were not that kind. ] knew too Wen
what il was. and looking over my
shoulder could see the headlight OF the
express daring up dangerously near II
was bearing down on us at the rate oil
sixty miles an hour. Ahead was long
bridge. and beyond that a deep cut
which measured one hundred feet II an
inch. 1t seemed as if there was moth
ing but cold graves awaiting us. MY
heart refused to beat. my blood settled
in my boots, and felt as if ! was losing
nv reason. just then the woods rang
with the whistle for down brakes from
the express. At last they had seen US,
but on they came. There were no air
brakes then. A voice said: Jump!
Heaven seemed 10 have sent the mes
sage. We sprang from the cara
crash and all was over The next in
slant every thing was dark. When ]
opened my eve again ! saw the lantern
OF the conductor OF the express
near my face. He was bending
over me anxiously. Then heard the
voice OF one whom ! would have will
lingly died for, and it was the happiest
sound | ever heard, for il assured me
that my sweetheart was all right.
Stunned and bruised as ! was, ! was
carried to the rear car of the train. and
at twelve o'clock that night we reached
my sisters house in Green Bay. There
the casual visitor would have found a
group of happy and expectant young
people making merry. while the old
people gathered around the good-faced
preacher, and in an adjoining room the
wedding feast was spread. We did not
let our little mi.hap on the hand-car
interfere with the consummation Of our
happiness. but were at once made one
and received the congratulations Of our
friends. The years that have passed
since have been happy ones for wife
and myself Four girls and two boys
have come to fill our home, and gray
have taken the place Of our raven locks.
Still we are very happy, and We want
all the boys TO come to see us. EbeR

The Nations Unknown Dead.

One Of the most touching atures Of
the Arlington Cemetery. perhaps the
most touching is the monument to the
"Unknown Dead. II is only a few
steps from the site lected for Sheri-
dams tomb, and around 1t lie over two
thousand soldiers who are unidentified
and who were only unknown deal. I"
1t is a sad and startling fact that Of the
more than quarter Of a million dead
who sleep in the National cemeteries Of
the country almost one-half are ''un-
known. There are eighty-two Ma
tional cemeteries scattered through the
country In these rest 1924, 600 graves,
14S.000 bear the sad word unknown. d"
This is especially true Of of those in the
extreme Southern States. In Mississippi.
for instance there are buried over 25.-
600, and Of this number loss than 1000
are identified. Another curious fact:
Did il ever occur to you that most of
the men who gave their lives TO prevent
certain States from seeding now sleep
in the soil OF those Statesp ANY way ii
is fact There are in Virginia seven
teen National cemeteries, which con-
tain almost 10000 dead, Of whom over
one-half are unknown. OF the eighty
two National cemeteries Of the country
three-fourths are in the States which
were either secretly or openly in rebel
lion, and OF the S24, 600 dead who lie in
National cemeteries about POO. 600 lie in
what was rebel soil. MilWdukee Sen

FOR OUR YOUNG READERS.
A RHYME FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

Oh, I'll tell you a story that nobody knows,
OF ten little fingers and ten little toss
OF two pretty eyes and one little nose,
And where they all went one Gay.
Oh. the little round nose smelled something
sweet.
So sweet it must surely be nice to eat.
And patter away went two little feet
Out OF the room one day.
Ten little toes climbed up on a chair,
Two eyes peeped over big shelf where
Lay lovely cake, all frosted and far,
Made by mamma that day.
The mouth grew round and the eyes grew big
At taste OF the sugar, the spice. the fig;
And ten little fingers went dig, dig, dig
Into the cake that day
And when mamma kissed curly head,
Guiding It coz ly up bed;
81 wonder was there mouse" she said,
''out on the shelf to-dayy'
"Oh mamma. yes" and laugh of glee
L Ike fairy bells rang mernly-
'But the little bit of a mouse was me,
Out on the shelf to day.

"A judge was recently called to de-
eide as to what was necessary" The
rents from certain valuable lands are
held in trust ''for the necessary occa-
sions" of parish church. 1t lately
built a beautiful spire. and the trustees
demurred to paying for it on the ground
that it was unnecessary. The Judge
decided that though the salaries of the
organist, the organ blower, the bell
ringer and the singers were not neces-
sary. the salaries of the sexton, the
verger, and the tuner Of the organ
were. and that the spire. being the
place where it is usual to hang the
bells, should be considered ''neces-
sary," and accordingly the money
should be paid from the trust.

No Leap Year i'm 1900.

From the Raleigh IN. c. News-Observer
Although the year 1900 will be divisible by
four without remainder. it will not be leap
year. Twelve years must elapse before the in
teresting event takes place, but it was just the
same in 1900 and 100, but not in 1900, for that
was leap year. and the year 1000 will be
leap year Also Why this should be is a prob
lem. To explain in detail would be tiresome
task, but it rests Oh the principle that differ
ence of IL minutes per day exists between
actual time and calendar time. Thus year is
computed at 1854 days. three years being 365
days long and the fourth year $3.50 days In
fact the year is 365 days, hours and As min
utes long, or IL minutes short of $685. days.
The leap year every four years is
said to have been an invention of Julius Cse-
sar's. To allow for this difference of eleven
minutes per year, one leap year was dropped
every hundred years. But this was found not
to be exact, and Pope Gregory XIII in 1882
made an improvement and decreed that every
centurial year Invisible by four should be a
leap year. Thus, by emitting the leap year for
three centurial years and letting it remain as
usual on the fourth centurial year, system is
obtained so close that i would take thousands
of years to make up another days difference in
time. The calendar time is still not exact
automatically, but no change will be nee
essary for 1000 years, it will not fall to the
share of the present generation to correct the
discrepancy

A Solid Endorsement.

Washington Correspondence Philadelphia Record
Gen. Russell A. Alger, Of Michigan, who, by
the way, expects to succeed Gen. BENZ. Harri-
son. of Indiana, in the White House, has charge
of Mrs. Logan's little estate of forty thousand
odd dollars 1t could not be in better hands,
for he is honest and successful in business. h
has so invested it that it yields Mrs. Logan a
handsome interest, and has so secured it that
she simply cannot lose it unless Detroit falls
into the river and disappears in Lake Erie. A
friend of mine was in Ayers Office in Detroit
day or two after Alger received the funds
from Mrs. Logan when a prominent banker
came in.
"How would you like to discount that?''
asked Alger, handing him a note for $4,000.
Mrs Logan's order, signed "Alger & Smith

do it in minute" promptly responded the
banker.
II thought you would" said Alger, who could
borrow half a million ON his own personal note
any day in the week but Sunday.
"But just to make sure got few indorse-
ments on the back SO that the payee needn't
have any trouble about it. Turn it over"
The banker did SO. The back of the note
was simply covered with the names of Detroit
millionaires, beginning with Jas. p. Mcmillan,
Michigan's next United States Senator. The pay
ment of that $4,000 was secured by from fifty
to one hundred million dollars.

Hiyh-Priced DOES.

From the New York Times.
There seems to be no abatement in the st.
Bernard craze among people who have fancy
for dogs. These dogs have attained a money
value beyond that of even finely-bred horse,
and at the recent Sheffield (Eng.) st. Bernard
club show the sum of l.6)0 guineas, about
$4,000. was refused for fourteen-mOnth-old
dog. who is said to be a more perfect type of
his class than is joe X. Emmet's $4,000 Pin
limmon. who has heretofore been considered
the champion of the champions. This new
conner to fame is called Sir Belvedere, is a
son of Nero III and Bena and is owned by
Il. II. Green. a chemists assistant in Liver
pool. He not only won all the open-class
prizes, but took the 100-guinea challenge cup
from the very PICK of England's CHAMPIONS
The price offered and refused for the dog is
said to be the greatest ever offered for an exhi-
bition dog. Mr.. Green bred him. and up to the
last European advices had absolutely refused
to place price for him. A puppy was sold at
the last show for 200 guineas, and 100 guineas
is a common price to be paid for the young
sters in England. Mr.. Goodman, of the Mo-
hawk kennels in Chicago. recently offered $500
for Burns, son of champion Valentine and
Minnie, the latter a daughter of Rector and
Countess. Burns was whelped in May. 1885,
stands 3315 inches, and weighs a tribe less
than ECO pounds. He will probably come to
this country in company with Valens. a four
year-old son of champion Valentine and Chief
tainess, daughter of champion Beauchief and
st. Michael, smooth-cOated puppy by Austin
Friars all three of which Mr.. Goodman has
purchased for breeding PURPOSES

The Oyster War.
ANOTHER BATTLE IN WHICH TIE DREpaERs Ar,
AGAIN VICTORIOUS

ANOTHER BATTLE IN WHICH TIE DREpaERs ARE
AGAIN VICTORIOUS.
Another battle with the oyster dredgers has
taken place, and according to special in the
Baltimore american, the Choptank river oyster
police sloop Eliza Hayward has been badly
beaten. The modus operandi OF. attack of the
dredgers was to get to the windward of the
Hayward, surround her cross-fire, DESTROY her
rigging, and sink her, if possible. Can't.
Bridges anticipated their move, however. and
put his sloop about, and when within about 400
yards of each other he ordered his men to open
fire on the pirates. The boats kept up the fir
ing and advancing until they were only about
200 yards apart. The Hayward's ammunition
was fast giving out, and as her shots were not
felt by the enemy, Capt. Bridges thought it
best TO set sail for Oxford where he arrived
late in the evening: The dredgers pursued for
some distance and kept up firing; but although
they had out-fought the police sloop, they could
not out-sail her, and they soon gave mp the
chase. 1t il easy TO perceive that the small po-
lice sloops are no match for the giant dredgers,
and unless something 10 done, and done quickly,
the oyster bars in tine Choptank and elsewhere
VIII soon be completely devastated.

The Custom of kissing.


IS IT'S certain" writes Steele of kissing, that
'nature was its author, and that it began with
the first courtship." Tracing its history back
ward into bygone centuries, there is abundant
evidence to prove that it is, of all acts, as uni
versal as it is ancient, having been associated
in most countries with various ceremonial rites
and customs. Thus, in early times, the act of
kissing was regarded as a sign of homage or
respect, and. in Homer, Priam is represented
kissing the hands of Achilles when supplicating
for the body of Hector. Abiding to the prac-
tice in the old Roman days, Disrael. in his
'Curiosities of Literature" remarks how 1.-The
great respect paid to the tribunes, consuls or
dictators Obliged individuals to live with them
in more distant and respectful manner; and,
instead of embracing them as they did for
if allowed to kiss their hands. Under the en-
perors kissing hands became an essential duty,
even for the great themselves" Like most social
CUSTOMS we find this one, under a variety of
forms, prevailing in other countries. survivals
of which remain at the present day. Some
gathered from the fact that in the literature of
the past it is constantly spoken of as an ordi-
nary occurrence of daily life. Thus, when
Cavendish the well-known biographer of Car
dinal Wolsey, happened to visit French no
bleman at his chateau. the lady on entering the
room with her train of attendant maidens, ad-
dressed him with these words: ''For as much
as We be an Englishman whose custom it is in
your country to kiss all ladies and gentle
women without offense, and although it be not
so in this realm. yet will be so bold to kiss
you, and 30 shall all my maidens." BY means
maidens." As might be expected the custom
did not find favor in the eyes of the conscien-
tious moralists of the time, many of whom de-
nounced the fashion IN no unmeasured terms
