STOP EDISON.

When the professor asked the student
what would happen if an irresistible force
came In contact with an immovable body,
the reply was, something would bust"
we apprehended that that is what will
happen when EDISON puts into operation
his motor which is to move a railway train
lOO miles an hour. That will be going en-
tlrely too fast-faster even than the neces-
sites of this swift age demand. Think of
taking late breakfast in Omaha, a mid
day lunch at Cheyenne and an early supper
IN Salt Lake, the run being made in eleven
hours, including the necessary stops
ana tnen think of meeting another
train on the track, or of run
ming against an obstruction! You
would better think of it now
because after the train starts you'll not
nave time, and when the collision occurs
there won't be enough of you left to think
ABOUT anything. BESIDES the danger in
VOWED, travelling will be deprived of ali
the pleasure of sightseeing. A fellow will
be whizzed along at speed that will cause
the most charming landscape to appear
ike gray blanket on stretcher. and
rivers and lakes will not have time to ex-
hlDlt themselves. Somebody should sug-
gest to the wizard of Menlo park that we
are going fast enough when we travel
nifty or sixty miles an hour, and in
duce him to turn his inventive genius
IN some other direction. If he goes on with
this hghtning-like motor of course every
one will want to travel on the swiftest
trains, for nobody will feel that he can af-
ford to be behind anybody else, and then
somebody else will try to beat EDISON
IN the matter of speedy engine. There
should be limit to swift railway travel,
and 1t occurs to US that the limit has about
been reached when the run between New
York and Buffalo is made within eight
hours, including four stops, the distance
being 442 miles. II we go any faster
something will bustn

A NATIVE of Poland, Of noble birth, has
just died, named STANILAs ZALEwsKY.
whose certificate of birth is dated Warsaw,
1850. His father and mother were banished
after the first partition of Poland. They
were staying with friends at the Garde

they witnessed from behind curtain, and
STANILAs from behind his mothers skirts.
He was devout Roman Catholic, aid for
twenty years his two most frequent occu-
pations were praying for the souls of dead
relatives and friends and tobacco smoking.
He had eighty-four pipes. This reminds US
of the funeral of German. No word

poor fellow, till a companion came forward

The action of the Car in refusing an in
| terView to the Emperor of Germany is not
the most reassuring portent for peace that
could have been given. 1t indicates surely
that the Car was not in the best of moods.
and If the cable from Paris may be relied
upon as absolutely correct, then the Car
by imputatlon has set Kaiser WILLIAM
notwithstanding all his protestatiens for
peace, before the world as bent on war.
The cable referred to states that the person
trusted with delivering the resolution Of
the Car not to visit WILLIAM, said: "Tbe
Car, my master, has decided to follow q
pacific policy. The interview he might
nave with your majesty would not change
in the least his declsion.' This, too. after
all tie Kaiser's attempts to cultivate
friendly relations with Russia! 1t is
said that the old Emperor of
Germany, grandfather to the pres.
ent Emperor, with his diving
breath babe his grandson TO court friend

young man, well nigh as soon as he came
to the throne of Germany, rushed off to St.
Petersburg to come to friendly under

however, was then looked upon as the real
power in Germany, and as Russia both
hated and feared the great minister, the
young Emperor did not get on SO well in

Germany and Russia. Later, however.
BISMARCK was dismissed and is now a gar

protfered hand of friendship held out to

THE GRACE of contentment and resigna-
ton is beautiful gift, in which there is a
vast amount of good philosophy. Once
when some one uttered q common place
grumble about the badness of the weather
Lord BEACoNsFIELD replied: "Never quar-
rel with Nature" 1t was wisely stoical
answer; and it recalls yet wiser piece of
counsel which be gave on another occa-
sion: "Never let your thoughts dwell
upon what you have not got; always fix
your mind upon the good things which YOU
have got" This good rule of cheerfulness
reminds US of Sir JAMES MAcK1NrosB,s
comprehensive aphorism: ''Always be con-
tent with what you have; never be content
with what you are" Most folks, in their
actual practice, reverse this; they are dis
satisfied with their outward possessions.
but quite content with the amount of in.
ward goodness and wisdom.

Or Chill. Nations like individuals are
given TO bull-dozing.

Turning from the eastern to the western
hemisphere we have several interesting
events, big with Importance. First is our
own affair with Chill. Will it end in war!
or will the United States fall into the same
error that Italy did and cover herself with
r1dicule instead of glory? Glory! Small
glory in a strong man spanking a very
small boy, especially if the boy is sick as
Chilli is. Of all nations the United States
can afford to act with deliberation and with
generosity. The strong can always afford
to be magnanimous and deliberate. Con-
scious OF their strength, of their ability to
punish the offender, they can afford to pa
t.ently wait until it is clear that offense has

we thought the sky scraping architec-
lure OF Chicago would at some period
reach its limit, and now it seems the time
mas about come. The real estate board at
lts last meeting recommended that the city
council be urged to pass an ordinance re-
strlctlng the height OF office buildings to
leo 1eet, of mercantile buildings to ten
stories, and of family hotels.and apartment
houses to 100 feet.
Not long since THE HERALD referred to

considerable depth. Whether this faot
mas had anything to do in arrest of the
tower-like building movement we cannot
aay; but it seems certain that almost the
universal voice of the country will approve

erroneous the idea may be people cannot
dlssociate such dizzy structures from the
thought OF danger to human life.

that is that a thoroughly refined and mol

This is the initial volume of a series Of
translations from the Russian which will
embrace twelve stories by To!stoi. Unlike
some OF the authors later works these
stories show him at his best. They were
written to teach the middle and lower
classes OF Russia some great moral truths.
sucn as temperance, kindness, honesty,
patience, humility. These truths Tolstoi
lmpresses upon his readers not through
political discussions or dissertations. which
would often fail TO interest, but thew are
manifested entirely through the actions of
ms characters. Wonderful pictures of
Russian LIE are given, strange Russian
superstluons, and Russian folklore are
brought to his aid, and occasionally the
supernatural is used to help impress his
readers with the moral which the tale is
intended to point AS mere creations of
fancy these stories must take first rank.
