Here is a curious thing, " said doctor,
as he walked through an Erie railroad
train the other day This smoking car
seats fifty persons, and yet there is sci.
dom a chance for a seat after the train
starts out Of New York. The men in this
car nave gone into the country at consid-
cradle expense and disadvantage for the
sake of their healths The only time they
spend at home is at night, and most of it
in their bedrooms in heated houses where
the air is very little different from that
in a city bedroom They spend from two
to four hours of the only leisure they
have in this car. where the air is so
vitiated with tobacco that though | am an
old smoker it makes me as sick in fifteen
minutes as did my first cigar 1t is safe
to say that the health of these men would
have been better guarded had they stayed
in town New York Sun.

Excited New York Brokers.

New YORK, Oct. 3.-The full force of
the Chicago wheat manipulations struck
the New York market this morning like a
thunderbolt. The market closed last
night for December at Ill and opened
at ia. May delivery from last nights
close at ll2, advanced to 1l44 on the first
movement. Everybody ran wild, and all
other interests on the floor were tempo
rarily neglected. December soon touched
ll7@, May 1903. Operators acted more
like Indians than civilized beings and the
general buying movement set in by all
parties, foreign houses included. There
was a generally expressed fear that De-
cember and October would be cornered by
Northeastern dealers, who are all bullish.
At 1:20 p. m. wheat stands at the highest
of the dav. with continued wiIdness in
trading. Everything here is all right,
with no failures.

machines are now in operation in the
United States. One of them will peg two
pairs of women's shoes per minute, cut
ting its own pegs from strips of white
birch at the same time. A thousand cords
of wood are cut into pegs every year in

Danseuse Behind the Scenes.

Now let US view the ballet from be-
hind the scenes. Here is a danseuse who,
with radiant smiles, passes from the
foyer, dashes on to the stage, which she
traverses in four revolving leaps, executes
a pas before the ~footlights, salutes the
public most winningly amidst a thunder
of applause, and turns to walk up the
stage toward the "wings." And the
moment that her back is turned to the
public the smile vanishes, her face be-
comes serious, her features are grimacing
and drawn with fatigue, and as she
passes US we see that she is painting for
breath and bathed in perspiration. And
by the time she has finished dancing she
will be so worn out that she will scarcely
have strength enough left to crawl up
stairs to her dressing room, where she
will need to be rubbed down and tended
like an overtaxed race horse. This is the
reality, the reverse of the medal.-Theo-
dore Child in The Cosmopolitan.

Her Pug Made Useful After Death.

One young couple who saw the Storm
ing of the ice fortress the other night was
not annoyed by the crowd. Some time
ago the young lady's favorite pug dog
died, and as a memento of the departed
she had its hide tanned She carried along
this skin to stand upon so that her feet,
which, by the way, are of generous
mold, should not become chilled by the
underlying ice and snow. This was found
impracticable, however, because of the
continued and violent movement of the
crowd. So the girl rolled up the skin and
held it in her arms SO that it closely re-
sembled a living pug. The young man
who escorted her is something of a ven
triloquist, and whenever some anxious
spectator began to elbow in their direction
he caused the counterfeit pup to utter q
snarl so terrible as to check the move
ment of the elbower. Soon the bystanders
acquired the idea that the pug was suffer
ing with hydrophobia, and left the young
deceivers extra standing room.-Albany

Considerable excitement as well
as interest is manifest throughout
the State over the discovery OF an
embalming process that is being put
into practical use by a Barbour
county man. The process is claim
ed to be as perfect as that of the

cover of this wonderful process is a
man by the name of q. Ii. Hamrick.
He has two bodies at the insane
ASYLUM which be embalmed nearly
three months ago, and it is said by
evewitnesses to the fact that they
are in perfect state of preservation,
and not the least bit of odor attach
es to the bodies. The Directors
have set aside small room for the
use of the inventor, whose discovery
is proving such success. Hamrick
is simply a farmer, without educa-
ton or scientific knowledge, yet is
seems he has fallen upon discov-
cry that promises to be one of the
most important events of the age,
He has been experimenting on vari-

success of his work, and now his
latest experiment with human bod
les seem to be equally as successful.

California stage proprietors are
said to soak all the wood work of
wagons and vehicles in oil before
putting the parts together. The oil
used is crude petroleum. If the
wood work cannot be soaked an APP
plication on the outside, using a
brush, once in eight weeks is excel
lent. The method is said to prevent
the wood from swelling or shrinking,
and saves much valuable time as
their is less repairing.
