How a Young Lady's Foot Blocked {
 Railroad.

A young lady took car which brought her to the foot of California street, and there took seat on the dum- my car, which bore her to the vicinity of her home on OctavIa street. As she left the car and was crossing the track on the southern side, her foot slipped and turned and was caught fast in the track where the wire cable passes. Some imperfection in the roadbed had caused the narrow aperture to expand, and the young girls narrow foot was intrapped. The engineer oi the east-bouud dummy saw the obstacle on the road in season to check his swift-approaching car, and alighted with the conductor and several passengers of inve. tigatiEg mInd, who endeavored to release the slender foot, but their efforts were vain. Another car and another brought up in funeral row, and constant re-enfoi cements in the way of passing pedestrians cheered ,tnd enlivened the scene. An attempt was made to pry the iron rails forming the able channel further apart, but they iImly resisted all efforts. Everybody rad suggestion: Push your tooc onward Pull 1t back ;" Hip lt ,ideways;" Lift your heel higher. '" lhe unhappy girl was almost fainting, out she pereevered ill her efforts to ex- yricate the offending member. By thls me travel on. the road had virtually ceased. The Inst car had long ago passed, and was steadily approaching to ,all into line at the Fear oI the singular procession. Downtown passengers fret ed and fumed, or sl-wiy climbed the i'll in disgust. On every street corner ,roups of waiting people berated the taxity of street-car management. Re porters from all the dJSn-towI dailles were proceeding westward to learn the meaning of the large crowd reported t. nave assembled in tine Western addition. From the scene of the accident envoys nad been dispatched to the railroad shops to bring appliances for taking uI d section of the road. At thls juncturt tall, brawny Englishman, in the dress of mechanic, forced his way through the throng, and, in a cheery voice marked by the Derbyshire dialect, asked
 "Ha' ye tried oniastenin' the young leddy's shoe?"

Ayersions of Appetite.

Dr. Oswald calls attention, in the Popular Science Monthly, to the fact tnat all antipathy to special dish indi- cates the presence of constitutional re- pugnance, which it is not wise to disre- gard. He says
 knew Belgian soldier on whom common salt, in any combination, and any dose exceeding ten pennyweights, icted as drastic poison, and thousands ot Hindoos cannot taste animal food without vomiting.
 Similar effects have obliged individu- als to abstain from onions, sage, parsnips end even from Irish potatoes. Dr. Pereira mentions the case of an English boy who had an incurable aversion to mutton:
 "Hc could not eat mutton in any form. The pecuiiarity was supposed to be wing to caprice, but the mutton was re- peatedly disguised and given to him un- .nown; but uniformly with the same esuit of producing violent vomiting and iiarrhea.
 "And from the severity of the effects, which were in fact those of Q virulent |, poison, there can be little doubt that, if heTse of mutton had been persisted in, would soon have nS, e destroyed the boys le"
 We know @ lady whose missionary york in Burrnah has attracted the atten- .ion of English-speaking people, who ;ould not eat rice. On e when she was visiting ill England, her hostess, think. ng the aversion mere whim, put 2 tablespoonful of ice in the soup though the soup was strained before eng served, and not grain of rice wa: be seen ill if, yet the moment the lady asted it she exclaimed, "Oh, there. ice in this soupl" and was obliged t, cave the table.

GeraulumS.

For constancy of bloom the geranium is unequaled. Small plants, that can. be bought very c cap, if rut out iu May, will completely fill a bed in three weeks after planting, and early in June will be a mass of flowers, and continue getting better and better until blackened by the frosty nights of autumn. While other plants are wilting under the scorching rays of our summer sun, the geraniura seems to glory in the hottest weather There is such 6 variation in the color of the flower, as we'll as in the form and color of the leaves, that with a few vari- cities of geranlums more artistic and varied bed can be made than with almost any other flower. The center of large bed may be scarlet, with light colors around, or a few rows on the border may be of the silver-leaved kinds. Indeed, Ne have seen delicate and intricate pat terms formed of geraniums alone nssome of the celebrated gardens of Europe.

Evil Fife is of the Electric Light.

An unexplained objection to the cleo tric light arises from its alleged evil eff fects on the eyes. European observers state that the frequent variations in in- t'nsity to which the light is subject give rise to su iden and frequent changes in the pupil, and, consequently, in the accommodation of the eye, by which is meant that alternate contraction and dilation of the pupil by which it suits itself to the variations of light Such light, therefore, causes not only muscu- lar fatigue, but also considerable de- gree of blurring and indistinctness in the retinal image. The eye suffers both when the light is too dim and when it is too blight. In the former case the oo- iect must be b ought close to be clearly seen. and an increased accommodatiye et1ort is called for. which in most cases results in nearsightedness. In the lat Ter case, the simple intensity of the ieht produces undue contraction of the plpil, and an increase of tension within he eye.

The Sulphur Slaves of Sicily.

The sulphur is extracted and brought to the surface by human beings, and, indeed, fly by children. Mrs. Brownings "Cry of the Children might have been written in the sulphur mines of Sicily. Hundreds and hun.reds1 of children, who have scarcely the form of human beings, are sent down the steep, slippery stairs into the muddy, watery depths. Here they are laden with as much mater al as they can sus- tain, and they must reascend with 1t on heir backs, stumbling at every step, often >talhng back into the bottom of the pit with broken limbs, or even deasu fhe elder ones, writes an eyewitness, arrive at the pits mouth shrieking, the little ones crying and sobbing.
 The mortality exceeds that of any -other province of Italy; the statistics of the lev. show an incredible number of lame and deforno1i,, and of young men of 21 totally unfit for mr;tary service.

Is Consumption Contagious 2

It is surprising to some American wis., itors to European hospitals to find that consumptive patients are kept in de- pertinent by themselves, while the same care for separating is not exhibited in regard to diseases deemed more conta- gious on this side of the ocean. Yet the conviction that pulmon ny diseases are infectious is gaining strength among American physicians, and it is note- worthy fact that the fathers of medicine, Hippocrates and Galen, inclined strong ly to that opinion. The same pellet has been entertained all along by many prominent physiolngists and anatomists. Consumption often arises from eating of the meat of animals with diseased lungs, and actual experiment has shown that when different animals have been fed on asedlungsof COW, they have been attacked by pulmonary disease. A rig i'd supervision of all meats sold, and a thorough system of ventilation in hous- es, and especially in hospitals where consumptives are treated. seem to be the best preventives against the ac- qu;rement and communication of the malady.

 English people in India are seldom robbed, though for half the year the doors of the bungalows in which they live are left wide open, for the sake of coolness, all night long. The chief reason Is that the articles in the house are so different from those in use among the natives themselves that the attempt 1 to dispose of them would at once attract suspicion. A thief in India trying to sell a spoon or fork would be like an En- glish thief trying to dispose of an altar l cloth or rare gem. Another reason is, that every householder keeps a chokedar or private watchman, though it is not 1 the personal prowess or vigilance of this often very aged man that potects you-he himself being a thief by caste or profession, and his salary forming the blackmail you pay source of protection. The native thief with his bare legs is especially afraid oi them. A good many robberies, how. ever, take pace when people are march ing about the country during the colo weather.

A Delicate Subject.

A church dignltary, whose jurisdic- tion embraced vast region of the West, and afforded several kinds of climate. was greeted by clerical friend with no end of questions as they were riding up town in crowded car. Inquiries spirit ual were poured in at @ rapid rate, and then the matter of his temporal enyiron- ment was the subject of discussion The Western shepherd was speaking of the extremes of temperature to which they were subjected In the district where ne resided. Suddenly his New York friend asked, "How does Your wife stand the heat 2"
 A peculiar lcok stole into the counte- nance of the ecclesiastic from beyond the Mississippi as he quietly answered, My wife has been dead year."
 The infelicity of mentioning an ele- vated temperature in connection with the departed was too much for the Knickerbocker He left at the noxt corner.-Harper's Draocer.

Eren Burglars Are Rushed.

"Why," he replied to cop, "I never saw so much push and rush in Detroit since the war, and pr, sume it is so all over the country. The boom even ex- tends to my profession, which you are aware Is that of burglary. I haven't been so rushe in ten years. have ad- vertised in dozen papers for 'pal, but can't get one at any price. Third class men, only fit to put up ladders, hold lighted candles, pound with a sledge, and swear an ahbi, are getting their own prices this year. The two I had struck for $7 day apiece, and I had to pay 1t or let my business go to ruin. You have no idea of the number of chances we have had for jobs this year, and the season is promising all that any burglar could ask for. I am so pushed that hardly know which way to turn first
 Anything very big on hand?"
 Oh dozen of 'em. l ought to go up Woodward avenue to night and rob a house where two back, windows have been left up for whole week, but I may net get around to it because one of my pals is dead drunk ill his room up- stairs. Then there's splendid show down Fort street. Two of the back doors won't lock, some of the chamber windows are unfasiened, and there's half cord of silverware piled up in one room. Duty tells me that I ought to take it ln right away, but something may prevent. Dear me, but I wish l could Lire at least three tirst-class burg lars for the next six weeks. I've got a special lay for them"
 Anything startling?".
 "Well, no. There's bank in Toledo we could get at very handy, jewelel over in Chicago who aches to be robbed, and know of farmer out here few miles who has S3,U00 in gold in the 1 house. If I had two good men I could | gather in at least $50, 900 within the next ten days; but this boom has taken me all aback. l need two full sets of burg lar tools right off, but my blacksmith Ii rushed with other work, and must delay me. I went yesterday to sec about wigt and whiskers, and found dozen orders ahead of me"
 "It's unfortunate
 "Wvll, should say so l! It just make. my heart ache to know that scores O back Goors are unlocked, hundreds 0 windows left open, heaps of silver ant jewelry left kicking around, and here am so fixed that can't half push busi ness. I'm nervous and uneasy, but can't mend matters as I see. If yol | happen to come across tirst-class hall | thief and a pair of professional cracks men, wish you'd send 'em to me. IT guarantee the very highest wages ane steady employment for the season. "- Detroit Free Press.
