NO CAUSE TO BLUSH.
Pretty Girl Was Rather Too Con-
ddent That She Deserved
Admiration.

She was a very pretty girl, and she
knew it, two things which were GER
tainly all right, but she should not
have displayed her knowledge on that
particular point quite so plainly as
she did.
1t happened in Detroit street car
the other day. She climbed in down
at the square, accompaniedby friend
who was both older and palmer than
herself.
1t happened to be one of the old
fashioned cars, with long seats run
ming along the sides, and right oppo-
Site the girls sat handsome gentle
man. with big, wide-open gray eyes, at
whom the pretty damsel cast a sweet
" simpering smirk as she sat down
and arranged herself so thaN he could
sec just how pretty she was.
lie did not smile, but he continued
to stare, and at first she seemed to
think things were all right, but be-
fore long she began to squirm aud
shift in her seat, and finally CALCULATED
to her friend in a tone that was au-
dible through the car: "Really, dear,
it's dreadful the way that man over
there stares. It's all very well for a
man to admire you, but there really
are limits"
One or two of the passengerssmoth
cred their smiles and looked TO sec
how the man took it. But he did nof
seem to hear-just continued TO stare
with the same steady, concentrated
gaze. and the passengers grew inter
ested.
The girl made one or two more re
marks and then suddenly the gentle
man sitting beside the offending ont
leaned over and said clearly: "Pardoi
me. madam. but IS you seem to be
little put out with my friend 1 wis
10 explain that he is quite unaccount

There was silence for a moment
while the young lady's bushes lit u

THE RAILROAD ARMY.
a Larger Peace Establishment Than
Any Country In the world
Possesses.

The standing army Of Russia Is
usually put at 100000 men, OF Ger
many at GOO 900, Of Austria at $4,000,
and OF Great Britain at 5000, all on
a peace footing. Yet there are, II APP
pears by the last published report Of
the interstate commerce commission,
$4,000 railroad employees IN the United
States, whose gross wages and sal
aries are nearly S500,O00, coo year,
or GO per cent. OF the operating ex-
penses Of the American railways.
There are four employees, on the aver
age, for each mile of railroad truck.
There are 30,040 station agents, 35 ,687
engineers, 25,922 conductors. 43.7es
swischmen, fagmen and watchmen,
and 2l,452 telegraph operators and dis
patchers. At the present ratio Of in
crease-there are now 10000 more
railway employees in the United States
than there were in 1s95-the total
number will not be very far below
100000 at the time of the next census.
Here Is an army in which there is no
mastering out and no war footing, for
the railroadarmy OF the United States,
larger than the number Of railroad
employees Of any other country, is es-
sentially an army Of peace, and IL is
steadily growing at a rate larger than
the railroads themselves, taking the
mileage as a measure Of their impor-
tance.

LURE THE ALLIGAToRs.
Hunters Initiate the Grunts of the
Mother and Attract the
Young.

The alligator is said to be in such re-
quest that it is rapidly disappearing
from the settled parts of Florida, and
even becoming scarcer in such remote
regions as the Everglades. A constant
war is waged against it by the tax
idermists and the dealers in curiosi-
ties.
Awriterin Popular Science News says
that the young are frequently lured
from their lurking places by poor
imitation of the grunts of the mother,
and men expert in mimicry sometimes
capture large numbers in a day. The
little creatures respond promptly TO
the calls, and pour out of the cavities
in hot haste to see the caller.
The most expert "'gator callers"
the writer ever knew were swamp
rangers, both white and black, who
were born and brought up within a
short distance of an alligator swamp,
and knew every intonation of the
saurian's voice.
These men would make a matron
charge wildly across a broad stream
by initiating the frightened cries of
her young, or lure a decrepit old bull
from his cave by initiating the grunts
of the female. They could, in fact,
delude both old and young. and often
earned good sums by their art.

SHOES FOR CELESTIAL WOMEN
Those Worn by Ameri-
can Ladies.

The Chinese woman's shoe is provid-
ed with fiat heel which alone serves
as a point of support for the entire
body. The point of the foot does not
touch the ground, and the women walk
sometimes like club-footed persons,
says The New York Herald. They are
not very steady upon their feet, and
when they become aged have to use a
cane. They walk with their arms
slightly extended and performing the
Office of balance pole, and with the
pelvis thrown back and the breast
slightly forward they seem 20 be en-
deavoring to preserve their center Of
gravity. When their heels are close to-
gether the slightest push may upset
them.
A foot is SO much the more appreci-
ated in PROPORTION as it is smaller,
The Chinese woman is very modest
when it is question of her feet. A
traveller says he has several times at
tended mandarins' wives, who were
afflicted with foot troubles. and who
consented only with great hesitation
and blushing to allow themselves to
be examined, and even then they so ar
ranged themselves as to expose only
the ailing part.
1t may not be generally known tha'
all Chinese women do not have de-
formed feet. This mutilation is more
frequent in the south than in the
north and in cities than in the rura
districts.

Erouble soon, says an exchange. Since

the manner in which the law is being
administered there against alleged
squatters on the island savors more
of medieval tyranny than of pro-
cedure under British law.
There are number of alleged squat
ters at Fox bay, who have been there
for over two years. M. Menier found
them unsuitable as colonists. and de-
cided to have them removed from the
island and demolish their homes. The
people refused to go. The proper
course for NJ. Menier to pursue under
British law was by action of ejectment
but he served notice to quit merely
upon the people, and sent a steam YES
sci with a squad of government police
from Quebec to remove them. The
people prayed for little time tc
gather up their belongings, and il
was granted only on condition that
heads of families deliver up oil arms
in their possession and sign away theil
rights to remain on the island. 1t ap
pears that the evicted people are

LAYERS OF ATMOSPHERE.
There Are Three Distinct Garments of
Air Above the Earth'a
Surface.

Prof. T. II. Bigelow, OF the United
States weather service, presented a
paper before section B of the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
of Science recently, outlining his in
vestigatiops Of atmospheric condi-
tions. The first of these, entitled
The Structure Of Cyclones and Anti
cyclones" is in truth the continuation
of one given last year at the Detroit
meeting Of the association. The paper
of last year outlined the mathematical
conditions; the present one gave some
Of the results Of observation, says the
Boston Transcript
II appears that in the atmosphere
there are practically three distinct
currents of air. the first lying at an ell
ovation Of from 900 TO / 500 metres, the
second at from $500 to 4,0OOmetres and
the upper one at from G,000 TO 5000
metres above the surface Of the earth.
These are, to an extent, separate
currents, flowing each withits own We
locity. At the bottom of each Of the
layers the stratus clouds are formed,
and at the top Of each of the layers oc-
cur the cumulus clouds. This sug-
gests that the stratus originate at
the bottom of a moving current and
the cumulus at the top. 1t is prob
able, then, that the stratus owe theii
origin to the difference in velocity
and temperature of the two layers
while the cumulus are formed by
ascending currents within the layer
of air.

REDUCES THEIR WEIGHT.
Naval Officers Lose Some OF Their
bulk as They Near the Time
Of Promotion.

A naval officer who is within two
or three numbers of his next grade
made the assertion year ago that
he was not going TO get a new full
dress uniform until he got his step,
and because of this determination he
suffered greatly whenever it was nee
essary for him TO get into his dress
clothes. says the New York Sun. Since
his dress uniform had been made he
had grown very much stouter, and IL
was with difficulty that he could get
intoit. On the occasions when he was
forced to wear it he moved slowly and
cautiously, fearing all the time he
might sneeze and burst his coat. This
officer returned after two months
service in the tropics, and to a friend
who asked him about his forthcoming
promotion he said; 1T will please me
when il comes, but I'm not worrying
for it as l did six months ago. I was
then too stout for my dress uniform,
and, rs had vowed not to get another
until had been promoted, ! was in
agony every time was forced to wear
it. I'm all right now My uniform fits
me perfectly and I'm only worrying
now for fear that when l 60 back
south again may get too small for it.
That climate down there is the very
best know Of for people who want TO
reduce weight, and when you add to
the climate necessity for constant
watchfulness it makes a combination
/ hard to beat"
