Accommodating Landlord.

A correspondent assures us that he never knew that 1t was possible for an inn keeper to be too accommodating to his guests until he went down to Nova Scotia recently and put up at a pleasant little ho- tel in the country. The landlord of this hotel laid 1t down as one of his principles of action to give people 8 little more than they asked for-to be "extra accommodate ing" as he termed it.
 The landlord brilliantly illustrated his adherence to this principle the very morn- ing after our correspondence s arrival at the hotel. Tho guest had to go away on the o'clock train that morning and asked the proprietor to call him at 6. The guest went to sleep in the calm assurance that he should be aroused at the proper hour.
 He seemed hardly to have fallen into sound sleep when he heard a terrific pound ing at his door. He sprang up wide awake.
 What's the matterp" he called out
 -Four o'clock! Four o'clookp' came the landlords voice from the other side of tho door. 1.-Two hours more to sleepl'S
 It is needless to say that the guest slept no more that morning. The landlords anxiety to be 'extra accommodating" fail ed of it's mark that time.-Youth's Con- panion.

HOW WHALES LOVE.
The Mother Whale Is Faithful to Her on
 spring Even In Death.


 Captain Scoresby relates how one of his harpooners, having struck young whale in order to secure the mother, saw her in- stantly arise, wrap her clippers round her young one and descend, dragging about 600 feet of line out of the boat with mar vicious force and velocity. Again she rose to the surface, darted furiously to and fro, frequently stopped short or suddenly changed her direction, giving every possi- ble information of agony.
 Tho boats continued to pursue her close ly for length of time, while she, poor creature, seemed utterly regardless of the dangers which surrounded her. At last one of the boats approached so near that a harpoon was thrown at her, then a second haTboon and third. Still she did not at- tempt to escape, but allowed the other boats to approach, so that more harpoons were attached till, in the course of an hour, the poor animal was killed.
 The fidelity of the male and female whale to each other exceeds that of most animals. Anderson, in his "Histery of Greenland" mentions that, some fisher linen having struck one of two whales, a malo and female that were in company together, the wounded creature made @ long and terrible resistance.
 With a single blow of its tail it upset a boat containing three men, by which they all went to the bottom. When another boat came up, the other whale still re- mained by it's companion and lent every assistance, till at last the wounded victim sank under the number and severity of its wounds while its faithful partner, unable to survive it's loss stretched herself upon the dead body of her mate and calmly shared its fate.-New York Dispatch.

VANDERBILT WAS DEFEATED By the University of Virginia Oy
 Two Points. THE SCORE WAS SIX T0.FOUR Cornell, Vanderbilts Star Player Was Badly Hurt, But He Made Wonder
 full Play.

Atlanta, Nov 16.-The game between Vanderbilt and the University of Vir- ginia here this afternoon resulted in fla vor of Virginia by 6 to 4. In the first half Virginia by fine bucking and interfer- ence. made a touchdown, an easy goal being kicked by Davis. Vanderbilt held Virginia back in splendid style and made several runs This half showed that Vanderbilt would play steady. sclen- tific game, although Virginia was in- clined to take an unfair advantage at times. Cornell, Vanderbilt's full back and star player, was badly hurt, but he continued in the game.
 The second half opened with Wander bilt in defense of the uphill goal. In four minutes, by very fine interference, Con nell was enabled to make a touchdown. This was done by remarkable run of seventy yards, and in the midst of great excitement the left guard failed to kick goal. After this run Connell could scarcely remain in the game, but his wonderful pluck displayed itself and he kept on. Vanderbilt clearly outplayed Virginia in this half. Conner, Wander bilt's quarterback, made a fine run of thirty yards by a quick pass and clever interference. The game ended with the ball on Virginias forty-fve yard line and in Vanderbilt's possession. It looked as though a few minutes more would give Vanderbilt a touchdown.
 The teams lined up as follows:
 Administrations Killebrew, cen ter; Penton, right guard; Davis, right tackle; Cock, right end; Morris, left guard; Pitcher, left tackle Jones, left end; Hoxton, quarterback; Newell, left half back; Lambert full back; Biggs, right half back.
 anderbilt-Postions Hughes, cen ter; Williamson, right guard; Elliott, right tackle; Keller, right end; Johnson, left guard; Kittrel, left tackle; Smith, left end Connor, quarter back; Lynch (subbed for Howe), left half back; Con- nell full back; Boogher, right half back.
 Officials-Warner of Cornell, umpire; Taylor, umpire; Lieutenant Heavey, referee; Lieutenant Morrow, Rame of Sewanee, linesmen.

THE MoToRMAN's DIFFICULTY.
Too Many Levers to Handle to stop Car
 as Quickly as He Might.

as Quickly as He Might.
 No believe that it has been very fairly demonstrated that four wheeled car can be brought to a standstill by the hand brake within 2 space sQ short that neither the airbrake nor the electric brake Gould do much botter md that the difference In favor of tho two latter is more than coun- terbalanced by c6ftaIn disadvantages in- herent in them. A cable car is by no means as heavy as motor car nor is there Q cable line anywhere in the country running at as great a speed as electric cars arc habitually driven. We think also that there is no question at all but that an cleo trio car, notwithstanding its greater weight, can be stepped moro quickly than can a cable car and that all it requires with it's present braking facilities is that those fa- cilities should be applied intelligentiy.
 A cable car cannot back out nor rely upon anything to stop it's course but the . adhesion of tho wheels on tho track. With the electric car, as with tho steam locomo- tive, the wheels may bc reversed as soon as tho speed is reduced so that this may be done without skidding. The storage bat tery car is moro difficult to stop than the trolley, if both arc at tho same speed, sim ply because the storage battery car weighs just about twice as much us the heaviest cable car.
 The greatest trouble, in our opinion, with the braking facilities of our electric cars is that tho motorman has too much to do already. He has the controlling lever in one hand, tho brake lever in the other, reversing switch, which we suppose he is expected to control with his teeth, while he blows a whistle with his mouth; bell push to occupy one of his feet and the pawl on the brake ratchet which his other foot is intended to control and sand valve that must be operated somehow. There is canopy switch also, which, if he be very tall and sprightly, he might work with the top of his head. Now, supposing we add an emergency brake or two, as The American Machinist would have us do, that would have to be controlled in the same way that the ono armed fifer hold his fife while passing his hat for aims, and this, we think, would not be an effective method of control. l.-Electricity

Missionaries Spared.

Boston, Nov. 16.-The following. cable message has been received by the Amer ican Mission board from Rev. H. Dwight of Constantinople by way of Phillipolis:
 Five hundred were killed in Harpot; eight of twelve mission buildings burned; missionaries lives spared; houses stripped; Turks will regard this as test of intention of United States to defend missions; no missionaries anywhere killed; villages everywhere desolated; people naked and starving; instant help"
 The buildings destroyed are estimated to be worth from $75.000 to $100,0O0. liar pot is city in Armenia. 200 miles south west of Erzeroum and about twenty miles east of the Euphrates. Its chief importance lies in it's position. It is the center of large number of villages cov- ering an extended plain and constituting the only section of Armenia where the Armeians can fairly claim to constitute a majority of the population. As such it has been for many years the most i'm portant and successful station of the Apcfm in eastern Turkey. The city it. self has large Turkish population, but the place is almost entirely Armenian. It is the seat of Euphrates college.

Turks Say Armenians Did It and MT. JeTy-
 cit Says Turks Did It.
 London, Nov. 16-A representative of the United Press at Constantinople re- ports under date of November 15 that at o'clock on the evening of November 15 M. 4. Jewett, United States consul at Sivas, sent telegram to United states Minister Terrell Informing him that the disturbances which had taken place at Sivas 500 Armenians and ten Turks had been killed, and ithat according to official reports a large body of Turks were then approaching town Jewett gave no de- tails of the disorders, but the discrepancy in the figures shows that the Turkish allegations that the Arrnenians were ag- gressors are absolutely untrue and that the Armenians were deliberately massa- cred.
 Minister Terrell has also received dis patch from Harpool, in the Pashalik of Diarbekir, and sixty miles west north west of the city of that name. The dis patch Is dated November 1S, and says that the lives of the occupans of four Of the buildings burned at that place were saved and the occupants of eight other burned houses perished in the flames: The remaining houses were stripped or every article of value. The country In that vicinity, the dispatch says Is deso- late and thousands of persons are home less and destitute in fact, starving.

 A dispatch from Madrid. in the Pasha- lik of Diarbekir,' dated November 13 says the inhabitants of the villages burned in that vicinity. are in the direst need Of food and clothing and many are dying from starvation ana exposure.
 It is stated in dispatches from perfectly reliable authority that in the Syrian dis trict of Curunden 4000 men, women and children have been killed and many oth- CTS are suffering from wounds and lack of medicines, food and clothing.

 Almost identical with the drift of this saying was the answer of Dr. Whately to a friend at Oxford, who complained to him that he could not understand logiO and that he must take tutor or "coach." "Take a coach9'' was Whately's reply. "Take pupil" In both cases the mean- ing was the same-namely, docendo dis. cimus.-Notes and Queries
