Behind Time.

An express train slowly pulls out at the
sound of the gong. Immediately from va
fious quarters, as if they popped out of the
earth, some people. with wildly swinging
grips and parcels in hand, rush at break
neck speed along the planking to get on
board. and are left painting and shouting
and swearing-just too late Rarely an
ocean steamer, booked for days to leave at
a certain hour, begins to churn the salt
water into foam but a cab or carriage,
bearing a steamer trunk and displaying a
disheveled head at the open window, comes
rafting down upon the crowded pier-just
too late. The company has the passage
money, the name is on the printed passen-
ger list but the berth is empty this trip.
Hardly ship leaves port but somebody is
left by hairbreadth.
1t seems odd, doesn't it' But it is never
theless true. This great business world
stops for nobody. A man must get up and
come down on time or get left. And there
is always somebody getting left.-New

THE PLEASURES OF TRAVELLING.

One of the Mary Incidents That Go to
Make Life en- the Cars Pleasant.
There was a man at the Wabash depot
the other afternoon who took five dollar
bill out of his vest pocket and spread it out
on his knee and attentively examined it.
Then he took it over to the window and
held it to pane of glass and examined it
still more critically. Then he went back
60 his seat and said 20 the man on his right,
who nao become much interested. together
with half a dozen others:
well, they say there has got to be n
first time with everybody, but thought
had travelled far enough to cut my eye
teeth"
got stuck, eh?" queried the other as he
reached for the bill well, you are not so
much to blame. That bill is pretty well
gotten up"
Eyes, fairly well, but feel of it. Does it
feel like genuine greenback to you?"
NO. it doesn't, though l shou'1 never
have stopped to feel of it. I can see now
that it is rougher and coarser''
They might have passed that off on me
In the night" said second man, who took
up the bill, "but never by daylight. /
should have spotted it at once''
Pretty well executed, isn't it2" queried
the owner.
II don't think so. The inks used were
not first class and the printing is bad.
could tell it was queer, even if held out at
arms length"
Counterfeit, eh?" said the third man
as he took the bill in his hands. "Waal,
now, l call that pooty well done-pooty
well done. I'd "a taken that bill anywhar'
fur good one"
''If somebody didn't take 'em fer good, -
said man with a pair of steel bowed spec

the third man.

a
ticket for town fifty miles down the road,
and the ticket man pulled in the bill and
made change like chain lightning. Twenty
people'were watching and each drew long
breath and opened his eyes. The owner OF
the bill coolly pocketed the change and
ticket and calmly sat down and opened
newspaper and began to read 1t was some

that it had been guyed. Then. one by one,

notice with much pleasure that some
scientist has again been successful IN
overtaking and roping grip micrebe
by getting up early in the morning to
surprise the microbe while 1t was out
grazing or something. Oh, how COM
forting it is to know that great man,
with a butterfly net with handle to 1t,
has deftly gathered in the little Mike as
it fitted from lung to lung!
Now if he could kerosene 1t and let 1t
go among the other microbes his idea Is
that most of them would go away al
most at once. The microbe, especially
the grip microbe, is exceedingly averse
to the odor of kerosene, and | believe
the day is not far distant when this plan
will have driven away the parent mi
crobes, leaving the young to die of hun
ger.
DR.. Ames, a young unmarried phys1-
clan, went out microbing month ago
and got enough for a mess. He kept
them, however, for week or so, giving
them a fresh lung every little while to
nibble on He says that the microbe
does not show high order of intelli-
gence, but may be taught to sit up on
its hind legs and ask for new lung
when hungry. He says that this bacil-
lus is smaller than the Mouse septicamia,
which has been heretofore regarded as
the smallest bacillus known to the sports
man.
Professor Pfeiffer has made some
very careful studies of this little microbe
in Europe He got the seeds, he says,
from the expectQrators of a crowned
head and scwed them in glycerin. He
was successful in getting from these a
brood of bacillus, or bacilli, rather,
which convinced him at once that he
could furnish an epidemic to any town
on short notice at small cost. He be.
gan to supply European physicians with
epidemics on commission for fees paid
both to physicians and undertakers, and
now hardly has to do a days work once
month. He just strolls through his
microbe conservatory, looking over the
display, and every little while putting a
feeble one on its feet again or patting
the mother tenderly on the back. All OF
them know him now, and when they
hear his footstep hundreds Of them will
scamper out from behind their bronchia
retreat with a glad cry of welcome.

of business done here is not fully appre-

the business ability of New York, the

How Teppvson Began To Write

There is in the possession Of an intimate
friend of Lord Tennyson letter giving an
account of the manner in which the poet
laureate first essayed to make poetry One
day, when about the age of sixteen. he was
too i'll to so to church. and his brother
suggested he should employ his spare time
in trying TO write q poem. The boy did so,
and discovered for the first time his capac-

says that the close, confined air and

to the health of the grip microbe. Now,
if he can arrange it so that the patient

Balfour Meets With an Ovation as the
New Leader.
LONDON, Feb 9.-In the Commons this
afternoon Balfour, successor to the late
William Henry Smith as the Government
leader, received prolonged ovation from
his friends. lie gave notice that he would
introduce an Irish local government bill,
and would move on Thursday next that
Edward de Goblin, member from East Bel
fast, Who is now fugitive, be requested TO
attend the House on February 23d.
Hodge moved the adoption of an address
in reply to the Queens speech.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt expressed
the sympathy OF the opposition for the royal
family in its bereavement. Next, he said,
the opposition recognized the merits Of
BalfOur as the new leader, and he believed
Balfour would always sustain the honor
and the privileges Of the House of COM
mons.
With regard to the Irish Local Govern
meDt Bill he said 1t was a matter that he
wished carried out. If a genuine, honest
measure was presented the opposition
would support it, but they could not regard
ii as local government if only some appliCa-
tion Of the County Council system was to be
taken as settling the question of Self-gOY-
ernmeut.
Hareourt said that Salisbury's recent
speech at Exeter about the Catholic regime
in Ireland did not promise we'll for the lib
eTality Of the coming bill Salisbury's re-
marks, lie declared, were as unfounded his
tOrically as they were unstatesmanlike in
character.
Balfour in reply said that HarcOurt had
distorted the meaning OF the Exeter speech.
The proposals of the Ministers would show
that the Government had confidence in
Catholic majority.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT.

Promising Future Predicted fer the Raisin
ard Prune Trade.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The Commercial
Bulletin discusses official data of the impor-
tation Of raSins and prunes. especially
with regard to the possibilities suggested
Of a much larger outlet than ever before
for California fruit made possible by the
high tax u which foreign fruit is subjected
and the ability Of California to put goods
upon the market at prices within the reach
of the great mass of consumers. The Bull
Ietln says: For example, it is shown that
the importations Of raisins for three years
ending vita 1890 averaged about $4,000, ,0O0
pounds per anuum, while less than l9. 000-
600 pounds were imported in 1891 This ap-
parent opening for %, ,OO0, 900 pounds of Cal
ifOruia ralSius, however, sinks into inSjg-
nfirance alongside Of the pTune exhibit. In
1855 no less than 1860, 600 pounds of pTunes
were imported, while the average for the
three years ending with 1890 IS about Co.
100000 pounds. In 1891 only 9336, $50
pounds we're imported Evidently CaIifor-
MIA prunes have a promising future. Ger
tain It is, the product Of the Golden State
must profit by the remarkable falling off in
the foreign supply. 1t looks very much as
though California should secure a large per-
centage If the former foreign trade il
prices are kept within reasonable bounds.
