four o'clock to six, and six o'clock to eight,

sci asked an old sailor what time of day a Ger.
tain collision occurred, and received the re.
ply: about the middle of the first dog
watch" In summing up the case the bar.

impaired, as follows: "You can imagine, gen.

sylvania state bureau of railroads the
bicycle is hurting the business of rail
roads He says: "In cities like Har-
risburg and many others it cannot be
gainsaid that the bicycle has become a
most serious competitor of the rail
way. To reinforce this view of the
case an observation was made in that
city covering two DAYS. During that

She is very pretty young woman

are their usual variations of express

And her mouth, which have always

general severe tone Of disgusted de-

of suppressed indignation at some one

TnE Children's Aid Society of New
York states that in 1867 there were
2,0l6 girls between the ages OF a and
20 held for trial in the great city,
while in 1896 there were but 6ls. In
view of the increase in population OF
the city the number, in case conditions
had not improved, would have been
over 1000 This Improvement seems
almost incredible. Increase of facili-
ties for education and the formation of
girls clubs are credited as among the
chief means contributing To the re.
suit. In the same period there has
been an increase in the number of boys
arrested.

constantly engaged in turning out
cents made OF copper with a slight al
10y of zine and tin. The state of Penn
sylvania alone absorbed 1l,oOo, 900 last
year and New York 5000, 900. There
is much curiosity about the final fate
of these cents Nobody is able to tell
what has become OF the hundreds OF
millions of cents issued by the mint
since it began operations. 1t is rather
a profitable business for the govern
ment, as IL means the conversion OF
copper costing ten cents pound into
a form in which II is worth 81 or more
