EGGS WENT TO SMASH.
Why One Should Not Sit Down In The
Dark On A Commuters Train.

Why One Should Not Sit Down In The
Dark On A Commuters Train.
The train had just pulled out of the
Erie station in Jersey City. A large,
stout man, who had seated himself in
the smoking car, changed his mind as
the train entered the tunnel and he
started to get a seat in one OF the
other coaches.
In the coach he entered were many
commuters carrying home household
supplies in packages, says the New
York Sun. The majority carried their
purchases in their arms, but some of
them had laid their bundles beside
them.
The stout man did not hesitate a
moment as to where he would sit, and,
it being very dark in the tunnel, he
Just took a chance and sat down any
where. When he did sit down a crash
ing sound was heard throughout the
car.
Just as the train passed out of the
tunnel the passengers in the coach
were much surprised to see the stout
man standing in the center of the car,
his trousers spattered with broken
eggs. He was in a rage and was
swearing.
A glimpse at the seat beside an
elderly man who was loaded down
with parcels told the tale. The stout
man had sat on couple of dozen eggs
that had been placed on the seat.
All the passengers sympathized
with the stout man. The elderly man
next to the broken eggs just looked
on and never said a word
The stout man stared hard at him
and evidently suspected him of being
the owner of the eggs. He approached
him and said:
Who owns those COMPOUNDED eggs?
Do you own them"
NO, sir! Know nothing about
them" answered the elderly man.
This answer left the stout man
nothing to do but keep cool. as he
could not prove that the elderly man
was the owner of the eggs. The CON
ductor came upon the scene at this
Juncture and cleaned the seat as best
he could. The stout man decided to
stand up for the rest of his journey,
and when he left the train at pater-
son he shook his fist at the elderly
man

WAYS OF ARCTIC ANIMAL LIFE.
The Beautiful Elder Duck and its

The Beautiful Elder Duck and it's
Young
During the summer months much of
the land becomes free from snow and
ice under the Joint action of sun and
wind. and the snow that rcsistS re
moval is darkened by a deposit Of fine
dust PARTICLES. In this season the an
imals wear theiI darker clothing, and
birds have, by way of change, less
gaudy plumage The background
their presence if the white dress of
winter were worn now; then too, it
makes it possible for the foxes, ducks
and other animals and birds to CRAFTY
a natural vanity by putting on, for a
time at least, another coat. In win
ter, white is again worn. The back
ground is now snow and ice. and The
only chance which the Arctic chicken
now has to deceive the fox is to ron
up like u ball and simulate a lump OF
ice. The icebcar is equipped success
fully to creep upon the ever-watchful
seal, because he looks like the other
blocks of white around him. He re
members, however, his black nose,
and is said to be sharp enough to GOV

his doing prey
The seal does not stop his search
for food until he has completely sat

takes a good nap, lying upon the very
edge of the ice, or as close as posi-

SAD AFRICAN CHILDHOOD.
Slight Pleasure in d Land Still Cursed
by Slavery.

Rev. F. Coillard in Sunday School
Times.-Children's life among the ma
tive tribes north of the Zambesi is as
unlike as possible the children's life
in Europe, or, dare say, in America.
The curse of slavery in blighung
human existence has not spared the
children. They are the richest part
Of the booty Of a raid. They are
wrenched from their mothers arms
despite their tears, and often, when
they prove too troublesome on the
road, their heads are merci7esgly
smashed with a club. Those who have
fortitude enough to swallow their
grief. and 10 endure the hardships Of
the Journey, are like SO many head OF
cattle, and, allotted generally 10 their
cagtors become the slaves OF other
slaves. Little girls 5 or 6 years old

CAPTAIN J. K. PRICE RETIRED.
HIS APPLICATION PROMPTLY GRANTED
DISTRICT ATTORNEY GETTING EVI-
DENCE IN HIS RECENT
PRECINCT.

Police Captain James X. Price, who was trans
ferred recently from fremont to the "redlight
district east of the Bowery, yesterday asked
for retirement a pension Commissioner
Partridge granted the application promptly ana
assigned Sergeant McDermott as acting captain
in Eldrdge-st. AS Price was leaHlhs A''iNe
Headquarters he said:
Il have retired because I am ffty-six years
old. and 1 don't feel physically able to so down
and take the hard knocks you have got TO stand
in that redIight district. / would be liable TO go
out and hurt some of those people down there,
and then I'd have to stand trial. l suppose. l
am now going home and am glad OF it I'm go
ing TO cultivate an acquaintance with my own
family
Price has been a picturesque figure in the
police force for tWenty-eght years. Before he
was policeman he a boilermaker and
soldier in the United States Army. His army
service was partly in Alaska. where he helped
to raise the American flag after the purchase
of Alaska from Russia AS young policeman
in the Tenderloin he found favor with Captain
Williams and was one of Williams's wardmen
for years He regarded by many as the
uglest looking man the force. His brusque,
aggressive manners helped to make him un-
popular with many people. After Williams De
came an inspector. he helped Price to promotion.
Price was made a captain in 1892 In the late
Tammany administration Price had command
of the police in the Tenderloin for time, but
Devery suddenly transferred him to the Grand
Central Station and later sent him from one pre-
cinct TO another in a manner denotng dis
pleasure Nobody ever was able TO flnd out the
cause of Devery's hostility to Price
For several years Price has lived at No 632

Bronx. He has purchased considerable real
estate in that part of the city in recent years.
