CANE SEATS FOR RAILROAD
 CARS. &~ssr s

The plush seat is the central evil which the Kentucky board is attacking It has been placed under state ban, and the board purposes to i1ldict every rail- road official it can reach in the state who can by any possibility be held re- sponsible for operating cars with such seat, coverings. Either leather or cane is permitted as a substitute. The re- quirement extends both to sleepers and day coaches.
 There is no question but that the; plush seat is one of the finest recepta- cles for filth that could be devised. The dust that blows in through the open car window is caught and held fast, and if any disease germs are in the air, they are pretty sure to find camping-olit place on the plush until human victim comes along. .&at.
 Leather seats are not open to any such sanitary objection, but they are hot and often uncomfortable, and not at all to be compared for downright ease with the cane seats, which are usually set aside for day coaches, tourist sIeep- CTS, and the least pretentious cars. An other good seat covering is of linen. which can be taken off and cleaned at frequent intervals. Chicago Record.

WOLF HUNTING IN ENGLAND.

7 3sA E 4j44gF
 Tn the wild country to the west of Northumberland hundreds of the in. habitants continue to follow the track Of the wolf which during the last few days has laid the focks of the farmers under heavy tribute by staying their sheep.
 TWO months ago a wolf escaped from a private collection at Shotley Bridge, twelve miles from Newcastle, and all trace of it was lost until about three weeks ago, when sheep worrying be- gan in the Allendale district.
 Raids have been organized. and the wolf has been chased over miles of the snow covered fells by men armed with guns and various weapons, but without result. Some of the pursuers are said to have got within range of the animal with their guns, yet the disturber of rural peace has managed to escape. In many a lonely homestead it is a source of dread to the inmates, whose irnag aginations run riot over the wolf as. they listen to or retail the latest news concerning it's whereabouts.
 On Saturday a supreme effort was made to bring him down, but he never allowed himself to get within range of his pursuers rifles. He was finally chased by horsemen over the snow covered naoors by way of West Burn hope. and when night fell he had reached Dukesield, a dense, wild wood, covering an area of not less than seven hundred acres within the solitude of. which he doubtless spent the night S<@ W
 Intense excitement prevails in the. district, and farmers are keenly anx- ious to see the end of their unwelcome guest. Mail. +l9s X
