If the ship-builders and mariners
who have been graphing with the
problem of greater speed in ocean
transportation will kindly read the
reports Of recent accidents on the
stormy Atlantic it may occur to them
that there are still other problems to
be solved. Speed is in itself one re-
source of safety. A vessel which
crosses the ocean in eight days runs
far less risk than vessel which
crosses in sixteen. But no matter
how rapid the progress, so long as
there is any period Of 1t in which a
boat may be exposed to danger, safety
alone ought TO be the first consider
alton. There have been immense
improvements in modern steamships,
but not one or these improvements
can prevent such as accident as that
on the steamer NooIdland, which
hove to 400 miles from Queenstown

kind are by no means very rare, and

Important Letter.

In the diary of George NJ. Dallas,
formerly United States Minister to
Russia, occurs a story which, as the
writer remarks, illustrates the extent
to which, in monarchical countries,
the most important matters are sub
ject TO imperial whims. The Incl
dent, il should be said, occurred more
than fifty years ago.
The Empress, having written a let
ter to her father, gave it to a servant
to put into the hands of courier,
then waiting TO start. The servant,
misunderstanding the order, deposit
ed the letter in the postoffice, and the
mistake was not discovered until five
or six hours had elapsed. In the
meantime the regular mail for Rus
STA, and, indeed, all western Europe,
was made up and dispatched.
As soon as the Empress was told
what had been done, she sent IN ex'
press to command the whole mail,
bag and baggage, back to st. Peters
burg. About fifteen hours were lost.
Everything was reopened, the Inn
perial missive recovered and placed
i'm the couriei's care, and then, but
not till then. the mail was allowed tC
resume its journey.

THE grain car sweepers OF Mime
apolis have been making SO much
money for some time that high OH
Gals OF the roads centering there
have been tempted TO resign and
sweep cars. So the roads have de-
cided to stop 1t, that they may retain
the services OF valued assistants.
Some of the sweepers have Yielded to
temptation and filed their sacks
from the loaded cars which were left
unlocked. When the millers discov-
cred their shortage they were not de-
lighted. The grain receivers were
somewhat put out, and all have joined
hands in an attempt to have the
State establish sampling bureau, to
take samples and seal the cars. The
railroad companies have promised to
keep sweepers out of the yards and
will employ more watchmen to guard
the yards. The same action can be
taken at other railroad terminals
with profit both to the miller and
the wheat shippers.

OF the precisely poised head and the

humanity does not rest on the broad
shoulders of John l.. himself. He is
what the Lord and a long course OF
riotous living have made him. In
success he was an arrogant but gen.

Loss OF Memory.

Many instances are on record Of
men who through illness or accident
have completely lost their identity.
A young workman, newly married,
was knocked down by runaway
team and wounded in the head, He
was conveyed TO a hospital, and when
he recovered his past life was blank
to him. He could not remember his
name. He drifted about, living upon
charity, until strong enough to work,
when he secured employment, and by
industry and economy acquired snug
little sum sof money. One day his
wife met him and threw herself into
his arms. He did not remember her,
but seemed delighted to meet one
who had known him and could tell
him of his past life, went home with
her, but did not realize the relation
ship existing between them, and
asked II she was not his sister. He
was perfectly sane, but could not re-
call single instance in his life prior
to the time he was run down In the
street. He accepted his wife, re-
sumed his name, and they are very
happy together, but the first twenty
FIVE years Of his life is still a blank to
him.

the girlish look, as it ever was, ard IL
yours is face to which the style is be-
coming don't let the talk about new
hair adjustments bother you. The girl
with the bang has been much talked
down. She is readily imagined as
either a school girl Of the "what-der-
yer-soy" type, or a most frivolous and
artificial creature. But that need not
worry you. Your bang is not that kind.
A thoughtful, girlish face OF delicate
oval wears the fringe charmlngly. Such
a head dress as 1 have just described
goes with downcast lids and wistful
mouth very sweetly. Even the very
prim girl suits her style OF bang and
looks the more quantity prim and sweet
for Il. She may not wish to adopt a
Greek head dress and a Greek part.
Perhaps her hair will not part, some
hair doesn't, you know, and maybe che
looks like the mischief with her hair
parted Besides, being just quaint,
prim girl, she does not want to peel her
hair straight back and look like an
uncompromising Questioning. The
bang is a happy compromise, so she
cuts tiny bit OF fringe, then another
above its end just covering the part OF
the first, and perhaps another still
above. Each row gets its own half turn

That was an ugly style, too. We who
wear bangs may congratulate ourselves
that the present bangs are each and all
examples of the survival OF the fittest.
If your hair is very thick at the fore

Curve it down in the center, for now no

An Extraordinary Lawsuit.

One of the most peculiar lawsuits In
the history of the country was one in
stituted against the postmaster OF SYRIA
cuse in 1S48. The postmaster refused
to deliver a newspaper to Miss Fell
ton, to whom it was addressed, without
the payment OF letter postage, the
sender having placed upon it the initial
letter of his name. Miss FELTON, sued
the postmaster for the value OF the pa
per, and q justice of the peace awarded
her cents damages and mulcted the
defendant 1929. The postmaster car
ried the case TO the Court o. Common
Pleas, which affirmed the Judgment,
with additional costs of S32.95. Thence
the case went to the Supreme Court OF
the State, which added S37.65 TO the
judgment before rendered, and an APP
peal was taken to the Court OF Appeals.

Most Remarkable Case.

A San Francisco paper tells curious
story OF Mr.. Watson, OF that city, who
understands the Turkish language with
out having learned it. His father was a
mir sionary in ASH Minor, and died
there some time before the birth OF bis
child. Not many months after his
birth his mother returned with him to
this country, and died while he was vet
an infant. He received a fair education,
but never devoted himself particularly
to linguistic studies Not long ago he
happened 10 be in the Office OF the
Turkish Consul in San Francisco, when
he heard some conversation going on
between the Consul and some Turkish
sailors. He was surprised TO notice
that the sounds seemed familiar TO him,
and, listening carefully, he found that
he could understand almost all that was
said. He said that IL seemed as though
veil was removed from his compte-
hension or a new faculty added to his
mind.

Lots of Sense in This.

While a lot OF editors and philanthro-
pists are wondering what Is to become
of the Indians of Alaska, in the increas-
ing frequency of their encounters with
white men, the government has quietly
solved the problem by introducing about
200 reindeer, The trouble of all Ameri-
can Indians, as whites encroach upon
their territory, is that the game, on
which they subsist. Is either killed off
or frightened away, and the redskins
must either starve or steal, the last
named condition implying deplorable
amount of fighting and killing. Indians
with proper food supply never make
trouble. Across Behring's Straits. in
Siberia, some redskins, about as wild as
our own, live peaceably by the aid of
their reindeer herds; il the animals are
domesticated in Alaska, where all the
conditions are similar TO those of 81
IBERIA. the nation will be spared some
meaner Indian wars than IL ever yet
has had, and the natives will slowly be-
come civilized. A. full stomach is an
absolute requisite to civilization.

Tnr manner in which estates melt

The manner in which estates melt
away and are recast to fit the Golfers
of the lawyers concerned has excited,
among other things, the suggestion
that the gates of the penitentiary
will swing open for some of the law
yers. The suggestion is cheering,
but delusive. Penitentiary gates do
not do this sort of thing. If they
swing open for the benefit of the
lawyers, it will be that the pauper-
lied heirs may be chucked through as
punishment for not having more to
be robbed of.
