valuables Lost on English Trains.

1t is amusing to hear of the miscellane-
Gus assortment of articles found in rail-
way carriages. Not the overlooked i'm
pedimenta removed at the terminal sta
tions by porters, and which are invariably
left on the racks, but finger rings, Albert
charms, scarfpins, railway tickets, ETC.,
and in one case valuable diamond. OF
course it is in the door space, where the
,-indow slips up and down, that they find
a resting place, and are only unearthed
when the carriage is sent to the workshops
for particular repair or general over
haul.
1t seems puzzle to explain their pres
ence there, and yet it is not hard to con-
ceive when one thinks of the many adjust
ments the windows require, and the fire.
quency with which passengers lean out,
although this strange trap is fast disap-
pearing with the almost universal intro
duction of the improved dust and draft eX-
cluding guard. In the case of the diamond
already mentioned, which was particu-
larly fine specimen and fresh from South
Africa, the owner had been demonstrating
to his fellow travellers its genuineness by
means of it's cutting qualities on the slid
ing windows of the compartment, when it
suddenly slipped from between his fingers
and vanished from his loving gaze,
Some correspondence ensued, with the
result that the carriage was withdrawn
from traffic and the doors unscrewed and
searched, when the missing jewel was
found imbedded among litter composed
of orange peel, apple cores, waste paper,
cinders, ETC., all woven together by thick
layers of dust.-London Tit-Bits.

ful purpose in the famous enterprise
when be showed the ability Of the an
clients to carry out works Of greatme-
chanical and engineering difficulty. He
employed so elephants to move the
famous Colossus of Nero and trans
port it to the new site he had
selected for it. Upon the backs of
African elephants, also, where borne
IN handsome pslanquins the images
of the gods and of the emperors upon
great ceremonial occasions. The
grand fetes by which the one thou
sandth anniversary of the foundation
of Rome was celebrated are believed
to have been the last occasion on
which the African elephant took part
IN great numbers in these public dis
plays, 1t was about 24S A. D. that
the Roman government ceased to
support the large depots of elephants
it had maintained. From this time
these animals appeared no longer in
the amphitheater OF Rome.-Phila-

Mr.. Harrison is in every way repre-.
sentative of his party as it is in these
latter years. He is in hearty sympathy
with its policy, its traditions and its
purposes. He has stopped at nothing to
promote its ideas. His administration
has ably and unfinchingly-perhaps
some would say unscrupulously-served
its desires.
He has managed to do with dignity
much that the party wanted done which
would have subjected less adroit self
respect to good deal of embarrassment.
He has succeeded in rewarding the col.
lector of corruption fund with a cab.
met Office without offending the better
sentiment of his party beyond forgive
ness. He has saved his personal dignity
by cutting Dudleys acquaintance, and
at the same time he has rendered Dud-
ley's dynamite" innocuous by protect
ing him from prosecution.
He has turned foreign complications
to account by clustering when it was
safe to bluster, and by reporting his
perellptory demands upon foreign
governments only when he had in.
for nation that those demands had been
complied with.
Il must be frankly admitted also that
his administration, so far as the routine
business is concerned, has been success
full. He has approved the squandering
of the surplus and the extravaganza of
the billion dollar congress, and he has
put q man at the head of the treasury
who knows how to juggle the figures so
as to hide the deficiency till after the
election.
And for the future. Mr.. Harrison's
aims are those of his party. He believes
in the control of elections by an army Of
johnny" Davenports under force bill.
He favors such use of the pension list
for party purposes as Raum has made.
Those who desire such use of the Gov
ernment's bounty will be more than
satisfied with his nomination.
He approves the maintenance of worse
than war taxes in time of peace for the
sake of turning the earnings of the many
into the Golfers of the favored few.
Those who desire to see the rule of the
trusts and monopolies made permanent
will rejoice in his denomination as a step
in that direction.-New York World.

Making Lightning to Order

Professor Elihu Thomson, the Lynn,
Mass, electrician, claims to have dis
covered the knack of making lightning
The invention is at present of more
scientific than practical interest,
although there will be plenty of prac-
tical uses for it eventually. The pro-
fessor has succeeded by very simple
means in securing extremely potential
discharges. In an arc electric lamp the
carbons are three-eighths of an inch
apart, and in a search light little
farther. The flame when they are sep
arated acts as conductor.
In Professor Thomson's machine, how
ever, the distance is eight inches, and
no fame can leap so far. The result is
the torrents of sparks are thrown off
without interruption and with reports
like the rattling of Gatling gum or a
case of fire crackers. The strength of
the discharges appear to be limited only
by the space of the machine.-Cor. St.

sacrifices Among savages.

According to the belief of the savages in
the south Pacific the sky was a blue vault
of solid stone, around the bottom of which
were number of holes Through these
the wind spirit blew. The gods first spoke
to man through certain small birds, but
because of their indistinct voices an order
of priests had to be set apart, the gods tax
ing up their abode in these sacred persons.
Priests were accordingly named "god
boxes" From the gluttonous habits in
which they indulged, the phrase ito gor-
mandize like a god" is derived. Their
power was we'll nigh unlimited. Anybody
whom they disliked they could designate
for sacrifice. Human sacrifices were very
common, some families being devoted for
generation after generation to furnishing
such offerings. Exchange.

Railroad Signals Hinder Fast Trains.

The most improved forms of signaling
and interlocking, be they e.echanical,
pneumatic, electric, automatic Or other
wise, which are so necessary to the safe
movement of passenger trains, may be
introduced, but cannot be placed nearer
together than three-quarters of mile.
The very presence Of these signals, while
giving the maximum safety, has in prac-
tice made prompt movement more diff
cult. This state of affairs would point
to the necessity for an increase in the
number of tracks, so that passenger
trains could be grouped on the basis of
speed just as it has been found already
necessary, on crowded lines, to separate
the freight traffic from the passenger

Reformation of the Nose.

Is your nose shaped to suit you? If it
isn't you can have one to please your
most fastidious fancy. What kind do
you want? A straight nose, denoting
refinement and artistic tendencies; or a
rounder one, revealing a literary taste;
or scientific nose, or melancholy nose
of the poetic type? You can cultivate
any kind of nose you want. This may
be done by means of mold which is
designed to be worn at night, and its
mission is accomplished by gradually
pressing the flesh of the nose into any
desired shape. The molds come high,
but who would not pay the price for
an ideal nose?-Ph Philadelphia Record.

1--WE knew the baby fingers

II we knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane,
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
Never trouble US again
Would the bright eyes OF our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow?
Would the prints Of rosy fingers
Vex us then as they do now7
Ali those little, ice cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and action
Strewn along our backward track
How those little hands remind US,

Not to scatter thorns-but roses

Sectional Politics.

The Republican platform denounces
''the continued inhuman outrages per-
petrated upon American citizens for po-
litical reasons in certain southern states
of the Union" But not word about
Port Jervis. The thirty-six electoral
votes which Mr.. Harrison expects to re-
ceive from New York should not have
restrained the platform makers from
expressing an honest protest against
lynching either in New York or Texas.

Harrison is handicapped with the
faults of personal administration; with
the scandals he has drawn upon himself

with his advocacy of force bill, and
