IS A MONSTER BOOK.

1t Is Said the Largest One in the World
Is In the British Museum
The Chinese department of the Brit
ish Museum library contains, says a
writer in Cassell's World of Wonders,
single work which occupies no fewer
than 5000 volumes. This wonderful
production Of the Chinese press was
purchased a few years ago for $4,000,
and is one of only very small num-
Der of copies now in existence. 1t is
an encyclopedia Of the literature OF
China, covering q period of twenty
eight centuries-from 1905 B. G. to 1900
A. D.
It owes it's origin to the literary pro-
clivities of the Emperor Kang-he, who
from 1862 to 1922. In the. course of
his studies Of the ancient literature of
his country Kang-he discovered that
extensive corruptions had been allowed
to creep into modern editions, and he
conceived the idea OF having the text
Of the originals reproduced and pre-
served in an authoritative form. This
was mighty conception, truly, and in
it's execution it remains unique down
to the present time. For the purpose
Of carrying out the work Kang-he ap-
pointed a commission learned men to
select the writings to be reproduced,
and employed the Jesuit missionaries
to cast copper types with which to exc
cute the printing. The commission
was occupied for forty years in it's great
task. Before the work was completed
Kank-he died, but he had provided that
his successor should see the book COM
pleted, and he faithfully carried out
his trust. The book is arranged in six
divisions, each dealing with a particu-
lay branch Of knowledge. The divi-
sions are thus designated: First, writ
ings relating to- the heavens; second,
writings relating to the EARTH: third,
writings relating to mankind; fourth,
writings relating to inanimate nature;
fifth, writings relating to philosophy;
sixth, writings relating to political
economy.

A SMUGGLING conspiracy has been
unearJhed at Bayfield,, this state, and
although no arrests have been made,
the smugglers have been frightened
away. During the past year it is said
that thousands of dollars worth of
whisky and opium have been Struggled
over from Canadian points into Bay
field by alleged fishermen who were
backed, it is alleged, by a company of
highly respectable merchants. 1t is
known that the company has agents in
the large lake ports and that it has
been employing about thirty men who
pose as fishermen, owning their own
boats The goods we're procured main
ly from Port Arthur, Ont, from one Of
the company's agents, and were hidden
in the boats and taken to Bayfield,,
from where they were shipped to other
places. 1t is said that suspicion was
at first aroused by the large quantity
of goods always shipped to the same
address. Arrests are expected to fol-
low

Don't snub a boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison, the in
ventor, first entered Boston, he wore a
pair of yellow linen breaches in the
depth of winter.
Don't snub a boy because of the ig-
norance Of his parents. Shakespeare,
the worlds poet, was the son of man
who was unable to write his own name.
Don't snub a boy because his home
n plain and unpretending. Abraham
Lincoln's early home was lob cabin.
Don't snub boy because he chooses
a humble trade. The author of the
pilgrims Progress" was a tinker.
Don't snub a boy because Of his
physical disability. Milton was blind.
Don't snub boy because OF dizziness
in his lessons. Hogarth, the celebrated
painter and engraver, was a stupid boy
at his books.
Don't snub boy because he shutters.
Demosthenes, the great orator OF
Greece, overcame a harsh and STAN

Don't snub him for any reason. Not
only because he may some day outstrip
you in the race of life, but because it
is neither kind. nor right, nor Chris

THE MAN AT THE LEVER.
Hoxv a Locomotive Engineer Acts When
Running 81 Very Fast Train.

Running 81 very Fast Tram.
The locomotive engineer is a. remark
ably placid fellow, with habit of de-
Iiberate precision in his look and mo-
tons. He occasionally turns a calm
eye to his gauge and then resumes his
quiet watch ahead. The three levers
which he has to manipulate. are under
his hand for instant use, and when they
are used 1T is quietly and in order,
as an organist pulls out his stops The
noise in the cab makes conversation
difficult, but not as bad as that heard
in the car when passing another train,
with or without the windows open, and
in looking out of the engine cab the
objects are approached gradually, not.
rushed past, as when one looks lat
orally out of a parl0r car Or window.
The fact is that the engineer does not
look at the side-he is looking ahead
and therefore the speed seems less, as
the objects are approached gradually.
Those who have ridden at ninety miles
an hour on a locomotive know that on
a good road land there are many such)
the engine is not shaken and sWayed
in a terrific manner, but is rather com
Portable, and the speed is not so ap-
parent as when one is riding in a
passenger car, where only a lateral
view is had. The engineer can be very
comfortable if he is quite sure of the
track ahead, and it is only in rounding
curves or in approaching crossings
that he feels nervous, and it is doubt
full if it is any more strain to run a
locomotive at high speed than to ride a
bicycle through crowded thorough
fares. Judging by the countenances Of
the bicycle rider and the engineer, the
engineer has rather the best of it.

Drawn may be found together in the

bined trunk and bathtub by SandoW,
he modern Samson, is cited. The ab-
sence Of bathtubs in Europe where he
has travelled, suggested the need of
some such contrivance and the strong
man hit upon the very convenient and
useful article in question. The body
of the trunk is lined with tin and the
interior filled with trays. Clothing or

which are made to fit the inside of the

moved and the trunk instantly con-

The Novelty Company is Winding up it's

company is to be sold out in a very
short time at about 80 cents on the
dollar. The complete inventory of the
stock is to be filed with the court with

thing is to be disposed of. There is a
bare possibility that the factory may be
started up again to work up the stock
on hand. But this is to be done only
if orders for future delivery come in in
sufficient volume to make it practicable.
Everything in the retail department is
TO be disposed of, however.

ONE of the most noticeable incidents
of the recent earthquake shock is the
behavior of the tall sky scrapers which
have become such a marked feature in
building in the large cities. In these
buildings the seismic disturbance was
not noticed in the least when in build
ings of ordinary construction the move
ment of the earth was very apparent.
This indicates that the ordinary sky
scraper, although it looks like flimsy
affair when under construction, is q
very substantial structure. No doubt
in countries subject to earthquake dis
turbances the steel building will take
precedence over the low stone structure
as being the more safe of the two.

The Election.

The results of the state elections held
on Tuesday are approximately as fol-
lows:
Pennsylvania republican majority
100000.
Ohio republican majority, 100000.
New York republican majority 20, 600.
Iowa republican majority 65 900.
Maryland republican majority Is, 900.
Kentucky republican majority Il, 1000.
New Jersey republican majority
$4,000
1t would seem from the returns that
the food tide of republicanism is still
at high water mark. The retention in
the three great northern states Of the
enormous gains of last year is supple
mented by the addition of two strong
holds of democracy. Even in the flush
of those two former victories these
accessions to republican strength were
not dreamed of, and a republican
majority of $4,000 in New Jersey is
certainly pleasing to republicans.
Looking the whole field over it would
seem that some democrat should move
to make it unanimous and then make a
fresh start for 1896

which parochal schools may be re-

Energy Going to Waste.

Every now and then some fool man

accomplishment are not what they
were in the old days-whenever those
days were. The luxury of modern
civilization and the substitution of me.
chanical for bodily energy are held &C :
cOuntable for this deplorable state of
things. OF course it is useless to argue
against them. Noman who has grown

is going to pay half dollar to a work.

cOnstitutiOnally compelled to use his
muscles. He has lost the prehensile
caudality that adorned his thousand
times great-grandfather, because his
pursuit of agriculture and small game
took HIM out of the trees and gave him

with this rather unimpOrtant exception
he is stronger, bigger and better

Mr.. Darwin has endowed him. The

domestic calisthenics, and his exercise
would count for something The eX-
