In the Wrong Car.

A passenger on an up town electric
car had reached her street and wanted
to get out. The car was full of people
standing in the aisle, and as she thread
ed her way they moved closer together
to let her pass. She had nearly reached
the door when she stumbled and fell.
Another passenger who got out at the
same street had just left her seat, and
into this the woman who stumbled fell
heavily on her face. She at once rose
and looked for the obstruction and saw
that it was a large sample case.
"A nice idea,' = she said angrily, ''to
put a great thing like that in the mid
die of the car for people to fall over.
I've sprained my wrist striking on the
car when fell over it. j" - 49, RI

Dangerous Surgery.

Medical authorities have in some
cases had reason to regret too active
and energetic surgery in diseases Of the
nose and throat. It has in number Of
instances appeared that partial or en-
tire deafness has followed operations,
and complete loss Of the sense Of smell
is not uncommon. Conservatism is gain
ing ground among the best surgeons,
and palliative treatment is recommends
ed whenever there seems to be chance
that it might have the desired effect.
The best doctors know that the knife is
a good servant, but an exceedingly bad
master, and only those whose skill and
Judgment are likely to be faulty are
willing to cut and slash on the slight

CURIOUS TEA PARTIES.
The Odd and Eternal Little Functions That
Are Held In Pearl Street.

The Odd and Eternal Little Functions That
Are Held In Pearl Street.
There is an everlasting tea party in
function on Pearl street, near Hanover
square. An aroma Of freshly stepped
leaves fillssthe air all the week, and fol-
lowing your nose to the cause you will
find it pointing down to little gloomy
Easements where teacups are perpetual
5lys spread. They are all plain white
cups, and there is no display Of table,
cloth or dainty cakes just plain tea.
And the methods of the tea parties that
foregather there are just as plain and
unceremonious.
They generally consist of old gentle
men of severely respectable appearance,
and when these old parties feel like it
they 60 down the basement steps and
take pinch of tea out of caddy or
suacer, or whatever it may be kept in,
and put it in the cup and pour little
hot water on it, but never any milk or
sugar. And then, despite their eminent
~ respectable air, they dip their fingers
in the cups and stir the tea leaves about

and chewing it.
But, strangest thing Of all, they new
er drink their tea after all the trouble
they have taken with it. In fact, they
seem to take a strong dislike to the in.
fusion as soon as it is before them
Sometimes they sniff att, and if ever
they take it into their mouths they do
but roll it around and spit it out.
Moreover, they will do the same things
with half a dozen cups in succession

reason would have cried out at the
waste Of the cheering but uninebriat.
ing beverage.
Meanwhile other gentlemen sit also
at the table and anxiously watch all
this shifting and splitting, for these are
the tea tasters and samplers, and this
is where tea is bought and sold not by
the pound, but by the carload. New

= 4hes Tricks "a Is called nIi,nd;
1Rsa1iers Solved ~ DE-. HysloI,.
i. Hyslop Of Column iia college, Gays
awrfitter IA the Boston Herald, has help
ITO bring down several 90 called mind
readers who have visited New York.
The #Tayl ors, 9 man and woman who
gave exhibi tions in New FORK two
years ago and convinced nearly every
one who saw them Of the genuineness Of
their manife stations, gave private Sc.
ance for the benefit Of this Columbia
professor and some Of his scientific
friends. They found hidden objects,
they picked out cards that had been Sc
lected from pack and then shufHed IN
again, and all the other familiar tricks,
with more than common success, one Of
them staying in the room and being in
the secret, and the other coming IN aft
er all was ready and supposedly read
ing the partners mind. v 5is.
All went we'll until DR.. Hyslop and a
confederate took the Taylors aback by
announcing that they could do the Same
things. They had found that the words
used BY one Of the ''mind readers in
calling the other into the room were
what gave the desired information. It
was discovered that by skillful arrange
ment Of not more than six words sur
prising amount Of information could be
conveyed. This is the first time the fact
that the Taylors were not genuine mind
readers has been made public
Another ''mind reader exposed by
DR.. Hyslop and coinvestigators was
Guibal, who gave exhibitions in New
York recently and astonished hundreds
of persons, most Of whom suppose to.
this day that his tricks were bona fide
psychic phenomena. Guibal's assistant
was woman called Greville, who sat
on the stage, and who, SO far as could
be seen for a long time, gave him abso-
lutely no sign Of what was in her mind.
Guibal apparently read that mind as if
it were an open book. The whole thing
was found to be trick, and the expla-
nation is now in the archives of the So
ciety for Psychical Research. 1t is be-
lieved that Guibal and Greville were
the same persons whose performances
had amazed London not long before. /
The woman breathed very heavily, and
the code Of signals lay in the manner Of
her breathing, messages being conveyed
by long and short breaths, something
like the dots and dashes in the Morse
telegraph code. <f =. IA

Gum Balloons and Bagpipes That Spread
Loathsome Diseases.
There are few persons who walk along
has not been directed to the exceedingly
ingenious toys which are sold by the
itinerant vendors for the delectation OF
children. One Of these is hollow tube
of paper, furnished with a short piece
of bamboo at one end, up to which it is
coiled by the action of q very slight steel
spring. On blowing into the bamboo the
coil is unrolled and reaches forward
nearly yard. The sudden extension OF
this coil produced by blowing in it is q
source of great amusement. Toy bag
pipes are also popular contrivances.
These are not blown in the usual way.
but the breath Of the performer is made
to initiate small india rubber ball,
which, once blown into, supplies suf-
popular tune. -, ~ @>
Our contemporary, The Lancet, has
called attention to the possible conse-
quences Of buying these toys, which, it
says, are presented to a child after hav-
ing been inflated by questionable breath,
and perhaps wet with the moisture
of the still more questionable lips Of the
vender. An infected mouthpiece, it
says, has not unfrequently been known
to be the origin of grave constitutional
troubles This is perfectly true. Persons
who would hesitate to drink out Of a
glass that has been used will buy and
present toys Of this kind to their chill
dren, not knowing by whom they have
been used or by what disease they may
be contaminated. Among the impover-
ished makers and vendors sore threats,
diphtheria and contagious fevers in ev-
cry stage may be raging, and children
may contract fatal diseases even of a
worse character than any we have men,
toned by blowing and using these ques-
tionable toys. Surely it is only neces-
sary to call attention Of persons to the
evil, for careful supervision would pre-
vent the dissemination of loathsome
disorders by these means. London

The First Railroads.

The first railroad in the United
States was projected by Gridley Bry.
ant, a civil engineer, in 1926. 1t was
built to convey granite. from the quar-.
ries at Quincy, Mass, to Tidewater.
Its length was four miles, and its cost
$4,000. The ties were of stone,
placed eight feet apart on the road
bed. On rails of wood, six inches
thick, wrought.iron plates three
inches wide and quarter of an inch
thick, were spiked. The second rail-
road was built in 1927, for hauling
coal from the mines at Mauch Chunk,
Pa. Peter Cooper, of New York built
the first locomotive ever constructed
in the United States. In 1925 a char.
ter was granted, for the Mohawk &
Hudson railroad, to unite Albany and
Schenectady. and in 1880 work was
begun on this road, which was the
seed from which has grown the mag.
nificent New York Central Railroad.
Horses were the original motive pow.
er used, but reports being received
from Europe of successful trials of
the locomotive there, it was resolved
to employ steam. In August, 1881,
the West Point foundry of New York,
completed and delivered to the Mo.
hawk 4 Hudson company the "DeWitt
Clinton" the first locomotive used in
the state. The chief engineer, in his
preliminary report to the projectors,
did not expect that revenue would be
derived from any source except carry.
ing passengers, yet, being man Of
foresight, lie thought it possible that
some freight might be offered, and SO
suggested that the foundations ought
to be made very solid. There are
now 2l5.O0O miles of railroad in our
country. having more than l,5O0,0
cars and locomotives, carrying annu.
ally nearly 60O,0O0,000 passengers and
750,000,O00 tons of freight. In the
