MIX UP AT THE TURNSTlLE.
Confusion Over Elevated Railroad Fares
and tho Loss of q Train.

The prompt catching of an elevated
train is an art. 1t Is not given to all NOR
tails to acquire that art either In nine Of
ten cases tho prospective passenger reaches
the middle stairway just as tho train gives
its final series of groans and goes moaning
down the limo Usually there Is mental
casting back into the past by the journey
ers and in hurried way they try to rea-
son that If they had walked little faster,
Dr. If they had not stopped at the railroad
station to SEQ what time it was, or If they
had not spent foolish and wasteful mo.
mcnt in debating as to the relative merits
Of the elevated and the surface road. or II
they had only scheined the thing out the
tlpy before and had not had to pause in
irresolute confusion trying to make
choice of one of tho stairways of the rail
road structure they would have made it.
In this case 1t was the change. Mrs.
Barker was in advance and hurricaned
with great abruptness into the turnstile,
which refused to turn without the lubri-
,ation of nickel. She did not under
stand it, and as she looked around help
essly for her husband, whom she had dis
ianced on the STAIR rank outsider of a
nan hurried in between them and put
Town q dime. The stile turned, and Mrs.
Barker passed through.
The gateman imperiously ordered the
stranger to proceed, but the latter clamor-
ed for his change and the debate ran
high, Nobody seemed to understand any
thing but that tho train was just starting
when Mr.. Barker came rushing up and
added to the confusion by presenting a
half dollar over the shoulder of the stran i.
ger and calling that it was for two. This,
instead of clearing the situation, added to
the density of it, and by the time the two
men and guard had solved the problem
the train was block away, and bitter
feeling pervaded the premises.
The stranger felt that an unknown
woman had attempted to confidence him
out Of a nickel.
Mrs. Barker inclined to the belief that
her husband was slow and ut times stupid.
Mr. Barker half believed that tho stran-
ger had tried to get him to pay his fare,
The gateman was In fever Of suspicion
concerning all of them, but was positive
that he had well performed his part.

The Sunday Dog.

Walking one Sunday with a friend on
the road between Lockerbio and Moffat
we had Doubtful for n companion. "Now, 4"
I said, "if 1 had a gun with me this dog
would never leave my side, but she knows
it's Sunday quite as we'll as l do, and she
will have some excellent sport on her own
account, as you shall see. There are he.

us fvo coveys Of cartridges in various
stages Of omposition-that is, Two been
among Thorn all--and the family circle is
in consequence considerably diminished
In each case. Watch Doubtful's proceed
ings. She will never once show herself in
front of us In case should stop her, but
she will get quietly away when sho thinks
she is not seen, find and put every bird,
All she wants today is tine excitement OF
finding and flushing them" Presently,
casting my eyes over my shoulder, "There
she u.s., said, sat the first covey."
Up got one bird, then the remainder OF
the family some three or four, at once,
Doubtful gazing at them intently. "Come
back, you exceedingly wicked little dog u
called to her, and back she came at q
canter, looking very oontrite, and, putting
her nose in my hand by way OF apology
trotted along quietly behind u.s. Not three
minutes after she was at the second covey,
and ! firmly believe that not one bird OF
the five coveys escaped her that day

A very simple process OF making new
oolors is that Of placing together sheets OF
glass on which various tints have been
spread. A largo number Of these sheets
arc prepared embracing wide range OF
oolors and shades. After being thoroughly
dried two or more Of them may be held to
the light. Tho blending Of the tints as the
light passes through suggests now tones
and shades and permits the experimenter
to settle upon whatever is most desirable
without tho trouble Of mixing and work
ing with liquid dyes. In addition to this
as a commercial advantage the experiment
as q color study Is instructive and enter
tanning. The question arises, Why cannot
q knowledge Of oolors be taught in schools
as well "a a knowledge Of arbitrary signs
and symbols 1t is often of great use to
BIO able to distinguish oolors with good
deal Of nicely, and the cultivation Of this
faculty is we'll worth all the time and

EARLY PORTO RlCANS.

The "grcat navigator" who discovered
tho new world was very felicitous in his

noble harbor in which ha wstered his ships

of San Juan. Tho Indians becoming, as
the Spaniards say, disgustados, because
they were reduced to slavery and COM
PEELED to labor in the mines, rebellcd and
murdered all the white men they could
catch outside the settlement. Tho Span
iards had told the guilcless red men thut
they were immortal, aud for awhile they
believed them, but Caciquc Agueynaba
finally conceived a theory Of his own and
proceeded to put it to tho test. In accord
Gncc with his orders, two Of his followers
caught an unprotected white man whilo

his head under water three long hours.
Then they tAk him out, but still with
fear and trembling and, dragging tho
body to the bank, sat by it during two
whole days, until unmistakablo signs OF
decomposition convinced them of the
