SELFISH MAN PUNISHED.
a Little Train Incident That Gave
Justice.LOvinE Passengers
Much JOY.

Passengers on an Atlantic City train a
few evenings ago were treated to spectacle
Of retributive justice that tickled them ia.
mously The car was crowded, and, as the
dust was flying pretty thickly, all the pas
scngers save one had their windows down.
This unpleasant exception was disgruntled-
looking party, with a plentiful growth OF
weedy looking whiskers, and these he al
lowed to SWAY in and out of the window with
the pusty zephyrs OF course, he got none
Of the dust aid cinders, for these always
blow in the seat directly behind. Two nicely
dressed women occupied these unfortunate
quarters, and, after suffering martyrdom for
about 20 minutes, one of them asked the
'.open-window fiend" if he would mind put
ting the window down. Mo- he replied,
gruffly. Its too warm. If you don't like 1t
change your seat.
In front of the man sat a travelling man,
who took in the situation at glance. Quick
as fash he raised his window, and instant
err the flowing facial appendages of the man
behind began to perform most fearful Sc
ries of gyrations The dust speckled them,
and the wind twisted them. Their owner,
after few moments of such violence, got
red in the face and then put his window
down A few moments later he leaned over
and asked the other passengers to shut of
the draught in similar manner, but, to the
intense amusement and qualification of the
balance of the people in the car, who had
watched the little comedy all the way
through, the drummer, without SO much as a
twinkle of the eve, replied: No! It's toe
warm. II you don't like it change your
seat!"-Philadelphi Record.

a1s BUSINESS ABILITY.
N n Hanger On Young Mr.. Blank
Was Gritty and Glorious
Success.

This fair maid will have handsome dot
scme time, and it is the ambition of her
father to have her marry one whose fortune
will at least equal her own.
II want you to stop that young Blank CALI
ing here" he remarked, recently, in the an-
tocratic way that some fathers have. HE
has no prospects worth speaking of, there is
nothing to show that he has any business
ability, and don't want him hanging around
here any more.
"What is business ability, papa: ?"
"Why, you know. Everybody knows, Of
course. Let me see. Why, It'll the ability to
see the main chance, to grab it, and hang on
till you get the money. That's what it is,
and there's plenty of young men in Detroit
that have it. Blank lacks it woefully."
''Oh, he does? I'm afraid, papa, that
you're speaking without proper information.
He knows that I'll have 500, 900 some time.
That is main chance worth looking after:
Mr.. Blank saw it. He reached out and
grabbed for it. He's hanging on, and he's
going to get it. Do you happen to know OF
any other young man of his age and limited
opportunities whose business ability has as
sured him SO handsome fortune:"
The old gentleman's answer sounded sus-
piciously like smothered profanity, and it
was fully FIVE minutes before the bewitching
creature could bring the sunshine of a smile
to his face. Now he tells few confidentiai
friends that young Blank has the making OF
one of the best business men in the city,

ORDINARY C1vIL1TY.
1t a. Elucidated by Mr..
GOhbleby.

II should recommend as an investment"
said Mr. Gobbleby, "the practice of civility.
As matter of fact, don't suppose that a
very great number OF men have suddenly be-
come wealthy through this means; that is,
don't suppose that large number of very
rich people have left fortunes to men who
had been at one time or another polite to
them, but / don't doubt, either, that there
have been just such cases, and don't for a
moment doubt that substantial advantages
have often accrued to men through their
consistent civility.
But aside from any question Of material
profit Though there is still always the
chance of that involved in it, should say
that the exercise of civility would pay for
another reason. There are lots of people
who like civil treatment, who are, in fact,
really pleased by it, and though we might
not get anything in dollars and cents out Of
civility extended in this way toward people
in general, yet should say it would pay, for
we should get from it, at least, the pleasure
that is always to be derived from affordine
pleasure to others.
$50 should say that from whatever point
of view we look at it, civility is good in
vestment; we are sure to get something out
of it, anyway, and it doesn't cost us cent. .

main both in office and in England, a
law prevailing in the Fatherland that
forbids budding statesmen to mate

CURE FOR L0CKJAw.
Used by an English Physician
in Two Cases.

Lockjaw when caused by a wound
has long been considered incurable, and
it is only of late years that a few in
stances of successful treatment have
been recorded, the most striking being
those effected by the Indian woorali
poison and by enormous doses of alco-
hol. Two cases are reported in which
all the alarming symptoms were re-
moved by violent perspiration. The
first was that of a young man of %,
who had the misfortune of having his
hand caught in gearing of a threshing
machine, part of the skin was torn of,
but in the course of fortnight every
thing seemed progressing toward a
speedy cure, when one morning the pa
tent awoke with strange rigidity in
his jaws, violent pain all over the stern
UNI, intermittent difficulty of breathing
and convulsive starts in the lower limbs.
A doctor being called in, he immediate
" proceeded to throw the patient into
a violent perspiration. For this pur-
pose he had hoops put under the bed
clothes in order to prevent their con-
tact with the body, and then got four
deep pots filled with quicklime, which
he slightly moistened with water.
To prevent the skin from being
scorched, each pot was wrapped in
linen and placed on each side of the pa
tient, orders being given to the family
to .moisten the quicklime from time to
time and to change it when exhausted.
The heat engendered was SO intense
that on the first day the bedclothes
caught fire, which, however, was speed
lily extinguished. As for the perspira-
ton, it was so immoderate as to pass
all belief. On the fifth day all tetanic
symptoms had disappeared, except a
little stiffness in the jaws, the patient
was in state of complete prostration,
which was, however, removed by good
nourishment, and in a few days after
all traces of the dangerous affection
had disappeared.
The second case was that of day Ia
borer, who, when the doctor came, APP
peared in dying state. He at first de-
MED having had any wound, but upon
examination an injury caused by hob
nail was discovered on one of his great
toes-a circumstance the patient had
forgotten. The treatment was the
same and attended with the same re-
sult.-Lonton Globe.
