How Lane Came Down.

Edward Lane, a painter employed
in painting the smokestaC Of -four
ing mill in San Diego, recently passed
through a thrilling experience. He
had painted half Of the stack, 120
feet high. and had just been drawn
TO the top when the hook holding his
platform gave way. He fell twelve
feet striking guy rope with his legs,
which he wound around the rope in a
twinkling, but without effect. He
fell again, dropping forty feet further,
where he struck another guy rope,
luckily catching it with both hands
and feet. He held on pluckily, al
though considerably bruised on the
breast and snoulder until help
reached him, and he was lowered to
the ground. 1t was narrow escape,
but he die not appear to be especially
disturbed over his accident, and was
at work next day as usual. al.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

The theory that times of depression
in business are peculiarly favorable to
religious development, has some justi-
fication in experience, concludes the
San Francisco Argonaut. But, on
the other hand, there are more suicides
in hard times than at any other. Sta
tistics show that there has been
noticeable increase in suicides in New
York City during the last month, the
aggregate being thirty-four against
twenty-five for the same period during
the previous year. The statistics are
suggestive, but hardly conclusive.
The suicidal tendency is certainly
growing; but it derives its stimulus
rather from what may be called fixed
conditions of our life than from tom
porary and exceptional indictments.

Who Pays the Bills.

President Roberts, OF the Pennsyl
vania, speaking of races OF travel,
says: lit is the extravaganza Of the
American people that makes 1t i'm
possible to lower passenger rates.
The rich people demand luxurious
methods OF travel, making the cost
of train very heavy. 1t is the men
and women who occupy the ordinary
cars and coaches who really maintain
the railroads passenger earnings. If
tie fares Of the wealthy travellers
could be raised to what really should
be the rate, then the other fares
could be lowered. Take, for instance,
two travellers going TO Chicago. One,
FOR n few dollars more, gets luxurious
quarters, and only comparatively few
persons can occupy one Of the cars.
He doesn't pay enough extra 1t is
really the man riding In the coach
who makes toe train pay"

Legal Complications.

About the queerest case at law was
that fuss in q small Maine village re-
Gently. Two neighbors owned dogs.
One dog got afoul Of the neighDor-
ing canine, and was chewing him to
the Queens taste, when the owner Of
the under dog SHE'D club The
club broke the bellicose dogs fore
paw. Straightway this dogs owner
brought suit for damages. He lost
his case and was ordered to pay the
costs Of the action. But he didn't
pay, and an execution was issued
against his body, whereupon the
deputy sheriff made funny break
He got twisted over the verhiage of
the document, and proceeded TO ar.
rest the man who had been sued. In
the hubbub that resulted the real
culprit took alarm, and, In order TO
save himself, went into insolvency
before the Sheriff got unsnarled and
served the execution.

Paper Bottles.

There is brt one factory for the
manufacture Of paper bottles in
America, and that has now closed its
doors, rumor says forever. Paper
bottles are comparatively recent in.
vention, and their market is limited
principally to two-ounce ink bot
ties Though the trade was small at
the start it gradually increased, and
the manufacturers confidently ex-
pected that the bottles would find a
wider field for use when they became
more extensively known. They are
largely used in export trade, where
duties are levied according TO gross
weight, as they only weigh one-third

CERTAIN New York gentlemen have
inaugurated movement which is
needed in every city They purpose
TO find out whether pedestrians have
any rights in the streets as against
truckmen, street car drivers. and
other persons in charge OF vehicles.
They mean TO cause the arrest and
prosecution OF drivers who block
crossings who drive rapidly into
crowds and who compel foot pas
sengers TO run for their lives. The
crusaders have the law on their side.
The pedestrian has the superior right
TO the street. Where there is n ques-
tion OF precedence the vehicle must
give way. 1t only remains to be seen
whether the law can be enforced IL
the New Workers demonstrate that it
can be their example should at once

A Help TO the Microscopist.

When one eye is looking through
an instrument like the microscope
and the other, being open, is regard
ing the objects outside the tube, an
image Is formed on each retina, the
blending OF which usually causes con-
fusion. 1t requires a mental effort
beyond the power OF most people TO
disregard the impression in one eve
and Tx the attention upon the other
only. Again, when one eye Is closed
by the contraction OF the orbicular
muscle, or by pressure, as with the
hand, a contraction OF the accommo-
dating muscle, and that Of the open,
occupied eye Is caused as well. To
meet this difficulty, DR.. l.. b. Hall
has provided a simple contrivance
which etfectually shuts off the light
from the unoccupied eye and leaves
the other eye in possession Of it's
maximum efficiency, and, moreover,
the ability to its work in comfort
This contrivance consists Of a small
disk Of blackened brass about the
size and shape Of a spectacle glass,
and supported near the eye by wire
extending from its outer margin
obliquely downward to a point low
enough to he out Of the way Of the
nose, then bent upward parallel to
the tube, but not touching it, and
attached to cut ring which clasps
the top Of the draw tube beneath the
ocular 1t can thus be easily swung
around and adjusted TO the eye.

French have received the Russians at
Paris
Sentiment, pure and simple, was
the basis OF the alliance in 1875, be-

France. France was not Republic
in those days. She was ruled by Il
deSpotic monarchy. When the i'm
mo tai Lafayette came, with hun
dreds OF his fellow countrymen, TO
join the ragged ranks Of American
revolutionists fighting the battle of
political liberty, the English rdiculed
the alliance as one founded on pure
sentiment But was that alliance
anv the less genuine or serviceable TO
the cause OF American freedom?
Thomas Jefferson declared that
every man had two countries-his
own and France. He was not COM
pairing political systems, much less
commencing despotism. He was
expressing American gratitude for
French generosity. The Parisians ot

such rights has just become law. 1t
