ed in a report on the omnibus and tram
car service of London. The tramways,
which correspond to our car lines, are
all Of 4 feet s h inches gauge except two
lines, which are only 3 feet inches.
There are in the city II distinct routes,
of which So are in use The mileage of
the worked lines is given as $40. The
average speed of a London tram is 5. 48
miles per hour; that Of a London omni-
bus is 5. 5 miles per hour. The average
tram fare is 67-1O0ths of penny g
cents) per mile. The average omnibus
fare is 92-100ths of a penny per mile.
There are $40 cars on the lines, which
among them run II, $50 single journeys
during their days work, which lasts on
the average Is hours and a. minutes.
The omnibuses are more than twice as
many. There are 2,130 Of them, and
these are run 5000 single journeys in
the course Of day that averages 10
hours and 80 minutes. There are 10

THE BlI uERFLY.


How tho Gorgeous Boanty Bulsts lrums
His Ugly Outer Shall.
Last summer noticed milkweed
caterpillar travelling across the piazza
floor, evidently in search Of his final
shelter. We secured him temporarily
under tumbler. but there, to our sur-
prise, he proceeded to spin his little
web and hang himself head downward
from the bottom of the covering glass
in such wise that in the course Of two
days we saw the whole process Of CHANGE
even to the splitting Of the caterpillar
skin and the final wriggle from it that
changed him into the most exquisite
transparent, nile green chrysalis, but
toned with gold. Toward the end Of two.
weeks this began to grow opaque, and
gradually we saw from under it the
thorax, antenn@, head, wings and abb
dominal rings in perfect coloring Of
black and red. One fine morning he
burst this outer shell Of sin and Matched
himself, not ga cherubim, = but a
more tangible aerial creature, though
not able to float off at once, as perhaps
even cherubim do not. No; his wings
were only as big as dime pieces And
still the wonder grew as we watched
them grow and unfold under our eyes
in breathless amazement, and one at
least in reverence and awe. 1t seemed
such a definite change from death into
life. It was not SO difficult then to inn
agine soul freed from it's mortal en-
velope since this marvel could be done.
The little creature, after expanding
to its full size, became very sociable,
liking to be held on the finger, and after
I had once unrolled his proboscis with
pin and guided it to drop of sugared
water quickly learned to find his food
and sucked up drop Gin no time.''
After a few days he foated out of
carelessly opened window, and I was
glad and sympathized, for I, too, longed
to try my wings beyond four walls.
Milkweed caterpillars are common
enough (Danais Archippus, believe,
but cannot verify), and it is a most
charming and exciting experiment, es-
pecially for an invalid, to try.-Boston

Lessons For Schoolboys,

There is no question that our fore
fathers supposed that benefit might be
derived from causing schoolboys to be
spectators Of the hanging Of criminals.
Sir Walter Scott had borne testimony
to this custom being not unknown in
Scotland. In The Heart of Midlothian.
Mr.. Saddletree is represented as saying:
promised to ask half play day to the
schulz. SO that the BARNS might gang and see
the hanging, which Gamma but have pleasing
effect on their young minds, seeing there is no
knowing what they may come to themselves.

Louis NapOleOn's Plot.

Sir William Fraser states, in volume
of "reminiscences which has just been
published, that Napoleon III, while in
exile at Chiselhurst, matured plan to
restore himself to the throne. A private
yacht, of which the late Mr.. James AS
bury was owner, had been actually
chartered for the purpose of landing the
former emperor on the French coast,
whence he was to repair in disguise to
Chalons, where an army corps was en-
gagged in maneuvers, there throw off his
incognito and lead the troops into Paris.

The French Cabinet Crisis As
sumes Very Alarming
Proportions.
Said to Be the Most Serious
Since the Exciting Times
of 1907.
Deputies, by Defying the SEN
ate, Have Endangered the
Constitution.

PARIS, Feb. 18.-The political crisis
which has arisen out of the demand of
the senate for vigorous and thorough
inquiry into the Southern railway
scandals that body having emphasized
its attitue in the matter by twice re-
fusing vote of confidence in the
Bourgeois ministry is now practically q
struggle between the chamber of dep
uties, which has supported the radical
ministry, and the, senate which seems
bent upon overthrowing it, even at the
cost of most serious disturbances. How
ever, in spite of the acute crisis and the
possibility of the downfall Of the Bour-
geois ministry or even dissolution
Of the parliament, there is
little Or no excitement here
outside of the newspaper Offices. But
it is claimed that the resignation Of the
ministry would not alter matters to any
great degree, as it appears to be no
longer a. question Of confidence or of
non-confdence in the cabinet. The
chamber of deputies, it is asserted, has
practically, by defying the senate,
Endangered the Constitution,
aud the result is condition of affairs
about as threatening as any since the
troublesome times of 1901
The newspapers are filled with excit-
ed articles and vivid reproductions of
interviews with political leaders, and
many of them have expressed the opin-
ion that constitutional solution Of the
problem is impossible.
The Conservatives and Socialists de-
mand dissolution of parliament and
the Moderates and the Republicans
agree that a dissolution is advisable,
but they claim it should take place I'm.
der another cabinet.

Useful Reading.
Mrs. Browning says:
X x x We get no good

We get no good
By being ungenerous, even to book
And calculating profits so much help
By so much reading. It is rather when
We gloriously forget ourselves and plunge
Soul forward, headlong into books profound
Impassioned for it's beauty and salt of truth
IT'S then we get the right good from book.
1t must be remembered that the wom-
an who wrote this was a profound
scholar, one who delighted in hard study
and who was educated far beyond most
women of her day. She was able to
"plunge soul forward into many books
besides sensational novels The rule does
not apply to those who find everything
which is not exciting abore.-Brooklyn

The Stylus.

The Roman pen, or stylus, was an
iron implement, sharp at one end like

The sharp end was employed for writing
and the fat for erasing or correcting

In the year 1868, Mr.. j. R. Watkins first began
y the manufacture of Dr.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
Striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of Success but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name CDR. Ward's'
a household word in thousands OF homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toiling and waiting,
Mr. Watkins little thought that men could be
found SO lost to every principle OF right ana
justice to undertake TO despoil him OF his bus
iness, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labOrs. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
1sjust as good Dr.. Wards, )" frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his bus-
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr. Watkins Bought from Richard Ward, the
Worldwide right to use his name trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. 5. Patent Office

KILLED BY IMAGINATION,
Soldier Thought the Pin Prick of q
Friend a Bullet.

Washington Star.
"In my opinion" remarked the college
professor, who rose from the ranks during
the last war to the position of colonel, "the
imagination of man does more injury to the
cause of courage than all the appliances of
war yet discovered. 1 had a remarkable case
happen to me during the battles around
Richmond. That is to say, it happened to
another man, but l was part of it. 1t was
on skirmish line, and 1 was lying behind a
log with two other men-I was only private
then-one of whom was an inveterate Joker
and the other was one of the imaginative
KIND OF soldiers. In fact he was so imag-
inat1ve that he was almost scared out of his
wits, and when bullets and shells began fly
ing through the woods, cutting off sapplings,
clipping limbs all around us, and barking
the top of the log behind which we lay, l
thought the fellow would burst blood ves-
sci, or go crazy do some other fool thing
unhecoming soldier. Tom, the joker, no
ticed the mans terror, and called my atten-
tion to it.
Then he reached out and dragged in a
stick cut from the trees above us by bullet.
and, fixing pin in it, proceeded to have his
fun. The man was at the far end of our
log ten feet from Tom, and l was Just be-
yond Tom on the other side, and, 1 am free
to confess, was nervous enough to wonder
at Toms manner at such a time. However.
l couldn't help watching his movements, and
actually laughed to see him sliding the pin
pointed stick along toward the unsuspecting
victim. Having got it at the right distance
he waited for a smashing volley Of bullets.
and just as 1t came he prodded the soldier
In the back with the pin. Well, 1t was really
funny to see the chap jump and yell and roll
over, and we both fairly howled. But 1t
wasn't so funny when the man didn't move
after his first startled action and Tom looked
around at me in a scared kind of way. His
surprise found expression in an OATH and he
called to the man. There was no answer.
and he called again, with the same result.
Then ne crept over to him and gave him a
shake. That brought no response either.
and Tom dragged him around SO that he
could see his face. 1t was an ashy blue,
with the eyes staring wide open, and the
man was as dead as Julius Caesar, with
never mark on him, save, perhaps. that
one pin scratch In his back

with part in which he is seen to the FULLEST
advantage, financier with shady past who
is imposing upon society as spiritualist.
Every additional item of news from Bulu-
wayo shows that the small body of British
troops of 300 men, which SORTED Friday morn
ing from that town and engaged a Matabele
army, occupying about four miles of the north
bank of the Unguza river, displayed the great
est gallantry. Several remarkable examples
of herosm are recorded, upon the part of Of
ficers and troopers in saving the lives of
wounded comrades at the risk of their own
lives. One officer gave, his horse to badly
wounded comrade, and soon afterwards was
killed by fighting his way back to his corps.
The general result of the engagement appears
to have been reverse for the British who were
greatly outnumbered, and once were nearly
surrounded. The Matabeles showed much su-
perior knowledge of tactics to that which
they displayed while fighting years ago.
They threw themselves on the ground
when they saw 1.-The machine guns go
ing into action and repeatedly tried to out
flank the troopers. The evidence points to the
Matabeles having the intention Of endeavoring
to surround the town and cut off communica-
ton with it In all directions. A patrol was to
have left Buluwayo Thursday, in order to as
certain If the route to Salisbury was still open
for the advance Of the relief column dis
patched from Mafeking, upon which body of
men rests the hope of relieving Buluwayo.
The advance guard of the column is expected
to reach the outposts of Buluwayo during the
first week in May, and the main body, 1T is
hoped, will reach the besieged town soon after
wards.

sPAIN,s AFFAIR ALONE.
The United States Has No Rights in
Cuba.

Cuba.
MADRID April 25.-Senor Morel the great
est Spanish authority on international law,
and the leader of the Democratic Liberal party,
has written a long article, over his own sig
nature, which appears in the Globo, under the
heading "An International Review" After
reviewing the Cuban question in all its bear
ings, Senor Morel concludes thus:
up to now our government has done moth
ing to fulfill it's duty. 1t has not applied the
last law, in spite Of the fact that what the in
surgents most feared was the application of
reforms. So much is this the case that, see
ing them so near, they precpitated the upris-
ing. Nothing has been done to prevent the
poverty and starvation which now threatens
Cuba. No steps have been taken to increase
the number of our friends, or to diminish that
of the insurgents. Everything is still to be
done, and, what is worse, we are left in doubt
as to how and when 1t will be done.
Instead of waiting in fear for the question
to be put to us from Washington, we ought to
decide beforehand what answer will be given
to that and all other governments"
AS showing the interest in the matter in
Spain, all the newspapers have leading arti-
cles on Senior Morers views. The Imparcial
which gives the best expression to the present
public sentiment, says: ''Senor Morel begins
by stating that it is inevitable that the United
States should take an interest in all Cuban af-
fairs, but the fact that the island of Cuba is
more or less tempting to the United States
does not justify its intervention. Senor Morel
abandons, evidently through strategic error,
the position which we must take and hold If
we are to win the FIRST battle on the field of
international right,H viz: That the republic
has no right to interfere In the affairs of
Cuba, which are those of Spain alone. We
cannot permit, under any circumstances, that
foreigners should interfere in matters relating
to the Cuban matter"

his conviction:
Il am sorry now that 1 did not ac-
