Loss Of Life In Travel.

Tho question Is often asked, "Is ocean
travel more hazardous than travelling by
railY" Here is an answer to this query
from the New York Sun:
There are plenty Of tables showing the
number Of lives lost to passengers carried
ON land, but none showing the proportions
for sQe travel. For the year ending June
80, 1898, the railroads Of this country car
ried 693, $50, 6l2 passengers, and IL, $780,
101, 1854 were carried one mile Two hun
bred and ninety mine passengers were kill
ed-that is, one passenger to every 1855,
1853 passengers carried, and one to every
1888, 986 carried one mile. In 1894, 1851
vessels were wrecked on the coasts and
rivers Of this country; they carried IA, 245
passengers and II, 44a crew. Six hundred
and sixty four persons lost their lives In
these wrecks. There is no distinction be-
tween passengers and crew In the total
loss but the proportions would give about
800 passengers lost to 865 sailors. That
proportion, however, cannot be correct, as
sailors are more exposed to death than pas
sengers. Assuming it, however, we find
that one passenger was lost to every AZ
passengers carried. Returns from transit
lantio lines would alter this proportion
considerably, we think.

Fashions Echoes.

The wool novelties are so elaborate as to
need little trimming and that little is in
the form of coarse lace and buttons.
Cloth buttons are even more fashionable
than metal ones on wool and cloth suits.
Buttons seem coming in again, especial
ly the large old fashioned ones in crystal,
paste, topaz, turquoise, etc. They are used
for the revers of bodices, cuffs of sleeves,
etc. Old miniatures mounted as buttons,
those of Dresden china, with flowers and
birds of all shapes and sizes, are used even
on lace and tulle dresses.
A pretty trimming the importers show
is velvet or silk applique edged with a
heavy cord. This applique is done on a
fine net, which may afterward be cut away.
Short full basqued outdoor jackets are
once more the mode.

Words without Rhyme,

An authority on such matters gives the
assurance that the number Of English
words which have no rhyme in the Ian
guaee Is very large He says: sFive or six
thousand at least are without rhymes, and
consequently can be employed at the end
of the verse only by Transporting the ac-
cent, coupling them with an imperfect
consonance or constructing an artificial
rhyme out of the two words. Among other
words to which there are no rhymes may
he mentioned month, silver, liquid, spirit,
chimney, warmth, gulf, sylph, music,
breadth, width, depth, honor, iron, echo. u

Life Of the Bee.

1t does not seem to be known generally
that the life Of a bee is extremely short.
According to Meehan's Monthly, every bee
that leaves the hive In the spring is dead
before fall and those which live over the
fall die very soon after the spring opens.
The death Of bee is usually very sudden
they have been known to fall even in
their flight and to be dead in q few SEQ
onds after reaching the ground.

The Rcycott in slavery Times.

The London NcWS in an article on the
boycott idea insists that the principle or
the system was born in America and not
in Great Britain Ireland gave Il name
merely, the NcWS contends, TO a prac-
tice that was originated in slavery times
in the United States. This is in an
swer to the charge made by papers in
this country that the idea is un-Amcri-
can and is of foreign importation.
The NcUS calls attention to practices
in vogue in the United States before
the war when one section attempted to
boycott the other, when one State at
tempted TO boycott Il section. and when
communities went to extremes in put
ting in force the boycott system against
school teachers and preachers, and
other people from the North who went
TO the South. The NCl0S insists that the
Objectionable features OF the system were
more prominent in those days and in
this country than they ever were in
Great Britain.
This may be- true, but the NcCS is re-
minded that when the American people
had their attention called to this vio-
lation of the fundamental principles of
the Constitution they were at some
pains to correct the evil, What is now
known as the boycott system has never
succeeded for any great length of time.
Wherever and whenever 1t has been
employed public sentiment and some
thing more violent in the shape Of pub
IL? prejudice has grown up against those
who practice it, This has been the
uniform rule, and the Trades Assembly
was wise to pronounce against the in
discriminate use of what has been so
much abused.
The truth is that the boycott has been
quite as often employed by corporations
and associations against the laborer as
it has by the laborer against corpora
tions. 1t may be said that the labor
associations are justified in fighting
fire with fire, but as corporations that
resorted to the boycott have lost public
sympathy and have as rule been driy-
en- to the wall, is it not probable that
labor associations, following the bad
example of those who have been I'M
merciful, may excite Il public prejudice
against themselves We suggested
some weeks ago that II test case be
made on which the statutes Of the sew
cral States and the National statutes
bearing on this question might be re-
viewed and receive authoritative inter.
probation in their application to the cir.
cumstances now before the public.
This ought to be done in the interest Of
all parties, and without any irritation
and without anything savoring of re-
sentiment or bitterness. " Chicago Iste'
