Her Husband was on the same Train
Yes, said veteran conductor. "a
great many women do flirt on the cars.
! suppose that time hangs heavily on
their hands during long journey. and
they hardly know what to do with them
selves. Under the circumstances it Is
quite natural for them to fall into con-
versation with their fellow travellers Of
the opposite sex. and, having made a
beginning. ii il very easy for them TO
become silly. Let me tell You about
the worst case Of flirting ever saw.
1t was about two years ago. down in
Ohio. On my train was young wo-
man dressed in deep mourning. and ut
the beginning Of her journey having a
heavy black veil over her face. She
was apparently of Il lively disposition
a cheerful soul. always disposed to look
on the bright side of life and TO make
the best even of unfavorablc circum-
stances-and it was not long before she
removed the veil. Soon afterward she
began looking around at her fellow
passengers, and in m hour or two |
saw her in animated conversation with
a handsome young drummer from Chi
cago. They talked and laughed and
exchanged cards. and really grew quite
fond Of each other, and. for all know,
made arrangements to carry on COR
respondcnce. This was bad enough in
itself, but what made it all the worse
was the fact that the woman's husband
was on the same train, ahead in the
baggage car.
The baggage agent?'
No, he was in 4 long pine box in
charge Of the baggagemaster.

The Lunario lsraelitico Of Leghorn

The entire number in the peninsula
(even including the Italia-irredenta) is
1880, or about one per cent. of all the
Jews in Europe. Italy has much fewer
Jews than the single city Of Vienna. In
Trieste the bulk Of the Israclite COM

Patent Medicines In England.

The English Board of Inland Re-
venue observe that 1.-THE increase under
the head of Patent Medicine Stamps is
considerable as usual, and shows how
these medicines continue to gain in
public favor" This may be subject
for congratulation by the inland Re-
vcnue,' says the British Medical
Journal, '.but it may well be doubted
how far the growing habit Of the popu-
lation to resort to these quack remedies
Is beneficial to the nation at large.
Twenty years ago there were only
1850 patent medicine vendors in the
kingdom, and only. 7,5OO,O 900 OF labels
were issued. yielding 100000 to the
revenue. In ten years morc-viz, in
l876-the vendors had increased to
1902. and nearly 100000 of labels
were issued, yielding fl23,OOO. Now
here are 20, 279 vendors and Fl 100000
labels were issued during last year,
Welding an income to the Government
of fl79,OOO. Obviously the efforts
made to induce the Government to
place the preparation and sale Of patent
medicines under better regulations are
terribly handicapped by the supposed
danger Of losing this very profitable
and growing source of revenue

How Far Can We See.

The question has arisen in scientific
circles. how far an object in the earth 5
surface is visible to the human eye.
One sayant declares that he saw 4
mountain in Sumatra when distant one
hundred and ten English miles, and at
another time he saw peak in Java
when one hundred and eighty miles
away. Different observers have re-
corded the fact that Mount Blanc can
be distinctly seen from points one hum
dred and ten miles distant. A traveller
in Greenland beheld mountain from
which he was separated by one hum
dred and fifty miles: and Mount Can't
gon has been seen from Marseilles,
France, distance Of one hundred and
fifty EIGHT miles. The whole range Of
the Swiss Alps has been seen by Sir J..
Heppitley when two hundred miles
away. while Sir William Jones afflrms
that he once saw the Himalayas at the
distance of two hundred and forty-four
miles. The range of vision depends of
course OH the state of the atmosphere
and the altitude of the observer. In
the clear, rareticd air of high attitudes,
like some parts Of Colorado for exam
pie, traveller may be greatly deceived
by the apparent nearness OF mountain
or other object which he thinks but a
few hours away. bnt whieh on trial he
is not able t, j ! days journey.

And manhood, with thousand caress
Perceiyes it not, and unawarcs

a COnyict's Race for Life.

Henry Estes. white convict. was
brought to Birmingham, Ala. from
Blount Springs quarries, to be taken
to Jefferson county to stand trial for
horse stealing. Estes had been sent to
the Blount quarries for sixty days. and
his sentence expired Saturday night.
Saturday morning he made bold dash
for liberty. knowing that he would be
taken to Jefferson county Saturday
night. He was working OH the top of
the limestone quarry, which is one
thousand feet perpendicular at any
one point. The rock stands out a few
feet. enough to hide a man from view,
which he slipped behind and crawled
on his all-fours the distance of two
hundred yards. pulled up the distance
Of two hundred feet by his hands and
teeth. holding to slender bushes. He
was compelled to suspend himself in
the air several times and at one time
he held on by his teeth to small sap
ling. because his hands were so blistered
When we reached the top he was ex-
hauSted. and laid down to rest. He
was awakened by the yelp Of the blood
hounds, who were looking for his trail,
which they had found. but could not
follow up the cliff. He got start, and
ran like 4 deer over the mountain roads
and through gullies and on up cliffs.
He elnded the hounds, and was climb
| ing over the limestone cliff of Jack
Blanket Mountain, twelve miles dis
tant. when he looked across on the
other mountains. distance of three
miles. and saw Messrs. James Hanley
and VIM. King on horseback, riding at
full speed. with six bloodhounds, fol-
lowing his trail. He ran on and
climbed tree. He was discovered BY
the dogs baying at the roots Of it.
