A Rad FRIGHT.

While riding in a Sixth avenue L
road train last evening l was more
than astonished at the appearance of
the conductor. His face presented
that of man scarcely 30 years, vet
his neatly trimmed mustache and
hair were snowy white. Between
stations he told me his name was
Arthur Chalmers. -Four years ago.
while in Baltimore, he attended fu.
neral, the interment taking place in
the vaults of church which had not
been opened for years. The funeral
was the opportunity he longed for, as
he wanted to explore the place. Hav.
ing provided himself with candle and
matches, he remained behind to ex-
plore. The door had been closed and
firmly fastened on the outside when
the mourners and friends had depart
ed, and he found himself prisoner.
The horrors of that night and next
day, when he was released, turned his
hair from jet black to its present
snowy whiteness. Even now, Con-
ductor Chalmers never likes to talk
about his experience. New York Star.

Like and Unlike.

There are three things" said an
old philosopher, (which woman
should be like and at the same time
totally unlike.
In the first place she should be like
a snail, because the snail is always to
be found in his house. And she
shouldn't resemble this singular crea-
ture, because he puts everything that
he has in the world upon his back.
Again, she should be like an echo,
because the echo speaks only when it
is spoken to, and unlike it, because
the echo is always bound to have the
last word.
"Once more, a woman should be
like the town clock, in that she should
keep regular hours, and be exact ir
all things. And, unlike the town
clock, she should not let her tongue
be heard throughout the town. "

Over Thirty Thousand Happy People will,
Neither Shop, Artisan Nor Trade.
Lying between Assam and Burmah
is the remote little hill state OF Mani
pur, lately visited by Indian officers,
one OF whom, writing on the forests of
the state in Indian Forests, gives an ex-
traordinary account of Imphail, the
capital 1t is situated in what appears
dense forest.
Neither spires nor chimneys cut
the blue sky, nor is smoke observed to
ascend from the sylvan scene of the
capital. Nothing, in fact, bespeaks of
the busy home of $4,000 to 100000
people, and yet hidden away among
these trees is the palace of the raiah,
and hard by are the houses of his fa-
vorites, each family having a large
inclosure around the homestead. I'm
phail may thus be described as city
Of villages, or rather suburban resi-
dences, around the palace. Straight,
wide roads, lined with trees. frequently
intersecting each other at right angles,
afford the means of communication,
but neither shop, artisan nor wheeled
conveyance exists in the city; indus
Try and skill occur only in the distant
rural homes"
The people of the capital are the
promoted favorites of the ruler, who
have had assigned to them plots of
ground near the palace, and live by
pressing upon the prosecuted agricul-
turists of the state.
The capital of Manipur is a royal
residence dedicated to luxury and
amusement. The streets are crowded
with smiling healthy faces, of which
few bear the marks of toll or labor
There are no schools in the state, and
court favor and promotion are secured
by success in polo. Coinage is I'M
known, and the men are not allowed
to trade; imports and exports, except
in certain articles that yield royal
revenue, are practically prohibited.
The women from the distant vii
lagos repair on certain day to the cap
ital or to other recognized centers.
Each carries on her head neatly made
square basket, in which has been
placed the surplus stock of the home
stead, the labors of her industrial
skill or of her husbands agricultural
knowledge. On reaching the market
place the contents of these baskets are
exposed and bartered, when each re-
turns again to her family, carrying off
the proceeds.
On market days the long, straight
road from Bishenpur to Imphail is
crowded by groups of women hurry
ing to and fro. Each wears an ele-
rautly StriDed dress in bripht colors
made of silk and cotton. The stripes
run along the length, and top and bot
tom are neatly embroided. A long piece
of cloth is cleverly carried across the
breast and just under the armpits. in
stead of round the waist, and is firmly
tucked up, SO that the top embroider-
cd edge falls forward, adding an adj
ditional fold to the garment, while the
bottom edge reaches little below the
knees. The legs and arms are left ex-
posed. The women are the only trad.
ers in the whole ate.-London Times.

Put in the Law.

There is one other thing that ought
to be made penal offense, with a
minimum fine of at least 5000 with
imprisonment of not less than six
months. 1t is that of doubling the
statements of a man who has been
a-hshinG. Fish have been caught
ever since hooks were invented. The
fish were made to be caught They
rather expect it. 1t is no trick at all
to catch fish. And yet as Jones re-
turns from his vacation he is stopped
and asked:

Catch anything" Certainly"
"H'ml Caught some four Founders,

Yes; l caught one which weighed
seven pounds,
"TI'm Goodbye
Jones not only caught one weigh
ing seven pounds, but a number
which weighed five and six pounds
apiece, but he dared not speak of it.
Even with what he did say he felt
that the other man believed him to be
q liar. AS he walked on he felt be-
Titled and degraded, and he made up
his mind to tell bold lie on the next
occasion and declare that he did not
even see fish while he was gone.
Something should be done in this mat
ter, and it cannot be done too soon.
A man should be protected in telling
the truth as we'll as in life and limb

The Glass In Spelling.

The first class in ''spellin'" was a
fair sample of similar classes of the
old ungraded school, comprising about
forty, nearly all sturdy young men
and blooming damsels, old enough to
vote in town meeting. Occasionally
bright boy or girl would be pro-
NOTED to the first class for superior
ability to handle the long, hard words.
Here's the way the children of that
period were taught to spell and pro-
nounce:

Battles and Leaders of the Civil
War;" is the title of a new publication
in four volumes, recently issued by the
Century Publishing company. The pub
LEGATION is for the most part composed OF
contributions from officers on both sides
who took part in the late war, and
although based upon the Century war
articles contain hundreds of pages of en-
tirely new matter. 1t is profusely illus
trated, l,700 engravings being scattered
through the four volumes. IL is one of
the most complete and interesting
stories of the late war ever published,
and contains vivid and accurate descrip-
tions of 1851 engagements on land and
sea. The book is edited by the we'll
known journalists, Robert Underwood
johnson and Clarence Clongh Buell., of
the Century editorial staff The work is
to-day and will remain the standard his
tory of the greatest conflict of modern
times. We cannot recommend it too
earnestly to those who desire to know
what can be honestly said by both sides
concerning the great events of the late
war. The editors themselves in their
preface say that their chief motive is
strict fairness to the testimony OF both
sides and their chief endeavors have been
to prove every important statement by
the official record and from trustworthy
authority, and to spare no pains in the
interest OF elucidation and accuracy. G..
G. Roberts is now taking orders for the
above work. He is an old veteran and
we bespeak for him courteous treatment
and liberal patronage.

Railroad Notes.

A corps of B. & M. surveyors have
been working for some days between
Deadwood and Sturgis.
The Homestake line will be completed
about the 18th, and it is the intention to
Immediately equip the road for passen.
ger and freight tarfic. They are also
extending their lines into the Ruby Ba.
sin district.
Track layers on the Minnesota line are
putting down almost two miles of iron
per day, and if the work is pushed to
completion with the same rapidity that
is now exercised the road will be finished
early next week. The stock yards On
the Belle Fourche are completed which
puts everything in readiness for cattle
shipments as soon as the road reaches
that point. The Redwater bridge will
be 595 feet long.
As soon as this extention is finished
