The Safes« Part of a Train, A party of travelers in train were talking over their traveliny experience

and the danger of accidents, and finally the question arose as to the safest part |

of the train. Failing to settle the ques- tion among themselves, they called on the guard, and one of them said to bim:

“Guard, we have been discussing the matter of the safest part of the train and want to know your opinion.”

“Want to know the safest part, eh?’ replied the guard.

“Yes, that’s it.”’

“Well,” continued the cuard, “I’ve been on the line for 15 years and have been turned over embankments, ‘bust- ed up in tunnels, dumped off of bridges, telescoped in collisions, blown off the line by cyclones, rin into open switches and had other pleasant inci- dental divertisements of a kindred na- ture, and I should say, gentlemen, that the safest part of the train was that part which happened to be in the works for repairs at the time of the eccident.”—London Telegraph.

In spite of British rule, [India is still virtually a soapless country: Through- out the villages of Hindustan soap is indeed regarded as a natural curiosity, and it is rarely, if ever, kept in stock by the native

shopkeeper. In the

towns it is 'd to a certain ex- tent, but how smail this is may be gathered from the fact that the total yearly consumption of soap in India is about 100,000 bundredweight—that is to say, every 2,500 persons use on an average only 112 pounds of soap among them, or, in other words, con- siderably less than an ounce is the average consumption a person.

Took It to Herself.

Stubb—I made an awful! blunder last night. 4

Penn—What was it?

Stubb—Why, Tommy called me about midnight and asked what the noise was down stairs. I told him it was the old cat.

Penn—Was it?

Stubb—No; it was my wife looking for water. It took me until morning trying to convince her that I was allud- ing to the old cat with black fur and nine lives.—Chicago News.

Titles In Spain,

In Spain you can become a nobleman by marrying a duchess, a marchioness or a countess. The man who marries a lady bearing one of those desiguations immediately becomes invested with the same rank. You may obtain nobility without money by these means, it is true, but, generally speaking, you will find it a hard task to secure a titled wife unless you are well provided with cash.

He Couldn’t Help It.

The funniest interview I ever had or heard of, relates Julian Ralph in his reminiscences, was when I was on the staff of the New York Sun. I had been sent to look up some one in a suburb of the city. The address was a number on Fourth street, but, to my amaze-

place. The house I sought was not is any of them. Tired and almost dis- couraged I turned into a cobbler’s shop, and seeing a bearded German bending over a last in the glare of a swinging lamp, I cleared my throat and said:

“I beg your pardon, but 1 am 2 re- porter of The Suf”—

“Well, weil,” he said soothingly, be- fore I could finish the sentence, “you cannot help dot.”

I could not continue for a full min- ute, so struck was I by the unexpected philosophy and wisdom of his reply. l could not help being a reporter, and I knew it. When I explained that I wanted an address on Fourth street, and had already been to three Fourth streets. and would like to know if there were any more, he lifted his bammer and poised it in the aii for balf a minute.

“You vant to know if dere is some more of dose Fourt’ streets?’ he asked. “Vell. I vill tell you. I haf lived here dwenty years, trying to find somedings owt. and I didn’t find anydings owt yet.”

In putting away rubber gloves, rub- ber sponge bags and rubber bathing caps a liberal supply of taicum, or even ordinary toilet powder, should be applied to them on all sides, and they should be placed carefully in boxes without rolling. When they are needed for use again, they will not be found adhering in different places ip a way that makes pulling apart dangerous, if

not entirely disastrous. a
