THE CAPEa ELECTRICs.
Another Contest Over the Grade Crossing
at Rigby.

The railroad commissioners yesterday
noon listened to Judge Symond's for
the Boston & Maine railroad, and objected
to the establishment of grade crossing
at Rigby. deeming it unwise and against
the public safety. He argued that the
electric road should be required to con-
struct either an overhead or subway
crossing at this point. He thought the
grade of the Boston & Maine could
be raised or lowered to allow this.
Clarence Hale, Esq, for the electric
road, argued that this was unreasonable
and unprecedented. He Said no road
of such nature could be expected to go to
such tremendous expense. He did not be-
lieye a grade crossing would be danger
Gus if proper precautions were taken.
The road was willing to observe any
precautions the board may direct.
The board took the matter under adj

Hired Relatives.

One of the curious national
branches of industry which have
grown to enormous proportions in
Bucharest, the capital of Roumania,
is the noble profession of "hired rela-
tives," which undertakes to furnish
to everybody in want of parents,
brothers, sisters, aunts, etc., the
necessary persons to represent them.
Persons who desire to got married,
for instance, and have no parents to
figure at their respective weddings,
or who are in possession of such who
decline to give their consent to the
marriage Of their sons and daugh-
tiers, need do nothing more than sta
ton themselves near the entrance to
the marriage license bureau. There
they will soon find themselves ac-
costed by some gentleman" or
lady" who for a moderate sum Of
money is willing to take the place OF
the absent parent.
For 20 lei (sD quite a respectable
looking father can be hired. Fifteen
lei is paid for a brother, and a fash
ionably dressed mother costs the
same amount. Investigation has dis
closed the fact that some of these
professional mothers have figured at
weddings 50 times year.-St. Louis

Here, for instance, are huge stacks
of timber, and our ears are greeted
with the hum and birT so certainly
associated with a sawmill This long
range of buildings is entirely devoted
to the making of spools. The ma
chimes employed are various. Hero
the wood is being cut into short
lengths; there a hole is being punched
through the small round pieces, while
yonder machine shapes the rough
wood into smooth spool in one
swift stroke.
It is by means of the wood required
to make these spools that we getsome
conception of the enormous output Of
this factory. Each day there is as
much thread finished here as would
wind round the world several times,
and in order to produce spools for the
thread it is calculated that an extent
of forest planted with birch urees
covering $50 acres has to be cut down
every year, while on an average IL
ships of large carrying capacity are
employed each season in bringing the
wood across to this country from
America and Canada.-Good Words.

All through the meal, at which the
parson was the only guest, the CHEEKY
little widow watched him narrowly
with her sharp little eyes, gossiping
gayly the while about this thing and
that. And the parson forgot his sor-
rows, forgot his shabbiness, yes, for
got his daughters even, and laughed
his weak, quavering laugh, which no
one had heard for years, as he told
long anecdotes of bygone days.
The widow, it seems, had observed
the old man for many months with
mingled pity and indignation and
had come to somewhat startling de-
termination in her funny, whimsical
fashion. To be sure, she had been
beset by doubt or two, mainly in
connection with her husband, dead
some 20 years But she was not
woman to hesitate long when she
saw her duty plainly, and these
doubts were therefore disposed Of
summarily.
''Ef the Lord wants me to marry
the parson and take care of him, why,
I guess he'll take care of Hiram Bick-
ford's feelings, and I don't have no
need to trouble myself about 'em-
And Hiram was always such sensi-
BILE critter!'
So the old lady, in her crisp black
silk gown and best lace cap, smiled
on the shabby, sad old man, while
she helped him literally to the sweets
on the table and finally said:
"James Wade, you'd orter be looked
out fur, and the Lord sez fur me to
do it."
The amazed parson fairly gasped
for an instant, but he had been ruled
all his life by womankind, so be
meekly murmured, "Yes'm."
cts kinder lonely without q man
bout the place, and that Jake, he's
wuthless 'nless there's man to sec
ter him. You and I, parson, are old
enough to do without highfalutin
talk bout love and sich, and so, Isay,
the sooner we're married the better"
The widow drew a sigh of relief as
she ended. to think that now the
matter was all settled. The parson
wiped his spectacles and said tear
fully, "God bless you"
A little later as they sat before the
blazing fireplace the parson faltered
out, "But what viii the girls say?"
"Says" responded the widow brisk
ly. .'Why, lots O things. Never
saw 'em when they didn't. But we
won't tell 'em till it's all over with,
and then let 'em talkl"
And so they were married. twas
wonderful to see how soon Parson
Wade got accustomed to his fine
broadcloth and his life ofease. Then,
too, he never realized that the affec-
tionate, almost obsequious manner
with which his daughters now treat
ed him was due to the change in his
fortunes.
The simple old man really believed
that of which he had dreamed was
come, and that his daughters had re-
turned to their old, childish fondness
for him. The old taunts and Sights
were all forgotten, and if ever Mrs.
Wade were tempted to remind him
she forebore, though she insisted al
ways that her money should not be
spent upon the girls"
So wealth Of cheer and comfort
came into the lonely, sad old life, and
Parson Wade seemed likely to end
his days almost unconscious that he
was ever otherwise than happy, for
every day the memory of the old sor-
row grows fainter, and he drinks the
sweet cup of obivion.-Springheld

Why Does the Earth Revolver

That the earth 'do move" IS fact
that has been demonstrated in a va
riety of ways, but exactly why it
does so is not so easy to explain. The
astronomers are not agreed upon this
question. and when doctors dis
agree" where are the common peo-
pie to look for explanations, answers
and solutions to such queries2 One
school of these star wise men claim
that the original initial centrifugal
force given the globe was directed in
a line slightly to one side Of the CEN
ter, which would Of course cause the
great globe to rotate on its axis, and
by what is known as the claw Of in

volve at a uniform rate of speed IN
til arrested by some outside forces. ="
Others claim that the motion Of daily
rotation is a compound resultant of
the general motion Of the earth in
its orbit and the attraction Of the
sun.-St. Louis Republic

THE HARVEST OF THE SEA.

The deep sea lies drea ming by the shore,
And up the rugged, grassy steep
The fisher folk bring home once more
Their harvest gathered from the deep.
Like ripencd plains at summer tide,
Their cornfel6s are the waters wide.
For wife and home and nesting child,
They travail on the trackless sea.

May be Gfe's last memory: (.
The accents Of farewell word 1;
May be the latest ever heard. J..
When on the sea Of life sail, :.
With weary longings and regret,

must not fail to cast my net,
Waiting till One perchance comes nigh
To show mo where the fishes lie.

sciousness, and with the morning
came new desire to live. It came
for so curiously does the trivial
mingle with the tragic in this check
cred life of our%from an invitation
out to teal The invitation came from
Widow Bickford, one of his parish
ioners, rich and childless and as full
of whims and oddities as a woman
can possibly be. Doubtless she had
summoned him to say that his dis
missal was richly deserved, reflected
the parson, but at all events he
should get a good supper, and the
widows squash pies were famous.
Afternoon came, and Parson Wade
brushed his threadbare clothes, tied
and retied his rusty necktie with
stiff, eager fingers and smoothed his
thin locks with infinite pains. He
was trembling all over with delight,
this foolish old man, for it was many
a weary month since any one had in
vited aim out to tea, and he was as
pleased as a child at the prospect.
A little smile stole over the wrin-
kled face with its sad lines and fur
rows of care, and Parson Wade de-
cided, in this new, intoxicating pleas
ure, to say nothing to his daughters
of the parish committees decision
until after his return from Widow
! Bickford's tea. So off he started,
with something akin to briskness in
his gait, and his head quite erect, as
became a pastor invited out to tea by
a wealthy member Of bis flock.

The Young Queen OF Holland.

Her Serene Majesty Wilhelmina He
lene Pauline Marie, queen Of the Meth
ef1ands, is now a charming young girl
OF IA, whose life so far has been as UNI
clouded and happy as though no cares
Of state were hanging over her head
for the future. She has no public
duties to fulfil, and she will have none
until she comes Of age and is crowned.
She lives very much as do other young
girls OF her age, except that much more
is expected of her, and she is brought
up with a constant preoccupation OF
her future destinies. Her life Is very
simple. She rises at Z, goes the first
thing to say good morning to her
mother, and then at has her break
fat, after which for three hours she Is
busy with her lessons and masters.
Her first governess until she was
years old was q French woman, Made
moiselle Liotard, who was then re-
placed by the queens English govern
ess, Miss Winter, who has been with
her ever since. Queen Wilhelmina is
very bright and clever, and studies
hard, SO as to learn everything that the
ruler of a kingdom should know. She
has a great deal of spirit, and a quick
ness Of comprehension that will stand
her in good stead some day, as you can
see by this little story. She was the
idol of her old father during his life
time, and one day, going into his pri-
vate room, she found the king walking
the floor with his hands clasped behind
his back, in a thoroughly bad humor.
He paid no attention TO her as she en-
tered. Are you angry, papa?" she
asked, going up TO him. Her father
either did not hear, or pretended not to
do so. The princess stood for a second,
and then crossing her own little hands
behind her back, she began to walk
resolutely up and down by the side Of
her father, without saying word.
The king made two or three turns
more, and then looking down at his
small companion, he suddenly burst
out laughing, and caught her up in his
arms, with every trace OF his Miniature
gone. This shows the woman Of re-
source who understands managing
men.-Harper's Young People.
