A car-refltting company in New York
city buys old Pullman coaches, tears

serviceable cars have been built from
the old "castaways," and the man OF

AS result of tangle in the steer
ing gear of his automobile, Arthur
Fasker of Philadelphia met with pc
culiar accident. He started to take a
spin down to Baltimore recently, but
turned aside from the high road when
a few miles out from the city. He was
coursing at a speed of eleven miles
when suddenly, without apparent
cause, the machine spurted and veered
to one side. 1t was going at the rate
of seyenty-fiye miles an hour when 1t

tunately, instead of being an upright

Miss Mollie Dalton couldn't see any
great good sense in being unempios eu.
While her Jerome was struggling w

that she should watch him, hanuS

But Jerome could not bear the
thought Of her being doctor, ana ny
told her well of it, as they sat tosetheE
on the soft turf, beneath the shade OF
a great beech one August afternoon.

II Is pity that such interesting and
useful creatures as spiders should be
SO universally disliked. writes ". Hud.
son Moore in the Chautauuuan. The
chief prejudice against them arises
from the poisonous nature Of their
sting or bite. but II one can put all
this mass Of testimony out Of mind
and believe that spiders bite Is no
more harmful than needles prick
one can endure their proximity. and
study their habits at leisure Who
that kills spider is prepared to do its
work to mankind! Under the head OF
benefcent insects should be written
large the name Arachnida. Their mis-
sion is to keep down the hordes OF In :
sects whose increase would threaten
the life OF mankind. Some scientist
has advanced the theory that If dragon
flies we're raised In sufficient numbers
they would keep down the hordes OF
mosquitoes that rayage our coasts. as
well as our inland retreats. But Mr..
Henry McCook. our most famous
arachnologist, thinks that IL spiders
we're protected and suffered to Increase
the mosquito plague would be lessened

consider the remedy worse than the

According to the Medical Record, a
gang of swindlers has been playing a
despicable trick on numerous pharma-
cists In Brooklyn. A man goes to a
drug store with simple prescription,
has it made up, and takes the mix
ture away with him. In an hour or
two, or the following day, the pur-
chaser returns with the medicine,
which he says he gave to his wife or
child, as the case may be, and that the
patient was nearly killed by poison
which was there through the blunder
OF the compounder. He says his ply
stefan has analysed the mixture and
demonstrated the presence Of poison,
and he allows the druggist to test 1t
then and there. The poison is, of
course, found, as the swindler has
added 1t himself, and he thereupon an
nounces his determination to sue the
druggist for damages to atone for the
results of his alleged blunder. II the
pharmacist becomes frightened at the
idea OF suit for damages, and thinks
It may be possible that a mistake has
been made, he may accept the sugges-
ton of the blackmailer to settle the
case out of court. The amount OF set
tlement is said to vary from $50 to
$500.
