IN BEHALF OF LOVERS.
Law Needed to Prevent Encroach-

less corporations toward lovers and all the
world that loves lovers does not cease.
Only a few days ago Philadelphia awoke
to wrath and indignation over an announce
ment that kissing had been prohibited in
the BrOad-street station, and now it is
announced from Altoona that the June
weddings nave almost caused a rice crop
to grow in the station at that point. so
much of that sentimental cereal has been
slung at bridal parties within the premises
of the corporation The climax came last
week. when a big gum shoe struck the sta
ton master in the ear. 1t may be that the
Altoona station master never was married,
but, in any event, the girls of the town are
asking how he ever could have been born
had there been no love making, and they
are quite sure he could not get any one TO
have him now, and that it ought to have
been a Chicago brogan instead of a gum
shoe.
Instead Of troubling lovers and rice
thrOwers and acknowledgements the
railroad companies ought to have sense
enough to go for some real station nui-

lovers hugely entertain the travelling public
without asking either the railroads or the
public to pay them for it.

CHRISTIANITY AND RUGS
DOUBTFUL ATTITUDE TOWARD BOTH
OF MUGOVITCH ALEXANDRIAN.
Bound Over TO Grand Jury on Charge
of Stealing a Fine Persian Rug
from Mrs. m

Detectives Colbert and Hauser for sew
eral months have been trying TO prove that,
though Mugovitch A~lexandrian may be a
heather or some sort of Christian he cer-
tainly is not honest. Yesterday afternoon
Police Judge Stubs bound him over to
the grand jury. He is charged with hav-
ing stolen a Persian rug valued at $500 from
Mrs. Edward Schmidt, of 1923 North Me
ridian street. He was arrested last Feb
ruary and his case was continued until
this month on account Of Mrs. Schmidt
being in California.
Alexandrian last year lived on Broadway,
and besides selling and cleaning Oriental
rugs he did something in the line OF Chris
tian ministry. He made friends among
church members, and some Of them were
disillusioniZed. They and the persons that
continued friendly to Alexandrian were In
Police Court to testify for and against his
responsibility. The detectives had thirty
witnesses for the prosecution. John the
Baptist, a modern despite his name, and an
Armenian that has been studying at But
Ter College asserted that Alexandrian had
not the good opinion of the honest Armeni-
ans that knew him. The detectives also
were Informed that an Ohio conference or
the Christian Church expelled AleXandrian
after investigating his business methods.
According to the testimony against him
AleXandrian called on Mrs. Schmidt early
last winter and offered TO clean her collec-
ton of 100 Oriental rugs. He told her that
he had been one of the most intense SUI
ferers from Turkish cruelty in dOwntrod-
den Armenia, that he had been converted
10 Christianity and was trying TO make his
way in the new world. In examining and
commenting on the rugs he displayed a
knowledge of the subject that was ad-
mirable, and Mrs. Schmidt gave him the
contract. After he had taken the rugs
away Mrs. Schmidt left the city, and when
his work was done two of the members of
her family sent the Jug to a storage
house, where they were bound in burlap
and put away. On Mrs. Schmidts return
she had the rugs returned to her home,
and when they were unrolled one of the
finest of them was missing. She COM
planned to the police. and before AleXan-
drian was arrested she left for California.
Detectives Colbert and Hauser assert that
AleXandrian has been making a business
of selling imitation Turkish rugs for genu-
inc and substituting limitations for the real
thing when owners let him have rugs to
be cleaned. He has a brother in New York.

WHILE WE SLEEP.
Muscles and Organs of the Body Are
Still Working.
Ainslee's Magazine.

Ia > N1dSdLAAlt.
If the organs of the body cannot be said
to sleep, neither can the voluntary muscles.
Witness the phenomena OF sleep-walklng;
the positions in stage-coach days who slept
in their saddles, and cavalrymen who do 1t
to-day; infantry who have been known 10
sleep on forced marches; sentinels who walk
their beats carrying their guns in a fixed
position, while they sleep. For all we know,
policemen may do il, too. People who talk
in their sleep are familiar 10 all Of US. Elk
periments made by Speir, Armstrong and
Child on 200 college students OF both
sexes showed that AZ per cent. of the men
and 81 per cent of the women talked in
their sleep. A number of things might be
proved by these statistics. OF these sleep
takers, one-half OF the women and one
tons while asleep. More women than men
could answer questions on any subject. not
alone that of which they had been talking.
1t has also been found that most sleep-talk-
ers are under twenty-five years of age.
Evidently. then. with the muscles and
organs of the body all working, il is the
brain only that sleeps. and by no means
all Of the brain. The senses of sight. hear
ing. touch. smell and taste may be very
much awake while the subject sleeps. A
sleeping person hears and answers Ques-

circulation. 1t is caused by anemia of the
brain resulting from a dilatiOn OF the blood
vessels OF the body and the consequent
flow into them of the entire mass of blood.
This absence of blood from the brain ar
rests the action OF the heart and produces
loss OF consciousness. 1t is probable that
the heart does not stop beating entirely,
but acts so feebly that no pulse can be felt.
Alarming as a ~fainting spell may be, IL is
very seldom, indeed. when the heart is not
actually diseased, that a person dies in one.
Women are more liable 10 faint than men,
but there are few even of the latter who
have not at some time during their lives ex-
perlenced at least q faint feeling, If not an
actual loss Of Consciousness.
In the case Of a fainting mt. the first thing
TO do is 10 lay the person fat on the back,
II possible with the head lower than the
feet, and then 10 loosen all the clothing.
Vigorous tanning and sprinkling the face
with cold water will help TO equaliZe the
circulation. Burning a feather under the
nose is sometimes of service. Smelling salts
may also be used, but ammonia water is
unadvisable. for the person may suddenly
take a deep breath and inhale a powerful
dose Of the pungent gas. Brandy and all
other alcohol stimulants will do more
harm than good.
Persons who are subject TO fainting spells
should avoid hot rooms and hot baths,
stimulants of all ~kinds-strong tea and
coffee as we'll as alcohol-and food of an in
digestible nature.

THE NEW STAR.
Some Unexpected and Startling
Changes Detected.

Prof. Winslow Upton, in Providence Journal.
A little over a year ago the most remark
able new or temporary star or modern
times appeared in the constellation Perseus.
The star was not in any catalogue, and two
days before its discovery ii was not bright
enough to be shown on a Photographic plate
of the region containing stars which have
but ~one-hundredth of the light given out by
the faintest star visible to the naked eye.
On Feb. %, two days after the discovery, 1t
reached its greatest brightness, when IL was
as bright as Capella, the third star IN order
of brightness in the whole heavens. 1t
Waned slowly and with several well-marked
fluctuations in its light, and in two months
was on the limit of visibility with the naked
eye. 1t is still easily visible in telescopes
of small size.
During its decrease in brightness it
changed color from white to dull red, and
is now somewhat greenish in tint. The
spectrum was at first continuous, such as is
given by the light from a glowing solid or
liquid body or from a gas under PRESSURE;
then bright bands were formed, which later
assumed the form and position of the bands
in the spectra of nebulae. All these changes
were expected. as they followed closely the
history of similar stars in recent years.
But within a few months most unexpected
and startling changes have occurred which
have made the star once more the chief OBJ
ject of interest in the sky. The nebulae
which surrounds the star, or into which the
star has been changed, has been success
fully photographed at several observatories
which are equipped with telescopes OF great
power, and it contains several centers of
condensation whose positions are shifting
so rapidly that their motion can be detected
in photographs taken but several days
apart. Careful attempts to determine the
parallaX of the star shows that it is map
probable; the star, therefore, is at a very
great distance from the earth. There seems
to be no doubt that the actual motion in the
nebulae is greater than anything heretofore
detected. The velocity must be as great as
that with which light travels and the ma
ture of such a motion is as mysterious as
that of light itself.
Already the theories which attempt to ac-
count for the birth and life history Of the
various bodies in the universe are being re-
modelled to include these newly discovered
facts, and the new theories will probably
suffer later rejection when more facts are
found which conflict with them. The mys-
teries of the universe become more I'M
f~athomable the deeper we are permitted to
explore them and as knowledge increases
the extent of that which still remains to be
explained increases also.
