A Latter Day PhiIanthropist.

Loans without security are bait
which usurers often hold out to the I'M
wary, but q certain LacOur thought it
might be made still more tempting by
advertising that people could pledge
their honor for substantial monetary
advance. Honor is ineXhaustible espe-
cially when it can be turned into hard
cash, SO the scheme babe fair to succeed.
But on the face of it as a commercial
speculation it was poor investment.
It's philanthropy was its chief recon-
mendation, and therefore its author, q
chemists assistant formerly, with two
companions, felt emboldened to initiate
Nine. Eugene Buffet and sing in the
streets to invite the charitable public to
contribute to the New Students Friend
~ society, as they called their philan-
thropic loan office.
The trio selected the Normandy coast
resorts for their tour and du dver-
tised their philanthropic motlS u in the
local press. But unfortunately.M. La
cour preached without practicing. He
had himself contracted number of lit
tie debts on the strength of his honor,
and his creditors were not quite satisfied
with the value of that security, and
when recently he borrowed from a
friend a bicycle, which he at once
handed over to cafe keeper who was
dunning him for money, the bicyclist
took an unkind view of the transaction
and lodged a complaint with the police,
with the result that the latter day phi
lanthopist is now in safe custody, medi-
tating upon the worthlessness OF honor
in worldly transactions. London Tele-

OWNING A HOME.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says:-
''Is it better that young couple
should board, live in rented rooms or
house, or set out with a determination
to own home, although the means
to buy it are limited? That is the oues-
ton which troubles a good MANY
people beginning life, and as Sir Ro-
ger De Coverly remarked, Much NAV
be said on both Sides The weight of
the argument in the general run, how
ever, lies on the side of owning a
home. Hundreds of families in cities
discovered that fact during the hard
times Of the past two years. The house
free from debt, is a perpetual lesson
of the Importance of living within
ones income, whether it be large or
small. The practice of saving is con-
tinued in order to beautify the home
and then to accumulate a reserve
fund to provide against emergencies.
The wide difference between rent and
taxes is added to the savings, and
when pinch comes and the income
is reduced, or for d time stops alto
gether, the hardship is less felt, for
the family that has no rent to pay can
get along for some time on a small
sum when necessity compels. The
argument is ali on the side of owning
home instead of renting, provided
too much is not undertaken and the
determination is adhered to that
rigid economy shall be practiced
until the last payment is made"

MOUND BUILDERS IN MINNESOTA.
Recent Discoveries In the Basin of the
Upper Mississippi.

Recent Discoveries In the Basin of the
Upper Mississippi.
An exceedingly valuable article bear
ing 11Don the prehistoric inhabitants of
Minnesota has been prepared by the
Hon. ]. V. Brewer, embodying the re-
sults of Investigations made bv himself
and Professor T. FL. Lewis about the
head waters of the Mississippi. MI.
Brewer is an adept i'll exploration and
the best authority on the basin Of the
upper Mississippi. He has found traces
aud relics of the mound builders through.
the entire basin of the upper Mississippi,
from Lake Itasca to the falls of Po-
kegama. Through this district the
mounds are discovered everywhere.
They are composed of various materials
and were probably erected for different
purposes, but all bear witness to the ex-
istence here in prehistoric times Of a
people who have now utterly vanished
from the face of the earth
This mound building people lived
probably, in Mr.. Brower's opinions,
where our people now have their homes
at least 1900 years ago. They discov
cred and opened the various portages
between the great lakes in the Missis-
sippi BASIN They were of a race su~
perior to any of the savage tribes that
succeeded them. The host of relics
picked up here and there through the
region, together with the contents of
mounds that have been explored, gives
us what knowledge we have Of them.
They resided mostly upon lake shores,
in villages and livea upon game and
fish. They used vessels of pottery, stone
implements, the bow and arrow and
implements Of copper. They were of
full stature, and the formation of the
skulls that Mr. Brewers party exhumed
and examined indicates a high degree
of intelligence.
The existence Of mounds of smaller
construction-efigy mounds and sites
for worship or for burial-over wide
portion of the Mississippi valley sug
gests the general distribution at some
prehistoric day of this race of people, of
whose other work we know so little,
and whose origin and fate are wrapped
in common mystery. Paul Globe.

RUNAWAY MARRIAGES.

Every week the papers chronicle
the run away of one or more young
couples of the Gretna Green of New
Jersey. There, without the formaIity
of license and with the scantiest of
ceremony they are married, return
ing at leisure to the bread and butter
seriousness of life. Not all of these
marriages are forced by the unwill
ingness of parents; in many cases the
escapade has proved only pleasant
surprise to all parties concerned. But
still they go.
There is serious side to this ques-
ton which might we'll be considered.
However chaperoned and however
circumspect young people may be in
these hasty weddings, it is doubtful if
they can in such manner approach
this most sacred obligation in life with
the spirit which the occasion de-
mands. For the old fashioned lovers
who fee from an angry father the
world will always have sympathy, in
that they are unwillingly robbed of
Une privilege OF wedding IN the qul-
ct dignity which so we'll becomes the
bridal party at the altar.
Marriage has too many serious
problems to be approached in the flip
pant haste of runaway match. No
young man, unless he is forced by
stress OF circumstances, can afford to
subject the woman he loves to such
plight. 1t is as undignified as it is
unseemly. 1t is one of the many in
fuences which seem to day TO be less
ening in the minds of the marriage
bond.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1895-09-09

Let me especially warn the reader,
particularly the newly married reader,
against the type Of friend from the
country who, SO soon as he learns you
lave set up a house in London, sud-
denly discovers an interest in your for
tunes which, like certain rivers, has
run underground farther than you can
remember They write and tell you
they are thinking of coming to town
and would like to spend a few days
with you. They leave their London ad
dress vague. 1t has the look of blank
which you are expected to fill up. You
shrewdly surmise that, SO to say, they
mediate paying visit to Euston and
spending a fortnight with you on the
way. But if you are wise and subtle
and strong you cut this acquaintance
ruthlessly as You lop branch. Cut it
away and cast it into the oven of obllv-
ion. Don't fear to hurt it. These peo-
pie care as little for you as you for
them. All they want is board and lodg-
ing, and if you give it to them you may
be an amateur hotel keeper all your
days. - Prose Fancies, LIE Gallienne

Measuring the Heat of the Hand.

An illustration of the marvellous accu-
racy characterizing tools or instruments
of measurement now employed as COM
pared with those of former times is
given-name1y. that whereas formerly
001 inch marked on a drawing would
have been objected to on the ground
that it was difficult or impossible to
work SO closely to measures as that, at
the present time .0005 inch is measured
in every fine workshop, and dimensions
given in hundredths or even thou
sandths of an inch frequently appear on
drawings without objection on the part
of the workmen. The instruments of
measurement are now made with such
a degree of refined accuracy that even
the warmth of the hand may expand a
rod IL inches long so that the amount
of expansion can be measured It has
become important in fine measurement
to be careful that the piece to be mea-
sured should have the same tenn
perature as that of the instrument by
which the size is determined By first
handling a rod of the length named and
measuring it, particularly if the rod be
of brass or copper, and then, after al
lowing the rod to cool, handling the
gauge until the latter expands, it is
found that discrepancy of from .007
inch to OF inch may be sometimes made
apparent, due entirely to differences OF
temperature. American Machinist.

COREAN GIRLS.

COrean girls, according to III. S.
Saunderson, after enjoying freedom
till they are eight years old, are con-
signed to the women's quarters,
where they live in seclusion till they
are married at sixteen or seventeen
years. After marriage the woman is
allowed to see no man but her hus
band. The boys, on the other hand,
are taught that it is undignified for
them to enter the women's depart
ment of the house. They never see
their brides until the wedding day,
all having been arranged for them,
often when both bride and bridegroom
are infants. The marriage ceremony
is simple. The bride and bridegroom
invite their most intimate friends to
assist them in dressing their hair in
the manner BETTING their new estate.
Then the bridegroom mounts white
pony, which is led by two servants,
while two others on either side sup
port the rider in his saddle. Thus he
proceeds to the house of the brid, ac-
companied by his relatives. At their
destination they find pavilion erect
ed in the courtyard of the house, in
which the bride and her relatives are
awaiting their arrival. A goose which
the bridegroom brings with him, is
then produced. The bride (who has
to cover her face with her long Slew
es) and the bridegroom then bow to
each other until their heads almost
touch the ground. This they do three
or four times, and are then man and
wife. A loving cup is passed around
and then the bride is taken off to the
women's apartments of her husbands
home, where she is looked after by
her mother and mother-in- law, while
the groom entertaines his friends.
The husband must maintain his wife
properly and treat her with respect.
Marriage is the great event in a Co.
rean's life, for he then attain's mans
estate. Before marriage, no matter
how old he may be, he is treated as
boy and has to to maintain a defer
entail attitude toward the married
men, even though they be only half
his age.-Populdr Science Monthly.

Coal Vessel Loading Machines.

Machines for transferring coal from
cars to vessels more rapidly than can be
done by any of the old processes are
now receiving great deal Of attention
at Lake Erie ports, and three new ma
chimes are soon to be put in operation at
Cleveland. One of these is for the Erie
Coal Transfer company and is on the
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
dock This will probably be completed
within week or two The loaded car
is run into large cylinder, where it is
securely fastened, and the cylinder is
then rolled up an inclined plane, stop
ping i'll the right position to let the coal
fall out of the car by gravity. The ma
chine that is being built ON the Cleve-
land and Pittsbu1g dock consists of a
cradle, in which the loaded car is placed
and then swung on a trunnion, tipping
the car sufficiently to pour out its con-
tents The coal falls through six hop
pers into six buckets, which are then
conveyed to the hold of the vessel.
A third machine, differing from the
other two, is to be built on the Cuddy-
Mullen dock The machine emptying
into six hoppers is made by the Brown
Hosting and Conveying Machine COM
pany, and it is said that the company
have orders to build similar machines at
Toledo, Huron and Ashtabu1a. At the
latter place there is one of the McMyler
machines, which was built last year.
All of these machines are for unloading
cars which have no hoppers in their bot
toms Iron Age.

Yankee Made Alaskan Curios.

Ex-State Senator E. G. VOORHEES, OF
Suffer Creek returned, with his family,
from visit to Alaska yesterday on the
City of Pueblo.
'3There is one thing from which the
ordinary tourist cannot be weaned, :"
said he. "He will buy curios wherever
he goes That is the way in Alaska. We
hear good deal about the fine carving
done by the native Alaskan. Now. the
fact is, the Alaskan knows mighty little
about carving. The crack carver of Sit
ka came down to San Francisco. I was
told. to learn the art of carving, and
now he turns out barrels of ingenious
contrivances supposed by his customers
to be indigenous to the soil of Alaska
only. On boat which went to Juneau
a short time before we arrived, there
were actually 5000 pounds of Alaskan
curios, manufactured by Americans al

WHAT rs ELECTRICITY?

AS far as the writer is able TO un-
derstand the matter now, electricity
is simply motion of the molecules of
the different substances which are
the subjects of electrical action, just
as heat, light and sound are, and the
only difference between these forces
is the rate of the motion. The motion
of sound, as we all know, is compare
lively slow; that of heat and light are
very rapid. That of electricity would
appear to be somewhat between the
slow motion of sound and the rapid
motion of those heat waves whose
motion is the slowest. And it would
appear that the wonderful adapt
ability which electricity shows for
every kind of work is due entirely
to the position which its rate of mo-
ton occupies in the scale of the en-
ergies. 1t would also appear that the
reason this wonderful agent laid dor
mant for so many ages and is even
now only partially developed is, very
largely at any rate, because we have
no sense which responds to the par
ticular periods of vibration comprised
within the electrical range.
Heat currents would be far more
efficient than electric currents if we
could make use of them as we do of
the latter; and, as before remarked,
the reason electricity is such useful
agent appears to be because its rate
of vibration is sufficiently high to ad
NIT of rapid transmition, yet not suf-
ficientlY so to be destructive. 1t only
becomes destructive when it is trans
formed into heat.-Electricd ReUielU.
