was reared on a farm and received a
common school education. His early
training was supplemented by the valu-
able experience of clerk in a country

while, like G{acaulay in his boyhood,
devouring books in every department

ANOTHER DEATH TRAP.

Life will soon not be worth living
if the Psychologist only goes a
little further. We have to be care
full of milk because it contains queer
shaped organisms that threaten us
with fevers, or cholera, or what not.
Beef becomes dangerous on account
of another set of microscopic squig-
glers, and bread is a doubtful
benefit. In fact one is doubtful
what one can eat or what one can
drink, and as for clothes, why they
carry death and disease in every
fiber.
But a new horror has been added
to lite. DR.. Marpman of Leipsic
has been examining sixty-seven
samples of ink used in schools and
he finds that they all contain path
ogenic; bacteria, nay more, that
saprophytes and micro-coc are
present. When the good doctor had
cultivated these cheerful little
wigglers for short time and applied
them to the organisms of mice the
latter died in four days. So the
small boy will have to eschew ink
for the future, if he wishes to
preserve his precious health.
However, there is no cloud so
dark but it has silver lining, and
it is to be hoped that the doctors
bacteria, saprophytes and micro
cocci will settle off the Spring Poets
and other bores which make life a
burden to the editor. A few select
ed ink-pots, carefully cultivated,
will in future be kept on hand at
The Star Office, and when the bore
arrives he will be promptly inocu-
lated. Death in four days. 1t is an
i'll wind that blows nobody any
good.

\ MENACE TO NEW YORK.

Baltimore exported during August
5,1S5,236 bushels of wheat. New York
exported only 2,350,151, or considerab-
~ less than one-half as much.
OF corn Baltimore shipped 3,306, $40
bushels, against New York's 2,72O, sol
bushels Even Philadelphia led with
total export of 1892, 4s0 bushels.
New York's commercial greatness
is largely based upon her supremacy
as grain shipping port. The vessels
that bring imports bring them ulti-
mately to the ports that furnish re-
turn cargoes in greatest abundance.
If New York is to maintain its SUI
premacy as mistress of American
commerce its merchants must do the
export business in grain or she will
lose her supremacy, and another com
mercial center will have gone the way
of all flesh.

Structures Found in India, PaYest tine,
Persia and Peru.
On the continent the term dolmen is
almost universally applied TO the whole
construction, including the covering,
mound or cairn, says Hutchinson's Pre-
historic Man and Beast. Thus French
and other writer's speak of a chambered
mound or tumulns as dolmen. But
since it is proable that some never were
covered up, it seems better to make a
distinction, as we do In this country.
In France there are said to be about
1900 dolmens, many of which would in
England be called chambered tumuli.
The Indian dolmens, which are not
covered up, resemble those of western
Europe. Capt. Meadows Taylor exam

II am sorry to have to say it, re-

Washington Star reporter, ''but some
how-and have no explanation for it
men travelling are not us courteous and
accommodating to lady travellers as
they should be. The men who ask for
all kinds of accommodations when they
have their wives, sisters or female rela-
tives travelling with them-and they
never fail then to claim everything in
sight-are in many cases the men who
decline to give similar favors to other
lady passengers. AS a matter of fact
the upper berths in a sleeping car are
the best, the best ventilated, and think
experience has shown the safest in
cases of wreck. Still, the demand is
nearly always for the lower berths, be-
cause it is easier to getinto them. This
is particularly so with lady travellers.
In my last half dozen trips from and
back to the city L have had more than
the usual percentage of lady passengers,
