Peoplo who rode dow n town In a certain
elentrio car on Washington avenua the
Other day are inclined to think that they
received o liberal return for their invest
ment of a nickel apiece. In addition to
being carried, aafaly and expeditiously, to
tbeir destination, they were given an op
portunity of becoming acquainted with
the bravest young man In oil tit Louis.
That, at all cvento,.l* thought in which
they regard him.
Ho woa n good looking, stylishly dresaed,
boyish young fellow, and next to him sat
a shabby woman bolding In her lapa whin
ing, unattractif e baby. Something about
the young man'a appearance seemed to
please the baby, and it stoppeffiwblnlng
long enough to smile brightly and extend
It* arms toward him. Tho young man
blushed furiously, and two or threo girl*
on an opposite scat tittered, which made
tho young man blush still morn. Ho
edged away as far a* possible and tried,
with Indifferent success, to look unoon-
cernod. When tho baby renewed Us ad
vances, bo refused to respond to them, and
tbo mother, annoyed and embarrassed,
made an effort to distract Its attention.
But the baby was not to be pat off. It
liked tbat young man and wanted to oee
moro of him. When It became evident
that there was a combination to prevent It
doing so, tho llttlo one fell' bock upon
childhood's last resort and cried lustily.
Vainly the mother tried to sooth her.
Whispered assurances that “she was a
good girl" bad no effort. Endearing
epithets made her cry moro londly. She
had eyes and ears only for a very badly
"rattled” young man, who did not seem
to return her affection. Sho crlcdas If her
heart were breaking.
And thon the young man roso to tha oc
casion. Calmly Ignoring the broadening
smiles of a car full of passengors, lie took
tho child from its mother, rocked It a mo
ment In his strong arms, then walked for
ward and sat down. Instantly tho baby’s
wall gave way to laughter. Her towzled
little head was laid upon her now 1 rlond’s
shoulder, her arm was about his neck, and
not onco again until Broadway was
reached did she utter a sound, save in
glee. The mother didn't qulto know what
to make of It. Neither did the young man
himsolf, lor that matter, and, as for the
girls who had tittered, why, It was entire
ly beyond their comprehension.
And the strangest part of the story U
tbat the young man looked like a Judo.
One of the girls; however, explained that
as she left tbo car.
"Of courso ho can’t really bo a dudo,"
she said to her companions, “because lie
has lots of senso and a great big heart. He
just dresses liko a dudo to deceive people.
I wonder why lie does It!”—St Louis Re

Railroad Men Mast-liars Good Watches.
Tho matter of tlmo Is receiving more at
tention now from railroad officials than in
tho past. This refers to watchos carried
by various employees, such ns depot mas-
tors, engineers,lltomon, switchmen, brake-
men, cahductors—In fact, overybody who
has anything to do with tho moving of
trains. Up to qulto recently it wns a go
as you please matter about the class of
watch carried nnd tbo condition of Its ma
chinery. It has been found that delays
and oven accidents linve often been mndo
possible by a small difference between tho
tlino indicated on tho watches of different
trainmen, and to remedy t' s several
roads lmvo adopted a system r,i strict su
pervision over all tiro watches carried by
employees. Tho Michigan Central n short
tlmo ugo got In Uno with tho movement.
No spoolnl make of watch Is mndo compul
sory, but nil must be up to a certain stand
ard. Every raomh each employco must
submit his watch to an examiner, who
makes careful note cf Its condition and
fills out a card giving full particulars.
These cards aro deposited nt tho depot In
n box and are all examined by an official
of tho road. In this way tha watches of
all employees aro kept in proper shape,
and nobody is permitted to carry ono that

On tho battlefield a general must some
times think quickly and act without hesi
tation. A motorraan recently showed him
self to bo gllted with these admirable
traits.
In Plainfield, N. J., an elcctrio car was
dashing along when tho motorraan saw n
child balancing Itself on a high window
Mrs. Tho man saw at once that tho
child would fall on a pile of bricks. Giv
ing tho brake a sudden turn and twisting
off tho current, he sprang from the plat
form before tho car stopped nnd reached
tho sidewalk Jest In time to catch the
baby.
Probably nothing will over sound sweet
er to him than tho thanks of tho child’s
mother and tha hearty praise bestowed on
him by tho occupants ot the car.—Youth’s

An Instrument Which Reveals the Inner
most Recesses of the Living Rye.
To tho oculist Professor von Holmholtz
gnro tho ophthalmoscope, and thus mado
It possiblo to Investigate tho conditions of
tho inmost recesses of tho living eye. If
the eye be Illuminated, a portion of tho
light returns from the hinder surface, Is
brought to n focus by tho lqpscs of the
cyo Itself and formsan Imago of tbo retina
In tho oztcrnal space. To soe this was no
easy matter. If tho patient’s cyo were fq :
cused on n luminous object, tho Imago
would coincide with tho sourco of light,
nnd ovon It othorwlso vlslblo would bo lost
In the glare. If ho looked clsowbore, tho
lmngo would move, but Inasmuch as tho
lensos cannot bo adjusted to tho clear vi
sion ot any objoct nearer than about ten
Inches tbat is the minimum dlstanoe from
tbo eyo at which it can form tbo Image of
Its own retina. To soe this dearly an ob-
server without appliances must place him
self at least ton Inches from the Imago—
that Is, at SO Inches from thn patlont. At
that dlstanco tho view would bo so limited
tbat no result could be obtained.
Von Helmholtz,howover,convinced him
self that If tlicsodifficulties could boover-
oomo tho Imago of a brightly Illuminated
retina could bo Been. IIo made tho obser
vations through a small hole in tho center
of a mirror, which rcllcctcd light Into tho
eye undor examination. Then by means
of a Ions be sbifted tho position of tbo im
ago backward until tho relative positions
ot tho obacrVor and tho patient were such
that, according to calculation, tbe retina
should bo vlslblo.
Again nnd again ho tried and failed, bnt
was convinced of tho validity of tbe theory,
nnd at last tho experiment succeeded.
From that tlmo tha oculist has been able
to look into tho dnrknosa of tho pupil and
to ace through tbo gloom' tho point of en
try ot tho optlo nervoand tho dollcato net
work of blood vessels by which It Is sup
rounded.—Fortnightly Review.
Dogs and Consumption.
One of the questions discussed before
tho Paris Academy of Medicine was,
Should consumptives and other persons bo
encouraged to keep dogs? Dr. Mognin,
formerly a veterinary surgeon In the army,
lent tn a paper to show they should not.
Tho dog Is just as liable os his master to
he Infected by tuberculosis nnd to spread
It. Dr. Mognin had under his care many
canine consumptives. They were ot tho
lapdog species, and It Is said caught the
j malady from their masters or mistresses.
1 Dogs, said Dr. Megnlq, were liable to
many sorts of septlctomla and to scurvy.
The dog, so toaobable, was not given any
education of tho palate, but was allowed
to cat Infectious garbage and nameless
filth. This alone would account for Its
liability to rablos. The dog, by intelligent
care In Its breeding, oducatlon and hy
giene, might bo mado tho paragon of four
footed beings and the worthy Jriond and
auxiliary of Intelligent human being*.
Dogs reflected the moral qaalltlos and tho
vloca of tholr masters. Wherever manners
were mild dogs ceased to be ferocious. In
conclusion, tbo author of tho paper pro
posed the foundation of a chair for canlna
anatomy and diseases—London News '

A certain esteemed clergyman whoso

must remain nameless, was fooling a llt
tlo "pardonablo pride" In having succeed
ed, after years of soliciting, In raising
enough money to provide his church with
a set of chimes.
As overy ono took tho first occasion to
congratulate him It was qulto natural that
on meeting Mrs. Blunt, ono of his most
fashionable parishioners, bo ahonld say
In his happy enthusiasm: “And how do
? >a like tbe new chimes, Mrs. Blunt!
on must be glad to hoar those good old
hymns at night. They most remind
you”—
