Huddciily ho jumped lip nnd rnshed to the dour of the car.throwing his arms wildly, ns though l-utlng off an assail ant, and falling over tho other passen gers in his hastu to get out. "Shoot him I Shout hiuit" tie shout ed to the conductor. "Shoot him quick, or I'll hare to poll his head off I enn't stand this any longer. He's after met Bhoot him, 1 lay, or I'll pull his head off t" Tho quick wltted conductor, taking In the situation at a glance, palled him out on the hack platform and slam med the door behind him. "There," he said, "he isn't get you now, I'll keep him in the car." But the assurance did not satisfy the unfortunate man. He cowered behind the conductor and peered over his shoul der to watch his imaginary pursuer. "There he conies! Throw him out I" he shouted again, clinging to the con ductor in abject terror. "You stay here, and I'll throw him out tho front door," said the conductor, to pacify him. "Will you throw him over tho dash board ?" "Yes." "And will the mules trample on him?" "Yes." "And will the car run over him?" "Yes." "That's right that will serve him right throw him over tho dashboard, " and ho laughed in great glee over the project of getting rid of his ndversary. Tho conductor went into the car and pretended to take somebody out of the far corner and push him out of the front door. The madman on the rear platform shouted his approbation and jumped up and down with Joy. "There he goes," be screamed, "pueh him over don't let him get away push him over shovo him under the car it serves him right he can't get me now!" The ladies in tho car were thoroughly frightened, and but for the coolness of the conductor there might have been a stampede. Ho assured them thnt ho would keep tho man outside and get rid of hiin as soon as possible, which quieted them. The lunatic made no further demon stration beyond nervously watching the inside of tho car as though he feared his foe would appear again, and when the car reached Greenfield avenue he said in o perfectly natural way i "Here is where I live. I'll get oft here." He proved to be a south side gentleman whoso family la caring for him. He had matlo his escape tome hours before, and the members of his family were anxi ously looking for him. Milwaukee Wisconsin. Wg Ma sad Womb, What enormous fellows and what le viathan persona some of these Swedish men and women are! Nowhere will you see such noble specimens of adult humanity as in Stockholm's streets. The feature seems to pervade all class es, though it is not least striking among the nobility. Six feet is a commou height for a man here, and really I do not believe I exaggerate in saying that men of S feet U or 4 inches are as abnndant in Stockholm as men of 6 feet with us. The tallness of the women is just as noteworthy. You remark it less, how ever, because they are so well propor tioned. They say It is easy to tell by the sise of the boots outside the doors which rooms of a hotel are occupied by the Swedish fair. This is a very en dnrable hit at the Swedish ladies. Though they do wear sixes or sevens in shoe leather, no sculptor would find fault ' with them on professional grounds. Moreover, they have most winsome complexions, and of course blue eyes are nowhere more intensely blue than here. It is comforting to know I speak on the evidence of one of the pensionnaires that Swedish maidens have a great ad miration for English bachelors. They read French novels, but they believe in English bridegrooms. The blood bond still exists, I suppose, between them and ns. Cornhill Magazine, f owatt'a Coagratalatlona. Another story of Professor Jowett. student who had passed his "greats" with some distinction had, as was his wont, been taken np by the master and asked to partake of his hospitality. Tete-a-tete, the master inquired : " Well, Mr. , what do yon think of meta physics?" "Oh," was the consequen tial reply, "my two years' study has convinced me that metaphysics are humbug." "Indeed, "calmly observed the professor, "then yon are a very Incky man, Mr. , for there are some who have studied metaphysics until their seventieth or eightieth year and have not made that discovery. "Pall Mall Gazette. Cart Harrison' Grain District.' When the late Carter Harrison was in congress, a granger member once took him to task for speaking on a bill affecting agricultural interests, telling him that he should leave its discussion to the representatives of the farmers, upon which Harrison retorted t "I am from a district only three miles long and two miles wide, but in it we raise more grain than do many states com bined. It is raised by elevators." New York Post. ROGUES DREAD THE CAMERA. Photographs Ar the (3rntt fnllna Aid In rupturing Criminals.

The vanity of the wild western train robbers, bank holdups nnd horse thieves has, in scores of Instance, led them to pose before tho camern of the traveling tintype artist. After that capture was easy. Tho Dalton and Starr gangs owo their capture to this weakness. But the high class crook never has a picture taken unless it is taken by force and by police officers. A glance at the rogues' gallery on the walls of the chief of detectives' office will show a hun dred instances of where men have fought desperately against the process. All this amounts to nothing. No man can distort his face so as not to leave a recognizable feature. He can not change the shape of his nose, his chin, his ears or the general outline of his head. The ear is particularly a valuable feature In Identification. No two men In the world have ears exact ly alike. The construction will differ, and the general expression of the ear has an individuality of Its own. One pair of ears will stand out from the head like wings; another pair will lay close to the skull as if pinned there. It will be noticed that the subject is al ways posed so as to bring In the ears. Police prefer a view of the face and head, the larger the better, to if full length view. Where there are pecul iarities of carriage or eccentricities of form, such as short legs, long legs, long body, long apelike arms or a peculiar slouch, additional pictures are taken, but as n rule these matters are left to the descriptive circular, A criminal once In tho toils and pho tographed for police purposes may count his enreer practically ended. Every police and detective agency in the country and every penitentiary war den or prison governor are supplied with a copy of it. He is taken in on sus picion on the strength of his features made familiar. His alias is swept away by comparison with it and the details that accompany it. The noarch for a fugitive is continued into the prisons of the country. It is a very common thing for criminals who are hard pressed for the commission of a capital crime to do like Jack Shea, the murderer of Officer Doran, did commit a burglary or some minor crime and get put away for a few years In prison. Many a man has eluded pursuit when capture meant death by this ruse, but the photograph has reduced the success of this plan to tho minimum. All mem bers of the detective force are required to study the faces of tho criminals sent in by circular. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Animal Barometers. The tortoise is not an animal one would naturally fix npon as likely to be afraid of rain, but it is singularly so. Twenty-four hours or more before rain falls the Galapagos tortoise makes for some convenient shelter. On a bright clear morning, when not a cloud is to be seen, the denizens of a tortoise farm on the African coast may be seen sometimes heading for the nearest over hanging rocks. When that happens, the proprietor knows that rain will come down during the day, and as a rule it comes down in torrents. The sign never fails. This presensation, to coin a word, which exists in many birds and beasts may be explained partly from the increasing weight of the atmosphere when rain is forming, partly by habits of living and partly from the need of moisture which is shared by all. The American catbird gives warning of an approaching thunderstorm by sitting on the low branches of the dogwood tree (whether this union of the feline wun tne canine is invariable the depo nent sayeth not), uttering curious notes, Other birds, including the familiar rob in, it is said, give similar evidence of an impending change in the weather. Chicago Herald. A Lagond of Nantaokat. About Vineyard sound there are numerous legends of a famous Indian giant. It is said that the rocks at Sea oonnet are the remains of bis wife. whom he threw into the sea there. He turned his children into fishes, and emp tying out his pipe one day formed Nantucket out of its ashes. This latter story of Nantucket's source must ao count likewise for the well known story of that old Nantucket captain who was accustomed to make his reckonings by tasting the earth brought up on sound ing. One day the lead was dipped in some earth brought on board ship from the island, and the captain, after tast ing, leaped from his berth in great ex citement exclaiming, "Nantucket's snnk, and here we are right over old Mann Hackett s garden. " Naturally, he wonld recognize the taste of tobacco ashes. Boston Transcript Taught the Teachar.
