gathered himself together, held up the

the money out and put il in his pocket,

on the curb and examined the cars

Railroad Etiquette.

A correspondence Our Dumb Ami
mails tells the following good stories
Of railroad etiquette:
We have just read an amusing story
of a nervous little man entering a car
with a parcel, around which was a
rubber strap. He began swapping the
strap to the great discomfort OF all his
neighbors, regardless OF the annoyance
they clearly manifested. The man in
the seat in front Of him left the a
Then he turned over the back and put
his feet on the scat and kept on snap
ping. Presently a big German on the
other side got up, walked over, poked
the little man in the ribs with his
finger and said: Mammals little baby
shall have a plaything. II shall have
a little rattle and a little doll" The
passengers cheered, ard the snapper
got out Of the a a. quickly as he
could.
This story reminds US Of what we
saw on the Boston and Albany rail
road some time since. Tie car was
full. Two dudes turned the back Of a
seat and sat facing each other, occu-
pying four seats. Two young ladies
came in. The dudes looked at each
other and laughed, intending 10 make
the ladies take seats beside them. The
ladies, mortified and blushing. stood
in the aisle. mamomnnt a large, stern
looking man, weighing apparently 200
pounds or more, who was seated q
little ways back on the other side,
strobe across the car, seized the dude
facing him by the collar, and sent him
like a rocket 10 the side Of his compan-
ion. Then turning the bark of the
front scat he bowed and said Ladies,
there's a seat for you. The cheering
Of the passengers was something worth
going ten miles 10 hear, and the two
dudes were, for the rest of the trip, as
quiet a couple as one would wish to

H. cod stor,. An,hnw.

A well known New Yorker has had
an adventure which discounts by TO-

American coas, with 2 party Of com.

tire ships company-a merry crew
had devoted their odd hours in sing

no opportunities. and taught the bird
all the seafaring lingo, and a few more
or less elegant explosives besides.
When the exploring party had hidden
the bird and the sailors good by they
plunged into the heart of the tropical
forest. After twenty-cight miles OF
mortal effort they reached their camp
ing place for the night. Just Is the
sun was going down they were startled
TO hear in the primeral silence n
familiar voice calling down from the
top Of a tall palm, 'Avast there! 70,

A People Of the Caucasus.

Each community is made up Of sSv-
eral villages. originally consisting
each Of members Of theSsamo family
or gems, but nov including several
families. Members of the same family
can not intermarry. Women and
pasturage rights have been occasions
Of many feuds and vendettas. When q
woman changed hands, or husbands,
tho parties concerned could not always
agree on the value in cattle-the Suan-
etians had no money-of the lady ex
changed. Hence arose assaultsof per
IONS and batteries of towers. The
affairs Of the hamlet, 30 far as they
were not settled by appeals 10 arms
were regulated by an assembly OF
adult males, in which unanimity was
required for a valid decision. The
foreign relations Of the Suanetians con.
sisted, for tho most part, in predatory
excursions into their neighbors' past
. They were arrant sheep stealcrs
and cattle lifters Strangers met with
no hospitality. On the contrary, II
was the custom 10 exact a payment
from them for passage, and tho custom
still survives in petty demands made
for hating IN a remote village. The
Suanctians may fairly be described as
reverted pagans. Some Christian rites
-.fasting in lent, and the use OF tie
sign OF the cross-they have doubtless
preserved. But these survivals seem
10 me no more 10 entitle them 10 the

London Life.
Everybody knows that the Princess
Louise is not mere amateur dabbler,
but a real artist in sculpture, and the
statue of the queen, on which she is
engaged, and which is to be erected
in Kensington gardens, between the
palace and the round pond, will GER
tainly be as daring in design as it
will be novel. 1t is intended to rep
resent her majesty as she appeared on
the memorable morning in June, 1887,
when it was announced to her that
she was queen of England. 1t will
be mbered-Sir George Hayter's
picture has commemorated it-that
upon the occasion the Princess Vic
toria appeared in the scantiest of at,
tire-a mere robe de mutt with shawl
hastily flung oyer it. Rumor has it
that the Princess Louise is succeed
ing in giving to this decidedly uncon-
ventional attire the appearance of
quite classical drapery.
