About six O'Clock last evening the
schooner Gen. Spinner, of Somers'
Point, N. j., bound for Walton, Whann
g. Co.'s wharf with load of phosphate
rock, while being towed up the Christi
ana by the tug K,oertoot, of Philadel-
phia, collided with the Delaware West
ern railroad bridge. The draw was
fully open at the time, with lights at
each end, and the collision was caused
by misunderstanding between the cap
tain OF the tug and the captain OF the
schooner. AS result OF the collision
the sch 5oner lost her bow-sprit rigging
and bob-stays and the pier and draw OF
the bridge were considerably damaged.
The schooner was taken on to the
wharf OF Walton, Whann & Co., where
she is now dscharging cargo. The
owners of the tug will be held respon-
sible for all damages.

NEW YORK, October 31.-The inn
mense brewery of Messrs. Meyer &
Bachman, at Clifton, s. l., took fire
at about quarter past ten o'clock
this morning from some unexplained
cause. The flames spread with fear
full rapidity, and the building was soon
total ruin. A great panic ensued
when it was made known that danger
existed to.the on-lookers from the pos
sible explosion of some of the boilers.
The streets were soon cleared by the
authorities, however. 1t is computed
that four hundred men pre- thrown out
of work. The loss is estimated at hall
a million dollars.

Women in Russia.

Il is often asked why women play so
large part in revolutionary movements
in Russia. There are several answers to
the question, aud one is that women are
there allowed to ill positions aud follow
employmcnts from which, in Western
Europe, they are invariably excluded or
exclude themselves. Women thus have
opportunities of taking part in political
discussions which would not otherwise be
accorded to them, and of those opportuni-
ties they take the fullest possible advan-
tage. And if anthropological science is
at all trustworthy, women in Russia are
intellectually superior to the male sex.
In his book on al Empire des Tsars, NJ.
Anatole Leroy Beaulieu says that the
weight of woman's brain in Slavonic
races is greater than that Of mans; while
among the Germanic people the brain
weight of the sexes is equal, the Latin
nations having the brain OF the man heav-
ier than that of the woman. "For intel
ligence and resolution" we are told, Gas
well as for education and the rank she
holds in the family, the Russian woman
is already the equal of the man. Among
the Slavs man is often mobile, flexible,
ductile, and impressionable to an excess;
but, as if in compensation, woman, in mind
and character, possesses so much strength,
energy-in a word, virility-that without
losing either her grace or her charm, she
exercises often a singular and irresistible
ascendancy. ."-Lioerpool Daily Courier.

Deaths by lightning.

Reports of death by lightning during
the recent heavy storms are rapidly coming
in. and it will be interesting to know that,
after all, there is not much in the OIL say
ing, when a man is very unlikely to have
any particular thing to happen to him,
that his chances of meeting it are about as
good as his chance of being struck by
lightning. According to the last publish
ed census of the United States (that of
1900 lightning alone disposed of more of
our citizens in that year than came to their
death through yellow fever, gout, scurvy,
hydrophobia-of which there is now so
much dread-cholera, cancer of the mouth,
calculus, Addison's disease, lead poisoning,
or suicide by cutting the throat or by
drowning; nearly as many rs were killed
by explosions, and about one-fourth as
many as died of the so-called American
disease, dyspepsia. The statistics are as
follows: Deaths by lightning, 202; yellow
fever, III; gout, 43; scurvy, SO; hydropho-
bia, So; cholera, 76; cancer of the mouth,
165; calculus, 1O9; Addison's disease, IL;
carbuncle, 168; lead poisoning, 81; dys-
pepsia, S41; explosions, 800; suicide by
cutting the throat, 133; and by suicide by
drowning, 119. Large, however, as is the
number of deaths by lightning stroke in
the aggregate, yet only one person out Of
246,722 comes to his death in this way.

a kind of gallery over the headless efigy
so familiar at the end Of the Confessor's
Chapel. We are accustomed to admire the
swans aud antelopes and the curious scenes
from the Kings life which are carved on
the high screen under which we pass on
the way into the Chapel of Henry VII,
without remembering that it conceals one
of the most elaborate little buildings of
that age now remaining. 1t is raised so
high that people far down in the nave
must have been able to see the daily ele-
vation of the host, and with certain fe-
licity, leading as it does to the Lady
Chapel, was dedicated to the Annuncia-
tion. Some ingenious person has discov-
cred that the western side Of the screen,
with its tall staircase, forms the letter Ii,
the initial of Henry's name, and, unfortu-
nately, some still more ingenious person
has discovered that the helmet on the
eross-beam is not that in which the King
fought at Agincourt, but one specially Or
dered by the undertaksrs for the funeral
1t is more solid, but scarcely more import
ant, in truth, than the three score and
ten we saw in the triforium. When we
climb into neighboriDg chantry, that of
Abbot Islip, we find it filed with still
more singular funeral monuments. The
wax works are no longer shown to the
public, yet they are worth seeing, and are
probably the most vivid likenesses remain
ing of the few personages they represent.
Dean Stanley strangely observes that they
were even highly esteemed as works of
art No doubt they were. 1t is unques-
tionable that the figure of Chatham, with
his keen eyes, his bushy eyebrows
features both lost in ordinary sculpture
his great nose, his commanding attitude,
is brought more distinctly before the
mind by a sight of this wonderful speak
ing efigy. Did Macaulay ever see little
William of Orange standing on cushion
beside his tall stout wife, and observe the
real look Of the slight figure aud
the worn yet vivacious face }? Certainly
these figures were the work of no mean
master, and, if the Duchess of Richmond
and her dead son lying in state are not so
good, it is rather because the subjects were
not equal to the art than because the art
failed to do them justice. Even the COM
faded figure of Charles II, which
faces the spectator as he enters the chan
try, is startling with its appearance of re-
ality.-London Saturday Rerie'0.

IN THE TWILIGHT,

As we grow old, our yesterdays
Seem very dim and distant;
We grope. as those in darkened ways,
Through all that is existent;
Yet far off days shine bright and clear
With suns that long have faded,
And faces dead seem strangely near
To those that life has shaded.
As we grow old our tears are few
For friends most lately taken,
But fall-as falls the summer dew
From roses lightly shaken
When some chance word or idle strain,
The chords OF memory sweeping.
Unlock the hood-gates of our pain
For those who taught Us weeping.
As we grow old, our smiles are rare
To those who greet US daily,
Or, ifsome living faces wear
The looks that beaned 50 gayly
From eyes long closed. and We should smile
In answer to their wOoing,
lis but the Past that shines the while
our power to smile renewing,
As we grow old. oGr dreams al night
Are never the morrow;
They come with vanished pleasure bright,
or dark with oldeB sorrow;
And when we wake, the names we say
Are not Of any mortals.
But of those in some long dead dag
Passed through life's sunsets portals.
