As to the method Of nationalizing rail-
roads, various opinions may be held. At
present, my own is that the purchase of
the railroads outright would be uncalled
for and unwise, and that the best course
would be the assumption of permanent
Government control of the system. The
present security holders would continue to
receive such reasonable dividends, in n
just valuation of the plants, as might be
earned.
Nationalists propose immediate legisla-
tion looking towards governmental control
of the coal mines Of the country. If the
corporate control of railroads amounts to
system for enabling private persons to tax
the commerce of The country for their pri-
vate profit, corporate control of the coal
mines is in effect a system for enabling
private persons to tax the manufactures of
the country for their private profit.
Nationalist everywhere are agitating
in favor of The assumption and conduct by
municipalities of local public services, such
as transit, lighting, heating and the
water supply, which are now rem
dered by corporations; and they vehem-
emily oppose the granting of any further
franchises for such purposes.
Nationalists advocate laws in every
State making obligatory the education of
children during the whole school year, up
to Il years, forbidding their employment
during the school year, and providing for
the requisite assistance, from public funds,
of children whose parents are unable to
support them daring school attendance.
1t is held by Nationalists that the fact
that child's parents are poor, or even
is not Sufficient reason for con-
demning the child to the lifelong serfdom
of ignorance, and that it is the duty of the
State to see that children are not SO con-
damnad

The priests of Thebes and Memphis
made great advances in the knowledge of
the art of extracting metals, of forming al
loys, and of making vessels and tools out of
them. They distinguished crude gold
from refined gold, and could work that
metal up into a variety of articles. They
fed the hope that they might be able to
obtain it by coloring asemon, or silver,
yellow Of the latter metal they made
money, the value of which was guaranteed
by an impressed image. They extracted
gold and silver from electrum, mineral
containing both substances, but which
presented to their eyes the appearance of a
metal like them. This was what led
them to the notion of transmutation.
The Egyptians designated as chesbet sew
eral kinds of blue or green sapphires col
ored with cobalt or copper. They made in
crustations, amulets, n ecklaces, and various
ornaments of them. They succeeded in
compounding an artificial chesbet resem-
bling the natural stone. A fact worthy
of remark in the matter is, thai this
was done by "the assimilation of a col.
ored substance, . precious stone, an
enamel, vitrifed color, with metals"
This assimilation suggested the new
idea of dyeing for the imitation
of the sapphire rests on the col
oring of a large mass, colorless of itself,
but constituting the vitrifiable basis which
We dye by the aid of small quantity OF
coloring matter. With enamels and col
ored glasses thus prepared the natural
precious stones were reproduced; they
were covered with figures, with objects OF
earth or stone, and were incrusted with
metallic objects" Popular Science Monthly.

sauaws as Fighters.

Many of the squaws and children fought
like the bucks, darting in and out and
firing with cool aim from the opening of
the tepees. Some of these squaws followed
in the retreat, and there were some still
prudent enough to remain out of sight.
While the fight was going on they sang
dirges in the minor key, all believing their
own last hour had come. Captain Smith
was sent around before the fight was ended
to count the tepees for the official report.
The squaws and children fired away at him
so fast, that he told his wife afterward:
"The first count of those lodges was made
pretty quick, as the confounded popping
kept up all the time" The attention of
Captain Yates was attracted to the glitter
ing of something bright in the underbrush.
In moment shot from pistol explained
that the glistening object was the barrel of
pistol and he was warned by his soldiers
that it was a squaw who had aimed for
him and was preparing to fire again. He
then went round short distance to in
vestigate and found a squaw standing in
the stream, one leg broken, but holding
her papoose closely to her. The look of
malignant hate in her eyes was something
little worse than any venomous express
sion he had ever seen. She resisted most
vigorously every attempt to capture her,
though the agony of her shattered limb
must have been extreme. When the found
that her pistol was likely to be taken she
threw it far from her in the stream and
fought fercely again. AT last they sue.
ceeded in getting her papoose and she sur.
rendered She was carried forward to a
tepee, where our surgeon took charge Of
her.-lNrs. Custer.

The Nat,onalists, Programme.

Edward Bellamy explains in the Forum
how the Nationalist would start about
shaping society to bring finally the state
of things described in Looking Back
ward" He would not work any violent
revolution, but he would at once put the
railroads, the telegraph, gas works, water
works, the coal mines, and such general
means of public service under State con-
troll; and these changes, he thinks, would
lead naturally and gradually to the COM
plete naturalization of industry. He
says:
Stated in general terms, the policy pro-
posed by Nationalists is the successive ma
tionalizing or municpalizing of public serv-
ices and branches of industry, and the stimuli
taneous organization of the employees upon
abasis of guaranteed rights, as branches of
the civil service of the country; this pro-
cess being continued until the entire
Transformation shall have been effected.
l think 1 am safe in saying that all
Nationalist agree that the first business
to be nationalized should be the telegraph
and telephone services.
Another extension of the present post

tionalists, as necessary to bring it up to ths
degree of efficiency attained in other ooun

wool Growing on Trees.

In little account of India Herodotus
saws that it is the finest of all the countries
of the East. He says that, with the ex-
ception of the horses, the beasts and birds
of India are the largest in the world. He
says the people get their gold by washing
it out, while other people have to dig for
theirs. And then, as the acme of their
lazy prosperity, he says their wool grows
on trees. "The trees there, in state of
nature, bear woelly fruit, which in beauty
and in strength surpasses the wool from
sheep, and the people of India wear
clothes made from it" This is the first
allusion to cotton made in western liter
ature. 1t is little curious, indeed, that
no distinct reference to it is to be found in
the Bible, which runs back to much
further than Herodotus. The Jews must
have seen cotton awnings and probably
cotton clothing in Babylon, and there
could hardly have been an army from the
East on the soil of Palestine but embodied
many cotton-clothed soldiers.
. Herodotus, it will be seen, cites it by
way of gratifying that curious natural wish
of the human heart, that things may grow
on trees. In all travellers stories, their ac-
counts of such marvels are the most at
tractlye. Roast chickens, growing on
trees, are part of the bill of fare in Peter
Wilkins. In the same category, Herodo-
tus, wishing to commend India to his
readers, tells them in brief that there is
no need to feed or wash sheep-none to
clip their wool; an end to shepherds and
to wolves; no nightly watches; no daily
tramp for the recovery of ram or of lamb.
All this disappears when he tells his read
ers that the wool grows on trees. And,
alas, the readers believed him as much
and as little as the readers of Peter Will
kins believed him.-New England Mdgd-

"Where does the United States buy the
horses for its army and other purposes ~
The question was asked at Bulls Head
yesterday, and John Raymond, one of the
best known horse dealers in this section Of
the country, was unable to answer it; yet
at the very moment there was young
Lieutenant of the United States cavalry
on the street, within twenty feet of Mr..
Raymond, purchasing horses for the Gov
ernment.
81 will tell you all about it, said the
young officer "The United States has in
Government stables throughout the coun-
try at the present time between ten and
twelve thousand horses. That is the num-
ber required for the cavalry, the Ordnance
Department and other branches of the
army. They are carefully selected ami
mails, well cared for and well groomed, and
the mortality among them is annually not
more than five per centum. This small
percentage is remarkable, when it is con-
sidered that in some of the far Western
Territories the work required from the
horses is very exacting indeed. In Arr
zona, for example, more of the Govern
ment horses die in proportion to their
number than in any other section of the
country, and it is curious fact that many
of the horses there grow blind, and thus
become useless long before they die. That
is one of the effects of the alkali plains on
the animals. Besides the five per centum
which die, about ten per centum Of the
remainder are annually sold by the
Government because of their having
become useless for the services for
which they are required. This makes it
necessary for the authorities to purchase
annually about 1000 horses, and Congress
provides for this expenditure by appro-
priating about 100000 for the purpose of
paving for the horses purchased. The
amount is divided among the various mill
tary departments by the Secretary of War,
and, as the Western divisions of the army
needs more horses than we do here on the
Atlantic coast, the bulk of the money goes
out West, and most of the horses for the
Government are purchased in st. Louis,
St. Paul and San Francisco.
Not every horse will do for Govern
ment service" continued the Lieutenant,
"for the War Department makes specific
rules to govern the purchase of the animal.
They are required to be geldings solid
color throughout, from 10 to Il hands high,
between four and eight years of age, and
must weigh. for artillery horses, between
1000 and 1900 pounds, and for cavalry
horses, between 900 and 1,200 pounds. A
Government horse usually lasts about
seven years, and at the end of that time is
sold at auction, if he lasts that long"
''Do the horse dealers know that you
are purchasing animals for the Govern
ment?"
'tIndeed they do not" said the Lieuten-
ant, smilingly. "If they did, they would
run the price up on me far beyond what
they do now, when | am buying apparently
as private individual" IN. Y. Star

CRAZED WITH LIQUOR.
Joseph Morrisey Set Fire to and Burned
to Death by His Brother.

KINGSTON (N. ", October lsth.-Crszed by
liquor after prolonged spree, James Morrisey,
ber in bed at home on Monday. poured keio-
sene oil over him and set fire 10 the saturated
bed and clothing. The flames flashed up and
enveloped the sleeping man. Others of the
family rushed TO the rescue, and, careless of
burns, extinguished the flames and dragged
Joseph to a place of safety, though their own
hands were scorched and burned.
Joseph was in hor ible condition. The flesh
on his left side was burned to a crisp. All the
care and remedies that the physicians could
use were given to him, but after lingering in
great agony he died this morning. James was
arrested and placed in jail immediately after
the crime to await his brothers injuries.

STOOD AT HIS POST.
An Engineers Presence of Mind Averts
Horrible Catastrophe.


ERIE (Pal, October 19th.-A horrible catas-
trophe was averted on the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railway to-day near Silver
Creek through the bravery and cool headed
conduct of the engineer A detached section of
the east bound freight train had been run into
by another section, and portion of the debris
thrown over ON the west bound track. Just as
the No. fast train was going west at rate of
fifty miles an hour, engineer John Burns of the
passenger train saw the truck ahead and then
freight car He saw that an attempt to stop his
train and jump would sacrifice the lives of $50
passengers. His fireman had left him. En-
eineer Burns resolved 10 stand by his engine,
put on all the steam, and opening his sand
pipes so as to get firm hold on the rails, threw
the truck and cut through the freight cars and
other debris.
Burns, with wonderful fortitude, held the
lever, and in moment he had cleared the OBJ
struction, reversed the eng ne and threw on the
air brake. AS the train entered the wreck the
sides were torn out of three coaches. The
screams of women rose high above the screech-
ing of the steam. Although the engine was
dismantled, brave engineer Burns emerged
from the debris alive. but covered with scars
and bruises. Stout hearted men embraced him
Historically realizing that his heroism had
saved the train. But one passenger was Sc
rinusly injured Mrs. Mary Kane of bennington,
Ohio, who may die. Joseph Meyers of Cleve
land was badly hurt about tne head. Probably
dozen others were painfuly cut and bruised
Not car in the train left the track. After the
people were quieted C. NJ. Spitzer Boston
banker, headed list, aud over S4G0 were pre-
sented to engineer Burns by the passengers.

NEW TELEGRAPH CABLE.
A Former Californian at the BEAD of
the Tnterprise

LONDON, October l9th.--It is rumored that
numbered of capitalists, headed by C. w.
Bonynge. formerly prominent mining operator
of san Francisco. intends to lay new cable
across the Atlantic. The capital will be EsO0,-
00l. TO be taken by eight men at 100000 each.
and TO be fully paid up and no debentures
Issued
The cable is TO be laid from Valentine bay, on
the west coast of Ireland, 10 point on the
American coast near New YORK. Mr.. Bonynge
was seen at his home in Princes Gate.
\ am" ne said, 'one of the people interested,
and have paid up Cleo 600. The cable, however,
will be practically private enterprise. We can
lay cable complete and in working order for
E~00,CQO, and it VIII be odd five cannot pay big
dividend and give the public an immense ad-
vantage besides. Further than this, prefer to
say nothing"
From another source 1t was learned that the
real object of the enterprise is a reduction of
the cable rates between America and England
to about three pence word. The scheme Is
well under way. Mr.. Bonynge will sail for
New York by the Teutonic on the 29th instant
to make the American arrangements.
As a part of the plan it has been decided that
the company shall build and own its own
wires from New YORK TO Chicago, ST. Louis
Boston and Philade phia, and then CONTROL alb
sclutely and exclusively, the greatest share Of
all the American business.
