The famous Unter den Linden is the
widest street of Germany's Capital IN
the middle there is broad, unpaved, but
excellently cared-for promenade, bounded
upon one side by riding path, and upon
the other by astone- paved road, designed
particularly for heavy vehicles that
might interrupt traffic. Inclosing this
central avenue and the two side ones are
four rows of lindens, which have giver
the street its name. But you must nol
think of the huge, wonderful lindens o.
our Northern Germany. The old trees
have suffered a great deal from time and
the hostile influences of a great city, es
pecially from the gas-always fatal to
vegetation-and they are now very
shabby, mean and melancholy sight.
The electric light has here for some
years dispossessed its rival, and CLEANS
down from tall, beautifully shaped posts
that are really ornamental. Parable
with the outer-most rows of linden.
there are two more roadways, asphalt Oh
one side and excellently paved upon the
other, and also broad sidewalk ON both
sides; so that the street has consequently
seven divisions-two sidewalks, three
roads for vehicles, bridle-path and ?
promenade.-PaulL Lindau. in Scribner's.

A Bird Story.

A woman living on one of Portland's
elmshaded streets, so it is said, noticed a
couple of young orioles that had fallen
from the nest to the street where they
were in imminent danger of being run
over or devoured by the numerous cats
and dogs in the vicinity. She asked the
first man who came along to watch them
for her while she rushed into the house
for basket, in which she carried them
to the top of shed and left them. In q
short time the parent birds had found
their lost babies and carried them away.
Each placed a wing under one of the lit
tie fellows, and then each one tapped its
outside wing,-two wings serving for
both,-and thus they safely supported
their precious burden, How they found
the little ones so quickly is wonderful,
as the top of the shed was quite dis
tance from the street.

WAYS Of CARRYING Money.

A Western man says that men have
various ways of carrying money. Butch
ers, grocers and bakers carry it in big
crumpled wad. Bankers carry it in nice
clean bills, laid at full length in a mo-
rocco pocketbook. No banker ever folds
u bill. Brokers always fold their bills
twice The youag business man carries
his money in his vest pocket, while the
sporting man carries it in his trousers
pocket. Farmers and drovers carry
their money in their inside vest pocket
and whenever you see a man carry 10.
of loose change in his overcoat pocket
you may know that he has at some tint
been a car conductor or curbstone mer
chant. Newspaper men carry then
money in some good bank; and poets p
well, poets don't trouble themselves abouy
such a trivial thing as money.

A New system of Electric Traction.

A Baltimore inventor claims to have
perfected a remarkable electric railway
system. In this system neither over
head wires, storage batteries, surface
conduits or underground conduits are
employed, the motive current being con-
veyed to the car by induction from buried
conductors extending along the line of
travel. The inventor is sanguine that
his system will revolutionize existing
methods of operating railways electric
ally. as it is free from the respective
drawbacks which have operated against
the universal adoption of the conduit, the
storage battery, and the overhead trolley
for electric traction. The details of the
invention are not yet given out, but il
.he claims made can be sustained, most
important advance in the art of electric
locomotion may be looked for.

The Lords Prayer on n Big Rock.

Two men, says the Vermont Herald,
are now hard at work cutting the Lords
Prayer in letters an inch deep and six
inches high on the face of big rock on
the Bristol road. They are hired by DIR.
Green, of Buffalo, who pays them $45
for the job. The rock is as big as a
house and stands at a sharp turn and
goes up steep hill. 1t is about the
hardest place in Vermont for team, and
in the season when teaming is liveliest
there is more cussing there every day
than anywhere else in Vermont.

The Young Doctor,s Opportunity.

Ihe CUnr DoctOf'S opportunity
DR.. Hugh Blake Williams tells the
Chicago Herald doleful story of the ex-
perience of young physician. You
have no idea, my dear boy" he said, "of
the difficulties which environ the young
man when he first starts out in the prac-
tice of medicine and surgery. When
first started out | was trying to do both,
and considered myself competent to do
either, but somehow the balance of the
community where L started, down in
old Virginia, did not seem to agree
with me. | used all the arts usually en-
ployed by young practitioners. [ had
my horse brought round every morning,
and I used to gallop around as though
there was pestilence in every section of
the county and nobody could get well
until got there. had a boy regularly
employed to call me out of church in the
middle of the services, and I used to go
out with rush that would break up
camp meeting. None of these things
seemed to work worth a cent. To add to
my discontinue, the balance of the doc
tors in town seemed to have leagued
against me and to be working against
my interests.
FINALLY, however, my chance came.
There was a medical convention one day
in the next county, and all the doctors of
my own town except myself went over
to attend it. That afternoon an Irish
man named Rafferty, fell in a sewer
and broke his leg. 1 was the only doc
tor left in town, and got the case. 1
fixed that Irishman up in the best
shape you ever saw. put more splints
on him than would be needed for the
fractured leg of an elephant L gave
him big drink to settle his nerves, and
when I left him had the neighborhood
covered with tanbark for several squares
to stop any noise that might disturb the
patient. l went around in the morning
expecting to find him calm and COM
posed, and | found him hot and clamor-
GUS for my blood. What was the mat
ter? Well, don't want anything more
than is necessary said about it, but, to
tell the whole truth to you, found had
set the wrong leg"

QUEER coREAN SURVIVAL.
Children of Larger Growth Mt Horse

Children of Larger Growth Mt Horse
play.
The Corean correspondent of Japan
paper gives an account of curious pop
ular practice in Corea. Kite flying,
which is universal in that country, ceases
suddenly on the 18th of the first Corean
month, and the next day stone fights
take its place as the chief public amuse-
ment. In the eastern part of Seoul, the
capital, there are large open spaces that
have not been built upon. and here occur
the most serious and interesting fights.
One section of the city is pitted against
another, but any one can take hand on
either side at pleasure. There are no
recognized leaders, but the mass of fight
ers readily follows the lead of any one
who shows himself to be little mole
reckless than the rest. Two mobs, con-
sisting of so, 70 or 100 men each, are
drawn up against each other, with an in
terval of perhaps 50yards between them.
There is an incessant shower of stones,
and each mans business is to hit as
many men rs he can, and especially to
avoid all the stones directed at him.
From 10 to 20 men on each side are
armed with stout clubs, and wear thick,
wadded helmets. These form the sllir-
mishing line. They sally out from their
respective sides, and, meeting in mid
career, strike out viciously at each
others heads, each man holding up his
cloak with his left hand as shield to
ward off the blows of his adversary.
After the club fight has. lasted about 80
seconds, one side or the other begins to
give way, which is the signal for a rush
of the others.
In a recent fight men were killed. A
company of soldiers was ordered out tc
stop it, which they found some difficulty
in doing, even with fixed bayonets.

The Extra Legislative Session.

AN extra session of the legislature
will cost a good many thousands Of
dollars.
It will cost much more than all the
interest-money obtained for the state
by Mr.. Hummer before the new law
went into effect.
1t will cost a good deal more than
the amount of money which the legis-
aature finally refused to appropriate
IN order that Wisconsin might have
a proper representation at the
Worlds fair.
1t will make the total cost of the
Democratic legislature a good deal
more than the total cost of the last
Republican legislature.
Why is a special session of the
legislature necessary? Because the
Democratic legislature failed to per-
form it's constitutional duty of MAX
ing an pportionment Of the state,
The constitution requires that an
apportionment shall be made.
A pretended apportionment was
made, but it was SO hideously uncon-
stitutional, so atrociously partisan,
SO abominably unjust, that the JUS
tees Of the Supremecourt unanimous
ly declared that it was not an appor-
tionment at all, but monstrosity
that violated the constitution.-Sen-

wisconsin Cannot be Gerrymandered

In no state IN the Union has the
court Of last resort administered so
stinging q rebuke to the laW-making
power as has the Wisconsin Supreme
Court to the first Democratic legisla-
ture this state has been afflicted with
these many years. 1t remained for
the Democratic party to attempt to
place upon our statute books an act
so atrocious and so subversive of the
rights of the people, that a unani-
NOUS Court, in renderingits decision,
felt impelled to charge the majority
IN the legislature with conspiracy to
defraud the people. No comment on
this most pernicious legislation could
be so thing and rebuking as this
most righteous decision; a decision
that will have a potent influence in
forever more preventing disreputa-
Die majority from enactinga measure
shat would place a majority at the
mercy of a minority. Ex-senator
Spooner deserves much credit from
all law abiding citizens for his logical
and mastery argument in defense Of
Gheir constitutional prerOgatives. He
had already attained to the front
rank as an eminent statesman and
lawyer, and the effect is only another
evidence of his wonderful ability. Elk
Atty. Gen. Easterbrook rendered val
liable services in preparing the case,
and in a great measure is responsible
for the discontinue of those who
have but little regard for law and
equity. Too much praise cannot be
given the Hon. A. j. Turner, of Port
age. He might very properly bestyled
the father of the movement to nullify
the act. His loyalty to the Republi-
can party and his patriotic fidelity
to his country gave him no rest until

gain over last fall, when Mckinley
lost the city, but a loss from last
spring when the Republicans had
nearly 5000 plurality. The election
to-day was very quiet, not more
than IS per cent. of the vote being

An Irishman on the Effects Of Pro
lection.

In the recent debate on the free
wool bill in congress, Mr.. Scott, of II
linois, wished Mr.. Dingley, of Maine,
to explain what he meant by saying
wooden goods in England might be
cheaper in money but they were not
cheaper in labor.
Mr.. Scott-Do you not measure la
Dor by money? How can you meas
ure it otherwise? Is not money the
measure or .the standard by which
you measure everything?
Mr. Dingley-I will Illustrate what
[ mean. There was bright Hiber-
MAN in my state once who illustrated
this point in way that / trust my
friend from Illinois will appreciate.
He was a Republican and a protec-
ZIONIST, by the way, and had been
over in this country for fifteen years.
He had not been able to get ahead
any in the old country, but he came
here to this country to improve his
condition, this country where people
are taxed so much, where such bur-
dens are imposed upon them. He
came here to improve his condition
as he did improve it. He secured
himself little house and paid for it.
He had a little money in the savings
bank and was getting along very
prosperously. He went back to pay
a visit to Cork, and while he was gone
he bethought him that as he had to
get a new coat he would buy one
there. He did so and paid So for it,
and when he returned some of my
Democratic friends, having heard
that he bought the coat and paid So
for it, and that the price of the same
coat was 50 here, undertook before a
crowd of Democrats one day to rally
him on the point. So they said
'Mike, you are q protectionist, yet
you see what you have done. YOU
have paid 81 more for that coat or
account of protection, than you could
have got it for if we had been under
free trade" "Ah, notso " said Mike
II can buy that coat in this country
for six days labor, and in Cork ii
will take twelve days labor to buy
it," Applause on the Republican
