The railroad bridge over the Maui
NEE at Toledo is so made that the draw
is entirely too narrow for safe passage
of boats of the width of the Pastime to
pass through safely in the dark. The
railroad company, by law, cannot OBJ
struct navigable water, nor impede the
passage of any boat or water craft
desirous of going up or down the river,
nor can they render their passage less
safe by reason of any defect or want
of width in the draw. The river was
there before the railroad, and our con-
stitutions, ordinances and laws require
it to be always kept open for the con-
venient and safe passage of all water
crafts. The Pastimo could, II she saw
fit, run up to it and demand that the
draw be made safe and refuse TO run
through until this was done and collect
damage by way OF dcmurrage for all
hindrance and delay. just put n loi
of old sailors ut the bridge, let then
see this draw SO they can testify that
il is too narrow for her safe passage and
then compel the road TO widen the
draw Perhaps strong electric lights
might do as il Is. This boat in dark
nights Or in heavy winds is in danger
Of colliding with the bridge. Notify
| the railroad company at once 80 that IN
case OF accident the company be held
liable. This is the opinion of some o
our best attorneys. The boat company
should see to this ut once.

A WORD OF WARNING
Influence of the sunday school

Its wide influence is beyond estimate,
when Africans becomes civilized and
christianized and its full history written
the Sunday School will stand forth as
a conspicuous factor. 1t may be traced
back to David Hogg the good old Scot
tish Sunday School teacher of the in-
trepid African explorer, David Living
stone. He in turn inspired Henry NJ.
Stanley and they have made the way
clear for the establishment Of mission
work.
1t was that influence also that estab-
lishcd the frat mission work in Japan
with DIR. Brown as the first American
missionary in that country. The mother
Of the learned missionary divine and
her infant Sunday School exerted that
unseen influence upon the boy that de-
veloped To manhood rich in spiritual
knowledge and led the first American
missionary labors in Japan.

Come" she cried. 30 do make haste!"
He paused only to blow q small willow
whistle which hung on his steel watch
guard.
'That will bring my workman" he
said. "It's a signal we have agreed
upon among ourselves for just such an
emergency as this. You and Jones, jamie,
shall go around to the back door, Robins
will watch the front and I'll go and

jamie glanced with shy admiration into
his set, determined face. After all, 1t
was something to be u man.
The little campaign was skillfully con-
Quoted. The two thieves were taken red
handed; the diamond rings were deliv-
cred into jamie Barr's keeping, and the

Twill you let me be your carpenter

promise nj day to be my wife?"
The words had risen almost involun'
tarily to his lips as he held her hand in
his-the words he so longed yet dreaded
to speak.
And jamie hung her head and colored
like q carnation, and said, ''She would
see." And Ralph Parsons knew that he
had won the day.

Haymak{ne in Finland.

may y AA Mo
A curious way of making hay Is very
generally adopted by the Firms. Poor
men who own no meadows have long
been accustomed to cut what grass they
can find in the forest glades and other
waste lands. Owing to the lack of roads
and farmsteads the hay was stuffed
among the branches of neighboring trees
to await the winter frosts and snow when
it could easily be carried off by sledges
After a wet season some farmers noticed
that this was actually better in quality
than that which they themselves had
made from much better grass. The wild
crop, so to call it., had dried much better
in the tree branches exposed to a fires
circulation of air than the rich heritage
which had lain long o. the sodden
ground. Hence it occurred to them tc
make temporary trees upon which theil
W crops might be dried.
This experiment was attended with
such success that the plan has been widely
initiated and bids fair entirely to sup
plant the old fashioned methods. After
the moving is done a number of poles
about ten feet in length and provided
with long transverse pegs are set up al
intervals and the grass is loosely heaped
upon them. The result is said to be ex.
cellent. Even in wet weather only a
small portion forming the outside of the
pile is discolored, while the inner por.
tons, exposed to the air beneath and pro.
tected from the rain above, are dried in
perfect condition. Moving can be car
ried on in spite Of wind and rain, and
when NICE the grass is placed upon the
drying poles it may be left without feal
of serious damage until the weather
changes.-Mark Lane Express. ~

In a recent lecture NJ. Romanes is re-
ported as having strongly denied the ex-
istence of even a trace of any feeling of
the ludicrous in the renowned chimpan-
zee sally" 1t may be worth while to
record a small fact observed by me
lately, tending, l think. to favor an OPP
posite view.
Being alone with a friend in Sally's
house, we tried to get her to obey the
commands usually given by the keeper.
The animal came to the bars of the
cage to look at us, and, adopting the
keepers usual formula, I said: "Give me
two straws, Sally" At first she ap-
peared to take no notice, although she
had been eying is rather eagerly
before. l repeated the request with
no further result; but on a Sec
ond or third repetition she suddenly
took up a large bundle of straw from the
floor and thrust it through the bars at
us, and then sat down with her back to
us. Our request was perhaps unreason-
able, seeing that we had no choice NOR
sells of banana with which to reward
her. She did not, however, seem i'll
tempered at u presumption, and the
next instant was as lively as ever. It
seems to me that her action on this occa-
sion certainly came very near to an K
preston of humor. Rather sarcastic
humor perhaps it was, but she certainly
appeared to take pleasure in the specta-
Gle of something i~ncongruous, and this
surely lies at the base of all of the
ludicrous.-Nature.

A Valuable TimeDiecc.

Chief of Police Packard, of Hartford,
Conn, carries a watch that is indeed a
novelty, as well as a valuable timepiece.
Without opening the watch, the time of
day or night to the minute can be ascer-
tanned. By pushing down a spring on
the outer edge of the case, the hour is
given by the striking of a miniature
gong, as are also the quarter hours and
minutes. If, in the night, the owner
wishes to know the time, it is learned in
a very few seconds, and is found out In
this way: If it is six minutes to 3 o'clock,
n of three little gongs will strike two;
two gongs then strike alternately three
strokes, each giving the three quarter
hours, and another gong strikes nine
two hours, three quarters and nine min
utes, making the exact time six minutes
to 8. The chief said that eleven years
ago the watch would cost $1,000, but at
the present time the watches are sold for

Pickings and Stealings.

It is as good as settled that we are to
have a Worlds fair in America in 1892.
But all we'll wishers of Il fair fame
must hope that 10 such robbery and ex-
tortion will disgrace us as has charac-
terized Paris this summer A highway
robber has not less conscience. it seems,
than q French hotel keeper or hackman.
The skinning process has gone on in
Paris at such a pace that at last the gov
a=cment appointed officials to make the
roundSu f the eating houses and arrest
the worst of the thieves. 1t is Ameri-
cans, always Americans, who suffer
most from the extortions. All over Eu-
rope the American is considered the law
full prey of those who make their living
of the public. 1t is said that Americans
who live in good style at the Paris hotels
during the exposition must pay SIS to
$50 a day for simple food and lodgings.
In the name of -decency let the au-
thorities see to it that we have none of
this sort of thing at our exposition.
Profit enough can be made from the
throng of visitors at fair rates.
