A Curious Word.

The word "benjamin'' is significant example of the influence of custom on the English language. According to the Reverend E. Gotham Brewer, the noted English philologist, the word signifies "a smart overcote, so called from a tailor of the name, and rendered popular by its association with Joseph's coat of many colors." Peacock, the English humorist, In his ''Melncourt," says Sir Telegraph proceeded to peel. and emerge from his four benjamins, like a butterfly from its chrysalis;" and elsewhere, referring to a different character. writes, His heart Is seen to beat through his upper benja- min" Lockhart, in his Life of Scott" speaks of "a vastly scientific and rather grave professor in a smooth drab ben jamin." George Aade, of. Fables in Slang fame. garbs his hero in a fawn- colored benjamin.
 Though the word is used by writers in humorous sense, as a matter of fact, since Alfred Benjamin & Co.,, the we'll known New York manufacturers, have been advertising their line garments. GUS tom has not only brought the meaning back to its original definition, but has also caused 1t to apply to mems clothes in general This ist certainly a remark, able illustration of the effect of whole. some popularity. .... ,.,..

New Route to Mexico.

Photographic news has just been received by H. w. Nathan, Commercial Agent in New Orleans of the National Railroad Company of Mexico. advising of the com pletion of the standard gauge of that line from Laredo to the City of Mexico. The first through train was operated Sunday. It was a large engineering feat to un- dertake this work, which has been in course of construction for more than a year, and the announcement of its com pletion, marks an important epoch in the transportation world of Mexico, and will prove a great attraction to tourists, who habitualiy winter in that delightful eli mate.
 One of the results of this improvement and which will contribute greatly to the general comfort. is the fact that this route Is over 300 miles the shortest line to Mexico City, and additional beautiful scenery has been opened to view in the construction of its new line via Gonzales Junction, through Quartaro, on the line of which 1t has been found necessary to build a bridge of 1,5OO feet in length, | spanning the chasm of the mountains and | crossing the Tula River at a height of | 25O feet above that stream. This Is one of the longest bridges in Mexico.
 The line has been relaid with new sev- enty-pound steel rails equipped with steel pilueeS, on masonry approaches, and the whole line heavily ballasted, to accom- modate the latest and most modern extra
 heavy motive power and commodious and elegant new passenger equipment, enab- | ling it to make the fastest schedules.
 MT. Nathan believes that this will be much appreciated by tourists and travel CTS generally in. Mexico. and reports that very large number of people are ex- pected to patronize the Laredo Route
 this season, especially since the compIe- | tion of the Standard Guage.

that the memory of it will never fade from her recollection.
 During one long night she was .besieged by hideous tarantulas, whose bite is death. They crawied and wriggled all about her. They were on her face and arms. and when she tried to escape from the room they were under her feet and forced her to retreat again to the bed. She was stopping at the home of some friends in Los Angeles on the night of her arrival. She was awakened in the middle of the night by some bristling, fuzzy thing crawling over her face. She struck the object. away. She dropped her hand and 1t fell on some other hairy, wriggling object. She was badly frigh- tened and stepped from the bed. and her bare foot fell upon some coarse. wriggling creature. and another one brushed against her ankles.
 wing of the house removed from the parts of the mansion where the other members of the household and the servants slept and no one came to her aid
 She plunged back into, bed her face as 1t touched the pillow came in contact with another of the mysterious visitors that had so alarmed her. She pulled the bed clothes about her, but the night was warm, and she was forced to throw them off, and then the horrible, wriggling hairy disturbers of her sleep swarmed over her. All night she sat screaming and trembling and striking at the mys- terious objects that assailed her. When morning came the family heard cries and rushed to her room, to discover that she was besieged by tarantulas. The loath- some creatures were crawling all over the bed and about the room. Miss Hitch cocks host secured a cane and killed all of the tarantulas and then the young wo man promptly tainted and was i'll for several days before she finally recovered from her fright.
 The explanation of how the tarantulas came to be in Miss Hitchcock's room could not be secured at first. The case was A great mystery until a small boy in the family was observed to be in some distress. He was taken into the lnquisi- tion and his father interviewed him at some length. Then the mystery was solved. The small boy had secured the tarantulas in vacant field. A curio firm in Los Angeles who kill and mount the insects pay a royalty of cents apiece for them, and the boys of the town go out into the fields and catch them with pincers.
 The boy in the family where Miss Hitch cock was stopping had rounded up forty or fifty of the insects. He put them I in a big basket and took them home. | Rightly conjecturing that his family | would raise a protest against their home
 being made a penitentiary for tarantulas,
 the small boy had hidden his basket in
 Miss Hitchcock's room, not knowing 1t
 was going to be occupied. The taran-
 tulas during the night had tunneled their
 way to freedom, but not being able to escape from the room had turned their
 attention to assaulting Miss Hitchcock. 1 The vigorous discipline applied to the
 small boy by his father when the facts
 in the case came out caused him to loathe | tarantulas with a deep and deadly loath- ing, and. now when they are even men,
 toned in his presence he grows sad and l hastily slides for the outer air.

The Best Remedy for croun

From the Atchson, Kan, Daily Globe
 This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup Is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night 0y whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There ASed to be an old-fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but Some modern mothers say that Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to throw up the phlegm' quicker, and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough ap- pears. and 1t &ill prevent the attack. It neV CT fans and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists. adv.

TRANSFER IN SELMA
RAILROAD PASSENGERS MUST
 GO ACROSS TOWN,
Two Full Days to Make Trip From Montgomery to Canebrake Sec tion-Railroad Officials En
 Route to New Orleans.

In short time passengers from Mont gomery to Demopolis, Greensboro and other points in the Canebrake section of Alabama, will have to transfer across town in Selma.
 For many years the Western Railroad and Southern Railway have been using the same depot in Selma, and while a passenger from Montgomery had wait of several hours in Selma, still it was not necessary to stir out of the depot unless the passenger preferred. In few weeks this will be changed. As soon as the Western cutoff Is completed its trains will go into Selma over the new Louisville and Nashville bridge and use the joint depot built by the Louisville and Nashville and Western Railroads. This will force pas sengers to pay transfer charges from the Western-Louisville and Nashville depot to the Southern depot, and vice versa. The railroad will add to transfer charges the cost of the ticket If they pay 1t. as is the case in several other places where transfers are made.
 This question brings up the old matter of a through train from Montgomery to Greensboro, Demopolis, and other points. and the consequent advantages not only to the business men of Montgomery. but to those towns themselves. As it Is now, to go from Montgomery to Demopolis. or any of the points mentioned. a passenger leaves Montgomery in the morning. reach es Selma about noon and stays there un- til 4:30 D. m., reaching his destination about o'clock in the evening. Returning it is the same thing; leave early in the morning, reach Selma about noon. stay there until 3 or o'clock that afternoon and reach Montgomery about 6 o'clock.
 It requires. therefore. exactly two full days to make the trip, and to a business man this killing of so much valuable time Is a great hardship.
