And Then They Smiled,

. They met in horse car, two young wo,
men, whose tawny faces showed that they
were just back from the seashore, and when
they had kissed and embraced and been
through all the preliminary nonsense neces-
sary to the occasion, one said to the other:
"Oh, you dear thing! had such firta-
ton with your husband while you were
down east. He came down to Nantasket al
most every night"
"Yes, he wrote me about it," the other re-
turned sweetly. HE said you didn't seem
TO know anybody and were SO lonely he
quite pitied you"
HE was always SO Kind to neglected
girls" the first speaker murmured You
know they said when you were married that
he would have taken all the wall flowers if
he could, he was SO generous"

Employees of the Railroads.

The employees Of the railroads are world
within themselves, having griefs ambitions,
hopes and rewards that are familiar, and yet
they are divided into little worlds of their
own. For instance, young man entering
the clerical department lives to become a
chief clerk, an auditor, treasurer, or other
fiscal officer The locomotive fireman be-
comes in time an engineer. The freight
brakeman expects to become freight con-
ductor, and the freight conductor looks for
ward to the day when he will runa passenger
train. The passenger brakeman readily be-
comes freight conductor. The engineer ex-
poets some day to be master mechanic. The
passenger conductor may become a master
of transportation. The switchman develops
into a yardmaster, and then perhaps a di-
vision superintendent. The lines are broadly
drawn. The instances of men rising from
the brakes to the superintendency and presi-
dency of the road, as did A. A. Talmage, are
so few as to be notable.-Passenger Agent in

A Plea for the Cio.r,

An Albany physician, who Is something of
an investigator, says that sno.lng is not good
for any man SO far as his physical condition
is concerned; that it is only good TO relieve
mental depression; that it docs 50 simply by
dlverting a mans mind from himself and
from objects that worry Lin "Eotling,r
said he, requires more devotion to it for its
enjoyment than cigar. 1t is not the taste
of tobacco that one enjoys. 1t is looking at
the smoke, inhaling and smelling it, and
knocking off the ashes. All these things
divert the mind, and SO drive dull care

The Earth's Ancient Vegetation.

Remains from coal beds prove that the
ferns, of which several thousand species are
known, constituted very important part of
the earth's earlier vegetation. They are
still abundant, especially in moist tropical
regions. In the Antilles they comprise about
one-tenth of the vegetation; in Oceanica, one

The people of London spend yearly

The Hanging of Edward A. Deacons at
Rochester, N. Y.

The Hanging of Edward A. Deacons at
Rochester, N. Y.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, July TO- Edward A.
Deacons was hanged at 10:40 o'clock this
morning, and his neck was broken by the
fall. Edward Alonzo Deaoons was exc
cuted for the murder of Mrs. Ada Stone,
at East Rochester, on the evening of Au-
gust 16, 1887. The husband of the victim
upon returning home from work that
night found the dead body of his wife in
the cellar, with flour sack drawn tightly
around her neck. Her head was covered
with wounds made by some sharp instru-
ment.
The alarm was at once given, but no
trace of the murderer could be found.
Late that night a tramp was arrested at
Canandaigua, who gave the name OF
Sheldon, as all suspicious characters were
being arrested 10 hopes of getting the
murderer. The Rochester police were
notified of the arrest. Sheldon, or
Deacons, as he proved to be, was taken to
Buffalo, and few days later made a con-
fession to the chief of police and district
attorney. Notwithstanding his confession,
when placed on trial Deacons pleaded not
guilty, but he was found guilty of murder
in the first degree.
Deacons has at no time shown any
signs of fear or repentance for his crime,
which was committed because Mrs. Stone
refused to give him food. Deacons slept
none last night, but ate hearty break
fast this morning, after which he chatted
in careless manner with his callers, but
abused any newspaper man who appeared.
