Life oi Ain Italian sign,,wa,

A signalman in Italy has a remarkably Iasy time of it in comparison with his British brethren This is of course part ly due to the greater leisureliness of rail way traffic in the peninsula, but is partly also the outcome of the conditions under which he is required or permitted to ply bis calling. He is always Iharried-if he were bachelor he would not be em- ployed-and his little cabin beside the railway is also his home He is free during the daytime, at least. to engage in any other occupation he may desire.
 When train passes his wife puts on his hat--an official coyering--and goes out to give the necessary signal with the flag. The wages amount to about a Ganc and half day. London Tit Bits.

Tho Civilization of Europe.

see that Professor Petrie in his latest work advances the theory that Europe is not indebted to Egypt for ifs civiliza- ton. The discovery has been rather late coming on the part of the archeologlst. have long maintained that Egypt bor. Eowed fully as much of her civilization from Europe as did Europe from Egypt. European civilization was really an in. dependent growth Egypt and Baby lonia borrowed fully as much as they loaned This European civilization ac- quired acts independently, just as India did
 More than l,500 years before tho dawn of the Christian era civilization had made considerable progress in Greece and Lybia. A century later witnessed great proficiency in the arts. Moreover this civilization was not confined to a corner of Europe. but stretched from the Mediterranean to the frozen north Egypt and Babylonia did not ciyilize Greece and Italy Greece and Italy did not ciyilize the rest of Europe. They only ranked for a time as the farthest advanced in civilization It was an in, digenous development. At last the archeologists are stumbling onto this fact, long patent to the careful student and the knowledge appears to surprise them wonderfully. St Louis Globe. Democrat.

ue nnllt one Of ,he rrrnmln..

Tho British museum, the great Euro pean storehouse of things out of the or dinary, has hundreds of Egyptian num- mics of all dynasties carefully slowed away within its walls. Some of these are comparatively recent efforts at em- balming, and others date back to the "wide revolving shades of centuries past" The oldest of the entire collec- ton is the mummy of Mykerinos. He was king in Egypt in what is known to history as the fourth dynasty" and wore his golden tiara and sat on tho throne of thrones 1000 years before the wise men followed the star of fate till it stopped over that lowly hovel in Bethle- hem where the infant Jesus lay.
 Mykerinos was the builder of the third pyramid at Ghizeh. where his headless mummy was discovered in the year 1886. The stone coffin in which he was being transported to England was lost at sea and lay at the bottom of the ocean for two years before being recovered. It is seldom that a mans bones are subjected to yicissitudes. especially 5000 or 5000 years after his death. St. Louis Repub- lie

Effected "A Compromise

In Q certain Maine town lives a man who for many years has been engaged in the grocery business, but receiving a good offer he sold out to younger man and retired to private life. But the rul- ing passion was too strong to let him long be idle, so he commenced building store on his land. which adjoined that of the Methodist church. For time everything went harmoniously and the new store neared state of completion. But just at this point up came one of the trustees of the church and said "Your store sets over on our hand one foot and it will have to be moved" This rather staggered the prospective grocer, and he retired to ponder over the ques- tion and study the deeds of his land and test the measurements.
 In doing this he discovered that the back of the church rested over on his side of the line three feet. Armed with this new argument he said to the church owners, If you win move your church threo feet l will move my store one" This view of the case was new one to the church authorities, but recognizing its force they made all haste to effect compromise.

A cozy Nook.

Apropos of upright pianos scheme for utilizing their backs in the lorna ton of cozy corner was recently seen. The piano was placed between the mantel and the window, the back toward the fireplace and quite out in the room. The straight back was covered with old gold silk, laid on in straight. lengthwise folds A bench or settle. with end arms, but no back, was drawn across it and provided with fiat seat cushion of old gold corduroy and two pillows covered with the same material. Between piano and fireplace, in a position to throw its rays on the music rack, stood a piano lamp with shade of old gold chiffon, and at the other end palm was grow ing in jar of duh Japanese effect
 When this cozy nook, which was still further protected at the opposite side by a "crane pole portiere swinging out at an oblique angle with a door space, was lately intruded upon there lounged in it a husband with a pipe and at the piano his wife struck scattering chords and gossiped with him between whiles.- Her Point of View in New York Times

Lotter of n sninlie.

An octogenarian general left letter lately defending the propriety of his sui eide Said he:
 When an individual life has run its cycle and become a waste of nature in the body, overwhelming It's mental and physical qualities with weakness and pain to an intolerable degree, it may with all propliety be removed.
 Such being the case with the life of the writer, his apology to the world is by these terms made through his most be- loved and most intimate friends, who, he trusts, will appreciate the relief to him from ceaseless distress, which, in his opin- ioni ought to be brought by the phyician who is summoned with his drugs, surely for that purpose, but not for cure.- Boston Globe.

The fire commissioners said they would be glad to pump out the water, but Null doom had better see the mayor.
 "The mayor, who was Mir Grace, re- ceived him with that bland air which be always wore when he did not intend to give any attention to a complainant Muldoon repeated his story, saying, 1T you don't get the water ont, I'll give my forty votes to haythen Chinee' The mayor sent Muldoon to the board of aldermen. where Muldoon's friend, Me Gufin, countryman of his and mem Der of the board. engraved on the tablet of Muldoon's memory the intellectual remark, I was jist thinkin the party would stand it much longer if you could be induced to keep ducks.

PLEA OF A MURDERER.
He Think s a Hypnotic Test Would Save
His Neck.

CHICAGO, Oct 26.-Hypnotism was an
nounced to-day by wife-murderer George
Painter as the method by which he expects
to escape the gallows, Notwithstanding the
Supreme Court has just affirmed his sem
tence. He says he thinks that hypnotism
will help him to a pardon. This is how he
reasons it out, and pretty much in his own
words:
Yes, sir; man in hypnotic state must
tell the truth. He must act just as he did
on the night or the day they are questioning
him about. Now, offer myself to be hyp-

and in France commission appointed by
the government after examining the matter
fully, recommended that hypnotism be made
a part of the machinery of justice.
And look at Judge DAILY, of New York.
Did not he read a paper before one of the
congresses at the Art Palace in the presence
of a number of scientific men. some of them
perhaps the best known in the country, and
did not he urge that hypnotic college be
established, so that hypnotic experts might
be trained to help the officers of the law?
bill with this provision was introduced in
the last California Legislature, and it has
been proven time and again that a hypnotic
expert can bring out the truth when he op-

Why, not long ago II was tried In St Louis,
and i wrote to the man who was subjected
to the hypnotic test and he wrote me back

others who had tried. In a hypnotic state
a man must tell the truth. Now, i think
