The Hoosier Of the Past.

The Hoosier is no longer the
picturesque creature he was years ago.
There is no more homespun clothing.
Ready-made clothing has penetrated

detected by his sun burned face and
swing OF his arms. AS to the young
women from the small towns. they can
only be identified by their fresh, bloom.
ing compilations and bright eyes.
In the matter of styles they are fully
up to their sister OF the larger cities;
in fact, the bellies of small towns are
often familiar with New York fashions
long before they become general in St.
Louis, this being due to the fact that
the town dressmaker closely follows
the plates in the fashion paper as soon
as novelties are presented. -Globc.

How Turkish Harems Arc Filled.

''The polygamous Turkish Beys and
Agas. whose hitherto regular supply
of Circassian girls from the Caucasus
has been cut off from them since the
annexation of the province by Russia,
have recourse now to bold system of
rape. They swoop down upon an
Armenian village, with their armed
acoytes, and carry off to their harems,
by main force, as many good-looking
girls and women as they can lay hands
on. This is permitted to them; and
the modus operandi by which the
abduction OF Armenian girls is render
ed legal by the Moslem judges may be
summed up as follows: When the rela-
tives present themselves in court to
claim the abducted victim, the ravish-
ers are ready with q brace of Moslem
witnesses 600 could be produced If
wanted, who declare on oath that the
kidnapped woman pronounced in their
presence the regular formula OF the
Moslem faith There is no God but
God, and Mohammed is his Prophet
The judge thereupon dismisses the
case on the ground that the stolen and
ravished girl has by that profession
abjured her former faith and embraced
Mohammedanism. And the verdict of
these upright judges is not to be set

Brazilizian Morning Glory.

that if l had II great place that l
wanted covered up with vines in u
few days. l should get Brazilian
morning glory. This spring l set u
tn ree-inch plant ten feet from a large
pecan tree. AS the weather was very
dry, left it there till / could get u
frame made. Sorrow became our
guest oil the spring, and the vine was
uncared for; it crept on the ground to
the pecan tree and the latter part Of
May it began blooming near tie ground
and upwards; now the whole pecan
tree is a mass OF vines flowers and
curious seed-pods. l asked 'that hus-
band of mine" how tall that pecan
tree is? He answered, '.45 feet" SO
you have some idea of the immensity
of the vine. Many of the leaves are q
foot across, scolloped like grape leaves;
the flowers are about 3 inches across,
narrower in the throat than common
morning glories, and are deep, rosy
purple shading to mauve. The seed
pods are unlike anything l have ever
seen; they are in clusters, branching
like claws. a dark, shining. waXy seed
pod, half an inch in circumfer renee at
the end of each claw, generally about
fifteen pods to each bunch. The seeds
when ripe are dark brown, nearly
black, with n tiny silk band around
each seed, four seed to II pod; in shape,
like moon flower seed.
The Brazilian morning glory, vine
and leaf, is covered with short. red
brown, soft hairs, that, with the pe-
culiar seed-pods. give it an interesting
appearance. Insects do not injure

An Important Experiment.

The Hungarian government is about to
make an experiment in the transporta-
ton of passengers by rail, which viii be
carefully watched by all Interested in
railroad management. For the purposes
OF the new tariff the whole country has
been divided into two local and fourteen
general zones, and according to these the
fares vary. The first local zone COM
prises neighbOring localities, irrespective
of distance; the second, those next but
one to each-6ther also regardless of dis
lance. The fares in the first local zone are
for first-class u cents, and in the second
local zone l6 cents, this covering dis
tances of fifteen and even twenty miles.
In this way, BY zones, the fares go on
increasing until the fourteenth zone is
reached, which comprises all distances
beyond 225 kilometres-tha is, sub
stantialIy, over one hundred and forty
miles. Beyond this, provided one starts
from the capital, Buda-Pesth, the rates
OF fare do not increase so long as the
traveller continues TO Hungary. If,
however, his journey takes him to Buda-
Pesth and from there to some
other point in the kingdom, the
fares both to and from that point are
charged; but on a single trip from the
capital, as, for example, from Buda-
Pesth to Brasso, in Pennsylvania, a dis
lance of more than four hundred and
fifty miles, the rate of fare is the same
as if the traveller stopped at the end of
40 miles; that is, in one case, as IN the
other, it Is SO. To show the effect of this
change in. reducing the rates Of fare, 1t
may be pointed out that the rate from
Buda-Pesth to Fiume has hitherto been
81 florins, or about fifteen dollars. In
the future it will be only eight horins, or
about three dollars.
The theory is that this change in rates
viii increase travel to an extent sufficient
to make it pay.

COLOR BLINDNESS.
Why Railroad Employees are Examined for
Tt-Nct = Severe Test.

Why Railroad Employees are Examined for
It-Nct = Severe Test.
The examination of railroad employees
for color blindness is an innovation in the
business. Since public attention has
been attracted TO this peculiar affliction
it has been found to be widespread, and
1t is believed serious railroad accidents
have been caused by engineers or switch
men being unable to distinguish the
colOrs of signals.
The examinations of the railroad men
are not conducted with the particularly
which is used il testing the eyes of school
children. There is no comparing of
shades of color which almost blend into
each other. The only colOTs which the
railway employee must know are red,
green, black and white but there must be
no uncertainty about those. The sig
nails which he must use are of these col
ors. and beyond them the railroad
company does not press Its Investigations.
1t has been shown by practical expert
ence that man will sometimes lose the
power of distinguishing these cOlors tenn
pOrarily. II he can have rest and change
in the use Of his eyes for time he will re-
cover and often never be troubled again.
The causes Of this disease. for disease it
Is, are not thoroughly understood, but it
seems certain that exposure, overworking
the eyes and the glare of gaslight con-
tribute TO it.
Railway companies are inclined TO be
lenient with men thus afflicted, and usu-
ally allow them a vacation and give them
q second trial afterward before discharg-
ing them. 1t Is recognized as a COM
plant for which they are in nowise re-
sacpgibi& If Il second trial, however,

Evolution in Car Building.

The common custom Of rigging up re-
turn box and cattle cars to the West so
that coal may be shipped in them has
compelled the necessity OF providing a
car that may be unloaded of its anthra-
cite without the use Of shovel or scoop.
Such car has been invented by a Balti-
more coal operator and handler, and
combines the advantages OF { box car,
gOndola and hopper in one. This car is
made IN three sections or parts on solid
frame. Each hopper carries fifteen and
One-third tons Of coal or forty tons to the
car. The hopper is raised from the trunk
by suitable machinery TO such an eleva-
ton or angle as TO allow the contents to
be discharged without shoveling by plGc-
ing a schultz under the opening at the
bottom of the hopper. Il is also Tro-
vided with sliding doors on Il slanting
roof, thus making it water tight. The
car is built Of iron and is the most eco
nOmical that can be used for the pur-
pose. II is one Of the greatest improve
ments IN the matter of handling coarse
freights, and il would seem to recon-
mend itself strongly to coal and grain
handlers alike. - Scranton Truth.
