had k'u only n short distance when he
began 1 1 pull ncrvoinly nwny frcim the
corner, msting frightened glances over
his shoulder as lln;ug!i ho saw some
thing Ixside liim.
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

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

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

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."

Photographs Ar the (3rntt fnllna Aid

The gientest nid that the thief takpr
of today has In hs penc!wlon Is the
photograph. The ilifef and outlaw

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.
