AN ARTFUL APPEAL.

silver from Passersby.
An illustra ton of the depth to which
one woman has sunk Tor risen) in the
art of begging may be seen any evening
after dark on the downtown streets
of Chicago. This woman has no favor
tie street-she simply plays them all
usually side streets. where the young
man with his best girl as often glides
through, because the crowds are not so
dense nor the lights so brilliant.
This woman has two confederates,
who dress and act like laboring men
Each carries his little tin pail and each
shows evidence Of having been hard at
work. A young society man and his
girl walk slowly along, Indifferent to
the world. Neither hears the almost
inaudible appeal for help. AS the
young couple pass the mendicant the
men with their tin pals and grimy
hands stop short and block the way.
Lets chip in nickel apiece and
help that poor, starving creature" says
one of them.
GAIL right, Joe, I'll do it. I earned
an extra quarter to-day and I can just
spare&atnickel.'''
This not only attracts the attention
Of the lovers. but it brings tears to the
eyes of the girl, and involuntarily the
thought flashes through the young
mans mind that if two laborers can
give up portion of their hard-earncd
money, he can part with at least Is
cents and oftener more, owing largely
to what sort Of an impression he wants
to make upon his companion.
And so, a bright silver coin drops
into the cup held by the poor, starving;
creature, a few muitled sounds of "Bless
you, my children, bless you," com"
from the bunch of rags sitting upon
the raised step, and the little crowd Of
laborers, sweet hearts, and object OF
charity dissolves-each feeling hap
pier and more contented.
The young man never knows he has
been worked" so to speak, ana neither
does the next victim, nor the next, for
be it known that the programme re-
lated above is repeated until there are
no lovers parad;ng up and down the
side streets at night.--Chicago Times

RlGHTTo SLEEPING GAR SEATS.
There IL m Unwritren Law Which 10
Tscitly Rocognlzed by Trsvelors.

There IL ~ Unwritren Law Which L.
Tscitly Recognized by Travellers.
An amicable controversy between
some men who, being of amiable dispo-
sition, have always managed TO travel
about the country without getting into
suuabbles~with fellow travellers, led to
inquiries by reporter as to the rule
of the seat in sleeping car in tho
United States. Who has the right to
the rear seat in a sleeping car section?
was the question asked 1t was as
serted, on the one hand, that by rule or
law the holder of the lower berth ticket
had the right to the seat that enabled
him to ride facing the engine. Tho
claim was put forward. on the other
hand, that he had no privileges in tho
matter of seat before those of the up
per berth passengers.
There is no law to govern in the mat
ter and one sleeping car company has
a rule covering the case. and the other
hasn't. The Wagner company has
rule by which the holder of the lower
berth ticket is entitled to the rear seat.
The obvious reason is that commonly
the first arrivals at the ticket Office ask
for lower berths, and on the principle Of
first come first served the first conner il
entitled to the choice of seats, which,
by common acceptation. would mean
the seat enabling him to ride forward.
To that seat on the Wagner cars he Is
entitled.
The Pullman company has no rule
&. 10 ,no<<ov Tho <iCkofS ~ neither
company call for particular seats with
in the specified sections. In ordinary
practice lower berth Pullman passen-
gers get the rear seats, just as on the
Wagner cars. The companies find that
the American public adjust their own
affairs pretty generally without pater-
nal oversight of the companies. An Of
ficer Of one of the companies recalls
Just one instance where q passenger
raised row over the matter of rear
seat; q corresponding officer of tho
other could not call to mind any In
stance.
On one railroad which operates it's
own sleeping cars from New York 10
is said that there is rule giving tho
lower berth passenger the rear seat.
In some cases the railroad systems rem
der a governing rule needless. Forin-
stance. q passenger from the west on
the Pennsylvania road may leave New
York facing the engine. but on leaving
Philadelphia will find himself looking
toward the rear of the train instead OF
in the direction in which the train Is
carrying him. On the New York Gem
trail road the same thing happens att
Buffalo. The train goes in on loop and
the engine is detached. An engine
couples to what has been the rear car
and takes the train on toward Cleve-
land. More than one person has gone
to sleep feet foremost in westerns
bound train going across central New
York in the evening and awoke to find,
himself being carried head first into
Cleveland in the morning.

Whatever discomforts the traveller

against the clear tropic sky. Still
farther into the interior, following the
windings of the Rio Cuyuni, the green
banks of which are bright with scarlet
passion-fowers, you see mone noun
tain peaks, and innumerable cascades
and waterfalls tumbling and roaring
over rocks that raise their black heads
above the surface Of the water. On all
sides countless parasites entwine them
selves in the most intricate and fantas-
tic fashion around the branches Of the
lofty trees.
It was my good fortune to reach one
of the Hottest of the Imataca peaks just
at sunset, the hour that most impresses
all travellers. To the south and east, as
far as the eye could reach, the scene was
one of indescribable beauty and grand

like serpent of a thousand colors. The
soft rays of the afternoon sun, glimmer-
ing through the mist of waters, fell
upon the river in showers of rubies,
sapphires and diamonds. Soon darkness
closed upon the valley for in the tropics
the twilight is as brief as it is entranc-
ing; and on all sides the tiny camp
fires of the Indians twinkled like
myriads of firefies. Now and then the
stiffness was broken by the night cry
of some wild animal in the distant
jungle.-W. Nephew King, in Century.

have been impossible to kindle fire.
The tempest of rain soon passed
