INSANITY FROM SHOCK.
Nervous sTemperaments Become Over
atrAined.

strained.
The pathetic recital of the experience
Of the engineer whose reason was shat
tered by his train running over and kill
ing two men, leads thoughtful persons
to the contemplation of the exceeding
frailty of humanity and tie awful
consequences to the sensitive mind of
such an accident as that which was
the real cause of the collision of two
trains.
OF highly nervous temperament, the
engineer, while he felt himself guiltless
of murder, was yet SO overcome with
the knowledge that he had taken two
lives that he was wholly unbalanced,
and probably in the most mechanical
way, with his hand on the lever. sent
his train along the tracks, completely
oblivious of the danger that threatened
him. The piteous appeal to his fellows.
asking them if he really was to blame
is one of the most pitiful incidents in
the affair. Experts say that an en-
gineer can only pass through a given
amount of strain, and that once having
passed this point he is scarcely ac-
countable for what he may do, says the
New York Ledger.
There is a great difference in people,
however, as to the effect which such
calamities have upon them. People OF
stolid and unimpressible temperaments
may pass through such experiences
and be but slightly overcome by them.
but it is n dangerous thing for the
sensitive, highly organized mind to be
placed il such an awful position.

IN A LONDON HOTEL,
Convenfences and Conceits That Sur
prise American Visitors.

prise American VfsftOrs.
The American visitor to London who
stops att a certain hotel in that city
finds many novelties and conveniences
that are not known here in America,
where hotels are supposed to have
reached the acme of luxury, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. 1t has an Amer
lean plan dining-room, but only a
French bill of fare. 1t has an Indian
room, where an Indian chief in the COS
tune of his country prepares native
dishes for those who desire them.
In this hotel each guest is known by
the number of his room instead of
his name, and it is rather odd to an
American to be addressed as ''Mr. &c.,"
as though he were convict in the pen
itentiary.
On each floor, day and night, are to
be found maid, a valet and waiter,
who are at your service and have free
access to your rooms. When you come
home at night, if you are a man, you
find your clothes pressed and cleaned
and carefully packed away in a chest
of drawers. If you are a woman, the
maid attends to frills and furbelows
as though she were hired by you es-
pecially. Guests never bother with
their keys-the maid or valet on the
floor takes charge of the key and is
ready at any time to open your door.

SALOON STRAWS ARE COSTLY.
Particular Care Required iH Picking
and Shipment.

Iaft1cul8r care heQu1red In PICKING
and Shipment.
''The straws through which we inn
bibe mint juleps and other supposedly
cooling decoctions in summer cost the
saloon men about as much as do their
free lunches" said a red-faced man who
sat at table in the ST. Nicholas cafe
slowly slipping julep through a couple
of straws, says the St. Louis Republic.
II just found this out the other day and
! have felt sorry for the saloon men
ever since, because every fellow who
uses a straw feels that it is his duty
to destroy it with his drink. The sa-
loon men get their supply of straws
from the big glass houses, and the most
OF these establishments keep a regular
force of hands employed all through
the summer season cutting and prepar-
ing the straws for use. Usually some
body has to be sent to the country to
select the straw from the farmer, and
then it has to be handled with great
care in getting it to the city. This, of
course. is an item of expense which
must be made out of the saloon men,"

A Peculiar Optical Illusion.

The correspondent of a Photographic
journal, in speaking of the special in
terest that attaches to the Roentgen
rays among photographers, who often
are not in a position to invest in elab-
crate and expensive sets of apparatus,
says it is not generally known chat by
means of a very simple optical illusion,
an almost perfect imitation of the won
ders of the photography can be shown
without the trouble and expense of in
duction coils, tubes or huorescent
screens. All that is necessary is to take
small feather from pheasant or tur-
key, and holding it close to the eye
look through the radiating ribs at the
end of the feather at the fingers of the
hand hed up towards the sky, or
against the window. The flesh of the
fingers will then appear to be trans
parent, with the Opaque bone running
down inthe center, as shown by the true
photography. If it is desired to exhibit
the phenomenon by gaslight piece of
ground glass must be held in front OF
the flame to diffuse the light.
