Over Reached Himself

English railways have the very sen,
sible rule that passengers are not to
stand in the cars il any one objects.
An English paper gives the following
instance OF how even ones rights may
be too strongly insisted upon:
"'Will you kindly allow me to
stand" asked gentleman as he got
into a railway carriage, which car
riage already contained the specifi sd
number.
Certainly not. sir!' exclaimed a
passenger occupying a corner seat
near the door. The way these trains
are overcrowded is shamefulr
AS you appear to be the only per-
sou who objects to my presence re-
piled the gentleman, Il shall remain
where ] am
Then ! shall call the guard and
have you removed, sir
''Suiting the action ~ the sor4, the
aggrieved passenger rose, and, Fssting
his head out OF he window, rscifer-
ously demanded the guard. The new.
conner saw his opportunity, and quietly
slipped into the corner seat.
"'One over the number said tho
newcomer TO the guard, coolly.'
You must come out, sirr' the trains
going on, and without waiting for
further explanation the guard pulled
out the aggrieved passenger, who was
left wildly gesticulating on tine plat.

A Florida lady has hit upon a design

it 'rsttlesnake dress" and describes
1t as follows: 1T is of the Eiffel shade,
a rich shade of brown, fine and beauti-
full in texture. 1t is tailor made

style; perfectly plain skirt with a
panel about seven inches wide of the
tanned skin of the rattlesnake. The
skin is beautiful specimen of its kind.

at the side with straps Of snake skin

hat trimmed with material to match

LOVE AND LEATHER.

Disturbed.

II comes out in the course OF an
Illinois breach of promise case that
the faithless sweetheart laid the cause
OF his disloyalty on corns. He had
gone to the expense and trouble of
securing something grand in the way
OF pair OF new boots. but on trying
them on preparatory to his regular
visit he found he could scarcely walk.
Nothing, therefore, was left for It but
to stay at home.
Leaving aside the other points pre-.
sented It practically puts the shoe
maker or the cobbler in the time-honor-
ed positions with respect to marriage
held from time immemorial by Hymen
and Cupid. Instead OF the winged
god with his ribbon-strung bow and
golden arrows. says the Chicago
Times. contemplate ap individual
whose romance Is probably confined to
the manipulation of calf-skin and wax
ends, and in place OF Hymen and his
flaming torch conceive the possibility
OF ones marital destinies presided over
so to speak. by parsonage whose
highest fight of sole is the lowest of
his fellow-men. 1t cannot must not,
be. There is not and never was such
affinity between Love and Leather.
If tight boots aud corns are to be ac-
cepted as excuse for plain neglect of
duty tho world might as well go into
liquidation at once. That youth, en-.
thusiastic and loving, would permit
such prosaic and commonplace things
as corns to prevent his visiting his
sweetheart is In itself revolutionary
and unprecedented. But II justified
and held good in his good case, where
such a possibility was never even
dreamed OF by lunatic or poet, how
woulA it affect the married men? Ask

they cannot for their corns. Asked to

poets to make warfare so deadly that
1t will be sheer madness for one nation

tured to engage in it. The inventor

,ARON HIRSCH.

Baron Hirsch, the great Jewish mil
ionaire whose scheme for promoting
the emigration of the Russian Jews
seems about to be coming decisive
issue, is said to be worth twenty mil
lions sterling. He is a very large hold
er of French Rentes, and has also large
landed estates. His wealth arose
principally out of the contract for Turk
ish and Transylvanian railways. in the
latter of which he was partially fin
anced by the Rothschilds. The great
banking firm, it is said, withdrew from
the undertaking, under the impression
that it could not succeed, a all events
with Baron Hirsch as Its chief conduc.
tor. However, the enterprising Baron
secured a great rally of his compatr OTIS
at Frankfort, where he had influence,
through his marriage, with the great
banking firms, and obtained suffi cient
funds to carry on the undertaking
alone. 1t proved an extraordinary
success. The railways paid from the
beginning, and realized one of the
greatest fortunes in Europe for the
venturesome contractor. Since then,
whatever Baron HIrsch has touched
has turned to gold. He Is an extreme
ly generous man, and his yearly bene-
factions III Paris, where his headquar-
ters are fixed, amount to about quar-
ter Of million sterling. He has quite
an army of slmoners. and no tale of
distress reaches his ears in vain. His
intimates like him well, though he has,
no doubt, many envious detracsors,
and the difference with the great house
Of Rothschild has never been healed.
Baron Hlrsch was greatly affected by
the death of his son, which occurred
some months ago; and it is aid that
his resolve to sucoor his fellow-coun
trymen in Russia grew partly out of
this event and partly out of early per-
sonal experiences of the brutalities in
fiicted on Russian Jews. We heartily
wish success to the plans of the Je y ish
