Something Wrong.

Everyone in the street stopped. Even'
a child could see that there was some
thing wrong Every time the horse
started the sparks flew from where the
tire touched the stone. That is why the
lady got out. A crowd gathered and
gazed curiously while she examined the
horse, the harness. the vehicle and The
wheel that wouldn't so round A po-
liceman came forward and suggested
that the horse was balky. a gentle
man who belonged 10 the Society with
the long name. said that the beast
was overworked. and should be unhar-
messed and rubbed down. Another Idan
advised her TO back a bit and take
new start. A fourth suggested that IL
she would drive right on, sparks or no
sparks. the difficulty would remedy it
self: while still another insisted that
unless a new tire be put on the wheel,
the whole outfit would collapse. These
conflicting counSels increased the con
fusion Of the distressed lady. but they
did not make the wheel so round
Just then a carriage drove Up. a gem
tleman got out and asked what was the
matter One Of the byStanderS said IL
was a brea lcdown, while each of eleven
others gave a different explanation as

"COndemned Cannon. /"

"There are hundreds of cannon
made by the Government cash year
for the express purpose of being con-
demned," said an ordnance officer of
the War Department. "Every session
Congress passes number of resolu-
tions donating condemned cannon to
army posts, battlefelds and soldier
monument associations. The supply
OF condemned canaon from the war
ran ont twenty years ago, but the
donations kept on and kept on. When
one locality, town or county got con-
demned cannon the Others in the same
or adjoining State wanted the same
honor, and the Representatives and
Senators had to grant it. Then arose
the practice of making cannon, scratch.
ing them up little and condemning
them expressly to fill the donations
ordered by Congress. During the
present Congress about one hundred
condemned cannon have been donated.
As there are just now only about sixty
on hand an extra lot will have soon to
be made. ."-Washington Star.

Royal Revenues.

The Royal Family of England costs
the British Government in round mum,
bers 1000, 900 annually. OF this sum
the Queen receives nearly $1,000, 600
a year, besides the revenues IRON the
Duchy Of Lancaster, which amount to
n quarter of million. The Lord
Lieutenant OF Ireland receives $780,
600 year for his services and ex.
peuses, and the Prince OF Wales $780,
900 year. The President Of France
receives $780, 900 n year for salary
and expenses, an enormous salary
when it is remembered that the Re.
public is sweating under stupendous
National debt of over SO, 600, 600, ,000--
the largest debt ever incurred by any
Nation IN the world. Italy can have
10. 900 men slaughtered in Ably yssinia
and still pay her King 81, GOO, 600 ayear.
The civil list of the German Emperor
is about si,000,000 year, besides
large revenues from vast estates be-
longing to the Royal Family. The
Gear of all the Russias owns in fee
simple 1000, 900 square miles OF culti-
waited land, and enjoys an income of
sl2, 900, 900. The King of Spain,
little Alfonso Kill, ii he is of saw.
ing disposition, will be one of the
richest sovereigns in Europe when he
comes of age. The State allows him
81, 400, 900 year, with an additional
5000, 900 for family expenses. We are
said to be the richest Nation on earth,
yet our Presidents salary is only $780,
600 year. 1t was only S25, 1000 from
1889 to lS73-Grant's second term. -

Their perfume we could mark.

Compassion.

Could wc but sound the depths Of other
hearts,
And from their mirrored hops and aspira-
tions crushed
Teach to ourselves the painful lessons they
have learned,
Methinks the cross OF life would lighter be
And pathways smoothed. through strongknit
bonds Of human sympathy.
But mincing Custom, with its fawning train
O' saplng brains and ill-concealel distrust,
Frowns down the rising smile, the out
stretched hand
Sweeps of the trembling tear; dethrones tho
heart,
Sets Pride upon its feet, and with one venge-
ful thrust
The murder Is complete.

Dark with passions OF despairl

Maiden faces, childish faces,
Beauty in all forms aud phases.
Sojourner and denizen.
Oh! the pathos OF the faces.
Blightcd hopes ami dark disgraces,
when the angel robe is spotted and tho
White soul stained with sin;
Oh! the story Of the faces
Women faces. youthful faces
All the harp-chords strained and broken
Ere the anthem could begin.
oh! the pallor OF tho faces.
Flying from the cold death places;
Seeking, in the shouting highway,
Respite from the hell within.
Ohl the sadness OF the faces,
Mother faces. widow faces,
Haggard with the toll and watching,
BY the night lamp. pale and thin.
Oh! the horror OF the faces.
Scowlings. frowns and dark menaces,
Sodden with thousand vices,
Hideous with the brand Of Cain.
OH the terror Of the faces,
Felon faces. traitor faces.
Plague spots on the fair creation,
Nightmares of fevered brain.
Faces, faces
Crowding city streets and places
Faces smooth with youth and beauty,
Faces lined with age and care,
Oh! the story OF the faces.
or the glad and weary faces,
OF the faces everywhere.

Andrew ID. White quotes statistics
TO show that in no land is the right to
live SO trampled upon by the privIl-
eyed class of criminals as in America,
and that crime increases in proportion
more than the population. The homi-
cides in 1889 in this country num-
bered 1867. In 1895 they numbered
$500. The executions in these years
averaged respectively one in forty.tive
convictions and one in seventy-four
convictions. He said If the murderers
for the lhot six years were in prison
there would be 10000 of them. The
eleventh census shows that there are
but 1851 in prison. Mr.. White bitter
Iy denounces the sympathy expressed
for criminals, instancing a recent case
where 5000 people followed the body
of the murderer to the grave and 5000
was spent in floral offerings. Mr..
White attributes this increase in crime
largely to the careless, culpable and
criminal exercise of pardons" by the
Governors of various States. Mr..
White assigns the widespread criminal
education of children by means OF
dime novels, sensational newspapers,
posters and melodramas as particular
cause for increase in crime, as we'll as
the fact that young and old are con.
fined together in the prisons. He
suggests as remedies attention to SIM
pie elementary moral instruction in
schools, cleaner journalism, remodel.
ing Of prisons, laws against vicious
books and pamphlets and laws provid'
ing for habitual criminals. He also
advocates the passing OF laws for
speedier punist ment, and that State
courts should sit frequently to receive
statements regarding change or miti'
cation Of punishment.
