The man who must go out at the end
OF every act, anyway.
The man who puts his hat on the next

and his valise and umbrella in the next
empty seat south, and keeps them there
until the passenger needing seat asks
him to remove them.
The chronic colloquial interrupter who
breaks in on our half-fnished sentence
with some remark foreign to the subject.
The other man who takes ten times
the number of words necessary to tell
his story.
The bungling man who sits sideways

The man who "opens or closes his car
window without the care or apprehen-
sion concerning the pleasure of others
sitting by it.
The man who will occupy the other

A "TroubIe-Man's {" Life.
(From the Philadelphia Times.l.


The life of telegraph company s line
man is a laborious and dangerous one
and at times entails great hardship and
exposure. In Philadelphia the Western
Union Company have five men whose
duty is to repair damages to the line in
or within few miles of the city. One
of these is George Riley, who went to
sea for eleven years of his life and who
has been in the employ of the company
for the past fifteen years. In speaking Of
accidents in telegraph life he said:
"There is some danger, of course, in
line work, but as rule it can be avoid
ed if one Is cool-headed and careful.
The trouble with most men is that when
they get accustomed to climbing they
become careless and reckless and some
times get bad falls. The only man of
our line that has been killed in my time
was thrown to the ground by the breaking
of cross-bar. There are very narrow
escapes, though. have climed pole
that thought was good and sound and
found when near the top that it was
soft and rotten. Once I fell about
twelve feet, and only saved myself from
falling to the ground by grabbing some
wires. In Philadelphia the company
has about fifty poles that are from
seventy to 100 feet high. Formerly we
used to climb these like the rest, but of
late years the monsters are fitted with
iron steps, and going up them is nearly
as easy as walking up stairs. The steps
were adopted because the poles are
valuable and the climbing made holes in
them and caused them to be exposed to
the weather. One of these poles is
eighty feet high. Formerly we had
either to climb this or to get to it from
the roof The Jump from the mansard
roof to the fourth cross-bar was fully
five feet and the cross-bar, seventy feet
above the ground, was only three and
a half inches broad. You can imagine
that this was small foothold for such
jump, and yet we never missed it. The
jump back to the roof was somewhat
more dangerous, there being space of
only sixteen inches to land on and
wall to bump against. took the jump
several times, but liked it less and less
at every Jump.
"The best and boldest climber know
is Dick Penn, of Baltimore. He hos
climbed old poles that broke under him,
but, like a cat, he always falls on his
feet. He doesn't use any monkey
wrench, as others do, in getting out the
two-and-seven- eighths-inch bolts that
fasten the ..cross- bars to the pole, but
pulls them out or kicks them out. A
climbers outfit is generally pair of
climbing-irons, pair of nippers to
break wire with and section of wire
say ten pounds. have seen Penn
climb forty-fve.foot pole with 100
pounds ofwire thrown over his shoulder.
James Grace, also line-man, was the
only other man who could climb with
this weight.
They call us at the Office trouble
men, for whenever there is anything
wrong on the line we are sent to fix it. !"

lief can be given, the animal will die.
Every farmer should know how to
tap" the paunch to let the gas es-
cape. If no other means are at hand,
insert sharp pen-knife about half way
between the last rib and the hip and
eight inches below the level of the line
Of the back, the point tending some
what downward. This opening will al
low the gas to pass off and the wound
will soon heal. A better instrument,
and one that every stockman should
have, is the trochar, made for this pur-
pose. This consists of sharp pointed
steel pin, about six inches long, having
tube (canula) which covers all but the
point When the pin is inserted, the
tube follows it and remains, forming
means OF exit for the gas in the paunch.
Food should be light for few days
after such an operation. .-Ameracen

Unhappy Spain.


A French paper publishes list of the
risings which have taken place in Spain
since the year 1914 In that year there
was q rising in Catalonia; in 1915
guerrilla insurrection at Corruna; in
1919 military conspiracy at Cadiz,
which was followed by revolution e1-
tending over the whole OF Spain. In
1922 there were riots, accompanied by
much bloodshed, at Cadiz: an absolut-
ist rising in Navarro and Catalonia; and
street fights at Madrid. In 1928 the
French, under the Due d'Angouleme,
marched into the country to suppress
the insurrection, Notwithstanding which
there were another military revolt in
1925 at Brihuega and further absolutlst
risings IN Catalonia and Aragon in 1927.
The constitutionalists rose against the
government in 1880; and in 1888, after
the death OF King Ferdinand, began the
first Carlist war. In 1884 and 1885
there were risings at Madrid, Saragossa.
Seville, and Barcelona, against the cler-
gy; several hundreds of monks we're
murdered and twenty monasteries burn
ed. In 1887 military instructions broke
out at Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Ca
diz, Valencia, Carthagena, Seville,
Xeres, and San Ildefonso, and in 1888
at Bilbao, Pampeluna and Irun. In
1S4O Espartero made pronunciamiento
at Barcelona, which was followed by
the bombardment of that town and
military revoltat Madrid. Risings took
place against Espartero at Barcelona in
the following year; and in 1S43 Allcant
and Murcia broke out into instruction.
The conscript laws caused risings in
Catalonia in lS45, in the provinces of
Galicia and Leon in 1916, and at Ma
drid in 1S4S, when the Basque provinces
proclaimed Don Carlos king of Spain.
The second Carlist war, under Cabrera,
lasted from l849 to 1858. In 1854 re.
bellion broke out in Saragossa under
Cocha; the troops at MIrid revolted
under O'Donnell, and disturbances
took place at Cuepca, Valladolid and
Barcelona. Further riots occurred at
Madrid, Valencia, and Sarsgossa in
1855; and in 1850 there was a revolution
under General Ortega. In 1866 great
military rising took place at Madrid, in
consequence of which Gorilla, CASTELAR,,
and Sagasta, (the present minister, J
were sentenced to death. Prim began
his revolution in Catalonia in 1867, and
it was followed by the fight Of the
queen in 1868. The third Carlist war
lasted from 1878 to 1877, since which
there has not been any rising un-
til the other day.
