The Railway Zone System.

Official figures just issued of the work
ing of the zone system on the railways
of Hungary snow excellent results. The
system was introduced some three years
ago. The country is divided into circles
or zones. within which stated fares are
charged, the principle being that the
greater the distance from the capital the
less the proportionate rate per mile trav-
eled The system has greatly increased
the amount of travel For some years
previous to its introduction the number
of travellers averaged 100000 a year
In the first year of the zone tariff sys-
tenn the number rose to 10000, 900, the
second year to 10, 600, 900, while last year
the number of travellers on the railways
was %, zoo. 900. The receipts have in
creased from 8. 705, 900 guilders during the
last year of the old system to 2S, 300 900
guilders in 1892. Chicago Tribune.

How 8 Fashion Was Started.

During the reign of George III the
Duke of York had duel with Colonel
Lennox, with the result that the colonel
succeeded in shooting away one of the
duke's curls. Hence it became the cor
rect thing to wear curl on one side of
the temple only. We do not know
whether this was the origin of the cele-
brated curl of deceased prime minis
