Boyce by a trolley wer on lower Broadway, the injury of several persons by cabs, and’ the death from injuries so received of Col. Bavage, and two cascs of collision of surface cars by which a score of passengers were bruised and some bedly hy! One of these cars Jumped the track in crossing Sixth Bvenue at Twenty-elghth street and ran with full tm- petus against the steel pillar which by a device of anti- Quated engineering stands in the very centre of the Btree:, {n the collision of the Eighth avenue trolley and the Fourteenth street car the impact was so violent that every pane ef glass in the two cars was smashed. A friend of Gen. Boyce writes that he*stood for some time at the corner of Pine street and Broadway, near the scene of the fatal accident, and ‘‘noted™s aumber of oars running at a rate of speed too rapid for safety to pedestrians.” Something ‘'should and can be done,” he thinks as the lesson of this sacrifice of a valuable life to @iminish the danger of another such accident. The peril of the streets was never so general and so tmnjinent as it Is now. It confronts the pedestrian wery time he darts from sidewalk to sidewalk. At the sorners where car lines intersect the confusion attend. (mg this peril is heightened by the maze of flagmen and switchmen and signalmen. By night the waving lan- verns and flasliing headlights suggest a crowded railway yerd. 1 But what is to be the remedy? If motormen are sent to jail oftener will that improve matters? Bars are not Ikely to intensify the punishment which the remem- brance of the human being mangled by his act right be- fore his eyes inficts on the motorman for years to come, If the rate of speed is reduced an army of impatient passengers rises in protest. Yet the weekly, almost daily, tribute of human life to these cars of Juggernaut becomes constantly more fleplorable. THE AGE OF MUSCLE. The recognition of proficiency in muscle as a desir- @ble course of a college curriculum receives official {n- dorsement at Columbia by the institution of a training gchool for teachers of physical education.

I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name There was but one woman to him, and that woman wad the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory. I had seen little of Holmes Jately. My marriage het drifted us away from each other, One night—it was on the 20th of March, 1888—I was returne ing from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to clvil practice), when my way led me through Baker street. As I passed his well-remembered door I was seized with @ keen desire to see Holmes again and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers, 4 His manner was not effusive, It seldom was; but he waa giad, I think, to see me. “Welllock sults you,” he remarked, “I thing, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.” ‘Seven,” I answered. * “Indeed, I should ‘have thought a ttle more. Just # trifle more, 1 fancy, Watson. And !n practice again, I obe! serve. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness."* “Then how do you know?" ‘ i “I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have beet getting yourself very wet lately and that you have @ most, clumsy and careless servant girl?” “My dear Holmes," sali I, “this ts too much.
