The condition Of the thousands Of unem-
ployed in different parts of the country Is
bad enough without exaggeration. That
there should be discomfort and some htem-
perate utterances Is only human. The men.
however, who take such an opportunity to
appeal to the worst passions and promote
RIOT and anarchy, should receive little con-
sideration at the hands OF the authorities.
The theatrical device of hunger parades"
seems to have been invented by ingenious
anarchists to arouse the resentment Of
workingmen against society at large. Sens
fble workingmen are not likely to be misled
by such demonstrations. but the mob-spirit

Potcmliin, the confidential adviser of
Catherine the Great, was an idle and in
attentive student when at the Univcr-
sity of Moscow. lie was the son of a
poor noble. An unexpected event
changed the idle student into man
of thought and action. He lost an eye,
and after the accident became danger
ously ill. After this he devoted him
self to study and to the affairs of the
nation.

revenge. do you remember how you
expelled me from the university?" he
asked in the most affcctionatc manner,
on meeting Il professor who had particu-
larly insisted on his exclusion.
You deserved it at that time your
exccllcncy," replied the professor.
so did, SO did," agreed Potemllin,
heartily, and the professor enjoyed the
favor and friendship of his former
troublesome pupil during his lifetime.
He had quick wit and n lively and
original turn of mind During an ora
ton by Platon, remarkable for its
depth and strength of thought, the
preacher, to the astonishment of the
listeners, descended from the steps lead
ing to the. altar, and, approaching the
tomb of Peter the Great, exclaimed:
Awake, thou great monarch and
father of our country! Rise, and behold
thy beloved pcoplc!'
Potcmllin, amidst the tears of the
crowd, drew smile from those about
by saying quietly: GLOW foolish to
wake him! If he should get up. we
should all be in for it!''

They could neither attack the garrison

TO the monitor was underground. One

If the station house were attacked or
set on fire, the family would repair to
the cellar, and crawl on their hands and

Sometimes monitors were built in

Cost OF Stopping n Train.

BY n series Of calculations it has been
demonstrated that it costs railroad
company ten cents to stop a locomotive
and four cents for each stop of Il pas

passenger docs not make any move to
leave the train until the order is given
10 go ahead and train must be
brought to Il stop again to let the slow
going passenger of. This little Incl
dent costs the railroad company sixteen
or twenty cents; sometimes rs much as
the tardy passenger has paid. This is
one of The little leaks that n railroad
company undertakes to guard against,
and the number of coaches TO train is
limited to save expenses of stoppagc,
as well as to lessen the number of
pounds of coal consumed and wear and
