It was perfectly obvious that the man in the corner was crazy. At least it was perfectly obvious to the nervous looking woman who salt just opposite him, It was not so much the mystical series of wigwag signals which he was making with his handkerchief as the amazing contortions of his ace, In the intervals of these contortions he star- ed intently in the direction of his nervous visa -vis, but at nothing in the world, so vague was his look. Then he would tap the bridge of his nose with bis finger, grimace, and sorew his fea- tures into horrible expressions of ma- lignant madness. The poor woman didn't know what to do. Her alarm was so apparent that all the others in the car noticed it, even the man himself in one. of his lucid in- tervals, and thereafter his performan- ces be camem o o r violent than h n ever. Every physician knows that maniacs de- light in playing upon the terrors of those who exhibit fear of them. Per- haps the woman herself knew it; at any rate her feelings finally reached an In- tensity such that when the man half rose from his seat she shrank into her corner with a stifled squeak, which brought from him a glance of triumph, or perhaps It was surprise, But he only sank back again, with an expression of disappointment, as if his time had not yet come, which indeed it hadn't. There- after she held herself gathered close, with every muscle strained, ready to Spring and flee. She didn't have long to watt. The man looked toward her with that terrible, unseeing glare. His fists clenched. The handkerchief clenched in one of them, ,jerked in short, sharp os- cillations. His eyes began to bulge out, His face became purple. Beneath his curling lips could be seen his teeth bare to the gums. He leaned forward toward the horror-struck woman, his face protruding utmost into bars. His sheep, hot breath was on her cheek, and dust as hie arcus went up to clutch she made one bound from her seat that took bor half way Clown the oar. Two more leaps landed her on the platform. Thence with a mad yell she launched herself forth, despite the re- straining grasp of the alarmed conduc tor. and was fortunately naught by a policeman, who escorted her to the' side -walk, where sbo wept. From; be- hind she hoard it mad, grasping roar of baffled rage, but the manias did not follow. Ho didn't want to. He sank back in his seat again and wiped his tearful eyes, Then he took out a newspaper and began to read. It had been a hard struggle, but it had ended in victory. He had got that sneeze out. 1 FLASFIES OF FUN, Tell me, bete do you keep your hus- band at home so well? What can you! find to say to him to outortam him'; I don't talk to him at all.

Five minimax and a EWE Expected at Next Census: The population of Canada as estimat- ed by the Department of Agriculture for the past fiscal year is 5,125,480; It does not follow that these are the ao- - curate figures, but they are consider- ed to be approximately correct. The es- timated population in 1891 was 4,843,256, and the census showed that the actual figures were 4,833,239. The estimates therefore came within ten thousand of the count. 'raking into consideration the influx of population that ought to follow the mining development it is considered that it is not too much to expect that when the census is taken four years hence the country will con- tain at least five and a bait millions.
