 The cause of the habit is nearly always the same ."Gingerists" are people with weary brains and dsordered stomachs. who seek palliation of the results of overwork. They know that such drugs as morphia, chloral, cocaine and chloro- form are accumulatIve in their effect upon the human system; they know also that ginger was the homely remedy of their youth for stomachic troubles.
 It sees incredible but 1t Is a fact, that from the taking of few drops of this powerful carminative for indigestion a "gingerist" will grow into the habit of taking large doses, both as tonic, se- dative and a palliative.
 So far, inquiries show that women are as much addicted to "gingerism" as men but the actual victims are difficult tc trace, as essence of ginger is easily pur' chasable in any chemists shop by chile or a grown-up person.

 "A Man of One Idea"
 If there is any basis for the caution, Beware of the man with one idea" Thomas D. Watson is man to be feared. The warfare between Jefferson and Ham ilton he believes to be eternal.

 It was many years before the future Populist was able to turn from law to politics. The Farmers Alliance sent him to congress in 1890. He introduced the bill appropriating the first money for rural free delivery, and 1t passed despite vigorous opposition of many in both parties. He refused to caucus with eith- CT democrats or republicans, and be- come a thorn in the flesh of both sides by introducing reform bills.

From Leslie's Weekly
 Now that he has been able for few days to ride to and from his work on a railroad which cost more for its length than any other in the world and which has the cheapest fare, the New Yorker has come to look upon the new subway as a matter of course If he is going up town, homeward bound, he remarks to his companions: I'm going up the flue." Some railroads have been constructed at a cost of $15,OO0 per mile; others have cost from SSO000 up to s2OO.oO0. New Yorks underground trolley on Broadway cost s225,0OO per mile These figures afford no comparison with the expense of cons tructing the New York underground rail- road.
 When 1t is entirely in operation this road will be about twenty miles in length. Its cost will be s40,000,000. That is $2,0O0,- GOO per mile. About eight miles are now in operation. The fare Is five cents. When the remaining sections shall be opened the fare will be the same. The city of New York has paid the cost of construction, and the $40, 600, with in terest, year by year, must be repaid by the operating company. Nickel fares must do this. If the cost were represent ed by fve-cent coins, placed edge to edge, there would be 8 line more than 150 miles long.
