wretched Riding to Harlem.

To the Editor:
The Madison Avenue Car Company's patrons
who ride above Eigh:y-ntth street have much
cause to complain. The accommodation provided
for It's Harlem passengers is, to say the least OF
II, an injustice. II they do not happen to be on
a Harlem car. they are told to change cars at
Eighty NTH street. Then they must walt until a
Harlem car comes along. which Is about every
fourth or NTH car. and In seven cases out OF ten
there is not a vacant seat in 1t. All the pas
sengers from the three or four previous cars THE
greater part OF whom are women and c~hildren)
must get on this car and stand for the rest OF the
journey, or until somebody gets on. In many in
stances l have, through this arrangement. been
obliged to stand until I got to one Hundred and
Sixteenth street. Any time between the hours OF
$50 and $40 p. NJ. II is almost impossible to

The brain displayed unusu- ally numerous cerebral sinuations, such as are known to be generally observed in the brains of persons of very great intellect. The physicians and patholo- gists who conducted the examination were extremely interested in what they saw, and cast of the brain was immediately taken. Other organs of the body showeds some signs of disorder, but ill his lifetime the deceased had not experienced any inconvenience there from

pr. Holmes and the Reporter.

A young newspaper man, just out of Harvard, who has since made his way in the world with entire credit to him. self and the college, was sent down to Beverly Farms to interview Dr. Holmes on his birthday. The young man, being a gentleman, was little afraid that he was committing what would be n very unwelcome impertinence, but there was no way out of it, except by way which also led out of his situation. So he went with fear and trembling. He found the doctor as gracious as could be, and when the interview was over the autocrat himself drove the young man down to the station. chatting pleasantly all the way.
 At the station there was some time to wait, and Dr. Holmes, with twinkle in his eye, suggested that he and the young journalist go over to the store and be weighed. The young man was very nearly of the same height and build as the doctor. but at the time was in rather poor health. Or. Holmes made the jour nalist get on the scales first. He weigh ed exactly i30 pounds Then Dr. Holmes himself got on and tipped the beam at 140 and was very much pleased. Itwas plain enough that he had 'sized up" the young man as about of his own pro- portions and had guessed that he could outweigh him, and it had tickled hls fancy to find himself at the age of 80 a "better man" than the youth.

 The caprices of fortune ever consti. tute a subject for special wonder, but the glorious uncertainties of the turf afford perhaps a wider scope for refiec- tions on the ups and downs of life than almost any other sphere of action.

So deeply was she impressed with it that she asked her father to place her savings of small change on Peytonia, the total amount being $2, which he agreed to do. On arrival at the park he at once discovered that Peytonia's s chances for victory appeared to be very slim, one bookmaker offering 400 to against her. Lowrey, nothing daunted, placed the $2 per order, and in doing so provoked smile from the man on the block, which so nettled him that he promptly placed s more at 10 to for the place. As has so often happened be- fore, Peytonia fairly dropped from the clouds" when the horses were fairly strengthened out in the stretch, and to the amazement of every one won the race with comparative ease.
