The man on the downtown car was
holding on by a strap next to a tailor
whom he happened to know, and be-
tween begging pardons and granting
them to his neighbor, he was trying to
read a few paragraphs in his paper.
One of them, says the Brooklyn Eagle,
told of q discovery by a Nippur ex
petition of the University of Pennsyl-
vania-a well-preserved and thorough
ly authenticated tailor's bill nearly
FIVE thousand years old.
Since the man who was holding on
to the next strap Is himself engaged
in the clothing business, the man with
the newspaper thought the item would
interest him, so he read it aloud to
him; but the story left the listener
with a blank look on his face.
Don't you understand" said the
other. impatiently. "It's a tailor's bill
almost five thousand years Old"
WELL" said the tailor, without TX
element. what is it good for? They

Since 1888 the number of railroad
accidents at crossings At grade has
fallen of.25 per cent though the yol-
ume Of railroad travel In. the United
States has largely increased and the
number OF trains Is much greater.
This decrease Is due largely to the
Legislation. in which New York was
the pioneer. for the abolition Of all
grade crossings, says the New York
sun. The Anti-Grade Crossing law OF
New York, adopted IN 1897, provided
that steam surface roads thereafter
/ built must be constructed 10 avoid all
crossings at grade. New streets. ay-
enues or highways, when carried
across the tracks Of existing steam
roads, must be either above or below
grade. and the extra cost Of such con
struction is to be paid half by the.
municipality and half by the road
crossed. Where existing crossings are
changed upon the application Of the
municipal authorities or Of a railroad
company the expense Of such change IS
to be paid as Follows: One-half By the
railroad company, iione-quarter by the
state and one-quarter by the municipal
authorities. All street surface rail-
roads hereafter constructed in New
York across a steam railroad shall be
either above or below its grade. The
legislature is authorized to appropri-
ate not less than 100000 annually To
defray the states share of the expense
imposed by compliance with this stat
ute. Massachusetts,, In which the
population outside of the large cities
is more dense than in New York, ap-
propriates s500,O0O year for the eiini-
nation Of grade crossings and has al
ready expended s2.5O0.O0O for this pur-
pose, ard the railroad companies in
Massachusetts, Gargely owned in New
York; have paid $4,000. 900 for the same
purpose . Under a law passed by the
Tennessee legislature in 1889, the rail-
roads are Obliged to grade road cross
ings to the level of the rails, and to
keep them in repair fof9ten feet on

Between the years 1880 and 1880
lO.O00.000 Of the 5000 900 Immigrants
who came into the United States were
natives Of Great Britain or OF Ger

Notwithstanding the prosperous condi-
ton OF American manufactures the
large .haryests and the liberal prices
for cereals and live stocks. there has
been a marked falling on in the imnl-
grafton OF farmers to the United States
and decided increase in the number
OF immigrants seeking homes in the
large cities and manufacturing towns.

ber 10000 were from Ireland. These
new immigrants seek homes and ems

It is really surprising that these fakes

Mysterious Disappearance OF Deer from

| Jones would like to meet the man
that did it, says the Detreit Free
Press. He says that If the party who
took the deer will disclose his identity
ne may keep the animal for his trou-
pie. But It is not likely the guilty
wretch will come forward, as he dis
likes to attract attention. Jones re-
turned from northern Michigan, where
he had been on a hunting trip. He
claims that he shot a deer while he
was there, and brought II, home with
him, At any rate, he had one with
him when he got back This much
the neighbors are willing to testify
to, as he was calekuf to hang the deer
on the back porch. where the Whole
neighborhood could not help seeing il. +.
One neighbor has been unkind enough
to insinuate that one of its legs was
broken and that there were other in
idications to prove that the deer had
been caught in a trap and clubbed to
death. Unfortunately this point must
always remain in doubt unless the
guilty pefsoh comes forward and adds
his testimony regarding the facts in
the caseo Jones, after seeing that the
deer was hung where the neighbors
could see it, went downtown, collected
a, party of friends and lured them up
to- the house by promising them some
Of the venison. On their way there
they were vastly entertained by hts !

some one had not only removed the
deer, but had substituted a dead calf
