If we may Judge from the prevail
ing expressions of sentiment on the part
of such portions of the Massachusetts,
public as would naturally wish to keep
up the observance if they deemed it a
religious duty, it appears to be quite
probable that very soon, if not next year,
then within short term of years, Fast
day IN that Commonwealth, as a legal
institution, win become thing of the
past. The reasons are so plain that we
wonder good people do not all under
stand and acquiesce in them. 1t is not
that "worldiness" is driving out godli-
ness. 1t is not that protesting Christians
are losing their religious earnestness. 1t
is not that the house of mirth is more
attractive than the house of prayer. 1t
is that thoughtful and reverent people
are shocked by such an annual mockery
as is this pretended Fast day. 1t is that
the spiritual wants of those who incline
to set apart one day in the year for sol
emn meditation and mournful worship
are, as a rule, best met by the obser-
vance of Good Friday, which owes its
appointment to the Church and not the
State. 1t is, finally and chiefly, that
fasting, as a religious exercise, a means
of grace, was long since given up, con-
scientiously given up, by nearly all
members Of Protestant Christian sects.

The Electric Capstan.

An expert in railway matters declares
that the day is not far distant when the
switching engine will be entirely done
away with, its place being taken by the
electric capstan. The latter is already
in use to certain extent on some of the
Pennsylvania lines. The motor, which
actuates the capstan by means of gear
ing, runs at the rate Of some 1900 revo-
lutions per minute, and the gearing mo-
tor and switch of the capstan are all con-
tained in watertight iron case, the top
of which comes flush with the ground.
There is a cover to it which is readily re-
movable, so as to give easy access to tie
motor for oiling and cleaning. The wires
containing the current for the motor are
carried through an iron pipe below the
surface of the ground, and the switch
for starting end stopping the motor is
operated readily by the foot of the at
tendant in charge of the capstan.-N

r,ectric;tv Fruit Tree.

The peculiar action of the electric cur
rent is sometimes very interesting az
well as amusing. Mrs. M. E. Thomp-
son, who resides on Williams avenue,
Upper Albina, went into her yard the
other day to gather some plums. The
first one she touched gave her an electric
shock. Again she tried to gather the
plums, and every time she touched one
she received strong shock.
Unable to account for the occurrence,
she called in neighbor, and she went
through the same experience, and not
plum could they get Mr.. Menfee was
called, and he started toward the place
where the ladies were standing and
came in contact with clothesline full
of clothes. In attempting to separate
the clothes so he could pass, his hands
came into contact with the l;re, and he
received shock that knocked him down.
This led to investigation-mad with
great caution-and it was discovered
that the electric light wire connected
with the house was broken and had fall
en- across the clothesline, one end of
which was attached to the plum tree.
The line and clothes were damp and
formed good conductor. Also when
a plum was touched a circuit was COM
pleted and shock received. Portland

The Thrifty Japanese.

What is the reason that Japan has no
poverty problem? One reason is proba-
bly, to be found in the land system,
which has given to every worker hold
ing and encouraged him to supply his
wants by his own labor. There is. too,
in Japan curious absence of ostenta-
tious luxury.
The habits Of living are in all classes
much the same, and the rich do not out
shine the poor by carriages, palaces and
jewelry. The rich spend their money on
curios, which, if these are costly, is limit
ed, and the most popular agitation is
against the big European houses which
ministers build for themselves. Wealthis
thus not absorbed and is more ready for
investment in remunerative labor. The
last reason which occurs to the mind of a
traveller with comparatively opPor-
tunities for forming opinions is the
equality of manners in all classes. Rich
and poor are alike courteous. 1t Is not
possible to distinguish employer from
laborer by their behavior. All are clean;
all are easy; all are restrained.
The governor let's his child go to the
common school and sit next to the child
of the catual laborer, certain that his
child will pick up no bad manners and
get no contamination in thought or in
person. This equality enables rich and
poor to meet as friends, and gifts can
pass without degradation. The rich no
bles in the country, just as the universe
ty men with whom we met i'll Toxic, are
thus able to give to those whom they
know to be in need, and friendship be-
comes the channel of charity. The ques-
ton is, Will this survive the introduction
of the industrial system? 1t is possible
that some of it may and that Japan may
teach the west how to deal with the poor

pascal,s Early Observation.

B1aise Pascal, who wrote remarkable
treatise on the laws of sound, was con-
stantly observing the familiar occur
rences about him, even as boy. When
he was only 10 years old, he sat at the
dinner table one day striking his plate
with his knife and then listening to the
sound.
"What are you doing with that plate,
Blaise?" asked his sister.
.See," he replied. when I strike the
plate with my knife, it rings. Hark!''

Tho Sturdy Camel.

A camel has twice the carrying power
of an OK. With an ordinary load of 400
pounds he can travel IL or IA days with
out water, going 40 miles a day. They
are fit to work at years old, but their
strength begins to decline at 25, although
they usually live to 40. The Tartars
have herds of these animals, often 1000
belonging to one family. They were
numerous in antiquity, for the patriarch
Job had 5000. The Timbuctoo or Me

Alrrs Solicitors who Choose Between the
Entrances of "a Cafe.
A well patronized restaurant in the
neighborhood of the city hall has an en-
trance on two populous thoroughfares.
In front of the one on the north q lean
and whining beggar nightly stands with
outstretched hand. He makes no audible
complaint, but mutters necessarily in
tone that excites the imagination into
conjuring up every horror that waits
upon excessive poverty. In spite Of this
he fares badly, for more men come out
of this door than enter by it, and as their
s.omachs are full the thought of hunger
in others obtains no abiding place within
their minds.
At the down town entrance there lott
ers, when the lounging policeman is not
in sight, beggar of another breed. He
is sleek and round, with fat aud shiny
face and q merry twinkle in his lazy
eyes. More than once the writer caught
him concealing a cigar behind his back
while he extended the other hand in q
beseeching way for aims. His sole prayer
is for food, interlningled with fervent
protestations that he is starving, and
that he never drinks q drop of strong
liquor. Many men hurrying into the
restaurant with poignant appetite are
touched by his prayers and pause long
enough to drop coin into his hand.
1t is clear that the sleek beggar knows
that hungry man is more apt to be
touched by the hunger of others than he
who is well fed, and 30 he chooses as
his workshop the door at which the pa
irons of the restaurant enter, leaving the
one through which they leave to the stu
pid fellow whose need, like enough, is as
great as his mumbled prayers for charity
would indicate.-New York World.
