SHuN ITALIAN TRAINS.
Railway Passengers Have TO Fight

hallway Passengers Have TO Fight to
Secure Their Seats.
Americans who are planning visit
to Italy should be interested in the re-
marks of a writer IN the London Times
concerning the increasing horrors of
railway travelling In that country.
The practice which this writer says
that foreigners are finding most annoy
ing is the failure to provide a sufficient
number of railway carriages, and the
consequent overcrowding. During a
large part of the year." he says, ''at
every important station, comes a strug-
gle-pushing, pulling quarreling, fight
ing the way In and out of carriages"
He adds that those who travel first
class are as much imposed upon as the
rest, and says that again and again, In
iirst-class carriages, he has seen people
standing for long distances. besides
those who Were jammed together on
the seats. Men and women get to the
station half an hour ahead of time and
wait there, even when it is raining, in
order to be able to fight their way
aboard the minute the train stops.
The writer adds that even between
cities like Venice and Florence, there
are few, If any. through trains, the pas
sengers being turned out of one and
wedgedinto another. solely, he believes,
Ia order that the railroad employees may
be able to mulct them in fees. Except
in the trains de luxe, into which only
first class passengers are adj lifted, at
outrageous prices, no provision what
ever is made for inyalids, children, or
the folk who come to Italy for their
health. Underlings are encouraged by
their superiors to work" the passen-
gers for all they are worth, and the
writer speaks of having seen we'll

According 70 this traveller, the annoy
ances of which he complains were OBJ
served not during the rush" season,
but on return, coming northward from
Rome at the time when most voyagers
were going in the other direction. He
says that the passenger vessels which
ply along the Italian coast are crowd
ed with American, British and German
travellers, who would much rather have
taken the quicker and more picturesque
railroad journey. but whom past ex-
perience has frightened off.

When he saw that time for action had

there was no time given Barbara Mer-

Of the awful precipice.
Even then she might have recovered
her equilibrium and saved herself. but it
seemed as though it were fated she
should perish, for the earth crumbled
away beneath her weight. and, with a
sharp cry, she went down.
When hope seemed indeed lost, a ray
came to her, for her hands, thrown out
with a clutch of despair, fastened upon
a root that jutted from the face Of the
cliff at its very top. There she clung,

back upon the spot.
He heard no sound, no cry. but when
he turned a few minutes later, the hands
had vanished. Spite of his satanic ma
ture, the arch plotter could not but feel
the shudder that passed over his frame

gypsy girl whirling down to the awful

Army DOCTORS Arc Scarce.

There seems to be great reluctance on
the part of young physicians to seek
careers in the army. although the ranks
OF the profession in civil life are
greatly overcro Tded. Many vacancies
still continue in the commissioned
medical corps OF the army, not
withstanding the efforts Of the
surgeon general TO secure doctors
for his branch of the service, The pro
fessional examination is more or less
rigid but 20 young doctor, newly
