An explanation of the operation of railway air-brakes recently published brings it within the comprehension of the most inexpert: Under each of the cars is rubber pipe connected with an air compressor on the engine. This pipe leads to and supplies an air reser- voir under each car. These reservoirs are loaded from the engine with com pressed air to the amount of seventy pounds each. The pressure of this air keeps open the brakes, and as long as the compressed air remains in the reser- vOirS under the cars the brakes are open. By turning the lever on the en- zine the compressed air is released. and as it is released the brakes on each of the cars close automatically. pressing against the wheels and practically lock ing them. AS soon as the train is brought to a full stop, of which the panting of the compressed air as it es- capes from under the cars gives notice, the reservoirs are again filled by turn of the lever on the engine, and this fills the reservoirs under the cars, and there by automatically releases all the brakes at once." There have been many other devices for the safeguarding of the lives of travellers, but it is doubtful if the interests of safety have been pro- noted more extensively by any other one agency.

The accidental killing of young Gro use of a real dagger instead of the usual property pig sticker has recalled sum- dry mishaps of like character But nothing approaches one of the earliest recorded real stage tragedies. It oc- cured in Stockholm in the sixteenth century. The actor who played Lon- ginus in "The Mystery of the Passion" entered so into the spirit of his role that he actually thrust the spear into the side of the actor personating Christ on the Cross and killed him. Here the play stopped, but it served as merely a prologue for the real tragedy which followed. The King, who was in the audience, was so incensed at the actor that he leaped on the stage and with T stroke of his sword Topped off the of lenders head. But this was only the second act. The audience concluded to take hand in the performance. The actors zeal had pleased them, even if he had been so carried away as to kill in reality, and they were so angry at the King for staying the tragedian that they finished the tragedy by killing the King. The lovers of tragedy and real ism had no kick coming on that show. The custom of killing good actors is de- cidedly reprehensible. There are none to spare. But it might be good scheme to give a suffering public a chance to get at the hamfatters that aff1ict the stage.

Steve Brodie, B. J. (meaning Bridge
 Jumper), has once more turned bene-
 factor to the human race, and in the most surprising manner MT. Bodie achieved fame literally at Ieap-from the Brooklyn bridge That rendered him eligible as a dime museum attrac- tiOn, and finally he is alleged to have become an actor. With his accumu- lated spOnduliks he opened a saloon on the BOwery. Mr. Brodie has dis tinguished himself by various eccen- tricities since. Once he offered free meals for all corners who were out of work, and when the Sunday law was first enforced he kept his saloon open and gave away soft drinks rather than that his friends should go thirsty. He really gave the drinks away. There was no selling of sandwiches for a blind, or any other attempt to evade the law. But MT. BrOdie's crowning philanthropy is in establishing jag cure in the rear of his justly celebrated saloon. It is a beautiful arrangement. A man can blow himself on a weeks drunk in front, and when he is broke he can go to the rear and have his thirst permanently cured. MT. Brodie req sons philosophically. He has made most of his money out of drinking men. and the cost of hiring a jag cure doc. tor is orly returning the unfortunates part of their money. Besides he fig ureS 1t out that a man who has got Tn the stage where the jag cure is neces- sary is source of mighty little profit to the saloOnkeeper or anybody else. In card to the public Mir. Brodie views with alarm" the increase of habitual drunkenness, without expert encing any bricks of conscience for helping to make drunkards in his thirst emporium, and offers to cure free of charge to all corners, winding up by hoping that in a week 'dere won't be a bum on de BoWery"

Manufaotured Authorities.

When it Is remembered that during the past half century nearly every quarter of Europe has been visited by hundreds and thousands of tourists, all with the collecting instinct more or less strongly developed, it ought to occur to the man of average intelligence that the stock of genuine relics and antiQui- ties has long since been exhausted. It will interest many to know that man. Ufactured antiquities abound wherever the traveller sets his foot. In Italy, par ticularly at Rome, this is especially the case.
 A few years ago, when the Fiber was being dredged for the recovery of cer- tain works of art which were supposed to be buried i'll the thick strata of mud, lot of vases, fragments of statues and other antique" things were fished out snd sold to the confiding tourist at fancy prices; the game went on for a long time until, indeed, an extensive pottery for the manufacture of ancient Roman and Grecian urns was discover ed and by this time the authorities found out that the portions of statues were the work of indigent sculptors Three or four years ago, seventeen Egyptian mummies" in the old mu- scum of Berlin proved to be the bodies of fellows who, not so very long ago, drank lager in the beer gardens of the aSherland.-Temple Bar.

THE CURFEW LAW.

Benefits Conceded by Every Com-
 Edward w. Box, in the Ladies' Home Journal, reviews the provisions and operations of the curfew ordinance, which, in variously modified forms, has been adopted by municipal legislative bodies in the West. He gives hearty indOrsement to the law. and asserts that, although it met with general op. position at first, there is not a city or town in which it has been enforced. that would have it abolished "Wher- ever the curfew ordinance has gone into effect" MT. Box contends, tits ad- vantages have been conceded. This is true now of over three hundred towns and cities, some as large in population as Omaha and Topeka. In each case the excellence of the law has become apparent, opposing parents have con ceded its wisdom, and even children are said to be pleased, with it. It has plac- effective weapon for clearing the streets of hOOdlumS at night. and in many cases where disorder reigned at street corners Quietness, law and order now prevail. So well has the ordinance worked that reports, gathered from not less than forty of the towns where it is e law, show that the fine or imprison- ment penalty has not been inflicted iu a single case. The first caution has served the purpose. These reports show, too, that the ordinance is not en. forced in any oppressive manner In the case of evening winter or summer entertainments, which would keep the children out later than the curfew hour, authority is easily obtained and readily granted by the Mayor or town official for an extension of time. It's rigid enforcement is applied most strict ly to the hoodlum element, and with this class the police claim they have never been able to deal so successfully. It will be at once obvious to all right minded parents, I think, that they should give the weight of their influ- ence to the curfew ordinance wherever it may be presented. Taken from any and every standpoint, 1t IS an excellent thing, and it may wisely be encouraged by parents all over our land."

w arts,

The troublesome excrescences called warts with which some people and many animals are afflicted have been treated with not few superstitious remedies. Every country neighborhood has its own method of treatment, and every grown person will remember the boyish practice of rubbing a string over the wart, tying a knot for every wart, and throwing the string over the shoul- der into a stagnant pool, believing that as soon as the string decayed the warts would disappear. Surgeons say that the only remedy for warts is the knife and thorough authorization, even this not always, in the first instance, accom- plishing the desired object; but the sup erstitions of rural districts are not to be affected by the march of modern science, and it is probable that for hun dreds of years to come boys will still be tying strings and throwing them into stagnant pools in the confident ex- pectation that this treatment will prove a certain cure.
