ANOTHER LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Advantage of Travelling with a Commuter
on His Own Line.

Advantage of Travelling with a COmmuter
on His Own Line.
A good many jokes are cracked at the
expense of the ''commuter," but all the
same he is good man to travel with on
his own line.
Two young clerks left their down
town Office in a hurry one evening last
week to attend an entertainment in
Forty-fifth street. Un1uckily, they had
been detained by business a good deal
beyond their usual hour for dinner. and
as they wanted to reach the entertain
ment on time, they discussed, as they
crawled uptown on a Third avenue ele-
vated train, the best place to get the
quickest sort of a luncheon. just enough
to stay their hunger till the entertain
ment was over and they could get
square" meal.
The Junior partner of their employ
ers' firm was on the same train with
them, on his way to the Grand Central
station, where he would board a train
for his suburban villa in Westchester
county. He had travelled over that road
twice day for years, and. being that
kind of man who makes friends every
where he goes, he knew almost every

recommended them to go to the restau-
rant in the Grand Central station.
I'm afraid we won't get waited on
quickly enough" said one Of the clerks:
''there'll be so many travellers there,

answer. and when the restaurant was
reached the junior partner led the way.
Going up to the proprietor, he grasped
his hand. asked about the mans sick

they both were in, whispered something
else in his ear, then introduced the
clerks and asked that they be served as
as quickly as possible. Then he darted
away to catch his train.
Almost before they knew IT the clerks
were led to a table. chairs were thrust
under them. and two walters were re-
peating the bill of fare with bewilder-
ing speed. Each clerk selected one sim
pie dish, easily ievoured. The walters
also brought bottle of Rhine wine.
I'VE did not order wine,- exclaimed
the clerks.
'.The boss told me it was for you
said the waiter as he drew the cork and
filed the glasses.
On inquiry, it was learned that the
junior partner had ordered it before he
skipped off The clerks drank to his
health and prosperity When they
came to pay for their meal, the waiter
said it had already been paid for. When
the clerks got over their surprise, they
discovered that the junior partner had
told the boss to charge to his account
anything they might order.
''What jolly joker exclaimed one
clerk, laughing heartily; but what
makes you look so glun?'' he inquired
of his fellow, who seemed about to kick

PEASANT LIFE IN RUSSIA.

Social and Economic Conditions In the
Cars Empire.
The patriarchaI family was for long
time an important factor in Russian
peasant life. Several generations of
relatives used to live together under
the authority of the oldest male MEM
Der, who was called by title signify
ing ''The Big One" Occasionally a wo-
man occupied this position. Daugh-
ters married out of the family. Sons
brought their wives into it, and
these wives were expected to. Ia
Dor hard. When boy ap-
preached manhood it was the duty of
the male and female Big Ones of the
family to get him a wife, the combina-
tion of a man, a horse and woman
being considered the practical ''labor
unit in Russian agricultural life. AS
the wives were chosen more largely
with reference to their working capaci-
ties than their personal charms, it often
happened that women of mature age
were married to little boys. This Gus
tom not only lessened the number of
legitimate children born among the
peasantry, but proved to be source cf

ly is ceasing to exist. Young couples
go off by themselves to keep house.
One of the reasons why the large fami
lies are now broken up is that since
emancipat ton some new economical con-
ditions have crept into the life of the
peasantry. The portions of land al
lotted since emancipation have proved
insufficient to support the families and
to enable them to raise money to pay
their taxes, which are very large. The
bad government OF Russia has more
over made the PEASANTS the VIC
tins of all sorts of extortions
on the part of officials. AS
consequence the people have grown
steadily poorer, and have become
wage workers. The men go out from
home to earn money. Their sore dis
tress has taught them to look upon the
possession of money as the thing that
will save them from debt and from the
lash of the tax collectors. These men
are not willing, in view of their own
necessities, to share their earnings with
the other members of the family. as the
crops were formerly shared. The in
stinct of individual ownership has
awakened in them and opposes the old
brother1y feeling So the wage-earners
gradually withdrew from the common
household. B. Chase Wyman, in

Each Dust-Germ May be Inhabited by q

If our eyes were microscopes, what a
world of wonders, and even of terrors,
the atmosphere would appear to be!
Even air that is apparently pure con
tains a great number of microscopic
floating particles. There is dust that
has risen from the ground, and been
there is powderly matter that has been
elected from the interior of the earth
by volcanoes: there are minute particles
of meteoritfc matter that come floating
down out of interstellar space, and
there is great variety of living germs
and organisms, some of which produce
diseases and death.
The Investigations that are going on
concerning the origin of the influenza
now af fhictiag mankind In various quar-
ters of the globe have led some men OF
science to conclude that micro-organ-
ism. or bacillus. of some kind which
lives and is diffused through the air, is
the cause of this most troublesome dis
ease.
But even bacillus, so small that the
utmost powers of the microscope are
taxed to render it visible. must have
something to live on or it will perish
In absolutely pure air it could not sur
vive. but DIR. Synes Thompson makes
the interesting suggestion that minute
PARTICLES of organic dust floating in the
air may serve as RATS for it to live ON.
What strange picture this sugges-
ton forms in the imagination. Particles
of matter. too small to be discerned
with the naked eye. floating through
the atmosphere, and bearing, like a
microscopic fleet, ancountable millions
of organisms, whose combined attack
suffices to render large fraction of the
human race miserable.
But knowledge is power, and the more
we learn about cur microscopic enemies
in the air the better prepared we are to
resist their assa.ults.-Youth's Compan-

IT is possible that the people of
this State might have thought it
was an accident on the part of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company
that kept General Weaver out on
the desert so that he missed talking
to the four thousand people that
had assembled at Reno to hear him,
but when that company refused to
give the people of Truckee special
cars except at extortionate rates to
carry them to Reno to hear Wea-
yer, it looks as though it was the
intention of that company to put
as many obstacles in Weaver's way
as possible. Weaver has lost no
votes in this State or eastern Cali
fornia by the way the c. P. has
treated him.

F. G. NEwLANDs has joined the
Silver League in Washoe county, so
has Senator Stewart, and so will
Congressman Bartine, probably. In
this event the two aspirants for Con-
gressional honors will stand before
the people in the same light on the
silver question. Everybody knows
that both gentlemen are earnest adj
vocates of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. Mr.. Bartine has
served the State for four years in
Congress, and he has made as able
a representative as we have ever had.
He can do no more. Besides being
an ardent free-coinage advocate Mr..
Newlands has large interests in
Nevada, which if he were a mem
Der of Congress, he would no doubt
try to benefit in the way of appro-
priations for irrigating schemes, etc.
Being a large owner of property in
the State, which is now away below
par, he would no doubt be very
jealous in both the free-coinage and
irrigation questions, as they would
benefit him personally and the
State generally. He is somewhat
like Stewart as a worker, and never
lets an opportunity pass to get in a
word for silver and Nevada. He
has as good right to ask for the
nomination as anybody, we take it,
and should he succeed in obtaining
it, there will be no doubt about his
election. He is friend to all our
industries because his interests are
here, and should the people declare
him their choice we predict that he
will be a tireless worker for all
Neyada's interests.

The silver leagues throughout the
State should see that no delegate to
the coming State Convention is
elected who is not unequivoeally In
favor of endorsing the silver electo-
raj ticket. For Republicans to put
an electoral ticket in the field would
show to people outside that Neva-
dams were not sincere in their de-
mand for free coinage 1t would
also be the cause of the silver
leagues putting in the field candi-
date for Congress and Supreme
Judge, and straight ticket in many
of the counties. This would not be
desirable situation, for the main
point that we ought to keep in sight
on election day-the electoral ticket
would be lost sight of in the lit
tie personal fights that would be on
hand. The silver league members
want nothing this year but to win
the electoral fight. This will be
large point, and show what may be
expected in this State two years
hence.
