An Incident of Travel.

Not long ago, when one of the great
through western trains left New York
city, a man and woman, aged about
eighty, got on the cars. They were ac-
companied by younger man, who ap-
peared to be their son, who got their
tickets to some place in Nebraska, put
them on the cars and left them. Shortly
after passing Poughkeepsie the old lady
was taken ILL., This drew around them
sympathizers, and upon inquiry it was
found that they had but very indeti-
nate idea of the journey before them, and
that they had only dollar and some
cents in money between them.
The passengers raised collection
which furnished them with berth in
one of the sleeping cars to Chicago and
seven dollars in money. 1t was evident
from their actions that neither of them
had ever seen a drawing room or sleep
ing car before, and the luxury and com
fort was something entirely outside Of
their experience. They went on, the
picture of content, and it is. to be hoped
reached their destination in safety

A Queer Way Of Choosing a wife.

1t has remained for young clergy
man, missionary, to take the palm for
a phlegmatic choice of wife. Having
decided that it would be advisable to be
accompanied to the mission field by
wife, he undertook to select her with
his head, not thinking it necessary that
his heart need be considered in the mat
ter. He first made list of attributes
desirable in the wife of missionary;
then, as he went about with the differ
ent young women of his acquaintance,
he watched for the development of any
characteristics corresponding with his
record.
When he discovered any he marked a
point opposite the young womans name.
When the time came to make the choice
he offered himself to that young woman
who had achieved the highest percentage
in this unique table, and, alasl was ac-
cepted The only redeeming feature of
the transaction is his admission made
some years after his wedding to friend
"My wife," he says, "was never courted
before her marriage, but she has beer
assiduous1y since. New York Times

Not Ont of sty1e.

Have you an old gown? Probably you
have great many. Perhaps you regard
all your costumes belonging to that stage
known as s'old." Now, you know that
age, while it makes an old woman, does
not make an old dress. The only thing
that really makes an old dress is having
It get out of style, and then, be it ever
so recently bought and ever SO lately
finished, it is old, because it isn't in the
style. Now, the pretty little round
waists which you wore last year, and
which looked very nice, are old because
they are too short in the back. But you
can remedy all this if you desire by
piecing down the length with deep
and abundant fringe. Chenille OF silk
or tasseled fringe may be sewed on and
let hang in perfectly straight lines
around the hips, producing the fashion
able effect of the long basque so much
desired. st. Louis Republic.

A wonderful Dakota Well.

The reports from the artesian well
at Huron, N. D., show that it is the
most wonderful well known to exist.
The water spouts up to a distance
of about 100 feet, and the amount that
flows from the we'll is tremendous,
being estimated at from 5000 to 10000
gallons minute. Even at the lowest
figures enough water is elected to
furnish every man, woman and child in
the state of North Dakota with at least
four gallons of water every four hours.
AS to the pressure, that has not yet
been fully ascertained, but from tests
already made it is known to be consider
ably more than 200 pounds to the square
inch. With a fair test it is likely to
reach 22S pounds. The pressure has
steadily increased in the last three days,
and may exceed the above figures. es.-Cor.

HOW Husband should Be Regarded.

How . Husband Should Be Regarded
At a recent meeting Of Sorosis, at
which the subject of Husbands" was
discussed, Mrs. Herrick attributed the
failure of marital happiness to girls be-
ing taught to expect too much happi-
ness from marriage, and that love is its
only essential by romances, poetry, songs
and tradition. But, while not belittling
love, she claimed that respect based
upon superior qualities; esteem for those
attributes that would make the wife de-
sire the husband as friend if she could
not have him for a husband; common
sense, which teaches her that faulty
woman need not expect perfect hus-
band, and great patience-"t passion
of noble souls"-are quite as essential
elements in the domestic bliss
She cautioned the wife against holding
up her soul to her husband always with
a thorn in it. Men cannot understand
intangible griefs and unrest. She also
said that one of the first lessons wife
has to learn is that her husband has a
right to his own individuality, and that,
while she can inspire him to greater
achievement in work for which he has
bias, she cannot, as she may fondly
dream, mold his character, and she
wouldn't respect him if she could.
Girls should be taught that marriage
is not the gateway of heaven, and that
even at this Eden the angel stands with
the flaming sword to turn back souls that
seek an earthly paradise Women should
know their lovers SO well that marriage
can bring no great disappointments.
Marriage is not match made in heaven,
but an earthly union founded on mutual
respect, over which the love that made
the bond possible sheds tender infiu-
ence.-New York Sun.

A rireproof solution for Dresses.

A chemist of Vienna has succeeded in
discovering composition which will
make even the slight material of ballet
dancers dresses fireproof. The Prince
of Lichtenstein gave this composition a
first trial on the stage in his own palace
in the presence of numerous company
The rise of the curtain discovered two
life sized dolls, dressed as ballet girls, to
both of which a light was applied. One
of the dolls was rapidly reduced tc
ashes, while the other, well saturated
with the protective composition, es
capped with small hole in her dress. =

The shot shedding Ram.

The back frame of the big United
States defense ram is now in place at
the Bath Iron works and shows the
skeleton Of the great hulk in all its
oddity. The philosophy of the whole
thing is now made clear at a glance, and
any man with an idea of the compare
tive ease with which shot can be de-
fected when striking upon an angling
surface will see that the gun capable OF
piercing that armed deck is not made
yet. The only thing the strange look
ing vessel has to fear is torpedo, and
she is no more exposed to them than are
any of the big battleships. Lewiston

A Built-up Gun Forty Feet Long.
THE WEAPON THAT WILL HURL An
11OO-POUND SHELL II MILES

The great 13-inch gun, the LARGEST
ever made in this country by the built
up process, is about completed at the
washington navy yard. This modern
steel rifle is made Of thirteen senarato
pieces of metal, exclusive of the com.
pick carriage. 1t consists of various
CuOes, over which are shrunk bands or
jackets OF various shapes. The Joints
are SO exactly matched that the gun
appears to be but one piece of metal
ItS total length is nearly forty feet its
diameter at the breech is an inch mora
Vhan four feet, and it tapers to a thick.
ness OF q inches at the muzzle. When
finished the gun will weigh noorI,,
$4,000 pounds.
II requires more than a quarter of a
ton OF OF powder to load this rifle for
one discharge, but that quantity is
expected to hurl a shell as tall as q
good sized boy and weighing 100 .
pounds, distance of 70 or 13 miles at
the extraordinary velocity of . 100

The Electric Fire FDS,D.

An electrical application, which is
only waiting until electricity can be as
extensively distributed as water TO be
generally adopted, is the electric fire en-
gine. 1t is even now being used to a
limited degree. In an experiment at
the late Crystal palace electrical exhibi-
ton the motor was worked on circuit
at a pressure of 105 volts. With this
pressure, when running at about 450
revolutions per minute, the pump pro-
PEELED a jet of water from a 1-inch noz-
zle to a height of 100 feet, the water
pressure being seventy-fve pounds pes
square inch.
With two delivery hose pipes on at
once, having nozzies respectively ono
inch and seven-eighths inch, the motor
ran at $50 revolutions per minute and
the pressure was forty-fve pounds to
the square inch, the two Jets rising to a
height of about eight feet. The COM
bination of an electric motor and a
pump has manifest advantages over the
steam fire engine, provided supply Of
current is available.
In the case of the latter it is always
to keep up steam, SO that time
will not be lost when an alarm is sound
ed, and the fact that the motor is in
stantly ready for service as soon as a
current is turned on makes it obviously
better adapted to many conditions. It
s beyond question that the day viii
oon come when the distribution of cleo
ricity will be so general that the pump
lperated by an electric motor will be
he most important piece Of fire fighting
apparatus. .-P Pittsburg Dispatch.

An Iron Rain.

s ANY clear night, if the watcher hos
patience, he may see one or moro
| shooting stars" or meteors. These
are not stars at all, but are often more
brilliant than any star, because thew
are SO near the earth that their friotio,,
against the earth's atmosphere either
causes them to glow at white heat or
name up like torch. Even a var,
small meteor, one not larger than a
pm head, might become distinctly
visible in this way, and seen against a
background of consultations. might
outshine the north star.
The whole solar system, astronomers
say, is strewn with particles of matter
known as star dast, while larger bod
les known as meteoroids chase o,o
another about the sun, at intervals of .
ie" miles. Usually when these
meteoroids encounter the eartb's at. |
mosphere they break into small frac.
ments and fall harmlesslv 70 the
ground. 1t is thought that only six or
seven hundred of these meteoric stonos
reach the earth unbroken in the oo,r.o
OF year, while the number of small
particles which fall has been estimated
at 2'OOOOOOa day. If the air did NOT
ACT as a cushion, no casulty would be
