WOMEN HAVE BEST OF IT.
Difference shown the Feminine SEX
in Transferring salt Lake street
Car Passengers.

Women in Salt Lake City have a
considerable advantage over the men
when they come to patronize the
street cars. In that haven of Nor
monism they have a system of street
railway transfers which is hard to
beat. The passenger who receives a
transfer from a Salt Lake conductor
is compelled to use it himself or
throw it away.
Every ticket has printed on it, be-
sides the usual hours and the names
of intersecting lines, a row or seven
small heads. Five of them are male
heads, two are female. Of the male
heads the first is a beardless face,
the second bears a mustache, the
third mutton chop whiskers. the
fourth a chin beard and the fifth is
fully bearded. Beneath the row are
two plus signs, with a forty between
them. The conductor is required to
identify each passenger by punch
ing one of the faces and one of the
signs for age, the first plus being
used for young men, the 40 for men
of middle age and the final plus for
elderly men.
OF the heads representing women
one wears hat and represents
young women in general, and the
other bonnet, for matrons. With
really rare delicacy, the question of
age is not mentioned in regard to
female passengers.

CARE OF WOUNDED SAILORS,
Their Position I'm Naval Battles Is
Matter of Grave Com
side Ion,

The British Medical association was
sitting at Cheltenham recently, and
one day some very interesting facts
were brought forward as to the po-
sition of the wounded in naval bat
ties. Owing to the alterations in
the structure of the ships, the old
arrangements under which the
wounded were at once carried down
to the cockpit cannot be continued,
and, on the opinion of Fleet Surgeon
c. Kirker, the most humane course,
now adopted both by the French
and japanese, is to leave the wound
ed sailors lie where they are until
spared to carry them down in ambu-
lances, which it will take some me-
chanical Skill to devise.
A light sleigh on runners of his
own device is now being tested pre-,
vious to approval. The wounded are
as safe on deck for a short time as
elsewhere, and modern wounds do
not cause dangerous loss of blood.
1t is essential, however, says the
London Spectator, that each ship
should have an operating room. which
at present is not included in the ac-
copied designs. 1t appears that the
general health of sailors in warships
is good, iron being much better than
wood for sanitation, but some i'm
provements are greatly required, and
should be attended to by the admir-
atty at once.

SEA SERPENT INDICATED.
Official Report of Monster One Hum
dred Feet Long Is Recorded in
the Government Archives.

After being the subject for many
years of uncertainty, doubt, and even
downright disbelief, the sea serpent
has been indicated officially and evil
dence of his reality recorded in the
government archives at Washington. In
report to the photographic office of
the navy department Henry II. Nell
gan, one of the regular observers of
marine events designated by the chief
photographer, officially vouches for
the existence of one of these monsters
of the deep. Mr.. Neligan's report was
mailed in Liverpool, where he arrived
November 10, on the Prada. The SER
pent was seen while the Prada was on
its last regular voyage from Calves
ton to Liverpool, and ne was 100 feet
long. Mr.. Neligan thus describes the
monster: THE head of the serpent
had a blunt, square nose and was eject
ing water to the height of two or three
feet from its nostrils. The animal or
fish had three distinct sets of fins and
a tail lying across like a porpoise. On
its back was a series of humps like a
camel" The latitude and longitude
mentioned by Mr.. Neligan are in the
Gulf of Mexico, about 100 miles south
west of the mouth of the Mississippi.
Neigan's responsibility is vouched for
by the officers of the hydrograp Of

There is at least one old-fashioned

LADIES GO FROG HUNTING.
1t Is a FayOrite Amusem cnt of French
Women at COnstan-
tinople.

One of the favorite amusements Of
French ladies at Constantinople is
frog hunting, says the London Tele-
graph. A large party is organized, the
ladies all appear in dainty Partisan oil
lettes, with very high heels to their
boots. and each carries long bamboo
rod. The gentlemen are got up in prop
er costume for "la chasse' and bear
sticks. Then they all adjourn TO some
marshy spot where frogs abound and
begin fishing. The bait is a piece of
raw meat tied to a string at the end
of the bamboo.
The ladies do the fishing, and as soon
as one sees that frog has swallowed
the bait she gives a violent jerk to he
rod, which brings the frog out onto
the land The attendant sportsmen
then fall upon the ferocious animal
and STAY it with their sticks. The la
dies sometimes also join in the Last ia
tai act, but the men always try o dis
suade them. as in their excitement
they frequently mistake a mans head
or foot for the frog and the sport be-
comes too dangerous.

DIFFERENCES IN FOGS.

The fog of London and the fog of the

Though the candle comes out trium-

The word fog" says the New York
Commercial Advertiser, has not been
traced farther back than the sixteenth
century, but the thing was known in
the early years of the fourteenth. The
commons, with the prelates and mobiles
visiting London for the parliaments
and on other occasions, united to petit

growing use of sea coal corrupted the
air with its stink and smoke, to the
great prejudice and detriment of
health. In 1906 the king prohibited the
use of coal; heavy ransom and fines
were inflicted for disobedience; in the
case of recalcitrant brewers, dyers and
other artificers the furnaces and kilns
were destroyed. But the restriction
was evidently removed, for in 1905
$3.50 (probably equal to $4,000 now was
paid from the eXchequer for wood and
coal for the coronation of Edward ii.

An amusing instance of force of
habit is reported in England. A lady
walking in the country with brother
lately returned from the front was
greatly alarmed, not at the sound OF
blasting from a neighboring quarry
but at her brothers falling fiat to
the ground at the instant. She, of
course, assumed that he had been in
iured; but it turned out that he had
been in the habit, for months, by or
der, of prostratilg himself on the
veldt at the sound of a gun. Me
chanical obedience of this kind has
been effectively utilized in the case
of suspected deserters. An abrupt
shout of Halt" brings any man who
was lately in the ranks to sudden
standstill.
