GOOD FRIDAY.-To-day the last Fri
day of the holy season of Lent is
rec gnized throughout the civilized
world as a day of atonement and
prayer, as it is the anniversary of the
crucifixiion of the Saviour, and is thus
termed in allusion 10 the benefits con-
ferred upon the world by His death.
The s xons termed it " Long Friday"
because of the length of the religious
services on that day; the Germans
term it +" St Her Freitag," ON account
of the stiffness that prevails in the
churches on the anniversary of that
memorable event, and in some parts
of Germany they term it "Char Fri
day." which signifies the Friday of
Penitence. In the Catholic church i.
is the only day in the year on which
Mass is not celebrated. On the day be-
fore q host is consecrated, which is
kept in q secure place Saturday night
aid consumed by the priest on Good
Fr day. The ceremony Of kissing the
cross rometimes called the Ad ration
of the Cross, is performed by the
clergy and reople. In England this
act was anciently called " Creeping TO
the Cross" In some countries the
image of Judas Isc riot was dressed
up, placed in q public square and all
manner of indignities imposed upon it,
such IS the people cursing him, spat-
ting at him and heaving all manner
n.u- eating substances at the in
animate object whereby they showed
their detests tion for the traitor. Some
years ago, and it is yet in many par s
of the country a common occurrence
for the people on tLat day to 60 about
with pockets full OF "hot cross buns"
and upon meeting a neighbor or friend
exchanging them as a mark OF good
fellowship and friendly feeling, but
this side of the Rocky Mountains this
practice has long been looked upon as
the last remnant of old superstition
and is rapidly falling into disu-e. Ii.

along the shore OF the New England

The cleverness Of an English rascal has ex-
cited the envy Of all the rascals in Paris,
who, with typical Parisian egotism, have long
claimed to be the cleverest rascals in the
world. The English rascal in question was a
professional London pickpocket Shortly
before the French exposition opened be
bought a small hotel in Paris on the install
ment plan. The purchase price Of the hotel
was 60,0O0 francs, and the first and only in
stallment which the Englishman paid was
1900 francs The Englishman bought few
pieces Of cheap English furniture for his new
house, equipped an English bar, and then ad-
vertised far and wide for English boarders
during the exposition. His prices were so
low that be soon filed his house.
Every one of his dodgers was warned by a
placard over his bed that the landlord would
not be responsible for the loss Of any valua-
bles which had not been deposited In the hotel
safe. OF course the safe deposits increased
with the popularity Of the hotel, and both
reached high water mark two days before the
second installment Of 1900 francs on the pur-
chase price of the hotel fell due. There was
then g., 600 francs worth Of British jewelry
and bank notes in the safe. The pickpocket
landlord stole every sou Of it. He concealed
his plumber in his quarters in another part Of
Paris, dyed his hair, shaved his beard, put on
a French suit Of clothes and began picking
pockets at the exposition. He was caught by
the police with his hand In the pocket Of an
English member Of parliament, and was
locked up A police investigation led to a
revelation of his history and the recovery Of
the jewelry and money which had been
given to him for safe teeping.-ANew York

The abuse Of the ego is the crime Of the
age. am prepared to demonstrate that at
least nine-tenths Of tho prevailing sleepless-
ness Of which we hear so much Is due to nerv-
business directly traceable to the optic nerve.
We are wearing our eyes over books and
desks and types, and the effect shows itself
not only in the appearance Of the organ it.

brain. have discovered a remedy for sleep
lessness, and for the reason that I have mover
known it to fail am fortified in my opinion
that the whole trouble arises from overstrain
Of the eyes. Take a soft cloth-say piece OF
mapped towel-and fold in it two small pieces
Of ice at a proper distance apart to exactly
cover the eyes when the cloth is laid across
them. Then lie down, adjust the cloth with
the ice over tho closed eyes, and you will be

Quickest Trip on Record.

The papers Of the country recently con-
tanned a dispatch to the effect that runaway
train on the Duluth and Iron Range railroad
had attained ths-frightful speed of 40 miles
an hour before being wrecked. An interest
ing account Of the wild ride is given in a pri-
vate letter by Superintendent Sidney T. Pope,
Of the road, formerly a Boston man. He
wrote to. a friend as follows;'
II had been up the road the day before,
and coming back had my car hitched on to
the rear Of the ore train. All the cars had
been newly equipped with air bEekes, which
worked all right until we reachedthe big hill
which extends back from here Two Harbors,
Mich.l about twelve miles When we were
about three miles from the summit the air
gave out and the train ran away. was
asleep at the time It started. and when we
had gone about three miles the conductor
woke me up. We were. going then faster than
ever rode before, and, knowing that the
train was sure to leave the track SOON we cut
of our car. As soon as we set our brakes the
train was out Of sight like a fash.
1--WE followed up slowly, and in a bout enc
and a half miles found them in a ditch The
fireman and head brakeman, both Of whom
were on the engine, were not scratched even;
the engineer had one leg broken, but it is do
ing nicely It is wonder that the engineer
was not killed, as the rods on the engine
broke and smahed the cab almost to pieces.
He thinks he fell through the bottom OF the
cab just as the engine left the track. The
machinery Of the engine is most Of it liter
ally burned up owing to the friction Of the
great speed, and the engineer says that ths
last part Of the way the lower part Of his en-,
gine and the track looked Ikea streak OF
fire OF course it was only guess, but I
don't think the statement made that the
train was running ITO miles was much Of an
Two-thirds Of the cars werea
total wreck. If the. speed was 40 miles an
hour aud the train went but one mile and a
half after the car wascut on it may be called
a close call for the occupants Of the car. -

Emigrants to Brazil are warned by theexpe-

Up to now the failure of British immigration
in Brazil has been appalling. Cananea had

only three British families there in the forest
without any road in any direction. Assam

the capital Of Paranea, has now only about 100
British colonists out Of 1000 who were plant

having been transported back to England
