Railway Grow h Of Tweaty Years.

The Railway Age makes comparl.
aon of the railway mileage Of the diff
ferent states and t erritories in 1876
and in 1896. The total mileage Janu-
ary /, 1896, was 1902, against
"a, 900 miles January J., 1S76-an in
crease of 106,9S2 miles in twenty
year. This is a gain OF 144l per cent.
By grouping the states into sections
we find that these figures make
splendid showing for tho south. In
nortern states east Of The Mississippi,
with population of 29,5OO, 900, only
8, $50 miles of road have bsen built IN
twenty years. In southern states, with
population of %, 500, 900, 81, 113 have
been built during the same period.
Of course the great activity in railroad
building was in states west of the Mis-
sissippi, where more than half the
mileage of the country was built.
During the last eight OF the twenty
years, however, the south built as
many miles of railroad as the west.
In two respects Florida leads the
list of states east of the Mississippi.
She has the largest mileage per capita,
and she shows the highest rate of in
crease of mileage. Florida has in
creased her railroad mileage more than
six fold in twenty years. No other
state east OF the Mississippi has made
more than half of Florida's percentage
of increase.

How tho Air is Purified.

Motion, mechanical and molecular,
the great law of the universe, is first
to be considered as natural method
for the pnrifcation of the atmosphere.
It's power as purifier of the air is
shown mechanically in the flow Of
rivers and in the ocean currents;
molecularly it serves the same purpose
in the form of heat, light and elec.
ltricity.
When not in motion air stagnates
as water does and becomes offensive
and bad, because it is easily impreg.
mated with fine animal and vegetable
dust as we'll as noxious gases. Certain
physical conditions are always neces-
sary for the continual movement Of
the air. We know that the diurnal
motion of land and sea cir brings the
warm days and cool nights as we'll as
the rain and wind. In the tropical
regions, as the sun rises the heat of
the day increases and the breeze sets
in from the sea to the land as the sun
goes down the heat diminishes, and at
sunset the temperature of seq and
land are equal. At night again the
breeze is from land to sea, until morn.
ing, when the temperature may be.
come equal and the sea breeze return.

THE HOMES OF vAssAR GIRLS.

On three floors OF the great build.
ing, which is five hundred feet long,
five stories high, ard has two large
transverse wings, small Railways ex-
tend back and open into suites of four
or f7e rooms each. SO perfect is the
: .angement of rooms that although
ehis great building shelters three hun
dred students and large force of in
structors, besides providing recitation
rooms, general parlors, residence
rooms for the President and his family,
general Offices, and library, yet one
is not conscious of the presence of o
greft company or OF the amount OF
mental and other industries transacted
under it roof. The home-like parlors
are central and hospitable; in the
messengers Office all sorts of informa-
tion is courteously proffered, and
pleasant young ladies are in waiting
to guide one over the building or
transact errands of love, mercy, or
business.
Those delightful little suites oil
rooms, consisting of three or four
bedrooms and q common parlor, every
Yassar girl remembers with delight.
If the warning sign Engaged" is not
out, we may knock at the door and
catch q glimpse of q cozy parlor adorned
with pictures, bric-a-brac, books, and
the omnipresent divan with its tempt.
ing pillows. The we'll ventilated,
always single bedrooms open from the
parlor, and the little family of stu
dents who make their school home so
attractive can always command hours
of retirement or of sociability. Tempt.
ing spreads are suggested by the chat;

The Colonel Doaged.

w. Fl. Sutclife, brave soldier OF
The Confederacy, who lost an eye by q
mimic ball striking it,and was rounded
several times, both by lead and sabre,
yesterday told story of the late
Colonel Peter G. Gaillard, who was
The Commander of his regiment. Mr..
Sutcliffe said that it was in Battery
Wagner, on the 18th Of July, 1853,
and the balls and shells were whizzing
by ut great rate. Colonel Gaillard
in going his rounds noticed that as
the balls would 60 by the men would
dodge. He called out: "Don't dodge,
boys; you may dodge in the way.
Then lie turned and was walking off,
when an Irishman named Tom Carey,
a brave man and true, picked up o
tenpenny nail and whizzed it past the
*Colonel's ear. He thought 1T was q
ball, and instinctively lodged aside.
Carey called out: "Ah, be the
hastenich, Colonel, yez lodged that
one." Colonel Gaillard, he saya,
turned around and laughed and said:
"Well, boys. when they como that
close, I think we'd better dodge" 1t
was not until after the war was over
that he knew that the missile that
whizzed past his ear that day was
Carey's tenpenny nail and nota North

Nine Years anu a Century.

The death is announced, at Armi.
tage, near Lich6eld, OF Antonio AL
bina Mountsay, o naval veteran, who
mad reached the age of 100 years. For
some time the deceased has been re-
ceiving charitable allowance from the
Lichfeld Union. He was of French
extraction, having been born at Bor-
deaux on January 6, 1871. In his
boyhood ho was taken prisoner by the
English, being then only nine years
of age. In the course OF time the
lad joined the British Navy of his own
free will, and worked q quarterback
gun on the Queen Charlotte at the
siege of Algiers, in 1916, where he
was severely wounded. After leaving
the navy he served on whaler, and
subsequently, settled down in England.
For the last three years he had been
confined to bed /; and curious circum.
stance is that he has recently grown

death has been plentiful and OF a

Tbe Thunder STORMS Of Madras.

As the result of his prolonged study
of those striking phenomena, the
thunder storms of Madras, Professor
Smith informs the Scottish Meteoro-
logical Society that the first remark
able fact observed by him was that of
certain seasons of the year when sheet
lightning appeared almost every night,
always in west or southwesterly
direction, and invariably near the
horizon; it may be, therefore, he re-
marks, that these discharges occur in
the region where the moist and dust
less seq wind meets the dry and dusty
land wind, enc being, perhaps, posi-
lively electrified and the other mega
lively. In these lightning displays as
many as 800 flashes per minute have
been counted, this rate being kept up
for an hour or an hour and half.
Another notable peculiarity remarked
% this region is that the heaviest rains
ere unaccompanied by thunder, while
the displays of lightning are not ac-
compapied by any rain.-New York

Nerves and sky-scrapers.

Anervous condition, bordering on
prostration, to which the doctors have
not as yet given name, has lately
been observed to affect persons who
work many hours day high up in the
modern sky-scrapers. Theailment re-
sembles nervous prostration, except in
the principal symptom, which is o
condition of intense restlessness, and,
as one OF the victims to the new COM
plant expressed it, ga singular desire
to scream or to get down to the earth
quickly"
A sensation of relief is noticeable
when she patient is taken to grass, SO
to speak, which leads some physicians
to the belief that the change in the
rarity of the air, slight as it is, has o
peculiar effect upon certain very sensi-
tive organizations. Others think that
the constant trips in the elevators
cause slight disarrangement of the
nerve centera, which brings oa the
condition referred to. In any case,
there is no doubt that a new ailment
has come among us with the advent OF
the sky-scraper. er.-New York Journal.

discovery of gold in the rich placer
mines north OF Mono Lake. On July
4, 1859, miner who had been work

East Walker River, determined to eel
citrate by o stroll among the hills.
After walking several. hours he grew
hot and tired and descended into o
deep, narrow canyon for the sake of
the shade. He stretched himself prone
upon the sand in the shade of big
rock. While lying there, with face
down, he was taken with fit of cough.

away and the glitter OF gold caught

made fortune aud his fit of coughing

RIBBON TR1MMISGs.

Figured dresden or chine ribbons
are used for belts, crush collars and
bows. Bretelles of ribbon, also called
suspenders, end on the shoulders in a
simple bow-knot or IN upright bow OF
three loops and four notched ends.
Bracelet cuffs on elbow sleeves are
merely plain or twisted band of rib,
bon ending in bow at the back. A.
new decoration of two-inch ribbon,
starts from the shoulder under bow
knot, follows the arm size to the bust,
is caught there with a large fancy but
ton, turned and brought straight
across the bust to tie in q bow Of four
loops and two ends, oil short. An.

bretelles just at the top Of the shoul-,
dera, and folded band of the ribbon
across the upper part of the front has
o full, called a bib, of the lace, with
two buttons at each side confning the
band. The quantities necessary are
three yards of lace, five buttons and
ten yards of ribbon. Even ribbon as
narrow as three inches may be used il
preferred. The plain and printed
gold ribbons are used for belts in
widths of one and a half and two
inches with O gilt or enameled buckle
or tied in tiny bow knot in front.

A PIuckY Girl.

A rival has now been found to the
Austrian tailor who accomplished che
Journey from Vienna to Paris inside a
trunk. The imitator is a young girl
of eighteen years from Auvergne. She
had been living In the French capital
with a relative, who fell i'll, and rather
than prove an incumbrance the spirited
damsel resolved to return to her native
village. Not having any money to
pay her railway fare, she set out to
cover the journey, a distance of $40
kilometres, on foot. When nearly a
third of her journey had been accom-
plished her strength gave out. She
determined then to travel at the ex-
pense of the railway company, and,
biding her time, she obtained a seat
on the buffer of goods wagon as a
train left the station. For many q
mile she rode in this perilous position,
and when discovered by railway Off
cial she was half dead with cold and
fatigue. After receiving every atten-
tion the girl wus sent on to her rala-

FASHION NOTES.

The Longfellow coffee service is
among the latest whims of fashionable
housekeepers.
Dainty little cut-glass ard silver
mucilage pots add much to the equip.
ment of my lady's desk.
A smart little handle for fowered
silk parasol is of cherry wood with q
bunch of cherries looking as though
they grew just from the handle.
The chiffon parasols are larger than
the silk ones, and bend over more, so
that they really look SO much like
lamp shades that it is hard to tell The
difference between them.
The lowered silk taffetas and bro
cades are most satisfactory Of all para
sol coverings. Strangely enough, it
is not considered imperative to have
The parasol of the same silk as the
gown.
The parasols this year are extremely
beautiful, and the coloring and ma.
terials used are simply marvellous.
Such rich tones and such heavy fabrics
have never before been utilized for
This purpose.
The all-white stitched glove with
four buttons is still in fashion for
wear with silk gowns in the afternoon,
and this very expensive fashion-for
the gloves must be immaculate--bids
fair to continue for some time.
The introduction of the gloria silk
umbrellas has been an inestimable
boon. These umbrellas resemble
silk SO closely that at distance it is
impossible to tell them apart, wear
well and ale plenty good enough to
be lost

The Art of Living Together.

"It is written, 1T is not good for
man to be alone, but on the other
hand, 1t is often far from good to be
with him." writes DR.. R. f. Horton,
in o suggestive article on 'The Noble
Art of Living Together, in the Sun
day Magazine. He continues:
"a docil cat is preferable, mon
goose, or even canary. Indeed, for
want of proper instruction, large
number of the human race, as they
are known in this damp and foggy
island, are 'gey i'll to live WI, and no
one would attempt it but for charity
and the love OF God.
If all mankind thoroughly under
stood the art of living together,
''many OF the catastrophes of life
would be averted; and if even we had
some smattering of it's lore we should
greatly change the interiors of our
homes and contribute to the progress
of society and the world"
Politenes to the children is regard
ed as cardinal virtue by DR.. Horton.
He says: 81 never feel SO tempted to
interfere with mothers as when hear
their unciyil language to their chill
dren, that rude and hectoring tone,
that volley of coarse epithets and un-
dignifed expletiyes, which, of course,
the children will learn to employ to
one another"
The whole question of living with
other people deserves much attention,
he declares. "We are seldom in
structed in our youth how to do it
we'll. Our knowledge OF the subject
is acquired by experience, chiefly by
our failures. And by the time that
we have tolerably mastered the deli
cate art we are on the point of being
called to the isolation of the grave or,
shall / say, to the vast company Of the
majority"

Wly. the Crook Confessed.

Newspaper men are sometimes. taken
into the confidence of persons in pub
lie life and told the "inside" of mat
ters for their own information. It is
not often, however, that criminals
care to diyulge their secrets to report
ers, either for publication or "prcof
OF good faith" An exception to this
order of things happened to the
writer.
A we'll known crook, after having
been chased about from pillar to post
by the detectives, was finally captured
in one of the downtown saloons by two
Of the city force, who arc close to the
top of the ladder in the Police Depart

but promised to go along peaceably.
The officers had no sooner started for
the station house with their prisoner.
whom they neglected to handcuff,
than lie made a break for liberty and
got away. The officers made every eff
fort to capture him, aud every officer
on tho force was told to look out for
him.
The crook mado his way to the
lower part of Allegheny, and going to
telephone called up the newspaper
Office, and asked the writer to come to
certain place and get good story.
The writer went 10 the place he indi'
Gated and the man told his story. II
was merely his version of the trouble
he got into and on account OF tEe
clever manner in which he had escaped
from the two officers OF the police
force. He wanted the officers "roast-
ed" for allowing him to get away SO
easily, and had run the risk OF being
recaptured. solely for the purpose of
venting his spite upon the natural en-
envy of all criminals he knew that he
would have time to get away after the
interview. The fellow was afterward
captured and sent to prison, in pun
ishment for some OF his many criminal
acts.-Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
