RE witty English Dean WIG, wi len
asked Why he always travelled third
class on his railway Journeys, replied,
because there is no fonrth,' would
find himself in good company in these
days, :,when the number Of third GLASS
| passengers in England is, five timer in
| excess of that Of the first and second
| class travellers put together. \ parlia
mentary return just issued shows that
there has been large fall ling off in NUM-
berS Of first and second class passengers
since 1873, Notwithstanding the great
| development of the railway system
while the thirdclass traffic has increased
to a remarkable extent In 1873 the
number of the latter carried was 335, 1881
| and in 1880 it was 5S8 1922 $50. In con-
| more attention to this class Of travellers.
Egypt is pretty Well supplied with
newspapers. There are in Alexandli,
three dailies in French, two in Arabic,
| two in Italian and one each inGreek and
/ English, .s with circ1lat ions, running 40
5000. There are also six Weeklies two
in French, two in Arabic, one in italian
| and one III English. Cairo, with its pop-
ulation of 900, has but two dailies
| both in French, and four weeklies. OF
the latter, Egyptian Events, in Arabic, is
| the. government organ, and has q circll-
lati0n Of 10000. At Port Said there are
two French weeklies, and Suez, Isn,ailia
and some other places have feeble apol,

in France it frequently happens that
{. murderer is not only sentenced tc
death, but reqai. ed to pay a heavy fine
to the relations of his victim. These
| fines are inflicted by the judges A few
| years ago man named Armand, Of
Bordeaux, was tried for attempting f.
murder his servant: The jury acunitted
| him, but the bench, having their doubts
about the matter, sentenced him to pay
10000 francs to the servant, and the
court Of Cassadon upheld the curious de
cision. Prince Pierre Bonaparte, whel
acquitted Of the murder Of Victor Noir
the journalist, in 1870, Was made to pay
$4,000 francs damages to his victim:
mother. Only few months ago a man
who killed another in duel was obliged
to pay his antagonists widow 1000
besides undergoing Il years imprison
| ment.
