The Life of Railway Men.

The life of railway men does not
seem to be a healthy, nor yet an en-
joyable one. if any reliance is to be
placed on the observations of medical
men who have given some attention to
the subject. According to M. Duchesne,
railway men improve in health during
the first four years but at the end of
ten years they are tired out, in fifteen
they are actual sufferers, and few can
remain in the service after twenty
These general conclusions have been
supplemented by DR.. Lichtenbag, of
Buda Pesth, who found from examina-
ton that out of 250 railway employees
80, or more than third, suffered from
ear disease. Engine drivers are espec-
tally liable to rheumatism and pneu-
monia, and after some years service a
certain proportion of them become dull
of sight and hearing. Others suffer
from mild form of spinal conclusion,
muscular feebleness, and continuous
pains in the limbs. They az also apt
to develop peculiar mental state-a
sort of cerebral irritation-with excess
siye nervousness and morbid sensation

STORIES OF PETS.
Accompanied by the Afiidavits of Five Liars
of Great Skill.

A man in Westchester County has a
pet cat which he has taught to play
.'Home, Sweet Home" by walking up
and down the keys of the piano. The
cat also sits on the rocker of the cradle
and rocks the baby of the house to
sleep every night.
"Stump" is dog living on the Jer-
sey coast and owned by the captain OF
a pilot-boat. Stump never likes to stay
ashore and can never sleep in less than
ten feet of water, where he sinks to the
bottom and curls up in the sea-weed
and sand. All the fish eaten on the
boat are caught by the dog; but it is
fair to state that they never eat fish on
board that pilot-boat.
A colony of black-snakes lives in q
garden in New Jersey. They make
themselves useful by allowing the pea
vines to be trained over their bodies in
place of stakes, while two of them tie
themselves into knots about the gate
to keep out intruders.
The editor of Long Island paper
has pet turtle which he uses as a
paper-weight The turtle eats nothing
but printers ink, and every night
gathers up the papers on the desk into
neat pile and then sleeps on them.

But to the Point.

THE DONKEY AND THE TRAVELLER.
A Belated Traveller on the Kings
highway was made terribly Anxious at
a certain spot by Fearful Sounds. He
went forward very Timidly, ready to
turn and Fly for his Life at any mo-
ment, but all of sudden discovered
that the Dreaded Sounds had been
uttered by Donkey.
"See here. you Miserable Beast, what
are you trying to get ct, anyhow" de-
manded the Traveller.

ing in my stall come out and brave

belated Traveller with my voice and let
him know that Friends are near"

This man-what IL he worth?
Is it cash that came from the Lord knows who,
And broad, square miles OF earth!
Dare you assert, in broad daylight,
That his is the worth of q man?
II lakes indeed sordid wight
With favor this to scan.
The treasures OF the brain and heart,

And what turns men to the better part
These constitute true wealth.

And buy him funeral pail!

THE BEDS OF ROYALTY.
Fancies of IllustriOus PersOnages About
Their Sleeping Apartments.


Their Sleeping Apartments.
Clarence House is one of the most
comfortable houses in London. and is
famous for it's good beds, for the only
daughter of Alexander ii, of Russia
is, like many Muscovite ladies, very
particular about her beds, and will
tolerate in her house none but the very
best. Even when mere child, and
long Ebefore her marriage, she was so
particular about this very important
item in domestic comfort that, to in
sure the sheets being tightly stretched
over the mattress, she used to have
them sewn down, for even the slightest
crease or wrinkle would entirely de-
stroy the repose of this imperial spoilt
child for the night.
Her Royal Highness used to be
greatly chaffed about this weakness by
members of our royal family when first
she came to this country, but the
Queen, who is also very particular
about her beds, stuck up for her, and
although now the sheets are no longer
sewn down to the mattress, they are
composed of the most exquisitely fine
linen that can be procured. and
stretched like tight rope over the
most perfect mattresses that can be
manufactured in Paris in which capital
the making of mattresses has been
brought up to the level Of a fine art
A curious and amusing chapter might
indeed be written about the beds of
illustrious personages. The ex-Empress
Eugene is quite as particular about
her beds as the Duchess of Edinburgh
or our Gracious Sovereign, and quite
agrees with the first-named lady as
to the fineness of the linen and the
tightness of the drawing of the sheets,
but Her Imperial Majesty has an odd
fancy to have her bed so low as to give
visitor to the Imperial bedchamber
the impression that the widow of
Caesar is almost sleeping on the floor.
1t is indeed hardly elevated more than
foot from the floor, as all who have
visited in old days the private apart
ments at st. Cloud. Compiegne and the
Tuileries will remember. Another
curious bed is that of Sarah Bernhardt.
1t is nearly fifteen feet broad, and
when the great comedienne is indis-
posed and receives her intimate friends
reposing on her couch she looks like a
little golden-haired bird lost in great
sea of white satin.-Modern Society.

and he seized the Log and MovedN

NOT LIBELOUS.

Judge Grove, of the Supreme court of Michigan, has just given decision which is of special interest to newspapers and politi- cians. Often n,the course of political events 1t shecomes g newspapsr's duty tes tell the truth about candidate. The Michigan judge hos decided that 1t is no libel for a newspaper to brand candidate for congress as an ignoramus and fool. The Democrat of Grand Rapids, so characterized candidate E. Belknap, and that gentleman sued the paper for libel. The courts opinion reads thus: The constitution has fixed no grade of mind which is necessary to qualify person for a seat in congress. There is no moral delinquency, but in effect the imputa- ton is that the plaintiff, candidate for member of congress. is ignorant, uneducatsd and mentally disqualified to represent the people of this district in that body. Y In view of these publications think it can- not be held that they were libelous.
 This is as it should be. If every ignora- mus and fool who seeks office could escape being correctly described by the newspapers his political course would be much clearer than 1t now is. The fact is that many oan- didates for office are much more kindly treat ed by the newspapers than they ought to be. As result of this and other things, ignora- muses, fools and knaves are not uncommon in public offices.

DIsGRACRFUL JOURNALIST.

DISC GRACEFUL JOUAN AA1SMs
 During the past week great many people in this city have been deeply disgusted by the performances of some of the newspapers of the city, and also by the performances of the correspondents here who furnish what they call "news" to papers out of town. A gentleman and his wife have come to the conclusion that it would be best for them to separate. They do not attack each other. They do not seek to make their woes public They are not public property. But ever since the fact that separation is was discovered everybody who might, by any possibility, know anything about the matter has been bounded by re- porters who, without feeling and without shame, have sought to unearth, if they could, something that would be scandalous and make what is considered Interesting reading" by their employers. In the course of this search characters have been attacked and regulations smirched. The names of men and women have been freely mentioned. Mysteries have been hinted at, and half truths put in way to make them appear wholly true. It has really seemed that noth- ing would satisfy these ghouls of the press but feeding on human hearts. It is shame ful thing, and, we are sorry to say, only 8 little more shameful than much of the work that is done by certain newspapers here which are constantly inviting their readers to consider them patterns of all that is noble and desirable in journalism. To people of any right feeling such performances are shocking, and to those immediately inter- ested the bounding to which they are sub- jected must seem hellishly fiendish.

stood. At my very feet was the vast crater nearly two thousand feet in circumference, it's walls in places from two to three hundred feet high, while from the dark seams of its perfectly level floor the steam and smoke of the elumberipg volcano curled upward as peacefully as from winter countryside chim- neys. One cannot count time when sole thinking posse ssor of such height and scene; but at last the hideous fascination of Pico's crater wore away, and turned upon the grandest cyelorama my own eyes ever beheld. Sea and horizon were blended save where the sun, like majestic globe of fire, flung to the zenith its glorious dyes and mantled the sea to the islands rim with g flood of tremulous crimson. To the north east and north rose Terceira, St. George, and far and faint in a setting of reddened onyx, fair Graciosa in a ssrf rim of Rlittering pearls; while the tender green of Fayafs softly outlined heights, seemingly 90 near that one could answer the pipings of the goat herds upon her hills, WAS nowhere bro- ken save where Horta's pillared houses gleamed in ghostly white through the west ern discs of her winsome, eircling shores. The exultation, the elation, the soul-feastipg glory, of such 6 height and scene, is more than one who cannot fly can long endure. I awoke my guides. We scrambled down the mountain side. In an hour we breakfasted in an upland valley at herder's cabin, and at noon we were among the fishers and bleachers of Madelena by the sea.
