Among the constables in the Royal
Irish constabulary stationed at the depot
in the Phenix park, Dublin, is Constable
Sir Thomas Echlin, Bart. According to
Debrett's baronetsge the Echlin family
is of ancient Scotch origin, and formerly
possessed prfncely estates in Scotland,
and also large domains in the counties
of Kildare, Carlow, Dublin and Mayo.
The third baronet dissipated large por-
ton of the family estates, and the fourth,
fifth and sixth baronets managed to get
through with the remainder. Then the
present baronet found himself landless
and entered the Royal Irish constabu-
lary-Yankee Blade.

One rainy morning in October | sat
QuiS reading my paper. when there
! Suddenly came TO me the realization
that was not alone In the midst of
my perusal of the stock market quota
tions, experienced the peculiar and in
describable psychic phenomena which
indicate the presence of another living
being. AS am somewhat nearsighted,
it is my custom TO hold the paper rather
close TO my race when reading; and yet,
with it in this position on the morning
in question, l was positive there was
some one standing directly in front of
me and looking at me intently. In fact
it seemed to me as though, through the
four intervening thicknesses of my
newspaper, n pair of eyes were burning
into my very soul.
Suddenly lowered my paper and
looked up. Then, just as suddenly.
raised the paper again and went on read
ing. My worst fears were realizedi The
being who stood before me was a wom-
an, and there was not an unoccupied
seat in the whole car.-Life.

Apples as Medicine.

Chemically, the apple is composed of
vegetable fiber, albumen. sugar, gum,
chlorophyl, malic acid, gallic acid, lime
and much water. Furthermore, the
German analysts say that the apple con-
tains a larger percentage cf phosphorus
than any other fruit or vegetable. The
phosphorus is admirably adapted for re-
newing the essential nervous matter,
lecithin of the brain and spinal chord.
1t is perhaps for the same reason, rudely
understood, that old Scandinavian tradi-
tions represent the apple as the food of
the gods, who. when they felt themselves
to be growing feeble and infirm, resorted
to this fruit for renewing their powers
of mind and body.-Medical Age.

Tho Efrectlvepess Of Modern Guns.

The prominence given to a lecture by
the German doctor, DIR. Billroth, on the
wounded in war, has induced Mr.. Archi-
bald Forbes to write on the subject
DIR. Billroth estimates that of the cas-
ualties at Weissenburg and Worth dur
ing the Franco-German war, S0per cent
of all the wounded were caused by rifles,
10 per cent. by the large guns, and not
quite per cent. by the lance and sword
Mr.. Forbes, however, says that the sta
tistics for the whole of the war on the
German side prove that over 90per cent
were due to rifle fire, about 0 per cent.
to artillery, and about per cent. to cold
steel.
The smallness of the mortality from
the French artillery is explained by the
fact that their artillery was notoriously
badly served. DIR. Billroth believes that
the fnture will see q still greater pro-
portion of deaths resulting from rifle
fire than from shell. Mr.. Forbes points
out that, in doing so, no account has
been taken of the probable use of highly
destructive explosives in the shells of
the future.-Army and Navy Gazette.

There is an old fashioned phrase of
hospitality which consists of only two
words, and l find it a parallel to the
Greek salutation, and like it, com
mand. "Sit by" says the comfortable
New England farmer to his guest be-
meath his roof. Now compare this COM
manding phrase with the more modern
polite question, "Will you partake of
refreshments" which is as empty and
void as Chinese invitation, and throws
the choice of acceptance on the guest.
One is the living soul of speech, the
other mere dead fernality.-Detrsit

women Talinr the places OF Men.


In Holland men can no longer be
trusted to work the switches on the rail
ways, and women now fill their places.
This is slap in the face indeed to the
male sex, and great triumph to the adj
vocates of female labor. But we have
yet to see how the thing works. The
men say that there will now be looking
glasses in the switch boxes, and that the
women will never leave them till they
have smoothed their last hair and settled
the bow of their last ribbon, and that'in
the meantime there win be collisions;
that when left to themselves they never
have been in time for the train as pas
sengers, and viii not be more punctual
as pointswomen; and, finally, that If they
hear their lovers whistle anywhere in
the neighborhood they will pay very lit
tie attention to that of the locomotive.

clude the men, 1--WE are not Dutchmen." I"
