Murders in Railway Carriages,

In the course of the last thirty years
there have been twenty-eight murders OF
attempted murders on French railway
lines. Most of these have been in express
trains and during night journeys, and in
almost every case the assault has been in a
first class carriage 1t is curious that
chloroform has been comparatively rarely
used on these occasions and scarcely ever
with success. The application of the drug
causes, it is said, kind of movement of
repulsion which defeats it's utility by wax
ing its intended victim. And this is true
even If a narcotic is first used to make the
patient an easier prey.
OF the twenty eight attempts there were
convictions only in thirteen cases. More
than half the culprits escaped. One assas-
sin, having secured his booty, had the
courage to pull the cord, and, in the con-
fusion of the stopping train, escaped away
into the darkness by the off side of the car.
riage. Fortunately he was afterward ar
rested, or the crin might have become
more frequent. According to French
statistician, France takes the lead in this
kind of outrage Her twenty eight cases
are not approached by any other European
country. Austria has had one; Spain, two;
England, four; Italy, five; Russia and
Turkey, each seven; while in Germany,
Switzerland, Holland and Belgium there
have been no instances of murder.-Pall

Why Women Have Sore Throats

at sounds like an exaggeration, but
women who are devoted to society very
often suffer from peculiar throat trou-
BILE as direct result of their social du-
ties, said Pittsburg doctor. 1T is not
caused by decollete dresses, as might be
supposedseither, or the rapid transitions
from hot rooms to the cool outer air, al
though these things are not conducive
to robust health. The affection refer
to comes from straining of the vocal
cords, and often takes ON the form of
tonsilitis. Any one who has attended
half dozen fashionable receptions, and
especially those at which women only
were present, must have noticed how the
clamor of many tongues in crowded
rooms make it necessary to raise the
voice to be heard.
"The fact is that when fifty or hun
dred women meet in parlor-often
ridiculously small room for such gath
ering-the average woman who wants to
get word in even edgeways must shout
at the top Of her voice. Let her keep
this up for half an hour in general SUI
perheated atmosphere and her throat is
bound to suffer. When she gets home
she feels as if she had caught cold, and
very likely for day or two after she
will have an aching in her throat, which
she will blame ON the abominable eli
mate, that stupid girl Jemima, who
would have the dining room window
open or some other innocent thing or per-
son. She is literally paying the price for
making Rome howl. and tell her so
when she comes to me and wants me to
diagnose la grippe in her symptoms. ~
