SHOT THROUGH COACH.
Narrow Escape of Lady on East
Bound Southern Yesterday.

Parties who arrived here yesterday
morning on the Southern train from the
west gave an account of an outrageous
affair near kebane. 1t seems that
when the train was only short distance
from that station some one fired at the
train with a rifle or pistol, and the ball
went through the passenger coach. A
lady was seated by the window md
she had a very narrow escape, since
the ball must have passed Immediately
in front of her face, as glass OH
each side Of the coach was broken out.
The conductor was in another coach
and when he was notified the train was
at least a mile away from the spot.

TIE SURvIVAL OF AN ERROR.

A curious example of the capacity Of error for
nernetuating itself in many minds is seen In
current assertions that If Governor Roosevelt
decides to call an extra session ne must specify
IN his summons the subjects Of legislative ac-
ton. Inasmuch as this particular mlsapprehen-
sion. having widely prevailed last summer was
not OILY exposed prior to Governor BLACK call
for m extra session in July but officially cor
rected by the call itself in which. following the
nrecedent SET BIZ Governor Flower In 1S92 ana
subsequently sustained by the Court of Appeals

grave and learned commentators on pubic al

IMMUNE FROM MUSIC.
The Odd Verdict of q sorely Tried
Teacher Who Was Disappointed
In . Pupil.

One of Chicago's music teachers, a
Frenchmun, went to Cuba as bugler in
an Illinois company. Since his return
he has had some difficulty in building
up a profitable class, and for that rea-
son he has been compelled to accept
a number of unpromising pupils, says
the Inter Ocean.
The patience Of the teacher became
exhausted in the case of one pupil, the
daughter of North side board of trade
man. In a moment of recklessness the
Frenchman summoned all the English
at his command and wrote the follow
ing note to the father of the girl who
was not making advancement in her
piano studies:
Dear Sir: 1t regrets me, indeed. to
make announcement to you that your
daughter is what may be called music
immune. AS a man of honor, I give you
my word that, even should she be ex-
posed repeatedly to infection at grand
operas and concerts. not a single germ
of music would lodge in her mind, her
soul, her constitution in general.
Again, with apologies most humble !

immune, and so / hereby muster her
out of my class, with regrets most sad

TOO MUCH FURNITURE.
Nothing Is More BILE Than
to Have the Room
Crowded.

There are many girls who, by the
way, are exceedingly happy. whose
married life is one long study of the
science of economy, with its various
branches of ways and means" and
"how to make two ends meet" and "the
possibility of 81 doing the duty Of S."
There is not, however, the study ofecon-
omy in money matters alone, but there
are also the economy of labor, the econ
omy of time and the economy of health
to be considered.
When we start housekeeping and be-
gin to buy the necessary furniture for
our future dwelling places, we women.
one and all, have the same intense de-
sire to make our homes as beautiful
and pleasant to look upon as 1t lies in
our power to do.
Unless one can afford to keep plenty
of domestics tits well to avoid furniture
that has much carving upon it. Simple
decorative designs have better "bred''
air about them and, what is more i'm
portant, are much easier to make clean
and keep SO. Nothing looks worse than
little gray heaps Of dust accumulated
in difficult corners Of an elaborately Or
namented piece of woodwork, especial
ly II it belongs to the cheap and common
order of things.
1t does not follow by any means that
furniture must be costly to be beau
tiful, but it is well when purchasing to
remember that it is not only the amount
Of money paid that constitutes "sav-
ing" Therefore one must exercise
the greatest discretion.
Crowding rooms with furniture is
not only sign Of bad taste, but it is
potitively unhealthy. All the space
taken up by chattels means SO much
less air for breathing purposes.-N. Y.
