In view OF the number Of fatal and
disastrous railroad wrecks that have
occurred recently, the action Of the
train dispatchers' convention In call
ing for statutory examinations of
dlspatchers by a competent board Is
worthy OF commentator. Upon no
class of railroad employees Is the
safety Of the travelling public 80 de-
pendent as upon the train dispatchers.
While on duty they are In supreme
command Of all the other employees.
Upon their skill, intelligence and
fidelity rest the lives OF passengers
and trainmen. Yet they are APP
pointed from the ranks of the rail-
road telegraphers without any ex-
animation, at the favor or the caprice
Of the local superintendent. En-
gineers serve long apprenticeship as
flremen, and have to thoroughly I'M
derstand their business. Conductors
are not placed in charge Of trains
until they have learned their duties
by several years service as brakeman.
Yet the dlspatchers-the men who
control the working Of the whole
road while on duty-are frequently
raw, inexperienced boys who have
found favor In the eyes Of the super
intendent, and who enter upon their
duties without any other qualification
than a knowledge of telegraphy
which is frequently far from perfect.
The whole system is wrong, and IL
can be made right only by subjectlng
dlspatchers to an examination as
strict as that required OF steamboat
engineers, pilots and other persons
to whose care human lives are in
trusted.

Lawyers are not accustomed to ro-
nance, my dear young lady, remarked
Mr.. Clements, smiling; neither do we
deal in poetry; the plain, hard fact is,
that believe you to be Leonie, Count
ess of Charnleigh."
"Will you explain?" she asked, with
q faint tremble in her voice-her face
had grown pale as death, and her lips
quivered.
THE full explanation would occupy
a whole bench of lawyers for many
hours, he replied. Il may tell you,
briefly, that your father, the late Capt.
Rayner, was one of the younger branch
of the family of Charnleigh. The late
Earl of Charnleigh was strange,
moody, eccentric man; he died without
making any will, and left all his affairs
in confusion. Title and estate are not
entailed in the male line; they descend
simply to the next of kin, whether that
next Of kin be male or female. That
is one strange law in the family; an
other Is, that the possessor of the estate
can leave it by will to which of his
kinsmen he chooses, provided he has
no sons Of his own to succeed him.

Beware the Bite Of Anger.

A Vienna scientist has made series
OF interesting experiments with the
virus of such insects as bees and wasps,
and comes to the conclusion that the
effectiveness of the irritating substance
depends largely upon the mood of the
insect. A drop Of the fluid taken from
the poison bag of dead hornet, for
instance, produces a slight itching, but
nothing resembling the Inflammation
caused by hornet sting with much
smaller quantity of the same virus.
The theory is supported by the curious
fact that under the influence OF rage
the saliva of all sorts of otherwise
harmless animals can become virulent
enough to produce alarming and even
fatal symptoms. Death by blood pois-
oning has more than once resulted from
the bite Of wounded squirrel chip
munk, or a Gagged rat.

saving Of money, and his wife was
really parsimonious. Even when she
had become "the Mayors lady" her
husband could not induce her to buy

He bought her silk for IS shll-
lings a yard, but met her scruples by
telling her 1t had cost only forty. The
evening after she had received 1t she
displayed it with pride to some ac-
quaintances.

"Would you, madam? You shall

of seeing the silk carried away by its

Where Girls Never Go to school.

Girls in Iceland receive no educa-
tional advantages. Everything of that
sort is lavished on the boys. The ques-
ton of providing for the girls has OF
late years engrossed much attention,
but owing to the poverty of the people
and the miserable means of communi-
cation slight progress has been made.
The mother has been the universal
school-mistress in Iceland as far as the
girls are concerned. Instruction in
reading and religion is compulsory. In
the fall the clergyman visits every
house in his parish for the purpose Of
examining the children in reading and
the catechism, and if satisfied with
their progress he invites the parents to
send the children of IL and IA years of
age to him during Lent for further in
struction in preparation for confrma-
ton, which is compulsory at the ages
of IA and 16.

relatively to their population Dem
mark, with 40, $4,000 gallons brewed,

much larger production than most Of
the others. But Russia, with its vast

pointed to inquire into the possibility
Of building a railroad between this
country and South America. The com
mission has just reported that the
scheme is perfectly feasible, but as the
cost will be about $4,000 mile it
scarcely seems likely that even the
most venturesome capitalist will go
into it. II the proposed line we're built
it would be possible to reach Rio
Janeiro in a fortnight's time.
