LOVE-.

Gudden upon my night there woke
The trouble of the dawn.
Out of the cart the red light broke
To broaden on and on.
Ny days are tuned to finer chords
And lit by higher suns.
Through all my thoughts and ali iny
words
A. purer purpose runs.
No matter If my hands attain
The golden crown or cross;
Only 10 love is such gain
That losing is not loss.
And thus, whatever fate betide
OF rapture or of pain,
If storm or sun the future hide,
My love is not in vain.
So only thanks are on my lips,
And Though my love ! see
My earliest dreams, like freighted ships,
Come sailing home to me.

birthday Kisses Are Harmless.

Mr.. SEWERS, who keeps a small cigar
store here, entered his shop recently and
caught man named Moineau with his
arm around Mrs. SEWERS and giving her
several kisses. SEWERS sued Moineau for
5000 for alienation of his wife's affec-
tions. Moineau contended that he was
only kissing Mrs. SEWERS in honor of her
birthday, and Judge Loranger dismissed
the case, considering that the grounds Of
action were not sufficiently serious. -

Good Health Above Wealth.

Everybody knows this, and If ques'

who will spend any amount of labor in

cheapest and most efficient external

RAILROADS IN JAPAN.
No Conductor Ever Enters the Cars, and
the Newsboy Is Prohibited.

No Conductor Ever Enters the Cars, and
the Newsboy Is Prohibited.
The railroads of Japan are solidly
constructed and carefully run, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph The gauge is
three feet six inches, and the cars are
generally eighteen feet long. There
are first, second and third classes, and
the fares are for several classes one,
two and three sen (cents) mile. The
Japanese are great travellers, and more
than nine-tenths of the travel is of
second and third class The rate of
speed is uniformly about twenty miles
an hour The trains are run on what
is known as the tsstaff'' system, and a
train is not allowed to leave the sta
tion where it meets another until the
conductor has received from the con-
ductor of the other train a symbol
called a ssstaff,'' which is his evidence
that he is entitled to leave.
In the frst-class carriage, which is
either one room, like our drawing
room cars. or in three compartments,
like the English, one finds cushion
seats, wash hand bowls and water
closets, and generally a teapot and
cups, the former occasionally replen-
ished with hot water. If this is lack
ing, the passenger can buy on the plat
form at any station a teapot full of tea
and cup for two and one-half cents
The teapot is pretty enough to bring a
quarter in this country, and the cup
would be cheap at ten cents. You buy
the whole outfit and could carry it
away if you pleased. AS a rule, the
pot and cup are left in the car and
about sixty per cent. of them are 1e-
covered by the vender.
The railroads in Japan are partly
owned by the government and partly
by private stockholders, but the rates
and rules of the government roads
govern the others also. At all the sta
tions are overhead bridges, and cross
ing the track at grade is prohibited, as
in England. The stations are roomy
and neat, the platforms ample, and at
both ends of the platform the name of
the station is conspicuously posted.
The passenger shows his ticket on GO
ing through the gate to his train, and
surrenders it at the gate on leaving.
No conductor enters the cars. We
also miss the familiar visits of the en-
terprising young man who sells news
papers and popular books, and who
loads our seats at home with lozenges,
photograph albums, comic periodicals,
vegetable ivory, matches, chewing
gum and other merchandise.

Mr.. Bland's bill directs Secretary Car
lisle to go ahead at once and issue silver
certificates to the amount of $50, ,l56, ,68l-
that being the amount of the seigniorage,
or profit to the government, on the pur-
chase of silver bullion under the Sher-
man law of 1890. 1t commands Mr..
Carlisle to go ahead and coin all the
balance of the silver bullion in the treas
ury vaults, purchased under that same
Sherman law, ''into legal-tender stand
ard silver dollars" Then it goes another
step farther and orders Mr.. Carlisle to
use the standard silver dollars to be SC
coined to redeem the treasury notes
issued against the silver bullion when il
was purchased. The operation of this
bill, if it becomes law, in the opinion
of the New York Recorder, cannot fail to
be beneficial. First, it will replenish
the treasury and give it lots of money
for some time to come to pay current
national expenses with. Second, it will
block the bondholders' scheme for com
pelling the treasury to contract series
of new loans, Third, it will increase the
volume of the currency by about 81, ,000,.
600 month for the next fourteen
months. Mr.. Bland is the only demo
cratic leader in the house who has pro
posed single line of legislation tina

His bill is good one, and the appar
emily fair chance it has of passing is th'
most cheerful bit of news sent from con
gress for long time.

It. is not only in the United States
that the sons of Erin have secured
place among the leaders of the people.
This fact has been called to mind by
the circumstance that while all France
was mourning one il1ustrious Irishman
in the person of honest old Marshal
MacMahon, the masses of the popula-
ton of Austria Hungary were acclaim
ing another Irishman, the Irish peer,
viscount Taafe, who holds the post of
prime minister of Austria, for bring
ing forward a bill in favoz- of universal
suffrage. In Spain one of the most in
iuential military leaders is q general
of Hibernian. origin, Organ by name,
who held the post of minister of war
during the former administration of the
present premier; while the queen re-
gents private secretary and most
trusted adviser and friend bears the
name of Murphy. The little kings
governess is also an Irish woman; and
SO, too, is the governess of the young
queen of Holland. The tutor of EN-
peror William was an Irishman named
Audanne.
