrk that tomorrow they would go to their work without breakfast. The experience Is, the doctor nsseited, that when this prnctlc e Is begun there Is such a gain In tho general henltlt and intellectual power, and In the enjoyment of life geneially. that people could not be hired to leturn to the early meal. Dr. Dewey Is a quiet, ruddy-cheeked man, rather slender, with a bright, cheerful disposition a man old enough to have been a surgeon In Hherinnu'a nrmv shortly after lie had received his diploma from the University of Michi gan. He Is a "regulal," nnd has been In genii nl piactlce in Meadvllle, his home, for thirty-one years. He made the astonlhlng statement, however, that he hnd not administered a dore of medicine for curative put poses for the past twenty years, but gives nature tin very best conditions possible to do her own woik. This he does thtouKlt not dosing the patient with remedies that nio constantly changing in fashion, even as do tho styles of a woman's bonnet, and by never feeding the sick until the natuial appetite calls for food. He s-ajs people need not be afraid of stnivntlon, because- the na tuial appetite will come long before the skeleton stage Is leached, which Is the only point whete death can occut from starvation. He sns nlKo that when the natural nnpetlte comes In cases of sickness which mny be dava, and Is in some cases weeks the dis ease is spent, and the food Is digested by a thoioughlv lestcd and healthy stomach, and that the person is fnlily bo-'i n'galn, with new blood, new tissue a ntw man or woman 01 child. He claims that wheie the early bieakfnst Is dioppod by those In com- paiatlve health, new benefits are con stantly gained; nnd that It Induces such a condition ns to enable the man or woman to go about his or her dally work or business, the dnllC pleasures of life, without thought of physical cultuie or of health: that the health will become automatic, as it were, and that the mind can be given up to the pin suits of tho hour.

A Wonderful hrnl Stnrtlltij Display Which Becomes Simple Enough When You Understood How It Was Achieved. Til Mm Tntlliml ,1oa Tlelintu "f. Henri I de Parvillo gives an account of a recent spirit manifestation in. Purls cleverly pioduccd by X tays. "The spectators," snld M. de Pnivllle, "were ushered into a pallor In which theic was nn abund ance of vases and nttlstic glasswnre. In a corner there was an apparatus about as big ns nn ordinary mngle lantern enveloped In black stuff. Tho guests numbered about twenty. "The lights were extinguished Jus,t ns In the case of a regular splilt sennce. A sort of rattllnr wns heard, nnd ln; mcdlately afterward a gigantic and lu minous hand pnssed over the heads of the assistants. Evidently it almost touched some of them, for we heard a little cry of tctior that was quickly suppressed. 'Don't be afraid,' said the host, it Is not the hand of a ghost; I will show it to you In the light by and by.' At the name moment a flock of luminous violins appeared and How about In all directions. An old habitue of the li'iitlovanl leniarked that we weie with the Davenports. 'Not at all,' said the host, 'Ijlieir- never wns a. ghost In this house. And tho violins dlsnppcaied ns silently nn they had come. Then nn Immense globe de scended from the celling like a ball of phosphorus, oscillating like the pendu lum of a clock. A luminous bell ap peared In front of this globe and made legular bows to It. "We could pee its fiery tongue moving while the jlobe wnltzcd around. "Suddenly at the four corners of tho room the glassies appeared to becomo Ignited the vasts were illumined and the lustres s-paikled. A table loaded with cups and glasses was lighted up. Uverv thing seemed on lue. The whole loom, that was so dark an Instant be foie, was aflame on all sides with phos phoicscent light of a soft and bluish color. DARKNESS, THEN LIGHT. "Then again all wan darkness. Grad ually a little light sticMmed In, and In a corner In fioi.t of a velvet portiere a human lorm appeared at first vague and vaporous, hardly distinguishable. Hut soon its outlines became clear and it advanced. A laly beside me stepped back-. Evidently she wan not the only one.for wo could lir the nolso of mov ing chairs. Tho phantom advanced a few steps and then stopped. It was a tall woman. Her face had a gitenish pallor; und what an cxtiaoidlnary face it was. Theie were no -ves. Wo could only pee two black holes under the eyelids. The mouth wns closed, the hair was phosphoiescent. A long, luminous veil enveloped this animated statue, and in the- folds of the veil little spaiks shone like diamonds. She rais ed her light aim slowly and tossed flames from her hand There was no upplause; all was bushel. The silent nnd stveie nppantloii was watched with Intense Inlciest. A gong sounded The appn'ltion leceded gently, and giadinlly faded put of sight. "Once mole- theio was a noise of moving chalis, nnd we distinctly heaid a sigh of le-llef. In the center of tho loom an immense and luminous bou quet next appealed with a blue band, upon whicli was wiltten 'X-iays ' "Then the lights were turned on, and 'ho pallor appealed in all its splendor. The host ntose. '.The seance is over,' he said. 'Theie was no spltltlsm about It, no occultism, nothing supernatural. It showed what X invscan do, and that is all EXPLAINED. "And now I can explain in substance that iiiyHlerlou-1 seance. It is veil known that the Roentgen rays, Invisi ble to our eves, lendei lluoiescent sub stances phosphoiescent, especially scieens covered with cyanide of ulatl nutn. Recently a well known maker of phjslcal nppniatus, M. Rndlguet, found that under the- action of X ravs all objects In glass and ciystal shine with peculiar billllancy, while every thing else lemnlns in complete obscm Ity. Tho mnclilne that pioduces the tas Is concealed behind several black cloths. Nobody can have nnv suspicion of Its existence: but, nevertheless, the lays pass through all the cloths and light up nil the glas? objects, and nothing, else, so that a glass held In the hand and moved up nt will can bo distinctly seen, while the hand Is abso lutel Invisible. Hut glass Is not the only thing that becomes phosphoies cent at a distance behind the X rav apparatus. The same effect Is pro duced upon enamels, diamonds, porce lain, etc. "When M Radlguet made this dls roveiy he, of course. Immediately said that It could pioduce sensational tricks, excite the public cuiloslty, nnd create n new nmusement destined to dethrone tho ghosts. "The operator In the present case had onl two assistants. They weie suf ficient to handle the objects and dls plny all tho matvels. Their task was r.Imple; they had only to move them caiefully. The opeiators could not be seen, but the- glass v lollns, vases, nnd tho glass model of tho hand were visi ble. "So much for the classes. Now for tho phantom. A flguiante, tail and clever, was concealed behind some dia peiy and enveloped In a veil that was covered by n lluoiescent substance. Her face was glared with a phosphoi escent sulphnto of zinc powder. It Is needless to say that the mateilal could not be applied to the eyes, and that ac counts for their absence In the livid face of the phantom." Fvidentlv X-iav ghosts ate only In their Infancy.
