A school inspector in England asked a child in a primary school to tell him as nearly as possible what he understood a pilgrim to be. "A pilgrim is a man who goes about a good deal," was the reply. This seemed not quite satisfactory to the inspector, and he said: "I 'go about a good deal,' but I am not a pilgrim."

This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that meets these cases exactly. Such cases cann\)t be treated locally; nothing but an effective, systemic remedy could cure them. This is exactly what Peruna is. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna. write at once to Dr. Ilartraan, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

An aerial luggage transmitter has been, erected recently by the London and Southwestern Railway Company at their junction at Woking, and is, we understand, in the nature of an experi| ment, being it is believed, the first j appliance of its kind used by any railway company in the kingdom. In briefly describing it Engineering states that on the up and down platforms are erected iron towers, each 32 feet 6 inches in height, and set in j blocks of concrete. Suspended from ; tower to tower are four spans of wire j cable. The topmost cable, on which i the transmitter runs to and fro. is ex I ceptionally strong, and is capable of j bearing a strain equal to at least j twenty tons. The second cable keep3 | the transmitter in position, and the j third and fourth' cables, which, are : much thinner and are in one length, i are for "paying out" and "returning." | Each span is 110 feet long, and the i height of the transmitter above the ! railway is 22 feet 6 inches. Attached ' to the transmitter is an iron cage capaj ble of holding half a ton at one time. : The whole is worked by hydraulic I power, the engine being on the down side. Above it is a small box in which are the levers working the apparatus. The transmitter is very rapid in its working, taking only thirty seconds to Jlejjosk. ten hundredweight of luggage from cne platform to the other. All the experimental trials have been, it is said, most satisfactory and the transmitter is now ready for use. TOMMY'S LESSON. I thought, when a boy was old enough to have a slate and book and go to sehool he was big enough to take care of himself and go the way -that he wanted to. So I did not go straight down the road, as my mother told me; but I climbed the fence to go across the field. By and by something %said. "Bow-wow-wow!" and there was a big dog running right at me. Didn't I run? That dog almost caught me before I got to the fence: and I tumbled over, and scratched my arm and broke my slate, and tore my clothes. So I had to go home to mamma. She said, "Ah, Tommy boy, pec pie never get too old to go in the right way instead of the wrong one. The straight path is the safe path. Remember that." And that is all the lesson I learned in my first day at school, 'cause I didn't go.?Early Days. STREET CAR SPEED.

It was not a crowded train, as I easily perceived when I alighted with the rest to stretch my legs. Most of the passengers had turned out, too, and we lounged about, staring at each other without keen interest until time was up and the sharp cries of "Take your seats," "Now for the Xortli," sent us back to our carriages. I had a compartment to myself, and I regained it without paying particular attention to those nearest me, save in the vague, unconscious fashion that would hardly serve for later recognition. One man I noticed in the next carriage?he and I alone were traveling "first," at any rate, in that part of the train?but do not think I should have known him again but for his traveling cap with the lappets tied under his chin and his loose ulster with a cape?distinct facts in his appearance, although they made little impression on me at the time. Then another matter claimed my notice. There were sudden cries, "Now, sir, now! If you're going cn, look sharp, sir, please." I saw a man, a laggard, hurrying down the platform, puffing breathlessly in evident distress, as though the pace was too great for him. Hp made straight for where I sat. but stopped one compartment short of mine, and as the train was already moving they hustled him in neck and crop; the signal was given, "liight," the whistle sounded, the engine driver blew a response, and we steamed ahead full speed. I felt rather concerned about this neighbor and late arrival. His white face, his staring eyeballs and hanging tongue told of great physical exhaustion, and I fancied that I heard a groan as he tumbled into his carriage. Evideutly he had run it very closehad come upon the platform at the very last moment, and had all but missed his train. lie had only just joined it, of that I felt sure, for I had not observed him on our departure from King's Cross nor here at Grantham. Why had he been so anxious to save his passage and such peril to himself? For lie was ill?I made sure h& was ill?so sure that I threw down my window and, leaning out, shouted to the next compartment, asking if anything was wrong. Xo answer came, or it was lost in the rattle and turmoil of the express. Once again I called out, having no certainty that I could be heard, but certain at last that I heard no reply. Why should I worry further? The next compartment was not empty, tlif I knew. If the newcomer was really ill ana wantea neip ne couin get 11 from bis traveling companion, the man in the loose ulster and cap tied under his chin, whom I believed to be in the carriage with him. So I dismissed the matter from my mind and sank back among the cushions of my seat to rest and he satisfied. I must have dozed off. but only for a minute or two as I though, and I seemed to be still asleep and dreaming when again I heard a groan in the next carriage. It was a perfectly vivid and distinct impression, as half waking dreams so often are. I could not at the moment say whether what followed was reality or a figment also of my drowsy brain. What I heard I have said was a groan fraught with keen anguish; what I saw was quite as clear, but still more extraordinary and unaccountable. The train had slowed down and was almost at a standstill. We were in a tunnel; the lamps in the carriages threw a strong light upon the brick walls and reflected all that was going on in the compartment next mine (none of the others near had any occupant). But in this the adjoining compartment two figures stood cut plainly? men's figures, and one held the other closely in his arms. More than this I could not make out. I saw it clearly, although but a brief space only, a few seconds of time, for now the train moved on rapidly with increasing cnnafl ond /-v ro 11 aiif r\ f +nr?n a! opccu, uuu nc lun uui vi int: tiiuiivri. Tho reflected scene of course disappeared at once as complete]}* as though wiped off a slate. There was trouble next door, of what nature it was impossible to guess, but I felt that it must be ascertained forthwith. If it was a case of serious illness then the one hale man would surely ring the alarm bell and seek assistance for the other; if it was foul play lie would make 110 sign, and it then became my bounden duty to interpose without delay. These thoughts Hashed quickly through my mind, and it seemed an oorn n-hUrk T tr> vocrdvo mv doubts. Probably no more than a few seconds elapsed before I put my hand to the signal and stopped the train, I was first to get out, and hardly waiting the stoppage I clambered along the footboard and stood upon it, looking into the carriage. No one was to be seen within. "Quick, quick I" I cried to the guard when he came up. "in here. Some thing has happened. There is a mat sick; I fear he has fainted. He wasn'1 alone, but I cannot sec the other man.' Now the carriage doer was opened and disclosed a body lying recumbent inert, in a strangely stiff, haphazard fashion on the floor. The guard stooped down, waving his lantern ovei the white, drawn face and moving the body gently on one side. "All up with him, I expect. Run somebody, along the train and see ii there's a doctor aboard. And you, sir what do you know of this?" I described what I had heard 01 though I had heard and seen, including the glimpse reflected in the tunnel. "You must have been dreaming o: you're inventing," was the guard*: I'Rtlier abrupt comment, "Couldn' IT AWAY. ; When we look toward the sunset in the gorgeous afterglow, ; Let us thank the blessed Father for the things we do not know; ; Let us thank Him with all fervency that He has never sent ; Any burden quite unbearable; that while our backs have bent i Underneath the load, we've had His arms about us all the while? i Let us laugh away the trouble though our eyes are dimmed with tears; Let us laugh away our troublos though our eyes are dimmed with tears; i Let us laugh away the heartaches and the worries and the fears; Just '"be good and you'll be happy"?if you're happy, you'll be good; : For the rule's so double-acting that it's seldom understood. 0, there is no future coming with a lot of trouble in? i We can fight it oft by laughing till the others start to grin! ?S. W. Gillilan, in Los Angeles Herald. IN A TUNNEL have seen anything like that?'tain't possible. And how comes it you know such a lot about it? You tell us, too, there was another man in the carriage ?what's become of him? A fine ! story!" "Would I have given the alarm if I was implicated in any way?" I answered hotly. "Don't be a fool, guard." The guard would have answered me rudely, no doubt, but at that moment a doctor appeared upon the scene. "The man is dead?beyond all question dead," he said at the very first glance, "And the cause of death?" I asked eagerly, while the guard frowned at me as though I were making myself too busy. "Are there any marks of foul play?" "None visible.' replied the doctor after a brief examination. "I should say it was heart, but I cannot be certain till I have looked further." "Which you can do somewhere else and better than here," interposed the guard. ""We've lost too much time already. I must push on to York and report there. This is too big a job for me." "Y'ou had better go back to Grantham." I protested. "It's quite closenot half a dozen miles." "I don't want you to teach me my duty, and I'm not going. I've got first of all to keep time. Why should I go back?" "To identify the dead man?lie got in at Grantham?and to give information as to the man who got out." "Oh, bosh!" cried the guard. "There was no man?no one but yourself, and you've got to come along with me, and ?that"?lie pointed to the corpse?"on to York." i certainly snail not go on wun ine train. I shall go back to Grantham alone. There is no time to be lest. The other man " * I thought the guard would have struck me. He was obviously ready to lay violent hands on me, and he repeated "that he meant to take me on to York, if necessary by force. "You've no authority. You're not a police officer, and I am, or as good, for J I am a government official. Here is my card. Let there be an end of this. I think you are wrong in going on, but at any rate I shall walk back to Grantham by the line. Be so good as to look after my things in the next compartment," and with that I alighted and left the guard rather crestfallen. Within a few minutes, walking rapidly, I re-entered the tunnel which had been the scene of the strange incident, and in less than half an hour I reached the station. It >vas dimly lighted, for the next express train, the 12.0G "up," was nearly due, and there were several officials upon the platform. I went up to one, an inspector, and briefly told liim what had happened. "Dear, dear! Of course. I remember. That was Mr. Erasmus Bateman. He belongs here?a rich man, greatly respected;, has the big stores in High street. He was in a hurry to catch that train, for he was going down tonight for the great timber auction at Hull to-morrow. He buys a lot for his furniture factory?that is, he did, I suppose I ought to say. Poor Mr. | Bateman! He was heavy, overfat for his age, and he ought not to have run so fast." "Would he be likely to have much money on him?" I asked. "Why, yes; likely enough. He was his own buyer, and he always bought for cash." Here was a motive for foul play. I saw the disappearance of this second passenger explained. Bateman had died suddenly almost in the other man's arms. If evilly disposed it would be but the matter of a moment for the latter to get possession of purse and pocketbook and all valuables?everything, in fact?and make off, leaving the carriage at once, even at the risk of his life. It was a pretty, a plausible theory enough, and I put it before the inspector with the whole of the facts. "I'm inclined to agree with you, sir, always supposing there was any such man," lie replied. "Your tunnel story is a big mouthful to swallow." "There he goes," I whispered, clutching at the inspector's arm and pointing to the tails of a check ulster disappearing into the booking office. "He must not sec me; he might recognize me as having been in the north express. But go?sharp's the word. Find out where he's booking to and take a fnr mr? +<-k SJliriP nl.lCP. Hci'P t v v vv v v " 4 " ' are a couple of sovereigns. You'll find ine in the "waiting room." He came to me there, bringing a ticket for King's Cross, the other man's destination, i "Traveling up, no doubt, by the 12.00 midnight express, due in London at 2.40. Mark you now, inspector, I want [ you to telegraph to Scotland Yard and . ask them to have a detective on the arrival platform to watch for our > gentleman in check ulster and flap ; cape and stop him. "Mention my name; tell the office to look out for me, and we'll arrange fur[ tlier together." An electric bell sounded in the sig t nal box and the inspector cried: "Here \ she comes! You wait, sir, till the last ' I'll mark the ulster down to his carI riage and I'll put you the next door. , You must be on the lookout at Petcr1 borough and Finsbnry Park. He might 1 get off at one of those stations." ; "No fear," I said, as I got into the i carriage with a parting injunction to the inspector that he had better tele, graph also to York, giving the def ceased's name, and inform his rela, tions in Grantham. My man in the ulster did not move r on the way to town. I was continu; ally on the lookout, alert and wakeful, watching in every tunnel we passed r through for some corroboration of my 3 former experience. In the flying train t probably at this time ot night every f ? one but myself was sound asleep. The lights were certainly reflected onto the brick walls, but no action or incident. Nevertheless, I was now quite convinced that I had made no mistake as to what I had seen. I was close behind the check ulster directly its wearer alighted. So was my friend Mountstuart, the detective, to whom, as he ranged alongside, 1 whispered: : "Take him straight to the nearest station. I will charge him there with robbery from the person. Mind lie does not sling (throw away) any stuff." Except for my caution I believe he would have got rid of a fat, bulky pocketbook, but Mountstuart caught him in the act and took it from liis hand. lie began to bluster, shouting "What does this mean? IIow dare you interefer with me? Who are you?" "You will hear soon enough," said Mountstuart, quietly. "In with you. We are going to Portland road." I never saw a man so dumbfounded. He was a dark-eyed, lantern jawed, cadaverous looking, and he was shivering, no doubt with the suddeu shock of his unexpected arrest. He gave his name at the station as Gregory Carstairs, a commercial traveler, and it came out that he had had business dealings with Mr. Bateman. The temptation Lad been irresistible when lie held the dead man in his arms to search and despoil liim. He thought it was quite safe; no once eould know of his presence in the carriage, and the sudden death would be attributed to natural causes. His possession of the stolen property was enough to secure bis conviction for theft, the only charge pressed, for death had really been from heart failure. My evidence as to what I had seen was heard in court, and heard with mixed feeling in which incredulity predominated. The judge and some others were sufficiently interested, however, to put my statement to the test by actual experiment on the Underground Railway, and the fact of the telltale reflection was triumphantly proved. The next time I met the guard of that night express he was very crestfallen and admitted that he had made an ass of himself.?The Tatler. MYSTERY OF A SPIDER'S SPINNINC. How Hoes He Succeed in Drawing His Web So Taut? How does a spider spin a thread from one bush to another at a height from the ground and then draw it so tight? asks a correspondent in the New Century. Every one who has ever walked through a country lane early in the morning has felt the strained threads upon the face, and often these threads are many yards long, but the way in which it is done remains a mystery. He does not fly across, drawing the thread after him, for lie has no wings. Neither does he descend to the ground and then climb the opposite bush, for this would lead to immediate and hopeless entanglement of the gossamer filament. How then does he do it? M. Favler, a French scientist, has disnnT-ni-orl tlinf O flll'OOfl A!1Q Vnl'd Inn? VU > VI v. U lUll C li IU4VUU V" V ^ will support by its own buoyancy in the air, the weight of a young spider. It would thus be in the power of a juvenile to spin a thread of that length and trust to air currents to carry it across and attach it to an opposite bush so that ho himself could then pass over and draw it tight. But many of these threads, to judge from their strength and consistency, are not the work of young spiders, and as every observer knows, they are often many yards long and drawn so tightly that the face is instantly aware of their presence when breaking them. The work is nearly always done in the night time, so that observation is difficult. If the spider has any human nature In his make-up?and many of his habits would lead us to suppose that he has? he would be gratified at the perplexity which he causes and would advertise his performances as zealously as do less girted Human gymnasts aim even some popular preachers. The Azetecs Not a Dead Race. To the mind of the general reader the term Aztec conveys the idea of a more or less misty, extinct greatness; the idea of a great body of aboriginal Americans of mysterious origin, who at the time of the advent of the Spanish had reached the acme of power and native civilization, and then unexplainedly very rapidly and completely vanished. These problems?namely, the origin or derivation, the physical type and physical destiny of the Aztecs, to clear which history alone proves insufficient ?have been and remain prominently the subjects of anthropological investigation; and through these investigations, in which the anthropological department of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, is taking an important part, enough has already been achieved to warrant the hope that in not a very far future but a little concerning the Aztecs will be left in obscurity. One result of these investigations is the knowledge that the Aztecs of the time of the conquest are still represented by numerous pure-blood survivors. They are scattered, but still clearly recognizable by a student of the people in the suburbs of the city and in practically all the smaller towns in the Valley of Mexico. From the valley they can be traced southward: they are numerous in the districts of Amecameca, and thev occupy, though probably largely mixed with the Xahuan branch of Tlahuitecs, entire villages near and in the mountainous country between Cuautla and Cuernavaca, in the State of Morelos. In this Iast-napaed region there are in particular two large villages, Teteleingo and Cuautepec, in which the Aztec-Nahuan descendants not only speak the pure Aztec language and know but little Spanish, but they also preserve their ancient dress and ancient way of building their dwellings. In both of these villages the natives are almost free from mixture with whites. To estimate the number of pure-blood Aztec-Xaliuan descendants still in existence is very difficult. The Aztec language is still used by at least a mill- i ion, probably more, of the natives of Mexico.?Harper's for Christmas. The Ajje of Admiral*. Lord Charles Beresford has raised another little brcc-ze in England by protesting that officers in the British Xavy arc promoted to be admirals when too old to hold that rank. Of | the twelve officers holding the rank of admiral or vicc-admiral only three of them are below the age of sixty, one admiral being fifty-nine and two viceadmirals being fifty-?even and fifty-, five, respectively. Nelson was only forty-seven when he won at Trafalgar. Lord Beresford points out that Ger- J many has much younger men in these exalted places, and he asserts with Napoleon that at "sixty years, one is good for nothing." No fewer than 30,000 English women live on canal boats .... ... J ^r I rc HOW TO DRESS EFFECTIVELY. The girl with a pretty face and figure is supposed by many to have the advantage of her plainer sister. This does not apply, however, in all cases, for a pretty girl has been known to look very ordinary on some occasions, while her plainer sister at the same time was attracting much attention. This is understood by an observing person, who can easily discern that the plainer girl, feeling the want of that very desirable item?beauty? takes great care of the detail of her appearance, and gives considerable thought to what is becoming to her particular style of face and form. In dividuality should be the aim or every girl, for not until she has acquired this much desired trait does she become interesting. The girl with dark chestnut hair and eyes and clear white complexion is fortunate, for she can wear almost any color; but take away her clear complexion and she will have to be careful in her selection of colors and contrasts. Many girls, with the aid of cosmetics, try to make their faces suit their surroundings. This is a mistaken idea; the surroundings should always be planned and arranged to suit the face. A woman with a sallow complexion and dull brown hair and eyes has no reason whatever for looking ugly. All she needs to do is to affect dull reds and browns, and no matter what other color she indulges in, always have a touch of dull red or brown somewhere, and she will find her problem solved in the most satis factory manner, ane must give up an ideas of striking contrasts, for to her they are out of the question. Street Crossing Signals. United States Consul Warner at Leipzig has given the secretary of state a brief account of the system of signaling at electric car crossings in that city. "Until a few months ago," says he, "the method in vogue in this city of avoiding accidents at crossings of electric street railways was either to station a flagman at the crossings or to have the conductor run forward to see if the other end line was clear. An automatic signal lantern has been introduced by the street railway company which does away with these inconvenient methods. The lantern consists of two boxes, arranged one above the other, each having two 6ides fitted with red and the other two with green glass, the red being above the green. The cars on one line cause the incandescent lamps in the upper box to burn; the cars on the other line the lamps in the lower one. This causes, owing to the arrangement of glass in the boxes a large green light to appear to the first line, which indicates 'free passage,' and a red light to the second line, which mean3 'stop.' Signals are also visible in daytime, as reflections shut out the light of the sun, and the lantern is well lighted from the inside." HOLIDAY EXCURSION RATES VIA CENTRAL. OF GEORGIA R. R.

Garments should never be shut up in a closet or wardrobe directly after I being taken off. Let the bodice of a dress or any garment that has the least spot of perspiration on it hang over the back of a chair near an open window half an hour or more before being put away. The oldest clothes can be kept fresh and odorless if treated in this way. At night the stockings and all body linen should be hung over the backs of chairs sc that the air can circulate freely through them during the night.
