Take my seat, madam"
CYRUS Barker was in crowded car.
He addressed the remark to a young
lady whom he saw standing near him.
She took the seat without the slight
est glance at Cyrus, but that made no
difference. Being a suburbanite and
accustomed to travel on crowded trains
he was used to that sort of thing.
''That young woman" he unused,
resting himself against the end of a seat

chiefly of street crossings, coal sheds,

The conductor in passing through the
car had stepped on Cyrus toes and gone
on his way without express sing any
sense of obligation or evincing any emo
ton whatever; but being regular trav-
eler on that line Cyrus was accustomed
to that sort of thing also, hastily shift
ing his weight on the rheumatic leg
again, he went on communing with him

spirit that accompanies the performance

UNPOPULAR GREAT MEN.
Unpleasant Consequences of Getting T.

Unpleasant Consequences of Getting Toe
Far Ahead of the Age.
A little more than three and quar-
ter centuries have passed since the
birth of Calico, the greatest philosO-
pher and astronomer that Italy ever
saw. In the same -1564-Shakes-
peare was born. At that time the peo-
pie of the eastern continent were al
most totally ignorant of the existence
of America. They had heard in a vague
way about the great western world,
but they could form no conception of
the vast extent of our territory, many
believing that it was simply small
island. In the same year that Calico
and Shakespeare saw the light the
Huguenots began settlement in Flor
ida, which at that time was thought to
be an enchanted spot Calico was
the eldest son of nobleman of Flor
entine, and in his infancy manifested
an interest in the stars. While look
ing at the heavens one night he said in
childlike manner:
There are thousands of stars, and
yet all of them together do not give
one-tenth the light that the sun itself
gives No boy ever worked harder 10
gain knowledge. and no boy had so
many obstacles to overcome as this
young student Before he had reached
his eighteenth year he was well versed
in Latin and Greek, was an excellent
artist and an accomplished musician.
His father wished him to practice, bat
his tastes and inclinations led him to
follow mathematics Galilco's ideas
were so far beyond the age in which
he lived that no publisher dared print
his works. His first essay on Hydro
static Balance" was written in 1886,
but it was not until 1910 that it was
read by the public. His essay on The
Center of Gravity" was not published
until fifty years after it was written.
While in his seventieth year he was
cast into prison and all his works pro-
hibited. This was a terrible blow to
the old man, for he had committed no
crime; he knew in his heart that he
was right. When he asked why he
was sent to prison he was told that he
had been making false statements
You say that the world moves, but it
does not" said his enemies. 1T is the
sun that moves" but the world does
move" said Galileo, fearlessly, as
they were shutting him in a dark cell.
We speak of the dark ages of the
''ages of superstition, etc, of the cen
turies past, and forget all about the
ignorance, darkness and superstition
of the nineteenth century. Calico
stood foremost among the unpopular
great men of the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries. There are three in
the nineteenth century who are laughed
at for adv coating impossible" schemes
Mr.. Morse, because he said a message
could be sent by wire; Cyrus w. Field,

His material and cut are now standard.
The erection Of slaughter houses on
the Silesian frontier of Russia appears
likely to take place al last. They have

THE history of Iceland as a nation ex-
tends back more than one thousand
years, yet the records show but two
thefts in all that time.
THE British government has a man
stationed at Rockies point, on the Irish
coast, who records the exact time that
all steamers pass the signal station.
MAIL matter dropped in box in Paris
is delivered in Berlin within an hour

five minutes. it is sent by means OF
pneumatic tubes.
THE London Spectator has recently
shown that in England the tendency of
population to the cities is irresistible,
that the young men and women are de-
serting the agricultural regions and
that farmers are unable to get the la
borers needed for cultivating the soil.

Dress Materials and Trimmings.

Neat dresses are made of dahlia,
bronze brown, moss green and other
plain cloths, finished with braiding in
black or matching the shade of the
gown with a narrow roll of feather
trimming at all the edges. Braiding in
odd designs is quite favorite pastime
this season, and many women are wear
ing some very elegant costumes, includ-
ing bonnet and coat or cape, enriched
with braiding in novel and elaborate
patterns, the suit entire having all the
distinguishing effect of Paris made
costume of high value, the actual cost
being about one-ffth that of the braided
model from over the sea, because the
former suit was braided at home. In
braiding. the chief requisites are great
care, neatness aud patience. - Chicago

Emperor William has astonished
and disguised Germany by writing in
the Golden Book at Munich "The will
OF the Emperor is the supreme law"
Something is however to be excused
to the hot blood Of youth suddenly
exalted to the supreme head Of great
nation. If the Emperor would take
that excellent remedy Reid'S German
Cough and Kidney Cure he would be
relieved from these troubles. There
is nothing that will cure cold or the
resulting n!aladies that come from it
so soon or so we'll as Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure. This great
remedy will heal every trouble either
in the throat or lungs that arises from
cold. In this respect it is unrivaled.
When you ask for this at your drug
gist's see that you get Reid's and take
no other. Every other remedy on the
market for the relief of these maladies
contain opiates in some form. There
is nothing of the kind in Reid's. See
that you get it.
