second class. Our passengers" he
 sad, "are divided into these pro-
 portions; Third class, 731A per cent; second class. 19 per cent, and first class i1a per cent. We could not abolish second class without causing very con- siderable inconvenience to those who
 travel by this intermediate system.
 The majority of our season. ticket
 holders take second-class seasons, the price of which is based on third class
 rates; to abolish this department would
 entail great inconvenience of them.'
 From Mr. Gooday, the general
 manager of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway it was gathered
 that they too. in consequence of their large season-ticket traffic, find 1t desirable to maintain the second class. AS with all railway systems in which
 the distances travelled are comparative ly short, the second class Is an absolute
 necessity. But in order to induce peo- pie to patronize the higher classes they
 lately reduced the fares in the first and second class departments, and so far they have reason to believe that the experiment they have tried will have the desired effect As official of the Board of Trade supplemented this in- formation with some figures bearing upon the general business of all the
 railways, showing that there has been an immense revival in second-class
 travelling of late. Last year there was 62, 2,762,650 second-class travellers-an increase of 2,389,OO0 in the twelve months; while the increase in receipts (exclusive of season-ticket holders was at the rate of 12.1 per cent. as against 25 per cent for first and 2.9 per
 cent for third. But up to the end of 1895 the receipts from second class were continuously falling.-London Globe.

Dr. Ernest R. Sangree, State bacter- iologist of Tennessee, takes issue with the Supreme court of that common wealth in declaring that the cigarette is certainly deleterious to health, a proposition on which medical science seems to be we'll united" Says he; No intelligent physician who knows any thing about the subject has any such foolish notion. Why is cigarette more deleterious than a cigar or pipe? A cigarette consists of tobacco, the leaves of one plant, wrapped in small and extremely thin sheet of rice paper, the fibre of another plant-nothing else. To decide this point three exhaustive and expert chemical examinations have been made within my own knowledge of every obtainable brand of cigarettes, and the chemists, without exception, found nothing but tobacco. Further more, they found tobacco of an espec- tally mild character, and containing considerable less percentage of nicotine than that of ordinary cigars, smoking and chewing tobacco. The wrapper of rice paper contained also nothing but wood fiber, and believe that no one has ever claimed or demonstrated that taking into the mouth or lungs an in- fnitesimal amount of wood smoke is deleterious to health.

------------- -------=---------------------- 4 NOTABLE SUNDAY.

What is so rare as a June day in December? Yesterday was fine enough to Tighten the gloom of an anti-imper- ialist and to cause even snuffling vic tim of the grip to feel encouraged. And what contrast to the Sunday only three weeks ago, when the good people couldn't get to meeting and some of the bad people failed to show up at their regular Sunday drinking places, But one swallow doesn't make sum- mer and one summer day in December doesn' tmake a winter We shall soon be again guessing whether the coal SUD- ply is going to last or the suns rays be fervent enough to warm the earth. If the winter goes on as it has begun there will be ample material for new and thrilling chapter on The Climate of New England.

leaf brown, lined with deep brunt orange silk. The bodice of burnt orange silk was closely covered with very open dark brown braiding. The sealskin jacket was jauntily short and was lined with burn orange. A brown velvet hat showed every warm shade of brown, with a bright yellow rosette set against the hair, which would suit the color scheme exactly if of red brown shade. Gloves of dark red brown and shoes of a deep tan complete the idea exactly.
 For an example of this treatment the artist chose gown in grays, color that in assorted shades brings little danger of conspicuousness. Now and then the groupings of browns and reds seem strained effort, but even so they are very stylish. In this pictured dress the skirt with its shaped fiounce and bias fold heading were silver gray cloth. Revers and strapping of the bodice were of the silver shade, while the bodice itself was darker gray cloth. In the hat, pale gray velvet was trimmed with two other shades of gray, so the scheme was complete.
 The same idea gets into evening gowns. A fine one was green velvet heavily braided with narrow ribbon , that faded fro m dark green in the lower rows to pale green near the belt. The

BECKER,s nENEYoLENCE.

Charles Becker the forger, who has Just been sentenced to seven years im- prlsonment in the penitentiary of Cali fornia. is regarded as the most wonder ful criminal in his line. He is known to detectives and banking officials in almost every part of the world, and Is credited by the police authorities with having 'floated" over a million dollars worth of bogus paper. Among other financial operations, he was accused of having put out $SOO,OOO in spurious pa per in Florence, Italy, and was arrested in Turkey for an extensive raid on the funds of the Sultan. The crime for which he has been sentenced to the California penitentiary was the raising of a Woodland bank check from SIP to $22,000. This transaction was all the more difficult because the check was made out on safety paper, on which no alteration, 1t is claimed, can be made with a pen. Becker pointed out that while this claim was we'll founded as to a pen, the paper presented no defense against camefs-hair brush in the hands of an artistic manipulator, and, he added that he thought he was en- titled to the prize of $1,OOO offered by the Safety Paper company to anybody who could raise 8 check made out on their paper.
 But skillful as Becker has been he has come to the conclusion that his business does not pay in the long run, and announces that he has determined not to continue it after his release. The man who makes the paper, or, in other words, commits the forgery, gen. erally comes out of the little end of the horn, his active confederates who plan the affair and pass the paper usu- ally get the larger part of the swag. In connection with his proposed reforma- tion he makes a suggestion to the
 
 bankers of the country. My years of experience" he points out, have taught me how to make checks that look all right and that bring the money every time, and it would be strange if I hadn't at the same time learned how to prevent the raising of checks. Now, I pretend to know this very thing, and my plan is so simple that wonder the bankers of this country have not drop ped on to it long ago, but they haven't, and if tell them about 1t think they ought to be willing to do something for me. It is my intention to let them and the world know about this plan for pre- venting the raising of checks, without asking any reward in advance. They will see the value of this to them, and I suppose they will feel more kindly disposed to me. If that is so, and they show disposition to assist me, I shall gratefully accept their help in making living for myself and wife"
 It is very good of Becker to be will ing to help civilization out after it has helped him in, and if he can show how the raising of checks can be prevented he will deserve whatever reward he gets even if 1t be no more than the reward which comes from the con- sciousness of having done good deed.

pENSION EXPANSION.

Senator Vest is not an expansionlst, .rd he thinks the pension list has al- ready been too much expanded. More- over. hethinks that s9mething very much like political bribery has had not It. tie to do with it's expansion He points l out that in his own State, Missouri, | where there were furnished, according | to official reports, 109,000 soldiers to the federal army during the four years Of hostilities there are now 53,OOO pensions | CTS. nearly one-half of the whole num- her of soldiers that were in the army from that State, even for thirty days.
 That is an astounding record and who'll | ly inexplioable on any other ground than that of political bribery. The tensions amount to $7200,000 annually, l and a large part of this represents an exchange of influence for influence. The vote-getter and vote-giver arrange a purchase and sale and the govern ment is made to foot the bill. An in- | teresting comparison between the fig ures for Illinois and Indiana developed some curious features. Illinois fur. nished 25so92 soldiers and has 6S,717 l pensioners who are paid annually $9,- 1 943. .2S3 Indiana's soldiers were 196,363, her pensioners number 6S, ,213, and their
 pensions amount to s1O,55O,9OO annually. | While Illinois contribution to the army | greatly exceeded that of Indiana the excess of her pensioners is very small and her pensions are actually below | those of the sister State. This can be explained, as Senator Vest pointed out, 1 in one way only. Indiana was debata-
 bIe political ground for years, and Dem-
 ocrats and Republicans vied with each other in the use of the pension bribe.
 Of course it will be clamorously said i that what Senator Vest has said about the pension business isn't true, but
 some will admit that it would be inter- esting if it were true.

---------- ---------------------- MIR. RIOS' GLOOM.

It is not to be expected that Senor
 Montero Rios, president of the Spanish
 Peace commission, feels very good. He doesn't. He has told the great M de Blowitz how he feels. and M. de Blowitz has told the world. MT. Rios says we are upstart conquerors. He also says that we have disregarded international
 law and attempted to deprive Spain of | her honor He also thinks we can and shall learn something later, and among the things he thinks we may learn Is that the Philippines are not yet con quered. Concerning this he says: Yet, l I repeat, the Philippines even now are still unconquered. The two chief is- 1 lands, the two richest-Mindanao and l Luzon-are not won. Mindanao and the Island of the Great Lake contain a population of half-breeds, half-Malay and half-Spanish, constituting a mili- l tary oligarchy which rules the rest of the islands and occupies the richest DOT tion of the territory on the shores of | the lake. I know the country and it's i inhabitants. They are proud, strong
 and warlike; and, not only are they un-
 conquered, but their conquest will not
 be accomplished quickly Yet the Unit
 ed States claimed them, as we'll as the -yo Jr, pcf
 was complete.
 If MT. Rios is right there is more
 fighting for us to do. Probably he hopes
 that we shall make as bad work of
 conauering the Filipinos as the Span
 iards have. But we shall not. If they
 want to fight us they will have the
 privilege of doing it, but it will not be
 a very pleasant or prolonged privilege

Miss Jane Addams, who has a well earned reputation for deliberation and conservatism in her treatment of the social problems with which she comes in contact, has discovered that several murders have recently occurred in the Nineteenth ward of Chicago, all of them due to passions excited by the late Spanish American war; She observes also that she finds the children of her district playing at war as never before. And the peculiar thing about it is that they are never freeing the Cubans," but merely Staying Spaniards."

FASHION NOTES.
Shades of n Color Flock Together.

There is pronounced liking just now for entire costumes, hat gloves and all, composed of several shades of one color
 The idea adapts itself equally we'll to any class of costume. An instance was a simple house dress of deep red vel veteen, soft rose nuns yelling and the most delicate blush-pink chiffon. The upper part of the skirt was velvet, the lower portion of the bodice yelling. and the yoke of the blush pink chiffon, this cut out little to show the still more delicate pink of the throat. Another instance was a street tailor dress of dull

bodice was an almost yellow green silk with embroidery of emerald stones and green velvet bands. The same blending of colors could be accomplished with less expensive materials, For danc- ing dress, shades of yellow from pale orange to pale lemon are fine, and silk muslin, liberty silk and narrow ribbon arc suitable mediums.

In promoting American trade in other countries there has been much neglect of conditions essential to it's success, and Albion W. Tourgee, United States consul at Bordeaux, France, calls at tention in a recent report to one very foolish practice. He says that as a rule American advertisements and circulars sent to his district are printed in Eng fish and German. One would suppose that any intelligent business man would see the folly of that. The French peo- pie generally do not read English, while German to many of them is like a red rag to a mad bull. Instead of exciting their prejudices, business men should exercise tact by appealing to them in their own mother tongue. A circular printed in an unknown language natu- rally would be consigned to the waste basket.

The Georgia house of delegates has passed a bill to prevent creditors living in Georgia from sending claims out of the State, there to be levied upon the wages of railroad employees also resi- dents of that State. There were but twelve votes cast against the bill. It is claimed that this bill will save to the railroad employees of Georgia thousands of dollars every year and prevent many of them from being discharged, as the railroads, for manifest reasons, ire quently discharge employees when gar nisheed the second time. The friends of the bill claim that it is not designed to encourage empo1yes to evade payment of their just debts, but is intended to prevent them from being subject to gross hardships and expenses in being compelled to go hundreds of miles out of the State to defend claims, many of which are unjust and fraudulent.

The Popular Science News gives the reasons why persons should be covered when lying down, or even taking nap. Nature takes the time when one is ly- ing down to give the heart rest, and that organ consequently makes ten strokes less minute than when one is in an upright posture. Multiplying that by sixty minutes gives 600 strokes Therefore, in eight hours lying down the heart is saved nearly 5000 strokes, and as the heart pumps six ounces of blood with each stroke it lifts 30,O00 ounces less of blood in a night of eight hours spent in bed than when one is in an up- right position. As the blood flows so much more slowly through the veins while one is lying down, extra coverings must then supply the warmth usually furnished by circulation.

Captain May of the regular army says there will be no difficulty in obtaining recruits, because many disbanded VOL unteers will enlist in the regulars, de- spite their experiences, as they realize that officers of the, regular army know how to take care of them. Captain May added: "That is where the volunteer officers failed. They did not realize that an army officer should be as fla miliar with the kitchen as with the headquarters. An army officer in camp should spend an hour day in the kitchen. He should see that the men are we'll fed, for if they are we'll fed he can do anything with them. They will say: The old man is all right They always call the captain the old man among themselves, and will follow him to the last ditch."
