Tho rndowment of paupbtor,.

The propriety of endowing daughters appears to be now seriously discussed in different parts of the country. This arises partly out of growing sense of justice, which, the philosophers say. is the last sentiment to be developed in the case of women and partly out of the commercial exigencies which in the last twenty years have left stranded SO many women with no means of livelihood The endowment of daughters would ac- complish several en3s It would enable them Co marry the sIen of their choice 1t would support them if they do not marry and in case oi commercial disas. ter would furnish at least temporary provision for the family The matter has progressed until the methods of en- dowinents in different countries are un- der advisement.
 According to Sir Henry Maine it was the passing Of the Roman dowry into France after the conquest Of Gaul that has made of France the richest and most prosperous of nations. It is unlikely, however. desirable as it might be. that the frugality and self denial the hum blest Freuchman practices to lay aside his daughters dowry will appeal to a nation accustomed to easy living and as impatient for swift results as this.-New York Evening Sun

A Strange Story.

Bloomdale has been the scene of very
 strange occurrence. Daniel Nope, liv- ing at that place, was thirteen months old when his mother died, which oc. cured about seven years ago. Her body was inferred in 8 cemetery near there. Last September bis father died and was also buried in the same cemetery. A few weeks ago the grandparents of the child had his mother taken up to remove her to the same lot with her husband in the cemetery. On opening the casket their eyes witnessed the same features as we'll preserved as when placed in the grave. The news was at once sent to the grandmother, where the boy resided. She took the little one to the cemetery. where he saw his mother for the first time in his recollection. n.-Cor. Boston Journal.

Editors niay find some consolation in the fact that they have inspired feelings of envy in the breasts of a young Japa- nese boy A recent issue of an East In- dian paper contained the following note.

A strange Accident.


 "Ihe strangest accident that evCy fell
 within my observation, said Harold
 Chapman to a friend in the Lindell. ,oc-
 cured at my home in Medicine Lodge,
 Kan. One day in May, 1889, was driven into the house by thunder shower. The rain moderated in few minutes, however, and took q chair and sat out on the porch. My youngest
 boy was playing with tin cup, catch ing water from tho rain pipe and pour
 ing 1t along u rut in the floor. The water ran along this rut out onto the cistern platform. While he was stooping to fill the cup from the rain pipe a flash of lightning came, seemingly attracted by the iron cistern pump. The current leaped from the pump to the current of water that ran along the porch and flashed along its course to the end.
 "As providence. accident, III luck or something else would have it our Thomas cat had come out from the kitchen and was standing close to the wet gutter made by pouring of the water. The cat received the full benefit of the flash, and lay scorched and dead in an instant. Now l saw that flash distinctly, and saw it travel from the iron pump along that gutter to the cat. If my boy had been there the result would have been the same. If he had not, why suppose it would have been attracted toward one Of us and serious results might have fol- lowed. slightly imagine that l owe my life to that cats i'll fate l am much obliged to the eat.

An Important Question.

On the night of the big Twenty.third street fire Dr. Buddington, anxious to get home and net knowing any reason why he should not do so, pushed his way through the crowd A policeman ordered him back, and on his failing at once to obey knocked him down. Dr. Buddington, under the influence of the stinging blows, struck the policeman and was at once handcuffed and taken to the station house. The question which suggests itsolf is, How long must an orderly and law abiding citizen stand being clubbed by a policeman before he has right to defend himself?-New York Herald.

There has been some talk since tho re.
 suit of tho late presidential election be-
 came known concerning the necessity
 for reorganization of the Republican
 party, Just what is meant by reorgan-
 ization is not clear. If it is only pro- posed that changes shall be made in the method of conducting political cam. paigns in order to secure a better can vass and more accurate information as to the political affiliations or preferences of electors; to bring those who are tenn. porarily charged with the management Of the campaign and the party leaders into touch with the masses, and to pro- vide Q more effective means for reaching the individual voter, no one will oues. tion the necessity. If, again, bv the re. organization of the Republican party is meant the abandonment of those princi. ples of the party which are supposed to have met with popular disapproval. such reorganization is impossible. Itwould involve a final dissolution of the party.
 Any party which can adopt new prin. clples to meet every chance emergency. and which has no higher aim than pub lie plunder, is not worthy to receive, and cannot hope long to retain, the support of that portion of the country without which no party can succeed. 1t has been grayely suggested that the Republican party should seek success by an abandon ment or modification of its position upon the tariff, by the adoption of some modified financial proposition which would satisfy a supposed popular de- mand, or by a formal declaration against federal control of federal elections The Republican party must look for success In the triumph of it's principles, and not by trimming its sails to catch every popu- lar breeze.

A sermon Exchange.

The latest enterprise which we hear announced in the young and enterpris- ing west is the Sermon exchange" of Chicago According to popular belief the practice of clergymeu has been to write sermons until they had filled a barrel Then the barrel would he turned upside down and the sermons all preached over again Where minister remained in church a great many years the congregation would after awhile be- gin to know when the barrel was turned.
 Some sermons were looked forward to with much interest and others with more or less dismay The Sermon exchange is to do away with all of this It is no longer necessary to preach a sermon over a second time The preacher can take an old sermon and tie twenty-five cents to it. This he sonds to the exchange and receives one written by some one else by return mail, or if he has no sermon to send he can get one for fifty cents. Bal timore Sun.

The discipline of the forecastle was good for him. at least so long as he was ahoat. Many of them got to be mates, and one became captain. This distinguished sailor man was not a pure bred Indian. but was part negro, and probably had a small though potential quantity of white blood This was Captain Lee, and any one down toward Southampton or Sag Harbor can tell of his giant stature and immense strength. This Captain Lee was the son of still more famous man, Parson Lee. John G. Speed in liar per's Weekly.

The new cinnamon bear at Manhattan Beach is out of sight. He was chained firmly in cage built outside the animal house, and when the keeper came on the ground Wednesday morning the cage was empty. On looking closer the keep CT saw some fresh earth at the end of the cage. He investigated and found big hole under the animal house, which the bear had dug during the night and cravled into. He staid there all day and is apparently asleep. He refuses to come out under any proyocation, and will not eat. The keeper thinks he is hibernating, and will probably stay in his hole until next summer. Denver Re publican.

An Ingenious Contrivance of an Invonto,
 In Iseiginm.


 in Beiginm.
 The Garre de Nord, Brussels. has been fitted with a mechanical wonder in thc shape of a clock, which, although con. stantly exposed to all kinds of weather, never gets ont of repair. nor does it need to be wound by the hand of man. It is perpetual timebeeper of the most uniqne and original design. the running weight being kept in constant motion either through the influence of gravitation. as when on the descending trip. or by the winds action on fan attachment which causes the weight to rise to level with the top of the framework. The winding attachment is not windmill of the reg- ulation type, but is a fan placed in a common chimney, the paddles being act ed upon by the natural up cast or draft"
 As soon as this fan has raised the running weight" to it's extreme height the cord to which the weight is attached acts on Il wheel which throws a brake into gear, md the more rounds of cord that are added, so much moro strongly does the brake act to prevent the weight from rising any higher the checking tendency being transmitted to the fan wheel with every revolution.
 A simple pawl arrangement prevents the down draft from exerting any con trary influence on the fan wheel. There IS not, us one might suppose on first thought, any necessity of having fire m the stove or fireplace of the chimney to which this odd clock is attached The natural tendency of air is to ascend through such vents, the draft thus ere ated being always sufficient for weiqht purposes The clock might be placed al the top of hollow tree with a ! bottom opening or any other cylinder from fifteen to twenty feet in height. With its present attachments tms clock runs but twenty four hours after 5he winding fan stops, but by the addi. | lon of another wheel or two. might be ! made to rumu monthog two even though ! .he up draft were not sufficiently stroug | % turn the winding wheel in the mean. | .ime The inventor is n natiyo of Eel. sinm.-St. Louis Republic.
