persons who go home from clubs at
two in the morning may have TO be
persuaded in six different ways before
they offer anything TO ring up says
Charles NJ. Skinner in the Atlantic.
The conductor must keep fifty or sixty
streets in mind he must be sure to
let the elderly lady off at the one she
has been thinking of, and when she
fOils him he must not impeach her
veracity If she Just knew" she told
him. He must not allow the man who
immerses himself in a newspaper 70
forget an obligation Of five cents to
the company. He must curb natural
inclination 10 embrace the wives OF
strangers when he lifts them up the
steps. He must call the attention OK
forgetful persons to the fact that they
are chewing tobacco, or are drunk.
He must arbitrate between the man
who opens the window and the woman
who wants it shut, and shut II. He
must insinuate himself up and down
the aisle Of his car without tipping
standees into the laps of irascblc
bankers, or treading on the cOrns OF
such as wear them And while others
clutch Mt straps or dashboards or door
knobs or the cord he rings his fares
with. When the motOrman is seized
with 4 sudden frenzy for action he
must never lie down on the floor or
lose his dignity. He can be philo-
sophie after he grows used to it, and

RetrnYsd hY Golden Locks.

A prominent public official began TO
show signs Of badness, and then rather
surprised his friends by appearing
with sleek. well-groomed crop OF
dark hair. For some time no one sus-
pected a wig. But few days ago he
appeared with the top of his head
covered with the usual dark brown
hair, but a sharp line, from the tips
of the ears, marked a strong contrast.
for the hair below the line was Of the
bright golden hue which is tho pride
of the chemical blondes
1t was found out that the man found
his natural hair was turning gray and
desired TO make it match the wig, so
he invested in preparation warranted
10 darken the hair, and in the secret
Of his own room applied II. But ow.
ing TO some strange chemical combina-
tion, instead Of making the silvered
hair dark it made the dark hair golden,
and so far the unfortunate man has
found nothing that will counteract the
striking contrast so he is compelled to
endure no small amount Of chafing
from his friends-P Philadelphia Record.

they were quietly awaiting the appear

oNE o,E NATURES WONDER.
The stone Woman OF wingen. in New
South Wales.


In New South Wales, near Wingen, a
natural curiosity is observable. This
is an object popularity known as the
stone Woman of Wlngen. The spur of
a mountain range, known as Salisbury
Crag, terminates in q bold, bluff head
land, about 200 feet above the level of
the valley, which it commands, the pro.
file assuming the form of a gray stone
woman of enormous dimensions sitting
with her back against the cliff, her
head separated from the top and her
feet hidden among the trees which
grow up to the bottom Of the cliff.
On her knee there is resting an open
book, which she is not reading, but in
stead is gazing forever with stead
fast unchanglng look down the beauti'
full valley of the Hunter. From where
the feet of the stone woman rest among
the towering trees that grow around
the base of Salisbury Crag to the
summit of her head must be about 800
feet, so that if she We're to stand up
straight some day she would be about
500 feet high. If the proper point OF
view be chosen the pose of the figure
Is perfect in its magnificent simplicity.
At Wingen also is to be seen the only
burning mountain to be found in Aus
tralia, and the only one not Of volcanic
origin known. The summit is 1920 feet
above sea level, and it is easily reached
from the township. 1t Is supposed TO
be an immense coal seam, which has
in some unaccountable way become
ignited and has been burning ever
since. When first discovered, during
the early days of settlement, the abor.
iginals Of the district explained, in their
own rude fashion. that the mountain
had been burning in the days Of their
forefathers; that. as far back as they
could remember there had always been
the big smoke
The course Of the fire can be traced
a considerable distance by the trans.
verse rents or chasms occasiOned by
the falling in of the ground, FROM un.
der which the coal had been consumed.
From years end to years end fumes
Of smoke are continually issuing from
the sides Of the mountains, the surface

with a sulphurous deposit. In the vi
cinity of the openings from which the
blush rings of smoke issue the ground

which it was originally covered having

the sum asked by the Government for
scientific research into the nature Of
cancer, and the best means to be EN-.
ployed in diminishing its ravages. The
representative of the Government states
that there has been established at the
charity hospital in Berlin laboratory
for scientific research into the nature,
cause and cure of cancer, and that the
sum Of 100000 marks have been ap.
propriated for the establishment of a
permanent cancer institution. The ply

report the conclusion is reached that
cancer is not hereditary but infectious.

The enormously heavy engines now
used to draw long railroad traiEs have
necessitated heavier rails. Heavier
rails have required that the ties be
laid close together. One Of the largest
items of expense in railway repair and
construction is the outlay for ties A
tie Of the best wood for the purpose
rarely lasts over four years. TO re
duce this expense, the bearing block
system was invented. In this system
the ties are placed further apart, and
between them are short blocks bound
TO the ties by thin bars of steel The
block can be inserted in place in one
third the time, and at less than one
third The expense incurred in replacing
The ordinary cross-tie. When a tie
becomes defective at one end and must
be removed, it can be sawed and used

Angling Extraordinary.

AT Winchester it is quite a common
thing to see men fishing through the
street gratings. Under High street
there flow several streams which ulti-
mately discharge into the River Itchen,
a noted trout stream. These streams
receive the storm and surface water
from the street by means Of the ordi-
nary street grating. The line Is
dropped through aud fastened TO the
end of a stick small enough to go
through the CRATE. When the fish is
hooked the line and stick are dropped
through tn. grating and the fisherman
rushes 10 the point where the stream
emerges from under the street and Is
there able 10 recover his line and land

Dickens and the Coronation.

An interesting contribution to tho
evening meeting Of the Boz Cuban
association composed Of those who
knew and loved Dickens dIhing his
lifetime-held at London, was narrated
by a peer, who himself has received II
from the mouth Of one who was pres
ert with his peers at the coronation
Of Queen Victoria. They had assem-.
bled in the abbey at six o'clock in the
morning, with the prospect Of remain
ing in their places for ten hours. but
twenty-five peers came provided with
copies of paper-covered installment,
published the previous evening, of II
story by Boz. Less fortunate peers
demanded that the number Should be
read aloud, but this proposal being OBJ
jected TO as inconsistent with the sane.
tity Of the place, they waited as pa
tiently as they could until each in his
turn received the coveted chapters.
The point Of the story, says tho
London Graphic. is that there was at
that time in England n novelist who,
though only twenty-siX years Of age
could command the public interest to
such an extent that 10 fewer than
twenty-five copies Of his work Were
10 be found in one gallery of THAI au.
gust assembly.
