he fed and ran to the telegraph Office,
where he told his story. Several officers
were dispatched to the scene and re-
moved the distractions, but the mis-

Investigation shows that the track
walkers suspicious were groundless. No

1t is hard to convince dyspeptic
that the world is growing better.
Every sensible man you meet will
admit that he was fool last week.
One of the best helpers the devil
has on earth is the hypocrite in
church.
The love that is dumb until it
speaks on a tombstone doesn't say
much.
No man will ever be celebrated for
his piety whose religion is all in his
head.
Tempting child to do wrong is as
much sin as shooting at a man
with a gun.
Some men who start out to set the
world on fire give up at the first
thunder clap.
There is no place in the bible where
God has promised to make a loafer
happy.
Unless a christians walk CORES
ponds with his talk, the less he has
to say the better.
Most christians are willing to do
great things for God, while but few
are willing to suffer.

chimes and note that IN everything OF Inn
p~ortance the American works are superior
to all foreign productions. Even In steam
engines 1t is admitted we lead the world.
In looms and all textiles and fabric me-
chinery we are either abreast the best OF
the foreigners or ahead OF them. In
printing machinery, pumps. psper-mak-
ing, and ali the specifications OF machin-
cry, of which typesetting, type-making,
Matchmaking, wire-making, occur to me
this moment as convenient examples, we
are unrivaled. Specialization and adaD-
tation are the strong points in America
Much more quickly than any other people
do we perceive where a machine can be
made to do the work of human hands, and
much more promptly and ingeniously do
we provide that machine. A following
out Of this principle will lead you to the
examples, innumerable and sometimes
amazing, which prove the superiority Of
our countrymen as machinists.
In the new world of electricity we are
admittedly the leaders. We gave the
world the telegraph, we laid the first At
lantic cable, we perfected and made COM
mercially indispensable the electric light,
we offered the world as a gift of precious
value the telephone, we follow 1T with
electrical machinery which a~ccomplishes
marvels in better ways han things were
ever accomplished before, and now we
have the telautograph and the phono-
graph and ~microphone. The electric rail-
way had its development in America and
it may now be found all over the world,
from the north of Russia to the borders of
Patagonia and the mining and farming
regions of the south of Africa. In every
thing pertaining to electricity save instru-
ments of measurement, precision, scien-
tific observation and surgical use, where
the Germans excel, we nave been the
worlds pilots.
In mining there is M other people that
have the wealth of natural source or the
skill in development that we see in our
own country. 1t may not be generally
known, but it is true, that American in
ventors have produced nearly all the valu-
able improvements know to mining ma
chinery and methods. The center of this
manufacturing interest today is Chicago,
whence machinery is shipped all over the
world. The latest things in mining ma
chinery, also of American production, are
the electric locomotive, drill, hoist and
crusher, to which power Is transmitted
by wire, and the sources Of the supply
may be q waterfall miles away. 1t is
America that has developed the methods

Women Warriors.

The famous women warriors of
Dahomey, who fought SO desperately
against the French troops, ARE trained
for service with a severity beside
which the discipline of our soldiers is
luxurious ease. They are recruited
from girls of l3 and IA years, ,and from
the ranks of criminals and evil -doers,
for any crime is pardoned to the
woman who enlists among the
Amazons. They are compelled to
sleep outdoors in all kinds of weather,
to suffer blows and kicks without
complaint, and are often kept starv-
ing for days. For the purpose of
acquiring proficiency in scaling walls,
the scantily clothed warriors are COM
PEELED to Chamber to the top OF walls
thickly covered with cacti, the ground
beneath being strewn with broken
glass. Before going into battle lib
eral quantities of rum are given them
to give them the daring recklessness
which marks their attacks. They fire
rapidly for a little time, then charge
upon the enemy with their knives,
and even when shot down will fight
to the last breath, stabbing blindly
at the assailants, and biting and tear
ing at their legs when they can no
longer stand.-N. Y. Snn.
