stirring Times Ahea nd.
(Demorest's Monthly.


There are indications all over Europe which
are omnous for the reigning monarchies.
England is republic in all but name, Francs
is one beyond all peradventure, while in
Germany, Italy and Spain, the great body "
the populations arc republicans in theory. A
change will probably come over Europe soon
after Kaiser Williams death. The kingdom
of Sweden is even now shaken by popular
democratic agitation. King Oscar, a descend
ant Of the French adventurer Bernadotte,
has repeatedly SGT at defiance the popular will
as expressed through the Norway Storthing.
And as a consequence there is a determination
on the part OF that nation TO assert its right
against the autocratic rule. King Oscar
may yet lose his crown if not his head for he
has violated the fundamental law, by making
the same pretensions which cost Charles l. Of
England his life. There are stirring times
ahead for the peoples of Europe.

The idea of the Chnanan is that when he
dies he ought to be buried in the trunk of a
tree, and so it comes about that all collins are
designed with view to keep up the illusion
They consist Of four outside tree boards, and
are so fashioned together rs to look very like

course, tremendously heavy; but then that is
considered an excellent fault. II son wishes,

the admiration of any friends who may call.
The owner would rather go into his coffin
than part with it, and generally speaking,
though Chinaman, may get into debt and
be very harshly treated by his creditors,
they will leave him his coffin, not wishing to

The camera became an alarming object
when the artist threw a black cloth over his
head and converted himself as it were, into
one large glass eye. The patient was told
not to move-a terrifying injunction. He
was earnestly entreated not to wink, and the
result was the tears instantly flowed into his
eyes until the craving for winking became a
madness His head was fixed into an engine
designed to steady it, but which in reality
appeared as if it was meant to crush it, and
in this position he was told to LOOK happy,
and to think of something agreeable, whilst
the operator watched him with his hand on
the cap over the lens waiting for the happy
| expression to come into his face. 1t was
\hardly surprising that the usual consequence
of sitting of this description was a likeness

that of acute mental suffering and consider
able physical anguish.

couple, for instance imagine that most
picturesque and pleasing effect may be pro-

up at Henry, who leans POLITICALLY over her.
In real life nothing could be more idyllic
than such an attitude; but in real life par
ticular subsection of light will not make
Matilda look like West Indian negress, nor
will Henry's bowed head lead one to suppose
that it is possible for a mans face to consist
entirely of the parting of his hair.

has never yet appeared in print The fol-
lowing incident occurred at jacksonville,
Florida, last spring, and the clever actor

idea in dramatic construction. which he pro-
poses to avail himself of some day. The cur

like individual advanced to the front of one
of the boxes and propounded the following
unlooked-for conundrum to the audience:
ladies and gentlemen. why is it that
Shakespeare is the only real dramatist the
world ever produced:"
As no one replied, the tall man went on
earnestly:
is it because of his marvellous knowledge
of human nature, or his wonderful command
of language and expression' Not at all Other
writers have equaled him in these respects,
but the immortal bard is the only dramatist
who recognized the evident fact that in real
life vice is not punished and virtue is not re-
warded as the sickly, sentimental playwrights
of to-day would have US believe. There is no

experimental work has been going
on for short time along the Milw aukee
& st. Paul railroad branch and the
Brandon branch, about thirty miles in
length, the object being to determine
whether or not the barbed wire of the
fence on either side OF the road can be
utilized for telegraphic purposes. The
fence wire was placed in proper condi-
ton for sufficient distance to make a
satisfactory test, the wire being run
under the surface Mt road crossings.
Superintendent of Telegraph Simpson
returned from the scene of the expert

not practicable. Telegraph work can

time, he says, but during the winter
months, when huge snow banks COM

lines, and il has been contended it should
be utilized for this purpose.

WASHINGTON.
Report of General John Newton on Coast
Defenses.

Report of General John Newton on Coast
Defenses.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., November 5.-Gen-
eral John Newton has submitted his an
nual report on the coast defenses. He
earnestly urges that the harbors of our
principal seapOrts be made impregnable to
attack by the addition of guns of heavy
caliber and other appliances known to
modern warfare. Past events, he says, by
no means justify the assertion that our cot
ton and grain have become so necessary to
the nations that they could engage in war
with us for a short period without the in
terTuptiOn of their supplies of those
articles. 1t seems to be forgotten that
descent upon our coast, to hold our unpro-
tected cities under the guns of a hostile
fleet, void consume but few months, and
in the meantime cotton and grain in INSULT
Gent quantities might be obtained else
where. The modern way is to make war
sudden, sharp and decisive, and to make the
beaten party pay the expenses. The
Board of Engineers for Notifications has
prepared an approximate estimate of the
cost of Notifications including ornaments,
modern, heavy guns and ritled mOrtars for
Portland, Boston. New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore. Hampton Roads. New Orleans
and San Francisco, and another estimate,
likewise approximate, for preliminary
works of earth and masonry, without arlnor
machinery and guns, to serve as emplace-
ments for the guns. The total estimate, in
Guiding ornaments, is S53, ass, 600. The
estimate for the emplacement of the guns,
excluding arlnOr, guns and machinery, is
SlO,3SS, 900. These estimates have been
made with care, and it is believed that forti-
tications. including guns in all harbors on
the coast of sufficient importance to tempt
the enemy can be prepared at cost not to
exceed 100000, 900. TIE following esti-
mates required for 1855 and 1886 are made:
For the defense of the Boston harbor, $780,,
900; New York harbOr, 81, 120,0 COO; Phila-
delphia, S132,00O; Baltimore, 100000;
Hampton Roads. 5000; San Francisco,
100000; modification of existing forts and
batteries, $685. preservation of fortifica-
ton, Sl75, 900; purchase of submarine mines,
$500, 600; easements, ETC., 5000 600; tOrpe-
does, 100000.
