He Possessed the Necessary Nerve

He Possessed the Necessary Nerve.
A good joke is being told on one Of
Marion county's officials. 1t seems
that on Saturday evening he was out
rather late and, accompanied by a
friend, dropped in at a popular res
taurant on his way home and ordered
supper. While awaiting the arrival
Of the same, in the conversation that
ensued he exclaimed to his friend in a
very cool manner. "You have not
nerve enough to shoot through a fell
lows hat" Now the friend is a fel-
low who dislikes very much to be
represented as coward and, coolly
drawing 48-calibre revolver from his
hip pocket, pointed the weapon at his
friend and discharged the same. The
bullet went true to the mark and
grazed the scalp of the auburn.haired
official uncomfortably clese. The bull
let found a lodging place in the wall
of the restaurant. Our genial county
official will no doubt refrain from
extending such challenge in the
future, or at least will remove his hat
from his head before the firearm is
discharged.

Commander Booth Tucker of the Sal
walton army is devoting some attention
to the cheap lodging houses OF Chicago:
The result of his investigation, as
might be expected, is that he finds
many lodging houses give poorer ac-
commodations than human beings
should be called upon to accept. 1t IS
poor is their poverty. Those who have
very limited means are forced to pay
high rates, when the quality Of the ac-
commodations which they receive is
taken into consideration. 1t is said to
be the desire of Commander Booth
Tucker to establish model lodging
house in Chicago, in which accommOda-
tions can be provided for dodgers at low
rates. It is to be hoped that he may,
meet with success in this venture. The
idea of such lodging house is not that
it shall be a charitable institution in
which wayfarers shall be cared for at
less than cost. The ledger should pay,
for his accommodation. But under
such management as an organization
like the Salvation army might provide,
with the desire for large profits elimi-
rated, the small payments would pro-
vide accommodations that are sanitary
and comfortable to degree that is not
common in the cheap lodging houses
which the very poor are forced to pat
ronize. Such lodging houses have prov
cd a success in London and other large
cities. In some cases they have been
deemed so important and desirable
that they have been established sby1 the
municipality itself. AS in the case Of
model pawn shops and other institu-
lions of the kind, one important bene-
fit from the establishment of model
lodging houses would be the effect upon
the lodging houses now in existence,
which would be forced by the compe-
tition to a higher standard. The fault
with these lodging houses now is not
so much that the prices are too high,
absolutely, but that in some cases the
accommodation are so poor that lodg-
ers ought not to accept them at any
price.

essentially a scatterer Of romance and
that none of it ever clings to him know
little Of the man. Because he deals in
stories is no reason that he is not a
whole dime novel in himself. Y. Kar-
lowski, formerly editor of the Chicago
Gazette Polska, a Polish paper, disap-
peared April 3. He was afterwards
supposed to have been killed by rail
road train near New York city. On the
evening Of July q he abruptly reap
pcared on Noble street, Chicago. Most
OF those who were familiar with his
visage, including his wife, imagined
shat he was his own ghost. It appears
that he was Ill in a hospital part of the

through several States, evidently with.
out any definite object in view. Kar-
lowski is fifty years old, and is a grad
rate of a German university. He has

LIS OPPOSITION TO WAR.

China's Greatest General Ie Pre-
Eminent1y a Man of Peace.
Secretary John w. Foster contrib
utes G. sketch of 1.-The Viceroy Lii Hung
Chang to the Century. Mr.. Foster
says:
Although the greatest general his
country has produced in this century,
he is pre-eminently a man of peace.
Confucius, whose disciple he is proud
to call himself, taught the folly Of war,
and the practice of the Government and
Chinese society in this respect is in
spired by his teachings. While Japan
has exalted the warlike spirit, and
there the soldier is the idol of the people,
in China the soldier is lightly esteemed,
and always takes rank below the liter
airy class. But Notwithstanding this
peaceful spirit. there is often war
party in China, and on two or three
memorable occasions it has fallen to
the lot of the Viceroy Ii to be pla ced in
antagonism to it.
The Kuldja question, about 1880,
brought the country to the brink of war
with Russia, and it was only by his
most active resistance to the war party
at Peking that peaceful settlement
was reached. 1t is now we'll known
that he opposed the late hostilities with
Japan. The Government Of the latter
during the progress Of the war obtained
possession of and published certain
memorials to the throne, dated in 1882,
and forwarded by the Viceroy, which
looked to the ultimate invasion of
Japan; but at best it was merely an in
choate scheme and probably encour-
aged by the Viceroy to aid his projects
for tile defense of the approaches to
Picking. He had better knowledge of
the military strength of Japan and of
the weakness of China than any other
of the Emperor's advisers, and he fear
ed the consequences to his country Of
q conflict.

The Oak.

The male flowers of the oak are gath
cred in distinct clusters round a long,
swaying stalk; they approach much
nearer to the conventional idea Of a
flower individually. Instead of being
:. mere aggregation of anthers Of pollen
cells on simple scales. those of the oak
are possessed OF distinct starlike, hairy
calyces, each marked off into six or
seven lobes, and containing ten slender
stamens, with two celled anthers. Then
the female flowers, which are usually
two or three, near each other, but not
connected, consist each of an ovary,
with three short-curved styles and in
vested by calyx that adheres closely
to it and becomes the husk or shell of
the acorn. The whole, except the styles,
is held in cup formed of many small.
overlapping scales. which afterward
lose their individuality and shrink into
mere roughness on the outside Of the
cup that holds the acorn. For only one
of the six ovules contained in the ovary
develops into an acorn of the acorn oak

The old maid has just been the sub
ject Of high eulogy by an Eastern
clergyman. incidentally, it should be
mentioned that the clergyman is a
bachelor. Having denounced those who
ridicule the old maid, he declared that
she was at the head Of charity organ
izations and temperance movements
in the various churches. 1.-THE best
comparison Of the merit Of an old
r1aid," he continued, us to place her be-
side a married woman, and she will
tower far above her." The world Will
grant most of what the preacher said
in praise Of old maids. The old maid
has plenty Of time on her hands. She
is able to attend to the affairs OF the
world, while the sphere Of the married
woman is usually limited to her own
home. 1t is pleasant, too, to find the
old maid such an admirable, sweet and
charitable creature. 1t is pleasant, not
Lecause the world would like to see
the old maid increase in numbers, but
because it recognizes that she must,
under present social conditions, al
ways exist. Since her existence Is
necessity, let her be as useful and sweet
as possible. The old maid has conso-
lation, too in the knowledge that she
Is a necessity. It's triumph for her
sex. The fact proves that there are
more women born into the world than
men, and was not the majority meant
IN r1,1a2 Therefore was not the world
made for the sex? With all this, how
ever, there are few who become old
maids from choice. The bachelor girl
may enjoy a degree of freedom denied
her married sister, but when the bios
som of spring has faded away she Is
likely to become mournrul. The moral
OF the superabundance Of the sex and
the existence Of the old maid Is that
man need not feel any way anxious
over the matter Of finding wife when
ever the marrying notion seizes him.

The Temperature" clock is novel
scientific contrivance that promises to
solve the problem of how to construct
a timepiece so that it will continually
run, and never need attention. 1t Is
clearly shown in accompanying dia-
gram, and is described as follows:
1t is composed of two reservoirs A.,
located a short distance apart, each Of
which has centrally tubular standard
B, open at their upper ends, and con-
nected by cross bar G. Within these
tubularstandards are placed pistons D !,
suitable quantity of mercury Is placed
within the reservoirs SO that the tubes
B will be partially filed.
The piston rods D pass through keep
ers F at the upper ends of the stand

held in proper location to each other by
means Of cross bar G. A coiled spring
III is placed on each rod D, between the
bar G and keeper F, in order to keep
the plunger e firmly seated on the mer-
curry, and to lower the cross bar G when
the mercury contracts.
Below the connecting cross bar c is a
