People Who Have No Time to Read.

It is rather remarkable how the thou
sands who patronize the pOstofice lack
ewes. A little while ago there were
signs and notices enough about the
building TO give any one who looked all
the information necessary about the ar
rival and the departure of mails and the
other matters about which those who
used the building would naturally want
to know. But the clerks had to answer
so many questions that the postmaster
established a Bureau Of Information,
where all questions should be cheerfully
answered by clerk with nothing else 70
do. And now, although the stamp WIZ
dows are econspicuously placed and plain.
ly marked, it has been found necessary
to put up over thewindow of the inquiry
bureau, in addition to its sign as such, a
sign reading: mo stamps sold here. y
The clerk had as many requests fol
stamps as he did for information.-New

The Farmers Alliance leaders in Mime
sofa and North and South Dakota have re-
solved upon another attempt TO stop the tre-
mendous fiow of wheat to the markets, and
have oegun the mailing from its headquart-
eTs at ST. Paul, Mimi, of a million Of letters
to the farmers, calling halt along the line.
The letter states that the new Wheat Grow
ers' Association and the Alliance secretaries
all over the country are unanimous that
wheat is bouud to sell as high as SI-5o, and
possibly 81 per bushel. and they are unani-
nous in this warning to the farmers not to
sacrifice their wheat and give the spectators
all the profit there is in IT.

Knowledge Wins.

Two farmers recently laid wager
that one could hold wasp longer in his
hand than the other. The man who
rubbed chloroform on his hands expected
TO win, but the other happened to know
that male wasps do not sting. and ac-
cordingly got one Of that sex. They sat
and smiled at each other, while the
crowd wondered, until the chloroform
evaporated, and then the man who used
it suddenly let go his wasp. The other
man got the money.-London Tit-Bits.

A peculiar, and thus far unidentified, dis
ease is playing havoc with the cattle in
Huntingdon and adjoining counties, Pa,

fatal. The disease manifested itself two
weeks ago, and already hundreds of cattle
have perished. When attacked the animal s
head falls helplessly, and its legs seem unable
to bear the weight of the body. 1t is be
Heyed that the disease is a form Of Texas
splenetic fever, and was brought there by
Southern cattle. The State Board of Heath

Constable McCready Of Greensburg, was
given a warrant on Monday, TO arrest Il
woman named Ludwick. of Webster, for
quarreling with some children. The officer,
on going to the house, was informed by the
woman that her child was sick. The physi-
clan also told McCresdy that the mother
should not be disturbed. The constable,
however, visited the house later on and
pointed revolver at the woman and COM
PEELED her TO go with him. The child grew
worse and died shortly after the mother
return. At the inquest the jury came TO the
conclusion that the child died from exposure
caused by Alexander McCready in forcing
the woman to leave her home while the

Most Of the shortcomings Of the old
method Of historical writing resulted
from the fact that the world was looked
at from statical point Of view, or as if a
picture Of the world were a series of de-
tached pictures Of things at rest. The
human race and its terrestrial habitat
were tacitly assumed TO have been al
ways very much the same as at present.
One age was treated much like another,
and when comparisons were made it was
after 3 manner as different from the
modern comparative method as alchemy
was different from chemistry.
As mems studies had not vet been
turned in such direction as to enable
them to appreciate the immensity Of
the results that are wrought by the
cumulative action of minute causes,
they were disposed TO attach too much
importance 10 the catastrophe and mar
velOus; and the agency of powerful in
dividusls-which upon any sound theory
must be regarded as of great importance
they not only magnifed unduly but
rendered 1t unintelhgible when they
sought TO transform human heroes into
demi-gods.
1t thus appears that the way in which
our forefafhers treated history was part
and parcel Of the way in which they re-
ganded the world. Whether in history
OF in the physical sciences, they found
themselves confronted by seemingly
chaotic mass of facts with which they
could deal only in vague and groping
manner and IN small detached groups

ably he is given an official position. 1t
is said that the Mikado, while holding
our government in high esteem, looks
upon that of Great Britain as the one
from which he will be able to obtain the
greatest Improvements for his own.
That theory, even though it be true, re-
fleets no discredit upon this government,
and is not sufficient to pique the
pride of American patriotism when it is
remembered that had it not been for one
American, the diplomatic Burlingame, the
eyes of the Mikado would never have
been opened, and he would not have
the possibilities for good or
evil, which is held by the ruler of a
great nation.

AN ANGRY ACTRESS.
She Publicly Cowhides the Man to
Whom She Was Thought to
Be Engaged.
Pretty George Linyard Avenges an
Insult Received From Man
ager T. S. Stout.
She Says She Never Promised to
Marry Him, and Now She
Hates Him.

ST. LOUIS, April 26.-Miss George
Linyard, the handsome and talented
actress, publicly cowhided T. S. Stout, a
well known theatrical man.
Miss Linyard said some time ago that
Stout had insulted her, and that she
proposed to make him sorry for it.
She and three companions drove up
Market street this afternoon, and at the
corner of Fourth they met Stout. He
carried a stout cane in his hand, but
that did not cause Miss Linyard to
waver in her intention. She called him
to her carriage, and as he approached
she jumped out and began to beat him
numerically with a small rawhide.
Bystanders interfered, but not before
Stout had received a cut in the face,
which drew blood.
AS he hurried away, Stout exclaimed:
''If you were a man I'd kill you for
this"
Miss Linyard laughed Historically, en-
tered the carriage and was rapidly
driven away.
The whole episode only occupied
a few moments and was over before the
police arrived.
The affair caused a sensation in the.
atrical circles. Miss Linyard is only
10, but has acquired considerable locel
reputation.

A Dastardly Outrage.

NEWARK, N. j., April 27.-While Bull
ger, with three male and two female
companions, was sitting on stoop this
morning four Italians passed. One of
the girls made remark about the ma
tionality of the passersby, whereupon
one of the Italia rs returned and stabbed
Bulger in the abdomen, nearly disem-
boweling him.
The offending girl fled down the street,
pursued by the Infatuated Italian, who
was fast overtaking her, when John
Powers intercepted him.
The Italian turned upon Powers and
plunged the knife into his side. Both
wounded men were taken to hospital,
where Bulger died tonight. Powers has
slight chance of recovery. The muir
derer was arrested.

The Lottery Company Gains.

New ORLEANS, April 27.-At the last
session of the legislature John A. Nor
ris and associates made application for a
renewal of the Louisiana state lottery
charter for twenty-five years, offering to
pay the state more than a million dol
lars per annum for the privilege. A bill
embodying the amendments was adopted
by two-thirds vote of the Legislature
and copy of the act was sent to Gov
ernor Nichols, who vetoed it, although
the friends of the measure argued that
he had no right to do so under the con-
stltution. The secretary of state having
refused to promulgate the act, Morris &
Co. applied for a mandamus compelling
him to promulgate the proposed consti-
tutitional amendments to be voted on
by the people at the next general cleo
ton.
The district court today rendered de-
cision in favor of the lottery company,
Judge Watkins reading the opinion of
the court, Chief Bermudez and Associate
Justice McEnery concurring. Associate
Justices Fenner and Breaux read dis
senting opinions.

THE STORY OF URIAH.

Jack Barrett went to Quetta
Because they told him to.
He left his wife at Slmla
On three-fourth his monthly screw
Jack Barrett died at Quetta
Ere the next months pay he drew
Jack Barrett went to Quetta.
He didn't understand
The reason of his transfer
From the pleasant mountain land
The season was September,
And it killed him out of hand.
Jack Barrett went to Quetta,
And there gave up the ghost,
Attempting two mems duty
In that very healthy post;
And Mrs. Barrett mourned for him
Five lively months at most.
Jack Barrett's bones at Quetta
Enjoy profound repose;
But shouldn't be astonished
If now his spirit knows
The reason of his transfer
From the Himalayan SHOWS.
And when the last great bugle call
Adown the Hurnia throbs;
When the last grim joke is entered
In the big black book of jobs,
And Quetta graveyards give again
Their victims to the air,
l shouldn't like to be the man
Who sent Jack Barrett there.

SHE'S TAKING NOTES.

In brokers' Office just across the way,
A maiden sits and typewrites all the day ;
Maybe she's blonde; and yet
Possibly she's brunette;
And her age l am not competent to saw
L look across and watch her at her ease
The brokers' letters piled upon her knees
And on her my optic fingers
As she moves her little fingers,
Mechanically tapping at the keys.
At five O'Clock, when Park Row is alive
With human bees that hasten to their
hive.
The broker draws the curtain,
And really am not certain
Where that maiden is at thirty after five
Perhaps she thenis putting on her wraps
Perhaps-and here my fancy has lapse
Perhaps-I am DEPRESSING
Perhaps-but this is guessing
Or, perhaps-I wonder-she and he
