ODD CLASSIFICATION.
The Way n Carload of Trnmps Was
Designated In Mexico.

The Way n Carload of Trnmps Was
Designated In Mexico.
In Mexico the billing of railroad
freight requires knowledge and pre-
cison which can only be attained by
years of practice. This is due to the
peculiar classification of various arti-
cles and the different rates of customs
duties. A case recently occurred which
severely taxed the ingenuity of the
station agent, although he finally sue
ceeded in meeting all requirements.
The town was Overrun with tramps,
and the council determined that steps
must be taken to rid the city of them.
1t was finally decided to round them
up and ship them out of the country.
1t would be too expensive to purchase
tickets, so they concluded to hire stock
cars and ship their tramps as freight
The cars were procured, and by the
aid of the police the tramps We're gath
cred, but then the question arose as to
how the shipment should be designated
on the bill of lading.
The term persons" could not be
used as it would conflict with the state
law relative to proper accommodations
for the travelling public, and it would
also be in violation of the company's
rules governing the rates of passenger
traffic. Marketable commodities"
would not do, as that would subject
the carload to heavy duty upon cross
ing the tariff zone. Again they would
have to be classified as ''perishable' or
the dispatcher might order the car side
tracked along the line.
But fortunately there is a customs
law which exempts certain kinds Of
curiositles from duty, and so, after
much consideration, the tramps were
billed and forwarded as so many hun
dredweight of ''perishable curiosities-
unfit to eat"

Charge to Grand Jury.

Cleveland, O., April S,-Judgc Stone

charge to the grand jury. He said

1T is reported that men hang around
the halls for unlawful purposes that
whenever II jury has been sworn they
may get their names with II view 10

quires an investigation by the grand
jury and if ii is not true, such reports
should be stopped.

The Going to Theater Face.

Will some one please explain the "go-
ing to the theater face" Of the average
New Yorker? The question is suggest
ed by long experience in lobbies While
the auditors are passing into the houses
for the evening performances. The
writer stood for nearly an hour engag-
ed in the seemingly hopeless task of
discovering 'thc cheerful theater goer."
But in they poured, men and women,
each and every one with firm set jaw,
gloomy brow and the look of despair.
Perhaps it is because the long distances
Travelled on crowded cars and the

Rrnina Mike Soldiera.

A discussion recently took place in
the smoking room of Swiss hotel be-
tween a German and an American as
to the merits of their respective armies.
The former believed in discipline and
trained troops. The American believed
in training, too, but held that a lot de-
pended upon the material trained.
"Given," quoth he, ''that brains are
lacking, no amount of physical train
ing will make up for them. Take the
American troops, comparatively un-
trained, and see how well they fight.
It's because of their brains"
Nonsense" rejoined the aroused
German. "Untrained troops can never
stand against well drilled ones. Take
your country, for example, with prac-
tically no drilled army. What would
you do''- He paused impressively and
then said, What would you do if Ger

fectly drilled and perfectly equipped

PERFUMES AND HEALTH.
How Flower Scents May be obtRined
In Three Ways.

Pure violet essence is said to be es-
pecially suitable to nervous people, but
it must be obtained from the flowers
themselves, not from the chemical imi-
tations. Chemically derived perfumes
are irritant, poisonous even, to persons
of especially sensitive constitution.
True flower scents are obtained in
three .ways--tirst, by spreading fresh
blossoms upon glass thickly smeafed
with puge grease, letting them stand in
the sun and as they wilt replacing
them until the grease is as fragrant as
the flowers; second, by repeatedly in
fusing fresh petals in oil, and, third
by infusing them in ether, which is
then distilled TO a dry solid.
AS this solid sells for about $3.50 an
ounce it is easy to understand why the
ether process, though far and away the
best, is not commonly used But the
scented grease and the essences made

Rome, April Sin spite of the oppo'
sition of Cardinal Rmpolla. the papal
secretary of state, the Pope, has de
cided to send important special mis-
sions both to the coronation of King
Edward, and to the festivities in
Spain, to attend upon the enthroning of
King Alfonso. The cardinals opposi-
ton 10 the sending of the mission to
England was based on the fact that
the British parliament did not change
the anti-Cathoic formula of the re-
cession oath, and Mgr. Merry Del Val,
whom the pontiff designed TO be chief
of the missions, openly refused to go
while the present wording of the oath

The sun 7. seldom on Time.

The sun does not keep good time. He
is almost always too fast or too slow.
Once about the middle of April he is
just on time, then not again before the
middle OF June. At the beginning of
September he joins the clock third
time, and lastly once more late in De-
cember. Now, it would seem as If he
were startled at the way he had neg
lected us. In February he fell back un-
til he was fifteen minutes late. By the
beginning of March he had made up
five minutes of his loss, and before the
month is over he will have caught up
to within five minutes of the schedule.
Meanwhile the days have been growing
longer very rapidly. We begin March
with our nights longer thar our days.
We end it with our days longer than
our nights. In the one month we have
added to the length of our day an hour
and twenty minutes, bigger gain than
any other month can show.-Professor

A Chance to Retnilate.

The minister was young and easily
embarrassed. The first time he per-
formed the marriage ceremony it was
for a couple who were both younger
and still more easily embarrassed than
he.
When he had finished the service and
murmured n few kindly meant but
halting words to the young couple
whom he had just united, the bride
looked at him, blushing, but confident.
''Thank you," she said clearly. Its
real kind of you to congratulate us,
and as long as you haven't ever been
married yet, maybe we'll have chance
some day to retaliate."

Getting Into Moral Debt.

Philip ID. Armour, millionaire and
philanthropist, continually warned
young men against getting into debt,
He loved free men and despised slaves.
When asked II he admired n certain
brilliant orator, he said:. "He may have
a superb voice and fine presence, but
can't you hear the rattle of his chain?
That man is not free. He is under
moral obligations that demoralize him.
He is not speaking the deepest thing in
his soul, and / haven't time to hear any
slave talk. / want man to be just as
free as am."
On another occasion he said: Don't
get into debit mean moral debt. 1t
is bad enough to get into debt finan-
cially. There goes young man who
is mortgaged. That young man is leg
ging it along with a debt, and 1t will
take twice as much power to get him
along as the man without n debt.
There arc other debts and obligations
that are embarrassing In their entan-
clements. Don't get into debt morally,
my boy; don't get into debt so that you
may not exercise your freedom to its
limits"

Wonders In the Equinc Foot.

The foot of horse is one of the most
ingenious and uneXampled pieces of
mechanism in the whole range of ami
NAL structure. The outside hoof is
made up of series Of thin vertical
laminR of horn, about 500 in number.
Into this are fitted about 500 more thin
laminG, which belong to the coffin
bone, both sets being elastic and adher-
ent. The edges of quire of paper in
serted leaf by leaf into another quire
will furnish good idea of the arrange
ment of the lamlna in all the feet,
amounting to about 1000. These are
distributed in the most secure manner
and in n way that every spring is acted
upon in an oblique direction. Verify
there is a display Of natures wonder

People often wax impatient because
express trains cannot be stopped at
some unimportant little station at
which they wish to alight. They should
consider the cost of satisfying their
whim. A train going at rate of sixty
miles an hour can be stopped within
100 yards from the first application of
the brake. Now enough power is lost
to carry this same train fifteen miles
over a plane surface. First there is
the momentum acquired by the train
flying at this remarkable rate of speed,
then the loss of steam in applying the
brakes and lastly the extra amount Of
coal to compensate for all these losses,
for all of which impatient passengers
would not care to pay.

A COOL RECEPTION.


View OF the Explanation.
Letters OF introduction are not inva-
riably serviceablc. For one reason,
they may be too frnnk. Harry Furniss
in his Confessions of Caricaturist"
says that when brother artist was
setting forth on his travels in foreign
cimes he was provided with n letter
of introduction to a certain British
consul.
The writer of the letter inclosed 1t
In one to the artist, saying that he
would find the consul most arrant
snob, bumptious, arrogant humbug,
a cad TO the backbone. Still. he would
probably offer some courtesies to any
one who had a good social standing
and thus compensate the traveller for
having to come in contact with such
all insufferable vulgarian.
On the return of the artist to Eng
land the writer Of the letter asked how
he had Jared with the consul.
"Well, my dear fellow" drawled the
artist. "he did not receive me very
warmly, and he did not ask me to din
ner. In fact, he struck me as being
rather COOL"
"Well, you do surprise me-" rejoined
his friend. Hes a cad, as told you
in my letter, but he's very hospitable,
and really can't understand this state
of things. You gave him my letter of
Introduction
"Why, / thought so; but, do you
know, on my journey home l discov-
cred it in my pocketbook. So l must
have handed to him instead your note
to me about him.
The explanation was quite adequate.

County Commissioners to stop the

selected.
Judge Hayden's decision was receiv-
ed Tuesday by County Clerk Hershey.

point raised.
The plaintiffs claimed that irrepara-
bic damage would be done them If
the Jail were constructed upon the site
selected. They alleged that this would
bring their church in close proximity
with Objectionable people of various
kinds-''cut-throat murderers drunks,
lunatics, persons suffering with de-
lirium tremens, the product of the
slums, generally the off-scourings of
humanity"
