NORTHWESTERN ABoLIsHES GUS
PIDOR.
The Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way has decided to confine the cuspi-
dor to its smoking cars. This reform
long overdue, may profitably be initial
ed by other roads. The cuspidor, that
repository of germs and probable
breeder of disease, can no longer find
a proper place in parlor and sleeping
cars. Tobacco chewing, happily on the
wane everywhere, is especially so in
those quarters With the disappear
ance of the free habits of an earlier
day should also go that convenient but
distasteful utensil which encouraged
them. The Chicago Record-Herald sug-
gests further reform in these words:
THE cuspidor should be foaowed by
the common drinking cup. If the for
mer is a probable source of disease,
the latter is a certain one. 1T is an
undoubted dissemination of tubercular
maladies. 1t has been banished by law
in Wisconsin. Roads in other states
may Vel follow the example set in
Wisconsin without waiting for legal
enactment"

An interesting novel point

An interesting novel point in law
or equity is raised through the con-
tention that throwing eggs is no Of
Tense provided the eggs are fresh.
AS a rule, overripe hen fruit is
sought and preferred by those who
pay such delicate attentions to the
objects of their dislike, though one
should think that even the freshest
smashed in an eye, or, indeed, on
any portion of the person, would
give legitimate cause for annoyance.
But if witnesses were to be called
to testify and jurors to decide the
precise degree of, freshness or of
staleness of an egg after it had been
hurled and smashed-that way mad
ness lies!

10 o'clock the street was lined with

when the town clock struck the APP

been raised and sighted perhaps ten
seconds when a crack and a puff of
blue smoke were heard and seen. The
next moment all eyes were turned to-
ward Hewson. He was seen 10 pitch
forward and fall in the street. He
was picked up dead. Miller'S bullet
had struck him between the eyes
Never did man more successfully
take time by the forelock to prevent
his enemy from killing him. The space
over which Miller sent his bullet was
measured with a. tapeline and found
to be 456 feet and 8 inches. The re-
markable features of his feat were.
first. that Gny revolver could be made
to do such accurate work at such long
range: second. that any one except a
marvellous shot could do 1t. and, third.
that any man had the nerve to ex-
pend his only shot at such a distance.
Indeed. so great was the admiration
for his coup. that secessionists and
Unionists forgot the momentous issues
of the times. crowded around Miller
and congratuiated( him.
"I asked Miller how he dared fire at
such a distance and TO what he at

BOOK LORE ON THE BURLINGTON.
That Charles W. Eliot, president en-
eritus of Harvard university, moves
on a higher plane than most of man
kind and consequently is not the
proper person to make a selection of
books for the travelling public, is the
opinion of James J. Hill.
Mr.. Hill, while in Chicago yester-
day, had few comments to make re-
garding the recent action of the Bur
lington railroad in outing President
Eliot's "fve-foot shelf of books from
the parlor cars.
President Eliot has so many years
of useful life to look back upon that
the ordinary person cannot look at him
horizontally said Mr.. Hill. He moves
in a much higher plane than most OF
mankind
Books that might appeal to Pfesi-
dent Elliot probably wouldn't cause the
average traveller to enthuse His books
require too much heavy thinking for
railroad journey. People these days
are averse TO heavy thinking.
