He then found that he had paid 14 francs 45 centimes, whereas the .proper fare was only 14 francs 42 centimes. He asked for his money back at the office, but withoutresult. An interview with the station master was also unsuccessful. He afterward wrote a number of letters to the comany, but received no answer. He then commenced an action to recover the three centimes. He won the action in the lower court, but the company took it to the appeal court, afterward to the Courde Cassation. Both courts dismissed the appeal and the company was ordered to pay the plaintiff the three centimes. The cost to the comupany a mounted to t,250 francs, or $1, 650.-Railway Engineering Re view.

The com position of tobacco smoke is complex, the princlial constituents being oils of a tarry nature. Nicotine itself is a strong germicide. but the quantity of this poison in tobaceo smoke is nminute. The oily matter which accumunlaites in a tobacco pipe is highly pboisouous, but does not contain any apprciable (quan tity of nicotine, the chief constituenit of thIs r-esidue being a ver~y poisonious oil known as pyridinte. Tobacco smoke contains a decided quantity of ear bon monoxide. which is a preser-vative and wvhiich must possess germuicidal proerties. One of the pr-incipmal con stituents accounting for- the germidal properties of tobacco smoke is the po'v erful antiseptIic form:aldehyde.-New York Herald. His Logic.

The proprietor struck this item out, writin;, on the margin: "-If the cats eat the rats, wherefore the muent? If they don't, wherefore the cats?"

Origtn of the Emblem of Authortfy Used In Congress. At the right of the speaker's desi n the hall of the house of represent Atives in the capitol at Washington stands a large cylindrical pedestai made of highly polished green marbie. When the house is called to order each day, the sergeant at arms or one of his deputies places upon the pedes tal the mace. which Is the symbol of authority in the house. When the body adjourns he removes it and keeps it in safety until the house meets again. This mace is of very ancient and honorable origin. Under the old Rto man republic the magistrates passed on foot from one place to another ad ministering justice, trying public of fenders and imposing penalties. Each of these magistrates was at tended by a small body of men known as lictt.rs, whose duty it was to make way for the 6fficers of the law, pre serve order, make arrests and inflIct punishment on condemned citizens. Each of these fictors carried with hi1 a bunch of rods tied together with thongs and having an ax bound to the outside of It. The thongs were used for scourging and the ax for beheading. Sentences imposed by the magistrates were at once carried out. Those bundles of rods were known as fasces. When the Romans conquered Britain the use of the fasces as a sym bol was brought with them, and many other Roman customs remained with the British people. While it was no longer used for in flicting punishment, it continued to be used as a symbol by the early English magistrates, and when au olicer ap peared carrying the fasces his au thority was immediately accepted by all. It was, in effect, his badge of office. The English form of the fasces was slightly changed in that the ax was placed Inside of the bundle of rods, with the blade protruding from the top. The great councils of the early Saxons gradually developed into one general body, which In the fourteenth century became known as the 'house of commons. In all these earlier coun cils the use of the fasces was con tinued, but It then came to be known as the mace, which has remained as the emblem of legislative authority In that body down to the present day. The house of representatives of'the United States was modeled closely after the house of commons -by the framers of our constitution, and the usage of the mace was borrowed from the English custom. The first. mace adopted by the house was destroyed by fire when the Brit ish burned the capitol in 1814. From 1814 until 1842 a mace of painted wood did service, but In the latter year the present mace was made after the model of the original one.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The class in geography in one of the Brooklyn schools was asked by the teacher. "What are some of the natural peculiarities of Long Island?"

A good many people try to administer forgiveness and punishimenit at the same time. About all some men get for their efforts to be dignified is a reputation of having the swelled head. The greatest triumph for a boy is the privilege of being accepted as an equal by boys somewhat older than himiself. Don't begin to wonder how other people can afford so many things that you can't afford. That is a big step in the direction of growving envious and We have noticed that people who do exactly as they please, whether their friends like it or not, get along about as well as those who are always trying to lase-Atchisn Globe. TIGER MEDICINE. A Secret That Was Guarded by an East Indian Trainer. The maharajah of Jammu had at one time the distinction of possessing the finest male tiger kept in captivity any where in the world. Percival Landon in "Under the Sun" describes this beast and tells a strangely interesting story, which he declares is strictly true, in regard to it The tiger, a glorious brute of white and orange and black, with steel uin ews and teeth like Sikh daggers, lay sulkily in his cage and growled. Na daun, the attendant, spoke to the tiger, and as he did so the beast flung him self furiously against the flimsy bars. The keeper put his slender hand under his clothing and pulled out a little white bag. Some years ago the tiger had found that the little back door of his den was open. The assistant of the little men agerie returned to find him loose in the garden and fled. Iu half an hour Jammu's streets were as those of a dead city. No- man h!n dered the tiger, and he glided silently down the main street of the town, a beautiful vision of orange and black striped death. He reached the jungle and vanished. An hour later Nadaun came back to his work and heard the news. A few minutes afterward another solitary fig ure made its way down the still empty street. He had no weapon. He had a little white bag in his hand and was soon lost to sight in the jungle. An hour later he returned, barehead ed in the sun. At his heels, fawning and kittenish, slouched the tiger, and round its neck was loosely tied one end of Nadaun's white pugree. It was the little white bag that had done it "Would your honors like to see the effect of this medicine?' Nadaun put his hand Into the bag and scattered a few whitish grains inside the bars. In a moment the tiger was upon them, searching out the tiniest bit of what ever it was. In fifteen seconds he was on his back,- beating the air with his huge paws, like a kitten at play. Nadaun very naturally refused to al low us to look closely at the powder. It was his livelihood, he said, and his secret, if our honors would pardon him, must be kept Keep the pores open and the skinclean when you have a cut,burn,bruise or scratch.

In the early days of W. S. Gilbert's success, iwhen Gilbert & Sullivan were considered by managers as the "sure inners" in the comic opera fieM, a - young woman who was a member of one of the "Pinafore" companies wrote to Gilbert telling him of her approach Ing marriage with a young man of good position and family. Gilbert congratulated the young woman and expressed the hope that her future might be prosperous and happy. Only a little more than a month passed, and another letter from the. same girl reached him, in which she stated that her engagement with the young man had been broken and that she had accepted another suitor. He replied tliat he had every confi dence in her judgment and again ex pressed his hearty wishes for her wel fare. It was almost two months after that that Gilbert received a third letter from the saine girl, who Informed him that young Lord - had proposed and that she had accepted him after break ing her engagement with No. 2. Gilbert's humor could no longer with stand the temptation, and he wrote, "I desire to congratulate you on your - approaching marriage with"- Here he placed an asterisk and in a footnote added: "Here insert the name of the happy man." This is probably as characteristic a piece of humor. as any that appears in his "Bab Ballads" or in his works for the stage.

That Prince Bismarek was a good hater is shown in the 'remInIscences of Herr von Tiedemann, formerly chief of the imperial chancellery. During the irst dinner at which Herr von Tiede mann was present with the prince. Bis marck said he thought Goethe was wrong in saying that only love beauti fed life. Hate did the same service and was quite as great a vivifier an love. "To me," added the pricee.

A veteran, going fz~ his room one night to let out the 'cat, stumbled on the landing and pitched headlong down into the hall. "Why, Silas," called his wife, "is that you? Did you fall downstairs?"
