The Codes Decadence in kentucky.

An indignant citizen of Lexington
went TO the Transcript Office, abused
the local editor, Mr.. Moore, and struck
him in the face, says the Louisville
Courier-JournGl. The latter being a
stronger man than his assailant, SIM
ply caught the angry individual by the
wrists and held him till he cooled
down. The next day the newspaper
man wrote a personal statement about
the affair, saying:
81 did what for years | have tried
to school myself to do if the occasion
ever offered. l would not have the
| memory of having struck that man,
and thus have admitted the futility of
the argument of my whole life for a
very considerable amount of money,
and the happiness of conscience that
| believe | would enjoy for having
done as | have is all that have hoped
for"
All this is in curious contrast to the
action which the old code or the I'M
written understanding which has pre-
vailed among men of spirit in this
state so long would have dictated. Has
public sentiment reached the point
where Mr.. Moore's conduct will be
applauded and held as an equally high
proof of courage as if he had thrashed
the man who attacked him? One
thing is sure: Kentucky ideas on this
subject are undergoing a change.

The Heroism Of the Gar,

A Russian paper gives the following
description of the behavior of the ear
during the recent accident to the inn
perial train: s.But our ear, our en-
peror, what a man and what golden
heart! All those saved testified how,
under pouring rain. knee-deep in the
cold mud, bleeding terribly from both
arms and hands, he helped personally
to rescue the dying and the wounded
for over two hours. his colossal strength
doing him goodly service on that day.
They tell how he spoke words of con-
ISOLATION TO those sufferers still alive,
pledged his word of honor to the dying
to care for their families as long as
they lived. A priest was fetched in a
hurry from an adjacent village. All
the survivors ciamored loudly, "A
mass. Il thanksgiving service, for the
escape of our father, the czarr Nor
cried the emperor in a laundering
voice, the mass for the dead; first of
all the prayers for the wounded You
should have seen the whole august
family falling upon their kuees and
praying fervently for the dead and the
relief of the wounded, before ever Civ
ing thought of thanks for their own
escape, and praying for the salvation
OF Russia, not for their own"

The Baby at the Photograph.

Edison has recorded on his phono-
graph the indignant wall of his baby.
At the laboratory one day the inventor
complained that the baby disturbed
him so that he could not work at
home.
''Why don't you put her at the phon-
ograph?" inquired MIR. Wangeman, his
assistant, mischievously.
MIR. Edison made no reply, but the
next time his heir apparent did cry he
was ready for her. In fact, he grew
very impatient because she behaved re-
markably well, and didn't cry within
his hearing for week. At last his
time came. The infant got her toes
tangled up in her stocking and uttered
a plaintive wall. The father seized her,
thrust her nose to the funnel and set
the motor agoing. Alas! the flying
she stopped crying and began to
laugh. Mr.. Edison was disguised. He
shook her violently and screamed into
her ears, but she only chuckled and
cooed. He was in despair. Happy
thought! He would pinch her. He
did pinch her, and she expressed her
displeasure with vociferous bowls.
The racket woked no the nurse in
the next room, and she flew in at the
door in terror.
"What have you been doing now?'
she Indignantly demanded.
THAT baby wouldn't cry for my
monograph, and | just pinched her
so she would"
Il never was so amused in my life,"
said Mr.. Edison afterward. But I've
got that baby's howls right here on
this wax cylinder" Copies were sent
to London, and they have since been
travelling over Europe, but Mrs. Edi-
son does not know it.-Net0 York

A SURFEIT OF BEAUTY.-It is doubt
full if there is any one state in America
containing so many pretty women as
California and any one containing SO few
as New York. As one walks down
Kearpy or Montgomery streets in San
Francisco, one becomes almost surfeited
by the unrelieved ranks of pretty girls,
with their round and plump figures, their
vival coIoring and delicate regular feat
ures. They are frequently painted, but
they ere triumphs of nature over art for
all that, and could well afford to discard
the rouge pots. They do not dress as
well as they might, but their figures ere
so delightful; they look such thorough
women, instead of suggesting stuffed
fashion plate, that one is willing TO for
give San Francisco her lack of good
dressmakers. -Gertrude franklin Ather-
ton in San Francisco Argonaut.

An American Girls Adventure.

American girls who live abroad un.
chaperoned are often subjected to in
dlgnitles of a startling kind. 1t is not
usual, however, that cabman
furnishes material for gossipy story;
yet, one young woman had an adven-
ture with man of this class which she
will not soon forget. She is the
daughter of promineat politician who
has held many offices of distinction,
aud is spending the season in Berlin.
Calling carriage, in the early hours
of the morning after brilliant ball,
the young woman started home. 1t is
customary in Berlin, when sending a
girl home in n cab, to require ticket,
which the jehu is compelled to give,
upon which are his number and the
price of the trip, and which, in case of
any accident, can be used in evidence.
The escort of the American girl had
neglected this. The journey led her
through lonely part of the Thiergar-
ten, where even in daytime people sell
dom walk. When in the darkest cor
ner the car suddenly stopped, the driv-
er descended from his box, opened the
door, and thus addressed the Young
lady: ''Miss, l have often heard that
kiss from the high ladies tastes bet
ter than one from our people, and am
going to know for myself"
With that, he stretched out his
hands, covered with their buckskin
gloves, clasped the girl about the
neck, and drew her. screaming, to-
ward him. Resistance Was impossible,
her cries were unheard, and the coach
mans lips touched her own With the
aggravating remark, Not a bit!" he
closed the door, and continued the
journey, assisting his victim to alight
when the destination was reached.
The young lady rushed into the house,
not wait ng to pay her fare, and spent
hours scrubbing her lips. She had no
means of identifying the scoundrel and
he escaped unpunished. Berlin Letter.

College Eraternities.

am often asked by anxious papas,
What good is secret society for

question suggests the idea that the
papa is not likely to have had any per-
sonal experience either of the one or
the other; but the answer is plain.
The secret college fraternity organs0a-
tons of the better class have come to
be an established power in American
colleges, and in proportion to their
merits they exercise an influence for
good or evil upon the career OF every
student that is, in the average, not
much less important than that exerted
by Alma Mater herself. As an in

The Chinese are the greatest egg
eaters in the world, according to the
New York Ledger. They raise more
poultry than all the other nations of
the earth taken together, and have a
way of keeping eggs for forty years or
more in sound condition. The older
the eggs the more valuable IL ey are,
and it is a trick of the Chinese grocer
to ring in fresh eggs on his customers
whenever he has a chance to cheat
them in that way. Our government
should at once instruct our consular
agents in China to discover what this
valuable method for keeping eggs is
for the benefit of American poultry
