" italian girl OF twelve years sat before ons OF
the high conicsl heaters In Castle Garden. her
face a picture OF mingled wondorment and
trouble. She had just come ashore with the
other storage passengers Of tho steamship
Greece from London. Sho was accompanied By
q rough man OF perhaps forty years. who pre-
tended to be her father. But when he gave his
name as Antonio Slcco the deception was dis
covered and he confessed that he was not the
girls father. The girl was taken before Super.
intenden Jackson and questioned. She said
that her fnther gave her to Sicco. and that he
gave her father some money 49,
Sicco said that ho was In this country In 1873.

he worked as gardener: that year ago no re-

way back 10 his former employer In Memphis.
for whom no had promised to get n girl for
housevprk. and that the little girl who accom-
panied him was to be paid about 30 francs. or
80 per month and was to repay him tho eI-
pense OF her passage in instalments. He added
that there are many Italian girls In Memphis.
and that they do not do much work. He denied
furthermore. that he had given the girls father
or any OF her relatives any money.
Until the italian Consul and others are heard

Driven by Compressed Air
An air car or pneumatic dummy, made
10y the Pneumatic Tramway Engine Co.. is run
ming regularly on the Second Avenue Railroad
track between Ninety-si1th and 129;h streets
The motive Is compressed air. An engine at
10th street pumps tho air car full as often as
required. The vehicle il capable OF carry ing
100 persons. Nothing OF the apparatus that
runs the car is visible. Six rolled steel cylin-
ders nre situated beneath two under tho seats
and four In nm enclosed place under the body OF
the car BY the engine At l26th street air Is
condensed into thom until 1t reaches pressure
Of $50 pounds to the square inch. The six
cylinders together hold l60 cubic foot OF air
The driver OF tho ear stands in front and manip-
uates pnir OF levers similar to those employed
in Il steam locomotive. He is not necessarily an
engineer: any one may learn the whole manip-
uatiOn Of the levers readily, Tho Air COM
pressed in the cylinders Is capable Of propellinG
the car for six miles. aud the speed may be reg
ulated up 20 thirty mi es an hour. The car can
be stopped almost inslananeOusy by tho
multiplication OF cylinders 1t Is feasible to make
trims Of any distance. The time required for
charging the cylinders dcpends wholly upon
the power Of the engine employed; the car that
ia running is charged in about six minutes No
smoke, Of course. and no noise greater than
that made by the ordinary horse car attend its
progress. The Second Avenue Company in .

In our style of climate, with its sudden
changes of tcmperature,-rain wind and

friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, half the
deaths resulting directly from this cause.
A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept
about your home for Immediate use will
prevent serious sickness, large doctor
bill. and perhaps death, by the use of
three or four doses. For curing Con

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites OF the toilet Is q good
article of Soap but to procure it is not always
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterious
materials and their delicate colorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repusiye I'M
purlties. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject are positively startling and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly II applied to the head injuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches. The
character of the Ingredients may be inferred from
the statement OF gentlemen who makes the scent
ing OF Soaps his business he recently declared that
persons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven TO ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last obv1ated, howeyery
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
B. T. Babbitt, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by Tar the greatest of the kind in the United
States The renown of Mr.. Babbitt's various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest Is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, MIR. Babbitt has succeeded IN perfecting the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
duced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original, and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department OF industry.
E"B. T. Rabbits Toilet Soap" is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated,
and for applications to the delicate skin of infants,
children and ladies, it s altogether unequaed in Ito
emo1lient properties This Soap is not perfumed
the Ingredients being of such absolute purity as to
require aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined. taste considers the
| absence of artificial perfume the perfection OF
sweetness, and this peculiar characteristic OF b. l.
Bahbitts Toilet Soap renders 1t the most healthfu
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufao
| tured
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children this Soap ls equally appropriate fol

It is also one of the finest soaps for barber slss

The Story Told by an Old Manuscript,

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Evening Post, writing from Winnipeg,
Manitoba, describes an old manuscript
written in 1913 by one of the mutt
neers who sent Hendrick Hudson and
eight of his crew adrift in an open
boat. They were never heard of more,
and for more than 200 years there has
been much speculation as to their fate.
The manuscript, written in a large,
firm hand, consisted of ten slips of pa
per, apparently torn from book, and
tied together for better preservation.
1t has been forwarded, together with
other relics, to the Office of the Hud-
sons Bay Company, in London. The
writer, Louis Marin, thus tells the
story of the mutiny:
One night, when we were in great
misery, stars fell from Heaven in count
less numbers, and we reioiced to think
for time that the end of the word had
come. Our Captain was gloomy all
the time, and the men often cursed him
in his hearing for bringing them to such
a pass Spring was very tardy in COM
ing. but when the ice field broke up we
thrust Hudson and the five blind sail
ors into the pinnace and told them to
90 ashore. We headed the ship out
that night, and in the morning the pin
mace had disappeared. became
afraid of the crew and of the ship, for
every night at midnight the ghosts of
the Captain and the five blind sailors
came aboard and troubled us sorely.
While was at my prayers one night
one of the ghosts told me to leave the
ship, and when we touched the coast
for water l ran away from it."
