THE TALK OF THE DAY.

In Prussia says THE Railway Age
Gazette" "a passenger was directed to
car where the heating apparatus was
frozen up and during the whole journey
didn't get thaWed out. He caught cold, and
brought suit for his Doctors bills. The
court decided that not only had he failed
TO prove that the illness was due TO the
lack of heat in the car, but declared that
the passenger had no claim to have the ear
heated at all, and on appeal this decision
was affirmed. This is probably a continue
ton of the legal status which existed not
so long ago on European railways, when
cars were either not heated at all or so
imperfectly that passengers were expected
to carry wraps and rugs enough re keep
themselves comfortable, as If they were
in stage coach"

Oh. Croton Water,
You smell like you hadn't oughter,
And you taste
Like alluvial waste,
And yet
You are wet
And your health, they say,
Is quite O. K.
But still. Croten Water,
You smell like you hadn't eughter,
And we think
That as a drink
You lack Z sight
OF being a nectarious delight
We understand
That you are getting close TO the land
And that a soaking hard, long rain
Is what will make you right again;
And furthermore
we are praying for it to pour,
And maybe now any day
1t will come your way
And once more like crystal you will shine
A rarer vintage than the wine
That gods Olympian quaff TO rise
To leftier SUBMITS in the skies,
And-howeVer, Croton Water,
Just now yeu smell like you hadn't
oughtet.
