Calm in the Face of Death.

A tradesman of Lyons, in France,
of the name of Grivet, a man of mild
and simple manners, was sentenced
during the French revolution, with a
number of Others, to die next morn
ing. Those who were already in the
cave pressed around the newcomer
to sympathize with and to fortify
him. But Grivet had no need of con-
ISOLATION; he was as calm as if he had
been in his own house. Come and
sup with us, said they; "this is the
last inn in the journey of life; to-
morrow we shall arrive at our long
home" Grivet accepted the invita-
ton and supped heartily. DESTROYS
to sleep as well, he retired to the re-
motest corner of the cave, and, bury
ing himself in his straw, seemed not
to bestow thought on his approach
ing fate.
The morning arrived The other
prisoners were tied together and led
away without Grivet's perceiving
anything or being perceived. Fast
asleep, enveloped in his straw, he
neither saw nor was seen. The door
of the cave was locked, and when he
awoke, after awhile, he was in the
utmost astonishment to find himself
in perfect solitude. The day passed
no new prisoners were brought into
the cave. The judges did not sit for
two days. Grivet remained all this
time in solitude. subsisting on some
scatterd provisions which he found
in the cave, and sleeping every night
with the same tranquility as on the
first On the evening OF the fourth
day the turnkey brought in "A new
prisoner, and became as one thunder
struck, on seeing man, or, as he
almost believed, n spirit, in the cave.
He called the sentinel, who instant
ly appeared. "Who are you?' said
he to Grivet, land how came you
here" Grivet answered that he had
been there four days. DOUBTLESS.

Only A Question of Coal.

81 am pleased to see an improve
ment in the transcontinentals service"
said n gentleman who was passen-
ger on the Centennial train from New
York to San Francisco to a represent
tative of the New York World. The
Worlds correspondent says that the
merchants in San Francisco received
on Tuesday letters mailed in New
York on Thursday night, which
brings the Pacific and Atlantic coasts
one day nearer. But Uncle Sam
must hustle it he intends to beat the
record. The tightening train in 1876
started from Jesery City at 1903 u.
m. Thursday, June l, and the run
ing time of the train was S3 hours,
AT minutes, and IS seconds, count
ing the passage of the ferry steamer
across the bay of San Francisco from
Oakland to the Golden Gate.
1--WE arrived at the Palace hotel in
time for breakfast on Sunday, and
carried to the San Francisco news
papers full files of the New York pa
pers of Thursday. In those days it
took the entire week to make the
journey from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, so that our train reduced the
time one-half Now the Calfornians
are rejoicing Mt receiving their letters
inside of 12S hours. To my mind
there is no difficulty in reducing pas
senger and mail travel to 100 hours.
1t is only question of coal, and l
hope to see railroads rise to their
opportunity and show their progress
by carrying passengers $500 miles
in 100 hours, which they can do with
out risk at much increased cost.
Our centennial trip was tremen-
dous one, and few ordinary travellers
will care to take it, but the continent
can easily be tnrversed inside of five
days and nights, and the time is
rapidly approaching when it will be

A Chinaman on Walking.

Nobody ever saw Chinaman with
muddy shoes, no matter what the
weather, unless some hoodlums had
pushed him into q puddle. We take
care of our feet instinctively, and get
into habit of walking carefully. If
you watch on a muddy crossing you
will see one American after another
pick his way over cautiously, and
yet land on the other side with mud
on his toes, while n Chinaman will
walk along after them at his usual
gait, land, seemingly not noticing his
feet, stepping on the other curb with
not particle of mud on his shoes
But when he crossed the street he did
not walk as the American did. Had
he done SO he would have been as
muddy as they. They stepped along
gimgerly on their toes. or, ut least
the front part OF the foot. In this
way they put ali the weight of their
body on the thinnest part of the shoe,
from top to bottom, and when it
fiattensd out with each step the mud
touched the leather. The Chinaman
walked over with the weight OF his
body on the heel and instep of the
shoe. and the toe barely grazing the
ground. The foot of the shoe that
felt his weight was firm and unvield-
ing, and did not spread into the mud.

Women Ahead There.

The constitution the state proiec-
tors in Wyoming have been framing
contains peculiar feature or two that
may not facilitate its entrance upon
statehood. 1t is The only new state
that has ever abolished the distinc-
ton OF sex in the voter. This instru-
ment not only provides for female
suffrage but establishes a new educa-
tional qualification. The voter must
vote in English and read in English,
and, if not native, must be fully
naturalized This is amarked change
from the practice of the other new
states and some of the Others in the
west with large alien born element
Women have had the right to vote
in Wyoming innearly all its history,
and have sat on juries and held the
lower judicial positions. But an APP
plicant for admission, coming with
this condition, may be discovered by
wary congressman to have insult
ticient population.-St Paul Globe.

Keeping the Gate.

A man who was recently arrested
on a charge of vagrancy was asked
by the magrestrate why he did not
go to work.
81 cannot" the man replied.
"You cannot? Why haven't seen
a more strapping fellow in many a
day than you are. Does anything all

"Then why don't you work."
Because used to keep toll-gate
on a turnpike in the South.
'You are a discharged" said the
Judge. Here take this dollar"
The judge was q wiseman. He

Try school-teacher is not given to I'M

is the head waiter 1--WE can think of
nothing more suggestive ofindolence.
The old toll gate-keeper was a sort
of news budget. He had nothing in
detail, but held the photographic
gossip of several neighborhoods. In
season he had little weedy garden
back of his house, and in it yellow
cucumbers could be seen, whitening
under the fierce rays of the sun, but
no one ever saw him chop down any
of the weeds or gather any of the
cucumbers. Near his house there
was well, from which water was
drawn with a long pole set in see
saw, and with n heavy weight on
one end 1t would be risky to
say that there was any worse
waterin the world. 1t was black
ish, and had. in connection with its
other monstrocities, burnt-leather
taste. But how the old fellow did
delight in handing out that water
to the thirsty and dust-covered trav-
eler. He had n gourd that had been
broken and sewed up with II Irvine
string, but the wound had never
healed, and through it the water
poured down the way farer's sleeve.
AS rule the old fellow had seven
children and several grandchildren.
His daughter, pale-faced woman,
with large, sad, brown eyes, had
buried her husband away over the
hill under the persimmon tree. The
Oldest of the grandchildren, a chubby
little rascal, with II dnub of molasses

Luna and LunaCy.

The old idea that Luna and lunacy
have an intimate relation appears
to be not wholly without foundation,
according to this Pail Mall Gazette.
This. ut any rate, is demonstrated
by the commissioners in lunacy for
Scotland-that the seasons have a
distinct influence on asylum statis-
tics. The tables of admissions dur
ing the years 1887 show that there
are two well marked periods-one in
which the number rises considerably
above the average, and the other in
which it falls considerably below.
The average monthly number for the
eight years was 1,699. During the
three months of May, June, and July
the number was 62S above what it
would have been if the average num-
Der only had been admitted. On the
other hand during the months of De-
tober, November, December and Jan
uary, the number was 462below what
it would have been if the average
number had been admitted The
table shows further that this rise and
this fall are preceded by gradual
rise and gradual fall the rise tax
ing place during February, March,
and April, and the fall taking place
during July, August, and September.
1.-The special frequency" the COM
missioners say, with which asylum
treatment is resorted to during the
period from the middle of April to
the middle of July corresponds witt:
what has been observed by asylum
to an exacerabation of the mental
disorder of patients in asylums dur
ing the early part Of summer; and it
is interesting to notice also that
statistics of suicide in the general
population shows that this occurs
most frequently during the same
period"
The greatest number OF recoveries
take place during June, July. and
August, and they are fewest during
the months of November, January,
and February. The regularity in the
rise and fall of the numbers is twice
interrupted by a tall in April, and the
fall is interrupted by rise in Deem
Der. at is considered probable that
these Interruptions are due to some
causes which recur regularly at these
periods, because they are well marked
in character and it is suggested that
the December rise is occasioned. in
part, at least, by the annual statu-
tory revision of the condition of pa
TENTS in asylums during that month.
The revision is made by medical Off
GERS OF asylum with Il view to deter
mine whether they can properly give
the certificate of the necessity for
further detention in the asylum,
which is annually required to legalize
the continued residence ofall patients
who have been three years in an asy-
lum. The occurrence ofthe large num-
Der of recoveries during the months
OF June, July. and August is probably
due to the large number of admis-
sions during May, June, and July, as
more than 4S per cent of all the re-
coveries which take place during the
first year of residence occur within
three months of the date of admis-
sion"

Another Wonderful Plant.

There has been discovered in the
forests of India strange plant, which
possesses to q very high degree as
tonishing magnetic power. The

ceives Immediately a shock equal to
that which is produced by the con-
ductor of an induction coil At
distance OF six meters magnetic
needle is affected by it, and it will be
quite deranged ifbrought near. The
energy of this singular influence va
res with the hours of the day. All
powerful after two o'clock in the
afternoon, it is absolutely annulled
during the night At times of storm
it's intensity augments to striking
proportions. During rain the plant
seems to succumb and bends its head
duringa thunder shower. ltremains
there without force or virtue even if
one should shelteri it with an umbrella,
No shock is felt at that time in break
ing the leaves and the needle is I'M
affected by it. One never by any
chance sees bird or insect alight on
the electric plant; an instinct seems
to warn them that they would find
their sudden death. 1t is also i'm
portant to remark that where it
grows none OF the magnetic metals
are found, neither iron, nor cobalt,
nor mexican undeniable proofthat
the electric force belongs exclusively
to the plant. Light and heat, phos-
phorescence, magnetism, electricity,
how many mysteries, and botanical
problems does this wondrous Indian
plant conceal within its leaf and
