alone lused his injury. All the tenders
and safeguards In the word could not
have preveute his MIN ding. But the
accident itself serves as "A text to preach
quitea sermon To tn sc who are in charge
ofthe Union railroai, for they have 1t In
their power to prevent the Occurrences in
Providence OF the awful accidents
that are almost daily happen
ing in other large cities.
1t certainly is not the fault Of tho en-
ployes OF the company that this city has
so long been exempt from these street
car tragedies for they do everything to
invite them. Tie Broad street slectrics
will lever lop for man TO board them;
If lie can not hop on while they are run
ning five and six miles AN hour he may
wait for the next car and perhaps a more
obligiug motorman. For example
there are generally four men who
take a certain Broad street electric
every morning at the same corner.
The motor man slackens his speed a bit
but 1t is IA case OF cltch-as-catch-can aud
the last man has had to run alongside
the car for rod or two before he finally
lands on tie platform. Day In and day
out has this occurred In spite OF prot iests,
and ali the way along the line Is this
kind OF tactics employed. IL invites
carelesspess, and one of these days will
result in a NEST serious accident. The
time to prevent It is before 1t
occurs, and rule should at once
be put in force making it absolutely COM
pulsory on the part Of the motorman to
bring his car 10 full stop when parties
signal the car 1t would be a simple
matter aud might save the loss OF limbs
and probably life.
Women should never 20 I'm the early
morning to get boots aud shoes fitted. In
the latter part OF the day the feet are at
their maximum size. Activity and stand

would remember this rule, there would not
be so many complaints Of shoes when worn
being tight which, when fitted. seemed SO
comfortable.
The Loo king Glass is asked il thers

IL Is the Model Town. which covers an
area of 25 square miles In the garden

A reader wants to know IL the prefix
Van signifies nobility. as I'm the case of
Van Alien, Van Win kle, etc. II does not.
II is a common mistake OF Americans to
think that the predicate ivan" before a
Dutch name signified nobility In the low
Hountries-that is. in tie kingdoms Of
the Netherlands and of Beleium--"van"
has no part Gu ar meaning Names with
''van" are to be read on shops. as well as
on the doors of the most
aristocratic mansions. The humbest
persons have H. as we'll as the
most refined. On the other hand
great number OF the very oldest families
ars without it.. In Germany "von -
means noble and all persons belonging TO
the nobility have "von" before cir
family names, without any exc ,ptiop.
Persons who do not belong TO the no
bility cannot put won" before their
names, as they have no right to do so.

An experienced teacher used to say that
he could always tell the children who lived
unhappily at home. They were much more
troublesome at school. and were almost al
ways on the alert for Sights and offenses,
and far more difficult to control than the
children who came from happy and peace
able families.

Little stores that are set up in the
peighbCrhood Of the big schools catch
great many penni,s OF the school child
