When Travelling Was Dangerous.

HounsIow heath, Finchley common
and Gadshill, in the neighborhood Of
London, were celebrated haunts of the
highwayman, and the secluded roads Of
Epping forest, on the route to Cam
bridge, were often the scenes of plumber
In broad daylight, These desperate rob
bers at last became so dangerous, and
the peril of their attacks so serious to
travellers Of all kinds, as well as to the
postmen, that the government passed q
law making highway robbery an offense
punishable by the death of the criminal
and the confscation of all his property.
But robberies still occurred.
In 1888 mail coaches, protected by
armed guards, took the place of post
boys. The coaches carried passengers
also, and as these generally carried arms
the mails were better protected, but
still daring and oftentimes successful
attacks were made upon them.-St.
Nicholas.

A Oueer Performance.

Several years ago aHampshire baronet
was amazed to find that, although he
went to bed clothed as is customary, yet
he invariably awoke naked in the morn
ing and could not find any trace Of his
missing garment. A great number Of
shirts disappeared in this inexplicable
manner, and as every nook and corner
In the room was searched without re-
suit the baronet at last told one of his
intimate friends, and requested him to
sit in the room all night and watch de-
velopments. This the friend did, and
after the baronet had for some time given
audible evidence that he was asleep the
watcher was surprised to observe him
get out of bed, open the door and proceed
with a quick pace along corridor, de-
scend the stairs and emerge into an open
yard.
Suddenly the baronet, divesting him
self of his only garment, seized pitch
fork and buried the linen in dunghill.
Afterward he proceeded leisurely back
TO his bed. In the morning the baronet,
incrednlous at what his friend related,
repaired to the dunghill, and after dig
ging for some time found several shirts
slowed away in this anything but pleas

Plenty of people are sure that plenty
Of money would make them entirely
happy, but recently millionaire com
mitted suicide because Of his troubles,
although he had no trouble in particular
except remembering that his wife and
two children were lost at sea 20 years
ago. He brooded over it till it drove him
to suicide. But that was not the true rea-
son. The real reason this millionaire be-
came insanely melancholy and killed him
self was that he had nothing to do One
fact every human being should keep be-
fore him: Unless we have some absorbing
work we go backward toward idiocy or
insanity. The millionaire who shot HIM
self said a little time before his death:
''The worst thing a man can do is to give
up business. He ought always to have
something TO occupy his mind"

Now that the shingle trade is pick
ing up and the orders are coming in
with such marked rapidity, the timid
brethren are beginning to fear that the
carrying capacity of the railroads CEN
tering on the Bay will not be sufficient
to remove the output, and a number of
the mills will be forced before long to
shut down from sheer lack of means to
clear out their store rooms. "Can the
roads afford to haul empty cars from
the east in order to carry the shingles
and lumber back at the present reduced
rates?" is a question to be met on every
street corner, as though the historic
wheat blockades Of the eastern portions
Of the state were to be repeated on the
Sound with shingles and lumber in the
lists as special sufferers. With respect
to the Great Northern at least it may
be safely asserted that in the construc-
ton of of his road, Mr.. Hill did not cal
culate on a one-way freight traffic.
The fear that his cars were to be
filed only in one part of the journey,
and that the traffic westward was to
be nil and only profitable eastward
did not strike him as strongly as APP
pears to be the case with some of the
Bay residents. 1t is true that at pres
ent the bulk of the trade is towards the
eastern markets, but there are more
people travelling to the Sound country
in search of homes and business loca-
tions than are to be found taking the
converse route, and the continual in
crease in population creates an ever
widening demand for manufactured
goods and various other freights from
the East, so that the day is not 50 very
far distant when the traffic both ways
will be on a fairly equal basis. In the
meantime 1t is reasonable to suppose
that the management of the road
understands the position and will
prove fully equal to the emergency.

The Glass Industry.

The progress Of the glass industry in
America has been far from constant. It
has suffered severe and violent fuctua-
tons, amounting almost to humiliation.
Several times it has needed to be born
again. But the sum total Of these sue
cesses and vicissitudes has been the es-
adjustment of an industry which, while
II is the oldest, is also at the present
time one of the most promising and
most highly developed Of all our indus
tries.-Professor G. H. Henderson In
Popular Science Monthly.

1t was in Pittsburg some seven years
ago that my wife woke me up one night
and said that our little boy was very

some distance back, and then several
shots were fired. l felt as though some
one had thrown a stone and struck me
on the leg, but couldn't run any more

lied that / was shot. The possessor of
the revolver drew up before me painting

Explanations nor excavations did not
help the matter any, and was taken In
q patrol to the station. / repeated my
story and insisted that doctor should
be sent to my house. The desk sergeant
finally did as | wished, and our family
doctor called at the house, and later
came by the station. 1t did not take me
long to convince the station officers that

city for 5000, and got it.--Interview

That vexed question-whether man
may shoot his neighbours hens when they
trespass on his grounds--has at length
been decided by an English court. When
Browns hens fly over into Jones wheat
fields and raise old scratch, Jones may
up with his little gun and kill them after
he has previously warned Brown to keep
them at home. He will be liable there
for in damages only equal to the value
of the chickens killed. That is to say, if
mans poultry damages his neighbor,
the neighbor must inform him of the
fact and warn him to keep the fowls at
home If this is not done and the pou1-
try again trespasses, the damaged man
may shoot them on the spot and be re-
quired to pay the owner only what they
are worth per chicken, whether as a live
bird or a dead one is not stated.

Now that the Bay cities enjoy the
benefits of terminal rates 1t is no longer
necessary for the local merchants to

with Eastern manufacturers they can
