There has been some talk In Eng land lately of endeavoring to shorten the voyage across the Atlantic by de veloping he harbor of Galway, on the west coast of Ireland, and connect ing It by swift steamers with Bt. John's In Newfoundland. The distance from Galway to St John's Is 1,816 miles; that from Liverpool to New York Is 8,116 miles, and from Southampton 8,095 miles. It Is assumed that transit between New York and St. Johns, nearly all by land, could be performed so rapidly that the time from London to New York would be cut down a whole day below the present fastest records. Many naturalists believe that ani mals possess senses unknown to hu man beings, something not Included In our fivefold range of seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling. Insects especially give evidence of possessing powers of perception peculiar to them selves.

NEWSBOY PICKPOCKETS. Two Little Experiencea with Thieves, with an Interval of Thirty Year. "One of my earliest experiences In ! this city," said a New Yorker of now imny-oaa years stanaing, -was witn a newsboy who tried to pick my pocket; and among my latest expe riences has been one precisely simi lar; this last experience showing, I suppose, that I am getting old and so have come to be regarded as an easy mark again, as I must have been considered when I was young and new In the town. The methods employed by the) two boys, working thirty years apart, were Identically the same, the boy In each case attempting the comparatively easy pocket-plcklng task of extracting money from the outside change pocket of an overcoat. "To do this the boy carries bis news papers, to the casual eye, held out in I front of him quite In tho ordinary way; but he actually holds them with the left hand only, carrying the right hand under the papers out of sight and apparently helping to support them, but wholly free. "Offering bis papers to a customer thus the newsboy pickpocket advances them closer and closer to the custo mer, with an appearance simply of Im portuning him to buy, until he gets the papers close to the man's coat and over the change pocket. - Under the papers thus advanced be puts forth quick, out of sight, bis .right hand, with which to rifle the pocket. If you leave It unprotected, though he may lose a chance by bungling him self, and so give you a chance. "This last boy that tried me was a novice and a bungler, who did Just that; and I felt the pressure of his fingers on the coat plainly before he got Into the pocket at all; and I turn ed on him, but not angrily, nor even threateningly, but with a sort of re proachful and regretful exclamation. Besides being chagrined for myself at being picked out as easy It really seemed a pity that this youngster should deliberately set out. as he seemed to have done, on the wrong road; to follow a way that. In the na ture of things, could lead to one end only ;and I am sure that the boy knew how I felt "I don't mean that he figured It all out as exactly aa I have tried to tell It to you, but he certainly did know In a general sort of a way. He start ed back with a shamed face, and at the same time with a scared sort of look, as though he thought I might get after him, after all; but when he realised that I was Just soft hearted and sorry, and wasn't going to do anything about It why, though I stood and gated at him for a moment he, after his first momentary look of shamefacedness and alarm. Ignored me completely, and simply went on offer ing his papers to the passers-by as though I had never existed. "He had had a good shaking up, from his failure with me and my dis covery of htm, and what with his wonder after that about how it was going to come out; but he was rattled for a moment only. He waa a novice but be waa coming on. "The mora of all this Is that while the great bulk of the newsboys are Independent, self-reliant capable little chaps, who are strictly on ths level, there are among them, more's the pity, some who will pick a pocket If they get a chance; and when you meet a boy who Insists upon working his papers up close agalnat you, over your outside change pocket why of him you want to fight any."

London Is Just now very much In terested In two surgical esses giving results In changing the nature of the subjects which promise to render val uable assistance In pointing the way to the reformation of criminals. One of these patients wss a boy of good family who had developed brutal In stincts which seemed to be beyond control. He gave his time to the In vention of malicious mischief, delight ed la killing or wounding, was ths terror of the neighborhood In which he lived snd promised to grow up s desperado and criminal. A clever sur gean took him In hand, examined his head with care, located what he con sldered the seat of trouble, removed a portion of the skull and thus relieved the deforming pressure. The change was Immediate. The Isd forgot his previous tastes snd habits snd was restored to his pa rents a normal and lovable boy, the complete antithesis of his former self. The other wss a soldier who was In jured In a skirmish snd after his dis charge for disability became a thief and burglar. His prevrus character had been unexceptionable, his military record wss the best and the chance was naturally attributed to the Injury to his head caused by a blow from the butt of a musket. When he was taken In hand by the surgeon he had about come to the end of a career of crime, being paralysed on one aide and un able to get about except on crutches. A depression In the skull sufficient to bring an sbnormal local pressure upon the brain was found and an oper ation was decided upon, which restored his physical powers as well as his men tal and moral faculties. His discharge was secured and he has since lived an Industrious and bnnest life, with no evidence of a disposition to go wn ng. New York Times. CLEARED OF 8WARM OF RATS Smoked Oat by Sulphur, They Take to the Water and Drown. When the United States military transport Sherman arrived at Manila recently she was, as Is the case of most otnCT h'D" thttt arrlv tcom or touch Hong-Kong on the way to Ma nlla, detained for Inspection to see If she bad any rats on board. When th big transport dropped anchor In Ma nila bay, therefore, the official rat in spector went on board to see what was d)lng In the way of rodents. If the Manila-American Is to be believed In Jess than fifteen minutes he hur riedly left the ship and going ashore reported that there was on board the Sherman, according to the patent rat enumerator In use at Manila, co fewer than 950,000 rats. The Sherman was Immediately or dered to the quarantine station at Ma rlveles, as no ship on which the disease-carrying rodents are found Is al lowed to dock at Manila until they are exterminated. Accordingly the Sher man steamed back to Marlveles. When she arrived there her hatches had been opened and enough sulphur carried below to kill millions of rats. As soon as the anchor was dropped the sulphur fires were started In the hold and In a few minutes the work of the fumes became apparent. Out of the batches there poured such a stream of rats as was never before seen In the Orient. First by the hun dreds and then by the thousands, they appeared at the hatches and then leap ed Into the water. Every one tritd to swim ashore, but the distance was far too great for any rat to swim and soon the great black line of paldling rodents began to thin out. 8ome (f them reached a point about 300 yards off the ship, but none got any farther, Arter the fumes had been working for about an hour the rats stopped ap pearing. An Inspection of the ship was made and not a rat discovered. The Sherman then re-entered Manl'a and discharged her cargo. New York Times. A Hanging Railroad.

There la surely do country half a world away In which the Occidental traveler expects so much delight and 10 little adventure as In Japan. Yet Ernest Foswell has recently related a tale ot terrible adven ture experienced In Japan y an Englishwoman but a few days after her arrival.' She was staying at a little country village among the hills, ind had gone out In the morning to gather flowers. The path ran across the uplands, where there is a wild 1 ml lonely stretch of country extend ing for several miles; and the beauty of some wild flowers growing In the tall grass led her to leave the trail uuthlnklngly, and press farther and farther Into the waving tangle. Bhe was a short woman, aud It reached above her head. If 1 had been a foot taller," she said, In telling her story, "l snouiu have laughed aud been out In a min ute or two: but those few Inches bur led me alive. "Almost lustantly I felt sick, as you do at the beginning of sn earthquake; for although I must have been quite near the path, yet with the grass all round above my head there was no knowing what would happen. I might be going right away at that very moment, aud the possibilities came like a shock. I believe I lost my head at once. I could not think, so I kept moving one way, then another. But merely pushing through this tall, tough grass is very tiring work, even If you are on sloping ground snd can judge where you will come out; and when It la level all round, the heart Is taken out of you from the feeling that every step Is probably burying you ueeper, It was like being drowned." It wss not until sunset, after a whole dav In the biasing: sun, without food or water, constantly wandering, constantly pushing and tearing at steins so stiff and serrated that they quickly make the hands bleed, that she walked suddenly out on to open ground and fell fainting In a heap. When she recovered, stars were shlulng, and she was slone on an unkuown tnouu talnslde. Shs slept from exhaustion. and the next dsy followed a wlndlug mountain torrent over rocky land, her ahnM and then her stockings worn from her feet, only to find, at sun down, that It had led her to a narrow soree. without one Inch of foothold or shore. The stream dashed through In torrent that hooelesslj barred the wav. ; Light headed with terror, hunger snd weariness, she crouched for s time In despair. Then she suddenly waded lu tA the stream and stood until sfter dawn waist-deep in water, while rain storm pelted upon her from above. Whim or Instinct, she believed that by ths rnni rtmh and sting of the water her reason and strength were pre served. The next day she retraced her weary way along the watercourse back to the heights; thence, fixing anew the point to which she must direct her steps, she successfully made her way back to civilisation. When at length she reeled Into the bnt of a kindly Jsnanese woman, sbs bsd been four days lost without food, snd had walk ed until her feet were so torn and Innamed It was thought she must have them amputated; but she fortunately regained her health uncrippled. Alighted Too Hoon. It had taken considerable persuasion to Induce the old lady to trust herself In an automobile; but finally she con sented because, says the Automobile Magazine, sbe was anxlpus to reach the bedside of ber sick grandchild In a village some twenty miles away. The owner of the big automobile, who was touring through Long Island, bad been very kind about it He chanced to be near the station when the old lady found she had missed her train, and when he overheard her lamentations he Insisted that she should accompany bltn. Ills route lay through that particular one of the half dozen Long Island villages named Hampton where the sick grandchild lay. Tbey started at last and everything went well until, in attempting to pass a wagon which occupied most of the road, the flying automobile went unex pectedly Into the ditch, and rather vio lently deposited Its occupants In an adjoining field. Recovering from the shock, although somewhat confused from the rather unusual method of alighting, the old lady asked of the chagrined chauffeur: "Is this a-a-a Hampton r "No, ma'am," he managed to gasp; "this Is an accident." "O dear!" said the old lady. "Then I hadn't oughter have got out here, had ir Had Lost Track of the Case. The young woman who, when asked If she had read Romeo and Juliet, re plied that she bad never read Juliet, but she thought Romeo was lovely, was of the same temperament as a village postmaster who knew or pre tended to know something of all the doings of the world, great and small. I Some wags from a neighboring town who strolled Into the postoflice one day thought they would bare some sport with the wise man. "I suppose It's pretty dead. up here, Mr. Pratt" said one. "Well, not so dead as you think I guess there ain't much goes on that we don't hear about even If It don't happen right here." "Why, you people don't know the war's over," said another, falling back on the stock phrase. "Oh, you can't work that dodge on me," replied the postmaster, looking shrewdly over his spectacles. "I guess I follered the negotiations with Kitch ener in the papers." "But there are some things that aren't in the papers," said another youth. "I don't believe you know when Shakspeare died." "Well, no," said the .postmaster, "1 didn't know that he was dead, but I beard last week he was pretty low." Consumption of Iron In Germany.

The Innocent' Suffer With The world to-day is full of innocent sufferers from that most loathsome disease, Contagious Blood Toison. People know in a general way that it is bad disease, but if all its horrors could be brought before them they would shun it as they do the Leprosy. Not only the person who contracts it suffers, but the awful taint is transmitted to children, and the fearful sores and eruptions, weak eyes, Catarrh, and other evidences of poisoned blood how these little innocents are suffering the awful consequences of some body's sin. So highly contagious is this form of blood poison that one may be contaminated by handling the clothing or other articles in use by a person afflicted with this miserable disease. There is danger even in drink ing from the same vessel or eating out of the same tableware, as many pure and innocent men and women have found to their sorrow. The virus of Contagious Blood Poison is so SS2U. SUnS K BLOOD FOISOH IS HO first little sore appears the whole CVd'tr?. RESPECTER OF PERSONS tainted with the poison, and: the skin is soon covered with a red rash, ulcers break out in the mouth ana throat, swellings appear in the groins, the hair and eyebrows fall out, and unless the ravages of the disease are checked at this stage, more violent and dangerous symptoms appear in the form of deep and offensive sores, copper colored splotches, terrible pains in bones and muscles, and general breaking down of the system. S. S. S. is a specific for Contagious Blood Poison and the only remedy that antidotes this peculiar virus and makes a radical and complete cure of the disease. Mercury and Potash hold it in check so long as the system is under their influence, but when the medicine is left off the poison breaks out again as bad or worse than ever. Besides, the use of these minerals bring on Rheumatism and stomach troubles of the worst kind, and frequently pro duce bleeding and sponginess of the gums and decay of the teeth, . S, S.
