Street Scenes In the Far East,

Everybody has heard about tho '
dogs and donkeys of Oriental cities
how dogs roam about without owners,
and how the donkeys bear patiently
their many burdens and get only
scanty thanks in return. But all
Eastern streets abound in noYel and
fascinating sights-bright gowns tiny
shops, yelled women wearing WOODEN
sandals, gaunt camels swaying along
with rude bells tinkling. From tns
first the energetic peddlers are con-
spicuous. If the traveller approacnes
the Levant by way of ConstantlnoPs
he plunges at once into their favorits'
haunts. The first night in this greal
historic city will not be forgotten ioi

Handling alive" Wires,

The following advice from an ex.
perienced electrician with regard to
Give wires is worth remembering
"Never touch an electric wire that has
fallen down across your way while
standing on the ground, as your body
will become a conductor for the cleo
trio fluid to the earth, unless you have
ruboer boots upon your feet. Line
men are sometimes seen pulling these
wires about, but they have insulating
rubber boots upon their feet, or gloves
OF like material upon their hands, and
some people, supposing these coverings
to be only used for protection against
the wet weather, have foolishly grasp
ed the wires and received severe shocks
in consequence. Don't employ q car
penter or ordinary laborer nor do YOU
yourself attempt to fix any electric
apparatus of any power about your
property, whether the current is turn
ed on or not. Electric wires should be
handled one at time If it is neces
sary to take hold of two wires at the
same time, don't do it. In handling
or drawing any wire lying over any Of
the ordinary street wires, especially
such as convey currents for electric
lighting, use dry hand line for the
purpose or grasp the wire with iusulat-
ed pincers. An ordinary wire clothes
line may become the conductor of q
deadly current. In a dynamoroom,
touch not, taste not, handle not.
The most Notwithstanding dishpan
may strike you like nailed hand.
Nothing is safe to you here unless you
know everything. Let worlingmen
remember that when n company has
strung wires on the crossbars of poles
so closely together that man can not
move easily between them it is better
Tor HIM to come down and resign.
What profiteth it man that he has
a situation if his wife be a widow?
Never close a circuit without giving
notice to all concerned. A telegraph
notice received in the back of the neck
generally arrives too late to do any
good. On no condition let two wires
touch your body at the same time.
Don't think that any wire is not dan
gerous. There is difference between
gun with a cap on it and one with
out that can be detected with the
naked eye, but loaded wire-who
knoweth it9 Trimmers employed to
attend to lights in crowded public
thoroughfares should be sure that the
current is turned off before they touch
the lamp, as the step-ladders are often
very high, and the public objects to
being hit on the head by gyratine
galvanized lamp trimmer"

LOVE AND RAIN

The rain was beating rataplan,
Drop--drop-in the street;
And all the way not woman or man
Or even copper on beat!
But he and !, in a friendly door.
Were having a friendly chat;
We never had met in our lives before,
But little we rocked ofthat.
The rain swept down like alancer's charge,
Swish-swish-in the mire;
There was water enough to float barge,
And never a ceb to hire.
And he was excessively kind, you know,
And civilly tried to explain
How the wind-or something-would come
and blow
The rain to the clouds again.
The rain was sounding slow recall,
Drip-drip-in the flood
When he mufiled me up in my fleecy
shawl
And guided me through the mud.
q
That shower has blown by for many a day,
But in fancy it drenches me yet
And just for the sake of old times we say
chat our wedding day, too, shall be wet

THE more we know OF Alaska the
moro valuable and resourceful that
region seems. For some time there
has been a desire on the part of En-
gland to encroach on our seals in that
region, but the fur trade is not the
only or even the main reason why the
Territory is to be priced so highly.
On the contrary, one of the most emil
nent authorities on Alaska recently
gave it as his opinion that in the event
OF the entire destruction of the fur seal.
the salmon, cod, and herring fisheries
OF the Territory--and which are de-
stroyed by the seal would be SO pro-
portionately enhanced and so much
more valuable that the possible ex-
termination OF the seals lisa contingen-
cy that nced excite no serious alarm.

On most of the state railways in

THERE is no nation that takes SO
much interest in the career and per-
sonality Of its leading citizens as do
we Americans but our attitude toward
great men is not sufficiently deferential
to be termed hero worship. We pay
them respect but not homage. We
are inquisitive about them, and like to
feel that we snd they stand on init
mate terms. See, for instance, the
crowds that flock around the White
House and obtrude their friendly fam
iliarity upon each successive President,
until his life becomes burden and
his right hand shapeless mass.

FIFTEEN years ago in was only in tel
egraphing that electricity had large
application in this country. Now Mr..
Edison estimates that 5000, 900, 900 are
invested in electrical industries The
growth has been phenomenal, and has
added greatly to the conveniences and
to the sources OF wealth which tho peo-
pie enjoy. But, nevertheless, it would
be interesting to speculate on the uses
to which that 5000. 900, 900 of capital
would have been put had recent dis
coveries in electrical science not been
made

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE,
Not That He Loved Her Less, but He
Loved His Habits More.


Ihad become strangely interested in
the old guide. A silent man with stall
wart frame, thick gray hair, and firm
ly-set lips, whose smile intensified
rather than lighted the pensive sad
ness of his face. His words were few,
and it was his custom when not en-
gagged in active duty about the camp
to sit aside and smoke his pipe while
his thoughts seemed to be far away.
| had managed to secure enough of
the old mans confidence to obtain a
friendly word from him now and then,
and | determined, if possible, to hear
the story which | was sure he could
tell.
With this object in view, 1 pleaded

save the old guide, had gone out with
rods and guns.
| succeeded in striking up CONVEX
sation, and with infinite tact al d
much patience had induced him 10
speak OF personal matters, and at
last | asked him squarely if he had
ever loved woman.
The old man sat with his arms rest
ing on his knees, his pipe in his hand,
and his eyes gazing far away. He
cleared his throat, and in the stiffness
OF the forest he related this brief story:
81 did love woman once" he said.
IAN waited on her stiddy for long
time. l was a free, wild chap them
days, an, though she loved me as
much as | loved her, her folks KEEP

The effect of great wealth In dimin-
ishing public spirit which is the basis
OF true patriotism. is seen in the re-
fusal OF Jay Gould to do jury duty. He
was fined 800 for the first refusal, and
this on the second was increased to
$3.50. Neither of these sums affects
the millionaire. but in paying them he
does not satisfy the courts and the pub
lies claim on him. Probably jaw
Gould would be n better juror than
thousands who have far less than his
capacity for money getting. But jury
duty is one of the obligations of citizen
ship from which no good citizen will
wish to free himself

A REASONABLE equality in condition
among several classes OF society de-
mands the taxing Of millions Of per-
sonal property now untaxed, which in
the State OF New York alone is esti-
mated at three thousand millions OF
dollars. There is no reason, justice or
equity in taxing farmer or a humble
householder high valuation on his
farm or home, while the millionaire
owner OF railroad stocks bonds and
mines escapes taxation almost wholly.

The philosopher Of the Atchison

BENEATH the rule of men entirely
great the pen is mightier than the
sword. But when they work together,
as when the sword OF justice is followed
up by the prison pen, the combination
Is simply irresistible, as the man who

The New York Herald asks In all
simplicity why landlords who build
fire-traps and burn their tenants in
them are not punished by law. The
true reason is that laws are not made
so much for the protection of tenants
as landlords.
