Among his passengers was meek
little German girl, who couldn't speak
word of English. On card which she
carried were instructions to put her off
at Chambers street and Park row and
direct her to car 10 the Erie ferry.
The conductor stepped his ear at
Chambers street and motioned to the
girl to get out. She promptly obeyed
and the car started away,
Half way up the block TO the bridge
the conductor discovered grip on the
floor of the car about where the girl
had been sitting. lie pulled the bell
strap, grabbed the grip and ran back
with it TO the corner of Chambers
street, where the little German maid
was standing, looking very much be
wildered.
Her bewilderment was considerably

the grip dL uSE anu DduS lcI ldAt 1b
She shook her head vigorously, which
only increased the conductors impa-

her hands and ran back to his car,
which had held up about ten Third av-
eDue cars.
The little greenhorn didn't want to
take it," said the conductor to pas
kenger on the rear platform.
Maybe at wasn't hers" suggested
the passenger.
"Oh, yes it was" responded the con-
Guctor, as he pulled the strap to go
ahead. "She's just thick and didn't UNI
derstand."
AS the car started ahead, a short,
stout man, badly ont of breath from
running, leaped on the step. For
second he was too excited to speak.
The conductor noticed that he was a
passenger who had left the car at
Chatham square.

vitality of the centipede.

The sight of full-grown centipede
is said by travellers in tropical lands to
be enough to affect the strongest
nerves. Ten to eleven inches is the
average length, although larger ones
have been seen. Lafcadio Hearn, in
1.-TWO Years in the French West In
dies" says that the vitality of the
centipede is amazing. He kept one
in a bottle, without food or water, for
10 weeks, at the end of which time it
remained as active and dangerous as
ever. The hen attacks the centipede
with delight, and often swallows him
head first. without taking the trouble
to kill him. The cat hunts him, but is
careful never to put her head near him.
She has trick Of whirling him round
upon the floor so quickly as to stupefy
him; then when she sees good
chance, she strikes him dead with her
claws. If you kill centipede you are
sure to receive money soon. and even
if you dream of killing one it is good
luck-at least, so local tradition says.
