good, but its reputation
for 90 years proves it
never fails in doing good.

Queer Beliefs.

The Fjian cannibal's emotions have refer
ence for the greater part to food, SO he wor-
ships the god Matawaloo, who has eight
stomachs and is always eating
The Tongans have very curious dogma to
account for day and night being twenty
four hours long. 1t used to be less; the sun
used to go down too quick. So one day a man
caught it with a moose, and it had to go
slower thereafter
The ancient Peruvians believed that the sun
once came down to the earth and laid two
eggs and then went back again. From thess
two eggs men sprung.
The American Indians had a dogma that
the sun was the one supreme god, and the
moon was his wife. One tribe inhabiting q
fearfully hot district worshiped the moon
alone. saying that they had no use for the
sun.
In the days of Columbus scientific dogmas
asserted: If ship should reach India she
could never get back again, because the TO
| tundity Of the globe would present kind OF
mountain. up which it would be impossible te
sail even with the most favorable wind

The Rrakeman,s Loss.

There is danger that the modern passenger
brakeman will die of ennui On the Fort
Wayne road there is now in process of testing
device which is to be operated by com
pressed air from the engineers cab, and
which is, in effect, noiseless annunciator,
quietly informing the passengers, through
their eyes, not their ears, of the name of the
next stopping place. This, if generally adopt
ed, will rob the brakeman of the dear Joy of
shouting in an unknown tongue. One by one
this officials duties have passed away. A
decade ago he twisted the hand brake as Wig
orously, and oftener, than did his co-worker
on the freight train. Air and the engineer
now perform that arduous duty Now comes
the silent. air operated station annunciator.
There are a few privileges, however, left to
the passenger brakeman, which the man In
the engine cannot take away. There are
pretty girls to help on and off, fat women,
babies, old men and packages unnumbered &c
look after. But the vocal training of the
brakeman will be totally neglected, and be
will at times sigh for the days when he could
relieve his feelings by splitting One passen.

An Uncommon Royal Spectacle.

Apropos of grand dukes, it may be inter
sting to state that the cZar has recently
given the rare spectacle of an autocratic SOW
sreign freely renouncing some of his privi-
eges and reducing the amount of moneys at
;ributed to members of his family out of the
tate budget. The empress, who received an
lually COZ, 600 rubles-a ruble is nearly equal
20 eighty cents-will get only 900, 900 here
after, and in case of widowhood her dowry
viii be reduced by one-half, if she resides out
tide of Russia Instead of 800. 900 rubles, the
zarowitz win have only 10000; and his
wife 80, 900 instead of $50 900, as now. On her
husbands death she would get pension of
l00.000 rubles instead of 500, 900, if she re-
sides within the empire, and only so, 900 il
Ease of her residing abroad The grand dukes
brothers of the reigning car, who received
loo, 600 rubles as pension until now, will gel
no more than $1,000. The daughters and
granddaughters of the emperor will receive
from the state dot of 900 900, and nothing
more. Each son of the car will get at his
majority appanages bringing determined
income and ,000, 600 rubles toward the build
ing and furnishing of palace. Similar re
auctions have been ordered by the car in re
gard to money appropriations made to othel

The exhibition of The Battle of Get
tysburg" at Hsrper's theatre last night
was witnessed by large audience and
the descriptive lecture accompanying the
programme by Gen St. Clair Mulhollsnd,
formed very pleasant and instructive
entertainment and was full of thrilling in
terest, especially to Buford Post 24S, G
A. R., under whose auspices it was pre-
septed. The paintings wildly portray
the most stirring and striking incidents
of that terrible three days fight which
constituted the most terrible battle oil
modern history. Gen. Mullholland ID
thoroughly posted in al the details of the
stubborn struggle in which the heroic
boys in blue finally triumphed. though
with appalling sscrifices, and his accom-
panying descriptive discourse was yer,
intelligent and heartily appreciated.

pm. National Prison.

The Union has returned TO its old
tricks of misrepresenting the ARGUS in its
attempts to maligp it. This may be due
in part to the morning papers character
istic villifying disposition. and in part to
it's ignorance of facts, also essentially
characteristic of its disposition. The
ARGUS is not hostile to the location OF
one Of the proposed national prisons
they are not strictly military prisons, as
the Union holds-in Rock Island. The
ARGUS has simply sustained the views OF
Mayor McConochie and of Mr.. Fred Hass
that the prison should not be substituted
on the island of Rock Island for the pro-
posed gun factory and should not be put
there at all if it is to bring with IT a
source of illegitimate competition with
local labor. That is as far as the
ARGUS has expressed itself and it has
plainly stated that the results OF Con-
gresham Gest's investigation in pursu-
ance of the councils resolution should
afford opportunity TO judge as to whether
the proposed prison is worthy of encour-
agement or opposition. The locating of
one of the prisons in or near the city or
on one of the islands other than the gov
eminent island. is an entirely different
thing and could not work any harm to
home labor and would be attended by
more or less advantage to the city and
should therefe re receive hearty endorses
ment and support. The matter of lo-
eating on the Island of Rock Island is
another thing. and an investigation
should be m ade before action 10 taken.
That Is the ARGUS position. Is it plain
enough for the morning nInny?
