A Road. Hog Caught.
Up in Hartford, Sunday, a young
woman was riding her wheel on the
right side of the street, when a driver
of a horse deliberately guided his animal
toward her and crowded her to the
walk. She was thrown and to save
herself from falling under the carriage
had to put her hands on the moving
wheels and push herself away from
them. The driver went on, as it is the
custom with road hogs, but fortunately
a gentlemanly bicyclist saw the affair,
gave chase'to the team and caught
him. The road hog denied any knowl-
edge of the incident, which was wit-
nessed by several persons, and threat-
ened to whip the wheelman who fol-
lowed him.
We have been watching and waiting
for something of this kind to happen,
observes the Ansonia Sentinel. We
have felt that some day one of these
mean and miserable persons would be
cahght and now we are waiting to see
what will be done in this case. The
man’s name was printed in the I—Iart.
ford papers and he, has at least earned
an unenviable notoriety which will not
help his business as a restaurant keeper.
The young
WOman ought to enter a complaint and
have him before the police“? cou'rt,’
where he can be punished as the law,
directs. ‘ I

A Victim [of the Bargain Counter.
While the taste of the average wom-
an for a bargain sale has given rise to
a thousand jokes, and become proverb-
ial in this country, it is in no sense a
passion confined to American women.
The bargain counter,so far as we know,
has never been the cause of a death in
this country, or created anything like
a riot; but The London Medical Record
of September 11 notes the fact that “a
woman was recently killed in a crush
The
crowd of women was so large and dis-
orderly'that' the services of twenty-two

policemen was necessary to maintain
order. The decision of the coroner
was that the woman ‘died from syncope
caused by the exertion and excitement
of getting, into a bargain sale,’ and
that ‘her death was due to natural
s 3 5.
causes.
One must admit that it is natural for
- women to besiege and assault a bargain
counter, and it may be for the actiomof
the heart to be onsuch occasions some-
what atfecte’d if not permanently inter-
rupted; but to die under such conditions
seems to be one of the most unnatural
things in the world. In the face of
bargains a woman always wants to live.

FUN ERAL BY TROLLEY.

co fr)r.iP1|blic Ohsequies.
The funeral trolley car has been
.teadily making its way, and its gen-
1al adoption promises to be not long
ieferred. An improved car, made f01
er-vice in Cincinnati, is an elaborate
'evelopment of the original form. It
5 solid black in color, with gold lea)
distributed theoughout to‘ relieve the
somberness of tone. It is about 2t
:‘eet long, with a vestibule in front to
hold the casket. In general design and
size this vestibule much resembles the,
box of a hearse, placed crosswise'of the
car. The opening is at the side of the
car, and the casket is shut off from
the view of those within the car. In
the inner apartment there is room fox
about twenty passengers. In the case
of a largely attended funeral, another
ordinary car could be added, which
would hold from thirty to fifty people
and would greatly reduce the expense
:besides obviating a great deal of the
delay incident to the use of carriages
To be able to hire such a-car instead
of a hearse, and the number of mourn-
ing carriages ordinarily necessary, is
an immense boon to people with lim-
ited means. In Cincinnati, for in-
stance, a hearse costs $8, and five car-
riages, which would be necessary to
carry twenty people, would cost $4
each, or $20, making $28. This item
‘ should now be reduced by at least one-
half. While in this country the street
car would probably not be looked upon
as meeting the requirements of. a
great public funeral, in the City 01
Mexico all the attendants at state ob-
sequies travel to and from the ceme-
tery in street cars, and while the fu-
neral procession is in progress all the
other traflic on the line is stopped.—

Japan’s Quaint Ways.
Japanese cycle manufacturers con-
duct their business on decidedly quaint
lines. They charge for their machines
according to the speed at which they
are capable of running—that is, what
they term a “seven-mile bicycle” may
be bought for $30, while a twelve-mile
bicycle cost $50. At this rate, it would
hardly be worth while to try to push
American machines in Japan, although
the “seven—mile bicycle” could be done
considerably under $30 by some Amer-
ican bicycle manufacturers.

WHAT IS “Soc'vAL POSITION 1.11”", ' l
The Peanut Tender Considers Kimball
. Above the argon-Grinder.
People who belong to_ what is called
the best society in large townsor cities
are usually quite unconscious of the
fact that society is graded just as
minutely beneath them as it is in the
plane with which they are familiar;
But, in fact, every individual in a com-
plex society, down to the beggar in
the steet or the tramp on the high-
way, has this “social position.” The
city missionaries of Boston report
with some astonishment, that a, great
social gap exists between thepeanut—
vender on the sidewalk and the peri-
patetic organ-grinder, and that the
children of the former are forbidden
by their parents to play with the chil-
dren of the latter. It is indeed assert-
ed, and with considerable truth, that
mere wealth is a passport to the best
society; but this is less true in Amer-
ica than it is-in England, and less true
in Australia than it is in America. The
reason is that in England the best
society is a State institution, and,
therefore, is more sure of its position
and can afford to be less exclusive—-
to be more hospitable, not only to
wealth, but also to intellect and orig-
inality—than is possible for the cor-
responding class in a democratic coun~
try. Moreover, even from the most
aristocratic point of view, a good rea-
son can be given for accepting wealth
as a substitute for birth. The fact
that a man has made much money
implies as a rule, that both his mind
and his physical strength are far above
the average. From what better stock,
then, could the best society he re—
cruited? This, of course, is not the
motive of the rich man's reception in
good society. It might better be de-
scribed as nature’s reason for permit-
ting the anomaly—Henry Charles
Merwin, in Atlantic Monthly.
HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours ; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too f1 equent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of or der.
WHAT TO DO.
There 1s comfort 1n the knowledge so,
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’ s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills eve1 y w ishb‘ 1n reliev1ng pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and

corrects inability to hold urine and :4
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-, i.
