Mr. St. John issued an ironclap order relating to people traveling_ over-his:road on passes. Each con-_ ditgtor was given a list of those whoare entitled to travel without a pass.The list is very short and includes thepresident, zeneral manager and one ortwo others. Superintendent Moncure,- for instance, can travel over his owndivision without a pass, but if he getson another division he must show hiscarboard.. No conductor or engineer,off duty, can travel without a pass.Phe gule was to go into effect JanuaryIst, and go into effect it did, as a goodmany old. pass-holders have found tocomeingOn January Ist the traveling aud-itor got on a Carolina Central train atMonroe, and in the course of timehere came along through the car oneof the S. A. L.Ts handsomely uniformed eonductors with his punch, snippingholes in the tickets. He stopped when__ hereached the auditor aud held out"hishand, oTicket, please,� was all hesaidsT The auditor looked astonished.oI have a pass, sir,� he said. oPass,please,� was all the conductor replied,stilt holding out hishand, ~The anditorsaid he had left his pass at home.oCash, please,� responded the con-ductor. The auditor was near about__ paralyzed, and began to parley. The~ conduetor reached for the bell cord andthe auditor handed up the cash.A director of the Seaboard Air Line_ Company, who lives in Charlotte, had_ to go down into his pocket tor $8.32yesterday because he had oforgottenT_ his pass. In three days the conductorshave oheld up� the auditor, a director,two of the attorneys for the road, twoengineers, one conductor and one str-tion'agent. All had to pay the cash.On the K.S., oold things have passed_ away and all things have become new,�or words to that effect. If you want_ to ride on a pass on that road you have,to show it. Capt. Harry. Johnstoncame up from Monroe yesterday morn-ing und went back last night and Capt._ George Welsh pulled him for 65 centseach way. It was Capt, Johnston who-had pulled the director for $8.32.ee Thoughts~of a Queen. ~) are always the martyrs of ourfaults.| sy in allover is a homage; in aFan insult...68 is like the echo; it answerscome.No-drop would be half as pleasant.- In the mingled draught of life.

Thecourt says that oif the whole evidence| including that supplied by the legal pre-j sumption of sanity, does not exclude, |beyond reasonable doubt, the hypothe.sis of insanity, the prisoner is entitled.to.an acquittal of the specific offense |charged.� Whether or not this is goodlaw need not enter into the question. || 1t has been laid down by the court of | who iglast resort, it will be held as law in the | wriWith the words of the marriage vow. |!When the wifé as frowns and sighs, | prnenge, skilletAnd the WifeTs have a wrathful glitter/\,,glow of the sweetheartTs|', 44,'to.

These, some.whatT violent, should not be triedwithout the advice of the physician,and no direction for their use is in-cluded in this article,The strokes given im massage arefor restfulness or for the purpose ofrousing blood vessels and other or-gans to action and may be light orhard, the same variety of stroke be-ing varied to suit the patient. Norule can be given for this, as judg-ment is something given only by na-ture and experience. Po gesMassage must never be given toweary, and the masseuse shouldhave a hand firm, but soft, flexible,sensitive and strong. Even an ama-.teur may have this kind of hand,and practice will make it full ofhealing to the sick.

There is also rubbing with thetips of the fingers, which is verysoothing when done lightly and of-ten induces sleep when practiced onthe head and wrists. |An invigorating motion is givenby resting the base of the hand onarm or body, placing tips of fingersfirmly on the skin and drawing to-ward the base of hand, working inthis manner from wrist to shoulderand from foot to thigh. The hand isnever flat when doing this, but bentto give purchase to the action ofthe fingers. ~ : :It will be found that the motion~of kneading the flesh, which is al-most precisely that of kneadingbread, will give both stimulus and arestful sensation to the invalid. Onthe limbs this is taken from side toside, not up and down, as the former,but like it in that it starts at thewrists and ankles, working upward.Last of all, and often omitted savein cases of sluggish circulation,comes percussion, which is slapping| the entire body from hand to shoul-der, from foot upward, the head be-ing omitted. This may be done withthe entire hand flat, or with it bentso. that only the fingers, thumb andbase of hand touch the flesh, andmust be done carefully, as even gen-tle blows on tender surfaces are of-ten not beneficial.
