 The fact that the passenger earn tnRs decreased in the face of an ad- vance of 19 per cent. in the number of na ssangers carried Is considered by of- Aciais of the road as one or the best nossibIe illustrations of the effect on the railroads of the 2-cents-a-Tnile fare laws passed by many of the Western states about a year ago. They say that the Alton fguFes are particularly ex- nreEaive. nasmuch as the road operates entirely in 3-cent fare territory, in H. iinois and Missouri, In which the low fare laws have been tR eneet through out the fiscal year

 Devoted te Mousse Breeding.
 The National Mouse Club of London puts out what is stated to be the only organ in the world devoted to mousse breeding. In this sheet Is to be found mass of curious information concerning our friend the mouse: and no effort is spared to afford the read CTS with up-to-date news touching the sales of valuable mice. with prices, etc. together with accounts of the latest mice shows everywhere. It Is not to be supposed that "The National Mouse Journal" will ever afaliate with The Cat Journal" of the same city,
 London is also the home of The Money Lenders Gazette" the title of which sufficiently indicates its raison d'etre. Similar publications are to De had in Vienna, Paris and Rotterdam.
 Publications. obviously not of par ticularly cheerful nature. are 'The Un- dertakers Journal" and ''The Hang mans Record" both published in the sign a reason for the latter, but as it ls of respectable age, there must. of course, be c demand for the grim sort of news is dispenses.
 Written By Lunatic.
 "The New Moon." most appropriately named, Ia 8 paper published in the United States by Q certain institution for the insane. If any one supposes that it's columns are devoid of interest for a sane, individual, then he is much mistaken, for contributions from the pens of inmates of the asylum fire. quently evince literary ability of no mean order.
 In the matter of mere utility. the palm must be awarded a newspaper pub lished in a fishing town of Norway This journal points with pride to the fact that 1t Is printed upon paper of so tough a quality. when read. It may be cut Into strips and twisted Into a most serviceable rope, which is no small inducetnent when the calling of the villagers Is taken into considera- ton.
 An odd periodical in this country Is 'fThe Walters Friend" which presents the unique appearance of being print ed in five languages-English. French German. Italian and Swedish-arranged in alternate columns.
 Printed on Wall Paper. Another product of American ingen- uity in the way of freak papers is one published In a Southern city in the interest of paperhangers. This odd organ is of excellent typographical appearance. but the paper whereon 1t | is printed is no other than wall paper. or rather the cuttings remaining of wall paper used for the usual purpose. Trade pride, presumably. is to be as- [ signed as the reason for this strange notion.
 One enterprising owner in an Ohio town conceived the laudable desire to provide persons with weak eyes with a journal that would incur no injury or fatigue to tn em. This was to be done by means of green paper and white ink. The scheme was, however. unsuccessful. and the paper died an early death.
 Among other American papers of tho freak kind the following, whose titles afford a sufficient hint as to their pur- pose. there may be mentioned the fol- lowing:
 "The Divorce-Seekers' News:" How to Get a Government Oflce;" How Mother Used to Cook It," Help for Those in Hard Luck" and "The LoV. ers' Friend"

 The beggars of London, too have their organ but 1t Is not of so "high class a nature as the Parisian pubh- cation.

It is unique in that 1t is written not printed by a ,nimeograph the paper employed being the coarse brown va riety commonly used by butchers and grocers in which to wrap their wares.
 There are lots of other papers for beggars published in various foreign countries, and in the United states. too, but the French and English sheets are remarkable by reason of their enormous subscription lists and for the unquestionabie influence they sex- ert.

 The first of the old sheets devoted to the interests" of engaged couples appeared a few years ago in Paris ana while at first thought 1t might be sup oosed that It's field would be quite lim- tied, it nevertheless prospers. Agents in the service of this Journal are em- ployed at various points in France col- lectinr items of interest to folks who have contracted to marry. In each issue there are set forth in the paper the names, addresses and other inIoE- nation concerning engaged couples. Each maiden mentioned receives free subscription for limited period. The real beneficiaries of this publication are the tradesmen taking the paper. tnasmuch as they are able to approach the girl intending to marry with more or less alluring inducements in the way of materials for trosseAux. etc
 There are one or two periodicals of this nature published in this country. the principal one being put out from A town in the Middle West, and their policy diners little from that of the French paper.
 A Journal for Bachelors.
 Against the papers for the engaged there may be cited, as an offset, a journal for bachelors, printed in the united States. This periodical was the idea of members of 8 bachelors club in an Eastern city, and its columns are given over to articles from the pens of gentlemen fond of argument in sup port of the blessedness of The Single fife" which is, in fact. the name of the paper. A standing caption in this paper is a quotation from Rudyard Kipling, who. as a bachelor. declared that che travels fastest who travels alone."

of that kind was extremely light. There

a sprinkling of westerns, but the most OF

quite a little higher than yesterday.
