Northern Republican papers are very
fond now Of laying the Ford Theatre dis
aster to "Holmanism," a new word they
have coined Tor the occasion. Judge
Holman may have been the stingiest and
most economical man in the world, but
how could his stinginess and economy
have affected anything after the billion
dollar congress had not only looted the
Treasury but passed the Sherman law
to take from 1t any money which might
be received into its vaults after the loot
ing? 1t was impossible under such a
state OF affairs for "H0lmanism" 10 do
any harm TO anything. and the Repub-
licans are compelled again TO look to
their own party as responsible for the
Theatre disaster

A Hentlny Scheme.

A plan of heating mills has been in
troduced by which heated air is deliv-
cred from large fan into fiues in the
walls, registers from each fiue delivering
the air into the different rooms, this air
being heated by the waste gases from
the boiler. The products of combustion
pass from the boilers through econo-
mixers for heating the feed water, next
through Regeneration for reheating the
steam exhausted from the high pressure
cylinder and on its way to the low pres
sure cylinder, and then passes through
air pipes, where it heats the cold air for
heating the buildings, then passes to the
chimney. If heated air is not wanted,
but only cool air for ventilation, the gases
from the boiler are turned by a damper
into the chimney without entering the
heater, and if the gases are not sufficient
to heat the air as desired additional
heat is supplied by radiators of steam in
this heater. The temperature of the air
is raised about 80 degrees by it's contact
with the hot gases.-New York Sun.

Facing Certain Death

With his foot caught and firmly held
in frog on the Reading railroad track
at West Falls, John Duffy met death in
fearful form. Duffy was employed as a
brakeman by the Reading company, and
ran>ahead of his train to open switch.
That duty performed. he signaled his
engineer to bring on the train.
His signal was observed, and as the
train came toward him Duffy found
that his foot was caught firmly in a
frog. He shouted for help and made
frantic efforts to release himself, but in
vain. The noise of the putting engine
drowned his cries, and when the engi-
neer saw the struggling man in the full
glare of the headlight it was too late to
save his life.
Swiftly the great engine bore down on
the frantic prisoner, and though the
the lever was reversed and the brake put
down hard the locomotive struck Duffy
and he was literally cut in two. Death
was instantaneous, but the expression
on the dead face showed plainly the ter
rible agony the man had endured for a
few seconds.-Philadelphia Record.

Too Much For Young Man a. the WORLD.


Too Much For Young Man at the Worlds
Fair.
1t was meek, mild hammered youth
tnat stood behind the exhibit Of petrified
wood. There was look of agony ON his
lace that seemed born of fright. A visitor
approached the exhibit, and the face of the
milo hammered young man grew ashen
pale.
"Is this putrefed wood," asked the Wis.
itor. We
mo, sir. that is petrified wood" The
visitor withdrew. The next came.
Mister, is this ossifled woods"
mo, sir; this is petrifled wood" The
ashen gray on the youths face was growing
more pronounced.
The listener understood the situation
now, and sympathized and drew nearer.
Wife, that is peterfled wood, !" exclaimed
an old farmer as he and his better half passed
by.
rms isn't oxidized wood, is it?" asked
q schoolgirl next. The attendant explained
his exhibit as before.

next.
No, madam, that's petrifled wood"
The attendant was growing weaker.
rs that perforated woods"
mo, sir; that is petrifled wood"
Us Us that the new cement we read abouta"
NO, sir; that is petrifled wood"
us that marbleized woods"
The attendant failed to answer. The
woman looked up, and seeing the youth
about to faint produced her smelling salts,
and the attendant revived. But, alasl so
seconds only elapsed before gaunt coun-
tryman approached.
DO you sell any seed to raise that kind
of woodS"
This was a slight change, and the lad In
misery moved about and found some small
chlps OF the wood in the case, which he sold
20 the gaunt countryman for a considera-
tlon. But the exertion only weakened
him the more.
WAS that wood sawed and polished be.
fore 1t was petrified"
NO, Sir, don't think it was" It was
evident that the young man couldn't last
long. The listener would have helped him
IL ne could, but the young man had to
stand the strain alone. There was hopeless
ness on every feature as one more anxious
admirer came up.
Was this wood petrifled especially for
the fairt"
But the young man had tainted. The
nearest guard called an ambulance. A
crowd gathered about and cast pityinp
Chances as he was laid in the wagon. He
was taken to the hospital, and the trained
nurses wondered what it all meant az he
groaned in his delirium, mo, no. this is
petrified wood"
NO one now attends the exhibit, but
everywhere about may be seen the legend
In capital letters. This is petrified wood

Reading by Candle Light.

II must inveigh," says an oculist
against the candle as a night reading
light. 1t is quite custom, find, for
sleepless folks to keep candle at their
bedside and rely upon it for light during
wakeful hours that are passed in read
ing. AS the flame fickers with the
slightest current of air, the light is un-
certain and waving and most trying to
the eyes. A small reading lamp takes q
few seconds longer to light, but it is
much to be preferred"

killed. at the back and on the arms, was
turned up at tho sleeves over two slight
wrists, and by its fullness made him
look still younger and more slender.
There was excitement in his long, bril-
liant eyes-Arab eyes, intensified by
Spanish flame. And this fixed flame
annoyed the Cabecilla.
"What do You want" he asked of him.
Nothing. I am waiting for you to
decide on my fate"
Your fate will be that of the others.
I named no one. The pardon was for
ALL"
"The others are traitors and cowardsi
alone did not shout any thingr'
The Cabecilla gave start and looked
him full in the face.
Whats your name%
"Tonio Vidal"
"Whence come your"
"From Puycerda."
"What age?"
Seventeen"
"The republic, then, has no more men,
since she is reduced to enrolling chill

II was not enrolled, padre. I am O
volunteer"
You know, fellow, that 1 have more
than one means of making you shout
Long live the kingr"
The youth assumed superb look.
II defy you to do sol' retorted he.
$50 you would rather die?"
ga hundred timesp' Il
Very well, you shall die!"
Then the cure made sign, and the ex-
ecution platoon came and ranged itself
around the condemned, who did not
vince.
This sublime courage touched the
chief with pity. He demanded:
"Have you nothing to ask Of me first?
Don't you want something to eat2 Don't
you want something to drink"
"No," answered the youth; but am
good Catholic, and don't want to 90
before God without confession"
The Cabecilla still wore his surplice
and his stole.
"Kneel," said he, seating himself upon
rock, and the soldiers having with
drawn short distance, the condemned
began in low voice:
"Bless me, my father, because 1 have
sinnedr'
But in the midst of the confession q
terrible fusillade burst forth Mt the en-
trance Of the defile.
:'To arms!' cried the sentinels.
The Cabecilla gave bound, issued
his orders, distributed the posts and
scattered his soldiers. He himself had
seized a carbine without taking the
time to remove his surplice, when, hap
pening to turn around, he perceived the
youth still on his knees.
What are you doing there?" he
Numbered.
Il am awaiting absolution," was the
reply.
"That's true" said the priest. 81 had
forgotten you"
Gravely he raised his hand and blessed
that bowed young head. Then, before 60
ing away, after glancing around him for
the platoon of execution, dispersed in
the disorder of the attack, he drew off a
step, took aim at his penitent and shot
him.-Alphonse Daudet.

AN AWFUL lMpossIelLlrY.

The soaking rain is pouring down
How 1t would fill your cup
With bitterness IL some day Il
Should start to pouring upi
Umbrellas then would be no use,
And men In rubber boots
Would have to go, while all the girls
Would put on bathing suits.
You'd have fountain on your lawn
Beside each blade Of grass.
To keep your cellar warm and dry
You'd need floor of glass.
II you wore camping in tent,
You'd have to sleep on top,
And all night you'd be praying that
The cursed rain might stop.
In fact, great Inconvenience
Too numerous to st:.e
Would follow If the falling rain
Should cease to gravitate.
So let us hope thereHl be no change,
At least in our town,
And that instead of pouring up
The rain will still pour dYwn.
