Electric Shocks.

Here are some odd opinions concern

Columbian School Of Mines: "An inter-
esting misapprehension which exists in
the minds of many people is one con-
corning the vital dangers which lurk in
the pressure of, say, 1000 volts. The
newspapers often tell of a man who has
been killed from such a pressure,

current suddenly decomposes all the
fluids in the body. The salt in the blood

"After Me. the DeIuge."

The celebrated Mettcrnich used the
pharso, "After me, the deluge," as imply
ing that after him no statesman would be
able to preserve the peace of Europe But
the celebrated mot was not original with
him, as Nine Pompadour, mistress of
Louis XIV, who died nine years before
Metternich was born, was quoted as say
ing, "Apres nous, lie deluge," and the
willy diplomatist only changed it to "Apres
moi" The idea did not originate with
her, quick wittcd though she was. Cicero
ascribes it to a Roman emperor, and Mil
ton supplies the name: "They practice
that when they fall they may fall in a
general ruin, just as cruel Tiberius would
wish, when 1 die, let the earth be rolled
in flames. "Reasons of Church Gov

in his day. Tiberius is represented as hav-

Good Memories of the Japanese.

The jinrikisha men are coolies, without
education or mental training. Most OF
them can read and write the names OF
streets and men and merchants and fac
tories They know the location and the
number of every one of the 31S, 800 houses
in Tokyo and the name of most every
one of the 1900, 900 inhabitants. They
are very seldom puzzled to find an ad-
dress, even though it may be given incor-
rectly, and if you tell them accurately
where you want to go they will take you
without the slightest delay or hesitation.
The same phenomenal memory appears in
other classes of the people, and you have
to be careful about telling n Japanese gen
tleman the same story Chicago

THE FRIENDSHIPS OF WOMEN.
An English Essayist Makes Some Terribl

An English Essayist Makes Some Terrible
Statements About Them.
Take, again, the friendship of one wom-
an for another when both stand upon the
Same moral and social level. 1t is in nine
cases out of ten devoid of the obligations
of loyalty and honor which are inherent in
the friendship between one man and an
other There is less reserve in it and also
less sincerity for a woman will reveal her
heart of hearts to friend and quarrel with
her the next day because she has piratcd
her bonnet o." alienatCd an admirCr. Such
relations no,,r become stable or sacred be-
tween women, for they are apt to begin by
chance, proceed with passion and die at
q breath. Even at fever heat woman
nevc.S gives as much to another as she
gives to her lightest lover, and at any me-
mcnt she is ready to sacrifice her friend at
the bchest Of any man in whom she ig
momentarily interested. For his enter
tainmcnt she will bctray any confidence
without sCruplc or regret, even if she
refrains from dcnouncing her feminine
friend to the first conner us soon as n shad-
ow of misunderstanding has arisen be.
tween them.
In the lives Of most men there are only
one or two friendship bonds, rivGtcd by
years of intercourse which nothing but
undrcamcd of trcachcry can sever. Wom-
en-, on the other hand, make and discard
friends with equal facility. If they are
seldom true to men, their fidelity to their
own soX is rarer far, for there are no Da-
vids and Jonathans among women, no
friendships founded on mutual faith and
held in honor. Until woman learns to
conduct her relations with her own sex on
the same principle rs that on which men
act the sisterhood of woman will never
come within measurable distance of the
possible. She has learned so much from
man in this decade that it is not unrcason-
able to hope she may yet learn the true
character of friendship as well as the pol
icy of combination. When woman stands
shoulder to shoulder with her sister in
public and in private life, she will stand
at the very gates of her kingdom, abreast
of that "brave vibration, each way free. ="

TREASURES IN A LIBRARY.
Including One of the Twenty-Five Com
plete Sets of the Declaration.

plete Sets of the Declaration.
From tire valuable collection of auto
graphs presented to the public library some
time ago by it's old librarian, Judge Cham
berlain, and placed as he desired in little
room leading from the librarians office,
four documents have been taken out and
placed in the periodical room on the fire
place shelf. These four are the "Declara-
ton Of Independence, the Address to
the King" the "Articles of Confcdera-
ton" and the Constitution of the United
States. They are not the originals, of
course; neither are they facsimiles. They
are half way between-a reprint in each
case Of the original document, followed by
the genuine autographs of the men who
signed.
In way not even the original Declare
ton of Independence preserved in Wash
ington is so good as the publdG library's
clear, readable copy. The original writ
ing, both text and signatures, has been
faded by a century's exposure until parts
of it are almost illegible. The original is
also on parchment, II material from which
ink fades very quickly as compared with
paper. Judge Chamberlain autographs
are on paper and ought to last indefinite
ly. To the right of the four documents,
which are neatly framed, is a Photographic
facsimile of the great Declaration, and to
the left hangs u printed copy, one of 10 is
sued Immediately after it was adopted to
each of the l 3 original states, authenticated
by the bold signature Of the president Of
the congress, John Hancock, and attested
by the secretary, Charles Thomson.
There are now in existence, as near as
can be calculated, % complete sets Of the
signers of the Declaration. That belonging
to the public library, made up of cut sig
natures, taken from otherwise unintGrest-
ing papers according to the original order
on single sheet and underneath the text
of the original is the most striking and
vivid to look at of any of the 90, but in
money value it must yield to the cOlleC
tions which are made up, mainly at least,
of entire autograph letters or documents,

curious map of special interest to local an
