A Loathsome spot in India.

one Of the innumerable curious sights
Of India IS the Nuggar tank Of Kurachi.
In former times the crocodiles which IN
habit IL roamed the neighborhood at their
will. seeking whom they might devour,
but so great were their depredations that
the authorities were forced 20 build a
wall around their haunt This is a
swamp caused by hot springs the medici-
nal virtues OF which have been known
from early times, and are attributed TO
the sancity Of a Mohammedan. whose
tomb is close by. and 10 whom the croco-
dies are sacred. The tank, as IL is called,
Is about $50 yards by about half that
distance IN breadth. In this space one
observer counted over 200 reptiles, from
eight TO fifteen feet long, and smaller ones
inuumerable. They are 50 tame, IN a
sense that it is necessary TO poke them
with a stick before they Will move. Buf-
faioes are always satnding IN the water

animal Is instantly seized THE whole

TEEN ON A RAzoK's EDGE
wbv Months Rest VIII Improve t"e
Piece OF Steel.

Tho edge OF a razor consists OF innu-
nerable points or teeth" which, IL the
razor IS of good material, follow each
other throughout its whole length with
great order and clearness, says the 81
I,ouis Republic. The unbroken regularity
of these minute teeth" go to make up
the blades excessive keenness. The edge
acts upon the beard not so much by direct
application Of weight or force as II does
nv a slight "see-saw" movement, which
causes the successive teeth TO act
rapidly on one certain part OF the nary
growth. The best razors. according 10
the microscopists, have the teeth OF tnelr
edges set as regularly as those OF
perfectly set saw. This explains the
magic effect Of hot water on the razor S
blade-the act OF dipping ii thoroughly
cleansing the teeth OF any greasy or dirty
substance with which they may have
been clogged BARRIERS often claim that
razors get tired" OF shaving and that
they will be all right after awhile, II

"tired" condition a microscopic examina-
ton OF the edge shows that constant
stropping by the same person has caused
the teeth or fibres Of the edge TO all ar

cles 10 arrange themselves so that they

A Young Negro Dangerously Wounded In

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-As a result

Washington people have been plac-
ed during the past few weeks by
the operations Of individuals. each
dubbed Jack the Slasher." a young
negro named willis Washington lies
dangerously wounded at the Emer-
gency hospital. while the police
man who shot him is under arrest.
Jack the Sasher" or some miscreant
known by that name, has been guilty
Of all kinds of mysterious offences.
Houses have been entered and furniture
cut or slashed into pieces: bric-a-brac
has been destroyed, carpets smeared with
lard. butter o1al, oil. etc. and the
apartments had been made unfit for
occupancy. The vandalism was report
ed night after night. until women and
children became almost frantic with
fear, and a reign Of terror was created.
The policemen have arrested numerous
suspicious characters, but the slashing
continued. Within the past few days po-
lice officers have donned citizens clothes.
and are engaged in holding up all per-
sons found In the streets at suspici-
Gus hours. Washington was hailed by
officers Terry and Steurman at $3.50
O'Clock this morning, In the northern
part OF the city. He became frightened
and started 10 run, thinking the officers
I'm citizens clothes were might doctors"
or other persons engaged IN killing peo-
pie TO sell their bodies 10 medical col
leges. a superstitious fear that prevails
among coored people in Washington.
Officer Terry fired twice at the fleeing
negro. and the second shot took effect
in the back. Washington bore a good
reputation, and It is certain that he is
not the slasher. though he is not able
TO give a very satisfactory explanation
OF his presence on the streets at that
hour. His recovery Is doubtful.

SECRETARY CARLI>LE,s SPEECH

The speech which Secretary Carlisle
made at the banquet Of the New York
Chamber OF Commerce is one of the
clearest and most complete discussions of
the elementary principles Of sound
money that we have ever met with. 1t is
simply amazing that a man who has such
clear conceptions of the basis OF all sound
finance could ever have been tainted with
the heresies OF free silver. for the present
speech is about the most complete over
throw for all that the free silver iunatics
contend for that we have ever met with.
We wish we could know that the follow
ing passage from it mad been read and
understood by every man. woman, aud
child in the United States. 1t could not
be improved on:
There can be no international legal
tender without an international agree
ment, but there must, from the very ne
cessities OF the case. always be a common
basis upon which bargains are made and
common currency In which balances
are settled No one nation can determine
for the others what thar basis shall be or
what that currency shall be. Ii may es-
tablish a currency for itself and for the
use Of its own people in their domestic
trade. but the value Of that currency will
be ultimately measured and conclusiyely
fixed by the International standard, what
ever that may be. The stamp on its coins
attests their weight and fineness. but n
adds nothing whatever 10 their intrinsic
value. and nothing whatever to their ex-
changeable value in the markets OF the
world; so that nations stock Of inter
national money always consists OF lis IN
coined bullion and the bullion value OF its
coins, II cannot augment It's stock Of
such money 10 any extent whatever by
overvaluing either gold or silver I'm ,ts

HAD Ra,lroad Accident.

Fifteen people were killed In the accident
which occurred after midnight Sunday morn
ing in the little village of Berlin, near CAL
vary cemetery, in the town of Newton. The
Long Island railroad train that left Manhat-
tan Beach at IL :15 o'clock was over taken by
the train that left Rockaway Beach fifteen
minutes earlier. In the frightful collision
that ensucd the two rear cars of the five that
made up the Manhattan Beach train were de-
molished and the middle car was overturned.
Hardly one of the score of the passengers
aboard these three cars escaped unhurt
Passengers In the three cars were MANNED
and mangied horribly and their sbrieks OF
terror and pain made one sick with dread.
The Rockaway engine was wrecked, the tim
bers of the wrecked cars sticking init. Upon
the timbers were human beings impaled, some
dead and Others gasping their last breath.
High up on the top the dead body OF man
unidentified. Upon one Of the cars was i'm
paled the body of Mrs Diezel, upon another
wns the body of Sydney Weinstein.
The scene was indescribably horrible. The
dead and wounded were massed among HE
wreckage, beside, npon and beyond the tracks.
Everything was spattered with blood and the
cries of the wounded rose above the Kissing of
steam and the calls Of the frantic trainmen
