an EI,ratcd Railroad Enisode-

She was 4, Normal college girl, and she
decided to take the Sixth avenue elevated
railroad up town. Being in haste, she
carried her coin in her mouth. that she
might lose 10 time at the ticket window.
When shereached the ticket window she
swallowed the coin and several people
missed several trains while she coughed
it up again. When her ticket was de-
posted she discovered herself to be on
the down town side. She was in hurry,
and she gritted her teeth and ran down
stairs. Then she, got ratified, crossed
Twenty third street instead of crossing
the avenue and, mounting, found herself
where she had been before.
She stuck her tongue out at the gate
man and started again. AS she crossed
Sixth avenue the gateman on the down
town side called to the gateman ON the
up town side that a crazy girl was COM
ing. She came. She was a good deal
out of breath, and she stuffed s. bill
through the window AS a train drew
up She swept together her change, mostly
silver, flung it into the ticket box, and,
firmly grasping her ticket, dashed for a
place. The gateman dragged her back,
but she did not believe him. Then, while
the station telegraphed to the central Of
fee for instructions, she sat and made
faces at the gateman over the way. And
the gateman on the down town side called
to the gateman on the up town side:
"Are you going to the ball this even
ing?'
And the gateman on the up town side
called to the gateman on the down town
side: "Not this evening. New York

There is an interesting instance OF
water flowing inland from the sea. tits
found on the island of Cephalonia, in the
lOnian sea, west of Greece The phe
nomenon occurs on the southwest side
Of the island, near the small town anG
port of ArgOstoli Two streams flow al
u short distance from one. straight from
the sea for a few yards, and then follow
different courses. One turns at righ1
angles and runs for some ways parable
with the shore and close to it. Then i
turns again toward the sea, and run
ming, of course, deeper and deeper
doubles completely under itself. thu.
forming loop, and finally passes out c
sight deep down in a landward direction
In its course it turns two -four mills
which will give an idea of the strength
of the current. There is no tide in tn,
sea here, and the flow of the salt waite
brook is perfectly steady and continuous
The other stream disappears in tn
ground in a similar way.
This curious phenomenon has not at
tracted much attention because Argos
toll is not on one of the regular tours
routes. No one knows what becomes q
this water, but it probably flows to som
subterranean reservoir, and it NAV hav
something to do with the earthquake
that occur in that neighborhood once i
long while, or possibly it feeds som
distant volcano, for, as is we'll known
the most generally accepted theory c
the cause of volcanic eruptions is tina
they are due to steam generated fror
water admitted through cracks in tn
earths crust or in some other way

An Old Time Editor.

A legal friend reminds me of ole
Colonel Rogers, who published the Bos-
ton Journal before the war. He was
terribly conservative, and his paper was
delivered almost entirely to annual sub
scribers, although few copies were on
sale at the book stores. One day when
the colonel came down town he was hor-
rified to see a boy with some Journals
under his arm shouting out, journal,
cents; Journal Dazed for a minute,
he called the boy into doorway and
asked, 'How many Journals have you
there?' Told, he took out his purse and
paid for them all, and ordered the BOY
to run home and never to buy any Jour
nails again. He was so scandalized bv
the occurrence that he said he felt al
most ashamed to meet his business &C
quaintances for weeks. Times changed
when the war broke out, and the Jour.
nal went on the street like other papers.

Bargain Counter Repartee.

An early morning customer in big
retail dry goods shop is apt to hear some
quaint talk among the clerks, who amuse
themselves by chatting one another while
waiting for the active trade of the day
to begin. III an up town shop the other
morning customer heard the follow
ing dialogue:

What is it, ribbons?" from the fan
counter.

SolAe Prison Dogs.

There lives at the big penitentiary on
Church street a family of dogs which are
as Interesting as any dogs in the state.
SOM Of them belong to the officials con-
nected with the prison and some belong
s to the prison itself, but they all live and
eat together in perfect harmony. The
most prominent, perhaps, is the large
Newfoundland, Nellie, the property of
+. b. Grass, She possesses almost hui
man intelligence, and there seems hardly
limit to her capacity for learning. She
will go errands, steal hat off the head
of the wearer or preach to you. She is
the mother of four curly, clumsy little
babies, whose frolicsome gambols she
watches with grave dignity. 81
Nellie loves her babies very much; in
fact she. loves any kind of a child, and
will play with one by the hour. Her
master has little four-year old girl, and
when Nellie is there to see her they al
ways have big romp. One of their
games is hide and seek The little girl
goes and hides while Nellie is held with
here eyes covered. When the time to
commence looking arrives Nellie scours
the whole place and never fails to find
the little one. When found she gently
takes her by the arm and leads her to her
mother.
Another interesting dog living at the
prison is the great Danish mastiff
Dante" He is a glorious old fellow.
just such dog as was the friend OF
Little Lord Fauntleroy, and looks Zero
cious enough to eat up a man; but he
wouldn't, for he is sweet tempered and
alniable, He does not get d chance tC
see nanny people except the convicts, but
he IS very fond of children, and when
they come into the prison yard he fol
lows them around, and will not leave
them rs long as they stay in the yard.
There is also a fine greyhound. sew.
eral hunting dogs and d saucy little
spaniel that takes liberties with the bic
fellows. On pretty days they will have
a romp, and it is a funny thing to sec
the greyhound jump clean over the whole
crowd when they run him too close

Especial Charm of Favorite Club.


The fact that we know each other very
well is the reason of the charm of a GER
tain American club. 1t gives an idea of
this place to say that people find them
selves neglecting their business in order
to get there in time for luncheon. 1t is
not that the company is so unusual.
There are, no doubt attractive men, full
OF interesting knowledge; there is plenty
Of good talk. But it is not enough that
the talk should be good; the men must
be seen and heard through an atmosphere
of friendship. Some of the incest men
choose to say very little; but these are
men in whom, in the course of daily &C
quaintance, you learn to discover very
charming qualities and friendly DISPOSE
TONS
Possibly everybody is not charming
Perhaps there is even bore or two; but
bores are very human, and, to my think
ing, rather cozy. There is gentleman
who tells over the same story, but nobody
minds it as much as he would if he knew
and he doesn't. Even the gentleman who
is always talking about his health per-

He Takes the Cake for Economy.

There is a farmer in Wrightown town
ship who will perhaps in time get rich,
as he is economy and watchfulness per-
sonifed. He engaged girl to assist in
the house at stated wages per week.
When they agreed to settle, nearly a
year later, he had bill against her of a
little more than So for loss of time for

Cured of a Snnerstition.

speaking OF superstltionS among sick
people a hospital physician said: upon
one occasion one Of the convalescents
was sitting near the window when he
observed a small dog barking furiously
while running along the ground direct

stopped, and looking upward began to
sniff the air and then commenced dig

keeping up an incessant whining. The
patient called an attendant and told her
that he wished to be put back to bed, as
the time was fast approaching for his
demise. The nurse demonstrated and
tried to laugh the man out of the absurd
notion, but it was without avail and
the patient had his wish granted and fo1

being told tried to make the man see
how foolish it was to relinquish all hold
he had upon life. But the idea had such
a firm hold upon him that was finally

A New Reading System for the Blind

A new method of teaching the blind to
write has been invented by French
lady residing in Anglers. For some
years Mile Mulot has been doing all in
her power to alleviate the sufferings of
those who have been deprived of eyesight.
Nile. Mulot has been three years in
bringing her new method to perfection.
The system is a very simple one. Asmall
album of by inches, having two brass
gratings at the corners, contains all the
arrangements necessary, and the writing
is done by hard pencil upon soft paper.
The letters taught are Roman in character
and very angular or square in outline.
OF course each letter is separate, which
makes it very easy to read.-New York

AsToR HOUSE ExTRAvAeANcE.
The Little Old Lady Thought That Too
Many Candles Were Burning,

Ahe AAttie OId Lady Thought That Too
Many Candles Were Burning.
A dear old lady from the country sat
with her son, also from the country, in
the big dining room of the Astor house a
few evenings ago. Men who have come
to New York from the country, if they
had seen her, would have been remind
ed of their grandmothers. Her face was
kindly, and there was just a little color
IN It, She wasn't very tall, and her fig
ure was comfortable. She wore a shawl.
Her bonnet was little one, and in the
front of it was some white lace. Her
gown was of bombazine. and of some
what ancient cut.
The big, brightly lighted room inter
ested her. So did the people at the
tables. While the son was engaged in
the somewhat perplexing task of select
ing the supper the old lady talked audi
bly, with the waiter. She told him that
she hoped Landlord Aston and Mis- Aston
were pretty well. The waiter explained
that Mr. Allen was the landlord, whereat
the old lady expressed polite surprise.
When the waiter had gone with the or
der she devoted few moments to study
ing the chandeliers. They represent
candles.
Il wonder" she said, chow under the
sun Mis- Allen ever gets UP there to
snuff 'em.''
Snuff WHAT" asked her son.
why, them candles; they're so high
up"
The young man did not answer.
The old lady again gazed at the chan
dellers refectively. They amt no need
of all that light" she said. "Mis' Allen
is powerful wasteful woman"
Her son was apparently man of few
words. Her criticism was unnoticed.
Presently the waiter brought the bread
and the plates, and what the old lady
evidently thought was superabundance
Of knives and forks. She greeted him
pleasantly. Back again, hey?' she said;
you're pretty quick. But, Horace" she
added to her son, you ordered some
thin more than bread, didn't your
at will be here shortly" put in the
waiter, with a polite bow. The old lady
gave him a sweet smile "I'm pretty
hungry" she said
Several of the diners had overheard
her observations. Some of them were
hard faced business men. They didn't
laugh at her They only regarded her
with lively interest. She smoothed out
the tablecloth carefully, and inspected
the silver, evidently with approval
The waiter brought the meal and gave
the old lady close attention, which pleased
her immensely She c1oi1a1 ~, hin, o,,5
asked after the health of his family. As
she rose from the table she said to him:
Tell Mis- Allen I'd like to have her

that he would do So And as the old
lady passed out of the door one of the
diners raised a glass and exclaimed, 1.-The
