"frieiuia."
There was a fourth gentleman whom h?
knew, but by no meaiiH intimately, who
wan a friend of the other t hree.
One of the three friemlH wax tall, hand
Mime, athletic, bad laiiKuixhiiiK eyes, a
long nuiNtache and a tine figure: one wan
clever, almost brilliant, and what witue
women rail "Intellectual;" the thirl wn

All these were conniileri-d gcMl catchel

After a m-unoii in which the young lady
bad U'en greatly and generally admired,
t-arli of the three friends, having olmervetl
the growing mt.'iihinent of the other two,
diHcnvered that he was in love with her.
a-Hch teased the ot hern about her to sound
them, each denied the charge, hated tlir
withers warmly for the time, and each de
cided to get ahead of bin friends.
All three made the fourth gentleman hU
coulUlant.
The society beau was the first to decdarr
himself. He had bad the best opportum
ties, had danced with the lady all winter
had the fiixst figure, had been the best
dressed man in the set, had driven a good
team and had talked easily of Urowuing'i
ijoerns and of Kipling s stories.
The occasion which presented itself tc
him was auspicious. It wan a spring after
lioou in the grounds of a beautiful count rj
place, where an entertainment was beiiifr
Itiven by a mutual friend. Tlie spot war
secluded; the air was balmy; the flower
were daz.ling; the birds sang.
He was arrayed faultlessly, and he and
the lady were alone. He naturally liegan
to talk love to her and was alsmt to reach
the point where his voice should grow deer
and his look intense. They wereatthe end
of a long flower bed blue with pansies,
which Just matched her eyes. He stoojied
and plucked one. As he rose she said:
"A race to the other end you that side, I
this, and dashed oil.
She ran like a deer. He hail a record ami
could easily have beaten her, but as the
approached the other end he saw that hei
path divided there. One fork ran off from
him; the other turned into his.
It flashed on him in a second. He would
let her run Into his arms He waited to let
tier choose. Shu chose, and when they re
turned to the house he had her answer. He
resolved to say nothing of it.
Just afterward the second gentleruat
found his opportunity. It was after the in
tellectual entertainment. He had easily
outshone all others. He took her into the
library. Old book were about them; beau
tiful pictures were on the walls; the light

He felt his intellect strong within him
lie approached her skillfully; he hinted at
the delights of the uniou of two minds per
fectly attuned; he illustrated aptly by a
reference to the harmony just heard and to
uumerous instances in literature.
He talked of the charm of culture; spoke
confidently of his preferment; suggest ed
without appearing to do so, his fortunati
advantages over others and referred with
Mime contempt tcommonplace men like
the fourth gentleman.
Her eyes kindled; her form trembled. He
felt his influence over her. He repeated n
IHjVUi he had written her. It was good
enough to ha been published in a maga

He glanced up, caught her ryes mid held

her hand, looked into his eves, and Le had

CATCHING AN L.aCTRIC CAR.
KM So Easy It smi When It Is Going
a Mile Minute. (
Ttwre is oiie elderly Kentleinan in
Boston wuo will think a loii time
before Le auin bourda un electric
cur while it id in motion.
He was standing on Trcmont
BtrtM't with a nervous glitter in Lin
eye that showed that ho was in a
Lurry to gt somewhere. Car after
car whizzed by, but they did not
feeni to suit the old gentleman's fan
cy, and his glances up the street bt'
came more frequent und more upi
jdectic.
At hist one apjieared in the dis
tance that caused the watcher s eyes
to brighten. It was a very hand
some car, with a broad green belt
and a yellow diihher. True, it was
bounding along at a rate of fid nii'.fs
un hour; but what of tiiatf The old
gentleman was in a hurry, and then
ho knew how to get on easy enough.
He hail seen lot.soi jm'ojmV do it. All
you had to uo was to wait until the
middle of the car w;is opimsiix to
you, and then stretch out one hand
and one foot, iriw i the rail, and
there you were. Nothing could lie
simpler.
The electric car camo bounding
playfully along, and the elderly gen
tleman shifted his weight on to one
foot so as to lie ready for it. When
he was opposite to the middle of the
green licit, he leaned a little forward,
stretched out one hand and grasped
the rail us it flew past. Either he
hadn't ascertained correctly how the
thing was done or else he was a tri
fle slow with the other foot, At any
rate he didn't Imunl the car.
There was a terrific jerk, und the
old gentleman found himself stream
ing horizontally liehind tha car like
a iK-nnunt on a masthead. After he
had flown for several blwks in this
manner, the elderly gentleman con
cluded that his tsisition was ridicu
lous for one of his age, and with a
short mental prayer he let go the
rail. Before he landed he turned
live double somersault and a very
dillicult handspring, beside knocking
down three inoffensive passersby.
W hen he bad lieen restored to con
sciousness, and his hat and glasses
had lieeu fished out of the snow by
some kindly souls, he sent one mean
ing glance in the direction of the re
treating car.
"Some jKHiple may call this civili
zution." he said bitterly, "but I call
it h ."
And disdaining the sympathy of
his rescuers he jammed his snow
covered hat over his eves and tot
tered feebly in the direction of the
rurker House. Boston Herald.
Was Tills Inatluct?
One day while busy writing 1
heard Carlo in the dining room ask
itig to go out. The outside doors were
open, and I said, "Yes, Carlo may
go !" and returned to my desk. Soon
lie related his request, and I rose
saying, "Now, you must go, and not
kither nie so!" but he lay quietly,
though anxiously, hi the middle of
the iloor.' Going to him, I found he
bad my canary lictween his front
feet, not a feather injured, but wait
ing for mo to release it in safety.
The cage had accidentally Wn left
oja-n. and finding the bird free, will;
these outside dt sirs of the room open,

the doors were ojh'H. when if closed

The practice of saying "God bless

said by a Londoirphysieiau that one
is nearer deatli at the actual moment
of sneezing than at any other U'riod
of one's life. Herein perhaps lies the
reason for the kindly wish and may
account for the prevalent idea that it

OVERCROWDED NEW YORK.
The Trinut IHatrlrta Compared With j
Those of Other title.
A rec:nt census reiort shows that
there are M.000 houses in New York,
occupied by a number of families so
great as to imply thut there are I
nearly four families ft.bi) for every
house in the inetrojiolis. When it is
tccalled that there are thousands of
beautiful homes in New York occu
pied eat h by oue family only, that
miles of avenues and streets are
lined with houses each individually
owned ami occupied by oue family
group, it will be realized to what ex
tent in other jKrts of the city crowd
ing occurs, when to accomodate an
average of nearly four families to
each Iwuse the remaining houses
only are available.
Commring the condition of New
York with Philadelphia the difference
is most marked. In Philadelphia the
average number of families to each
house is one family and one-tenth,
as against three families and over
three-quarters in New York for each
house. In New York the average
for each house is 19 people, while in
Philadelphia the average is not 6
people per house. The death rate
tells the rest. Iu New York it is 28
in every 1,000, in Philadelphia 22 per
1,000. While New York has 1!) peo
ple to each house, Loudon has only
7, with a death rate 3 jer cent lower
than New York.
The extent of the crowding in New
York is mule painf ully apparent by
the statemeut of the national census,
which shows that out of a popula
tion of l,(iU0.(Hi(J no less a number
than 1,200,000 live in apartments,
flats and tenements. Still further is
this confirmed by the sanitary cen
sus made by the police in which it
w;is found that there were herded in
what the board of health designates
as the "tenement district" no less
than 270,000 families. This number,
excet-diug a quarter of a million fam
ilies. averaging five persons to each,
is so great us to excite surprise that
such a condition can exist in the
chief city of the new world, where
conditions of civilization, as illus
hated by the character and numlier
of homes, ought to have their most
perfect exemplification. But the
facts as presented in official reports,
in the death rate and in the person
al observations of men and women
who take a deep interest in the con
dition of human kind in the metrop
olis, show a condition of density full
of danger, in which the indications
toward improvements are few and

An electrical writer has calculated
that the firing of a small pistol sets

while a watch consumes alout one
one-fifty-four-milhonth of a horse
power, the energy of the bullet lieing
sufficient to keep the time for two
years. An Edison telephone trans

would therefore be worked for 2.000

In England and in many parts of

time lieen using for a horseshoe a
regular furiosity made of com
pressed leather. At the factory
where they are made three thick
nesses of common cowskin are
pressi-d into a steel mold, r.nd
while held in iosition by powerful
clamps are subjected to a bath of
some chemical preparation which
makes them surprisingly hard and
durable. It is claimed for these
shoes that they are much lighter and
last longer than those made of iron,
also that split hoofs are unknown in
horses constantly provided with
them. The shoe is perfectly smooth
on the bottom, uo calks iK'ing re
quired the impact causing the bur-
face to adhere even on the smoothest
ice. Although, as aliove stated, the
shoo is hard and durable, it is also
very elastic, thus preventing sprains
and braises and making the horse's
step lighter and surer. Straw treat
ed with a solution unknown to
American and European chemists
has been used for horseshoes for
centuries in Japan. Perhajs some
