Mans Inhumanity.

The Washington Star observes:
"Man's inhumahity TO man is as
marked today as it ever was, and a
deplorable instance Of the lack of
charity may be dissernsd in the case
of Henry J. Spencer, who committed
suicide because his having once been
confined i'll a penitentiary prevented
either the procuring or the retention
of employment. Six years ago Spen-
Ger killed Scott Dawson in Allegheny
County, Maryland. For this he was
sentenced 10 imprisonment for life,
but in view of many circumstances
that mitigatcd the crime Gov. Brown
recently granted him pardon. From
the day when the prison gates were
thrown open Spencer has Travelled
around i'll search of work by which to
support himself, but he could not
travel more rapidly than did the story
of his crime, and as often rs he Sc
cured situation hc lost it just as soon
as his employers discovered that he
had worn the stripes. Wearied by his
fruitless endeavors to earn livelihood
the unhappy man poisoned himself
with morphine. The crime for which
he was deprived of his liberty was
hardly less than justIfiable, and there
certainly was no reason why any one
should have hesitated to trust him i'm
plicitly, but prejudice knows no char

Signalling Through Kntnr.-

The intellectual resources of Wiz
ard Edison show no signs of cxhaus-
tion, Ills latest move is for 4 new
and rather startling system of sub,
marine signalling. He believes that
the difficulties in the way of such q
system are quito surmountable. The
principle on which the proposed in
venuon rests is the fact that water is
one of the best media for the trans.
mission of vibrauOns-that is tho con.
veyanee of sound. Vessels are to have
vibratory machine under water.
which will at once register the
signal sounds from any vessel which
may be in the vicinity. The appara-
lus will be capable of detecting the
presence of ship provided with sig-
ma at distance of from ten. to fifteen
miles. 1t is believed that such an in
venlion would reduce the danger of
collision at sea to a minimum, and
with the removal of this ast danger,

genuty could make them, New

At Great Distances.

Observant and far-sighte persons
distinguish at great distances a man
from woman, not by dress, face or
figure, but by movements. The mo-
tions of the most graceful of men are
ungainly when compared with the sim
uous lines that most women instinct
lively assume. 1t often happens that a
single motion of distant figure, and
especially a motion of the arms above
the head, will instantly determine for
a trained observer the sex of the per-
son. If anyone doubts this, let him
note the awkward, windmill-like per.
formance Of man arranging his hair,
and the graceful curves and deft
toucbeS with which a woman accom-.
paniss the same thing.-rNew York

Get Ont the Way.

| climbed the bill one wIntry day,
And unused my meditative way,
And lost in various thought profound,
Obliyious to all around,

And smite In terror on my ear
A shout that filled Inc with dismay,

Hooked and saw there in my road
A dOuble-runner with its load
OF shouting. laughing, hooting boys
A solid freight of solid noise.

A bold command without the stress

But I-well, "got out the way"
My first thought was not one Of eace,
But one of vengeance and police;
But then those boys, thought again,
Are like all other sons OF men,
All mount their sleds and shout each day,
Hi! Mister, therei Get out the wayp'
We have ambitions shod with steel,
Too swift to see, too bard to feel.
We mount them In the hope to glide
Down destiny's steep mountain side,
And lightning-swift through frosty CLEANS
Dart these fast runners OF our dreams,
And loud we shout, rau:ous bray,
Hi Mister thereI Get out the wayp,
We do not turn our coasters back :.
But warn all people off the track,
We claim an unimpedej slope
Down all the highways of our hope.
80, that our double-runners glide;
Let other men find room one side;
And they can stand there in the snow
And have the fun to seeus so.
And SO we shout day after day,
'Hil Mister, there! Get out the waypp
And so I stood there in the snow
And watched the boys glide far below,
And swift my thoughts were thoughts o.

Do not shout myself each day

No More Objections Were Mndo.

A laughable story is told about town
concerning A. II. Humme, the crimi-
nal and theatrical lawyer. Every one
knows that Mr.. Hummel is not above
the average stature of man (physieal
slatnre), and every one who has seen
him in court knows how quickly aud
often he can jump up to make objcc-
tions when he thinks them necessary.
1t seems that he came in collision a
little while ago with ex-Judge Often.
hoefer, who was in an objecling mood,
and lie was greatly irritated by the
latler's deliberate methods. Appeal,
ing finally TO the court, he said:
"Your honor, il is not the gentle.
mans objections that l mako excep.
ton to. but it takes him so long TO got
up and sit down."
Mr.. Dittenhoefer slowly arose aud
replied as follows: 7sf7
"Your honor. possess good deal
of avoirdupois, and it requires. some
exertion for me to move. ] am not
like my little friend there (pointing to
HummeD, who has ouly TO slide out,

feet"

Baby Ruth,s Silver Spoon.

Mrs. Mary o. Arnold of Norwich,

Cleveland few days ago, in which
be wrote that Ruth was very PROUD of
the silver spoon that Mrs. Arnold has
sent her. That spoon has history.
Growers great-grandfather. the Rev.
Aaron Cleveland, dwelt in Norwich
Town. His son, Deacon Cleveland,
was a silversmith at curious, ancient
and tranquil Bean Hill. a mile north
of the old town. The square, brown.
two-story house in which he lived is
still standing under tall elms, whose
branches sweep its roofs, at the south
crn edge of the village. Across the
street is funny-looking little house,
with peaked gables. "Adams' Tav-
