A Near Calamity.

Little Mary was being initiated into
the wonders of the Pullman car. She
and her mother left the city early In
the evening, each occupying big cush-
toned seat in the car. Mary wished
TO know at once where they were to
sleep, and after five minutes explana-
ton by her mother she realized that
they were to sleep in bed, made over
their two seats, which would be COM
pleted by the porter about nine o'clock.
At the next stop man entered the
car and Mary was forced to give up
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth, which she
did not know. The giving up of the
seat was for time enough food for
thought, but she finally burst out with
this question:
Mamma, If we sleep here, and all
those other people sleep where they
are sitting, where is that man going
to Sleep"
"That man." and the rest in the car
laughed. The explanation process be-
gan all over again.

Rat Deadly Disease Carrier.

The Spanish war developed the fact
that the mosquito was the carrier of
yellow fever, writes Il. w. Nelson In
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another type Of mosquito is known
to be the carrier of malaria. The Eu-
ropean war has brought to almost uni
versal public knowledge the fact that
body lice are carriers of the deadly
typhus and many diseases are known
to be carried by other insects.
Among these deadly carriers of
death and destruction none equals the
house rat In its tremendous drain on
the prosperity Of nations by its de-
struction of food and other property,
while at the shine time 1t is the dead
Hest of all to mankind as q disease
carrier. Within historic times 1t has
caused the death of untold millions
of human beings through its dissent

Men of observation-disclosures,

If man is going TO commit crime
during his lifetime, the chances are
that he will do 1t at the age of TWEEN
ty-nlne. It is a curious fact that sta
tistics have shown that man is more
dangerous at this period Of his life
than at any other.
The general supposition is that men
have attained the highest development
OF their mental and physical powers at
twenty-nlne, and they are supposed to
be able to distinguish between right
and wrong and to realize the conse-
quences liable to follow the indulgence
of either.
Next to the age Of Twenty-Five. the
greatest number of criminals have
been aged twenty-one, twenty-seven or
forty-five years.

The Worst Way.

Back in the dark ages, when the
management of the Erie railroad was
not all that 1t should have been--the
rolling stock needing more oil and the
common stock less water--a west
bound passenger train jolted into Corn
ing one day two hours behind time and
halted to patch up the engine and
take on such passengers as were In
no hurry and preferred waiting to
walking.
Just as the train was about to jerk
itself In motion an excited individual
came rushing along the platform, drag
cling heavy carpetbag with one hand
and waving telegram with the other
"You must waitl" he shouted,
breathlessly. I'm in an awful hurry
l want to get to Buffalo the worst
way"
"All right" sang out the conductor
of the starting train. Hurry up and

The Chautauqua.

San Jose, Cal, Mercury: What
we must learn is that the Chautau-
qua is an educative influence in the
land, that those who constitute it
are men and women of capability,
and that to hear them is to add to
ones store of information and to
brush up ones ideals and ambitions.
The moving picture canvas presents
every form of human delinquency as
we'll as human virtues, and films
have mighty influence for good or
i'll on those who see them. But as
an entertainment the films are OBJ
viously inferior to the Chautauqua,
since the latter presents only picked
talent with established reputation
and the power to appeal to those who
patronize it. The average Chautau-
qua program has many notable
names conspicuous in intellectual
spheres, and 1t would be pity If we
failed to manifest the appreciation
not only of them but Of those OF our
citizens whose public spirit enables
us to share in the feast. At least
our educational institutions, upon
which we depend for our standing in
the world, should be well represent
ed, since it is eventful in the young
life of the student to come in con-
tact with men and women whose
names are household words and
whose achievements in some in
stances have become historically
noteworthy.
