Medi cal skill and knowledge of all schools will be brought together with the hope of finding means of combating this most dreaded of all diseases. It is estimated that GO.OOO oersins polish each yeur in the United Kingdom froir tuberculosis. The United States loses 100,000 persons annually from the disease; still, in this respect, it seems the leAst afflicted of all the civilized natiorfs. The total number of deaths from tuberculosis in Europe is aboul 1,000,000 annually. It is now general ly agreed that the scourge is not hered itary, and that it is possible to prevent its spread by infection. The problem before the world's congress is to tell how this may be done. If it should solve the problem, it will prove inesti mable service to humanity. A blow is being struck against one of London's picturesque characters No less than eight of the new munici palities which make up the city have declared against the coster, and the familiar vender with his "pearlies.' his "doner" and his "moke" is begin ning to feel the hand of the law. There are between 60,000 and 65,000 costers In London who make their living by paddling. They are a guild by them selves, different from the rest of Lon don in speech, customs and manners. Perhaps it is not true to say that their speech differs materially from that ol the average cockney, but it is full ol vocal and consonantal distortions thai do not find their equal anywhere. The complaint against the costers is that they are public nuisances, that they obstruct the streets and interfere with the trade of the shopkeepers.

The tendency steadily to Increase the size of ocean steamers is explained by the fact that the larger the vessel the smaller is the coal consumption— the greatest item of expense—per ton of cargo carried. For a 4000-ton ves sel this is more than twice as great as for 9000-ton vessel. Efforts have been made to effect a saving in the consumption of fuel. Im proved fire boxes have done good. New boilers have helped to some ex tent. There are a score of appliances that make a ton of coal go further to day than three tons a half century ago. However, so long as more heat is wasted than utilized scientists have a work before them. When crossing the ocean in the summer one can send messages almost as regularly to one's friends as when on land.

The secretary of the Sheffield cham ber of commerce, after a careful study of conditions in the United States, awards the heartiest praise to the road transportation system in Amer ica, in comparison with the achieve ments so far made in Great Britain.

Moreover, be frankly admits that the prinicpal steam railroads of Yankeeland are more punctual in their train service, and provide more com fort and convenience for passengers than the British roads furnish. He also commends our fast freight trains, which carry enormous loads at high speed in cars of remarkable strength and capacity, drawn by the most pow erful locomotive engines in the world. Preliminary plans for the proposed Carnegie technical school in Pittsburg have been made. They provide for six large buildings grouped around a central courtyard. The course of in struction in the school will extend through nine years. The first four years will be devoted to preparatory work, and the second four to the regu lar collegiate work of the engineering schools. The ninth year will be the post-graduate course, which all fin ished engineers desire to take before they enter practical business. The buildings were planned with the long and thorough course in view, and the idea was the result of long study of the conditions and their success in the best technical schools of the old world. Facilities are to be offered for obtaining the mastery of any chos en trade or the grouping of all for thorough training of engineering as a science. All of this is to be coupled with practice. Italy is suffering from what crimi nologists called "a wave of crime" of most virulent description. The total number of persons arrested last year was nearly twice as large as in the year before, the numbers being, re spectively, 530,000 and 280,000. These figures include offenses of all kinds from minor misdemeanors to murders and assassinations. The greatest in crease is noted in the latter class, and the police seem unable to check them. The cause i3 found chiefly in the im poverished state of the country, which has given rise to much labor agitation with the accompanying strikes and violence while hunger and a general spread of neurotic ailments are men tioned as subsidiary causes. The Italian authorities, however, point out, for the benefit of foreigners, that this wave of crime is, so to say, quite local, and, therefore, we take it, tour ists need have little fear of being the *3ctims of any but the usual legitimate ■oiiberies and extortions. t AN INDIAN FAKIR'S TRICK. J An officer of the British army, who served ip India with the Seventh and the Fourteenth Hussars was spending a few weeks in New York. Some lriends were talking with him about India and his experiences there, and the conversation turned to Indian fa kirs and 'their wonderful performances. "These fellows do perform some ex traordinary tricks," said the British officer, "but extraordinary as they are, the tricks are not so fearfully wonder ful as some of the stories of them which are brought away from India by the tourists who learn all about India and it£ people in the course of a few weeks' sojourn in some of the coast towcs. "As a matter of fact, the greatest of tfte fakirs are never seen in the towns ijOd cities. Their religion and super- ion will not permit them to wander frcra their native haunts, and only ftp so who have traveled or lived in [Jle wildest and most remote parts of India have witnessed the performances of the really great tricks of the fakirs. "■&m must remember at the ouset thai the real thing, to use an Ameri canism, in the way of a Hindoo fakir is i man of secrets and of strange habits. He loves, or affects to love, solitude, and he works upon the superstitions of his fellows in performing what are re garded bji the other Hindoos as sure 3nough miracles. He lives in com parative seclusion, existing on heav an knows what. "Of course, at every opportunity, he extorts whatever he may from his fel lows, but that is not much. And, shunning as he does the cities, it is only for a veriuresome foreign hunter that he may now and perform and Set any considerable backsheesh. In his native state he is the fiitbiest hu man being I ever clapped my e.ves on, and by long habit he has fallen Into a chronic state of weirdness, BO to speak. "Report travels much more rapidly than one would suppose in the moun tains of India, and once a party of for eign sportsmen or travelers appears In the up country, a fakir is not long in striking the spoor and he keeps ;o it until he comes up with the strang ers. At such times the fakir usually travels with a small boy and a dirty Dag filled with a promiscuous jumble 3f nuts, shells, trick paraphernalia and what not. "The first time I ever met a no-dis count fakir was in a wild, unfrequent ed part of India, where two other offi cers of the regiment, an army surgeon and myself, had gone on a hunting trip. We had spent the day beating for a tiger, which got away, and had returned to camp tired and out of sorts. Taking an early dinner, for we were horribly hungry, we sat down Sutside the tent to smoke our cheroots. "Suddenly, just before sundown, we noticed an uncanny looking parson coming toward us, grinning like a black devil, salaaming at every st?p. a»>d mubling something which none of us could understand. We knew, of course, that our visitor was one of the mountain fakirs, and we calmly waited for him to proceed to business. 'As he put down his bag with great deliberation, the boy accompanying him curled himself on the ground and seemed to be paying attention to noth ing in particular. After a little the old codger produced, seemingly from nowhere, a ball of ordinary cotton string, which had ou.ee been white, such string as shopkeepers ordinarily use to tie up light parcels with. "The man's hair was gray, and his Dide was as black as Erebus. He wore a dirty turban and loin cloth, which two articles constituted his apparel. The boy's outfit was 110 less elaborate. "After tossing the ball of string about for a while —it was about the size of a billiard ball —he threw it high into the air, retaining the free end of the string in his hand. Up and up and up went the ball, growing smaller and smaller the higher it traveled, until It disappeared from sight altogether. To all appearances it had sailed up un til it reached the nearest stratum of clouds and disappeared behind it. It was the mightiest ball throwing wo had ever seen and was quite sufficient Jto attract our attention to anything that the old boy might subsequently do—and that was just what he wanted. "As soon as the ball had disappeared, the fakir let go the free e&d of the string and there we had a line of cotton twine extending from about five feet from the ground up to the Lord knew where. When the old man found that the ball remained up in the air, refusing absolutely to come down, no matter how wildly he gestic ulated or how loudly he yelled at it, ae was apparently much annoytd. "He tugged and tugged at the cord, but he couldn't pull the ball out of space, and as an evident last resort, he called the boy, told him to climb the cord and bring the ball down. Then we saw the spectacle of a boy 12 or 14 years old, climbing hand over hand up ? line of cotton twine about the 6ize of a large pin. Up and up, higher and higher, the urchin went, climbing as a sailor climbs a rope, until he, too, had dis appeared behind the clouds which hid the ball. When last we saw him, ht looked to be just about as big as the ball did when it disappeared. "As soon as the urchin disappeared there was more trouble for the fakir. The boy appeared very well satisfied with the roosting place he had found »nd the old man was no more success ful in getting him back to earth than he had been with the ball of twine, l'hen we did have a sample of splen did rag*. "The old rascal worked himself up into a perfect fury. He yelled and danced and gesticulated and gave the best exhibition of a human demon that I ever saw. By way of heightening the effect and increasing our interest in the show, he dropped into broken but intelligible English, the substance of which was: " 'Am I to be made an idiot of by a ball of string and a fool by a chok era (small boy)? Allah forbid! I will them both teach that they may not trifle with one so old and so wise.' "Then rushing to the filthy old bag that had been lying all this time on the ground, he thrust an arm into it and drew forth the most murderous looking knife I ever saw. *lt had a curved blade about nine inches long, three inches across at the hilt and ta pering to a fine point. Placing: the knifo between his teeth and grai ping the twine in both hands the old boy, showing marvellous agility for one of his apparent age, went up the cord as the boy had, hand over hand, and in less time than it takes to tell it he, too, had disappeared from view. "Ho had us all going by this time, and we just sat there gaping up irrto the air like a lot of precious idiots. There was a second's absolute silence, and then an agonizing yell, so piercing that it sunk into one's very bones. An other second, which seemed like an age, and then we saw a dark object come hurtling down from the sky. Down and down it came until it landed only a few feet from us with a sick ening sort of thud. "Looking to see what it was, we saw tjie head of the boy who had climbed the cord lying there, severed from the body at about the middle of the neck. A closer examination showed that the face wore a horrible expression, while the scarlet blood poured from the di vided arteries and the dark venous blood from the veins. The twitching of the newly cut muscles and the wind pipe, and the cleanly severed joints of tw t of the cervical vertebrae were quite plain to the army surgeon and to the rest of us, all of whom knew a little of anatomy from the field hos pitals. "We hadn't by any means got over the shivery feei.'ng we experienced at seeing the head of the late urchin, when down came an arm, cut off through the shoulder joint and giving all the anatomical relations in that part quite plainly. A moment later the other arm dropped at our feet and an examination showed that it had been cut off in exactly the same way. The doctor said the old rascal carved cleverly enough to have been a surgeon at the Royal college. "Wo were about ready for anything after that, and so were not particularly surprised when a leg, severed at the hip joint and exposing the head of femur, the muscles twitching just as you may have seen them twitch in a freshly killed animal, came along. The other leg followed indue time and then came the trunk. "A moment later the old man was seen coming down the string, and when he dropped to the ground from the end of it he was literally covered with gore from head to foot. The knife, still held between his teeth, was fair ly dripping with blood. His eyes ap peared wilder than ever, his features drawn, and he paced back and forth for it few seconds like a chained tiger. "Then he collected the head, limbs and trunk and tossed them into the old bag. While watching this action we lost sight of the string and the knife and never saw them again. Sling ing the bag over his shoulder, he walked away. We knew this was only a bluff, because he hadn't yet received any backsheesh and we knew he never would depart without that. "He had only moved off a few paces when we saw that something was mov ing inside the bag. The old man stopped, put on a surprised expression, but the bag down on the ground, and in a moment out crawled the boy as sound in wind and limb as he had ever been. "The boy began to sm,!», and the old man, smiling and salaaming, came toward us for his money. This he got in a very liberal amount, and off he went, leaving us standing there, uvj»- tified, confused, flabbergasted. "We looked about for traces of rcceiltly committed tragedy, btj> where the ground had been red with blood a moment before not a trace u< it was left There was not the slight est bit of doubt that the boy had been carved up and there was not the slight est doubt that he had as miraculously come to life again. "About the carving, the rest of us might have been mistaken, but you couldn't fool the doctor. He had been cold blooded enough to pick up the different members of the body as they had come tumbling down from the sky, had examined them and was perfectly positive that the dismemberment had taken place and had been the work of a skilful surgeon, or of anato my. That was one of the perform ances that I ever saw of the real, gen uine Hindoo fakirs of the Indian wilds." "But how do you account for it all?" aske'd one of the British army officers' friends. "Why, there is only one way to ac count for it,"was the reply. "We were simply mesmerized or hypnotized by the old boy and placed in such a men tal state that we imagined the whole performance really had been enacted." "But how about the arnjjr- doctor, who handled the dismeinberea parts?" asked some one else. "Oh, he was befuddled just lite the rest of us. He thought he handled .tray arms and legs and heads and trunks, whereas he didn't do anything of the kind." "Maybe Englishmen in India can be come thus mentally twisted," said the first inquirer, "but I'm blamed if I be lieve anybody else can. Either you saw a miracle performed or the whole blesse<*>ot of you were jagged."—New York Sun. A MODERN CUSTOM, Laropeiin Dinciu«io(i of Finger-giant Etiquette. The use of finger glasses after din ner is quite a modern innovation in Germany, introduced from England. Until about 10 years ago glasses were indeed brought round at dessert at the very end of the meal, but this was for the purpose of rinsing the mouth, and a very comical sight il was indeed to see gentlomen and la dies in plain dress, or en grande ten ue, washing their mouths at a sump tuously furnished table —or for the matter of that, in any private or pub lic assembly room—instead of retir ing to some private chamber for this purpose. In Bavaria it often happens that persons of talent, but without much knowledge of the manners o, what is called polite society, are in vited to dine with royalty, and not unseldom has the mistake above re ferred to been made there. The fol lowing little anecdote, however, con tains the details of a practical joke played by a number of artists on a colleague still living who had for the first time received an invitation tc dine with the prince regent at the Schloss at Munich. Several masters of the brush had received similar invitations, and as the painter in question was somewhat elated and excited by the honor con ferred upon him, and at the same timt singularly nervous and inquiring as to the way he would be expected to behave at the royal table, his con freres put their heads together and determined to play a practical joke upon him. He was accordingly told: "The first time anybody is invited tc dine at court a special drink is handed round in glass bowls, and the newly invited guest is expected, according tc strict etiquette, to take one of these bowls in his hand and to rise and ex claim. 'I drink to the health of his i royal highness,' and then to quaff the contents of the bowl at a draught, make a profound bow toward the prince regent and so resume his seat." The gentleman in question acted to the letter according to the instruction given hirn. To the man ners of the court must be attributed the suppresson of all suspicion of a giggle, and it is stated that the royal host did not appear in the least dis concerted, but afterward over the beer the merriment was unrestricted. —London Telegram.

Speaking of the bill to prevent children being served with liquor in the public houses he said: "This will never do. They are destroying our future customers.'
