Corbin,s Scheme Is AGO.

READING. Pa, Oct. 30.-Nearly 800
delegates. representing the $4,000 EN-
ployes of the Reading railroad in every
branch of the service from all cities and
towns along the main line and branches,

dent COrbin's scheme to create a relief

pose of referring them to a committee
for action.

adopted by vote of lZ9 to so, and all
proposed amendments referred to a
committee of five, who are to make
their recommendations to the manage
memt of the relief scheme. 1t is to 90

The Direction of Sounds.

The average child, returning from school,
on entering the house calls Mammal" The
mother, perhaps, replies, "YeS" "Where
are you" is the next question, and the reply
informs the child not only as TO the floor,
but as to the room in which the mother eau
be found The child cannot determine its
mothers location by the sound of her voice
This exaggerated instance may be owing to
the reflection of the sound, not only from the
walls, but from the strata of air differing in
temperature and humidity.
How many of us going to the next street,
running at plight angles to the car tracks,
can tell from hearing the bell of the APP
preaching street car before the car comes in
sight, whether that car is going north or
south? 1t does not seem that animals can
determine the direction of sound much bet
ter than man. The sleeping dog, aroused by
his masters call, is all abroad as to his
masters location, and determines it by sight
or scent, or both. frequently runni6g in sev-
eral different directions before hitting the
right one. The deer, on being startled by
the hunters unseen tread, is not always right
in his selection OF the route to get out of
harms way. A flock of geese, ducks or other
birds, on hearing a gun is as likely to fly
toward as from the sportsman, if he has kept
entirely out of sight and the flash of the
piece has not been seen.-Arnold Burgess

TWIN GIANTS OF FINANCE.
Rassell Sage and Jay Gould-Their Bust
ness and Social Relations.

Rassell Sage and Jay Gould-Their Busf-
ness and Social Relations.
In one respect the twin giants of finance
offer a startling contrast to each other-Such
a contrast of character as is seldom met in
men who associate themselves so closely TO-
gether as do Gould and Sage. Those who
have occasion to meet both of these men in
intimate business or social relations say that
Sage is almost heartless. Gould is generally
credited with an entire lack of feeling where
business is concerned, and it may be that
many men have occasion to rate him thus
severely, but there is another side to his char
acter Sage boasts that in the whole course
Of his career, from penury to opulenoe, no
man has ever profited either by his knowl-
edge pocket book or influence. He contrib
utes to charity, but entirely through the
female portion of his family. so far as help
ing a man over obstacles, he had himself to
climb He does not believe in it ON prin-
ciple.
Let them take the plunge and find out for
Themselves he says; II had it to do.n
Around him are grouped today men who
have been in his employ for years, whom he
esteems, trusts and praises, and yet never to
the best of them has he given one dollars
worth of assistance outside of the fixed re-
muneration for their services, or the slight
est hint as to the condition of the market. 1t
is not so much Stinginess on his part as it is
his idea of business that keeps his purse
strings tied in this fashion.
Gould, on the other hand, has not only
made his private secretary millionaire, but
has assisted many others who are not in such
close relationship to him. A well known

his, who, u short time ago, was 50 poor that

but it is more likely that it was in the giving

any rate, the art cOnnOisser has become a

Feasting on Elephant,s Feet.

Speaking Of elephants foot takes us natu-
rally 10 the Katffrs, where this dish Is the
browning triumph of their bin of fare Night
is the time generally selected by the Kaffir
for the enjoyment of this prime luxury
Other portions of the elephant are eaten with
great gusto, but the feet are esteemed the
delicacies OF the feast. A hole is dug in the
ground and fire made ON The bottom. 1t Is
allowed TO burn down 30 a heap of Goals,
which are scraped out by the cooks When
the oven has been freed from embers, the foot
Is rolled into it and covered with twigs and
green leaves After this the hot embers are
replaced and roaring fire started over the
heap In this manner the foot is baked, and
when the fire has burned low the contents Of
the oven are lifted out by several men, and
the feast opens. Travellers who have Toasted
with the Kaffirs on occasions of this kind
have paid glowing compliments to their
cookery. The natives are said to love ele-
plant foot next 10 the marrow taken from
the leg bones Of the giraffe or Gland, but the
preparation of this food does not afford the
enjoyment which is associated with the dish
which we have described. - PhilSAslphia

The RIGHTS of Inventors.

When an inventor brings out something
that accomplshes a useful purpose not before
accomplished, or does this better or more
economically than It has been done, it is rea-
sonably certain he has invented something in
the value of which he has an interest. And
this point is the one that is overlooked by
those who declaim against the rights of in
vcntOrS in favor of some one who tried to do
something similar twenty years before. The
very fact that the party who tried first did
not succeed is fairly good evidence that he
did not make the invention. AID recent con-
struction of patent law is in favor of sustain
ing the inventor who accomphshes some
thing, as against the man who has tried and
failed, even though the means used are very
similar. And this is justice and common
sense. The patent laws are presumably in
the interest of the public, and the public is
interested in the inventor TO exactly the ex-
tent that it is benefited by him.-American

Better Way to SettIe It.

After few brief but decisive rounds, &C
cording to rules governing the manly art, i"
the vanqushed youth brokenly but earnestly
said The girls yours, Charlie; | wish you
luck" The combatants were members of a
Brooklyn club, and the question in dispute
will be evident from the utterances of the
man who had come out second best. In this
era of unbrided lawlessness, when an en-
ragged lover goes cunning for successful
rival, or sends = knife into the latters vtals,
the Brooklyn method seems an infinitely
more manly and proper plan for settling the
fateful question. II it savors of barbarisIn,
it is at least free from the faint of crime, and
if the Gordan knots with which Cupid SO
often enmeshes his victims can be united
with fists used according to proper rules, the
art of the pugilist can be regarded with less
repugnance by masculine adorers in general

A WOMAN'S SONG.

She took her song to beasny's side,
Where riches are and pomp and pride;
There in the world amidst the crowd
She found out hearts by sorrow bowed;
And midst a dream of light and dress
She saw the pain Of loneliness.
Her voices magic held a tear,
She made the weary ones draw near;
And all the passions of the throng
Were melted into peace by song!
She took her song along the street,
And hushed the beat of passing feet;
And tired toflers stopped to fill
Their hearts with music at her will.
She sang of rest for weary feet,
OF sea moan and of meadows sweet;
Her voices pleadings stilled the air.
And little children wept with her;
So ell their sorrow, grief and pain
She softened into love again.
She took her song to those who rest
Safe in the clasp of natures breast,
Amid the graves, along the shore,
Washed with salt tears forevermore;
And then she sang, How long! How longl
Before we hear thGt perfect cong
That angel hymn! That mystic strain,
When those who loved shall love again,
When LIES long struggle shall be blest
With music OF eternal rest

IMPORTANCE OF THE NOSE.
"One of the most eloquent and important
factors in the general make up of PERSONS
character is the nose. When wide and prom
nent it indicates character strong in its
composition and one determined to accom-
nlish everything undertaken. Indicative as
tits of commercial nature, person with
such a nose would make good business man,
while the opposite type of nose, i. G., narrow,
is Indicative of rather an effeminate charac-
ter, with great deficiency in business pur-
suits When turned up, continued he, as
yours is, it denotes a prying and inquisitive
character, an interchangeable news hunter.

Reasons why Dealers DO Not Sell as Much
"Chewers' SoIace' Formerly.
When the elder Charles Dickens was in this
country on his first visit there was no one of
the American habits which called forth from
the great novelist more condemnation than
the one of chewing tobacco. But times
change and national as well as personal
habits change with them America is no
longer nation of tobacco chewers, and that
manner of using tobacco is gradually. but
surely, passing away
Every tobacconist recognizes the great
change that is taking place in what in one
sense may be termed the public taste A to
baccO dealer whose tra"ie is not almost eS-
clusively among sailors says that he does not
sell one-half as much chewing tobacco today
as he did ten years ago, and not more than
one third as much as twenty years ago. Said
one of them few days ago:
THE falling off in the use of chewing to-
bacco is a great deal more apparent here in
the east than it is in the south and west, but
1t is noticeable everywhere. One cause for
the decadence of the habit is undoubtedly
due TO the growth of public opinion that it is
an uncleanly habit 1t is hard also for a man
addicted to the habit to keep from showing
evidences of it on his clothes and person.
But the principal causes are right here:
There is a great deal more dyspepsia and
stomach trouble in the country now than
there used to be, and no person with a weak
stomach can chew tobacco The action of
the tobacco juice, which trickles down the
throat Of q chewer is to paralyze the action
Of the stomach. 1t will accomplish that long
before tobacco smoke will leave any percepti-
ble effect upon the lungs Then, again, the
cigarette has done great deal to put an end
to the chewing habit.
