Time Table HumGr.

Up to the present time there has
been a somewhat straitlaced avoid
ancc of humor in the time tables and
official announcements Of railway
companies which has earned for those
compilations a certain reputation for
dulness. Something in one OF the
London and Northwestern Railways
notices gives us reason to hope that
this tradition is breaking down. II
tells us that in future only n motor
bus will run between Harrow and
Watford. The times of departure
and arrival of this lonely and friend
less thing are given, followed by this
strange saying: The company gives
notice that the motor buses shall not
start or arrive at the times specified
in the bills. "-London Daily News.

families of those up in the attics;
they all gathered round and followed,
murmuring, half-curious, half-fright-
ened, La folle! La folle!"
But the three men close to Antoin-
cite needed nothing now. Arthur
could once more hear the deep-draWn
breaths coming from her lips, and he
knew that they were drawing very
near the consummation.
The bystanders pressed behind
them; in the street below they gath
cred thickly round the door. Upward
still they went, up to the fifth floor
of the house, and there Antolnette
passed in. 1t was a garnet, mean
and bare, shorn OF every luxury, or
even necessity. In the centre of the
room, upon the ground, lay a small
portmanteau; before it, in the act of
packing, knelt, in his shirt sleeves,
a man with his head turned, furtlVe-
ly looking over his shoulder, in every
feature agonizing fear. In that
shrunken, pallid face, with livid lips
and hair glued together with cold
drops of terror, they recognized Paul
Leduc.
He sprung to his feet with a hoarse
cry, and a rapid look to right and
left, up and down, as if seeking any
where some mode of escape. But
the crowd had gathered round the
doorway; a couple Of gen d'armes,
hastily warned that something was
amiss, showed themselves among
them. But still, terrible as Nemesis
itself, Antoinette went forward under
the spell of that horrible compulsion.
Now the wand dropped from her
hands. She stood before the shrink
ing, covering wretch, and spoke.
Her voice rang out clear and wild,
with the sound of a wailing cry in its
vibration.
Paul Leduc! In you I denounce
the murderer of my father"
He glanced round him, then with
a desperate bound he leaped through
the crowd. They parted to right and
left as he flung them aside, utter
ing short painting sobs, like a wild
beast caught in a trap.
Cries and shouts, tumultuous
noises followed his mad struggle for
escape.
Arthur alone Joined not in the pur-
suit. To him the result was nothing.
All were gone; he was alone with
Antoinette.
All the force, the power Of super
natural strength had left her. She
stood there once more, a gentle, ter
ror-stricken girl. She held out her
hands to him with an imploring ges-
ture. In her own natural tone she
uttered a faint cry, Arthur! Ar
thur"
Then he caught her as she fell,
not in the strange trance as before,
but looking, indeed, as if this were
death itself.
The roar and cries and shoutings
without grew more distant, then
ceased altogether, and he knelt still
over the senseless form of his be-
loved.

An Electric Motor Horn.

The electric horn for automobiles,
an English device, is an electric
buzzer, fitted to a common automo-
bile foot" horn. A brass cylindrical
case contains a steel vibrating dis,
held at it's periphery by two fanges
and two electromagnetic, and the
rapid vibration of the disk caused by
the magnetization and demagnetiza-
ton of the magnets yields a sound
which is magniied in volume and ef-
~fectiveness by the horn. The current
is provided by an eight-volt accumu-
lator. The signal a be maintained
as long as it is necessary or desired,
the blast being louder and more con-
tinuous than that of the ordinary
wind horn, and with the switch on
the steering wheel the driver can give
his warning without removing his
hand from the wheel.-Harper's

Deaths From Alcoholism in France.

Alcoholism in Frarce is held to be
one of the most terrible scourges of
the present day and Is also apparent
ly one of the chief causes of death.
Two years G the Academic de
Medicine invited members of the
medical societies to collect statistics
of all deaths in their wards.
NJ. Fernet has communicated "a
summary of these statistics and finds
that during the last fifteen months
among a total of over 1900 deaths
occurring in eleven different hospitals
and asylums alcohol played a part
in the cause of death in one-third Of
the cases. 1t was the principal cause
in one-tenth of the deaths and it was
the accessory u in more than
two-tenths. Alcohol showed a still
greater influence on mortality in as
yluns than in the general hospitals.
At the Aisle Saint Anne thirty out
Of 'sixty-three consecutive deaths were
among alcoholics. In asylums gener-
ally. alcohol was the cause of disease
and death in nearly half the male
cases and in one-sixth Of the female
cases.--From the Hospital.

mankind Has Dallied With Rum For
n Long Time, to the Detriment
of Civilization, But is Suddenly
Getting Wiser on the Subject.
The general movement which has
gone SO far in the South, and shows so
strong a tendency to spread over the
rest of the country, is new, curious,
and apparently important. 1t is not
the offspring of the old Prohibition
party, but an issue that takes hold
of all the parties, and carries or loses
elections for them. The explana-
tions of it are az yet not very satisfy
ing. At first it was said to be due
to the desire of the South to keep
liquor away from the negroes, but it
has outrun that explanation. it
seems to be Unconditional and hard
headed, and it is possible that it indi-
Gates a far-reaching appreciation of
the cost of the liquor saloon to the
families and industries of the coun-
try and a resolve to try to reduce that
cost as much as possible. France has
suffered such enormous damage of
late years by excessive drinking that
she has bestirred herself energetically
to restrain the bibulousness Of her
population. England has adopted nc &;
laws to the same end, and in Ger
many there are signs Of a suspicion
that there is a limit to the expediency
of beer. But this American move
ment differs from anything Of the
kind that is going on in Europe in be-
ing apparently spontaneous and pop
ular, and in it's substance not a thing
stimulated by exhortation or excite
ment, but the result of slowly ma
tured conviction based on observation
and experience. We hope it may turn
out as sane a movement as it seems
to be. Considering how long man
kind has dallied with rum. it is as
tonishing how little it has learned
about it, and how large a proportion
of the experimenters continue to daily
with it to their detriment. Maybe the
world is getting suddenly wiser on
this subject.-Harper's Weekly.

In the Light of Gods Perfection.

Once, when I vas paying paro-

woman who had just got out a line
Of clothes. I congratulated my
friend because they looked so white.
So, very much encouraged by her
pastors kind words, she asked him
to have a cup Of tea, and we sat
down. Whilst we were taking the
tea the sky clouded and there was a
snow-storm; and as l came out the
white snow lay everywhere, and ]
said to her:
Your washing does not look
quite so clean as it did
"'Ah,' she said, the washing is
right enough, but what can stand
against Gods Almighty white?"
so You may think that you are
clean. because YOU have never seen
God. When you see God. your hottest
day will seem to be imperfect: yon
will abhor yourself. and repent in
dust and ashes. and you will need
to say: Forgive me my debts as ]
forgive my debtors. '"--F. E. Meyer.
