Although it has hitherto been possible
to stop an electric car quickly, the re-

this new population throughout the

a NTarriage Promoter.

A novel society has just been In
stitutcd in Brooklyn, the purpose Of
which is to foster the marrying habit
1t appears to be mainly composed Of
German citizens, but if it shall demon
strate it's practicability other nation
alities will no doubt take up the idea,
and it may possibly become universal.
Any member of the society in good
standing, having decided to enter the
matrimonial lists, will inform the sec
rotary of his purpose, whereupon an
assessment will be levied on all the
other members of the society, and the
proceeds handed to the aspiring bene-
dict. Thus armed and equipped with
filthy lucre he is expected to acquire a
peculiar value in the eyes of the fair
object of his attentions, and presum-
ably success will crown his wooing.
Should the organization become num-
erous these assessments will of
course realize very considerable sums
and the bachelor will not only be able
to marry with eclat, but he can even in
dulge in the luxury of q European trip,
or signalize the hone ymoon by some
other recherche festivity.

In the Earthly Paradise.

Probably no other part of the world,
excepting perhaps the Yellowstone
park, contains SO many natural curiosi-
ties as Modoc county, Cal. The first,
from historical point of view, is the
famous lava beds-scene of the Modoc
war-a country of rocks, so full of caves
that lakes and rivers are swallowed up,
leaving nothing but n faint murmur to
show their course through the bowels
of the earth. In many of tho caverns
an army of men could hide, and in some
places the intense heat of the rocks is
evidence that internal fires are raging
In all parts of the county can be found
mammoth hot springs, belching forth
water strongly impregnated with min
erals, and often close by will be caves
of the purest ice. Medicine lake is a
wonder that draws many visitors an
nually--a body of water that does not
contain living thing, and at certain
hours of the day is full of gelatinous,
sponge-hke substance, that sinks and
leaves the water clear. At the lake are
two mountains, one of pure obsidian,
the other of pumice stone. in LAYERS.

Significance OF a Patent.

A vast number of people suppose a
patent to be conclusive in itself, good for
it's face value. invincible and invulnera7
BILE. 1t is none Of these things, and can,
be none in the nature of the case. A
striking illustration of the real signifi-
canoe of a patent, and the fiery ordeal
it must undergo before it acquires the
force and virtue nominally belonging to
it, is afforded by an important electrical
patent lately issued for which the in
ventor had been fighting for twelve
years; and he got it at last only by the
decree of the supreme court Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, overruling the per-
sistent refusal of the patent office.
From which example, and from thou
sands of like character. it is manifest
that whether the patent authorities
rive or withhold, their action is in no
wise final or conclusive. 1t is In fact
little more than a putting on record, a
preliminary form Introductory to the
real fight, if there is anything worth
lighting about.

brink and Crime.

AT recent funeral of a man who
was killed in Kansas City, Mo-, in a sa-
loon riot, Rev. DIR. Jesse Bowman
Young, pastor of the Grand Avenue
church, of that city, in his remarks de-
clared that "by actual count, a major
ity of the murders which had been COM
mitted in that community within ten
years had been perpetrated by men
imbruted and maddened by drink. {"
The man who committed this murder
was himself drinking member of the
police force. DIR. Young took occasion
also to read the mayor and other off,
Gals n sharp lecture for the placing of
drinking men on the police force.
What is true of Kansas City is true in
other places where acts of-violence are
committed. The majority, and a large
majority, are perpetrated by those who
have been drinking; have all been in
cited to the evil deeds by the madden
ing influence of alcohol.

EX-SENATOR FARwELL of Illinois has
published Il letter in a Washington
paper that is causing much talk, and
which shows that Mr. Farwell is no
greater admirer of Mr. Harrison now
than he was when he retired from the
senate to make room for a good demo-
crat in the person of Senator Palmer.
He calls attention to the fact that some
three years ago he and numerous other
republicans then in congress, recon-
mended w. j. Campbell of Illinois as a
suitable man to be appointed collector
of customs at Chicago, and that Mr.
Harrison said that Mr. Campbell was a
professional lobbyist and unfit for the
position, and positively refused to ap-
point him. Mr. Farwell wishes to know
why Mr. Harrison selected a man for the
responsible position of chairman of the
republican national committee whom he
had refused 70 appoint to a federal
position because of his being "a profess
sional lobbyist"

woMAN's GREATEST CHARMS
Man Likes Her Best When Ho Doesn't
Know Why.

Man Likes Her Best When Ho Doesn't
Know Why.
The exquisite thing about woman's
charm, the thing that makes it so de-
liciously irresistible, is its very unde-
finableness. 1t has n fascination some
what akin to that of the mysterious and
the unknowable. Man experiences the
perfect, exquisite happiness of the ire
sistibleness of woman's charm only
when he doesn't know why and doesn't
want to know. He who would inquire
into what the charm consists would be
like the preposterously prosaic individ-
ual who would analyze the delicate fair
ness of the lily or the rich beauty of
the rose, or who would decompose the
brilliant flash of the diamond or assay
the pure gold.
The supreme happiness of life, al
ways connected with woman's inf1u-
ence and woman's association, is thing
for which man cannot account. He can
tell why he enjoys material things-fne
raiment, a good dinner or q bottle Of old
wine. Ho knows why he delights in
the fair beauty of the landscape and
the rugged grandeur of mountain and
canyon, and why he is impressed with
the broad, billowy ocean. He under
| stands his enjoyment of literature and
music, of the opera and the drama. He
comprehends the steady attractions and
qualification of u congenial pursuit
But the Colorado Sun says he knows
not what makes the exquisite happi-
ness of his life. He who can analyze
the showers Of earthly good, but not
the dews Of Eden; he who can give no
reason for his choice Of a wife except
that he could not help it, makes the
happy marriage.

priced very highly, and stable boy

we reached Saratoga Springs the plum

suspected the stable boy, but suspicion
wouldn't tickle our palates or fill our
stomachs. In our outfit was IN cleo

as q thief-catcher and mechanical de-
tective. herded all the cooks, soul
lions and walters about the place, and
stood them in q row with the stable
boy. Then 1 made a little speech, tell
ing them of the theft of the plum pud-
ding and asking the guilty one to con-
fess. No one peeped, and the most in
nocent-appearing person in the COM
pany was the suspected stable boy.
Very wen,' 1 said, sternly, we have
here an instrument which detects
thieves as surely as a camera takes pho

way affect, but it will cause the guilty
to suffer excrutiating pangs-in limbs
and conscience. Doctor, apply the test. >
With this Livingstone stepped out
with the battery. Placing the handles
of the apparatus in the hands of the
first man in the row, the doctor looked
him in the eye n moment, but didn't
turn on the current. OF course the man
was not affected, and was declared in
nocent. So the doctor passed from man
to man until he came to the stable boy.

trick of the five-dollar gold piece. That
is, I'd place the piece in the bottom Of
a jar of water connected with the bat
terry. Then I'd tell the native boys
that they could have the money if
they'd pick it out of the jar and hold
the handle on the other pole of the
battery at the same time. Of course,
the moment their hands struck the
water the circuit was completed, their
fingers would be doubled up and they
couldn't touch the money if their for
tunes depended on getting it. 1 had
many laugh and achieved quite a
reputation ong the boys as a wizard
who controlled the devils in the water.

were in the Office n lad came in, pushed
on by a number of companions who had
attempted to secure the five dollars and
failed. He had been persuaded to try
for the money, and l explained the

ranged the apparatus. The boy took

curious and tragic touch in its history.
The university was established in 1884,
but during the whole decade between
1850 and 1870 its doors were closed, ap-
parently for good. Its coma came OF
the staying of one student by another.
A son Of the chancellor Of the state was
accused of the crime, but the evidence
was insufficient to hold him, and others
brought to trial for the crime were
cleared. When the next college year
