Three years ago the Hungarian gov
ernmcnt adopted the zone system of
rates for railroad fares. The principle
involved large reduction in rates, cs-
pccially to long-distance travellers. With
Buda.Pesth Us a center, the circumfer-
encc Of the first zone was about one hun
dred miles away, the second two hun
drcd, and so on to the extreme limits of
hungary. Only slight reduction in rates
was made in the first zone, much larger
in the second, and increasingly larger
in the outer zones. The gross reduction
Was in the neighborhood of sixty per
cent. Hungary was an ideal place for
trying the plan, as all roads run to
Buda-Pesth and the city itself was prac-
tically in the center of the country.
Railroad men everywhere declared the
plan forcdoomed to failure, even where
the conditions were as favorable as in
Hungary.
The first official figures on the sys-
ten have been published. Commenting
on them, Transport says:
''EXcellent results have, according to
the official figures just published, been
shown by the working Of the zone SyS-
tenn on the railways of Hungary. The
eyes of Europe have been turned with a
good deal of curiosity and interest to
this, the most daring and systematic
method of discrimination in favor of the
long distance Us against the short dis
lance traveller in the world. The vari-
Gus zones or circles within which GER
tain fares are charged arc fixed by reg
ulation, the principle adopted being the
greater the distance from the capital
the less the proportional rate per mile
travelled. The system has been greatly
appreciated by the people living in the
more distant parts of the country, as
the result shows. For some years be-
fore the introduction of the system the
number of travellers averaged 6,OOO,O0
annually. In the first year of the zone
tariff the number rose to 1G, 600, 900; the
second years returns showed that 49,
100000 had used the railways, while
during the third year the number of
travellers totaled %, 600. It is salts
factory to note corresponding rise in
the receipts, advancing from 0,705, 200
guldcn during tho last year of the old
system to 28,300,O 900 gulden during the
year Just closed"

SAVED BY HIS HORSE.
Very Peculiar Escape Of n Man from
Break In tho Ice.

Very Peculiar Escape Of Man from n
Break In tho Ice.
The story comes up from below the
city, says the Lewiston (NIc.) Journal,
about n man who attempted to cross
the Androscoggin on the ice and was
swamped, together with his team. He
had been hauling wood across the river
for several days, and had just one more
load to haul.
AS the water was up on the face of
the ice he first thought to put off haul
ing it, but the thought that perhaps
there would not be another chance to
haul it made him go across. When he
started back he thought he wouldn't 20
in the same track where he had hauled
the rest, so he went little above.
The ice began to crack slowly when
he got to the middle. Quick as flash
he unfastened the two tugs and one
holdback. Then he struck the horse
violently with the whip. At the same
time the sled load of wood went
through with crash. He commenced
to sink with it, but when the horse had
been struck he jumped ahead and,
breaking the off holdback, jerked the
man Off the load and dragged him to
the shore with the rcins. There he
stopped and the man got up.
When he looked back the top of the
wood and the shafts could be seen stick
ing out of the hole in the ice. He saws
that he had rather lose the wood than
go near the hole again. 1t is frozen in
now.

Pellagra In Italy.


The British vice consul at Venice in
his last report says that notwithstand-
ing all the efforts of the authorities the
pellagra, disease affecting the poorer
peasantry, still exists in the Venetian
and Lombard province. It is chiefly due
to the miserable condition of the people,
especially of the day laborers, whose
wages in winter amount to something
less than franc day for each day of
work. They feed almost exclusively on
polenta, live with their families in mis-
cradle, damp, unwholesome huts, are
uncertain of being able to gain their
livelihood on the morrow, and there is
no hope for them of improving their con-
dition.
The number Of peasants who emigrate
annually to foreign countries rather
than starve at home is greatly increas-
ing. According TO the statistical tables
published by the Italian government, the
emigrants in 1891 from the Venetian
provinces were 1874, 1854, while in 1890 the
total number was 67,676. In the prov
ince Of Rovigo, where the condition of
the peasantry is terribly hard, about 7
per cent of the inhabitants emigrated in
1S91.-London Standard.

SPEECH STRANGELY RECLAIMED.

Having Been Dumb For Sixty-five Years.
DR.. Livingston Speaks Again.
DR.. Livingston, resident OF the ltsie
village Of Bennettsville, Chenango co1n-
ty, has regained the power of speech and
hearing after having been deaf mute
for nearly 65 years. About two weeks
ago he awoke in the night with very
severe pain in his head, as if he had been
struck with a club. He called out to his
wife, who was sleeping beside him. at
the sound of his voice she awoke, aston
Ished to hear him pronounce her NAME
She had never before heard him speak.
AS soon as she recovered from her sur
prise she asked him what was the mat
ter. Her words were the first he had
heard since he was an infant, and the
revelation IF his changed condition as
founded him. The pain in the mean
time grew less acute, and he and his wife
talked until morning Of his wonderful
recovery.
The news spread quickly, and all the
next day the doctor was overwhelmed

first caused him great annoyance, but
he has gradually become accustomed to
it. His vocabulary, which at first was
limited, has increased, and he has no
difficulty in expressing himself. .
When Or. Livingston was 8 years old,
severe attack of scarlet fever left him
entirely deaf. The few childish worda
ne knew gradually were forgotten, and
by the time lie was years old be became
mute. Despite his past affection, the
old man is Intelligent and well read. He
is at loss to account for his strange
good fortune, and the physicians in the
neighborhood can shed no light on the
mystery.
DR.. Livingston is anxious to have his
case investigated by the medical frater-
nifty, in hope that some explanation as to
his recovery can be given. The pain
which he felt in his head gradually passed
down his spine into his legs and then
left him entirely. Though II years old,
he is in excellent health. -Cor. Utica

The s,ovvness Of the Snail.

"a snail's pace need no longer be used
rs a term more or less indefinite. Those
skilled in the science Of 'snailology" can
tell you just to a dot the snail's rate of
travel. These interesting facts were as
rertained by some wonderful expert
ments at the Florence (Italy) Polytech-
mic institution in 1859, and those inclined
to be exact can now use figures to sup
port their arguments.
1t was all done in this way: A half a
dozen of the Inollusks were permitted to
crawl between two points 10 feet apart.
Exact time was kept from the start to
the finish, and thus the average pace
was ascertained. The experinenters re-
duced their figures into tables of feet,
yards, rods, furlongs, etc., and thus
found that it would take d snail exactly
IA days to travel a mile.-Philadelphia

GOODWIN SMITH. during our civil
war and now resides at Toronto, where
he is president of the Continental union,
organized for the purpose of advocating
the annexation of Canada. OF this ne
says in recent interview:
SIT is a peoples movement, and al.
though the real feeling does not appear
on the surface it is there, and it cannot
be stopped. I am an Englishman, and ]
am not disloyal to Canada. 1t coulI
bring about annexation, should regard
it as the most patriotic thing ever did
for my country. should also regard it
as the grandest piece of fortune that ever
overlook Canada. Canada's sturdy, sub
stantial, industrious people should have
better opportunities in their struggle fol
good living, and those opportunities
would present themselves much better
with a close political and commercial
union with the United States. Annexat
ton is today looked upon as the great
and one important issue in Canada. The
people who can afford to make frequent
trips to the United States may say that
it is not so, but it is certainly true, and
if vote could be taken ON the matter
the majority in it's favor would be enor-
NOUS"
One million natives of Canada have al
ready annexed themselves to the United
States, Canadians being, according to
the eleventh census, one-tenth of our en-
tire foreign born population. Since 1886
their ratio has increased much faster
than that of foreigners as whole. They
number more than 200, 900 in Massachu-
sets, 900 in Michigan and $4,000 in
New York. In Maine, of a foreign born
total of $4,000, not less than $4,000 are
Canadians. In New Hampshire, of 70, 900
foreign born, 46, 900 are Canadians. In
Vermont, out of Al 900 foreign born, &c.
600 are Canadians. In New England
they are chiefly French, but as one goes
west the Scotch and English predomi-
date. All this indicates closer ties every
year between the provinces and the
States, and it looks just now as if Gold
win Smiths hope would be realized.
