Brooches covered with diamonds to the

Two natural developments of the pop

Some of the diseases which flesh is heir
to are contagious in every sense of the
word. A contact so slight that it does
not reach even skin contact, but merely
contact with the air which smallpox
patients breathe, is sufficient to cause
smallpox in man. So, too, mediate con-
tact-that is to say, the handling by the
we'll of material touched by the sick
has been proved to be the cause of many
diseases, of which erysipelas and scarlet
fever may be cited as examples. The
products of certain other diseases -
typhoid fever, for example-require to
be taken into the economy to become
malefcent. Still others, such as glanders,
must be introduced into the blood cur
rent itself before they are dangerous.
These facts have been proved by long
observation and are not to be disputed.

Mcmahon and Grevy.

In Paris, in the revolution of 1880, a
law student was soundly kicked by one
of the kings officers for tearing down a
copy of the ordinances placarded on the
wall. The officer was armed, the student
was not; SO the latter ran away. Nearly
a half century later-in lS79-the officer
called upon the student to bid him good
by, having just resigned the presidency
Of the French republic on account Of a
radical difference with the majority of
the national assembly on questions of
state policy. He combined with his
adieux, also, graceful word of con-
gratulations on the students election to
succeed him in the presidential chair.
The student was Jules Grevy; the officer
was Patrice de MacMahon, who died
ripe in years and honors.-Kate Field

THE LONDON CABBY.
Dramatic Little Incidents Connected With
the Reception of His Exact Fare.

the Reception of His Exact Fare.
Everybody who has lived in London
has witnessed the dramatic little Incl
dents connected with cabby's reception
of his exact fare. His hirer, having
alighted, stands on the pavement and
feels for his purse. Cabby meanwhile
leans over the railing Of his seat with a
benignaut and ingratiating smile. That
smile, it may be stated at once. is a
fraud. 1t is not genuine beam of good
nature, but is one of cabby's business
"props" 1t is a smile of much mean
ing, and cabby throws his whole soul
into it. 1t is trusting and confident. 1t
insinuates that cabby feels that he has
met in you man in whom he recog-
nizes a peculiarly generous nature. 1t
means that cabby has no anxiety. He
knows that you are going to give him
something for himself.
But as a matter of fact, if you watch
cabby closely, you will see the hollow
ness of its professions. Cabby's eyes are
very wide open, and he is scanning
great deal more carefully than his fare
the little pile of silver that gentleman Is
oNCi III iiio AhSiA AAS
stretches down his hand, broad and fat,
but trustingly, assured that he is about
to be treated as man should be. The
fat palm ascends again, but as his fare
turns to depart, the smile dies away.
For a moment, as if dazed, he gazes
blankly into his hand; then a look of
mingled contempt and Indignation passes
over his expressive face. He turns fierce
ly on his prey.
"Ere, wot's this!"
"Your fare" floats back to him.
"My fare" in tone of scathing scorn
tiny farev'
Then rapidly and with businesslike
manner, as if the time for emotion We're
passed now:
ERE, 'old ard; wants another tan
ner."
BY this time his fare, if he knows any
thing at all about cabmen, is well under
way. Cabby, standing up, dashes the
offending shilling on the ground with a
gesture of ineffable loathing, as at some
unclean thing. No good. His fare is
disappearing, unconcerned, and cabby,
convinced that the game is up, but loath
to relinquish his Indignation, slowly un-
swathes himself from the folds Of his
voluminous blanket, descends as slowly,
picks up the innocent shilling still more
slowly, mounts again, gathers up his
reins with one final blighting look be-
hind him and drives away, his face that
of a man who never till that moment
had sounded the hideous depths of sor'
did human nature.-London Sketch.

should be buried in his chrisom in lieu

Industrial News

Yesterday afternoon, at conference
between ]. K. jolly and committee Of
the striking employees on the electric
railway on the Ohio side Of the river, q
compromise was effected, and this morn
ing the running Of cars will be resumed.
The settlement was brought about
through the efforts of Mr.. J. C. Helm
lein, who sounded both sides as to their
willingness TO settle on the basis Of four
teen cents an hour. The prospects be-
ing good, be saw that committee from
the men called upon Mr.. Jolly, at the
Office of the company, and then it was
not long until an agreement was reached
for the men to 90 TO work at fourteen
cents an hour, to work under tho old
arrangement Of nine hours day Until
April lst, after which date the men will
work twelve hours a day, thereby max
ing more money than they did before
the reduction of q cent an hour went
into effect.
The announcement that the cars will
be running again to-day will be good
news TO people all along the Ohio side
of the river.
The Company will put on two extra
cars to-day.
Mr.. Jolly remarked last evening to =
REGISTER reporter, that he thought he
had as good d set OF men as ever worked
on a street car line, and for this reason
he considered them worth more at four
teen cents than new men would be at
thirteen. The Company are now tax
ing bids on six new and handsome sum-
mer motors for use on the line 10 the
fast approaching sultry weather, which
will be much more pleasant to ride in
during the summer months.

stllon To-Day.
Several people from this city and
surrounding towns will go out to Mas
silon to-day to see the start OF COxey
and his army" for Washington, but
there will be no formal delegation from
this vicinity TO take part in the move
ment from the Ohio city.

five or thirty men In Benwood, Friday
night, and it was agreed they would
wait until an actual start is made from
Massilon, and II IL amounted to any
thug they would 90 Up TO Pittsburg,
and join the army" in that city.
There Is no doubt but that a coDsld-
cradle sentiment in this portion OF the
Ohio Valley favorable to the COxey idea,
prevails, and was only kept from crys-
talizing into something definite by the
fear that the whole thing would
end in burlesque and that
no one would show up al

Had the rendezvous been somewhere in
Indiana or Illinois, aud q start actually
have been made, the army would un-
