Reporting Rapid Talk.

Speaking of rapid takers makes me
think of the time l was sent to report a
lecture by Henry Ward Beecher," said
the mayors private secretary, Tom
O'Neill, at the Press club the other day.
81 was something of a stenographer and
bad always been able to keep pace with
every man had been assigned to take.
So, with no misgivings, sharpened nv
pencil and took my seat at the reporters
table and waited for the distinguished
divine to begin. The subject was 'Evo-
luton, which, in those days, l knew alb
solutely nothing about. Well, he started
in, and for minute everything went all
right. The second minute he took a
squirt, and found myself pushing nv
pencil at high rate of speed. The third
minute he put on more steam and had
to write so fast my pencil got hot and
came near setting the paper afre. The
fourth minute he spurted again and I
was lost. He kept on squirting until at
last he struck his gait.
'Heavensl how he talked. No manu-
script. No notes. He just stood up there
by his desk with one hand on it, the
other by his side. His mouth was open.
and without changing the expression of
his face or moving a muscle the words
came rolling out one after another like
drops of lead from the summit of a shot
tower. Chicago Journal

Barbados has only 106, 900 acres on

172,OOO, giving only one square mile of

state of density that should reassure the
most pessimistic Chinaman of Maltbu-

100000 year in revenue, has a public
debt of only $3.50, 900, has about SiOO, 900

supply and complete constitutional lib
erty. Could any man want more? And
yet her chief port is 4 mere open road

the other Caribbean islands in climate or
SOIL
1t is the one island OF the West Indies

English people here control local affairs.

At TIE GOVERNMENT HOUSE.

The lawn of Government house
stretches away from the open doors and
windows to the shade of graceful trees.
When ] arrived tennis was well under
way. Ruddy, well built men and grace
full women, all in comfortable flannels,
were struggling for success with vigor
not readily associated with the tropics.
Officers from the squadron as well as
from the local garrison We'd with one
another in entertaining all such as wore
petticoats, while groups of very impOr-
tant looking men chatted together here
and there-made up, it was plain to see,
of local officials. The governor and
Lady Lees lost no opportunity of adding
to the pleasure of their guests either by
saving few words of welcome to new
arrival or introducing those who ap-
Ueared tortured by the know nobody
feeling. The black chief justice of the
island was away on official duties, much
to my regret. Officially he holds a most
exalted post and receives the highest
honors; socially he cannot enter the
dining room of the meanest white trader.
Consequently we have the comical pict-
ure of negro ostracized by the poorest
white clerk, yet a frequent guest of the
first lady of the island-not merely on
her lawn, but at her table. The attorney
general, by the way, told me many
things about the negro that confirmed
my suspicion that in spite of centuries
Of Christian rule devil worship was

Safety Pilot for Railway Trains.

An apparatus which promises to ma
terially lessen the danger to human life
ia case of collision on railways has Just
appeared. 1t consists of a collapsible
buffer, which, attached to and propelled
in front of a train, will receive the force
of the shock and permit the train to be
brought to a standstiH without being in
jured or derailed. The apparatus is pro-
vided with a series of air chambers con
nected to telescope together and permit
the air to he gradually driven out, and
mounted on a rolling support, which may
be held near to, or removed some dis.
tance in advance of the train by the fold
ing or unfolding of the telescoping sec.
tions. Either compressed air or steam
may be admitted as desired to both series
of air chambers.-New York Telegram.

If one may be indulged in the useAof q
little slang, it makes wise man.tired to
see how persistently his compe4s run
after and are beguiled by the latest
shams, and seem never so happy aswhen
they are being deceived. Especially is
this trait noticeable in the matter of
physical ailments. The family physician
may measure out his prescribed doses of
quinine or senna, give the patient
plain, practical talk, and depart with the
consciousness of duty done and the GER
tainty that the subject will leave the
powders untouched on the mantel, un-
less he becomes frightened, and that his
reputation as a physician will suffer in
consequence.
But let some travelling fakir come
along, pitch his tent, swing out his flag,
with ringing of bells and blowing of
horns, and 10! the public is at his feet
ready to be healed, willing to swallow
the most nauseOus mixtures, if only they
be christened with unprOnounceablea and
untranslatable names, anxious to paw
double the fees Of a respectable, respOn-
sible physician, and bold to assert after
aweek's diet of bread pills and rain water
sweetened with mOlasses, that they are
perfectly cured of imagined ailments,
and are urgent that their friends shall
share in their good fortune.
Science doesn't always receive thesup-
port Of the universal public; humbug-
gerry does. The street wizard, with
tangled hair and picturesque garb, can
extract teeth painlessly by the same pro-
cess which nearly murders the patient if
performed by an educated dentist, dressed
in Nineteenth century clothes and located
in well appointed Office. The noble
aborigine, in war paint and feathers,
dealing out "Sagwa" and mystic oils,
will carry off all the spare change of a
community, while the village physician
grows poverty Milwaukee Sen
