JUST ONE UOY'S WAY THE DRAMA THAT WA3 ENACTED ON A STREET CAR. Jk racket Exploration Tlml Held ilie I rMirof" nrrnthlrmi nnil Irovrl ; Eminent!? Satlafnctorr ta the IV r- I (latent ToiBKtlrr, i I When this smnll boy on tlit? Ninth street car went Into bin ruling after tihi car fare, the other nii.vsenirors be trayed little or no Interest In him. Ho uras an ordinary, snub nosed, frerklf faced boy of nine or ten, nnd It swined pretty safe to assume that lio bnd the nickel necessary for a rldo or ho would not have swung aboard, and so the passengers paid little or no attention to blni. The ineu, as usual, occupied themselves In pretending that they weren't looking at all at the good look ing women In the opposite seats, and the women, also as usunl, endeavored to convey the Impression that they didn't know there was such n creature as a man within a hundred miles of them. i But when this small boy bepnn to have his troubles all hands got to look ing him over. Everybody, It would ap pear, likes to sco a small boy In troublo anyhow. The boy plowed around In the lining cf the right hand pocket of his shabby little overcoat, screwing himself Into many possible attitudes as he stood and wriggled In the aisle, and Anally, after terrlflc exertion, he brought forth a penny, half burled lu a lot of woolly stult from the coat. Then ho turned bis attention to the lining or tne len band pocket of his overcont. After al most superhuman dllllcultles, In tho process of which It looked as if the boy might get himself wrapped around an Invisible axis several times In such a manner that be could never get right again, he produced another penny, also plentifully wadded In' woolen lint be longing to the overcoat A couple of elderly men who wero reading papers side by sldo at the end of the car began to get nervous. They pushed back their spectacles and stud ied tho boy's movements anxiously. "Fare, there, son!" said the conduct or. Tbo boy gazed reproachfully at tho conductor, stuck tho two found pennies In his mouth and continued his weird exertions to assemble his faro. He unbuttoned his overcoat by the simple process of giving It a yank from bottom to top, and then he dug Into the right hand pocket of his Jacket. That pocket, too. seemed to bo lining less, and the boy had to grope through It like a cat clawing for tho exit of a bag. At length be got to tho end of it, and an expression of acute relief cross ed his freckled features. The hand was wedged In so tightly that ho had about as much trouble In getting it out as ho bad had In getting It lu, but It clutched another cent when It finally made Its appearance. This went Into his mouth to join the other two. At this point tho two elderly men coughed violently and scowled at tho boy as If to say that they wished the Infernal business were dune with, but the others who were watching tho boy's moves looked syni' pathetic. The boy next began a laborious ex ploration of his right hand Knicker bocker pocket, from which ho pro duced and bestowed In his overcoat Docket many articles peculiar to boys- marbles, a piece of wax, a rusty look ing knife, two or three printed cellu loid buttons, and so on and at the very bottom of this salvage was yet another penny. AH the other passj'n irera extent the two elderly men breathed sighs of relief, but they want ed to read their papers, and yet they couldn't while this boy was engaged in bis eventful search, with tho chances about even whether he'd win out or not' "Fare now there, kid!" said the con ductor, once more tackling the boy. The boy handed him the four pennies from bis mouth after very politely rub bing them off on his overcoat sleeve, and be said, with a very boyish grin: "1 got the other one soniewheres. Walt a minute, mister." Then the boy gazed up at the celling tof the car and studied for a moment, while the other passengers except the two elderly men. who looked ferocious, rooted for blm with all their might The boy felt tentatively at bis left kantl knickerbockers pocket, but It was plain to see that he knew that was no go. For about half a minute be looked worried, and the sympathetic passen gers worried along with blm, as, could be seen by the tense expression on their faces as they regarded every movement of the boy with strained, almost feverish attention. Then the boy reached Into a back pocket of bla knickerbockers, brought forth one of those celluloid traveling soap boxes, somewhat battered, took off the lid, and there, buried In a lot of Junk, was the other cent The sigh of relief that ran around that car was distinctly audible. The sympathetic passengers, men and wo men, settled themselves back In their seats and smiled at the boy, and two or three of them looked as If they wanted to Jump up and suggest cheers. Tbo two elderly men coughed violently again, readjusted their spectacles and 1egan again on their newspapers. : Then the small boy sat down, took a neat looking change purse from the In side pocket of bis overcoat dumped the contents about $2 In quarters, nickels and dimes Into his hands and began counting It whereupon tho pas sengers who bad been rooting for blm but a moment before instantly froze and looked at blm as It they consider ed blm a bad lot and a boy bound straight for state's prison or worse.

"A person, absolutely without sloop for nine days will die," snys a writer Vn Aliislee's. "SulTen-rs from Insomnia sometimes lualntiilii Unit they have gone for weeks without sleeping, but 1 bus been proved that they do sleep without being awaro of It. At n cer tain point sleep Is tnevltable, no mut ter what the bodJJ.T condition, the nl Urnnllvo being death. Prisoners have slept on tho rack of the Inquisition. And tho Chinese found (lint only the greatest Ingenuity and vigilance eould carry out n sentence of death by sleep lehsliess. This mode of capital punish ment was long In fuvor In China nnd Is said to be so today, while as a form of torture deprivation of sleep Is consid ered one of the most ellleaclous weap ons In the Chinese Judicial arsenal. In somo such cases the prisoner Is kept In a cage too small to stand up or He down lu and constantly prodded .vlth a sharp rod. Death by starvation, also a Chinese punitive method, Is a Blower process and therefore, one would think, more calculated to appeal to the oriental mind If It were not that death by sleeplessness Is thought so much more painful. In the lat ter case the brain Is the Hist affect ed of all the organs of the body, while In case of starvation the brain longest retains Its normal weight and charac ter. "A corresponding mode of taming wild elephants Is sold to bo depriving the animals of sleep when first caught. In a few days they become compara tlvely spiritless and harmless. The brain of the elephant Is held to be more highly developed than that of any other wild auimnl, but of course as compared with a human brain can tin on sllv fattened bv new Impressions and so made very dependent on sleep, The wild elephaut in his native Jungle, however, is said to sleep very little a further point for the theory of tho unl- versa! ratio of sleep to Intelligence.

There is the almost parallel case f a German boy, Casper Hnuser, who up to the age of eighteen was kept In one room where he hail no Intercourse with human beings or sight of any natural object not even the sky. At eighteen he was brought to Nuremberg anil abandoned in the street. For tho first few months of his lifo among men he slept almost constantly nnd so soundly that it was very, hard to wake him."

"The need of eradicating contagi- ous diseases amon? came is so evi dent, and is so well understood among the cattle owners and farmers of Pennsylvania, that there are very few- attempts to conceal them," said Dr. Leonard Pearson, state veterinarian and secretary of the state live stock sanitary board, on his return from a tour of inspection of the larger dairy herds in western Pennsylvania. Since there is no provision of law," added Dr. Pearson, "for the es tablishment and maintainance of a large force of inspectors of herds, and since herds are so numerous and scat tered that it is quite out of reason to expect the state veterinarian to see all of them, it is necessary to depend largely for reports ot outbreaks of contagious diseases upon cattle own ers themselves. Such repoits are coming in every day; some days as many as ten or twelve requests for help and inspec tion are received. When these can not be attended to personally a com petent local veterinarian is employed to attend to the matter and report upon it. As a result of this work the prevalence of tuberculosis has been much reduced, glanders has Deen eradicated, anterax has been kept in check, and such diseases as rabies, hog cholera, black quarter and numer ous parasitic diseases have been greatly restricted. All of this work has been greatly facilitated and made more accurate by the aid of the bacteriologist of the board, Dr. M.' P. Ravenel. Some diseases cannot be safely diagnosed without aid of such methods as can only be applied in the laboratory. The use of such accurate methods is a great advantage over former usage, and is a point wherein Pennsylvania is considerably in advance of most other states." Very Expensive Fishing Constable A. A. Baker, ex-officio game warden of Sullivan county, the other day captured two men who had fifty trout under six inches in length in their baskets and promtt'y took them before 'Squire Buschhausen at Laporte.

"At this season," said Murray Garde, the veteran camper of the Wissahockon, in the Philadelphia Record, "the minds of many persons turn to .wild life in a tent, and they decide to go camping. Often, though, they make mistakes in the things they take with them for food and comfort. The foods they should take are coffee, bacon, dried peas, dried beans, hominy, cornmeal and tobacco. They might also take canned goods for wet weather toma to soup, deviled chicken, potted ham and the like. For bed coverings they need a rubber blanket apiece, two woolen blankets and a hard sponge pillow. Their clothes should be old and abundant. They should take with them all the aged shoes and shirts aud suits they have, lor a camper is constantly getting wet, con stantly tearing holes in his raiment, so that he needs innumerable changes. In selecting a. site for a tent it should be born in mind that a high piece of ground, or a knoll, is needed; other wise the first rain floods the campers out. And always the camp should b; within reasonable distance of a spring, so that good drinking water may be gotten without trouble. It is best to do your own cooking in true camp style. One man each day should be appointed cook, one dish washer, one table setter, one camp cleaner, and so on. Usually, though, after the first week or two, a camp becomes careless and untidy. Dishes are not washed until just before they are to be used again, beds are not made until bedtime, and the sward around the tent resembles, with its overcoat ot newspapers, cigarette boxes, empty cans and crumbs of food, the dumps down in the Neck It is a sign, when a camp nets like that, that it will soon breakup. Yet, untidy or not, it is a healthy place al ways. The man who lives in a tent never gets rheumatism, or a cold, or any ailment. He eats like a horse, he sleeps 10 hours, and he gets up early in the morning, not because he is energetic, but because his hunger won't let him lie abed any longer.
